I purchased some eShop cards from Splain.

Feedback: Positive.

Comments: Communication was great through out the transaction.  The codes were received quickly after payment was sent.  Great seller.  Thanks again.

Holy crap. I gotta admit, while I saw the frustration of the mod team and all that brewing for a long time, I didn't for a second think it would actually go out like this. Like.. I'm actually quite shocked. I can't imagine why someone would go through the trouble of buying NA then utterly destroying it with the brand and all in such a short time. 

Ugh.. and it seems all my feedback there is gone too? Great, now no-one's gonna dare sending me a single game to Finland anymore.. 

It's crazy how VGS already feels so much more like what NA was at it's best.

I would mail you games in exchange for Lakerol and smorgas pickles.  Maybe some pressidenti coffee and wooden spatulas.

It's sad to see NA gone.  Hopefully everyone who wanted to stay enjoys GoCollect.  It isn't even that community in name anymore.

Conquest > Revelations > Birthright

I know what they were attempting to do with Fates, give you different perspectives in the same game, but honestly the whole thing felt like a slug, especially on lunatic mode. It's a bit unusual, since from the getgo the game tells you to play Birthright then Conquest and finally Revelations, but it becomes almost like a chore. Although you definitely get lots of gaming hours out of it. 

Thank you. We bought the special edition with all the games then being lost with all the options.  Never did end up playing it.

Oh yeah, forgot about Fates. 

Guess it really didn't leave that much of an impression  

It was honestly okay, and on lunatic mode it's the most challenging Fire Emblem game. But, it's just not that fun. The Conquest version of Fates is the most fun, and is basically classic Fire Emblem, but Fates is easily surpassed by Awakening and of course Echoes. 

How would you rank the three versions of fates that were released?

Maybe this console/handheld Terminator is the mascot we need.

I usually just go home when its bad.  Although I will toe the line and run errands until it looks like it's about to get bad.  If ice is involved I don't even chance it.  I don't mind driving 5 moh in low visibility but I do mind sliding all over the roads.

Fire Emblem Awakening

Fire Emblem Echoes -> BEST Fire Emblem game 

Dragon Quest VII

Dragon Quest VIII

 

There are definitely others, but those four will keep you busy. I would go so far as to say that it's worth getting a 3DS for Echoes alone, so that is likely my favorite 3DS as well as Fire Emblem game. 

Ivw heard people talk about Awakening but Echos is that good?  I've got all three that came out but don't know where to start.

Personally my favorite was Animal Crossing New Leaf.  I put tons of hours into that and had a blast.  Can't wait for the new one.  Also, Mario Kart 7 was lots of fun.  The best portable one I have played.

Metroid Samus Returns is worth a playthrough as well.  It's the only game I could use 3d with.  Some might be mixed on it but I thought it was a worthwhile title.

Thanks for adding your feedback below.

30.  Apparently this is the year I became an adult and am old.  At least that's what people told me on my birthday.

Everyone used to believe that in Pokemon Red/Blue, some combination of holding A/B and a direction on the D-pad (usually up) would make it more likely that a capture was successful.

I still mash buttons when I play Yellow.  I may not work but I can't stop.

I missed the Minit release from Special Reserve.  If anyone has a copy to sell let me know what you are asking.

I would say between Skyrim and State of Decay (flip a coin or something), I'm sure I spent well in the thousands of hours on them. But no more since last week I lost my temper and smashed my 360 to bits and then trashed it (it froze up on me all too many times and I was having a bad day). Two of the best games ever yet also suffered more glitches than anything else I ever played, many of those being game breaking, hence the broken console. That's all right, I needed to pull away from them because that is all I was doing day and night, whatever waking hours were spent on either of those. As much as I have love for so many NES games and as many years as I spent devoted to that, nothing ever engrossed me so much as these open world games had, and at times nothing ever pissed me off as much either. Could just be me. Favorite game(s) but not necessary the greatest, but it's only been a short time and I already miss them.

If you get into the mods it will be a whole new experience too. Skyrim looks like a whole new game after spending an afternoon installing tweaks.  It can play completely differently too.  Morrowind still gets the nod for me but Skyrim gets my attention more often than not.

Your cross-stitching was pretty amazing, are you still doing that?

I'd love to see some cool cross stitch. We bought a Stardew Valley cross-stitch book.  Once winter comes we are going to get into it.

And welcome! Great community around here.

Nintendo 64 was the first console I got growing up.  Once that generation was over I got a PS2 but began shifting to PC.  Digital downloads and emulators became my go to.  The Wii U and 3ds brought me back. 

The switch brought back a nostalgia I had for the N64 era Nintendo.  BOTW and Odyssey gave me the same feeling OOT and SM64 did back then.  Now I pick up mostly Switch games.  I have bought most all of the first party titles, a number of third party titles, and a smattering of physical indie titles.  Its been a good time watching that shelf fill in.

Honorable mention to Sega Saturn.  I never knew what it was growing up so exploring its catalog has been cool so far.  Hoping to pick up more imports and see what it has to offer.

I remember a friend telling me if you stood in front of the vending machine in the Celadon department store for one hour and hit A it would open and reveal a hidden room. I can no longer remember what he claimed was there.  Probably masterballs or Mew. 

I remember leaving my game on while watching TV and keeping an eye on the clock on the TV Guide channel.  It didn't open.  Must have been a second or two off.

This has been great so far.  Lots of new threads and activity.  Lot of fun to be a part of.

Accountant.  It's kind of boring but I have plenty of student loans so I'm not going anywhere.

Welcome!

Oh yeah, it's a good one! My favourite part as a kid was just flying around in the Gyrocopter firing missiles at everything, usually on the little USA stage. It was also very satisfying when you manage to unlock the birdman suit, and you can truly take the game at your own pace, without the worry of fuel or keeping tight control of your flying.

I did the same thing a bunch.  I would use the GameShark for infinite fuel and low time.  Going through river run and shooting as many boats as possible was always fun.  Sometimes I would land and just drive the gyrocopter around the US.

Birdman(night) on that first island was great.  The music and exploration that provided was awesome.

I sat down to play Pilotwings 64 for a bit after dinner.  Ended up running through the whole game and getting the credits.  That was the smoothest I have even played through that game.  Even the hand gliding went pretty well.  I forgot how much fun that game can be.  Also that music is fantastic.  Nintendo needs to make more games like this again.

I have multigrain bread with peanut butter and banana for breakfast, yogurt with granola as a snack, then a salad for lunch.  Afternoon I have a light snack (pretzels etc). Dinner I am trying to do less carryout.  We have dinner out or something bad for carryout twice a week. It's helped me lose about 10 pounds. 

I had pizza and chicken tenders last night and am really feeling it.  Sluggish, tired, and puffy eyes.  Sodium gets to me.

If I'm reading that right the Japanese Pokemon's are English friendly. Hoping to pick up the new ones on my trip.

It's pretty good especially if your anywhere close to a fan of NV but I am really enjoying the interactions with the NPCs and such as I've been pulled in so many ways over different situations and at times I get to the point I think I can just resolve shit by just taking out some one, then I'll hear another side or two of the story and end up rethinking the whole thing, there are a lot of funny moments as well and some of the shit you can come off with and the reactions can be comical. Like there is a character in a space station just doing his job and just by his tone you can sense he is not liking it but pretty much has to so I was giving him hell every chance I got just to get him to admit there are better things he could be doing.  There are companions as well and each one (found 3 so far) have their own personality and history, goals that keep things a bit interesting aside doing your thing. Perks is pretty interesting but there is also what is called flaws you can gain as well and gets a bit funny how you can obtain them if you want them like falling off shit too much, getting too many hits and causing a concussion, fear of robots and such. 

But yeah I think its well worth checking out from what I seen its not all that long of a game like near 40ish hours and I have already sunk maybe 20ish in and I don't think I am barely into the main quest yet so I can see this lasting way longer than it was claimed. 

This sounds closer to the fallout experience I wanted that what 4 offered.  4 felt more refined but less creative.  This sounds really refreshing.  I'm going to pick it up after vacation so I can really sink some hours in.  I could see the 40 hours turning into 80 really easily.

I doubt that happens since the 3DS version fell flat on its face from what prices tell me.

Yeah.  The $5 price point doesn't scream success.  I'm not sure if moving away from Miis to established characters would help.  Miis always seemed budget to me.
