    Anyway, I take it no-one here is actually interested in playing Mario Kart 7 next week? Because so far, it only seems to be DCubed and me who are actually up for that?

    I would be but I don’t have my 3DS with me as it’s been lent to the girlfriend.

    Yo! Guys! (@S.C.G, @BowserBasher, @Glen-i)  If we're gonna be playing MP3 this week, can we make it happen on Thursday or Saturday? I'm working this Friday.

    If it absolutely has to be Friday though, it'll have to be from around 21:30 onwards.

    Saturday or Friday would be better for me as I don’t have to be up early the next day. So I’m good with those. Thursday after MK can mean it may go on a bit later than I would like. 


  3. I guess I’m in the minority as someone that thinks it’s essential to them. Maybe it’s because I have kept all my old Nintendo consoles that it doesn’t bother me too much if there isn’t. It’s a nice feature to have but I think the constant change in the media that Nintendo uses makes it a little harder. But not impossible obviously. I mean they managed to make the Wii compatible with GC disks and they were two different sizes. 
    To me the important part is that I should be able to easily access digital games Ive bought, mainly those that were only digital games. I have a few games that I bought on sale that I should be able to keep whatever the next console is. And this of course doesn’t even touch on VC NSO stuff. 
     

    So to me, whilst it’s a welcome feature it wouldn’t be a deciding one for me. 


  4. So far I've watched the first two episodes and pretty much do agree with what @Julius mentioned about them.

    Sets and costumes are amazing and spot on for costumes. So far the actors have proven to be the right, or best choices for the roles. It's great to see that they are still treating Aang as he is a child too, there's moments where you can clearly see that, he is 12 after all.

    It does seem to me that condensing the episodes like this has meant we have lost something.

    Spoiler

    And the part on Kyoshi seems to have shown that the most. It just seems like its all condensed into what feel like a few hours of timeshare. I'm sure in the original animated show is was a lot longer. And the whole reversal of roles for Sokka and Suki, it just didn't convey the relationship that was/is to come. (if it does in this one) the fact that the whole part of Sokka dressing up as one of the female warriors to train with them is totally removed and that was a big part of Sokka's arc in learning the ways of them and respecting the females of the warriors. The fact that in the animated show, no males were allowed to train with them, yet in this one Suki just helps Sokka train with no resistance feels wrong.

    I did enjoy the way the show started though as it was great to see that time in the history played out like that and not just done as a flash back or just the opening narrative from the show. We know the Fire Nation attacked, show us!

    So far I'm enjoying it, it's a decent adaptation so far.

    Strangely, though, it seems that there is a piece missing. That also happened with Bowser.

    Sounds unlucky. All the sets I’ve bought I’ve only had one piece that’s been missing (though in my case it had been a different piece put in). Luckily Lego are amazing at sending out replacement parts, which I’m sure you must know. Just let them know and they will send out any missing part. 


  6. Some very fun matches tonight. At one point Samus was three for three then it went downhill. 
    Last week I don’t think I won a single match, this week I have a good share of victories. That’s why I love the way our games are played. Anyone can win any match. (Unless it’s Samus, cause Samus always wins (almost)),

    I'm trying not to read any reviews or reactions online (at least until i've finished it), but dear god some of the people on Reddit are unhinged. It's not a shot-for-shot remake of the cartoon and is therefore absolute garbage.

    You just can’t please people. And I bet that if it was a shot-for-shot remake, they’d moan about why did they make it like than when we have the cartoon. They should have tried something different. 
    I haven’t started it yet but think I will be doing so next week. I heard the episodes were an hour long each.?

  8. A few games interest me there, Epic Micky, South Park Snowday, Monkey Ball I'll be keeping an eye on hoping they are good. But damn, new Endless Ocean is possibly the must have for me there. I loved the original on the Wii and it seems like this could be just as lovely as that one. Plus a huge number of people can play together online, imagine huge NE underwater get together. 

    Oh and Blast Corps! I may be off to play that now. They said they were available now.


  9. I think Gen 2 I might have picked Cindaquil. So long ago now I can’t remember but he does seem to be the one I remember. But yeah after that I don’t even think I can name any. Though going by my Pokémon Go knowledge I think there’s a piplup/puplip or something. I just ended up calling him Plipplop. Was Chespin one? And then the grass…oh it’s in Smash, chucks the leaves,  hold on I know this one 😂 Skivy (but probably spelled correctly) out of those I like Plipplop 😂 

    Should I take this moment to apologise to all the Pokémon fans I’ve just upset with the names 😂

    We'd get along well, I'd say.

    When the guy that made the game plays the same way as you do, then that means we are doing something right. 

    I get there is a market for the purists, the 1v1 no items on the flattest stage and fair play to them, let them enjoy it that way. But to me Smash is all about the utter chaos and hilarity of chasing after the pokeball or assist trophy, avoiding the F-Zero machines as they zoom towards you on track, Toon Linking because the bridge breaks when you land on it, avoiding bees, and the many other moments that make us laugh on VC.

    Marth's ridiculous Smash Ball version of his Final Smash strikes again! Stamina Mode is just a suggestion.

    Didn't deserve that second last match, still laughed my head off!

    That was the closest I got to a win tonight and you took it away from me. 1.6% was it? I hope you're happy.

    To be fair, I imagine it also helps now that you have other people there in voice chat to laugh along with, and laugh at when misfortune inevitably falls on them.

    But I do agree that if a game is making you angry, you need to take a break. So you're both right?

    I think it really does. I think it helps that it feels more like you are playing with others even more so when you can chat along too. The banter and laughter means that everyone is in on it. Plus I know that I’m not the only one that gets screwed by the game cause within a few minutes we are all laughing at someone else getting suddenly bombed. 
    And yeah I do agree that if a game is making you angry, then best take a break from it. Because it’ll just make you feel worse when more stuff goes wrong.

    Just had an absolute nightmare in that race, I'd had enough. If I'm not having fun playing, I'm off.

     

    Thats fair, I used to get like that when we did this as the league. Just got so angry and it wasn't fun at times cause I felt I got robbed of a better place. Since we now just do this for fun Im more relaxed and don't care as much if I get booted from first to 4th when I was about to cross the line for the win, 😂 Yes it's annoying as hell, but there's nothing at stake so I just pass it off as "that's Mario Kart".

  14. Lots of new trailers released cause of the Super Bowl (I’m assuming) but this is the one I’m looking forward too. 
     

    I love the show and have been waiting for this for ages. Not sure how many others here are too.
