Anyone remember seeing commercials in the early 2000s or so that involved using this handheld scanner to scan barcodes, and then you could find and capture monsters from the barcode, and then fight with them?


Looking back, that seemed like a really ****ing cool concept. Like, I can be buying a box of cereal and get a goddamn Cthulhu.

Barmon. Gotta scan 'em all!
...I don't recall those, despite being born in '92.

Another day, another looming threat of having tomorrow's classes cancelled. Not only that, but more EVO shenanigans with how the rules favor Melee and make Smash 4 look like an inconvenience at BEST.

I thought these snow days were going to be a good thing, but alas, I fear they are not. Next week, please come soon. T.T

And what was that news ?
Nothing much at the moment, and why is that?
University related. Basically, I applied to be part of an exhibition held by our university to show off my work to potential networking contacts and games industry people. They just announced the successful applicants today, but unfortunately, I didn't make the cut.

One of these days I'll try Kingdom Hearts to see what the hubbub is about, but for right now I'll remain confused at the various references used.
Something tells me that you'll be more interested if a KH game were to have that Incredibles world with Mr. Incredible as a partner. Though I'm pretty sure that Nomura would stop avoiding Pixar material one day in the future.

Speaking of future, where the hell is my Meet the Robinson's world? :hulk:

Wow. I'm sorry to hear that man. :/
I dislike it when those things happen.

That sucks.

You should fly to Sirius and try to regain your center.

I actually had one of those! But the fun sort of died when I realized that the only way to heal your monsters was to use a special barcode that came with a comic, and accidentally threw it out. So I basically had a bunch of dead monsters. I hardly remember the actual monsters though, I vaguely remember one of them resembling an armadillo.

God that healing mechanic sounds pretty bad.

But man, if they revived the concept and tweaked some things a bit, I think it really could have caught on more.



No clue why I suddenly remembered it though.

Who cares about Evo?
It isn't about EVO, it is about people further ****ting on a relatively new game so that they can still play and focus on their 13/14 year-old zombie of a game. When big tournaments make limitations such as 2 stock, 5 minutes as compared to 4 stock, 8 minutes, having continuous outbursts from elitists and even possible physical altercations because of this (as shown in APEX 2015), it shows they are pandering to the point that these "elitists" will ultimately prevent the game from growing to other people. That is the issue. ...As if it isn't already happening. :glare:

2 stock 5 minutes is meh. I'd rather have 3 stock 8 minutes.
Why base something after For Scrubs? Makes zero sense. That being said, yeah, I agree.

As a new person, I am thoroughly confused. Ah, well. Here have a Smash-related picture

Damn! Now I'm having flashbacks of that YouTuber FLAMINGBABYPUNCH, who gave 100 reasons as to why Ed could beat Goku. Most of his posts in general give me that chuckle I needed when in the salt mine that is Death Battle comment section. :troll:

I didn't know that Kikkipoptart12 was a girl. Wow, I'm oblivious. :laugh:


It's awesome. It practically is a video game music, especially the instrumental version.

:231:
I didn't know I was a girl? It wouldn't be the first time someone thought I was a guy, Because I never feel the need to correct or tell anyone.

For Scrubs: the place to go when you want to feel better about yourself. The Wal-Mart of game modes ladies and gentleman.

On a completely unrelated note, Raisenets are delicious as ****.

It's also the home for spammers, noobs, and ragequitters. Because of this specific reason, I tend to prefer playing with friends.

Indeed
Last person I played on For Glory was a :4link: that only knew how to side b, neutral b and roll to the far end of the stage. >_>
