The Blackangel

No Zelda or Mario.

Considering that almost no one today even knows what the hell Atari even is, I highly doubt it. Millennials usually don’t know what anything preceding the Wii/PS3/Xbox 360 era is. And most don’t care to find out. So I don’t see Atari making any comebacks of any kind. Unless they go as a developer like Sunsoft or Rockstar.

Obviously, there’s a hell of a lot of Nintendo fans here. Some havenn’t played anything older than the Wii U. Others, like myself, have been playing Nintendo since it hit the market. For this list you can’t pick the obvious answers. No Zelda. No Mario. I would give this to Blaster Master. It’s hard to explain exactly why, but every time I started it up, I was able to find something new. Even though the levels never changed and always stayed in the same layout. It gave me a real feeling of accomplishment doing even the smallest of things. It’s just a massively important game to me.

Everyone here knows I’m almost exclusively a classic gamer. Actually, the only recent game that I actually play is RDR2. Games that I enjoy on NES are really special to me. Many of which almost no one has heard of. Here’s a few on my NES games I personally love: King’s Knight Legacy Of The Wizard A Boy And His Blob Astyanax Hydlide Wizards And Warriors Here’s a few on my SNES games that stand out: Blackthorne The Legend Of The Mystical Ninja Warlock Wild C.A.T.S Drakken Also a few Super Scope games. All of these games really stood out to me. They gave me the opportunity to be a heroine and actually matter. There’s a couple on this list that may not be particularly obscure, but I listed them because in all my years, I’ve never heard anyone talk about them. What are your picks?

For me, two games come to mind. Blaster Master and Legacy Of The Wizard. Blaster Master was almost impossible to beat. For example, the entrance to Area 4 was hidden in Area 1. The entrance to Area 7 was hidden in Area 2. In Area 5, you’re forced to leave Sophia 3rd and swim the whole damn way. Some of the bosses were damn near invincible. ESPECIALLY the Plutonium Boss. Luckily there’s no time limit or worry of drowning. Legacy Of The Wizard is a whole different story. The plot of the game is to find 4 crowns to awaken a sleeping dragon so you can kill it. I’ve been playing this goddamn game for close to 40 years and have still only found ONE FUCKING CROWN. I won’t look it up online because I want to earn it as opposed being given it. I’ll agree with @Scorpion about BOTW. It’s a bitch.

The Leafs are kicking ass in the Eastern division, but the Caps have had a much better season going in the Metropolitan division. My team (Red Wings) is leading the Eastern wild card, so here’s hoping. But if I had to pick, I would put the cup between Winnipeg and Washington. It would be a bloodbath of epic proportions, but DAMN it would be a hell of an end to the season.

We always go to bed with the TV on, so I guess my answer would be yes. After several decades of doing this, I flat out CANNOT go to sleep without it. But the bigger reason is that if I don’t have something on to distract my mind, it will start running over anything and everything. That keeps me awake all night. But if the TV is on, then my mind is distracted and I can get to sleep.

@Rain Dew doesn’t like it, but i try to keep nothing but black lights in our house. They’re much better for my eyes, and I just like them better.

I’m watching the Family Guy episode where they went to Korea to find the last episode of a soap opera that Quagmire was in. The episode shows clips of Kpop videos. So it got me thinking about this. It’s well known that I listen almost exclusively to underground music, and 80’s rock. Now I absolutely DESPISE pop music. I simply can’t stand the assault on my ears. But oddly enough, I like Kpop. I haven’t got a single clue as to why. But I like a lot of music that’s not in English. Rammstein, Celtic Woman, and Selena are a few I listen to. So what’s a weird thing about your taste in music?

It may have its Pro’s, but it has just as many Con’s as well. On one hand, it makes a lot of space exploration safer. No more Challenger or Columbia disasters. But at the same time, no one will ever go to space if they’re doing it here. AR, VR, and robots/androids can really screw up anyone into any portion of astronomy. If we’re not doing any of it, what’s the point? If I had the choice of visiting any of Jupiter’s moons safely here on earth, or taking the actual trip and the risks that go with it, I would be the first one on the shuttle. There’s a reason why we have both astronomers and astronauts.

This doesn’t really mean a whole lot to me, despite the fact that I have over 130 DDL’s on my Switch. But I know that there’s going to be a lot of pissed off gamers. ARTICLE LINK

Astronomy, obviously. I absolutely love astronomy and if I had half a chance of getting accepted to college, I would be working for a degree.

I don’t show my face with the content I make. So I don’t need it. I’m no celebrity, so I don’t need it. But I will NOT go out without it

During the Cold War, both Russia and the US launched satellites carrying nuclear weapons in case of an attack. Ours are still in orbit. Until they get so low in orbit that they begin to reenter the atmosphere, we won’t hear much of anything about it. The main reason is because it has become extremely volatile and unstable in the years since it was launched, that we simply can’t figure out how to get rid of it all safely. A single attempt to launch even one of the missiles could trigger a chain reaction detonating all of them at once. The amount of nuclear fallout would cover the planet. The results would be unimaginable.

I wear makeup when I go out, but if it’s a home day, I don’t bother. I see no reason to get all made up if I’m just going to be laying around the house in sweats.

That it was the dog.

I have a dangerously high pain tolerance. For example, when I was 16 I landed wrong coming off a bull. When I hit the ground my collar bone broke. I didn’t know it for over a week. I’ve been stabbed and felt almost nothing. I’ve been hit in the face with a baseball bat, gotten a broken nose but, again, felt almost nothing. My pain tolerance may sound like a gift, but it’s really a curse. Due to my tolerance, I can easily miss serious medical issues. I could have a heart attack and think I was just having some chest pain.

My grandma used to make haggis every year at xmas. It seemed gross in the beginning, but after I tried it once, i was hooked. It’s easy to completely fuck up making it, but if you know what the hell you’re doing IT IS SOMETHING YOU WILL NOT REGRET.

The same can be asked of any free service email. I still use hotmail. I have a few gmail accounts, but only because they’re required for YouTube channels, but i never check them.

Custer’s Revenge is the rarest game I’ve ever seen. It’s an adult game that is incredibly racist. You play as Custer with a huge hard on and need to make your way across the screen so you can rape a Native American woman. Yeah it’s worse than it sounds.

Jason from Blaster Master. He loved his pet frog so much that he was willing to face and fight anything to get him back. I would die for my babies. If they don’t eat, I don’t eat. If needs be, I’ll starve so they can eat. And that extends to every aspect of life. As long as they’re happy and healthy, that’s all that matters to me.

And no entry since its inception could compare to the original on SNES.

Very true. The World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Finals don’t hold a candle compared to the Super Bowl. For example, no championship game has a halftime show like the Super Bowl has. Not too many celebrities go to the World Series or Stanley Cup the way they do the Super Bowl.

We have chickens, and when spring rolls around, I’ll be planting a garden. My whole childhood we had a huge garden full of fruits and vegetables. Often I would go to the garden to get stuff for supper. A few ears of corn, or a pot’s worth of green beans. Maybe a few potatoes or tomatoes. Everything we ate was something grown at home. Both meat and plants.

It all depends on who the conversations are with. Is the person important to you or someone you’re more or less indifferent to? Is it someone you see all the time, or someone you almost never see? There are so many variables that it’s hard to answer. It changes from person to person.
