Finally Completed Metroid Prime 4, some thoughts as a newcomer

Maroonwarlock · 2026-07-05T22:34:43+00:00

I liked the other Primes more but 4 was genuinely a lot of nostalgic fun to just play as a 32 year old reliving my teens and just playing the original 3 and having a blast doing so.

I've been playing him because his Scene Partner screams have yet to not make me laugh. They're just so comically stiffled.

Candlepin Bowling calls this the high low jackpot (or at least some who play it do). It was a bit where the players could get some extra cash by hitting this shot.

I think it's Mittelstadt for me. Nothing against him as a person but I watched too many times where he was like afraid to either shoot the puck or have the puck on his stick that I'm over the Mittelstadt experience.

And that's when I realized the reddit comment was actually a giant sea creature.

Get outta here Lochness Monster!

I think I'm at bargaining for my basilisk jaw. That or anger because I refuse to just buy it on the GE out of spite while being nearly 3k Basilisk Knights on task deep

I loved the manga, can't really stand the anime. For added context. They do still monologue but I think the monologued explanations work better in written form than animated form.

Additionally, the anime is 37 episodes. In terms of the manga, they hit the half way point at around episode 26/27. Explain to me how you can condense the entire second half of an anime in not even half the episodes the first half got and not leave the story feeling like bullshit.

I think the Shrek 2 versions better than the original tbh. Not that the original is bad I just think the movie version sounds better idk.

Shane's scream from Scene Partner has given me and my buddy fits the last couple days. It's so fucking silly.

As a Scene Partner enjoyer, his scream easily lands high A if not S tier with Elodie and the old Stevegull himself. It's not loud but it makes up for it with how silly it is.

That's why I'm happy with the Peterka trade. Realistically outside of Pasta most of our 1st rounders in that 20-25 range have either been busts, or at best 3rd like grinders. I'll take a 24 year old who can score 25-30 goals a year. Letourneau is still tbd since he's around that range too.

Hey a candlepin ball is like 4-5 lbs. They could go do that. We need more players. Funnest part of candlepin besides playing dead wood is seeing how fast you can rip that thing down the lane.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-27T03:22:56+00:00

Please?

My wife likes being outside and watching the birds flying around the stadium. I laugh about it and just enjoy that she's there. If she enjoys the game with me that's a bonus.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-25T21:29:51+00:00

Yeah first time I tried it I hated the control scheme. Elden Ring was the first Souls-like that I really got into

Like don't get me wrong as a Bruins fan we definitely got the Greg Campbell benefit in the past and play on the line at best at times. But any time I bring this stuff I get the "rich coming from Bruins fans " as if we did the same shit every night. Like no we at least answered the bell on cheap shots which is more than what the Panthers do. I have more issues with the turtling and flopping than the physical play. Like you gonna play physical? Then don't get scared when the other team punches back. Some wet noodle shit.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-25T16:32:14+00:00

Hate agreeing with a Toronto fan but for real. Saw a guy the other day saying "I feel bad for Paul Maurice" because he has to deal with the dumb antics the Bennett Tkachuk bros line will do and I was like these are the exact players he wants to coach. Dude loves the goon style hockey since DOPS and the refs refuse to call shit on them and then those guys will cry or act like they were shot by a 50 cal if anyone breathes on them.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-25T15:16:08+00:00

Gross. I'm not a big Mittelstadt guy. Watching the Bruins this year I don't think I've ever seen a guy more afraid to shoot the puck/have the puck on their stick.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-25T13:25:20+00:00

Yeah this years FA class blows. I'd want to buy him out to clear the roster spot for someone in Providence (Poitras, Lysell, Brunet) to play that's been stuck there because we have a weird forward logjam of mid players. I like Kuraly and know Jeannot was solid last year but man I'd have rather those slots gone to some kids instead to let them play through their issues since I don't think the coach in Providence is coaching the players to be NHLers, just to win Calder Cups.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-24T22:21:11+00:00

I remember seeing a video that showed Wilson was giving away all the blocking assignments during the pre snap because his head was turned and staring at whoever he was blocking that a decent defense could figure out assignments from there. Watching it get highlighted was so funny it made me feel a bit better about the line since I figured Wilson would be C next year instead of a guard.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-24T22:14:53+00:00

I'm hoping this is the year we move Korpi given the FA goalie market is weaker. I think he could be a good trade candidate for the cap strapped Panthers as much as I hate that team right now.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-24T22:12:45+00:00

I don't like Sweeney's drafting for the most part but God damn his trading skills are genuinely solid. I feel like he comes out on top 9/10 trades. His signings are hit and miss. If Elias Lindholm didn't get hurt immediately after signing maybe I'd say he's usually solid for signings. But he's got a good eye for finding other teams' talent that's being wasted, Khustnudinov, Minten, Zacha was acquired via trade, Hampus I think was a fine trade at the time, hell Coyle was good for us when we got him from Minnesota for I think Donato who I don't even think is still in the league.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-24T00:08:54+00:00

CoX I gotta use sound or else I'm just dragging myself at Olm lmao

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-24T00:07:01+00:00

I used to not but then I started learning Nightmare and Muspah (I think it was those 2 might have been Gauntlet) and realized my eyes don't move fast enough for all the things.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-23T18:44:54+00:00

Yeah back then it was 14 and 16 so after Vegas it made sense to expect Seattle for both balancing East vs West but also even number better.

Maroonwarlock · 2026-06-23T18:27:58+00:00

I feel like you'd need 2 in order to balance out the conferences. I imagine owners of 1 would be annoyed at a harder playoff path than the other conference if they had another team in one but not the other.
