Can you guys get a little more to the left please, I'm here to look at the Stonehenge.

I can't recall his name, but mine is the one that says 'Bulbasaur' all the time.

Dear Sages gamers,

You're thinking about contributing to the new forum, but don't want your hard earned cash to go in the corrupted hands of the administration bureaucracy? Well, the Event Team staff just forced the system to open a donations option to contribute specifically for future prizes for the Site-Run Events of the site. All you have to do is to go to the Store and Donations tab, where you'll locate the option for donation to Contest and Event prize at the bottom. Enjoy this new feature at your own financial risk

Disclaimer : The Event Team Staff also encourage donations to the main site, we're joking around with that corruption BS......... Yes guys, I was forced by Gloves to put that in here, I think greed is getting the best out of him. Seriously, this guy clearly needs clinical helps, he's a total workaholic and megalomaniac, but I can't tell you more on here, he's watching us 24/24 hours...

What’s good with the tourney? I missed the last couple games on NA, I was playing Borderlands 3 and then the Links Awakening remake. 

We're going to host it on here in a matter of weeks. We just need to get some things straighten in terms of archives and other matters, and then we'll get back to work on the tournament and we"ll get you all informed and warmly cuddled about it

Yeah I mean anything you could do to preserve the threads, I enjoy reading through all the old contests those threads are some of my favorites.   For me the more content preserved on this the better

My main goal is to archive them just as they are on NA, so it is going to be either a complete HTML archives or a complete scrolable pictures archives, which would pretty much be what you're looking for my good Krunch!

barrelsOfCakes, obviously.

Makes more sense indeed, haha!

So, it is barrels&cakes or cakes&barrels?

Played a random game yesterday and got a 3 wands run, lol. I was a bit sloppy though, so it wasn't worth it for super high scores, but man, nailing the last stage would have got me near 178kish probably (didn't nailed anything that night anyway).

Man, I only looked at it for a couple minutes and I already feel like it is the the equivalent of the Solomon's Key guy from NA, and I've looked at this schmuck for years.

Incredibly spot on, totally like the shadow touch as well.

It is a fun challenge, you'll enjoy that par 6 for sure!

Yeah, if you've played golf games in the past, the mechanics aren't hard.  I can't recall what I did, but in my first head-to-head, I murdered the opponent.  I was/am hoping it gets a bit more difficult.

That's really the main flaw of the game, if you're somehow versed in golf mechanics like you said.

There's also a par 6 hole that you can make in 3, and the game has not planned to have Albatross in it and you just get a glitch text IIRC.

My first hole played ever in it, I chipped in for Eagle, lol

Anyone that likes golf game will like that. Had a blast with this game in early 2019, totally worth every minutes spent in it. My only criticism is that it is a bit too easy and short, other than that, very nice little game.

Didn't he get married recently? So it makes sense that he's busy with other things these days.

 

Yeah, totally absorbed into that marriage thing. I think he has his cock and balls attached somewhere at the moment, we can't expect him to login in such a situation.

Well, after giving this another thought, I'll save HTML too in case I want to go that route later on. Time is a factor so I'll put more effort in preserving now.

I’m really looking forward to Bea’s appearance. Shit will feel real. I know life is wild for her at the moment but still...

and bimmy, oh bimmy, AWOL? Cmon..

Yeah, Bea has some serious things to deal with, but she'll return in her usual awesome self sooner than later. Bimmy, I had to state AWOL because, well he's simply not around lately. Haven't logged in for a month last time I checked on NA, so we can't expect him to be active on here at the moment. I'm sure he'll be back at some point, and I want him to know he's still totally considered part of the team when he's ready to jump back in.

It is actually a wolf - from Okami

Tho I think pup can still apply cause baby wolves can be called pups along with other terms. 

Still 100%  cuddleable material!

Why not just download the pages as HTML?

Man, glad to see you're here Alder! It's so cool to see all those familiar faces popping up again on VGS

Well, I don't know exactly, but I thought the fact that each page generates their own pictures folder was sort of annoying to handle. I'm not set in stone on how I wish to do this, and I got to admit I'm no expert in web design, so the pages/pics looked like something easy to handle for me, and it is easier to compress them all in size VS having all those separate folders with all pics.

By all means, if anyone have any suggestions to make it as practicable, easy to use and fast to archive, I'm open to hear them.

Hey guys!

I thought about making a visual archive of the weekly contest. I know that Bea is working on backing up data in a more technical way, but I had this idea that could be another project which would try to preserve the 'feel' of the contest history. I would archive all threads in the form of pics, each pic being a page of 100 posts. Here's an example : weekly contest archive test

Download the pic and open it with your internet browser. I use firefox and all I have to do is to click on the pic to adjust it to a normal view size, and then I can scroll it just like we would on the forum. The idea would be to make an easy accessible directory where each contest threads would be archived in its entirety (ie: 360 posts thread = 4 clickable link to pics). Is it something that you guys would like to use as a reference to the old threads, in the event that everything is about to get washed up in the NA site update?

One of my fav on the NES too!

Such a killer score Michael, definitely something that any Marble Madness high rollers should shoot for. One day I'll put myself at it again

I am now spacepup but I was formerly sadikyo on NintendoAge.  It was kinda tough to say goodbye to sadikyo, which has been, well, ME, for many many many years.  To make things even more confusing for members, I ALSO changed my avatar hah.  Although, I've been using Amaterasu here on discord for a while.  

I changed my name in discord to spacepup for a while as kinda sorta joke but everyone loved it so I decided to roll with it!  Plus, now I have plans for spacepup

Sadikyo was nice, but let's be honest, spacepup is like 10000000X better

Wish I could cuddle that dog in your avatar!

I was nesguy on NA way back a ways, and I've been epic_lotus on there for the last year or so when I rejoined.  I shortened it up to just epiclotus for here. 

Man, for real, NESGUY!

I'm so glad you're back man, we had a lot of chats and deals together on NA back then! I always wondered if you would pop back in at some point, and it happens now with VGS! That's Awesome and see ya around man!

Have you seen that nice purple halo around the mods? Ahhhhh... purple.

This whole site was actually a clever scheme to eliminate "New Guy" from all your vocabularies.

Don't trick yourself Doug, you may have bought yourself an admin role on VGS, but you're still some new guy around here bud
