The Blackangel

Sounds kinda like Whoppers.

Huh? What the hell are those?

Whether you have a president, prime minister, or monarchy, what is the proper way to refer to your government leader? Here in the states, we refer to the president as Mr. President. Since we have our first female president/vice president it would be Madam President/Vice President. There is almost always a “proper” way to refer to them that’s appropriate for this day and age. I can’t say I know much of anything about a monarchy, but I would venture to guess that people don’t refer to them as “Your Majesty” or “Your Highness” anymore. With a prime minister, I honestly don’t have a damn clue. I know Canada has a prime minister, but I don’t know how they refer to him/her. And correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Canada a British territory, the way Puerto Rico is to the US? Also, shithead isn’t a valid answer.

A couple days ago I got back into playing Castlevania SOTN. I've pretty much been binging on it. I haven't had my PS3 running in quite a while, and decided to boot it up again.

While I personally DESPISE Tetris, there’s no denying that the game is extremely popular with a huge and very dedicated fan base. Give a monkey a banana and he’ll make a split.

I grew up on the 2600, Colecovision, and then the Nintendo systems starting with the NES. I was also a Sega gamer. There were other companies in the mix later, but that’s just where I got started into gaming. All that rambling taken care of, a company coming back 40 years later and releasing a game for their original console that released in 1977, just seems weird as hell to me.

I think a lot of people liked the PSP for the same reason I initially did. Because you could watch movies on it. I was much more interested that than the actual gaming experience. But you never know. The PS Portal could be some kind of a test run, while an actual handheld is in R&D right now, this very minute.

Personally, I think Nintendo shot themselves in the foot after releasing the Switch. There have been home consoles and portables in the past, all over gaming. But a hybrid system like the Switch has kinda left them nowhere to go. Unless they pick one or the other between portable and home, I can see them going the way of Atari and Sega to just making games and no more consoles. But that’s a narrow minded, pessimistic prediction. Realistically speaking though, considering the size and power Nintendo has, they will never go down. I just honestly don’t know what’s left for them to do if they want to keep doing something completely different from the others. If their next console could have some more intense and powerful processors, that would surely put them at the forefront of the pack.

I got in about an hour of RDR2 a couple days ago. I’m going through a burn out phase right now. So I haven’t been gaming except for randoms on my iPad.

It all depends what you’re gaming on. For example, with today’s games, the graphics are crucial. But if you go back 30+ years, the graphics aren’t all that important. If you’re gaming on an NES, which for those who don’t know, is an 8-bit system, the graphics aren’t super important. If you look at Atari games, which were 2-bit graphics, they DEFINITELY didn’t matter. But the modern games require the most lifelike graphics available. If they didn’t have those graphical standards, companies could lose billions. They have to keep up with the times. Just look at the difference between RDR1 and RDR2.

Ave I’m curious about your screen name. Is it an acronym? It’s interesting nonetheless. Ave

This is one of the best Kpop songs I’ve ever heard. Not to mention that Hyuna is FUCKING GORGEOUS!

This is just weird. Gamers of today mostly don't even know of the existence of Atari. The ones born in the 90's through the 21st century, anyway. Would people be having the same reaction if Nintendo released a new game for the NES? I highly doubt it. As, once again, the younger gamers of today don't even know what an NES is. In my opinion, it's a waste of time, unless they're releasing a new Atari to go with it.

Considering all the handheld systems that Nintendo has had, and that Sony is just as big, there could easily be another PlayStation handheld. I doubt that we'll see one any time soon, but it's entirely possible.

Aside from my nachos with heavy jalapeño's? I always get Raisinettes. I love chocolate covered raisins. Also with no teeth on bottom (literally) that's not a whole lot that I can actually chew.

No it's not wrong. That is exactly what the android I had was like. Do not tell me it's wrong when you didn't own or use my phone.

After feeling like hammered shit for the past week and a half, I took a covid test just now and it was positive. So we're going to be in quarantine for the next two weeks while I get past this. It sucks ass, but there's not much I can do about it. I got the vaccine and the boosters, so there's that upside. But nothing is foolproof. So I'm going to be resting for the most part of the next few weeks. I had a feeling I was going to catch it at some point, I just didn't know when. @Shagger and @DC it's going to be pretty much up to you guys for the next couple of weeks. I'll try to dip in and out and keep up with things here. But I don't know how much of that I'll be able to do.

This is about nicknames, not screen names. Unless your screen name is a name that many people know you as. That said, I think pretty much everyone has at one time or another. I still have my nickname, which is Panda. I got that name because of my love of bamboo. It's an amazing plant, that I am simply mesmerized by. When we eat Chinese, I always have to get a lot of bamboo chutes in it. When we're at the zoo, I chew on bamboo leaves the entire time. The leaves can be sharp, but they taste so awesome. With The Blackangel, many people have known me by that name for more than 20 years. People often ask me why I have the name, and I always tell them to just get to know me and it will make itself clear. Everyone who has gotten to know me says it's completely accurate.

I never really went for a specific game for Halloween. But this year, I'm going to play Layers Of Fear: Legacy. It's one of the greatest horror games ever made and it a total mindfuck.

I would say pretty much any game based on a horror movie. While they may be fun to play, they're usually pretty shitty. For the record, I LOVE HORROR GAMES!

That's the Light Boy. I had one as well, but it never really made much difference. The magnifier was usually more of a problem than a help. The light was so damn dim that it usually just put a glare on the screen. It was a hell of a lot easier and more beneficial to just hold a small flashlight in your teeth.

I have no idea on that. All I know is that I have the iPhone 12pro, and it uses the same cord that iPhone has always used.

I grew up playing the original Game Boy. But that pea soup green and lack of actual light to play it on was a problem. The biggest problem though, was the rate at which it went through batteries. For that reason alone, I now play on the GBASP. Because I can just plug it in and recharge it.

I’m the exact opposite. I tried an android a few years ago and it did not meet any of my needs. The only thing it could do was text and call. There was no personalizing of any kind. I couldn’t download anything. The battery held no charge. It was just an entire piece of shit. It’s been iPhone only ever since then.
