I can only paint creepy looking skulls. =(

Hey man. Nice video. I hadn't seen anyone playing the Oboe and that is a pretty nice medley. It must have taken its time to record and collect all the imagery and cosplay for the pieces.

Are you the one playing the oboe?

Apparently Spider-Man comes in around half way through, so we may get to see a lot more of him.

Oh, excellent news. I am definitely more pumped up now! [emoji1]

Quote from Sardonic Pickle

Cringe worthy? He makes it look so easy.

I meant his Zelda related comments. I dont really mind it but some people might be bothered by the inaccuracies in his speech. I edited my post to make clear what I meant.

To b e honest I enjoy the way he talks it feels like a relaxed little chat. [emoji1]

His drawing skills are excellent, which us why I shared it. It looks almost official.

Markcrilley is a guy I like to follow on YT that I enjoy the way he explains how he does things.
He is clueless about Link, and although he chose TP appearance he doesnt really know much of about the Zelda franchise. This might make some of what he says a bit cringey for some people, but his skill is worthy and I think it really can be of help to get anyone started with how to draw Link.

This video he does most of the stuff in real time while making some conversation and explaining his choices.
Below is just a time-lapse of his drawing, so if you don't care for his explanation this is a quick way to see his style for drawing.

Anyone interested in seeing it? A friend *coughes@sardonicpicklecoughes* just passed me a link to the second trailer and while the first trailer did get my attention, the teaser at the end of the second trailer had raised my curiosity by a lot. I think it is something I wanted to see for a while. Also it made me realise we had no thread to talk about it here. Problem solved.

Anyway, it is my udnerstanding many people are getting saturated with Superhero movies. I am not one of them. There have always been mindless entertainment type of movies and different genres and I don't mind lowering my guard for these kind of films. I liked superheroes in comics and I enjoy the explosions, ridiculous costumes that somehow you try to take seriously and the action. It is a fun ride.

This movie seems to it is going to be about Iron Man and Captain America differences to grow to the point where they take opposing stances. I love versus and this year we will have two movies on that. I want to see what's up with the terrorists and how they fit with this.

I have a bit of a mixed bag with the Spiderman reveal. It is great in itself taht he finally joins in. I think it is something I have wanted to see since the second movie of the avengers was announced. It is interesting that he ended up in a more Captain America "focussed" one, but still with the Avenger crew being around.

In deadpool, the cgi effects to make his face more expressive works really nice, because the white is still a small portion. Spiderman instead has this white retract. This is very close to the style in the comics and in that sense I like the idea, but at the same time it feels unnatural and I am not sure how well it will flow with him. I guess I could take a jab at his small logo on his clothes too but that is just ridiculous nitpicking.

The real worry I have with the teaser of Spiderman is that this scene is actually a teaser at the end of this movie that they inserted in the trailer. In Spiderman two they teased Rhino and that scene that ended in cliffhanger was the last scene from the whole movie too. I am afraid that since the focus in on Captain America, Spiderman participation is just a funny surprise near the end.

What do you guys think of the movie trailers?

Are any of you planning to watch it?

Happy Birthday!

I have heard a lot of this game and to be honest I mostly know it because of the Link cameo sleeping in a hotel room than anything else. I knew it was considered a good game but I ignored just how much of a high reputation it actually receives.
I think it is like with some old tunes, we all have heard them at some point and we don't realise how much the present might have been molded by it. It definitely was an impressive title during its time and going by your links, the title taht basically shaped the characters personalities.

This serves mostly as an excuse to dream, but now that Cloud is in Smash, it begs to consider the notion as that things have been patching up between Square-Enix and Nintendo and if there is to be a proper sequel for this title, it would be great if it was again a shared effort like the original game.

Do you have any techniques for remembering pokemon type advantages? Most of them are pretty simple to remember, but some of them can be a little confusing...

I like to try to come up with explanations, but as the games have introduced new types and adapted the rules I have kind of given up to keep on top of it.Some of them don't make much sense to me. The "have you ever tried to punch X?" used to be my explanation of Ghost versus normal kind of battle.

Quote from alakazam

Yeah, they didn't show that in the movie theater I watched it in. They just faded to white during the credits and we all left.

That is annoying they do that kind of thing. There was a theater I used to go that would pull the same thing. It was really annoying when I knew for sure it had something because my friends had said to me I shouldn't leave and miss it.

• Ganondorf makes the enemy inflict double the damage.
• Hero mode for TP HD is the game mirrored and enemies inflicting double damage, as fas as I understand.

Therefore using Ganondorf amiibo n hero mode would make each enemy 4x stronger compared to the base game. That is quite a challenge for anything that isn't a drooling brain type of enemy.

Are any of you interested in taking it?

Are there parts of the game that you'd dread doing this way?

Do you think that is a good level of difficulty?

I didn't preorder a copy. I didn't really feel excited enough to pre order it. I like the Amiibo and I might get it if it comes available on its own. I have no hurry.

As for the game itself, I am in no hurry but I will eventually get it. It is not a priority but I like the game so I wouldn't mind getting it once it becomes more affordable.

How about you?
Did you pre-ordered it?
Are you planning to get the game at some point?

^ I went with @Sardonic Pickle to watch it. I liked it.

Quote from alakazam

I was expecting a completely different approach to the character.

I am curious to know what was the approach you were expecting it to receive. Are you familiar with the comics? That might help us understand better how it came short.

Quote from alakazam

know that Deadpool doesn't take itself seriously in the comics, but there's a difference between not taking yourself seriously and making the entire movie a series of jokes with a very thin plotline.

Display Spoiler

I agree it was a mess on how to tell the story. It might work in a first time viewing but I know I'll dread it afterwards, it is just a constant pause and flash back until they catch up with the story.

I didn't mind the plot in itself though, I think it was simple to understand and relatable enough. Just focussing on pursuing one man and explaining why.

I was kind of bothered that Colossus had the same eye effect as Deadpool. He looked weird, but the character in itself was pretty funny with his fatherly, gentleman attitude.

The "Moody teenager" felt weak to me, but she could have been way more annoying that she was.

I enjoyed the lampshading and the fourth wall jokes, I was afraid they were going to become too cringey but I think that otehr than at the very beginning they slowed down and made them

Did you guys stayed until after the credits? What did you think?

Pretty neat, eh?

Quite cool. Thanks for sharing it. :D

Although we focus on zelda and Nintendo, I am willing to bet that not all of our members think Nintendo as the first...

Quote from LinkSkywalker

Nintendo is my second favorite after myself.

And LS proves my point by giving at the same time an unexpected first favourite... then again, maybe I was the only one not expecting it. :lengua:

As for me, I fit your bill, so Sony is my second one. I kind of wish I could say PC was my second as probably that would be a pretty solid combo, but just as Nintendo took care of me during the Nintendo 64, so did the Play Station consoles. There have been some fun exclusives I still enjoy today.

Hmm... that is a hard one. Now there are so many pokemon around. I definitely want to see some answers. It might help me shake my memory and recall some I think that are pretty cool looking.

I'll start tame and say that I liked the idea of a fire horse so rapidash is cool.
I also always liked Lucario's appearance.

And Jigglypuff is also cute looking... specially when it gets angry! X3

I know there must be others I know that I like better but for some reason I can't recall them.

Not to minimise your effort but since your serves is lonely as mine was (I deleted it).
Today I dived into reddit and found this one:
https://discord.gg/0lQBJ8lwVk3MNsVh

It has rooms for different region and some people on it.
I'll try to click for the European Region. :^o^:

I hope it can be of use for you.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I had no idea of them.
They are very talented they adapt the songs so very nicely. I really enjoyed them.

Quote from 'zilla

First, I would freak out as my life shatters. Why have I gone to school and studied all these years, for what have I made plans for my career and for the future, and what worth is in my life experience now that nothing really matters?

Then I would proceed to select a new life purpose. To fill the void, I would go megalomaniac and decide to save the world from some of its numerous ails. A long time would be spent trying to figure out a strategy.

I would start doling out the money discreetly, as anonymous donations to causes I feel are worthy. No strings attached. I would keep an eye out for cheers of happiness and I'd feel a sense of meaning in this, starting an addiction on generosity fuelling an ever shrinking feeling of self worth.

Soon I'd feel very estranged from my friends and family, because I couldn't tell them what is going on in fear of how it could break important relationships. I also don't want for them what I went through myself. Let them live their happy lives and have their meaningful struggles. I become very lonely.

To feel more important, I build up a high-end lifestyle and go to expensive parties and meetings. I start meddling with politics, even though I'm a total dimwit at it. In a fit of self-pity, I acquire a personal submarine so I can dive down and be free of it all once in a while. I'd prefer something that flies or even just a nice kayak, but I don't want to be too visible.

Eventually, I have a breakdown because I still have unimaginable amounts of money and I feel I'm not spending it wisely. The world is still going to the dogs, I have no way of knowing whether my donations did anything for the better. Some circuits fry in my brain.

That is the point when I decide to pursue my own quest, I open the purse for more personal spending and I build a hidden HQ in a far-off location. From here, I can launch stealth spaceships and other means of fast and undetected transportation. I install insanely complex technology. Since the world won't fix itself with my nudging, I'll have to fix it myself.

A few years after the wizard appeared to me, the world is in full-scale antimatter warfare. Several nations have been obliterated off the face of the Earth, an array of dystopian fanatical cults have split the significantly reduced human population between them, and I am already half cyborg.

After the dust storms clog up my final automata factory, I soon have no body with which to walk the barren earth. But what is there to walk to anyway? So, copied into numerous digital vaults deep in the terrestrial crust of what is now a cold and inert celestial body, I remain, thinking, pondering. Waiting.

When, eons in the future, far past the death of our sun and the merging with the Andromeda galaxy, and when our once-Earth is hurtling as a rogue rock through interstellar space, the wizard finally does return – to amuse himself by revisiting the planet he'd once fucked up just for the lols – he'll find that I have prepared well. In my confines in the dark, while I still had any left of all of the planet's radioisotopes, I thought long and hard with my quantum computer neurons. Focused thus on a single task, I used all I could remember and deduce from the wizard's visit, and I figured out the source of his power and how it worked. Before going dormant, I used the last of my fuel to set up the traps.

It is his hubris and arrogance that betrays him. All his enraged efforts to free himself only invigorates my contraption, which wrenches from him the hard-won gift of magick that had so long-ago been bestowed upon his undeserving being. While his body falls apart into dust, screaming, my mechanisms grind the vessel of his soul. They extract its essence and infuse it within the hard soil, in a long and beautiful process which is a marriage of magick and science.

As the waves of change ripple through the globe, I awaken and undergo a fusion with an entity that is coming into being for the first time. Bodiless and eternal, I have become the Undead Earth. And with the power now available to me, I conjure up a means to seek a long lost future. After just a few millions of years circling the galaxy, this rock has soaked up so many energies and such information that it can unbind itself from the restraints of reality. I head out beyond the known universe, to seek what I do not know.

Far, far beyond where science could ever have taken us, I locate an anomaly in the fabric of space and time. I see it as fertile soil. Tweaking the laws of nature, I shift and alter my corpus, and using the gases and energies in the area, I construct a haven for life and sentience like nothing ever before seen in existence. A garden of sorts, complex interweaving filaments interspersed with sources of light, covering a volume of megaparsecs, tuned to sustain all possible forms of life and unlife. Then, taking the seeds of life, the pollen that floats through all of space, I enhance it and prepare it so that life, this time, will be more magnificent, more diverse, more meaningful than it ever was before. My designs for endless potential lay embedded in the genetic code of all beings.

Thus redeemed, I decide to step down from my omnipotence as an atonement and for the sake of free will. Imbuing this Haven with the self-sustaining magick, I choose to weave my own long-forgotten lifestream into my creation, and to pass through cycles of reincarnation, like all living things therein. Before dying for the first time, however, I live some time as an obsolete human being, travelling through the magical, newborn landscape.

I also make myself a nice bamboo flute, a hobbit house in a warm climate, a wooden kayak to play with in the ocean, and a forest and orchard of really tasty fruits, nuts and berries. I live my days happily, in reverie and bliss, giving thanks to the universe and the beautiful Haven it allowed, and to that bastard wizard who gave me a ton of money ten billion years previously.

Quote from Claraviolet

Even if I hit some lucky draw, I bet that would just be taken as an invalid move.
I don't have any luck whatsoever. So, even if something good happens, something else will just make it disappear.

So, at the end I wouldn't have billions of dollars to spend. So, there is no need to worry :^o^:

I think you're dooming yourself. We really can be good at self-fulfilling our prophecies.

Mine is mainly getting a house. Nothing way too big but I wouldn't mind having an art and a game areas to have their own rooms. ♥ I'd probably go with a good theater system and a big Tv that right now I just read the price and laugh inside.

It also would mean I can finally fulfill my promise to a friend and travelling with him to China. Finance my parents some holiday. Travelling to certain places I also have always wanted to see.

I probably should separate money for my retirement.

If i could I would like to build some sort of like a place for people that feels have hit rock-bottom, where the idea is that it'd have free to use facilities to help them get on their feet. For example showers and laundromats. People available to help them prepare resumes or gather information. Formal clothes for hire for interviews and resume dropping. Follow up help if they get the job. I am not thinking in something huge. I think it is key it feels like a small loving community where every person is catered to their individual needs. I don't goverment cold thing, I'd like actual people that care about them helping out. If I had billions upon billions this would be a nice way to give back.

Not sure where else I could get away sharing this. I was in a chat and someone threw it in.
I am still not sure how I feel.

Yo! Guys!. I have been trying to show you this for ages, but I always had an error message, tapatalk or computer which eventually made me gave up. Today I had another go, got the errors and just print screen the thing and tried again. Pretty ridiculous approach but somehow it worked.

This is the second one. I think for first time online. Like I said not very happy with the execution. Mostly the skull, way too dark although I was trying to make the "smile" to stand out.
I was basically trying to do my own spin on "La Catrina". La Catrina is a well dressed "skull" from somewhere around the first decades of the XX century. It has evolved somewhat since then but the original drawing, for a newspaper is still the most known one. The message basically is that death makes no distinction. No matter how much class or money you got, we all going to share the same end. So it was a small jab to the elite of Mexico feeling superior by reminding them of this.

Behind 'her' There's some cempasúchil (Marigolds). In mexico that flower is linked to the Day of the Death and many people buy and bring to the tombs these flowers. It's name means 20 (petal) flower in Nahuatl. If I recall correctly the reason for its use in altars is because it is reminiscent of the Sun. The sun was believed by the Aztecs to guide the souls of our ancestors. In some regions they make a way from the doorstep to the altar with the petals. Originally I had filled the picture with them but the later on decided against. I still couldn't come with anything else to feature as the background so I just left it like that.
