The Blackangel

I have little to no interest in the new consoles coming out. I highly doubt that with one, possibly two, exceptions I won’t even have any games in my sights. I’m a God Of War fan, and Castlevania fan. Castlevania has kinda slacked iff in recent years, but I still enjoy the older games. Eventually everyone will be playing their PS15’s and I’ll still be playing my PS3. Assuming my crippled ass is still alive at that point.

The only way this could apply to me, is if one that I got off eBay took longer to arrive than it should have for whatever reason.

Streaming does more good for a company than bad. It shows a lot of the technical prowess, and personal opinions of the game being streamed. But that game, while it may not be the streamers personal favorite, may become the biggest thing since SMB or Zelda. I only see positive things coming from streaming.

So far Switch hasn’t reached the GameBoy/GBA situation yet. All the games released so far can be played equally on either the Switch or Switch Lite.

It all depends on how I ended up with the game in the first place and what system it’s for. For example I buy bundles a lot. Sometimes it’s for one thing and comes with a lot of extra stuff that I don’t care about. That I let go of. But games that I intentionally buy specifically with intentions of playing, I don’t let go, whether I ever play them or not. For example I have ES: Oblivion. I’ve never once even gotten it in the vicinity of my PS3. There are more games than just that one in my collection that are in the same boat. From Atari to PS4/Xbox One, I have probably 300 games total. There’s more than 100 at least that combine games that I’ve either never played yet, or not played in a very long time. But I’m not getting rid of them. Who knows, maybe I’m just a hoarder and don’t realize it yet.

By far my favorite game on Switch is Goblin Sword. It's a simple side scroller, and so far beyond fun, that you can't regret buying it. And for those that love the Sega Genesis graphics style, you'll love it that much more. I've always been a Nintendo chick, but I still love this game.

I buy a lot of digital downloads through the eStore, but I don't do anything with cloud. I would love to be able to play NES and SNES games on my Switch, but not so much that I'm going to pay a monthly subscription fee.

Sports games were pretty big back then. You actually controlled the team/athlete. It was real instead of scripted and fake. Also you didn't have to go through so much training, or specs. For a large part, interest in sports games has waned a bit, but stayed fairly even. A lot of people play FIFA and American Football like crazy. I play any snowboarding game I can get my hands on. Racing games are still big as hell. I also have a few hockey games, as I'm a major hockey nut. I'm actually jonesing to watch a game at the moment. College, minor leagues, or NHL, I don't care. As long as a sport has fans, there will always be games, both retro and current that have a fanbase.

Zelda A Link To The Past (SNES)

I'm sitting here bored out of my mind, and thought something like this might get interesting to pass the time. basically it's a fake fight where people argue about petty things. Not seriously arguing, but just goofing around. Something like how people in the UK say Mum, and Americans say Mom. Goofy shit like that. Keep it light however, this isn't intended to become an actual fight, but it's supposed to look like one. Any of you assholes wanna take me on?😈

Straight to the point. Does anyone have it, and is it worth the money?

I remember it. I can’t say I watched it much, but it was fun to watch them panic when they realized they were busted. I may be a sociopath, but they are the sick freaks.

Goblin Sword.

I’ve been playing the third dungeon for almost a fucking year. It’s the third dungeon of the Zelda ROM-hack Goddess Of Wisdom. I finally beat the god damn thing tonight. This “game” is way too fucking hard. There’s a difference between a challenge, and a “fuck you” to the gamer. But am I done? Not until I beat it or have a brain hemorrhage, whichever comes first. I’m too stubborn to quit until I’ve beaten it at least once. But I can tell you right now that this damn thing is going right next to DKC afterwards. I can’t play that series due to how much it pisses me off. And the hemorrhage seems to be a real possibility. The difficulty of this game is nuclear. Battletoads is a snoozefest compared to this. I literally got a killer migraine tonight from this game that put me in bed at 6:00. I feel like I want to throw up. This is one of the times that I wish the local hospital had given the green light for their doctors to send applications for medical marijuana cards. I’m at the top of the list, but they’re digging their heels on it. My brain melted playing it tonight. I just hope I have an ice cream carton and a sponge here somewhere. As a word of advice, stay away. It may be an SNES game, but it’s harder than any game you have ever played. I guarantee it. The only reason I’m continuing is because I have to. I’m more hard headed than a chunk of diamond. This game is at such an extremely severe difficulty level that it can be a serious threat to both your physical and psychological health.

There's not a whole lot of information out yet, but it is confirmed that there is another Hellraiser in the works that they're hoping to have released sometime in 2022. They don't have the cast chosen yet, but for the love of the Gods it better be Doug Bradley. He is the ONLY one that can play Pinhead. No one else can pull that character off properly. Hellraiser is a longtime favorite series of mine, until Hellraiser Revelation came out. I refused to watch it because it wasn't Doug Bradley playing Pinhead. He actually refused the role because he felt they had gone too far with the series and that the script was shit. If that's what Pinhead felt about the movie, I'll side with him. From what I gather in the articles I've read, it's supposed to be a remake of the first Hellraiser. Whether it is or not, I don't know. Like I said, not a lot of information has been released yet.

Just booted up FF8 a few seconds ago.

I got Snowboarding The Next Phase a couple days ago. So far it's pretty good. As with most all snowboarding games, the moves are harder to learn than they were in real life, but I'm still enjoying the hell out of it. I miss being a snowboarder.

There are a few games on Switch that I more than highly recommend. 1) Goblin Sword 2) The Way 3) Blasphemous 4) Warlocks 2: God Slayers 5) Tiny Barbarians 6) Thief Simulator 7) Titan Quest Goblin Sword is one of the absolute best games you could ever get. It's a side scroller, but so much fun. I've logged probably more than 100 hours since I bought it and will log many more until I have cleared every area. The Way is another side scroller, but is sci-fi. It's more difficult and trying to figure out things in it, can be really frustrating. But when you figure out what the hell you're supposed to be doing and where you're supposed to go, it's such a rewarding feeling. Those are my top two recommendations. The others I have listed are amazing games as well, but I prefer those two. Also, if you haven't picked it up yet, I recommend getting Zelda: Links Awakening. I've played it since I was a kid on GameBoy, and when it was remastered for Switch I was blown away. There are so many addons, and upgrades, but the story is still the same. It's definitely worth it. If you're into Final Fantasy, I bought a FF7/FF8 dual game cartridge last year. It has the FF8 remaster, but the FF7 is still the original PS1 graphics. But still, it has both games. My girl is a FF7 nut, and I'm a FF8 nut, so it worked out well for both of us. I recently bought Skyrim for Switch as well. I tried playing it on my PS3 originally but it was so buggy it more than pissed me off. So I got it on a much newer system hoping they had fixed the majority of the bugs, and so far it seems they have. So if you're into that, I recommend getting it as well. I can't comment on Xbox, because I'm not a fan of Xbox. I do have a couple games, but can't say I've played them much.

Ok that does it. Now they've gone too damn far.

Sandisk is an American company. Butt this one I’m asking about is anyone’s guess. I think they’re actually part of Kodak or Polaroid. Some kind of camera company. I could be way the hell off on that though.

Fondly.

Does anyone know anything about a card manufacturer called Team? I'm looking into getting a new card for my Switch with more space and came across this one, but don't know anything about them, as I've never heard of them. I'm on a 128g card right now, but as a preemptive strike, I want a bigger card, because I've been downloading a lot of games recently and playing the shit out of them. the one I found is a 512g and at a great price for something that big. I usually go with Sandisk because I know them and know that they're high quality. but as for Team, I know nothing. Here's a pic of the card I saved to post real quick.

It's still leaps and bounds better than right wing nazis banning anyone who isn't a carbon copy of themselves. If that's what someone is after, there's plenty of nazi forums online for them to whine on.

A small desk fan can also help. I've used them in the past and they've never failed me. And while we're on the subject of fans, you need to make sure the fan in your system is clean periodically. If it's caked in dust and/or grime, then it's basically useless and you need to clean it at right then and there.
