Y'all! I've been playing this game since after work and it's pretty awesome. That's not the best part. I totally had all intentions of just getting the amiibo and the standard edition and being good with it. After all, I missed out on the preorder window for the collector's edition and surely none would be left for just walk-in buys. I was wrong. Walked up in Target and requested the game and the clerk asked if I wanted the Collector's Edition or the standard? Me, being a bit shocked, asked what was in the Collector's Edition. I already knew what was in there, I just needed the extra time to process the good fortune I stumbled onto. All that said, I got the Collector's Edition!! ^ _ ^

Good battles earlier! I'm glad I got a Switch OLED for my birthday, because my launch Switch overheated and had to use the OLED to continue playing. Hopefully, my save data for the game is good. I'm not sure how back the cloud saving goes yet.

Got a replacement TV from a co-worker that was moving and needed to get rid of their TV, so I'll be online to race/battle this week. And I will be changing it to battle before we start, no worries.

Good games @TKrazyO @TheBarkinHyena @purple_beard! That was a lot of fun. Of course we go and win a squad show when PB isn't there. Sorry, PB. *Way to go out with a bag by winning the final show of the night! \(^o^)/

JK

I'll see you guys tonight!

A FUCKING TREE, JUST KILL ME TO DEATH!

Here's the full stream. I'll edit it down eventually:

I'll post the video in the party night topic tomorrow but as for here, @alienboyva @purple_beard @TheBarkinHyena: I'll ask sometime tonight during Mario Kart if anyone would like to play tomorrow.

Random non-spoiler thoughts: Link humming old Zelda tunes when cooking is fantastic. I actually watch the animation most of the time. Ascension and Hylian Pinecones help so much with the climbing drag of BotW. Sorting materials by Type/Fuse Power/Most Used is a MASSIVE help. The Recipe system for remaking the same dishes you've done before is fantastic. Matt Mercer did a phenomenal job. Revisiting old memorable spots from BotW is worth it like 95% of the time. The Stables carrying over your registered horses from your BotW file was a great addition. Speaking of Stables, I feel they are far more lively/important this time each with at least 4 "quests" The "Let's Rebuild Hyrule" supply stations was a wonderfully creative way to randomly put building supplies around the map. The story gave new life and changes to the existing map, making exploring it all over again feel fresh.

I'm still in awe of just how much they ADDED to this game. Like it has all of BotW in it (pretty much), plus they took BotW's amiibo and DLC outfits and added them in to main game. Plus adding the Sky, the Depths, the Well and Cave systems, more Shrines than BotW had, more NPC interactions, more materials, more everything. Utterly incredible.

Guardians 3… one of the best movies this year. I wasn’t sure of Phase 5…. But Guardians 3 is somewhere in the right direction. It’s a toss up if I like this or the second one more. Both have good comedy and good actions scenes and drama… and solid casts.

It is absolutely wild the complete transformation Zelda has seen this generation. Breath of the Wild was likely the first time that Zelda as an IP became an evergreen selling title. But to follow up with Tears of the Kingdom basically doing a repeat of the initial performance of Scarlet/Violet after 6+ years of Switch being on the market is nuts and amazing to see. Just cool to see how far things have come and it's so well deserved.

@Tyranogre UMMMMMMMM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.............. So, like, something is about to happen in Fire Emblem Heroes................ and if you are ready for your wallet to die in literally the most complete way imaginable, like, go ahead and click below. But otherwise, stay far, far away and block out all news about this game for the rest of forever and live in peace with all the Tikis you have collected thus far in your days on this planet. You have been personally warned.

Aggretsuko is genius. It’s like a cross between Hello Kitty and The Office.

Had an encounter with the Floormasters ran for my dear life.

I can.... you want to? Do the Zelda character/stage theme still? 10-12? That said, I don't mind putting time in on TotK either. Just got to switch out the carts.

Heck yeah! I'm always ready for adventure playing with you... except for the times when I'm not. I'm up for playing if you are.

If anyone needs a map here is one. https://www.zeldadungeon.net/tears-of-the-kingdom-interactive-map/?l=Surface&z=3&x=-900&y=-750

My store ended up getting CEs for Tears of the Kingdom and had some left to pre-order, so I secured a CE a day before the game's release. I'm going to buy some food before heading home tomorrow and pretty much try to be all in this weekend with the game.

Even though I have a feeling there might not be a Mario Kart night because of Zelda TotK coming out tonight; I’m just letting you guys know I might not make it tonight since I’ve got family staying overnight. So you guys have fun with Mario Kart or Zelda.

Oh hey TotK is out already here in NZ. Hype!

'main draws' don't really matter much to me other than bnha which i follow with not much fanfare, but the fact alone that fushigi yugi, nana, and anything by arina tanemura are on there are enough for me really consistent updates and translations for frieren and bnha are worth the few bucks a month to me already i think @_@

still thinkin bout how fuckin cool the original trailer was

I did some cleaning around the vents, which gave me a 2 hour session later that evening, but my plan to replace the cooling fan failed when one of the screws was shredded. My birthday is coming up and my family is planning on getting me an OLED Switch, so I'll replace my launch model as my main with that. 1-2 hour sessions aren't that bad generally, but Tears of the Kingdom, like a Xenoblade game, is a game I would like to run longer sessions with.

@TKrazyO You're psychic! Crazy that you made a Pink Gold Peach joke hours before the races.

Wow, I didn't know I accidentally reference something like. Hilarious on two fronts.

Where's that clip... https://www.twitch.tv/projared/clip/ToughObedientSalamanderHotPokket If you don't get the joke, go to 8:40 there.

It's a Pink Gold Peach joke. It's making fun of how Nintendo gives us recolored "metal" characters as new characters.

Finally getting Home support on the 24th Also getting HA starters for the Paldean trio Already have a Protean Sprigatito, but will be nice to have the other 2 at least …………… I just need to renew my Home subscription first….

Here's the video:

They're already building giant statues with flamethrowers for dicks.

Got fuse finally and went spelunking.... it's interesting. Zs time.

Nearly forgot to pick up my TotK amiibo from Best Buy store. Luckily sis asked me to get some pee pads for the dogs so Target and Best Buy were close to each other.

Pardon my busy-ass for not responding right away. Looking through it again, there's a lot more shoujo than I thought. After awhile I just assumed it was Shonen Sunday shit. ----------- Anyway, caved and got Zelda TotK. I really dig Link's new look. By that I mean fuck he's hot. No idea what to expect since I barely kept up with pre-release info at all, official or otherwise. Only an hour in so still on floating tutorial island.

I'm up for it until you decide to want to explore the Kingdom. It can end at around 12.

…… Well, that happened Shows what happens after when i don’t play a game for quite awhile *facedesk*

About that, you are welcome to play with randoms online with a Zelda theme if anyone want to play Smash Saturday night or not at all. For me, I would be lying if I said I'll be playing Smash this Saturday, let alone Smashdown. Might as well postpone Smashdown to next month. (this will be month 2 it has been postpone) I'll make up the Smashdown next month with something special, similar to what I wanted to make for that April fools one. So anyone, guys do what you want Saturday night, that's all from me.

Just got the Switch version of Oregon Trail. It finally came down to $15. Was so happy to see it.

Well... here's the video! @DLurkster @alienboyva @Eliwood8 I included as many matches from our Friday session as possible that I thought were the good ones. I also played on Sunday so I got some Tricolor in there too. I actually thought of a good title because of the reference in the thumbnail. "The things I do for love!"

Got my CE paid off, now to wait until release.

Went to my local Gamestop and put $5 on my copy since they wouldn't do pre-orders for the Collector's Edition but the employee said if i am there at midnight i can change to the CE so here's hoping.

Even if he doesn't he can still join us if he wants, since it's free-to-play. Depending on how many people we have, we may need to host two games, because for a party the max is only 4 players and IIRC, the minimum for a Custom Show (private match) is 10 players. If so, we can always rotate after shows/when everyone gets eliminated.

Thank for that, AB. I have to look into that, maybe hopefully tomorrow or Thursday. I knew there would be some stuff to check and sort out app or sync wise. If I get this done and if TotK doesn't come in Friday, I will let you know Friday if I am game for Fall Guys.

Is this an appropriate place to post my Nintendo DS friend code?

Finally beat Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster. … VI, VII, and IX are the top 3 contenders for the best of the FF series.

in other news i've been taking the opportunity to replay botw with the linkle mod, which i was super fucking excited about when it was first being developed way back, but 6 years later i'm only just now remembering it and getting around to it but oh my god it's everything i wanted back then and more! totally redone animation, cute redesigned outfits, completely new voice acting the redesigns look so good!! and i'm dying over how freaking gay everything becomes as a result
