Ok, so now that the Owl House has lived up to the hype and I ended up liking the characters a lot, I decided to update my list of future cosplays to make when the comic/manga convention of my island opens again:



I think that this summer I will keep work on the Alex Kidd cosplay, and if I have enough time I could start work on the one for Luz as It seems easy to make.

I will only cosplay if I can get a second person to make my Banjo + Kazooie puppet cosplay work.

 

[Lamperouge]

If you say Smash I will be slightly annoyed for a few seconds!

Nah, he obviously meant Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring for the PS1.

 

[The Frog Dealer]

hot take but slay the spire is a good game

 

[Aurane]

FNAF+ used the lost tapes idea for their trailer yesterday.

That's funny.

PS5: Restock of new PlayStations causes chaos online

Experts say automated bots are buying up the stock for resale.

www.bbc.co.uk

**** Scalpers and people like these. One of my IRL friends was planning on getting a PS5 today but he missed the boat cause of trash.

He found out Demon Souls was on it a few weeks ago and then was like "I have a PC but.........Demon Souls." Crap day for him.

And this my friend is why I'm waiting it out with the PS5 until most if not all bugs are dealt with.

I went through the same **** but I got one eventually. Just gotta keep trying.

I'm gonna get the Xbox Series X first and then the PS5.

Mostly because I find Game Pass to be a really tempting deal and my hype for the new Perfect Dark and Fable games.
Also because I want to wait before I start buying PS5 games and such (they went higher on price where I live).

But yeah, if all goes right I will try to get both systems. Of course gonna have to wait a while between both.

 

[ZephyrZ]

ZephyrZ I don't know if you knew this, but Perry made a cameo in Big City Greens.

Since others already pointed out all the plush cameos, I'll point out that the arcade machines in the back ground also reference Gravity Falls.

 

[Lamperouge]

$500 is a tough pill to swallow for a console that doesn't have many exclusives that I'm excited for yet. I'm content sticking with my PS4 for now and waiting it out.

Not that I have much of a choice since you can barely find the damn thing.

Yeah, that is another thing too.

The console just launched, and besides Demon's Souls and maybe Miles Morales there isn't any exclusive game which really makes me think "woah, I want to own a PS5 already".

So It is really good too to wait until they announce games which catch my attention even more.

They really should have just delayed both Console Launches. I don't think anyone would have blamed them.

Somehow, my parents got it in a giveaway. AT BELKS.

Even if they delayed the systems there would still be stock problems too.

Sadly that's how things tend to go nowadays. Even for simple stuff such as LEGO Mario sets.
The bigger the demand, the more scalpers who come in to try and cash in.

Somehow, my parents got it in a giveaway. AT BELKS.

Had to look up the Wikipedia article of Belks to see what that was.

Apparently It is basically the USA equivalent of El Corte Inglés.

Yeah, I can see why you would be shocked at getting It from a giveaway over there.

 

[Noipoi]

You know what they say, never buy a console at launch.

Personally I'm waiting until FFXVI comes out for now. Maybe sooner if there is a surprise announcement but I think 2021 is going to be like 2014, only one or two big name proper next gen exclusives and a year where Nintendo kinda sweeps in critical acclaim (BOTW2, Diamond and Pearl remakes and any other suprises).

Plus I've still a number of games I'm interested in getting on PS4 so as long as there's that and Tales of Arise to come out, I'm fine on waiting more or less.

They really should have just delayed both Console Launches. I don't think anyone would have blamed them.

I'd have to agree on that. I understand holiday season but they should have waited until March at least. "But holiday sales!" the money maker would say. Look at the damn Switch would be my counterpoint.

I've a special place in hell for scalpers ever since that story with the amiibo craze where a greedy store owner looked in front of a kid and was like "I'm buying all of these and gonna sell them." with the stock.

Like come on, instead of scalping if you are desperate for money just fake an injury or a disability and get money from the government. Least then you won't be making kids cry.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Finally we can play as the entire Toad brigade from Mario Galaxy.

NGL, it would be nice for them to put just the slightest touches to make them a little more unique in future games.

SEEMS TO ME, if they insist on using the same team of Toads in every game, it would take very few resources to make each of them at least as distinct as Toadette. pic.twitter.com/xb7ajXgi5Q

To be honest, the Xbox should not have launched until Halo Infinite was ready. But as for the PS5... IDK, just make it timely with the Series X

 

[Deleted member]

I can't sleep right now, so I may as well watch some shows on Disney+ to kill time until I fall asleep (can't use anything else as I forgot the Netflix password and as much as I want to watch more Owl House I can only do so on TV and at 0:37am that is a big no).

May start watching Amphibia to see if I end Up liking It as much as Noipoi.

Unique Toads in a Mario game?!?!?! Outrageous!!!

[KingofPhantoms]

Alright KingofPhantoms i watched episodes 2 and 3 of the owl house.

Honestly? Having a better time than I thought I would.

Eda and King are still the highlights, Hooty is also getting some laughs. And while I’m still not Luz’s biggest fan, I do find myself liking her just a little more than I did before. Amity is kinda just Gary Oak, but I know she goes through some character changes, so maybe I’ll like her more later. Gus is just Darwin from Gumball, and I love him for it. Willow’s alright. The setting continues to be interesting in how macabre it is, didn’t expect to see someone straight up get stabbed. Yeah, I’m having fun.

Didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m looking forward to watching, if not the whole show, at least most of it.

Believe me, it keeps getting better from here.

The show is quite rich with character development, and good at balancing plots and details integral to the overarching storyline with everything else. Tons of fun magic, monster and spooky hijinks in almost every episode, too. It's great.

Please do tell me what you think of other characters as they're introduced, "cause I'm definitely curious lol.

MICHELANGELO
HE'S ONE OF A KIND
AND YOU KNOW JUST WHERE TO FIND HIM WHEN IT'S PARTY TIME

The cartoon community is nuts about that show. I watched an episode, and everyone but the main character seems intriguing.

I just don’t know if I want to invest in a show where I couldn’t care less about the protagonist. Especially when her romance is a big part of the show.

LOVE IS POWER

Glad to hear that you're enjoying it but isn't it a little premature to call it one of your favorites when you've only seen two episodes?

I can say it's one of my favorites from Disney due to watching it all...therefore I bless him with being able to make it his fave

Anyway uhhh

Craig McCracken’s new show Kid Cosmic is out February 2nd and I’ll shoot anyone who doesn’t watch it.

You don’t even have to enjoy it just give Craig the views.

watch all of Owl House first then we got a deal

If you say Smash I will be slightly annoyed for a few seconds!

Reminds me of the names IGN gave the Blue Toad & Yellow Toad in the NSMB series: Yvan & Wolley (Navy & Yellow backwards).

Better than the "official" names Bucken-Berry & Ala-Gold

The Owl House even has pages for Luz and a few episodes on Wikipedia already.

I really hope this show becomes influential. It might be my favorite thing from Disney since Gravity Falls (though GFs will forever maintain it's place as my favorite show of all time).

It took them years to settle on a new design for her but I'm glad that they did. :')

 

[PeridotGX]

I have a PS5, but that's because I never had a PS4 and it made more sense to get a system that will get new games for 7-9 years, then to get a PS4 when it's on it's way out.

I'm stil impressed my parent managed to get one. I was fully expecting to have to wait, and I was fine with that.

So in the midst of talking to you guys, was watching the first arc of Dr Stone Season 1 again. I think I can say that there are some anime that aren't great to watch one new episode a week for six months. That show is definitely an example (also Fire Force and Shield Hero) of not doing that.

Dr Stone is far, far better binge watching though I still think it has pacing issues.

Doubt I'll be dropping anything this season except for I'm a Spider, which has a cool premise and Aoi Yuki but just feels like boring. Hell no I'm not dropping Laid-Back Camp, Re:Zero and Quintuplets on it though.

Anyways think I might go to bed. Got nothing to do tomorrow important wise (or until next month for that matter) so I'll finally start up Gravity Rush. Also, happy four years Gravity Rush 2!

 

[Deleted member]

Gonna tag Noipoi and KingofPhantoms as I just saw the first four episodes of Amphibia and they may be interested about what I thought of the show.

Although I didn't find It as hype as Owl House, I quite liked what I saw a lot.

It reminds me of the first episodes of Adventure Time in tone and comedy, with a lot of comedic moments and a constant subplot which keeps moving throught the episodes (the thing with the three friends of the girl in the case of Amphibia and the Ice King backstory in Adventure Time). It does have a lot of charming moments.

And yeah, just as I liked both Regular Show and Adventure Time but Regular Show was the one I got the most hooked and invested with, I really like what I see on both the Owl House and Amphibia although It is the former the one which caught me the most.

But yeah, I can see why Noipoi likes Amphibia, It has a really neat artstyle and the characters are all cool.

I'm keeping up with Laid-Back Camp and I plan to start up Re:Zero this weekend. Maaaaybe I'll throw Attack on Titan in there, dunno yet. Still need to catch up on the last couple of seasons with that one.
