The Albraskan

Okay I’m gonna straight out ask, why does everyone on the internet call him Minecraft Steve over Steve or Steve from Minecraft? I don’t get why it’s bothering me so much, but it’s getting annoying hearing all the YouTubers call him Minecraft Steve. I mean would you call Mario “Super Mario Mario”, or Samus ”Metroid Samus” or something dumb like that? I guess I can get that he keeps gettting called Minecraft Steve because most people who played Minecraft wouldn’t have known Steve and Alex were the default names of the male and female skins in Minecraft. But saying Minecraft before their names all the time is already getting annoying. Sorry but but I really had to complain about that.

If there’s one good thing to take from Steve being revealed, it’s that 3rd party characters are still on the table. I’m not trying to say that more Nintendo characters for dlc would be bad, but I kinda feel cheated to have a Nintendo character take up a dlc spot when they could have been in the base roster or something, (unless that character was introduced after Smash Ultimate launched I guess). Guess it doesn’t help that most of Smash Bros dlc fighters were 3rd party so far. Steve I doesn’t but me, and from the trailer he doesn’t look too interesting gameplay wise, but at least my kid brother will hopefully be happy. I’m not sure if he’s going to like Steve’s play style in Smash, especially since my little brother still doesn’t understand recovering back to the stage with up special moves.

Yeah I should have actually kept a better eye on their fine print. I was late by over a week so no codes. I’m gonna follow this topic to get a heads up for information about the other pins for the Mario 35th.

Wait so the pins have been sold out for how long now? I would have guessed that the credit for participating in the MKT event didn’t show up until the 29th, that the pins would be able to be redeemed until then? Leave it to me to assume that Nintendo would have handled this well.

So I don’t think I’ve mentioned this, but if I have here I’ll just say it again. So outside the micro transactions and the fact this mobile game has more content than Mario Kart 8 DLX, Is have to say my biggest problem with this “game” is it not letting me play the damn thing. This problem is most likely because I’m still on an iPhone 6+ that’s not at the latest(or final) update because I usually hear that most updates for the iPhones apple puts up screw things up somehow. So maybe that’s the reason why my game crashes so damn often. But when I do get lucky enough to have the race start, I swear that most of the times I get first, the game will crash before I get to the results screen. What sucks about that is you won’t get the tour stars for your race, and you’ll lose experience because the game either counts it as quitting or getting last place for some reason. I think it’s mostly on the tracks that have too much going on and are too long in general. I guess in general is is if I want to play this game anymore, I’ll probably have to get a newer phone. So until then i guess I’ll have to stop playing the game again. Also thank you @DranSeasona for the friend request, you and someone else got me the one friend registration challenge complete, and it finished off a challenge card. I’m just sorry my game has had problems witch hinders my ability to play MKT. It might be a good thing ironically.

I hope whenever they release a GotY or Complete edition of Doom Eternal, that they end up putting the cosmetic collection sets that are/were available only through a Twitch Prime membership. I’ve linked up my Twitch Prime with Doom Eternal, but I just think the cosmetics should have been available outside the Twitch Prime subscription.

Because MKT is free to play, so they got to make money through trying to sell the rubies for players to try and get cool looking characters/costumes/karts that contain score boosts along with a monthly subscription that unlocks more stuff. Meanwhile MK8DLX was just a port of MK8, but with proper battle arenas, all the dlc from the original MK8, plus inklings and an unlockable Gold Mario skin for Metal Mario. I swear if a lot of the assets from MKT don’t get used for the next Mario Kart, I’m going to be disappointed. Especially since we’ve been stuck with Mario Kart 8 since 2014.

Looking through the replies to that tweet, the current tournament is apparently sponsored or co-hosted by some Japanese advertising agency. So that might explain why we haven’t seen that extra online menu?

I keep forgetting LEGO Super Mario is a thing that’s available now. I went to Target today and saw quite a few of the expansion kits and some of the suits for LEGO Mario, but not the starter kit with Mario himself. Guess that’s a good sign that it’s popular for the start?

Yeah, 343i seems to chase trends other shooters do. Like with the call in a care package point system in Halo 4’s multiplayer. Then Halo 5 Guardians having more mobility options, that you could follow up with shoulder charges like in Destiny. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if the free multiplayer was a battle royale style game mode. Ill still be a bit optimistic for the game though, since it sorta looks like a returning to its roots.

Apparently Hasbro revealed a limited edition Back to the Future x Transformers Autobot (figure?) named Gigawatt. If you don’t mind IGN, you can get a look of Gigawatt and some other info through this link. https://www.ign.com/articles/hasbro-reveals-limited-edition-back-to-the-future-x-transformers-character-gigawatt Pretty great idea idea to have an Autobot based off the Delorean from Back to the Future.

I remember hearing about this a while back. I found it funny when the developers of the Cuphead game explained that if they were to make the show, it would never be finished. So that’s why they got another animation studio to do it. From what I saw of the preview it seems solid, but Netflix better not screw this up.

Does anyone know if you can time travel to participate in events like the bug-off? Or do they work like holiday events? I wasn’t able to play today, and I haven’t been playing for almost a week.

Honestly I’ll have to rewatch Princess and the Frog. I remember it was real good though. One of Disney’s last major traditional 2D animations as well. Plus PatF setting wise makes a perfect fitting to be between Critter Country and New Orleans Square in Disneyland than Moana would. I think for me the new re-theming is going to be weird and a bit of taking use to, but it’ll work out.

R.I.P. Brier Bear, Brier Fox, Brier Rabbit, Zippidy-do-Da, the Laughin’ Place and possibly the animatronic characters from Disney’s America Sings. Splash Mountain in Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is being re-themed into Disney’s Princess and the Frog to cut ties with Walt Disney’s Song of the South. I don’t know if the imagineers can even think of anything as catchy as Zippidey-Do-Da. Theses are some chasing times. Eh, it’ll be fine.
