3 days until I lose my social life. Just a reminder to everyone here.
Tails repliedHey Shulk. What's your NNID? I would love to partner with you online when the game comes out.
WakingDawn96 repliedIf we are talking about what I think we are talking about, I am still not going to be able to get it. I already got most of the things I am going to get this year until Christmas, so yeah, plus I haven't played the first yet

My parents are getting a new TV, and since we'll be shuffling around all of our current TVs, I was able to claim the older TV that had no other use. Yesss, I finally get a TV that's not a foot tall!
Shulk repliedI actually don't know if it's Cyber Monday, or just leftover Black Friday stock.
The TV I'm getting isn't massive, but it's something I'll actually be able to play games on well. Also, since we'd need space for it, they're finally pulling out the old cabinet that took up so much space in my room. I need to find something to put the new TV on, but I'll like the space.WakingDawn96 repliedThat's awesome for you, mate! But I do have to admit that I have a 3DHD Smart TV in my room that my parents got for me when it was really on sale for a good deal and I have been lucky to have that thing to play video games on so I had a great Smash Bros experience!
Shulk repliedI'd definitely love to get a nicer TV, but I'm happy with anything better than my current one at this point. The TV I have in my room right now is tiny and placed up really high, so I have trouble noticing some smaller details on it. The one I'm getting is a lot bigger, and we'll have to get a smaller stand for it, so I won't have trouble seeing the screen anymore. Perfect timing, too, given that Xenoblade comes on Friday and I'll be able to play it in my room now!

I'm really happy to hear that Xenoblade X's main focus is on the exploration. Nothing's going to keep me held back aside from needing new forms of transportation once I've explored enough! No clue when I'd actually get around to doing the story missions at that rate, though.

I picked up FFXIV: Heavensward from GameStop since it was supposed to include a download code for the base game as a little promotional deal... And of course, I didn't get the code yet. Hopefully they can get it to me soon...
Pangoro "Sen" repliedOuch. Hopefully you can get it soon. XIV is the best main series Final Fantasy game in years. Of course, this is ignoring the original launch, since that literally doesn't exist anymore. But yeah, I'm fairly certain you'll like the game! And if you have any questions or need any tips, come right to me!
Shulk repliedI got my code earlier today. I loved the free trial, so I had to get it for that price. My only concern is the monthly fee. Either way, I'll let you know if I have any questions!
Pangoro "Sen" repliedYeah, the monthly payment can be a bit of a pain. In fact, that's the main reason as to why I haven't played it in a while. Anyways, yeah, aside from that the game doesn't have any major flaws. At least, not in my opinion.

I'll be away all this week, but I'll probably drop in from time to time. Don't expect posts though, and I'll be reading PMs when I get back.

I'm currently considering both quitting RPs, and quitting Smash, both at the same time... What a fun morning.
venxas24 repliedSometimes just taking a break from most things is really beneficial. I've been out of smash for a couple months and it's really helped a lot
Nero Kunivas repliedThat would be rash of you, Shulk.

The tone of those who spoke could have been better, but I wouldn't let it get to you. Saves you quite the headache.
Pangoro "Sen" repliedWell, do what you have to do to relieve stress. Nobody will judge you for such minor actions as that.

All caught up to the Half Life series, outside of the expansions that HL1 got. The ending of episode 2... That was easily one of the most well-handled game endings I've seen... I don't even know what to say about it.
Shulk repliedPlus all of the additional years that come along with those 8...
Oh, I've got both Opposing Force and Blue Shift. I just never got around to finishing them. I definitely plan to do that soon, but I want to finish playing through Black Mesa first so I can get the proper setting for the expansions again. It's been a long time since I last played HL1.
HeyMouseSayCheese repliedOh good, both Opposing Force and Blue Shift are rad (Opposing Force significantly more so because it actually has new content, while Blue Shift just kinda copies all the weapons and enemy types from HL1, though it's still worth it if only because of the fat balding Canadian security guards).
And good luck with the whiplash of going from Black Mesa back to late 90s shooter games. Those polygons'll mess you up something fierce.
Shulk repliedYeah, I've heard that OF is considered the best of the two. I still think it'd be fun to see Barney's whole story, and it's Half Life, so you can't really go wrong with that.
It's going to be a weird transition, but it shouldn't be too bad.

Seryuu: "My parents, Captain Orge, and the doctor... everyone I care about gets killed." Hmmmmm, good.
Shulk repliedI haven't seen Toonami in general in a long time. Don't even know what Intruder II is. I want to try catching up while I'm traveling.
Also, keep in mind I only watch 3 shows on Toonami anyway, so unless it's on during those, I wouldn't know about them at all.
Shulk repliedOh, okay. I'll be sure to not skip over it, then. I've been recording DB, so I should have all of them.
Shulk repliedLike I said, I've got a few days that I'll just be traveling during, so I should have time to catch up then since I can watch everything on my phone. Won't have time outside of that, though, since I'll be with family.

Do you want to see why they call me... Revolver?
Shulk repliedMGS4's in the collection too, unless we're thinking of different collections. The Legacy Collection has 1-4 and Peace Walker.
As for MGSV, I definitely plan on getting that once I get a PS4. That might take some time, though.
Josuke Higashikata repliedOh! I have the HD collection, you see. It only has 2, 3, and Peace Walker.
And huzzah! You shall eventually know The Man Who Sold the World!
Shulk repliedOh, alright. I was thinking that might have been the one you were talking about, since I've heard of that one, too. I'm planning on just going for the Legacy Collection, since it's a pretty good price, and I'd get both 4 and a back-up copy of MGS1.
Just give it a few years, probably.

Nintendo of America really seems to be setting Xenoblade X up for failure. Europe's done a lot to advertise the game, and what has America done recently? Mentioned its name in a Direct and said "Go to our YouTube page if you want to see it." If it doesn't perform well out here over this, I'm going to be really disappointed.
Shulk repliedThat wasn't just NoA, Europe did it too. Either way, it's a dumb decision, but people are overreacting. I've seen someone say they're boycotting the game over it, which is just ridiculous. The lack of an ability to give your character a smaller or larger chest won't make this game any less amazing.

It's officially the one year anniversary of amiibo today... So in other words, one year since I started collecting game-related merchandise, and one year since I ended up finding my obsession. Good times...
Shulk repliedYeah, those are 1 year old now too. amiibo's just what came to mind first. I love both Smash U and OR/AS, but amiibo is something new, which is why it's so fun to look back on that.
WakingDawn96 repliedI think that it is important to remember all three of them, but espically because I didn't receive my first Amiibo until Christmas Eve which was a gift from my sister and was the Link one that started it all. The next one I would get would be Kirby followed by Luigi and that was it until 2015 came along. So today I techinally can only look back at Smash and Pokemon.
Shulk repliedIt's amiibo and Smash for me, I didn't get Omega Ruby until December. I picked up Smash and a Kirby amiibo last year at launch, though.

So much for finishing Xenoblade 3D before X is released. ._. Still have at least 60 hours left to go in it.

Until Dawn 2 is apparently already being thought about by the developers... Hoping for a sequel now.
Xiro repliedSpeaking of which, what's the canon ending of Until Dawn? ._. (Should probably move to the PM
)Shulk repliedI'd imagine they'd use a new cast, and maybe even a new setting and villains.
Also, as far as I know, there isn't a canon ending. ._. That's why a sequel would probably need to be a new story.

My two favorite voice actors are options in Xenoblade X, with two of my other favorites joining them... Now I have to decide between Bryce Papenbrook and Adam Howden. Or take the easy route and make a girl with Kate Higgins' voice. Aaagh.
