Topic | Which do you consider to be the more boring sport to watch? |
TomNook 12/23/20 7:56:26 PM #38 | Sports need a balance of something happening vs. nothing happening Too much of something happening is bad: Basketball Too much of nothing happening is bad: Soccer Most sports are in the action genre, including the above examples, along with quality sports like hockey, BMX, and tennis. They are the Aliens or Terminator 2 of sports. Then you have the suspense genre of sports, which are the Terminator 1 or Alien of sports. This includes things like billiards and baseball. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

Topic | Best Christmas Movie/Special Day 3 |
TomNook 12/23/20 1:34:19 PM #14 | Also kind of surprised that Tokyo Godfathers didn't make the poll. Not because it's one of the most well known Christmas movies, but it's pretty much the iconic anime Christmas film. I know this board is big into anime, so it's surprising, but maybe people here only watch the TV shows rather than the movies. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

TomNook 12/22/20 11:10:26 PM #54 | UltimaterializerX posted... People dont get that gaming was basically going to die thanks to Atari and ET, until Mario showed up.To use another example, in our universe, VR gaming basically died, but in another universe, there was a VR game that was as revolutionary as SMB was, and now everyone plays VR there, and regular video games don't really get made anymore. --- Bells, bells, bells! |
Topic | Is the Halo series worth playing those days? |
TomNook 12/22/20 7:32:44 PM #14 | Halo is great when it has sweeping outdoor locations. The interiors are so dull though. And don't give me the tired "but the aliens made the interiors repetitive to confuse invaders" argument. Halo 3 was some of the best online play of its era though. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

Topic | Do you have a Male or Female BRAIN?? Take this Test and Post your Results!!!! |
TomNook 12/21/20 8:39:30 PM #3 | "A TOTALLY MALE BRAIN You most definitely have what scientists describe as a male brain: you have complete faith in your own ideas and are prepared to back them to the hilt. You don't believe in collaborative working, you like to decide what's going to be done and then inform others of your conclusions. Other people's emotions often seem irrelevant to you, and you're not very good at recognising them." There were at least 5 questions where none of the answers applied though, and I felt like I was forcing myself to pick something I would't really do. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

Topic | Mega Man |
TomNook 12/20/20 10:50:16 PM #100 | wallmasterz posted... Interesting. Maybe I should consider starting over and choosing the more difficult setting, then. I would say the only tough part so far was navigating Quick Mans stage. Any other thoughts on this?The game is pretty easy either way. I always do Difficult, because Normal feels unnecessarily easy. I don't think you will run into much trouble, especially after having already done MM1. And there is one particular boss that I think will be amusing to hear your write-up when you play on Difficult, and we'll miss out on this fun if you play on Normal ;). --- Bells, bells, bells! |

Just as with my decision to move clockwise through the robot masters in MM1, Ive decided to do the same to start MM2 unless I hit a wall or something.Awww come on! Trying to figure out what weapon might work on another boss is part of the fun! And if your guess is wrong, then it's no different than doing pure random. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

I think it's usage stems from the Flintstones theme song which has a line "They're a page right out of history", which is sang similarly with a similar amount of syllables with emphasis on the word "history". --- Bells, bells, bells! |

Why not just say so in the topic title?This is a bizarre thing to argue about, and feels like arguing for the sake of arguing. If he did that, then you'd just make the case that what he posted isn't the most known, and you can't answer the 2nd most known because the first most known hasn't been posted. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

TomNook 12/16/20 6:20:45 PM #52 | Paratroopa1 posted... Mega Man 1's difficulty is a little overrated. It has some rough spots but it's still pretty forgiving as far as NES games go.Yeah, I think it only has this reputation because of it's relation to the rest of the NES Mega Man series, which is a very easy series. Plus a lot of people think of the Yellow Devil fight as being some particularly tough battle that many of them had to cheat at to beat it, though I've never really understood why everyone says that battle was hard. But for sure in comparison to many other NES games, it's not really tough. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

Its just how I prefer to play.Yes! Very happy to hear this! It can take some self-discipline to do that when you know it's something so easily accessible to cheat at, but it's way more satisfying to play it through the way it was intended IMO. And glad you are liking Mega Man 1! You should really love the series then. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

Topic | Mega Man |
TomNook 12/14/20 6:16:26 PM #9 | 1 has a better challenge than most of the originals. Its level design isn't as good, and I'd say to play it a little later when you've decided you like the series and want more. 2 is one of the easiest ones, in large part to one of the items being completely busted. Even with 2 difficulties, the hardest setting is very easy. This is a good one to start as it has the most basic elements, so you get to see the later games add more mechanics. 3 has some of the best level design and a decent difficulty. It adds sliding. It's for sure one of the best. Also would be a good place to start. 4 has great design, adds the charge shot, and is pretty easy. Good place to start. 5 is a little dull, has terrible music, and few fun weapons. Don't start with this one. 6 has some nice level designs and isn't very difficult. It adds a few more mechanics, and has a flying suit that makes things really easy. Not a bad one to start with, but I'd say pick another one. 7 has some limited choices which isn't a great representation, though still a fun game, probably one of the weaker in the series. Don't start here. Rockman & Forte/Mega Man & Bass plays like 7, but is basically an improvement in every regard. Cool level design and bosses. It's also probably the hardest of the original series. Don't start here. 8 is trash. Don't start here. Don't even play it. 9 is the best Mega Man game. It goes back to the basic style of Mega Man 2. It has amazing level design and the most well rounded set of Robot Master weapons so you'll have fun actually using every single weapon, unlike many games where you have 0-2 that you actually use regularly. Not super easy, but not too hard either. Would be a good place to start. 10 is about the same high quality of 9, though only slightly less good. Nothing would be wrong with starting here, though no reason to do it before 9. 11 has the most new mechanics of any of the MM games and a higher difficulty than most of the series. It's probably the worst representation of the original series, but still a great game. I'd say not to start here. --- Bells, bells, bells! |

TomNook 12/13/20 9:53:46 PM #18 | How is a ketchup a 'refrigerate after opening' when restaurants always have like 40 bottles of them all over their tables. They never refrigerate those, and it's not like they go through them that quickly. For topic, I don't usually care enough to put something in that I prefer cold. Sometimes I have the foresight to do it, like with salsa. --- Bells, bells, bells! |
