#162037 Origin of your username

Posted by SuperBus on 23 January 2013 - 03:27 AM in The Café

SuperBus? It (allegedly) is a greek name. My Old (now very old) World Civilizations teacher gave the entir class Greek names when we were covering Greek civilizations. It was pronounced Superbus (soo -PEAR- boos), but because it looked like Super-Bus, it just stuck. If you google it though, apparently it is some Euro Alternative group, but I am in no way a fan nor o I have any affiliation with them.

#162347 What Games Have You Sunk The Most Hours Into?

Posted by SuperBus on 23 January 2013 - 07:09 PM in General Gaming

I think Final Fantasy Tactics is another title with ungodly hours. Threads of Fate as well.

I was waiting to see who was going to through out the FF Series. Although I am a fan of the Halo series, I would have to say that if I combined every moment of time that i devoted to a FF title (from NES to PS to 360) it would easily add up to 1000+ hours.

#162038 Your first game system?

Posted by SuperBus on 23 January 2013 - 03:32 AM in The Café

Whoa!!! NES was the oldest I saw on here... sheesh... My first was a TI -40 (It might not qualify as a console)... essentially this was a Keyboard with a cartridge slot. When a Game was inserted you could play it... and when there was no cartridge you could write BASIC programming... save it on a cassette tape... exciting stuff!



#162345 Nintendo working on Mario Kart HD and more

Posted by SuperBus on 23 January 2013 - 07:04 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Im really counting on these releases to make great use of the Game Pad as a second screen, like Nintendo Land. Mario Kart HD should have the most potential for that... they better not just use the pad to show a birds eye of the track.



#163275 Nintendo's Nintendo Direct: 01/23/'13 thoughts.

Posted by SuperBus on 26 January 2013 - 06:24 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Nice to meet a veteran gamer!


<_< That's just a nice way to say "old" :P



#162836 Nintendo's Nintendo Direct: 01/23/'13 thoughts.

Posted by SuperBus on 25 January 2013 - 03:15 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I gotta admit, when they showed those first HD pictures of the Zelda game I was like wait wut? They're going this route? Then he said its Wind Waker being remade in HD and I was like OMG!!!


That was the one that got me too. And the new "X" video, too.

I also liked the lineup of $0.30 virtual console games.... Balloon Fight wasone of the first games i owned on my NES!!! Not one of the ones i was looking forward to the most, but what a nice way to start a VC library and introduce my kids to games i plaed when I was their age!



#163274 Your favorite film?

Posted by SuperBus on 26 January 2013 - 06:21 AM in The Café

The Notebook.....not really, i would have to say Lord of the Rings Trilogy.


Don't you go Denying it!!!!!!

If I had to pinpoint recent movies i would say any of Jason Seagals (spelling?) movies ... Sci Fi wise... The new Star Trek movies... I think the casting is SPOT ON for those!!



#162039 Super Bowl is ON!

Posted by SuperBus on 23 January 2013 - 03:37 AM in The Café

So the Superbowl is coming up soon. It was a long hard fought battle and with two mediocre teams going to the final game... my question to you is....

Who is going to have a great commercial?!

I think we can always count on Budweiser and Doritos to have some funny ones.. Any thoughts.

(I guess if you want you can post about how bad the Ravens will lose, and why Ray Lewis isn't in jail)...

#118014 New Member - First Time "Launch" Console Buyer

Posted by SuperBus on 16 October 2012 - 12:19 AM in Introduction Central

Hey there Forum Community,

Thanks for being here! It's been a while since I've been an active member of a forum community, and it looks like I'm going to be a Wii-U owner within' one month of launch. Thought it would be a good idea to get involved in a gamer community with like interests that may experience the same trials I'll go through, good and bad, once I got the console.

I'm a dad of 3 (11 y/o, 7 y/o, 6 y/o) who will all probably love the new console as well, but the downside for me getting deeply involved in it will wait until Christmas, since it is a gift for them <sigh>.

Looking forward to reading and posting!

#163272 new wii user

Posted by SuperBus on 26 January 2013 - 06:16 AM in Introduction Central

Welcome to the boards! Did you play Arkahm on another system before wii-u? I have it for 360, and was just wondering if it might be worth a try on the wii u plaform.



#163271 Hello

Posted by SuperBus on 26 January 2013 - 06:15 AM in Introduction Central

I don't think you'll be disappointed in this system... if you've only started to get caught up, be sure to check out the latest nintendo direct video. Lots of promising things in the future. So far I like this board (if you can just look past the ponies...)

#163277 My rant AKA why I hate some retailers (skylanders)

Posted by SuperBus on 26 January 2013 - 06:30 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Frustration =
Trying to find skylanders that were recently released for my kids b-day only to find out that they were gone 20 min after the store opened.

But.. surprise surprise... I can by them on ebay or c-list for 5x the retail amount...

Okay, truthfully I would've been shocked if the Wave 3 skylanders would have been there, but this has always been a frustration of mine, not just Skylanders though... Just haven't had anywhere to whine about it... so thanks!!!!
