I mean, if BoTW can be so highly anticipated despite us wishing it could look far better, then people can get just as hyped for a Pokemon game built from the ground up for the Switch, even if it doesn't match what's in our heads lol
Guess we gotta wait for E3 or something, I dunno. Meanwhile I'll just ride the drought with PS4 games I guess...
Is that too much? I mean I can see people wanting to make that trek to find that rare Pokemon out in the boonies. It's not as much as a stretch I guess if you don't call it open world.

it's not even out yet
Last I checked, I could still walk through tall grass in a nearby forest without being attacked by an electric mouse
You'll certainly feel a shock when you get infected with rabies by a oppossum though.
I obviously meant as far as what people would want and are jazzed for. I didn't say it was good.
No oppossum's here, unfortunately. Guess I'll have to travel to find me one and capture it. In the meanwhile I'll go see if I can capture a cougar or bear cub to start my team. Or maybe a raccoon or a marmot. The marmot's are pretty endangered tho
That dude punching a Bellsprout to death is a certain level of brutality I wasn't prepared for
That's the thing about fan theories--they're usually wrong.
Would be cool, but I dunno. They're pretty weird about the forced tensions around it. They should just do and say fuck it. Open up the world and their options a bit.
I never realized there were that many distinguishing characteristics between marmots...

The most I'm willing to entertain that theory is that maybe it's a NG+ thing, but even then I wouldn't hold my breath.
I mean, I guess if I were going to make her playable, I'd make that shit a big ass secret for the lols, because you know everyone will go crazy over it once they find out.
But then you got fans harping on every little thing, thinking it magically suggests that she is, and I'm just like... No. Do not get your hopes up lol
She'll accompany us at best, as truly nothing allows me to comfortably entertain the thought of us getting to play as her. I mean hell, we see in this game that we can come across people fighting monsters on their own, so I would sooner say that Zelda would be more like that, rather than her turning out to be playable like we playing Witcher 3 lol
When I look at people's posts and what not, it basically just comes down to "It's 2017, of course they'd finally let us play as her"

Like they forget the game has been in development for years.
She will be playable for a specific section where she has to bust Link out of prison and that is all. Calling that now.

To make the MMORPG a rogue like?
Only if there is destructibility on pokeballs when used. Chance of fatal real world re-entry increases with usage.
That's crazy that there wasn't an option for that in settings.
In case you missed this in the thread, David Young takes a crack at it as well.
Also one of many germane highlights in the article.

It really is.
And i get that. But having the option to turn it off wouldn't hurt them.

FlyQuest overpaid for their roster, plain and simple. Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Wesley Edens purchased the spot previously owned by Cloud9 Challenger for $1.8 million and then later acquired contract rights to four of the players of that team for another $700,000. The roster of An "Balls" Van Le, Hai "Hai" Du Lam, Johnny "Altec" Ru and Daerek "LemonNation" Hart is manageable and likely won't come in last place, but frankly, $700,000 is a bucketload of money that could've been spent in better ways during the offseason if Edens and his team had moved earlier. - via ESPN
Man these NBA guys buying into League of Legends, must be because of the Staples Center matches and the sheer numbers for the game

Good morning all.
I had leg day at the gym.
I think I'll be working from my home office today and hopefully I can also find time to update my resume and linkedin since it needs sprucing. Anyone taken the GMAT before? I think I'll be taking mine early this summer

GAF is just glorious sometimes
I could see Zelda being playable in brief interludes during the story. Like you control her in 3 or 4 missions in between whatever Link is doing. That seems like something Nintendo would do.
It's not going to happen though. The clue is that Zelda has voice acting and Link doesn't.

Morning folks.
Nintendo has their fans by the balls. I mean damn.

I truly believe that many see Nintendo as the last bastion of hope for true gaming experiences. Whatever that means. Like DD SSID, fandoms are terrible things

Its not just Ninty.
These Trumpers are making my blood boil. Fucking "Get over it?"
Like the orange fuck didn't come at 3/4ths of the entire country?
They're fucking idiots I swear, and even worse, they're fucking cowards. Smile in your goddamn face but wouldn't dare say the bullshit they spew online IRL.
Fucking lookie loos
I just like Nintendo games. They have the best First Party titles.

Just know that these "get over it" idiots will never share their opinion outside of the internet or in their [more than likely] homogenous town.

Same, mornin!
Sup fool.
Just imagine the anarchy is all I'm saying.
The real victims are they regular gaming fans who fell for this shit too. Don't get me wrong I'm excited for some of the games coming out, but man I was all in on the "all Nintendo devs will be focused on this solely"

I want to know how you guys feel about the "Talented Tenth" philosophy. The notion that it is ~1 out of every 10, and that it is always a man; will be the leaders of the race.
It's seems very paternalistic and dismissive but I haven't read into it but I reject the notion that it is always going to be a small percentage (10%) of men leading the race.
WEB wrote about it more than a century ago and I want to read more into to see how it aged.

Offset, Quavo, and Takeoff are all apart of the talented tenth

It's the one thing I absolutely hate about DuBois tbh. Rings false, is pretty damn sexist, and has never looked that way practically.
It's the Great Man Theory. Which has never been true.
iirc he also believed that American black folks were civilized and superior to African blacks. Not that I don't forgive the ignorance and colorism when science and history (especially then) bended towards white supremacy. I'm more interested in the ideas of contemporary leaders, some things need to be left in the past.
I just like Nintendo games and they have a pretty cool stable of franchises. Yeah they do make some bone headed decisions from time to time that I dont get paid to make excuses for but at the end of the day i'm getting a switch sooner than later. It's really that simple

I never heard of the Great Man Theory before, but doing a very very small amount of googling it does just look like a copy+paste job with a few [insert]>"African-American" and [delete]>Europe(an)
Roy throwing hands, we are truly the darkest timeline
Folks need help
It should imagine a console Pokemon done right. They can start at blue and red, and every six months sell a new region with the new pokemon
Folks don't get it because they don't want to.
Word. They have a vested interest in white supremacy. I can only hope that some of the good ones are observing the white reactionaries cutting a fool in that thread, and that they may do some introspection. Not that they'll divest themselves of whiteness.

All of this.
And I'd actually respect them a tiny bit if they just admitted that it was in their best interest in white supremacy continuing and that's that. At least I know where you stand and more importantly, they admit to themselves that's where they stand, as opposed to all this white moderate shit that muddies the waters.
