Yeah, it'll probably be even more "perpetual" than Smash or Animal Crossing, since elements won't ever drop and (due to the nature of the game) the graphics will probably remain the same. I also hadn't thought about it, but the idea of multiplayer seems logical, given the Switch's primary gimmick. Being able to design…

What did 2016 mean to me for gaming? I think that it was honestly a move towards settling down a bit. Maybe it was just the fact that Nintendo didn't really release that many games this year in the first place, but I still feel like I passed on things, just because I'm realizing that I don't have the time or energy to…

I'm curious if they'll bring Mario Maker to Switch. Being able to have the full online-functionality of the Wii U version would be cool.

Passing on Skyward Sword for the Metroid Prime Trilogy is actually kind of a good choice, especially if you already own the latter. I love Skyward Sword, but Metroid Prime is just so dang good. I personally love the motion controls in it, though. At this point, I think the idea of playing a shooter with standard…

Yeah, my team has a lot of problems. My Crabrawler actually managed to rip his way through all the regular Ghosts (he has a Dark-type move), but then both the Mimikyu and its helper seem to be faster than anyone in my crew. Gonna change my strat this time, though, and start off with my Lycanroc, who should be able to…

Yeah, but I do have hope for the Switch. Splatoon already has a crazy large install base (I think over half of Wii U owners have it? That's kind of insane), and it's actually still selling in Japan. At this point, the Switch could just have Splatoon and Breath of the Wild, and I would be happy.

I like the turnaround in this scene, where both realize right at the end how they've changed sides. Frank called Carl seemingly to torment him (both of them probably believe it), but he ends up the one tormented and Carl (somewhat) victorious. The movie as a whole was a fun cat-and-mouse game, where both sides would…

More Pokemon Sun and Splatoon for me, as well as (maybe) some League of Legends, Paper Mario Color Splash, and Bayonetta 2. I just got my Decidueye in Pokemon, and I am currently getting my butt handed to me by the Ghost Totem fight. If I can just get off Decidueye's Z-Move, then that should destroy it, but so far it…

For revealing the pictures/captions (the highlight at the end), we elected to go in reverse order this time, so we showed the picture of my parents and then the caption. It took a few seconds where the whole room clearly was trying to figure it out, but then everyone seemed to get it collectively. It was our way of…

I've wanted to play a character like that; someone who has bad or only average stats in something that they just don't realize they have bad or average stats in. Low wisdom seems like a must (since otherwise they'd realize that they have low stats), and then have average Charisma, never invest points in Diplomacy…

Nope, we're having the first grandkid. I'm #2 of the siblings and the only one who's married. Some of them aren't even out of high school!

Looking forward to your review of Majora's Mask. It's still the first game that I think of if asked "what is the best game of all time?" or "what is your favorite game?", despite the fact that its controls feel a bit clunky nowadays. Honestly, I don't think I've gotten through a play-through in a bit, just because the…

It's going to be continuing on with Pokemon Sun and Splatoon. I just arrived at the third island in Pokemon. My current lineup is Dartrix, Oricorio (yellow), Lycanroc, Crabrawler, Salandit (male, sadly, but I named it after my lizard-folk D&D character, so he's cool), and Wishiwashi. Wishiwashi (which I named…

I might end up getting a 5th edition book at some point just to explore more potential. Right now, our group is using a purely homebrew system; combat is almost identical to 3.5, but actual character creation and leveling is absolutely not the same. But our ideas are still very much based off of 3.5, with a little bit…

I have some special affection for Kobolds as well. They're just easy enough of enemies to have early encounters that feature lots of enemies, and they also are such mischievous and nasty creatures that you can almost certainly guarantee a fight. There's going to be no negotiating for a bunch of level 1 characters and…

Yeah, the Sandship is possibly the best dungeon in the whole game. That or Lanayru Mining Facility. Basically, the desert dungeons are the best. The only downside to the Sandship is that the boss fight is possibly the weakest in the game. The only really cool part about it is that it starts off with that escape from…

I keep getting up to A- and sometimes to A. And I will fully admit that sometimes I'm not good enough to carry myself out. But other times…team. I put two Squid Beak-ons at this one very important exit point. I put two so that, if you don't use Beak-ons and can't replace them, you can even go there. So, why…why…why…

I named mine "Mahu". I debated a lot of names, but I thought that sounded Hawaiian, and I tend to name things in RPGs "Mah ___". My character, for example, is Mah Boy. Every nameable character I play tends to be Mah Boy or Maboi (or Mah Girl), based off of the CD-i Zelda cutscenes. So, I figured that my little hoot…

Berry piles. They sometimes will attack you when you go to gather the berries.

Yeah, you're hitting the endgame of Metroid Prime. As I recall, Omega Pirate is the last big boss before backtracking everywhere.
