Last post by targetrasp - Today at 09:05:35 PMfor a brief moment in time gamestop had exclusive comic book variants. I wasn't able to get them all but I have about a dozen or so.
gamestop variants
most can be had on ebay for 5 - 20 bucks, my favorite is the Amazing Spider-man 1 that's about $30 ungraded, 100 - 150 graded

Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 08:19:55 PMQuote from: targetrasp on Today at 08:11:27 PMI love the physical stuff (giggity), and would lean hard into this type of thing. I got a lot of the stuff when Gamestop was giving away physical exclusives via gamer points and when Nintendo did the club Nintendo I bought a lot more games I probably wouldn't have because they were cheap and had the pin codes.
I know... this is awesome. My son has the game... might have completed the challenges. What physical stuff did you get from Gamestop? It's been awhile since I've turned points into Nintendo to get stuff from game purchases. I scored some really cool stuff back in the DS days when entering the codes for Nintendo points to get physical stuff.

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / DK Challenge journey - collec...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 08:05:25 PMThis ends tonight... However, this is also a really cool concept that I think Nintendo needs to continue to explore. It's also a feature we see on Steam. It's not achievements (yet... Nintendo, you need an achievement system). It is Bonus Cards!
Link: https://my.nintendo.com/news/22938c26f63b8ec8
Description:
Celebrate your DK Challenge journey with a collectible card set inspired by both the colorful world of the Donkey Kong Bananza game and classic Donkey Kong adventures. This physical 39-card set and custom card case is available to eligible participants who complete the entire DK Challenge. No My Nintendo Platinum Points* are required to redeem this reward.
Eligible members who complete the DK Challenge by September 1 at 12:59 a.m. PT will be notified in early October via a My Nintendo news article with instructions on how to claim the reward. This offer is available only to eligible players in the United States.
Card breakdown:
39 cards with individual designs
24 cards featuring challenges in Donkey Kong Bananza
15 cards featuring retro challenges in select Nintendo Classics titles
Now... I think this is cool and digital rewards like this do get people to come back and play games more. However, as you can see, there's also an ability to get a physical card! Now that's cool.
What do you think about this? I'm hoping Nintendo keeps it up and adds to these benefits. Achievement system as well, Nintendo ... ahem.
Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Last post by targetrasp - Today at 08:00:19 PMBio break - frequently seen typed out on WOW raids, haven't seen for years now (although I've not played an MMO since)
smurf - still seemingly used, but clever nonetheless
frag - kinda died after the doom days
zerg - heard it prior to google explaining everything I didn't understand, I think I asked the chat and got called a noob (also slang but I'm not honoring with a mention)

PC Gaming and Platform / Re: Star Wars Zero Company
Last post by targetrasp - Today at 07:52:54 PMI'm cautiously optimistic.
EA's lost a lot of credit in the gaming community and it's not just coming from gaming trolls looking for clicks. They've acquired and shut down great publishers, monopolized sports games and because they had no competition, they seemingly stopped innovating - leading to stagnant crap and have highly disappointed with the latest iterations of battle front and Mass Effect. I'm sure there's more, this is just the stuff I can rattle off.
I want to see things go well, not sure how a Saudi private equity firm and Trump's son-in-law owing 20 B to JP Morgan will keep EA from more of the microtransactions, unfinished / rushed slop, and corner cutting that have been EA's SOP as of the last IDK decade or so?!
The trailer looks cool, but I'm waiting for the public to weigh in to see if it's worth buying.

General Discussion / Gaming Slang over the years
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 07:48:46 PMAlright... there has been a ton of sayings and slang over the years. I think my favorite is still pwned... you just don't see or hear that anymore. There have been other very annoying phrases.
Another one I thought was funny that I've only heard a couple times --> Your face has been rebooted, sucka!
What is your favorite? What was dropped off? What were you happy to see go away? Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Super Mario Sunshine Now on Ni...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 07:44:01 PMThis happened about Mid August... I'm a bit behind... August was a busy busy month. Super Mario Sunshine is now on the Nintendo Gamecube on the Nintendo Switch 2 system... if you have the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion membership.
Link: https://www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/the-next-sun-sational-update-for-nintendo-switch-online-expansion-pack-members-is-here/
Youtube Trailer:
Description:
Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics
Super Mario Sunshine
Dark days on Isle Delfino!
Mario, Peach, and an entourage of Toads have come to Isle Delfino—a sun-drenched island resort—to relax and unwind. At least, that's the plan. But when they arrive, someone has made a mess of the whole island and the inhabitants say Mario is to blame! The falsely accused Mario has promised to clean up the island (and his reputation) and pursue the real culprit along the way as he recovers the vanished energy source of the island, Shine Sprites. Use the trusty FLUDD on Mario's back to tidy up and launch into water-based action, from spraying enemies to flying through the air with powerful streams of water.
Is anyone excited for this? Have you already played it (and I don't mean on Gamecube lol)
