General Chat / Free Comic Book Day 2017 - Includes A Zelda Comic

« on: May 05, 2017, 06:27:00 PM »

Hi Gang,
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day, Saturday May 6, in North America and possibly other parts of the world.
Here's the website: http://www.freecomicbookday.com/
Of particular interest to denizens of this forum is that there will be a Legend of Zelda related comic available.



That looks cool! I hope I can pick that one up.
Other comics I am interested in include the Riverdale and Betty & Veronica comics, Bongo (Simpsons), Rick and Morty, Keyser Soze, Captain Canuck, Wonder Woman and maybe a wacky pick that I have no idea about. I don't think I will be able to procure all of those choices but I'll go and see what's what.
There are a couple of locations in my area that are hosting major events and I definitely want to hit those. That'll probably be it for me but they do look like fun!

How 'bout all y'all? Ya gonna go check out Der Comeeks?

With the Switch coming out so soon, I just don't know if I'm ready yet to move on.
I mean, I still have a huge backlog and I'm still not really over the ending of the Eocene Era.

Don't even get me started on the Ancient Egyptians.

Nintendo Gaming / Lego Marvel's Avengers on Wii U - DLC All There?

« on: December 01, 2016, 11:13:55 AM »

Lego Marvel's Avengers is deeply discounted on the Wii U e-shop this week. That's nice.

But before biting, I was trying to figure out of all the DLC that other versions got is also available on Wii U. I have found it surprisingly hard to tell.
It seems like most of the DLC is there but maybe not all of it.

So, friends, I thought I'd just ask.
Do you have this game? Do you like it? Do you know anything about the DLC question?

Thanks in advance.
-Fatty.

Nintendo Gaming / Disney"s Magical World Help

« on: April 12, 2014, 08:29:08 PM »

I think my game might be broken.
I have to help the Chancellor find the King's "Card". I can't find it anywhere.
At the same time, a girl has asked for a Mickey ears hat. I have now had two of them made but can not seem to give them to her. Whenever I talk to her, she just says she can't wait to see what I come up with.


I have tried everything I can think of. Nothing is advancing me in the game.


Any help?

Not rounded and pink
As you probably think
But grey, with long ears, and ate grass

General Gaming / What Is Your Favourite Gaming System of the Last Generation

« on: November 28, 2013, 12:51:16 PM »

A comment in another thread from one of our prominent Forum members (reproduced below) inspired me to create this thread.

Now that the new video-gaming generation is in full swing, tell us what is your favourite "gaming system" (includes both home console and handheld) of the gaming generation just passed? Why?

We already know Khush's:

I've said it before it and I'll say it again. As far as I'm concerned, the DS was the best system of the last generation. If I had to choose between a Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, DS, or PSP, DS would be an easy choice for me.

I still have to think about mine but in the meantime, I'll try to add a poll. I am not planning on including smartphones or iPads and the like but will if there is demand.


Edit: Poll is up. I added PC. What do you think of that choice?

General Gaming / Free No Khushi: Wrath of the White Witch (PS3 Exclusive RPG)

« on: July 18, 2013, 12:18:29 PM »

Has anyone played this game?
It is on sale right now in Canada for $29.99 (again) and I am thinking of picking it up. But I haven't heard anyone around here talking about it, and you know how I love you guys.


It is a collaboration between Level 5 and Studio Ghibli so, by pedigree, it should have some measure of quality, whatever that means.


So, what's the scoop? Worth it? Long? Short? Grindy? Balanced? Fun?
Anyone?

Nintendo Gaming / Mario Golf Delayed - What FREE SUPER Features Would You want To See?

« on: June 13, 2013, 03:17:35 PM »

It has been announced that Mario Gold World Tour for 3DS has been delayed until 2014. Plenty of time to chat about what features we'd like to see included and, who knows, maybe start a MiiVerse campaign to try and influence some of those decisions.


I haven't played any of these titles but I hear rumblings that folks like some sort of RPG elements? How would those be incorporated?


What about characters? Power-ups? Course themes? Minigames?


How about different co-op modes like a "Texas Scramble" or something?


Online play would be nice. Would you prefer simultaneous or a-synchronous? What about teams and rankings and leaderboards?


Here's something: I wouldn't mind playing an online co-op mode where I am someone's "caddy" Not just for club selection but maybe I could do some sort of action once the shot was taken to influence the shot direction or speed or something? Maybe if I am quick enough, I could save the shot from going in the rough or sand or water? Maybe I could sabotage the other team's shots like in the Guitar Hero 5 Roadie Battle mode?


What would you like to see?

General Gaming / What Pre-Order Bonus Would Get You to Commit?

« on: January 11, 2013, 02:29:27 PM »

If there's a soundtrack involved for a game I know I want, I'll usually bite. (I didn't with Radiant Historia, to my regret). But most other pre-order bonuses don't really interest me. I got a nifty T-shirt once for Lego Indiana Jones that my son wore for awhile but he's older now, so that's not going to happen. In game items seem sort of interesting but not enough to make me want to pay day 1 retail price. Figurines, posters and art books do not motivate me at all.


So, what about you? What pre-order bonuses make you foam and drool and rush to the nearest retailer to plonk down you five bucks?

General Chat / Water Spilled on the MacBook Air

« on: May 23, 2012, 12:23:19 AM »

last night my daughter spilled some water on her new MacBook Air. Now it no working. It wont power on.
I have just immersed the thing in a sealed containder of uncooked rice to see if that will dry it out in a couple of days. Any other suggestions? I am not holding my breath.
I have already called the Apple store and they advised to book a diagnostic appointemnt (after trying the rice trick which they did not officially endorse, of course). They indicated the likely repair bill could be in the hundreds.
In the immortal words of Jar Jar Binks, any help here would be hot.
Anyone? Brandogg?

The RFN Drinking Game

Over the past few years, I have listened to the majority of RFN episodes with the “Big 4” (Jonny, Jon, James and Greg), both new and archived.
