Animal Crossing: New Leaf is fantastic. My town, Ericton (before you ask, yes, my name is Eric and yes, I named the town after myself), is growing quite rapidly and it's all thanks to my beetle farming hard work and determination! I've already got three bridges, a fountain, and a two-story house with a basement coming tomorrow. I just love the way this game works - it almost seems like a sequel to both the first one (one of my favorite games of all time) and City Folk, because all of the featu
Well, it appears I (thankfully) missed another blow-up on here. I have no clue what happened, but I assume someone made an insensitive or offensive comment and people took offense to it. If that's the case, (s)he probably deserved it... But that's not the biggest problem I see here. The community is split in half. One half has one view, one half the other. Most people are respectful, but a few on both sides can't stand everyone on the other. That is a major problem. A split of opinion is not a
I've been enjoying my 3DS very much for the past few days, aside from one issue... Freezing. For some reason, Animal Crossing: New Leaf has frozen at least four times now. I have a physical copy, and am using the SD card that came with the system; when the game freezes, it returns me to the home screen. Most recently, the game froze while I was on the island (and after having earned well over 70,000 bells). Any advice, guys? I don't want to lose my town data, and I have no clue if this is a hard
I had a fun little mini-adventure for a 3DS today, and I've got to say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. So, to begin I decided to go to Best Buy to get a red, regular 3DS. They have them going for $154.99 online (a significant discount from the $169.99 MSRP), but the model is discontinued so there just aren't too many out there. By the time I got there, they had already sold it. At this point, I'm pretty bummed. I don't have enough to get the full-price ones. We spent a tittle longe
So, the area of North Carolina I live in has become victim to a massive flash flood over the past 12 hours or so. The flooding is covering bridges and roads, causing pretty big sink holes to form over said roads and bridges, and all sorts of other nasty stuff. This is just another part of a really bizarre summer we've been having around here - the weather has basically alternated between hot, drought-type weather (90+ degrees) and very rainy weather. Thankfully there are no reported fatalitie
So, I've pretty much set in mind I am going to get a 3DS in the next few weeks. I have more than enough money at the moment, but I think I'm only going to buy the console and one game at the moment. Now, the difficult thing is deciding which game to buy. I'm wavering between Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. So, BZP, which would you recommend? -TN05
Just think - if we hadn't won, we'd still be wearing top hats and speaking in British accents, we'd be saluting the queen, and we'd be playing cricket instead of baseball and soccer instead of football. Also, go Egypt! -TN05
I got sunburned a few days ago. Now the itching has begun. SO. FREAKING. ITCHY. I about want to chop off my arms at this point. If you ever get synburn itch, take a cold shower. That's about the only thing keeping me from having a panic-induced heart heart attack, -TN05
Kudos to Sony for rejecting always-online and DRM. I already knew I would not be purchasing an Xbone, but I will probably get a PS4 in a year or two. Very similar specs, but PS4 doesn't require online (which means Mincrosoft could end Xbone access in the future), no DRM (right of first sale FTW), and no always on, possibly always-spying Kinect. And, to add to that, it is $100 cheaper. And if you haven't seen it, look up Sony's "How to share games on the PS4" video. It is amazing. -TN05
I know I've gotten involved in some testy situations on here, but I really get upset whenever something blows over on here. For a website that I've been on for over half a decade, it really disappoints me that we can be so disruptive to each other. It's always bothered me how people can be so vicious on the internet due to a disagreement on something, but in real life we're more willing to be nice and talk. I have an idea: let's treat our internet relations just like you would treat a relationsh
PYONGYANG, DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KOREA - Kim Jong-un, the Supreme Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), has announced with much fanfare that the mighty People's Navy of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (PNDPRK) will invade the United States. The boat, manned by skilled Korean soldiers, will be launched today and is scheduled to land in America some time in the next 24 months; in a show of support, Supreme Seader Kim Jong-un will ride with the soldiers on
I finally got lucky with packs yesterday. I got a 99, two-star Antonio Gates basketball card as part of a Legendary pack. These go for anywhere from 60,000 to 120,000 on auction, but it is a very good gameplay card, so I'm debating what to do with it. I've also finally settled on a team name, the 'FightingSheldns' (bonus points if you get the reference). -TN05
So in more Madden 13 UT fun today, I managed to win a Legends pack (as well as 8,000 coins), and who else did it contain but the G.O.A.T: Jerry freaking Rice. Considering I'd been looking to buy a Jerry Rice card, this is great - the card also contained a Anquan Boldin, Greg Olsen (one of my favorite Panthers), and 92 Jay Ratliff. Seriously, these packs are awesome. In addition to those, I bought some other cards off auction - Marshall Faulk (reviving the Greatest Show on Turf, perhaps?), 97 o
Okay, so over the past few days I've managed to radically improve my team. Here is my current lineup, with bolded players being new additions: Offense: QB: Kurt Warner (96 overall), Steve Young (93 overall), Cam Newton (85 overall) HB: Adrian Peterson (85 overall), DeAngelo Williams (84 overall) FB: Stanley Havili (63 overall) WR: Randy Moss (84 overall), Lance Moore (82 overall) TE: Vernon Davis (95 overall), Jason Witten (93 overall) LT: Joe Staley (87 overall) LG: Justin Blalock (85 overall
So I've been getting into Ultimate Team lately, mainly due to Connected Career becoming impossible due to not being able to restructure contracts (seriously EA, what the heck were you thinking?). Anyway, I just completed the NFC South Solo Challenge, and my reward was Ronnie Lott (96 overall) - in case you don't know, one of the toughest players in NFL history and one of the best to boot. I've been working on my offense more than anything but with Ronnie Lott at SS I shifted a rookie version o
I'm considering making a comics version of Surivor set with BZPower members. Yes, I know the idea is not original but nobody has done it in a long while and I think it would be fun to do. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in being a player on it (I'd be looking for around 14-18 members to participate, split into either two or three tribes depending on size), and what gameplay elements people would be interested in seeing from such a series. EDIT: I will send a PM to all int
So glad to see my Panthers annihilate a team for two weeks in a row. Too bad we couldn't play like this earlier in the year, but finishing on a strong note is great. On another more, how on earth did the Lions lose to the Cardinals? They lost 58-0 last week. I thought the Lions were better than this, honestly -TN05
Stop slandering everyone with autism, something you clearly know nothing about. If you had even the slightest grasp of what autism is you would realize that most people with autism aren't mentally capable enough to speak, let alone shoot people. And if you had the slightest grasp is Asperger Syndrome, you would realize we aren't "missing something in the brain", we aren't depressed, and we do have empathy, perhaps even more than you do; rather, many of us find it hard to recognize nonverbal spee
So yeah, Commissioner Goodell wants to expand the playoffs. Not a good idea; aside from weakening the playoffs substantially, the math just doesn't work. With 14 teams (7 from each conference), there would have to be only one team with a bye because: *With 2 byes, you get five teams in the first round *With 3 byes, you get five teams in the second round With 16 teams (8 from each conference), there would have to be four teams with byes because: *With 1 bye, you would have seven teams in the
