    Retro Game of the Month January 2018: Metroid (NES) and Super Metroid (SNES)

    I played the first 30 minutes of it today. This description is accurate so far. It's like the soul of Metroid 1 is transplanted into Super Metroid. Not an exact remake, but it does play like the modern update of the original Metroid. It's a good way to get the original Metroid experience...

    I'm interested in Nuclear Throne if it doesn't get optioned by one of the people above me.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Saw it. I assume spoilers are OK at this point, but just in case It was a fun action movie with a bad script, bad character development, bad pacing and the usual truckload of crass merchandising plays the series is practically famous for at this point. I assume a Transformers or Fast &...

    Utnayan Ban Resolution

    This is the common problem among the master rusemen of FoH. They never know when to shut the fuck up and drop it after the lulz have played out.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, that's worrisome. Attaching yourself to a cause and slinging around related buzzwords (incorrectly, too) isn't a good sign. I'm not sure exactly what I'd do, but I think I would remind her that our relationship is more important than the fad cause of the day, and that sort of disrespect...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm addicted to the pillars of light and "ca-CHING!" of lego drops. Don't judge me. But seriously, most of us play for the first 2-4 weeks of a season. Trying out the new builds of the patch and hoarding some loot is fun in those doses.

    Retro Game of the Month January 2018: Metroid (NES) and Super Metroid (SNES)

    Original Metroid would be much better with a mechanism to get full health besides picking up a new E tank. Or at least a way to fill up health faster than 5 points at a time for several hundred HPs. It's a glaring omission in retrospect, and I totally agree it saps your will to keep exploring...

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    I don't even blame them for cashing in on the retro systems (assuming they don't gate the subscription service release). The market for the Classic systems likely includes a large group of people that would ignore the subscription service. I DO blame them for not maximizing their cash-in by...

    Thanks for the advice guys, I'll post my tag for grouping once I get comfortable playing.

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    HA, I guess I kind of deserved that. I actually like the stuff Nintendo makes, so they frustrate me. Either they are making terrible strategic decisions internally, or they have company-wide issues with producing product. It frustrates me more because I work in electronics, so I have a sense of...

    Bought this over the holiday sale. I did the tutorial and played a few bot games to get my bearings. Any tips for how to transition into real play?

    SNES Classic - 9/29 - $80

    My brother and I got RetroPie kits for each other over Christmas. For <$100 each (RPi 3 kit + SD card + controllers), we both have a system better than the NES Classic and SNES Classic combined. For me, setup took about 15 mins. I downloaded a "best of" initial set of ROMs in <30 minutes for...

    Problem is, the guys above him agreed with his approach 100%. Bob Iger isn't going anywhere. So unless this "resignation" is the opening salvo in their transformation, expect more of the same.

    No problem, the holidays get busy. 2018 it is.

    Houston, moving there.

    I could make it if we went on Dec 19th or 20th around 7:30 - 8PM and kept it relatively central. Throwing out some suggestions: Conservatory, Wooster's Garden, Bar Munich, Ginger Man, Hobbit Cafe... I'm open to other places. I'm sure we're spread out over town, going central keeps it reasonable...

    500 is very doable. I'll probably shoot for that.

    Got the credit roll this morning at around 200 moons. Thoroughly enjoyed it. That said: if there is really 800+ moons, this one isn't getting completed.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Exactly. She's a cunt and at least unconsciously used you (or maybe on purpose, who knows), but she's not going to have an epiphany when you tell her that. She's just going to feel more justified in doing what she feels like because now you're being mean. But she "totally fell in love with some...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Really good advice here. Every time you get the idea it would be fun to throw <whatever shitty thing she did> in her face, just remember it costs you money and potentially time with your kids to do it. Not worth it. Don't argue over stupid, easily replaceable shit unless she's trying to claim...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It doesn't have to be. Lawyers are expensive when divorces are messy. A peaceful divorce is an inexpensive one. The parameters for how things are divided are more or less set by marriage law. Keep your cool, have your expectations in line with reality, and be ready to give up a few less...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It's funny that women think gay dudes are on their side. Most still play for team Dude. Yep, @Deebo. Even if you love your wife, she doesn't (truly) love you. If you can stay calm, do. Try not to flip out on her and tell her what you think about her. It only feels good for a moment, and...

    Feels like a nice Galaxy successor so far. My one complaint is the motion controls make it harder to play while I'm taking a dump (you know that's why you bought a Switch).

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    No idea what others thought of them, but I really liked the Galaxy games on the Wii. If you get the chance to play them, you should. I skipped Sunshine, so no opinion there. Mario64 was my point of reference (an all-time fav), and I thought the Galaxies were good successors. Hoping Odyssey...

    I bought the console for BotW and Odyssey, so I pre-ordered Odyssey. Looking forward to it tomorrow. Reviews only mean so much, but across the board near-perfect reviews are encouraging.

    Man, I just rewatched that video and realized it came off a lot meaner than intended. I remembered the scene being funny, but it was pretty insulting. My bad, Noodle.

    Yeah... that happened in the upper deck of a professional football game. Sit your faggot drunk ass down unless everyone else is standing. Don't worry, no one will tell you to sit down when you and the rest of the Beliebers are jammin' out at his show. Nobody in the history of recorded time...

    I remember playing 1-4 player monopoly on a Compaq luggable with a tiny green screen and no hard drive (5.25" floppies only). But feel free to pay $40 for something a potato computer could do 30 years ago.
