I tuned in to the dolphins saints London game a few minutes into the 2nd quarter and it's probably the worst football game I've seen. It's so bad

So many people at that game are about to swear off american football forever. Imagine if that was your first real taste of the sport

The Brewers are done.

The Brewers are one strike from elimination.

There are a few games on this thing that are neither particularly good or noteworthy. Star Fox and Star Fox 2 are apparently bad now (I haven't gotten around to them yet) but at least they're iconic / never before played. We didn't need the kirby golf game, Contra 3, or Ghouls and Ghosts. One of those should be DKC2. I won't hold their feet to the fire on Chrono Trigger only because Final Fantasy VI is basically just as good or better depending on who you ask and I was surprised we even got that one. Maybe instead of Secret of Mana but I'm glad it has that one because I've never played it.

Anyway Super Metroid is awesome. Who knew?

It's got three Square games: Final Fantasy III (which is actually VI), Secret of Mana, and Super Mario RPG. Chrono Trigger is the biggest game missing from the console I'd say. I have those PS1 ports as well and I agree they are unplayable. I didn't finish Chrono trigger until I got it on DS.

Yeah but you don't need to be so standoffish. People are just talking about shit you don't need to go "well you're wrong" all the time

You're gonna say Kingdom Hearts is better which is why you need to start saying "I like KH mite than BotW" so that people don't think you're insane

My friend that is fine. You're entitled to your opinion as are chewy and STLCards1991 who are on the opposite spectrum. I played it right after I played Kingdom Hearts and I thought KH was the best game ever but then it was immediately clear to me that OoT was a far better game. That's just a little info about my experience that perhaps you can relate to as an old KH head

I've played it before but never finished it. I'm taking these one at a time. There's a decent chance I will agree with you because OoT was a bit of a slog when I tried playing through it last like five years ago. Breath of the Wild is better than OoT and I doubt LTTP is as good

I do like the aesthetic of DKC1-3 more than any DK games that came afterward. Even when they brought the side scrollers back on Wii or whatever, the graphics are more appealing in 16 bit

It's not the best DKC on Super Nintendo. It's probably somewhere in the 8-10 range on my list

Super Metroid is: good.

Wouldn't that be funny if I became a guy who got really upset about how people treated the culture of gaming. Like I started challenging gamer girls on their credentials and getting mad at people who say they grew out of games but I do all this starting at age 26

Cheers to @Rockies for bending the universe to his will and getting one without trying hard. Jeers to @MNTwins1991 for his negativity and disrespect for our cultural heritage as gamers

I hope you get one. The Switch thing worked out for all of us who give a shit so I have a good feeling that this will too. I believe even if you don't

Well we got ours of course. I tried to count the cart full of stock and it looked like maybe 32

RIP to the Cardinals, officially. I know you guys are probably disappointed, but their season went pretty well considering how bad they started out and that they (sort of) sold at the deadline. Please go beat the Brewers now

I like some of the players on the Cardinals but I hate the Cardinals as an organization right now so I feel pretty satisfied by their failure. Playoffs would have been fun though

Oh he's too far away now. I wish we were switch friends.

We're both playing Golf Story on our Switches and the only other Switch guy here is also playing it. Very charming so far

Two more people have appeared and now we have an official line.

We're third and fourth in line. Someone got here an hour and a half ago. There's no official line so we're relying on the honor of Walmart employees

I'm actually feeling pretty optimistic about it at this point which is probably stupid. Our plan A with the Walmart might actually work because we're committed enough to get there early. Probably around 8. Mainly I'm feeling sort of good about it because I'm feeling sort of good about nintendo producing enough units this time. If you get one, what's first on your list? I'm excited to finally play Secret of Mana, Earthbound, and Super Metroid.

I'm sorry mate you seem like a nice bloke but you are an embarrassment as a traveler and you should give up on that dream right now.

I wouldn't count on bringing anything on the plane and of course you can buy peanut butter abroad you absolute git

Not since birth. I'm hoping to go back sometime next year for about two weeks. It won't be enough to see everything I want to, sadly. Even with two weeks, I'll likely be spending a lot of time in a very enclosed region around where I was born (Cartagena) and where a lot of my family still lives (El Banco).

Oh I meant to reply to this. This sounds awesome and I hope you get to do it. I don't know how high Colombia is on my list but it's at least high on the south America list. I don't have as much desire to visit my own motherland but I might do it anyway because of cheap flights to Europe that just started coming out of St. Louis. I also want to go back to Japan. This has been kevins travel corner

The Brewers are gonna lose so the wild card is basically over. At least they finally ripped the band aid off. As always it took far too long but that's ok

Have you ever been to Colombia? I've been watching Narcos and the show is 50x better thanks to how gorgeous that country is (they shoot on location)

The Rockies have a 10 run lead. If they can hold on that exhausts one of the two available negative results for the Cardinals. Starting to think the Cardinals fucked this up

They can cancel it if the Rockies finish the season at 161 games but have already clinched. If not they can play the day after 162

Yes it is, and specifically in my neighborhood. Don't come kill me please

It was the same ballpark as your Scandinavian number. 70 or so

Wow you're hella viking. When my sister did 23 and Me it also confirmed that we're super white but our big number is Irish. It was higher than we expected because my mom thought she was like a quarter German but nope

Yeah the Twins have at least clinched the tiebreaker after winning today. They're definitely getting in. Maybe they'll even beat the Yankees, who knows. It's just one game and all the Yankees are good for is hitting home runs

The Cardinals' elimination number is down to 3 with 5 to play and 4 for their rivals. 7 of the remaining 9 games between the Cards and Rockies need to have a pro Cardinals result. II'm taking Milwaukee for granted here because of that last series. This feels like a tall order

I thought the 08 Rays did that but it turns out they only lost 96 games in 07 after 101 in 06. They were special somehow, maybe that was the greatest difference year to year

If a team makes the wild card game, that counts as making the playoffs right

Yeah. It's a little weird when they celebrate getting there though

That's because you're xenophobic and always talking shit. Danganronpa is fun to say bitch

Don't hate, weab games own. Sometimes. Anyway Danganronpa and Suikoden both own at least.

When the Cards had 10 games to go I said they'd be lucky to win 6 more and that probably wouldn't be enough. They've lost 3 of 4 since then but now I think 6 may be enough if they can somehow manage to win 5 more times which they won't do.

He made the fabled bernie bro to maga guy transition but waited until after the inauguration. Pea brain shit

Lol a jeopardy category today was nfl teams by hall of famer and a foreign lady named Anupama (I don't want to guess at her ethnicity) buzzed in for Marcus Allen and she said "who are the umm...Colorado rockies" and her voice got quieter and quieter and looked humiliated. It owned

It's not "unfortunate," it's murder. The other officer used a taser. If the police had tased a developmentally disabled deaf person who wasn't doing anything I would call that police brutality. Shooting that person is murder.

It should also help the Rockies that the Cards and Brewers have one more series against each other left. The Rockies' worst case scenario for that series is a sweep and that would at least automatically eliminate one of their opponents. But I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself since the Rockies might get swept by the Marlins

Big day for the Rockies who despite seeming to be in a tailspin actually won the series in San Diego while the Cardinals dropped two of three to the Pirates. I won't say the Cards are done only because I've said that a bunch this year only for them to come alive again immediately but the math looks bad after today.

My only recommendation from having been there I guess three times is that the Wolfgang puck pizza place is just average but the Chicago style hot dogs are weird and good

Ah, O'Hare. My home away from home where I saw major celebrities

Our president is extremely alpha.

Oh hey I see it's also your birthday. *Every character from every video game, movie, anime, comic book, and tv show comes in for a HUGE party*

Happy birthday @MNTwins1991 and don't forget - you're much older than me

The most fucked up part, and I bet this applies to Minneapolis as well, is that we thought we had gotten past this part already. We had like a full week of cool fall temperatures and then it shot right back up.

It's been high 90s all week here. I hate this so much.
