three weeks till june and maybe *insert Arms character here*. I'm very bored of this wait.

 

[KillerCage]

I got a question for you guys based on the video below (you might want to make some popcorn.)

Do you agree with this guy's criticisms on Sword and Shield and if not, what do you disagree with and why?
I cannot answer this myself due to me not playing these games (the controversies scared me off.)

I hope my favourite comic book Store opens in Monday!

I will buy some missing comics I want and a figure for my collection.

I don't have the time to watch a full hour review, but I do know the guy behind it was notorious for fanning the flames during dexit pre-launch so I doubt his review is going to be entirely fair. If you look at his channel half of his videos are focused on bashing Pokemon Sword/Shield - he's not someone you can expect a fair or unbiased review from.

Ultimately, I think Pokemon Sword/Shield are very flawed but still enjoyable games.

On one hand, the wild area looks a bit rough around the edges, the main routes are small, dexit is hard to justify, and the story is a little bit of a mess.

On the other hand, the new pokemon designs are great, the wild area is fun to explore, and raid battles are a great new feature I hope they keep in future titles. For the better or worse, it's a pokemon game. It didn't live up to it's full potential but the core gameplay is still fun.


On a final note regarding difficulty, yes it's a very easy game. However some gym leaders can catch you off guard if you aren't fully prepared for them. Don't expect much of a challenge but I think people really like to exaggerate just how "brain dead" it is.

My friend from Madrid just gave me a Tyranitar in Pokémon Shield through trading!!!

The year is 2008.

The time: 2:30 a.m.

You awaken in a cold sweat.

A light illuminates your dim room and a sound penetrates the area.

You hear the words that come this time every night: All. My. Friends. Know the low rider.

You see him.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Was watching Alpharad+'s latest video when PsySmasher got a cameo.

The arena shut down before we got to see him get crushed by Plussy though.

Ironic, because I just had some Smash matches with my friend from Madrid too!!

He was really good at the game, more so as Ike.

Hey all, do your old pal Nate a favor and go ahead and buy Sakura Wars. Kthx.

I'm already saving money for It contrera.

Would be awesome if my friends could lead me a hand and help me buy It, but we are already saving all of our money for our holidays plan and I don't want to be an abuser.

So I will save money on my own.

Anyone up for more SEGA All-Stars Racing talk?

I loved the 2 games long time ago! (All Stars and Transformed.)

If we get a new game one day, I wanna see the G.U.N Truck from City Escape as a new character. (Would be awesome to play as.)

Too bad its more likely 5-6 more weeks (June 11th-June 18th) until the ARMS rep and supposedly FP7.

It's been a year since the opening weekend of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.

Such a good movie!

Not sure how many people will know this game. I never got to play it myself....yet. But it looks really cool and has some really nice soundtracks in it.

Smash characters have it better than Marvel and DC characters do

It's been a year since the opening weekend of Pokémon: Detective Pikachu.

Such a good movie!

The first video game movie to score a fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.

How shocking.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I'm trying to work on some concept art, and I swear I have been working on this face for forty minutes.

Also, Happy Goku and Piccolo day. Had to do a real quick sketch for it.

Smash characters have it better than Marvel and DC characters do

I mean, most of the Marvel/DC heroes have either dead parents or dead parental figures at the very least.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I mean, most of the Marvel/DC heroes have either dead parents or dead parental figures at the very least.

Samus, maybe BOTW Link(we don't know his backstory), and technically Toon Link(since it's an artstyle, well), but definitely Young Link are some of the few who have dead parents/parental figures.

Some just are never shown as is(Mario, Luigi, Bowser, for a few examples). There's probably some Fire Emblem technicalities in the same way Toon Link is, where it spans across generations, but maybe only some are plot relevant to the character?

Spoiler

Imagine if Shadow got in. He's got two dead dads. Black Doom he had to kill himself, and Gerald was killed by G.U.N. Ouch. Also, with Maria dead, basically a niece, it gets more nuts. Imagine if Eggman and his empire were killed. Since Eggman is his nephew, that makes all of Eggman's creations basically great nephews. He still has a huge family all things considered. And many of Eggman's creations are sentient robots as is. And that's just the game canon. Also, technically speaking, since Gerald reprogrammed the Gizoid, it's as close to a brother as Shadow has. I mean, there's also the Shadow Androids, which are also great nephews by all means. Hoo boy.

One of these days I'll finish my town in Animal Crossing, but today is not that day. In fact I've been feeling fairly lethargic and without energy for a while now. Not exactly sure why, but it's also the reason why I've barely been around

Hey all, do your old pal Nate a favor and go ahead and buy Sakura Wars. Kthx.

Already done so last week, still haven't played it though. Got it to support the franchise.

I'll indulge you. I put together my dream roster for a third game in the series. That said, you know my more conservatist, "quality over quantity" style, so I limited myself to 40 characters total after DLC.

Basically, base roster is the size of Transformed's full roster, plus an additional six DLC characters. I trimmed the unnecessary fat (read: unneccessary and unfitting guest characters: Wreck-It Ralph, Danica Patrick, Yogscast, Team Fortress) and stuck to a few rules: One character per non-Sonic franchise as in the first game, any SEGA-owned property (including acquired ones like Atlus-owned series and Puyo Puyo) are allowed, what minimal guest characters are allowed must have at least some underlying history with SEGA or the SEGA brand, and also must be game characters, and absolutely no console-exclusive characters. Consumers should have access to the full package.

With that in mind, the roster is:

Spoiler

1. Sonic the Hedgehog
2. Miles "Tails" Prower
3. Knuckles the Echidna
4. Amy Rose
5. Shadow the Hedgehog
6. Rouge the Bat
7. Team Chaotix
8. Silver the Hedgehog
9. Dr. Eggman
10. AiAi
11. Amigo
12. Billy Hatcher
13. Beat
14. Ulala
15. Alex Kidd
16. Ryo Hazuki
17. Jacky & Akira
18. B.D. Joe
19. Vyse
20. Toma
21. ChuChus
22. Bonanza Bros.
23. Gilius Thunderhead
24. Joe Musashi
25. NiGHTS
26. Alis Landale
27. Kazuma Kiryu
28. Sakura Shinguji
29. Selvaria Bles
30. Arle Nadja
31. Segata Sanshiro/AGES
32. Toejam & Earl
33. Bayonetta
34. Joker

And the DLC consists of:

Spoiler

35. Metal Sonic
36. Blaze the Cat
37. Axel Stone
38. Earthworm Jim
39. Football Manager
40. Fan-Poll Character

Blaze was on my SEGA vs. Capcom base roster so I had to be fair to Silver here. Besides, Blaze is cool, so it's only natural you have to pay to get her.

I remember that Bayonetta was originally going to be in this game before being cut due to mature themes.
