??? this never happened I added World of Darkness, although I'm not sure if that's the right one, as there seems to be more than one tabletop game with that name? I've always been sort of passively interested in that one, but in the face of Numenera or Eclipse Phase, it plays third fiddle.

Haha, I don't have a car, either. Or... a license. Soon a friend will be not in Taiwan anymore, though, and then... Well, anyway. I went ahead and ordered a cheap converter. No big, it's only a few bucks. As long as it works. Which, I have no reason to believe it won't! Unless my Wii is dead. I haven't started it up in... wow, years, I guess.

No, I don't have any friends! ;_;

This is discussed in our Baby Got Backstory thread, but they only APPEAR as sexy human ladies to humans. They appear as sexy krogan ladies to krogans.

You may be right, but that's certainly not how it read. If I were in his shoes, I definitely wouldn't have ended my post with "please buy my game even if you disagree with me also here's a screenshot". But whatever. I'm done posting in here. I'm done posting about this. Byeeeeeee.

I'm super interested in Splatoon, but I worry that its cartoonish exterior will drive people away from what LOOKS like a very fun multiplayer competitive game.

Wow awesome that is quite an evocative trailer.

I made a sweet little hunter lady named Niv and I totally hunted that owl! This is a game I can see myself pouring way too many hours into. ):

I think... maybe we should keep a list of who's interested, and an Available Time for those people, too, so that we can figure out when this stuff is going to happen, if it does (and it will, or else!). I've done that now, as well as added the three settings Merus said he could run. If anyone else is interested running a game*, throw out your settings of choice. I've never had an experience above five people (including DM), but I've heard from various DMs/GMs/WhateverMs that anything above that becomes unmanagable. So far (in this thread) only Merus has expressed interest in actually running the game, so it's probably up to him what size group we'd be doing. Re: Goofiness: I definitely tend to play goofier than most people I've played with, but I don't know if I've ever asked a dragon how it's day had been. O: (Also I assumed your inquiry, SBM, was an implicit expression of interest - if it wasn't, I'll remove you from the initial post). *I'd love to try running a game some day... but I have no confidence in my ability to do so well. D: EDIT: Also, go ahead and say which settings you'd be interested in! Personally, I'd love to move away from standard fantasy fare, but also I'll always have a soft spot for dragons and magic, so if that's what everyone else wants, it's fine with me. Both Numenera and Eclipse Phase sound super interesting.

NO

That... actually sounds entirely reasonable compared to the uproar I'm recalling. Can I actually download it from the eShop, too, or can I only transfer what's already downloaded? I know that seems like a silly question, but as far as I can tell, there's no way to access the old Wii Shop from the Wii U? Thanks! I was thinking maybe I could get a component-to-HD converter and that might be better/cheaper than a Wii-specific one (but yet again I am totally ignorant in this area). But as for easier solutions, not that I know of. Unless I borrow somebody's TV. I can't navigate the Wii without seeing the screen!! Yasawas: Cool, thanks for the info! At least I know I won't have to go back to stock firmware. Wouldn't have any problem doing so, but it'd be a hassle for sure.

I know this isn't the OG Wii thread, but I figured I'd ask here (and it's conveniently relevant to the syn's post complaining about bullshit Nintendo policies)... I don't have a monitor/screen with a component port for my Wii. I'd like to move all my Wii purchases to my Wii U. So I need an HDMI converter, which is inconveniently more than a few bucks, but I'm not going to get a real TV for a while still, soooo, you know. Anybody have an HDMI converter for Wii? Is there such thing as a poor-quality one that I should worry about? Or should I just go cheapest I can find? I can imagine a converter that corrupts the signal and makes it really shitty, but I don't know. I'd love to play my older VC purchases on Wii U controller. Speaking of... does that cost money? I think I remember reading back when the Wii U was released that there was a conversion fee... Gosh I sure hope not! EDIT: Oh, and I long ago modded my Wii (specifically to be able to turn off dumb annoying text boxes in Skyward Sword U: ). Is... is that going to be a problem?

Bought this! Downloaded it this morning. Haven't played it, yet. Think I'm about to, though!

I've warmed on it even more since my last post as I caught up on the latest two episodes I hadn't seen. Parasyte is really good if you're at all interested in what it's trying to do. Weird body horror, in particular. Love it! Haven't been keeping up with many currently-airing anime (same as last season, really - watching a lot of older anime instead, because I won't have to wait for the newer episodes!), besides that, and now I'm watching ep 3 of Denki-Gai. It's yet another good implementation of slice-of-life comedy anime, and the setting is different enough from the usual that I don't see myself getting bored with it.

In the past five minutes I've come to realize that this is what I should have done. I'm sorry for writing my post. It was unnecessary in the grand scheme of things. I know that I'm belligerent and unyielding in my disgust for this "movement" and it shows every time I talk about it on these forums (and elsewhere, though of course you people don't have to deal with it elsewhere! - except for those of you cool enough to hang out in the IRC channel!!!). I'm not going to do it again.

His original post was paragraphs long. If nobody had responded in kind, it would've been the "cherry-picking" he so hates Anita for. Which, ironically, he did when responding to my post! Besides that, I said a lot of things I felt others hadn't addressed, whether because they disagreed with me or just didn't want to address it. And also, before he dropped the "I'm not going to talk about this anymore k bye" line, there were two long posts. Mine and Bjorn's. The rest were incredibly short and even thankful to him for taking the time to explain his position (which was "no I'm moderate though so it's okay don't hate me (also buy my game)"). At any rate, I don't really think that guy was arguing in good faith in the first place. I think he came here to beg people to please still consider buying his game. So I'm not going to have trouble sleeping at night.

Yeah you're probably right. Oh well.

When I got coffee on HALLOWEEN my cup was Christmas Decorated and I WAS SO MAD*. *I don't actually give a shit.

Yeah Christmas music legitimately makes me wish Christmas was just over. It's the worst goddamn thing humanity's ever invented.

That... seems really stupid. How do they not have perfect control over what's being simulated through the Animus after fifty games? Rule of Cool I guess. If anyone thinks that's cool. I might think it was if it wasn't all a simulation in the first place within the world of Assassin's Creed. Not-quite-fiction within fiction. "You need to get out of there!" Do I, really? This is just a glorified Virtual Reality based on my "genetic memory". I think I'm good.

I've been strongly considering playing it for a while now!

Which you can get rid of, anyway, by editing the HTML file. EDIT: Oops just realized you might not be referring to the "this build is beta" text on the webpage. NEVERMIND.

Ugh, see, this is why I didn't want to have that incredibly stupid argument about the word "gamer" because that's now all he focused on in his response. It was really such a minor point but you went and made it a big one, juv3nal! Shame on you! SHAME! I'm kidding. Or am I?! SHAME!!! Welp. Whatever. Another lost cause.

If that's how you choose to look at it, go right ahead. I'm not going to stop. Too bad!

Hahaha. that's beautiful.
