What would you tell someone who might just get a Wii U instead for Zelda?
How much are games like Arms and Snipperclips?
Do you think the Switch will have enough battery life on the go, and do you see yourself playing it mostly that way or primarily at home?
How awkward does it get having to stare into the other player's sould instead of the screen during things like cow milking minigames?
Oh, and I loved Street Sk8er! The fact the CD would play in CD players was cool. Favorite song from that one was "All My Friends Are Metalheads" by Less than Jake.
Reply to this podcast. Chrono Cross and top 3 cancelled games to come in another comment. (I promise, no essay this time).
Still serious about maybe having Patrick skype into my Intro Social Media class about his experience as a brand ambassador.
Console Wars:
To answer your questions, Pat:
Yup, I meant to say Sunshine>64 for me. The first N64 game I played or was aware of was SF64 (got my N64 in '97), so I was never wowed by Mario 64. I'm not going to argue about objective quality necessarily, though I have played both recently and still prefer Sunshine, but Mario 64 doesn't have the same "wow" or nostalgia factor for me it did for others.
And no, GCN wasn't popular because of me at my school. Trust me, I did not have that kind of social pull or power. Actually, I think Ray (non-nerd) did mention getting a GCN because of how much I talked about it, so maybe? He also mentioned he didn't like Metroid Prime which a lot of us didn't at the time, to be honest. The gameplay wasn't something we were interested in or used to at age 12. I love it now, but I preferred Fusion then.
And Julian is correct, the XBOX controller being bulky and the GCN's being just right for our tiny little hands was a big reason we didn't like XBOX.
Chrono Cross:
I forgot I chose THPS2 for 2000, but tbh it was mainly because I played nothing else of not that year besides Spider-Man, which would have been my favorite, but I mostly played it on N64. I only saw the PSX version listen on Wikipedia.
Consumption Junction:
I haven't been to Best Buy in a while either. Hmm... still sad Hastings is gone, so now the ONLY entertainment options in Nacogdoches for books, movies, anything are GameStop, Game X Change, the Carmike 6, the bookstore downtown (not sure how that's doing), and ... Wal Mart. So not terrible, but none of those are really close to each other and I never really go to the bookstore.
The flying pigs of Tera sound awesome. but I don't like MMOs. And is mount referring to an in-game saddle? To hell with even a penny for that if that's the case.
I'm with Patrick as far as For Honor. I thought the combat was really simplistic and rock paper scissorsy when I played the beta.
I don't finish the challenges I can't find or anything not listed on the map, I just like having the story filled in via documents and relics as I go along. I could leave the "only there as fetch quest" stuff like caches alone for now though. I probably will stop trying to get this stupid document until later, because it's making the game less fun. Gonna try again today and then let it go if I don't get it. Now I know how my students feel when they see they got a 98% on a project ...
If that's the case, I'm somewhat surprised you didn't like Death Magnetic. I thought it had a similar sound.
I've thought about HoC and Daredevil as well, for special features. Maybe Netflix will eventually have special features as premium content.
Pretty much.
Is Carolla still #1?
I never vote straight ticket down ballot and have only voted for a Democrat and third party president in the two presidential elections I voted in. I was very close to voting for McCain until Palin showed up and very close to voting for Romney before finding out he also was in favor of the NDAA. Unfortunately, I was unable to vote last year due to complications regarding me getting out of jury duty and living in a different city than the jury duty. I plan to vote in the midterms, since I almost never miss an election. Part of it was expecting Texas to go to Trump regardless of my vote, and I wasn't excited about Clinton, so while I still would have voted had I been able to, I stayed home.
Well, you're in Cali, so I bet they are too. Dallas's Magnolia Theater probably has them too. I have tastes more similar to the Academy than mainstream sometimes (favorite movie is Cinderella Man), others not so much (second favorite is Chasing Amy). I seem to dig movies with girly sounding titles. lol
I used to give up stuff like TV and chocolate (popular ones) under the assumption it was only meant to last 30 days. When my dad mentioned he kicked a coffee habit cold turkey and never did it again, I started looking at Lent differently. Now he's trying to get his 10,000 steps in every day and I'm hoping to get rid of gossip for good and use swear words more scarcely for long periods. I might have to think up a positive addition as opposed to just cutting bad habits. After all, they say you need to replace every bad habit with five good ones.
Uuuuugh, why do assholes ruin everything for good people?
And thanks, I was excited!
Not like you spoiled anything plotwise, it's all good. Now I know it's coming. I'll see if I can identify it once I get around to it.
I probably would have finished the storyline a long time ago if I wasn't trying to 100% every area while I go.
I always had my music way too loud, in headphones, and X-bass turned on when listening to my Westinghouse portable CD player in the early 2000s.
I liked Death Magnetic, didn't mind St. Anger, Load/Reload as much as others, and I like the hook at least for Moth Into the Flame (newest single off their new album). I'll probably buy more Slipknot stuff before I buy that from them though. I have all their "normal" studio records up to this point and I've always wanted Garage Inc. Never touching LULU though. I'm not the table ...
Do you often buy physical copies of stuff available on Netflix? I have a grasp on how Netflix works, but given that I don't know if the license agreements mean much money for the movie distributors themselves, I've been wondering what they really get out of it lately. It would have to be either big money licenses (probably most of those are going to Disney/Marvel stuff on Netflix, everyone else is just happy to get their movie out there) or hoping someone buys the DVD/Blu Ray once they've seen it on Netflix and it;s not on there any more/they want the special features.
I have not listened to the ACE podcast for some time.
Kimmel definitely had a couple Trump digs (mostly related to Meryl Streep and Twitter) and there was that Iranian movie speech, but I didn't think it was as bad as it could have been politically. Then again, I'm on the Libertarian Left on the political compass and a Solid Liberal slightly left of center according to a Pew quiz, so maybe I just don't notice/mind as much as, say, the rest of my immediate and extended family. lol
But hey, they gave some "fun" movies love. Zootopia and Suicide Squad have Oscars and Arrival looks like a decent sci-fi flick. I'll be honest though, I have seen almost none of the nominess. Part of that was most of them never screened in Nac, and some never even came to Lufkin.
