There's a new marvel game?

Anyone get Splatoon?
No, but I'll have it soon. Maybe after class today.

Remember, ladies and gentleman, half-asians don't count as POC apparently.
(Chloe Bennett, ie Chloe Wang, is half-chinese both in real life and her character's mother was portrayed by an asian actress before she was offed for being the big bad).
<sigh>.

Well, for what it's worth, I'm half-Filipino/half-white and I look mixed.
I haven't met many mixed Asians who look full white. Most of the time, If one is half-and-half, they're going to look mixed.

I do! It's like one of those crack games where the short play intervals make you feel like you can get just one more game in, and the next thing you know it's 4AM.
Now I feel like playing the game again, but I'm stuck here at work being a code monkey.

If you live or will visit NYC soon, the MET currently has a cool exhibit up right now. China: Through the looking glass.
" This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery."
Went last weekend and it was really cool. Will try to post pictures up. You have till August 16.

Anyone here playing the Witcher 3? I'm kinda blown away at the level of detail in quality content packed in this game.

I completely missed all the Aloha bashing and that makes me sad, even though I love Emma Stone.
Spent the weekend at my friend's wedding, which was an Indian/Western mix. Was ridiculously fun, as both sides liked to party. Also made me think about how strange it is that Indians are lumped into the Asian category. I didn't know this until college I think. Indian customs seem as different from Chinese customs as Western customs are. Although I'm not sure if having the wedding after party devolve into a 2 hour arm wrestling competition comes from the Indian side or the Western side.
Maybe the Chinese side because I started it by accusing someone of having pretty boy muscles that serve no purpose.
I know for sure that ending the night with everyone singing Bohemian Rhapsody transcends all cultures.

Third one is pretty good; and it's not insanely hard like the second one.

Not yet, but I'm planning to. I haven't had much time for gaming recently.-looks around-
Anyone get Splatoon?
I kind of am. I'm only about an hour into it, though. I've never played the first two and don't really plan to.
It's also an open world game that rewards you for not fast traveling because you'll just randomly bump into cool stuff while riding down the road on your horse. Also the sidequests are so meaty that you'll actually get sidetracked if you take on most sidequests.
Yeah, I spent over 17 years in Hawaii from the time I was born until I left for college, and I never once met a hapa person that had blonde hair and green eyes.

Scary stuff. I was on a similar cruise in China on the same river just two weeks ago.
Gonna hijack this.
I got partway through the Witcher 1 but stopped because I wasn't having fun. I've heard the Witcher 2 is better in that regard (and I have it, too, because of darn Steam sales), but I don't want to play it because I haven't finished the first one. Do I need to finish the first one in order to understand what's going on in the second?

Seriously...almost every nook and cranny leads you down an interesting path. And that Blood Baron sidequestline...damn...
fistpound- I loved the story in the original Witcher and was lukewarm to Witcher 2. In Witcher 1,
the whole Alvin twist and reveal blew my mind.
It's hard for me to recommend Witcher to anybody even though it's a personal favorite. The game requires you to stomach a wonky combat system and a large investment of time before it gets good. But it pays it back in spades.
I played DA3...Without spoiling anything, the smallest sidequests in Witcher 3 feel like meaningful content whereas that's not really the case in DA3.
Not really. They're all pretty self contained and I think there are videos you can watch that summarize the main plots. I'd say the same with Witcher 3 in regards to Witcher 2 and Witcher.
By the way, where'd you stop in Witcher 1?
I want to add all three of you if possible. Are your Nintendo IDs in that Google doc in the Splatoon OT?
Maybe I'll give Witcher 2 a try soon, then. Anything I should know before jumping in?
I don't remember what the area is called, but
it's the first area inside the actual city. I was mostly done with most of the quests in the area and I just had to find a tower of some sorts for a private investigator.
There's a HP post that made me SUPER curious about what houses y'all would be in.
(If you like HP!)
Where did Pottermore sort you? What House do you think you would have been sorted into?
I want to see where everyone is
I got Ravenclaw because I'd be the "I need ALL THE MAGIC" person. Combining spells in combat to make a unique fighting style and automating a lot of tedious processes using magic. Knowledge seems ideal in a magic-based world.

That's where I took a long hiatus too. I just remember being overwhelmed with a bunch of quests. Funny thing is, once you get over that initial quest overflow, the
Vizima investigations

Hufflepuff here 🙋
I haven't really touched handheld gaming since the DS, so I didn't get into PADZ + Mario.
The 3DS has a really nice library now, but I still don't think I'd get into it with so many other things on full-scale PC/console titles when at home, and all mobile gaming has been replaced with mobile phones.

3 R, 1 H, 0 S (StMeph you should be S), and 0 G.
Make it 4 R.
I wonder what choices determine Ravenclaw.
Must be the books.

Your Result: RAVENCLAW

Congratulations! You have been sorted into Ravenclaw, the house of intelligence, curiosity, individualism, and wit. You are amongst other Ravenclaws, such as: Cho Chang, and Luna Lovegood.
68%GRYFFINDOR!
58%HUFFLEPUFF!
42%SLYTHERIN!
I thought I'd ask, since you're still using your Valkyrie avatar. I personally quit all mobile games. Fuck them. I'd rather a PAD that can end.

I actually got my New 3DS strictly for Xenoblade. Then, you know, PAD Z happened.

Oh yeah, concerning the Harry Potter ride, I don't want to set your expectations high, but it's probably the best ride currently existing. It's like a combination of Haunted Mansion, Soarin' Over California, and Indiana Jones, and it's better than any ride at any Disney, Universal, or Six Flags parks.
I also say this as a non-fan, since I never even read the books.

Ravenclaw for me. Hufflepuff was next closest.

Woah, I didn't realise there was a thread about how Hufflepuff would be the best house!!!
That's sort of very un-Hufflepuff like to me...XD
Um... I dunno I think more like Tonks maybe, ... But really more like the side characters that didn't even get named... .____.;;;;
Mario Party is the only game where the worst player at the game wins the game.
(Mario Party isn't a game.)
I don't actually play PAD much, but it's hard to drop the/mai waifu.
