Holy shit. I used to be on the old forums, then RPGN and RPA, NS2, and now I just came back (seven years later) to discover this exists. I dunno who is reading on here, and I can't imagine anyone cares, but I made it. My dream was working in VG music, and I actually fucking did it. It feels silly to even come here, but honestly, those old Nintendo forums taught me more about personnel management and efficient communications than any part of my college degree ever did. Those forums WERE my outlets socially and creatively growing up, and they nurtured my passion. Thanks for everything, gang...

hey man murkows made my dark badge super easy!!

Well it was a magikarp raid..........but a raid that got me a 3 perfect iv magikarp!!

Forgive me if this old, but I only just came across it today. Adorable Pokemon as Zelda characters: Full album: https://imgur.com/gallery/wUpoF --- Shall we round out a few more characters? Pansear, Pansage, and Panpour as Din, Farore, and Nayru respectively.

I didn't realize someone could be so wrong

Bruh are you 12?

I think the issue in today's media environment is that anyone with a YT channel, blog, website, ect.. can be a "media" outlet for a games review versus a "traditional news/media" outlet who has real journalists so to speak covering stuff. Its also a hot takes/reactions/ reactions to reactions/click bait online media market now so you have to do what you have to do to get those clicks.

Been carrying googly eyes around with me in my backpack for a while now (YOU NEVER KNOW!) and made this at work:

Mornin' wood

Here's the real new loading screen: And the event:

Gen III coming on Halloween!!

Got an interview.

Beat Castlevania IV for the first time! Bless you, save states. XD First game in this series beaten as well.

No excuse to not see more variety.

Just found and caught a Larvitar in my yard. It's not the best, but it works.

To everyone?

I received a MacBook Pro as a graduation gift from high school in 2011. Last night she finally gave up the ghost. Thanks for 6.5 years of solid service.

The large problem facing the Democratic Party are the leaders, especially Schumer et al, who won't stand for more progressive politics. And yes people like Feinstein as well. Definitely need a lot more like Bernie Sanders or Keith Ellison...but it seems the Democratic party still wants to support the centrist candidates, unfortunately.

We break into this NSN telecast for a special news bulletin. Peach: It's baaaaaaack! Starting this coming Sunday, the biggest names in the Nintendo Universe descend on Mushroom World to compete in the 2nd annual Toadstool Sports Spectacular! Daisy: Last years competition was a smashing success, and saw competitors battling it out in the Mushroom World's 4 biggest sports, tennis, golf, kart racing, and party. This year's competition will be even grander, as there will be an even bigger field of competitors, there will be both individual and team competitions, and two more prominent sports, soccer and smash fighting, will be included. Rosalina: As defending champion, I wish good luck to all who seek to take my crown. The road will be long and arduous, but incredible exciting and fun for all. The three princesses proceed to reveal a poster with the competition format. Peach: 320 total competitors will enter the field, 5 players (or managers) each from every team in the NBL's Premier and Championship Leagues. Sorry Reserve League...you're out. Daisy: The first two competitions will involve all 5 players on each team. The first round will be non-elimination, but the second round will see teams eliminated based on total team points earned. Rosalina: Beginning with round 3 the tournament shifts to being an individual competition. It will follow largely the same format as a year ago, with the best performers in each moving on and the losers going home. Do note however that players will still score points for their teams once individual elimination begins. Competition format: 1.Soccer - Oct 21-23 - teams of 5 players will play 3 matches. Matchups will be randomly drawn. Teams will earn 3 points in the team competition for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 for a defeat. A maximum of 9 team points are up for grabs. 2.Tennis - Oct 28-30 - teams will play in 3 matches, matchups randomly drawn. 4 of the team members will play doubles, 1 will play singles. Teams will earn 1 point for each match won. A maximum of 9 team points can be earned. At the conclusion of the tennis round, the 16 worst teams in the point standings will be eliminated, leaving us with 240 players heading into round 3. 3.Golf - Nov 4-6 - in the golf round, the field will be split into three regionals of 80 players each. Day 1 and 2 will be stroke play, and at the end of day 2, the top 20 players at each course will advance to round 4, while the bottom 36 players will be eliminated. The players finishing 21st through 44th on each course will face another player from that group on Day 3 in a match play contest. The 36 winners in match play will join the 60 players already qualified from stoke play in round 4. Teams will earn 3 points for each player that advances out of this round, with players finishing in the top 10 of each regional earning 5 points. 4.Fighting - Nov 11-13 - round 4 takes place at the SSB arenas. As in golf, the field will be split into 3 sections, this time into 3 regionals of 32. Players will be further split down into groups of 4 and will play 3 matches against the other members of their group. After the group stage, the players finishing 1st and 2nd in each group will advance to round 5. Teams will earn 4 team points for a second place group finisher, and 6 points for a group champion. 5.Karting - Nov 18-20 - The 48 remaining competitors will head onto the circuits of Mario Kart. This will follow the same format as last year, with the players following the standard scoring for Mario Kart based on place in each race. The racers will be split into groups of 12, and the top 4 racers in each group after 4 races will qualify for the final round. For team points, any player that advances out of this round will earn 5 team points, with a group champion earning 8 points. 6.Party - Nov 25-27 - The final 16 competitors will take to Mushroom World most notorious and crazy sporting pastime, Mario Party. 4 semifinal matches will be played on 4 board maps, with the winners advancing to the final. A semifinal victory is worth 10 team points, 2nd place 5 points, and 3rd place 3 points. The same point scale will be utilized for the final, which of course will determine the individual champion. Who's going to make history their own? We will soon find out.

I don't drink

Oh good! They've included a button to directly summon Nintendo lawyers! Guess that's why there's no Youtube upload option.

Even if it did only taste like shit the only reason wouldn't be to fit in with the cool kids. Most people don't drink it to fit but to obliterate the pain of life.

someone said to me earlier, very emphatically, that jameson is the best whiskey available i had to restrain myself from simultaneously vomiting and punching them

I can't wait to go to Arvis' barbeque tomorrow.

If you are considered a maverick relative to other members of your party, it should not be dependent on your personal feuds with other politicians. It produces a very inconsistent candidate in anything. The flip-side to that is that his current target is Trump, and considering the republican sheeple majority, any dissenters are effectively welcome. He's on his way out, and it's nice to know that he's helped to stave off certain things--mostly, the health care and ACA repeal bullshit. Between him, Trump's ego, and the establishment's quite-visible incompetence, the republican party might well be on its way to tearing itself asunder, if it hasn't already. Good riddance. The democrats could stand to go as well, but who knows how long that will take?

@fuzzI drafted Merfolk! Unfortunately i failed to wheel combat tricks so my deck is highly mediocre, but oh well.

This was a cute team i saw in arena this morning.

Great Fairy.

I read that interview too, and it's a really good point. However, Nintendo's response to the shortage is what set the tone for this discussion: remember when Reggie also acknowledged the shortage, apologized for it, and then immediately stated there would be no more production? That was a PR disaster, directly disrespecting the fans and making a habit of the Smash amiibo shortages. Nintendo's response came off as, "We know you all want this, but we don't feel like making more. We need to continue our history of catering to scalpers." The NES Mini is back in production now, but the fans will never let go of this. Nintendo's not an American monopoly--they can't get away with doubling down against their consumers. I'd guess a good number of people like me are burnt out and have stopped wanting the product after all the animosity we've associated with it.

I was being super sarcastic, definitely don't want any more murkows compared to anyone else

That can be said about practically all of them.

I was working in the lab, late one night When my eyes beheld an eerie sight For the penis began to- Aaaaaaaaaand I'll stop right there. God I need to find better Halloween material for this meme

Since I don't really play Smash 4 it's fun seeing that part of the community especially. Who's your favorite melee player tho 👀

Nice! I hope they have the discount on PKMN storage and bag space like when gen II launched. I could really use more PKMN storage and bag space, but I've been holding out in hopes.

Also: Did a bunch of raids just now - started off 0/3 but then ended with 2/5. Time to wait for Raikou for me!

AH. FINALLY. I BEAT 150cc SPECIAL CUP WITH FIRST PLACE OVERALL. WITHOUT SAVE STATES (except to practice races, but I beat the cup all the way through without using save states) Done. Fuck Super Mario Kart. I win.

Yay, a week founded by a guy who has no character, except for citizenship. *shots fired* I could go down the list of what he's the opposite of.

Why not talk about the nuances of Baseball and Soccer? There may be Mario Baseball and Soccer games, but my impressions are that since they've not been developed by Camelot before like Tennis and Golf, they're more unique experiences. But you spend zero time talking about that sort of interesting comparison. Can you play all the modes with 4 players like the console games?

Happy Friday the 13th

I bought a PS4 PRO. Bitcoin is up significantly today; decided to splurge a bit.

Ok, so, it's fair to assume the Russians "interfered" in the election in some capacity. Fine. But honestly, Pokemon Go is in the headline here? Are they purposely trying to make themselves sound utterly ridiculous? There are a lot of people, even on the left, who are skeptical that Russia had much of an effect at all on the election even if they did interfere, and CNN felt it relevant to include in the article that a Tumblr page promoted a Pokemon Go contest that apparently no one entered? It's just click-bait nonsense. I hate Trump and think he's a dangerous lunatic and a fucking racist moron as much as the next guy, but this shit isn't helping build a case against him or helping link him with Russia. It makes the entire Trump-Russia narrative sound like tinfoil hat hysteria.

I don't recall this being announced previously, but we now have a date to look forward to for the next FE Cipher livestream, November 3rd! Juri Kimura's been announced as the usual guest, though I suspect we may learn of more at a later date. Series 11 ought to be the main focus of the event, but I'm also thinking we could get more details about the TCG at the next Comiket convention too.

I JUST PULLED A LOLI TIKI AND SHE'S +ATK -HP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I combined the music credits + the screen that usually has Watanabe's name from the Champloo OP for a wallpaper and I'm really feelin it atm
