He's actually right. Yes, Styrofoam and miscarriage.
Is he? Sources please.

Otherwise, I call bullshit.

Searching the words 'miscarriage' and 'styrofoam' with 'instant noodles' brings up nothing apart from similar '10 Reasons Why Instant Noodles...' articles. Oh yes, and one article from Snopes (the rumour debunking site) about how a similar claim is false.

Finger print sensor is a copy from the new Nokia.

They rushed to release this crap because Nokia announced a finger print sensor at the side of their phone.

Yeye...

Nokia 8 is 6gig ram, biatch!!!
Sony has had fingerprint scanners on the side, and embedded in the power button too, since way before Nokia started a comeback.

Besides, the Nokia 8 has no official details. Not even leaked info. So chill on taking speculative specifications as fact.

Psst, over here.

Have you been able to download the rar file? Completely? The game that is.

You shouldn't need anything apart from WinRAR.

It'd be helpful if you posted some screenshots so I can understand your problem a little better.

Without reasons?
It's a bot, it tries to detect spam posts, and hide and block the user. It works on spam detecting algorithms which can sometimes be far from effective. I've been banned by the anti-spam bot before. If it ever happens, just report it to the section's mods if it ever happens. They'll fix it up soon enough. So it thought it had reasons, but they were wrong.

Anyway, to the post. I've never played a single one of those games. embarassed I've heard of all of them like usual, closest I've gotten to them was playing MGS2. I can't think of the hardest boss I've battled... If I can I'll make sure to mention. smiley

You were right when, you said Mario should come first, I admit to have made that mistake

but

Pikachu is definitely the most is definitely the most iconic of the pokemon series pikachu might not be strongest but when any gamer should the think of pokemon the first character you can think of is pikachu, and don't forget pikachu appears in other games outside pokemon or is there any other popular pokemon character?

Master Chief is a great character if the list was more than that I would include him but comparing him to Dante!!! Is like comparing apples to oranges

Talking of Agent 47 which gamer doesn't knows the HItman? If you haven't played the game, at least one would have seen the movie. Moreover only few games has had the opportunity to be turned into a movie.
I wasn't saying Pikachu isn't iconic. Pikachu definitely is the most popular Pokémon. My parents know Pikachu but can't name any other. I was agreeing with you as to how Pikachu is unspectacular in the games.

Dante... Well, maybe cuz I haven't played DMC, so I'll just leave it there.

I still stand to say that a lot of characters are more popular than Agent 47. I know a lot of gamers who haven't played the Hitman series. I mean.. I'd rather have Ezio, or Cloud Strife...

But how about others, like DK, Megaman, Ryu?

Oh well, probably just the type of games I grew up playing. tongue

Once again, nice work.

GamingRe: Most Popular Video Game Characters/protagonist by HyDef(m): 12:24pm On Mar 24, 2017
Nice list dude. I've heard of them all, but I hope this is not an ordered list... If it is...

Who's Scorpion to be top in place of Mario?

There are 801 Pokémon! You didn't add the latest generation! Pikachu really is nothing special in the games, despite his popularity(based on being Ash's companion in the anime).

Where's Master Chief? Knock off Dante or something!

Agent 47huh He's not that popular! I'm sure someone could replace him. Drake is a better fit than that guy.

ok.. the football game got the team considering many thing.. cos we want everyone to have equal chance with the team selected.. example some football game have some team or players better than the other.. which is not good for contestant.. they all want equal chance..
which leaves the team considering 2013 ...not yet concluded...
I think you should go with the latest, choose either PES or FIFA 17, and stick with that. You cant go as far back as 2013,because some folks still won't be pleased with that. Some teams have improved since 2013, MCFC? What do they do? I'd say you either choose the current game, or go back a year.

Personally though, I'd go with the latest version of whichever game. I play PES 2016, but I'd probably bet I could do well enough in 2017 with Bayern. You really can't give everyone an equal chance short of making separate competitions for each game. tongue

both ps2 and ps3 will be played.. for soccer..

same with car race...

the people that knows how to play ps2 will battle themselves same for ps3..
ps2 players wont battle ps3 players..

car race for ps2 players will battle each other same for ps3..
ps2 players will not battle ps3 players...
there is a way he structured the stuff...
So there's gonna be a separate prize for people on PS2, and people on PS3 for each console? I'm not gonna be there, but trying to help you straighten this up.

Which Need for Speed game? That's also very important.

Oh wow. Well, yeah... I have most of Nintendo's consoles and handhelds (I also have other systems as well, so to CERTAIN people here don't come to false conclusions) so I'm pretty up to date with regards to Nintendo. I don't have the Switch yet, but I'm waiting until I have time to get one. I don't want homework or anything to deter me from immersing myself in the huge world of Zelda. Ah man, I can't wait! cheesy
I also owned the original Xbox, as well as a PS2 later on. I've played a 360, and a PS3, and I currently play a few of the modern games on PC.

Are you a fan of Smash? I played SSB64 to death, and a little of Melee. My absolute favourite game.

Silkmoth, what the heck are you saying?

He's saying that despite the superior graphics of all other games on the market, Breath of the Wild, with its inferior graphics, has bested them.

He never said Breath of the Wild is graphically superior. In fact, he said the complete opposite.

I got the game recently... without getting a Switch. And I have a Wii U.
Either way, I'm so hyped. Sure I won't play it until I get the Switch (well at least I have Uncharted 4 on my PS4 to tide me over), but I'll get to stare at the box. That'll be fun.
And wow... fellow Nintendo fans here. Isn't that a delight!
When do you plan to get a Switch? From what I hear, it's out of stock almost everywhere. But the videos I've seen of the game are really amazing. It's like Nintendo's Skyrim (although, they'll eventually get that :p).

Nintendo fan, right here. You must be a big fan to have bought the Wii U. grin tongue Last Nintendo console I owned was the GBA SP, before that, the 64. I have played a lot of DS games however, and Mario Kart 7, but that's where it ends in terms of the newer games.

That is called a 'brushed metal finish' and is not unique. Please don't use the phrase 'form of wiredrawing' again.



Having a fingerprint sensor and 13MP camera cannot be called a 'massive statement' by any stretch of the imagination. This is 2017 and these specs are quite generic these days, even in Shenzhen devices.
Wiredrawing. grin A real unique design is the hypercut diamond finish on the back of the Huawei P10 (the 'Dazzling' colour variants).

I don't see how a fingerprint sensor and a 13MP camera are a massive statement either.
It's not like the camera will have unprecedented performance or anything, I'm sure we can foresee that. And unless the fingerprint sensor unlocks faster than the Huawei Mate 9, not an achievement in 2017.

Anyway, generally, I'm not a fan of tablets. Apart from being bulky and providing not much additional functionality over a phone, the specs are usually somewhat bland. Not my type of device.

Well, I don't play this game at all, but the first time I saw it, I had strong JSRF vibes. It's much much different though.

So I was doing some reading and found out that the newest character in the game, is well, Nigerian, if you want to see a giant robot as having a nationality. Well, Efi Oladele, the girl who created the Orisa, in-game, is Nigerian. smiley

It's funny how you Nintendo fanboys never talk about the fact that Nintendo always has shitty backwards graphics. The graphical power of the switch is equivalent to that of an Xbos 360 or PS3. No thanks!
I did mention that in my final paragraph. It's a weak console undoubtedly, but in the end, does it even matter? In a world of 4Ks and HDRs, how many critically acclaimed games do we have?
Despite all that BotW achieved perfect scores around the board, running at 720p in 2017.

To each their own, if the visuals of a game are what's important to you, no problem. That's what the PS4 Pro and Scorpio are for.
GamingThe Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. by HyDef(op): 2:15am On Mar 03, 2017
So, in some regions, the Nintendo Switch launched yesterday, and in others, it will launch in hours.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy, and I know they don't get much love around these parts, but something has to be appreciated in the fact that the Switch has already found its killer app.

The launch lineup for the Switch is sparse, with mostly indie games and ports of older titles, but standing tall amongst these, and definitely the most anticipated of them all is the new Legend of Zelda game.

Major gaming outlets have had their hands on the game for some time, and most of them have already dropped their reviews. To say it looks promising would be an understatement.

On Metacritic, out of 62 reviews, Breath of the Wild has an incredible 98%.

To put this into perspective, only 3 other games have a 98%. And only one game has a 99%. What game stands at the top? Why another Legend of Zelda game, released nearly two decades ago, Ocarina of Time. I was opportuned to have played Ocarina of Time when I was younger, and it truly was amazing. How it might have aged though, I can't say.

With such an amazing reception, the Nintendo Switch is probably going to attract more attention from developers who might have previously thought that it's graphical inability would hinder their vision.

By today's standards, it's a weak console, but a powerful handheld, and that's what's so amazing about it.
