7:02 PMWarren Lewis​Hi!

7:02 PMaddictedtochaos​Fine to be a fan but those are fanboys.

7:03 PMaddictedtochaos​Xbox always has a lot of needless talking rather than just let the games speak for themselves.

7:04 PMaddictedtochaos​It looks great but I still don’t know what it is. Hopefully single player.

7:22 PMCyberian_Tiger​I like the idea but just don't have the connection for it...paying 120USD a month for a damn data cap

7:23 PMaddictedtochaos​I bought it just because it will likely be the final Wii game ever.

18:45 - China is implementing a gaming curfew for underage gamers

Chat Transcript:

6:58 PMaddictedtochaos​Hello

7:02 PMTheRiverAnduin​hey Andrew, did you hear about Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE encore global release on switch being based of of the US release of the Wii U version. Nintendo Japan are offering refunds to japanese users.

7:03 PMaddictedtochaos​Might be an offshoot of Onechanbara

7:04 PMaddictedtochaos​Cause reasons

7:06 PMTheRiverAnduin​I played the Onechanbara game on Wii, gameplay is boring after awhile dont try to play more than an hour at a time.

7:06 PMaddictedtochaos​Use Bayonetta 2

7:06 PMSuperMetalDave64​I'll be there again for the Charity stream in 2 weeks, I'm not sure what time I'll show up yet, but I'll be there lol

7:07 PMTheRiverAnduin​yeah I bought my copy for $4 at gamestop.

7:07 PMaddictedtochaos​Which game I may know if it is any good.

7:08 PMaddictedtochaos​Not familiar

7:09 PMTheRiverAnduin​I think I might get Omega Labyrinth Life on Switch from play asia physical copy.

7:09 PMaddictedtochaos​There is always Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash = Splatoon with Boobs. Lol

7:09 PMpsychadelic snake​IMAGINE. BEING. BLIZZARD. LMAOOOOO

7:10 PMaddictedtochaos​You can play single player

7:10 PMSuperMetalDave64​So is this game censored due to Nintendo publishing it? These other games are borderline Japanese soft core games that Nintendo allows on their system

7:11 PMTheRiverAnduin​Nintendo has said that third party games will not be censored, but published first party games are of course now still changed.

7:14 PMTheRiverAnduin​the ages were changed to 18+ for all character in TMS

7:16 PMaddictedtochaos​Moral of the story, censorship bad.

7:16 PMTheRiverAnduin​speaking of content option COD world at war in Wii let you choose when starting the game to turn graphic violence and war footage for single player.

7:16 PMSuperMetalDave64​Did you hear the news recently that Reggie was actually the reason why Disaster Day of Crisis didn't come to the United States on the Wii? "Did you Know Gaming" did a new video on it last week

7:17 PMpsychadelic snake​censorship bad

7:17 PMpsychadelic snake​blizzard bad

7:18 PMSuperMetalDave64​Reggie called it "laughable and overpriced and would watch it's sales overseas" and of course Disaster Day of Crisis never made it to the United States, ever.

7:19 PMTheRiverAnduin​we all knew that about Reggie for years, no fatal frame 2 and 4 on Wii.

7:19 PMotritzu​The only character that's under 18 that I ran into when playing it on the Wii U was a fan who was quite literally one year younger than the female lead who is 18.

7:20 PMSuperMetalDave64​well,

Money over morals. 0:33 – There’s a game called School Girl Zombie Hunter. Would you be surprised if I told you it’s not very good? 7:02 – Japanese gamers are not happy about the fact that Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore is based on the Western localization that censored and changed some content. 25:48 – ...

7:07 PMjordan thompson​how much you wanna bet Sony and Disney bored meetings are 60 year old enept people trading back and forth action figures of the Marvel characters

7:07 PMaddictedtochaos​Knew it would happen eventually with Spider-Man

7:08 PMpsychadelic snake​hey Andrew, I can't stay for long tonight, but what are some 3DS games you can recommend me?

7:08 PMaddictedtochaos​Just want to see Spider-Man interact with Deadpool

7:11 PMpsychadelic snake​been juggling around whether or not I should buy monster Hunter generations

7:11 PMotritzu​I grabbed DQ11 on the Switch earlier today, found that Luigi's Mansion 3 was going to have double rewards on it and decided to pay full price for it so I can get $6 back.

7:12 PMpsychadelic snake​I sadly dont have a switch, so this will be my first MH game actually

7:13 PMaddictedtochaos​What about the Switch version of MH?

7:14 PMpsychadelic snake​one game I will get (when I get a better SD card for room) is PQ2
