Minecraft - the worst graphics I have ever seen therefore the worst game I have ever seen.

...great logic there. The graphics aren't the point of the game, silly.

Also, this is starting to get really off topic. Minecraft sucking or not has nothing to do with user hiatuses.

NIWA Discussion / Re: New Hub Pages. Check it out by clicking "Network Hub" and review

Much clearer than the old hub page was! It took me a long time to find the affiliates on the old one, and this one just looks sleeker in general.

Also, woo interwiki search engine. Too bad it's biased since it runs off of Google. (Oh, my precious wiki, you may not be popular yet and don't show up very often on the search engine, but soon you shall rule the world.)

She never said anything about Zelda.

Yeah, but I did mention fandoms being obnoxious. Related.

Pokemon. It's not that "I'M TOO OLD FOR POKEMON IT'S UNCOOL" kind of phase. I genuinely don't like
it. 8( Feel free to kill me now! I can see the appeal in it, and I can see why it's so popular. But the fandom (and myself, as well) really ruined my enjoyment of the games. It's like all of the magicalness is taken out. All of it.

I haven't played many games that I really don't like, hmm. I do remember trying out Fire Emblem and being pretty bored by it (medieval/classical fantasy things aren't really my thing *shrug*), but I didn't get very far, so I can't say I hated it or anything...

*Mother
*Smash Bros
*Zelda

My top three, I think.

The Lounge / Re: What rare/geeky/novelty crap do you own?

« on: February 05, 2011, 06:49:12 PM »

I don't think I have much "official" merch that's rare or anything. I have a Famicom micro and the Dialga/Palkia DS Lite, and a random Phantom Hourglass cel that keeps popping up every time I clean my room. But for fun, I'll list off what game-related things I have lying around my room.

*Those Club Nintendo Zelda posters (I have the Twilight Princess one hung up because the others don't really match my room :V)
*Some headphones I got with Super Scribblenauts. Purple with polka-dots! I find myself using them as earmuffs more than I do headphone covers.
*Two Zelda shirts
*One Homestuck -- ok, that's a comic, not a game, but I'm counting it because it's nerdy -- shirt. Yay Jade!
*An Animal Crossing doll and a Luke (from Professor Layton) doll
*The official Mother 2 guide

And out of my fanmade things....

*Ness (who's wearing a Fangamer pin lolol), Ana, Paula, Kumatora, Mr. Saturn, Rope Snake, Lucas, Claus and a Fobby are currently chilling in my room right now. Collection is growing because I can't stop sewing.
*Sky Runner poster from Fangamer
*A couple random doodles of Mother characters on my corkboard
*A little Lucas keychain that I made out of boredom, but it came out pretty bleh.
*A Franklin Badge that I wear pretty much everywhere. (If I had an official one I still wouldn't wear it. Wouldn't risk losing that thing!)

I have a lot of Pokemon things too but I like to pretend that they don't exist

EarthBound / Mother / Re: Mother 3 Deluxe Box CHEAP?

« on: February 05, 2011, 04:48:15 PM »

Nope!

Trust me, I've been looking too. For Christmas I couldn't even get it because my mom thought it was ridiculous to pay $250+ for a game that I already payed and an 'outdated console'. (I don't blame her, but it still broke my heart.)

... Wait. Didn't you say you already had it?

Miror B. by himself would be creepy in live action, and he's (somewhat) human.

What makes him not human? O_o The fact that he dances funny and has weird battle music?

Why does everyone hate the micro? I think it was one of Nintendo's greatest ideas, and I like it miles more than the DS phat.

Aww, I like the micro a lot. There's the SP and all but that doesn't have the headphone jack, and the screen looks really washed out and blurry. (Maybe mine's just old though?)

Thing is, it's also Pokemon. Which is a game series that regularly remakes old games (maybe two times isn't "regularly", okay, but tell me with a straight face you don't see them doing it again in the future?). Why would they just do updating to include Johto Pokemon and Wi-Fi and sell the game for $5? That's completely unlike Pokemon. If they're going to revamp it, they're gonna go the extra mile to do so.

I can see them releasing the original (with fixed glitches, of course, as sad as I am to admit that) for $5 (or something) on the VC but I don't see them giving the game random bonus features like that.

Now I wonder how they would do the whole link cable thing though. You gotta catch em all somehow. I could see them modifying the link cable system to work with wireless or something but not anything more than that.

pfft, standard RPG's are so boring.

Yeah, this. If they go the regular old JRPG route, it'll be pretty boring. (I doubt Nintendo would go for something so standard, anyway. They usually have some bizarre twist on things to make it interesting.) I don't think it'll have Kid Icarus-style gameplay though since they're releasing Uprising soon and all..

I'm kind of puzzled, myself. But for sure I think gameplay will focus on decision-making, kind of like a good/evil thing....?

If they Re Release Blue or Yellow to VC, it should have the 100 Johto Pokemon Programed in, allowing it to be compatible with Crystal VC.  & Pikachu's Surf minigame in International Game Corner for both, with memory match & Voltorb Flip card game in Crystal GC!
Mystery Gift feature to download Mew, & Wi-Fi Trading/Battles at Indigo Plateau
All multiplayer funtions are updated, but use the same graphics.

Name a VC game that's been edited that heavily before.

Yeah.

NIWA Discussion / Re: Pikipedia has a new template

« on: February 01, 2011, 06:57:16 AM »

Yeah, language tables are a given for game series that have been translated into multiple languages.

I love having info on the different names for things in different languages! ...I only know English and Japanese though and I'm sure that's covered by other users very easily. :\

(Not sure how useful a specific language table/template would be on WB though, the Mother series has only ever been in English/Japanese, so.. well, it wouldn't be there, I guess. It definitely comes in handy on other wikis though.)

Note: I just saw a screenshot of Wicarus in your About page. The main page isn't showing up with multiple columns on my end. I'm seeing each template stacked as full spanners.

Looks like the screencap was taken and the main page was designed with a 1440px wide monitor. The columns are full spanners on my screen as well (1024px wide btw), you may want to fix that and make it consistent between different screen sizes.

You tried openCanvas? It works really well.

Yeah, I've tried it before. It was pretty nice. I always end up going back to Photoshop, though. I like it the most out of what I've tried (GIMP, SAI, openCanvas, etc)

I might as well post some more things on here. The fan creations section is sort of dead.

[spoiler=tons of plushies! ...or just six]
Q_Q I love my Lucas plushie. So so so so much.

I just finished her tonight, actually! Yay Ana? '-' (Still needs a hat.)

Yay a big Ness plushie 8D (I think I lost his hat though. I like how it came out, too... )


Kumatora! Fun fact: Her dress uses the same material I did for my Kumatora cosplay. (That was not fun to sew.)

Paula looks a lot cuter irl. The picture does not do her justice. 8(


I re-did Claus recently -- which is to say, un-Chimeraized him (lol replaced his gun arm) and gave him his normal outfit. One of my favorites :>[/spoiler]

Look at the plushies. Gaze at their snuggliness. I command you to do it. 

[spoiler=image][/spoiler]
Lucas out in the rain. He's got an umbrella, but looks like the rain's getting to him anyway. (I used one of his alt outfits in Brawl for color scheme reasons  )

[spoiler=image][/spoiler]
Paula using PK Freeze and overall being awesome. Inspired by her kicking some serious ass in my current Mother 2 playthrough. :O (seriously Ness was busy getting homesick and getting colds a lot while Paula was all like DON'T WORRY NESS I'LL HANDLE THIS *smacks the crap out of everything*)

[spoiler=image][/spoiler]
More endgame stuff, this time with Paula and Kumatora. (I realize how horribly out of character Kumatora looks. If she saw me drawing that I don't think I would be alive right now.)

[spoiler=image][/spoiler]
Lumine Hall. I really like how this turned out.

I believe there'll come a day
Maybe it will be tomorrow
When the bluebird flies away
All we have to do is follow
I believe a dream can still come true
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
