Get in line, bub. I got dibs on the universe for a good eon or two.

You gotta make a reservation.

I once arm wrestled Superman. The loser had to wear their underwear outside their pants.

Why do so many enemies in Metroid just end up as bullet sponges. I swear. For a game series that’s supposed to be about exploring and manipulating the environment to your advantage, a lot of the fights just come down to shooting which would be fine if they didn’t all take so many god damn hits! Seriously. Every boss in every game should have a trick like Draygon’s. It’s so much more satisfying!

The argument I've seen is that the bosses are designed to reward you for collecting missile and health tanks. The more missile tanks you collect throughout the world, the faster you can bring a boss down.

There's also that if every boss had an easy trick to defeat them, it'd kind of trivialize the boss element of them. Which I guess could still be really satisfying if you don't like fighting the bosses, but would be kind of a let down if you're looking for a challenge.

I guess. But like…. I keep getting the patterns down and collecting every item I can at each point in the game and they still just randomly forever to beat. I just wish the bosses were more akin to the actual gameplay you engage in for 90% of the game.

Decided to list down most of my Miitopia cast now that I'm done with the main story. It's not everybody.

Spoiler: Spoilers for those who haven't beaten the game!

Speaking of Metroid.

OH MY GOD

Je doute fort qu'il nous apparaisse sous cette forme dans #MetroidDread (ou dans n'importe quel autre futur épisode d'ailleurs) mais j'avais envie de dessiner un petit #Ridley à la forme metroidesque.

First social media reactions for James Gunn's the Suicide Squad is coming in and they have been generally positive.

Let's just hope it does not end up doing a Wonder Woman 1984 in terms of how the early social media reactions went. But Warner Bros. really need to get lot more marketing done this month.

Whoo! Good news being its amongst my most anticipated films this year!

I'm optimistic because come on its James freaking Gunn. How can it not be good?

Plus King Shark. That's more then enough to indicate it will be.

More excited for this film then I was for Black Widow or any of the upcoming MCU films this year.

[Michael the Spikester]

Ooof.

Space Jam: A New Legacy ain't getting good reviews apparently. 3.7 on IMDB, 38% on both Rotten Tomatoes and MetaCritic. Even Jeremy Jahns didn't like it.

Regardless still gonna check it out for the sake of curiosity.

Boss fights in Metroid are generally geared towards trying to survive the encounter. Being able to manage dodging their attacks while maintaining constant offense as much as possible.

I do think it's neat having little tricks to beating bosses like for Draygon, but it kinda defeats the purpose of the challenge if every boss can be killed in one hit. Most random enemies in Metroid can be killed rather easily especially in the late game with plasma beam and screw attack, bosses are meant to be a bit more of a blockade.

I'm aware that the film is done by James Gunn who is known for his work on Guardians of the Galaxy and it should be good considering it is the 4th most anticipated Summer film on the Fandango poll.

Whilst the social media reactions do seem positive, yet I still remain pretty nervous and cautious when it comes to how the reviews comes out once it has met its embargo date.

To be honest, I have completely forgotten that Space Jam: New Legacy came out today and the reviews don't seem to be stellar.

Mickey Mouse Movie

If someone here actually gets the joke, color me impressed

 

[NonsensicalThings]

I’ve heard good things about Space Jam 2 on Twitter but it’s “fun popcorn flick!” notb”it’s incredible!” or anything, which is kinda about what I expected honestly.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

come on and slam

and welcome back the jam

Spoiler

Now this is what I call true turtle power.

Rest in pepperoni Shredder and Foot Clan.

 

[TheMightyP]

TFW a movie starring Mickey Mouse Ring and Bugs Bunny is just dumb fun not to be taken seriously and not the 21st century's Citizen Kane

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm honestly surprised there isn't more crossover fanart between Gamera and TMNT.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

ok so Space Jam NL definitely loves to show off the “good side” of Warner Bros…but…

Spoiler: Daffy Duck stuff

he destroyed the DC Universe again…that’s just normal Daffy

Spoiler: for Zendaya Bunny

she is now a literal Amazonian, and it oddly works

TMNTSSB4
but more importantly is this small cameo from Rick & Morty

Spoiler

Now this is what I call true turtle power.

Rest in pepperoni Shredder and Foot Clan.

2012 Raph literally has a kaiju pet (while making Tokka a kaiju mom) and 2 major episodes in season 4 because of it…so there’s definitely potential

I mean, as much as I think Nintendo should make their old games more avaible, I don't see what's so shocking about this?

They don't have them all avaible first hand, so what else are they supposed to say? That they endorse piracy?

Not even to kill them in one hit. Just to make it take less time. The tricks could even be locked behind certain optional upgrades.

I wish all scalpers a very unpleasant.... well, the worst thing I can wish them while being Smashboards appropriate.

They're actually trying to do a reservation period with checks in place to at least attempt to prevent this garbage.

Valve deserves credit in that they set-up an anti-scalper check with the buyer required to have purchased a game on Steam before June 2021, they really thought ahead of everything. Now I just wish it's available to be reserved in my region.....
