#292536 Study: Kids are taught to emphasize Personal Achievement over caring for others.

Posted by Portal on 07 July 2014 - 06:02 PM in The Café

Ah, perspectives. Evolution, animals, worth, God's creation, this'll make for a wonderful discussion.



#292613 Currently playing thread

Posted by Portal on 08 July 2014 - 02:29 PM in General Gaming

I beat Kirby's Adventure, A Link Between Worlds(Hero Mode), and The Wind Waker HD, so I guess it's time to update. Now I'm playing through Kirby's Dreamland, more Pushmo World, the new Mutant Mudds levels, and perhaps some A Link to the Past on WiiU.



#292909 The Legend of Korra Book 3 premieres today.

Posted by Portal on 11 July 2014 - 05:12 PM in The Café

Tonight's episodes were so stinking good! Absolutely amazing story progression and fight scenes in the first episode. Second episode built off Season 1's TenzinxLin beautifully, unfortunately bringing another relationship in but it could work, and an amazing finale with Zaheer and Kya fighting it out. I especially loved how they pulled out all the stops, but still had Zaheer "win" without making Kya look bad. Never seen that done so well.



#292916 Xenoblade Writer tweets Smash tease

Posted by Portal on 11 July 2014 - 06:41 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Well, because Palutena is a non judeo-christian god/goddess, and the protagonists of all (non namco garbage) xeno games kill non judeo-christian gods like deity serial killers.

Oh man. I can already see a fan series on YouTube about this. Or even a stupid spin-off game. And honestly, IT SOUNDS AWESOME.



#292979 is it bad to not like your own country

Posted by Portal on 12 July 2014 - 02:58 AM in The Café

Eh, I don't know about disliking my country, but I'm definitely not all that patriotic. However, I have come to appreciate my freedoms a lot more the last year or two. I'll be spending a week in the Dominican Republic in a couple months, so it'll be interesting. Heck, I intend on moving to Singapore once I get through a few years of college.

So SAO2 has started. Was not aware of this. Until now. Will be watching.

Yeah I guess the apples aren't bad. But the McNuggets are.

I NEED them!

...What do you need 3 copies for? Even collecting, two is quite fine.



#293673 Bayoentta 2 vs real locations

Posted by Portal on 18 July 2014 - 01:19 PM in Wii U Games and Software

Holy crap. Game looks absolutely amazing.



#293734 The Legend of Korra Book 3 premieres today.

Posted by Portal on 19 July 2014 - 06:20 AM in The Café

I'm digging this season a lot. It sucks it's going to so damn fast though.

Yeah, the pacing has felt a little off. They just can't match Book 1. Anyway, great episodes. Not my favorites, but pretty great. And of course we can't forget about Meelo. "Look to your left. Look to your right. One of those people won't make it out alive."



#293853 Studio Ghibli Might Quit Making Feature Films

Posted by Portal on 21 July 2014 - 11:00 AM in The Café

Honestly, I still haven't seen any Studio Ghibli movies. However, if they're supposed to be amazing, and from what I can tell, beautifully animated, this is sad.



#294054 The Legend of Korra Book 3 premieres today.

Posted by Portal on 25 July 2014 - 04:40 PM in The Café

I think it's because Nick secretly hates the series. Nevermind can't be that, they have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles airing new episodes at weird horsing times too,.

Well, it's official. Nick has pulled the last five episodes of Book 3 for now. Episode 8 will still air Friday, but that's it. Book 4 is supposed to be completed according to the directors, so I don't fear the show's cancellation, but come on! What keeps happening to these good shows! Everything I've watched the last few years was either cancelled for no reason or it ended beautifully and hasn't gotten a deserved successor. Ugh. Atleast there's still Arrow, The Flash, and StarWars Rebels.

New episode tonight. In terms of animation, this is the BEST Korra episode yet. I remember at the beginning of the season telling my brother during some early fight scenes, "There's no way this will be better than probending." It is. Beautiful animation and choreography, as well as being an overall great episode to boot.



#294265 NES Remix 1 & 2 combo pack for NA

Posted by Portal on 27 July 2014 - 04:30 AM in Wii U Games and Software

So glad I got Game and Wario as my CN reward. Will pick this up. Here's hoping it'll have the same nice boxart Japan got.

Woah! Very impressive! Where do you have them displayed?



#294666 Gaza's Christians and Muslims ironically grow closer in defiance of Israel.

Posted by Portal on 31 July 2014 - 04:09 PM in The Café

What I got so far: Eveyone in America that is of this generation is rainbow, holy crap missiles and mutilated bodies, and we now know 3dude has been through hell and back several times. Missing anything?



#294739 The Legend of Korra Book 3 premieres today.

Posted by Portal on 01 August 2014 - 10:49 AM in The Café

New Korra episode now on Nick.com. Really great episode. Brought in a lot of backstory and tied Seasons 2 and 3 together quite well.



#295418 Etrian Odyssey 2 remake trailer

Posted by Portal on 09 August 2014 - 02:48 PM in General Gaming

Like, I dont even get what the point of making the maps at ALL is.

I know its called ETRIAN oddesy... But I see no point in the map making. I keep trying it, because I remember the island you had to draw a map for in phantom hourglass was really enjoyable. But its just this grid based system, with nothing really interesting in it.

And then the rest of the game is basically a check list of features that are just deal breakers in rpg's for me.

They keep making them, and people enjoy them and get excited for them, so I know there is something there. But I guess its just not for me.

Holy crap. I thought EO would be one of 3dude's favorite game series given how much of an adventure it is. Anyway, I guess I really need to beat EOU now. Any tips to get to the ant queen in the third stratum?



#295543 Robin Williams & Zelda Petition

Posted by Portal on 11 August 2014 - 05:01 PM in The Café

This is really shocking. I'm not particularly familiar with him outside of Nintendo commercials and Zelda Williams, but this is sad.



#295688 Sony's RIME vs Zelda

Posted by Portal on 12 August 2014 - 05:36 PM in General Gaming

No similarities whatsoever for me beyond 3rd person adventure and a style thats not 'grimdark realistic'.

Definately got more of an ico vibe despite the very different art styles.

This. Although I have yet to play Ico, so it gives me a more pure exploration/adventure/beauty vibe. If that makes sense at all. Or I'm describing Ico without knowing it.



#295868 Wii U Horizon where do you stand

Posted by Portal on 14 August 2014 - 08:41 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I've been enjoying my WiiU since the day I got it. Heck, I have a small backlog of games for it. Only thing I dislike is the droughts. It helps with catching up on backlog, but it sucks not hyping up games.



#295935 Bayonetta 2 Screenshots

Posted by Portal on 14 August 2014 - 06:58 PM in Wii U Games and Software

I've said it once and now I'll say it again. This game looks gorgeous! Like, that's all I need to say.



#294759 The Legend of Korra Book 3 premieres today.

Posted by Portal on 15 August 2014 - 01:50 PM in The Café

Sad to say this, but action shows aren't doing so well right now. Just look at the number of action shows Cartoon Network cancelled. :(

I know right!? I find it saddening to look for something on TV and go, "Eh, all the good shows ended years ago." Really want Tron: Uprising to comeback at the very least. I think it's the one action show that has yet to be officially cancelled. Atleast StarWars Rebels is starting in October. Oh, and the new Transformers and Guardians of the Galaxy next year I think. As much as I like finding a good anime, it's no replacement for a good action show on Friday nights. RIP Green Lantern, Young Justice, and The CloneWars. You are greatly missed.

This week's episode is on Nick.com. So it's time for my mini review! Amazing episode! Beautiful animation, great scene with Korra, Iroh, and Zuko, amazing fight scenes, and character development with Kai! The wait for next week's episode is going to be killer!



#296049 Action Comics #1 Hits eBay, Already up to 1.75 MILLION with 8 Days Left To Go

Posted by Portal on 16 August 2014 - 02:07 PM in The Café

Well isn't this exciting.



#296050 Nintendo Has Responded to Robin Williams Petition

Posted by Portal on 16 August 2014 - 02:09 PM in General Gaming

anyway it looks like they just don't want to say if they will or won't.

I'm thinking they will.

Exactly this.



#293693 Anime Discussion

Posted by Portal on 16 August 2014 - 06:38 PM in The Café

My reaction to the first two episodes...

Spoiler

Eh, first episode was solid. Gave some plot points and put Kirito and Asuna together on screen. Second episode showed a nice action scene as well as establishing was is sure to be a main character. I for one am very intrigued by Sinon. The ending showed some of last season's characters working together and then added a jumping on point for next episode. So far, the season has started off pretty well. Will be watching every week.

Finished No Game No Life. SO STINKING GOOD. Anyone know if a season 2 has been announced? That cliffhanger!



#296137 Action Comics #1 Hits eBay, Already up to 1.75 MILLION with 8 Days Left To Go

Posted by Portal on 17 August 2014 - 05:08 PM in The Café

Are you a fan of comics?

You forgot it also began the tradition of DC stepping on their best employees so he can get more money.

Only comic series I've been buying is StarWars: Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir, and that's because I refuse to let TCW die. I'm only interested in this because it's close to $2mil.
