Today is December 20, 2017. Phantasy Star came out 30 years ago today! (Alisa: I'm ollllllllld ;_;

Snorb

Uh, guys, just in case anybody's curious about or interested in Sword Coast Legends, better hurry up and buy it cheap. The publisher's contract with Wizards of the Coast expires at the end of the year.

Atlinsmere

I haven't the faintest clue of what you are talking about

Wolf Bird

Gee you aren’t talking about me are you?

Atlinsmere

I've never played it but I know of a certain member here who highly enjoys the game and it's made me curious all these years

TDG

I really should buy Okami HD, I owned the PS2 version years ago before I borrowed it to someone.

Happy Birthday to Oakley 2284 on Friday, Dec. 15. :cake:

Atlinsmere

Monster Hunter World beta was fun... Can't wait until the game is released in January!

Wolf Bird

Okami HD on PS4, Xbox One and PC out tomorrow, with 4K support! Really pumped for this, but I'll probably not play it right away as I'm pretty sure it's going to be a Christmas gift

Happy Birthday to Muffin Man and defyantx07 on Sunday, Dec. 10. :cake:

More snow all night long. I think we may have gotten an additional 3 or 4 inches last night. Sun was out today but still cold so only a little of the snow melted. So pretty to look at.

Silver_Surfer1

Yay!!!!!!!!! We had snow today...about 8 inches so far and it is still snowing! First snow of this winter season, even though winter does not officially start until about another week or so. Already made some snow ice cream and it was yummy!!!! Snow is the best part of winter!!! :snowman:

Happy Birthday to DarkOfNight - D on Friday, December 8. :cake:

Happy Birthday to BroWren! :cake:

Snorb

I'll effortpost about PSII stats later today.

Snorb

Yeah, but at least in, say, Final Fantasy or Dragon Warrior, your Strength did *something.* PSII, your Strength is totally meaningless and has no in-game effect.

R-90-2

A 1980's JRPG with massive technical faults? Say it ain't so!

Snorb

So after all these years, I found out how the stats in Phantasy Star II work. To be brief... *they don't.*

Silver_Surfer1

A wee bit early, but, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :turkey:

Wolf Bird

I am 5/6ths of the way to my team of 5 IV suitable nature fire types for a monotype run in Ultra Sun. Now to get a Vulpix in Silver to transfer up...

Happy Birthday to Abominae! :cake:

Ugh I have one of those periods again that I keep thinking of what I would have liked to have done with the original series (re imagining) or how I would like to expand on them with PNP RPG source books or fan games. A rather pointless effort as I know it only amounts to "fan fiction". It is better to imagine something of your own

Atlinsmere

Huh... Casual Conversation has 6666 posts

Wolf Bird

I was at the Nintendo store in New York for the first time today. They had Incineroar plushes (Incineroar is the final evolution of the fire starter Litten in Pokemon Sun/Moon/US/UM)

Atlinsmere

Also... PSS officially has 300 posts!

Atlinsmere

I left a wall of text in the Phantasy Star Story topic... I just kept writing and writing... it's a long one

Silver_Surfer1 · **Silver_Surfer1** « Thu Nov 16, '17, 12:03 am » Welcome back TDG!

Welcome back TDG!

Wolf Bird

Well the AMA is being done by DICE, not EA.

Wolf Bird

Oh I know what an AMA is, I just wasn’t aware of AMAdisasters being a thing

Wolf Bird

I feel for that customer service rep.

Snorb

If an Ask Me Anything goes particularly unwell, it gets discussed on r/AMADisasters; such honors have gone to Jose Canseco for a profanity-laden AMA, Wyclef Jean for stealing money from his own charity that was supposed to go to the people of Haiti, Seth MacFarlane not knowing how Reddit works (he redeemed himself), Bill Nye being a total jerk about Bill Nye Saves the World and refusing to sing the Bill Nye the Science Guy theme, and other fun stuff.

Snorb

One particularly (un)lucky EA Customer Service rep is going to let Reddit ask them questions about anything. Considering that said account for EA Customer Service currently has the most downvoted comment on Reddit, I sincerely doubt this is going to go well.

Wolf Bird

@Snorb I hadn't heard about the AMA thing though...what's this then?

Wolf Bird

And extremely terrible loot box business model that's upsetting a lot of people. Enough that there have been mass refunds for preorders to the point EA removed the refund option in Origin.

TDG · **TDG** « Tue Nov 14, '17, 5:50 pm » What about Battlefront 2?

What about Battlefront 2?

Snorb

Most-downvoted post on Reddit, aaaaand tomorrow we're gonna get an AMA that I highly expect I'm gonna see on r/AMADisasters.

Wolf Bird

So...has anyone been following the hole EA is digging itself around Battlefront II?

Atlinsmere

TDG, you're always welcome here! This is me... welcoming you... Welcome!

Atlinsmere

You're hearing it first. I'll have something up by Wednesday! So long as I don't get called into work

Atlinsmere

I think it's time for my yearly update. I'll read over PSS and whip something up. I don't remember where I wanted to go originally with the story so I need to get into that mindset again. I can't believe it's been 9 years already

TDG

Hello all, I have not posted here in a long time. I hope I am still welcome

Wolf Bird

There's a Lucky Slime pillow from Slime Rancher on We Love Fine. It's the most adorable thing

Silver_Surfer1

Atlinsmere: Congratulations on the 9th Anniversary of Phantasy Star Story on Nov. 11.

Silver_Surfer1

Happy Birthday to Black Waltz 0, Xander, and MMXPERT on Sunday, Nov. 12. :cake:

Wolf Bird

Yoshi’s New Island. I try to finish things and pick my games carefully, but it’s just so bland.

Rylen: if you didn't find anything about getting that video, you might try looking at browser extensions/add-ons. I know there are a few for Firefox related to that.

Silver_Surfer1

Happy Veteran's Day on Saturday, Nov. 12. Thank you to all Veterans! :usa:

Wolf Bird

For the first time in a while I'm putting down a game because it's just so painfully mediocre. Not even bad, just incredibly bland.

Rylen

I want to add the video to my youtube channel before they remove it off their servers.

Silver_Surfer1

Wolf Bird, congrats on the new boss. I looked her up on wikipedia and she sounds very impressive.

Silver_Surfer1

Sorry Rylen, I don't know anything about it. Maybe someone else can help.

Rylen

Anyone good at pulling video off a website/FB page?

Wolf Bird

Starting January 1st, my new boss is going to be Gina McCarthy, who directed the EPA under Obama from summer 2013 until he left office.

Wolf Bird

Frozen Wilds features a new enemy that is basically a fire breathing robo-wolf. 10/10 automatically.

Wolf Bird

Am I crazy about the fact that I am considering hopping on my PS4 at midnight to see if Frozen Wilds is unlocked for Horizon Zero Dawn? Because I'm so pumped for this.

Atlinsmere

One other fun fact. On November 11, it will be PHantasy Star Story's 9 year anniversary... The time flies fast doesn't it?

Atlinsmere

Sinah was originally suggested as Hinas spelt backwards but the vowels were switched. Just a little PSS fun fact for y'all
