Now this is a burst of nostalgia.

Okay, new PLA question


How the hell am I supposed to keep track of the moon cycles?


It's never in the sky, but there's a handful of things related to it.

I think the map has icons for the phase of the moon. Otherwise you have to keep looking up. Takes about 30 cycles sometimes to get the moon right after resting.

It doesn't, at least from what I've seen. It's always just a crescent shape.

Still trying to beat the Death Fang Robot so I can close Superstars and update MK8. Really wish this boss didn't have so many instant kill attacks

Nintendo ended the strike

I've done every mission in PLA up to Avalugg aside from Manaphy's quest and Spiritomb.


I dunno if every Spiritomb wisp is even available.

 

[CannonStreak]

So which team will you guys be on: Handshakes, Fistbumbs, or Hugs?
I'm leaning toward Fistbumps myself.

From what I watched, LAOP (Live-Action One Piece) did get me interested into either watching the anime or reading the manga so I think the show did its job.

If team Fist Bump wins, I will post the main theme of Sonic Forces, also called Fist Bump.

I still think that song would have worked better as the theme for a Mario/Sonic crossover game

We need Team Fist Bump to lose badly, gang

after going through Rainbow Road Wii, I can officially say…Mario Kart 7 still has the best Rainbow Road, followed by 64 and maybe SNES’s. The Wii one is still a beauty tho

Yeah, they all are at that point, that's the last major area. But use a guide because if you don't it's gonna be hell.

It was all fun and games until I remembered the Sally Acorn doll with real human bones in it.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

By the way, this time the Nintendo Game of the Week is...

 

[TMNTSSB4]

the credits for MK8D finally concluding are beautiful

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I just really love that the final MK8 track is Wii Rainbow Road.

It's probably my favorite track in the entire series. They did it justice.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

why the **** did 1987 April O’Neil decide to do news reporting spirit bombs? And why am I down for it?

Nah. That was a one time thing that happened yesterday that i made a meme about because i recognized it was ridiculous.

What's keeping me up now is the final boss of Trip's Story in Sonic Superstars.

You know, Zelda is my favorite franchise of all time, maybe being tied with Metal Gear, so you would think I would be at least a little excited for a movie. But no. Not in the slightest.

As a Cinematographer myself I always told myself that if a Zelda movie ever got announced I would go above and beyond to ensure I was a part of that movie in whatever way possible but now… sigh

Avi Arad is not an inherently bad producer but his main goal is always to go after big properties, cram them full of merchandisable sets and characters, and use the movie itself to make the real money in toys. It’s what drove Kevin Feige to get away from him as best he could.

We got Wes Ball, the director of the Maze Runner movies, which just aren’t any good at all. Hopefully, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes turns things around for him but we’ll see.

And finally, I can’t believe it, Derek Connelly as writer. The man who gave us the oh so wonderful quote of “Hux realized he had lost the Star Wars” and banger dialogue in movies like the Jurassic World Trilogy and ****ing Monster Trucks.

Please God give this Crew a miracle.

The worries regarding Conneily's work on the Jurassic World Trilogy honestly still just sound like gloom and doom to me, honestly. Up until the last movie, the Jurassic World movies honestly had pretty good scripts (just terrible marketing and misleading advertising for the second film) and the first film of the trilogy is widely and rightfully regarded as a strong return to form for the franchise after the first two Jurassic Park sequels got a much more mixed reception.

Haven't seen Monster Trucks, so I can't attest to that. Rise of Skywalker wasn't awful but was rushed and loaded with wasted potential.

Didn't the Maze Runner films actually get decent reception? I'm surprised by the concerns regarding the director with that in mind.

Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I really feel people are being way too negative about the film already based on other films people aboard the film have worked on when a lot of said films (a lot, not all of them) aren't even remotely bad.

Didn't Derek Connelly write the unproduced Duel of the Fates? I don't think he wrote Rise of Skywalker but got credited because some of Duel of the Fates was recycled for it.

That's where the "Hux realised he lost the Star Wars" line is from though I will say it was just a fun thing they put in as a joke and it was a first draft anyway

Finally! I'm really glad to see that a deal (that is fair and reasonable for the actors guild) had been agreed to end the actors strike.

I'm going to assume a load of films that are due to be released in 2024 will be back in production, actors can get back to promoing their films and casting news can happen.

I just can't see a Pokémon Black/White remake happening without also having Black 2/White 2 or it getting a reboot story.

I started reading My Hero Academia. Currently on Ch. 215 (I think that’s somewhere in Season 5). I understand the hype, and the art is pretty. The only chapter I could say looked really off was the rock band school festival bit, but I feel like that’s because I’m reading the Shonen Jump issue and not the tankobon issue.

It’s pretty good shonen. My favorite character is Kirishima.

After rewatching I have to say…
I could barely tell Fear and Disgust were recast.

For reference, Bill Hader played Fear in 1 while Mindy Kaling played Disgust.

Fear is now Tony Hale while Disgust is now Liza Lapira.

Yesterday, I booted up Starlink: Battle for Atlas and it was telling me that I didn't have any of the DLC downloaded.

Exiting the game and starting it up again fixed the problem.
