Discussion: Video Games

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 1:29 am

So, I've been playing a lot of a game that is so much awesome, called Shadow Warrior: Classic Redux which is a re-release of an FPS from the 90s called Shadow Warrior from 3-D Realms, another studio came in and remade it to allow it to run on more advanced machines, which is an issue older games have nowadays. I love it, it is just so much fun to me, like, everything is out to kill you, ceiling fans hurt if you jump at them, wasps kill you, Coy Fish are lethal, so you need to be careful where you step because its ALL out to kill you. I think it's just so much fun to play, and it really makes me need to explore for ammo, health packs, armor, secret areas. It's probably one of the most fun FPSs I've played in a LOOOOOOONG while, so I'd say if you're looking for an older form of FPS, Shadow Warrior Classic Redux is worth it

Pokemon was good until global trades. I want a vulpix, but they want every legend under the sun.

So a feature not existing is better than a feature not being worth using?

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 11:02 am

But so many trades exist demanding a level 9 pokemon that you can't get at that level! The only way is to cheat, and then if your just going to get it anyway why not do it yourself?

In case somebody is interested in a Pokemon-trade or a battle: Here's my Friendcode: 2191-7995-2985

(I have Pokemon Y)

Ummm... I got emerald and got the only pokemon that I could want.
So now I'm having trouble getting back to it.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Oct 16, 2013 12:10 am

All the new features and upgrades and fun things to do don't help?

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 12:36 am

I've been glued to my DS screen for days, x and y did so many things right! So much easier to train your pokemon EV values now and lots of stuff to do while you're not battling. (Berry farming is really nice.) Right now i'm trying to get berry mutations going trying every combination along with breeding perfect natured pokemon.

Deposit a high demand pokemon like a haunter or modest mareep and wait a bit (I got a ton of modest mareeps and you can ask for just about anything for it.), some people will trade anything to fill up their pokedex/get competitive natures.

I still can't believe I don't have a second badge yet. On one paw I feel a little frustrated how behind all you guys I am, but on the other, I really like how much there is to do in this game. It's not just gym to gym to gym with little distractions in between like the old games.

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 2:10 pm

I beat Pokemon X yesterday! The ending was AMAZING!! Here's my friend code if anyone wants to battle: 3497-0595-1132

Ahh, don't feel so bad; you're not the only one, haha. I just recently obtained the third badge while almost everyone else I know who owns Pokemon has already beaten the game one or two days ago. Even my own brother is at his eighth gym! >__> Woof... somehow it's saddening... but at the same time I'm truly amazed how the game turned out to be. There's actually a lot of story in between Gyms just like you said, Sleet. Then again... I haven't even gotten that far yet. Anyways, you guys are crazy for being so fast!

Wonder trading is so awesome too.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 6:03 pm

Gotta catch 'em all.
Or none at all.

Kouri · Post by **Kouri** » Thu Oct 17, 2013 10:23 pm

I can't believe I've gone this long without realizing there was a discussion about Pokemon X and Y going on here. I should've known!

I've been taking my time with Pokemon X since the day it came out. I'm just about to take on my fourth gym right now, so I'm not TOO far behind, but I'm sure I'm nowhere near the end. Other than the fact that I don't have a ton of free time to sit down and play, I just feel like taking my time since it feels like the game has so much to offer that I want to savor the experience for as long as I can. Plus, I'm having a hard time trying to concentrate my training to just six pokemon, so I'm juggling about... 11 or so and that definitely eats up some time

I would go ahead and take on the fourth gym now, but I'm waiting on a friend of mine with Y to get his levels more or less caught up to mine so we can finally have a battle.

The funny thing is, I've only seriously played Pokemon Yellow before I did this one. I started Crystal a long time ago, but never got very far... and I dabbled a little with Soul Silver last year which was kinda intriguing, but this game just looked so cool that I had to pick it up. So glad I did!

Post by **Sleet** » Fri Oct 18, 2013 8:14 am

Taking your time is great when there's so much to do. For once there's more to do in this game than to beat it and then fine-tune your party!

Fri Oct 18, 2013 9:06 pm

and there are a few things you can't do until post-game.

I caught Mewtwo. It's pokedex entry says "It's said to have the most savage heart among Pokémon." So of course I named it Fluffy

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Fri Oct 18, 2013 9:08 pm

nice.
Mewtwo is the Garaa of Pokemon.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 5:55 am

I'm not sure, I think Mewtwo is the Sasuke of pokemon, easily led and turns evil then becomes a goody.
I remember my mewtwo on Leaf Green. His attack is higher than his sp attack

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 10:44 am

I just started the Naruto series, so right now, I only know that Sasuke can use the lightning blade, and Garaa has a fox inside him.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 11:00 am

Gaara is the host of Shukaku, the one tailed Tanuki and Sasuke's attack is called Chidori. (thousand birds) Naruto is the foxes host.

Just trying to think of a good tanuki pokemon but linoone is the only thing that comes to mind.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 4:38 pm

So Garaa is a raccoon dog.
Okay, now the rings around the eyes make sense.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 2:42 am

I'm going to be getting Pokemon Y on Christmas so maybe we can get a thread or a PM chat going for friend codes?

Would be great to add everyone.

Sun Oct 20, 2013 3:16 pm

sounds like a good time to revive this topic

Firenze · Post by **Firenze** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 3:51 pm

That definitely sounds like a good idea. It's such a shame that I've been using my brother's 3DS to play Pokemon X since I don't have one of my own. Awkward. ^^'

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Sun Oct 20, 2013 6:37 pm

Why is Pokemon breeding so complicated?

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 5:07 pm

Because that's how it gets so flexible?

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Oct 21, 2013 6:19 pm

Gameinformer showed a picture of Link taming a pokemon, and said it was straight from the depths of fan fiction. Which got me to think about a situation where link ends up on the pokemon world

Link stumbles on a zigazoon.
Red: use the poke ball I gave you to capture--
-Link slices the beast with a skyward strike-
it's super effective!
Red: OoO'
7 gyms later...
Link use skyward strike!
It's super effective!

Silly Zealot · Post by **Silly Zealot** » Tue Oct 22, 2013 7:45 am

I remember that, back when I was a kid, I got disquettes on a shopping centre that had pokemon yellow and crystal adapted for use on the PC, I think pokemon PC adaptations are still being sold nowadays, aren't there?

Also, I just recently played the The Stanley Parable Demonstration (Demonstration being the long word for demo, in case you were wondering.), it seems like it is an exploration game that is mostly about figuring out what the game is all about, while recieving witty retorts to your actions by the narrator along the way, á la GLaDOS!

The best part of the demonstration was when I got inside a room with a pole with a big button with a big 8 number painted on it and five panels behind the pole, and then, when I pressed the button, a number 8 appeared on the five panels, and a voice saying the word "Eight." was heard. Then, I pressed the button again, and the voice and the number 8 on the panels would appear again! Then I pressed it for a third time and, POOM, it happened again!
So I kept pressing it, and pressing it, and the panels lighted up with a glowing number 8 each, and the voice saying "Eight." would be heard again over and over and it was so very beautiful, and the narrator got angry at me for spending so much time pressing the button, but it didn't matter because it was ever so amusing, and then the narrator decided to wait for me outside until I was done playing the 8 game, but then things got difficult later on when I was tasked with throwing a cup in a trashbin, which was kind of hard: I dropped it on a sofa at one point and had to pick it up again from on top of it and place it on the trashbin. It was nearly an herculean task, if I may say so myself, but I managed to do it and I won, and then I got an Steam achievement and it was glorious!!!!!!

Anyone know where the discussion for DS friend codes is? I have lost it due to never posting there.

That's the one! Thanks I couldn't find it.

If you have a 3DS and play/or play Pokemon X/Y add me there.

Megamaster · Post by **Megamaster** » Mon Nov 04, 2013 5:25 am

Been recently playing Suikoden 2, Tales of Hearts and Hexyz Force. All really great games and all of them have completely made me lose interest in finishing Pokémon Y.

The Grey Wolverine · Post by **The Grey Wolverine** » Mon Nov 04, 2013 2:46 pm

Hey guys, I got Assassin's Creed 4, and ya know what, it's a fun pirate game, like, really fun

Cm4F · Post by **Cm4F** » Tue Nov 05, 2013 5:54 pm

If I may interrupt.

Guys! What am I supposed to do with this?

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Tue Nov 05, 2013 6:03 pm

I never played Mario Kart since the SNES days, but i'm sure blue shells home in on someone when shot. (Especialyl if they have wings =P)

Tue Nov 05, 2013 8:16 pm

Blue shells home in on the person in first place.

what you do is fall to 2nd place then fire

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Nov 06, 2013 1:10 am

You haven't played Mario Kart since the SNES? But you missed all the good ones!

The answer to your question is you rest assured that if you fall into second, it won't last long.

Kyuunado · Post by **Kyuunado** » Wed Nov 06, 2013 2:46 am

I was once hit by eight blue shells In one lap. I still won but that was just annoying.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Wed Nov 06, 2013 3:44 am

*sniff~sniff* ... I smell Pokémon... *Heads towards Christmas*

Post by **Sleet** » Wed Nov 06, 2013 12:20 pm

I'd be excited if I were you!

Kyuubi Kitsune wrote:I was once hit by eight blue shells In one lap. I still won but that was just annoying.

I like how blue shells worked in Mario Kart 64. They would plow through people on the way to first sometimes. In the newer games they just fly through the air and blow up.
