~Shockwave~

By whose definition? the last game we got launched in 2007. (We don't talk about the other one...) We've barely heard a wimper from Nintendo about the franchise, even though there's a new game launch just around the corner.

This day (or tomorrow maybe?) Was when my favorite video game franchise launched. I wouldn't discover it until after the launch of Zero Mission. Which is still my favorite in the series. I'm going to go celebrate by attempting to beat Prime.

It's also worth noting that the blast ball portion of the game is available for download currently, and it has controller options for both systems. Just FYI

I feel trapped in a bubble of crippling self doubt, but what else is new, right?

Okay, so, if you work in a building and see a bag has come off the edge of a trashcan and fallen in you have a couple options. A: notify someone to fix the problem B: fix the problem C: ignore it and keep chucking your trash in it, it'll get fixed. If you picked A or B, congrats, you are more competent than some of my coworkers. Give yourself a pat on the back. Bonus points if you dump liquid in the trashcan...

I'm honestly not surprised. I liked some of the 2015 sets and bought some of them, but the 2016 sets where mostly not to my liking. I don't even know what's happened in the story. I was a little sad about the news but I heard of some of the situations with the sets being not released in certain regions so I'm not surprised. If nothing else the '15 Gali set was phenomenal so I have that to remember it by.

The linked page in the facebook post said something about the Netflix series putting an end to all speculation about it's future, I haven't watched it, anyone mind filling me in on that? This: http://www.lego.com/en-us/bionicle/newsboard

I'm sorry, but team flaming chicken is objectively superior.

Yeah, I've backed out of the rest... winning three is enough I think.

Wow... I usually have awful luck with these...

But my nearest pokestop is a half mile away from my house... At least there's one at work.

This looks really cool, it has a pretty good selection of games, is pretty cheap, all things considered and the controller is cool. But I feel it accentuates just how expensive the games are to obtain on Nintendo's other hardware. At $5 a pop it would cost $150 to buy them all, assuming they're all available. I understand it took work creating the emulator and putting everything together, but that is one heck of a price difference. And since it is so cheap, I bet it's going to be a long time before they hit shelves long enough to get one. Still really excited though.

And if you wanted to buy them all it would only cost you about... $150 for all the games. Assuming you have the Wii U or 3DS. But no, old VC games aren't overpriced.

Also: I tried to convince my boss to take the CEO to the old building first as it's a disaster, then bring him to our new branch, just wow him with the difference. They didn't do it but they liked the idea.. Woo! *sends fist bump through time and space* Janitors unite!

Right, I get that, and that would be fine if I was in a field, but doesn't work in a neighborhood unless I learn parkor. And it's not efficient for mass gathering anyway.

we're the only branch in my city. that would be quite the adventure...

A little while ago the CEO of the company I work for visited my place of work. Me being the sole janitor working there obviously had a lot of work to do. It was an exhausting week as you can probably imagine. I was not able to stay, but several of my coworkers informed me that the CEO was very impressed at how well the place was kept up and that most branches don't put in much effort. So that's pretty awesome. I wonder how many people can say that. Definitely an improvement over my last place of work.

I really like the idea behind this game, but they made some strange design choices. How far away is three paw prints? What does that mean? Is that"Somewhere on the visible map" or something else? It's just really unclear on how to find them. I've seen people say that going to the rustling grass areas will work, but it doesn't seem to, as I can be right on top of them and nothing. or it'll vanish and reappear based on my proximity to it. I've also had a lot of trouble with throwing pokeballs, it seems to vaguely correlate with how I'm moving my finger rather then actually being dictated by it. I burned more than 20 of them trying to catch a pidgiot because around half of them just kind of lazily fell off the screen. the other half it escaped from or where actual misses. And that's when I can actually find them, and you need a lot of them to be productive. None of this is helped by the fact that it's currently above 100 degrees here so going out and exploring isn't really that fun. That and the nearest point of interest is a half mile away and the nearest gyms are probably a mile out. The game is fun and they've got an OK start but it really needs some work.

I have a decent keyboard that I'm happy with and a mouse that I absolutely love, but I think the mouse is starting to give me issues... I like it because it can track on anything and you could bludgeon someone with it if you where so inclined. The thing is absurdly heavy and most mice advertise being light and I just won't put up with that.

I'm finally getting around to playing this game. Not that I should be in any hurry since it's been nearly a decade since the last release I'm willing to acknowledge. I've no idea how much further I've got to go, I'm thinking it can't be that much further... I just got the power bomb, based on past experience that should be fairly endgame I think. I'm not really a fan of the enemies that phase in and out of visibility, makes them a pain to aim at, and the Chozo ghosts, while not a threat, shouldn't take 5 minutes to take out. But other than that I'm really enjoying it, reminds me of when I played Zero Mission as a Kid.

I was a bit surprised to see Doom get such a heavy discount. I'll be purchasing it when I get home.

Bonus points if it's completely illegible.

Sounds like you need Adblock. I have it, I can't see them but they're still there, haunting me. And it doesn't work on the Hulu apps so I still have dumb commercials there. Honestly I'm watching a half an hour show, 4 "breaks" is just not okay. Especialy when they have like, 3 commercials. I wasn't going to see the Warcraft movie before, now I'm not going to see it just to prove a point.

Before we do that, can we get rid of all the ads? I think that would be a massive improvement.

I was a bit disappointed in what Microsoft brought to the table in terms of games and software, but I really like the crossplay thing they're going to do. I'm still not a huge fan of digital games for consoles but it really doesn't seem like there's a point anymore. and being able to play the same games on my PC will be nice. But I have to wonder, if all of their first party games are going to PC and most third party ones are already there, why should I buy a console from them? The custom controllers are also kinda cool. I'm really liking what I'm seeing from the new Zelda game, It looks to have some interesting mechanics that should be fun to mess around with. I'll definitely be buying it. I'm still really curious about their new console though. I wish they'd give us something meaningful on it but oh well, it'll happen eventually I suppose. Also: I CAN'T WAIT!
