NWR Forums Discord / Re: Off-Topic Wise-Ass Comments About Other NWR Forum Threads And Also Other Stuff

« on: April 23, 2015, 12:48:22 AM »

I just thought of an amazing feature for forums.  A "mute" feature.  You mute the poster, but they don't know they're muted.  On their end, everything looks normal.  To everyone else, no one actually sees anything they post.  If they reply to a post, it doesn't appear bumped.  If they start a thread, no one sees it.

It's like a ban, but none of the drama associated with it.

They don't believe I'm UncleBob.

I've had this name longer then Facebook has been a thing.  I had to send in some documents to show that this is a name that I actually go by.

I don't know if it's going to work, but I sent in photos of magazine subscription labels from 2004 and 2008 (Yay Nintendo Power!), a fan-club membership (that expired in 2004) and an autographed CD from a musician I'm a fan of, a work ID with UncleBob on it, a business card I made to promote my StreetPass group (that has our Facebook address and photos of me on it), a package I recently received from China, a package I recently received from Walmart, a land deed/license for UncleBob, then my Driver's License (which, sadly, has my real name on it) next to my 3DS showing my Mii.

Grr.  I totally am UncleBob.

Actually...  My last-played were some Tingle games awhile ago.  It's possible you hit an older version of me (older version of Mii?) via the Nintendo Zone crazy.

Yeah.  SPP is *not* worth the $5 upgrade (in spite of the fact I did it.  four times.)

Dear Nintendo - add these in, would ya?

More maps:  Why are there countries without maps?  Why are there weird countries I've never heard of and no global map to show me where they're at?  Every country should have a map with a globe showing me where the country is - I'm American, damnit.  I don't know geography.

Fix the ten limit.  Skylanders Trap Team did an amazing job with this.  The limit is 99.  However, you can only 'import' ten of those at a time.  Let me do the same thing with StreetPass Plaza.  I hate geting 10 StreetPasses when I go out - because that means I may have missed other StreetPasses.  This is made worse by the fact if I go through a Nintendo Zone or two (say, a mall or such) - fake StreetPasses could fill up my queue and I could be missing out on real StreetPasses.  Boo!

Tell me what *kind* of StreetPass I just got.  It tells me if the Mii is "invited" from another game, but it'd be nice if you could tell me if that StreetPass is a fake Nintendo Zone one vs. a real, actual StreetPass.  Combine this with things like International StreetPass week - did I *really* pass someone from Germany, or was that from a Nintendo Zone?  I don't know.

Give me pink pieces!  All premium users are guaranteed a pink starting piece when new puzzles come out.  Ideally, those who pay for premium are those who StreetPass a lot - so use them to spread the pink wealth.

Is third time the charm or will it be another late game collapse?

General Chat / Re: Where to I go to see if a collector would be interested in my Game Boy?

« on: April 15, 2015, 02:27:38 PM »

eBay.

Unless there's something super-special about your Game Boy (remember, they sold MILLIONS of these), one (or more) of your titles are rare, or stuff is still sealed or mint in box, you're probably not going to be buying a new car off this.  Without knowing the games or condition of anything, I'd say you'd probably get $10 for the system and $5 per game (on average).  Again, if the games are more popular or rare/uncommon titles, or stuff comes with boxes/manuals/etc., you might be able to bump that up.  If the system is in rough shape, the games are super-common junk, labels are torn, etc., plan to deduct from that $70 estimate.

General Gaming / Board/Card Games that would translate well to Video Game format.

« on: April 12, 2015, 08:58:10 PM »

Yesterday was International TableTop day.  I had fun at my FLGS - and I hope you did too!

Anyway, I got to thinking - we always get a version of Monopoly on virtually every console.  There's often a chess/checkers game of some type released.  Various card games.  Uno was a big hit for XBL.

So, what are some board/card games you'd like to see get a digitized release?

I played Forbidden Island yesterday and it was a load of fun.  I'd have to play it more, but I think it would translate well into a digital version.

Also a fan of Revolution and it would make a great DS title, for online or local play.

Great movie.  Best thing you could hope for: cheesy one-liners, over the top action, impossible stunts, hot chicks, physics defamation.  AND more!

9/10

You know, I enjoy the F&F movies for what they are.  And I usually have to turn off my brain for them, and generally manage to do so.

But the scene where the Rock busts out of his cast... I couldn't take it.  I seriously broke out laughing in the theater at that.  I was amused.

Going outside?  That makes no sense at all.  We need to say inside the building with all the crazies and the constant explosions that cause us to constantly go higher up into the building where there's a lesser chance of escaping.  It's a good plan, guys, I promise.  Just step around those charred chunks of exploded brain and follow me up this narrow staircase to the next floor.
