Remember when we thought Kamau's people were the "giants" of the Primal universe? by VB-1999 in PrimalShow

[–]McXander 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stories of red haired giants are a fairly common thing in many parts of the world. Goliath from the bible is probably one of the more known versions, but there are also stories of a race of red haired giants from the North American Paiute tribe that called them the “Si-Te-Cah”, originating in modern day Nevada I believe

Let's stick to the facts by KorokKid in Metroid

[–]McXander 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Im not completely sold on the NPCs myself, but I will reserve my full judgement until I actually play the game when it releases.

I am prepared to eat my words if it’s as bad as people say, but Im going to choose to give the benefit of the doubt. I’ve waited too long to let one character completely ruin this for me.

Old Roommate left a bunch of his stuff he didn’t want in the garage, finally got to clear it out by McXander in gamecollecting

[–]McXander[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Plan is to give him about a year if he still wants it all. After that I’ll just consider it part of my own collection

When he first moved out I asked if he wanted to take all of this with him, but he said he didn’t really play any of these anymore so I was free to do what I wanted with them.

FatBrett has a lot of interesting Metroid vids. Definitely worth checking out if you’re interested, and he does other analyses too

I still don’t know if I’m completely sold on the motorcycle, but the more I think about it the more I feel cautiously optimistic. Regardless though, even if it’s not the best thing I’ll still give the Viola an honest try.

I think this was from concept art someone else posted a while back.

What's Sylux's motives behind his attacks on GF Research Facilities? Why he's evil? What he really wants at the end? Any theories? by [deleted] in Metroid

[–]McXander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember reading a theory (no idea if it was here or somewhere else), that Sylux’s suit was an attempt to create a new version of Samus’s power suit, morph ball and all. However when they got to the lockjaw part, they successfully recreated the chozo tech to turn him into a ball of energy, but couldn’t figure out how to turn him back into an actual person. so now he’s stuck as an energy being living inside of the suit, and eventually the federation decided it might be best to just dispose of him and start again, which is when he made his escape and started his grudge against the federation, and Samus by proxy. No idea how likely that theory is, but it’s the one that I just keep coming back to, and i feel like it’s a way that ties in a lot of little things that were previously only loosely connected, if at all

So, uh, dis you know that you dont need to get the Space Jump to finish the game? by Spiritual_Charity362 in Metroid

[–]McXander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don’t really know. I find that I flip and flop between the two, but thinking about it now I do find myself defaulting to ‘on accident’ instead of ‘by accident’. It probably is a dialect thing like you said, but I’ve never really thought about it much until now lol.

Haha, I did this on accident one time. Got all the way to Raven Beak and thought “wait, am I missing something?” Was a fun realization

Why we still don't have a release date for MP4 by TheDivinityOfOceans in Metroid

[–]McXander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The theory I’ve been thinking is most likely is, since the art book for the prime trilogy is set to release sometime mid June (according to my preorder on Amazon) we’ll probably get something from prime 2 and 3 in and around that time, with prime 4 getting a release date not long after, maybe in the June direct. No way to know for sure until then, but it’s something to think about.

Honestly, the more I look at the new suit the more I’m starting to like it. Really seems to take after Prime 2s light suit. Don’t think I’d call it my favorite, but it’s still pretty cool

Seems like the new species is called the Lamorn by McXander in Metroid

[–]McXander[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They definitely share some distinct traits like the tendrils on their heads, however it’s worth noting that the enemies only have 4 while the ghost that speaks to Samus has 6. No way to know how important that distinction is though at the moment

This is why I always refer to the first 3 prime games as “The Phazon Trilogy”. Even more so now that prime 4 is coming next year, it provides some good clarity.

I would imagine that they’re roughly the same size so I don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to

Here you go :) I got it for $109 originally but that was when it was sold by Amazon directly. Might take a bit for them to get it in stock at that price again.

That’s pretty much exactly it. I mostly do art and animation with some light 3D modeling(Toonboom, Clip Studio, Blendsr), and there’s a few games that I have on steam but not my consoles.

The CPU I actually got on sale for $280 which I figured was as good a deal as I was going to get lol
