I think I'm gonna have to rest for a bit before I blow a large portion of my brain again.

[ZephyrZ]

Passed the 100 raid mark on my shiny Dialga hunt.

I just wanna have a shiny Dialga so my mono-dragon team can blast fairy and ice types in the upcoming International Challenges. But once Pokemon Legends releases I'm gonna be way too distracted to continue to hunt. At this rate I might have to settle for a normie Dialga who isn't green.

I always complain about shiny hunting why do I still insist on doing it?

 

[TheMightyP]

Honestly hope Tails is playable in Frontiers, because Adventure 1 showed me that Tails is so much fun in an more open ended enviroment.

I'm doubting he'll be playable, but I still have hope that he is.

Dialga after I take it down for the 107th time and it's still not green:

Did I forget to mention I only caught a single other shiny in all of those 100+ raids, and it was one that I already owned? This is my Giratina hunt all over again.

You know. I think I'm going to give up on drawing

Sonic fandom is probably gonna go ham with Frontiers modding community, so one way or another, we're definitely gonna see some playable characters.

Not as bad as US's gun and school shooting statistics.

That’s such a nostalgia trip

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

1. I just watched a few video projects I did about five years ago on a few games like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy XV. Man I miss being able to do so much like play 30 games in a week, record footage, edit into a video and then write a 1,500 word essay on it.
Was such a great time of my life.

2. So gonna throw this post quickly since it is five years since I had one of the best week/fortnights ever in gaming personally. It, including two of my favourite games of all time and one of my all time narratives in gaming and a pretty good port-ish.

Lamperouge M MooMew64 Wademan94 Dyllybirdy I'm tagging you guys cause well, friends and all. It's long but bear with me.

Spoiler: The Quartet

Yakuza 0, Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Gravity Rush 2 and Tales of Berseria. All four games I waited ages to play and all four I was so stoked to have and all of them I got day 1. All of these games I've now came to hold in very high regard.

Yakuza 0 - What was the most unsure to get ended up becoming one of my favourite series of all time. I wasn't in the crowd of "yo, it's ****in Japam GTA!" cause I have intelligence and I had dabbled in the series briefly. I mainly bought it since I wanted to get into more Sega games.
And how blown I was. Seeing both Kiryu and Maijima going through hell all because of a girl and an empty plot of land was amazing. The visuals, the music, characters and the over the top gameplay was poetry in motion. I fell in love and wanted more.
A special mention as well for Takuya Kuroda's performance as Kiryu who along with another performance here fully pulled me into Japanese voice acting and understanding great performances instead of just "jumble".

Kingdom Hearts 2.8 - I've mentioned in the past how I've had a love/hate relationship with the series. Playing 0.2 was easily a love point for the series with that gameplay, the horde boss fight, the music (the menu theme is one of the best versions of Dearly Beloved) and a nice base for 3 with the animations. Dream Drop Distance (with that amazing gameplay and best cameos in the series) was a nice addition.
Prequel film was fine though.

Gravity Rush 2 - "Fall Again. A New Project from Team Gravity."
That was all from the TGS 2013 trailer to make me shout of joy. Gravity Rush is a game that holds a special place in my heart and the sequel with the ever amazing Kat as the heroine gave me more. The story while a mess at times gave us some of the best and most entertaining moments of the game but most of all it did one thing above and beyond few games have managed to do.
Flight. The sense of flight in this game is something that few have managed to do so perfectly without feeling overpowered. Flying around the twin cities of the World Pillar is one of my all time favourite moments from PlayStation and its games. The sense of wonder, the whimsical soundtrack, the beautiful French comic inspired art style and an ever lovable cast of characters who still shine better than some of the gaming giants present leads. Kat still to this day leaves a stronger impression on myself than the likes of Aloy or Ellie with her strong sense of justice, ever lovable sarcasm and trying to find out who she is in this topsy turvy world (literally). Without Kat (and Ruby Rose from RWBY) my character Sakura would never have became who she is in her present form.
Play Gravity Rush 1 and 2 guys. I can't stress it enough.

Tales of Berseria - First of all, I was not a fan of the battle system. Criticism over.
After playing and loving Zestiria I was left wondering about how Berseria turned out.................then I saw the characters and narrative. I was ecstatic but a bit worried.
"IDK know if Tales can pull a great narrative after how messy the previous game was." I was wrong.
What I got was one of my favourite stories of all time in gaming. A girl now cursed with a vampire arm seeking nothing more than the head of her relative for murdering her younger brother............who has now become a warrior pope. Velvet Crowe is one of the best Tales protagonists and Rina Sato's performance (the second example) also pulled me into how great Japanese voice acting can be. She has a badass design and a coolness to it.
With a great theme of emotion vs reason, one of the best protagonist/antagonist relationships, one of my favourite scenes in gaming never featuring the main character (just Eizen and Rokurou having a drink but something about it blew my mind) it's my favourite revenge story outside of Assassin's Creed II.

Oh and the game is far, far better than Arise. Just saying.

So there you go. I also completed one of them in about two days. This was also the week in which I infamously stayed up 20 hours about twice in it cause of waiting on games to unlock, playing them, video editing and staying up all night THEN going into college. Somehow despite staying up that long I was enjoying it.
Never I've drank more cans of energy in my life since.

Happy memories of the late 90's in which I remembered this song went to number one in the UK charts for a couple of weeks. Funnily enough this song was played during the intro of Iron Man 3.

Top 10 thing Britian has brought us (in no order)
1. Andrew Garfield. He played Spider-Man
2. Tom Holland. He played Spider-Man
3. Idris Elba. He plays Knuckles.
4. Donkey Kong Country. Possibly the only good country that the British were responsible for.

Plus you also got:

• Benedict Cumberbatch - Played the titular character Sherlock and Dr. Stephen Strange.
• Tom Hiddleston - Played Loki.
• Florence Pugh - Played Yelena Belova.
• Anthony Hopkins - Played Odin.
• Paul Bettany - Played Vision.
• Emily Blunt
• Hayley Atwell - Played Peggy Carter.

I'm pretty sure that there are plenty more British actors/actresses that went to the states.

On point number 4, Rareware used to be such a gem back during the Nintendo days before it went to Microsoft.

Excuse me???

If you checked my post history it was the only thing I talked about for a few days. I'm currently in Silver IV because I grinded the story mode 100% before going online. I'm running Plunder Patroll and it's going alright.

I was curious.


Then saw it was using the OCG banlist and remembered Maxx C was at 3 there.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

I'm currently consuming homemade tacos. Ask me anything.

 

[MooMew64]

Just watch

Is that seriously everything holding you back? Just Maxx C?

It's not even that bad. Why do Westerners hate this bug so much? You're afraid of having your opponent draw? If you're spamming special summons, you're probably already building a fifteen negate board. I've only seen someone win once from drawing a bunch with Maxx C, and they used their entire hand of fifteen cards just to attack once because his opponent used cards that halved his life points.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Chocolate chips, sitting in the cupboard.

I meant:

It's uh................****.

Can't fight my way out of this one.

My wit got ahead of me.

Eh.

I just find the card really poorly designed, and having to include cards to counter just the one card is annoying. Yeah, I was probably already going to include Ash, probably CBTG, but Crossout? When I feel like I have to include all these cards just to attempt to counter 1 card so my opponent doesn't gain a huge advantage, I just find that poor game design, and have not missed it at all being banned in the TCG. Hell, it's why Crossout Designator, a card hyped to hell here, flopped. No Maxx "C" to counter, thus it sees barely any play.

My decks can play through an Ash or Droll, but as soon as I see Maxx, there's nothing I can do. My favorite decks are all spam decks, so my opponent will have like, 20 cards in their opening hand, and I have to do this, because YGO as a game punishes you to not make an unbreakable board turn 1. If I stop on a sub-optimal board, I'm gonna die.


And let's not forget that the game is f2p, but with Microtransactions, so a lot of said counters are all the highest tier rarity, which means more packs, more gems, etc

CBTG is a genuinely good card I run in general. Not just for handtraps, I also love it to stop monster plays in the graveyard. Eldlich? Not a problem. Virtual World? Not a problem. Invoked? Never has been. Draitron kicks my ass though I'm not gonna lie but that's why I run Gamaciel because it's so cheap to make lol

Master Duel to me proves just how little Maxx C would actually impact in the meta if it was brought back. Do people run it? Sure. Do you win just because you have it? LMAO no

The craft system literally makes it free???????????????????? Are you sure you even looked at a trailer???????????????

So I need to go dark for two hours to really finish up stuff but first:

I'm a billion percent gonna keep Lonely Rolling Star as my tagline unless I go memeic for one day. It may or may not have been influenced by you Lamperouge . Your influence grows on me mate.

So yeah time to get stuff done.
