6:53 PM Andrew Eisen​Hello everyone.

6:56 PMeathdemon​hi

7:00 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​hey Andrew remember me Becky the one who suggested that glitch in your Lego Movie glitches video

7:00 PMeathdemon​I seem to be in the minority, but I like the greenlight change

7:00 PME. Zachary Knight​Hello

7:01 PMCodeNameZ​Anyone still knows who I am?

7:02 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​Andrew what’s your Skype I have other glitches I love to recommend because out of all the games that I have played one that’s incredibly good that deserves a mention is definitely defiance

7:02 PMCodeNameZ​I was more suprised when I found out Zack have kids

7:03 PMCodeNameZ​Well on twitch I am Z2400

7:05 PMeathdemon​the rare times ?I go to a movie its the dine in theatre

7:06 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​oh I so want to see that I’ve seen most of the clips for Lego Batman the movie I’ve seen most of the clips by that I mean the trailers my favorite ones with the butt mobile oh crack

7:07 PMCodeNameZ​Did you hear guys Sumo Digital the developer of Snake Pass did a livestream of the Switch version of the game they say how the Switch is easy to develop for and they did the port in a week

7:08 PMCodeNameZ​Or for preordee bonus you have an overpowered item

7:10 PMCodeNameZ​Also the developer of Disgea 5 say the same thing

7:10 PMeathdemon​the switch is still $500 buck to mich

7:10 PMeathdemon​50

7:10 PMeathdemon​ue4 works on it too

7:11 PMlittlegittel​I’m sure someone has already said this, but I really like your shirt, Zack. Excellent

7:11 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​yeah what I also don’t like about a pre-order bonuses is that if you try to get them at any other point other than the dates they’re released they’re no longer available trust me I know

7:11 PMCodeNameZ​One of many many many RPGs for the Switch 😉

7:12 PMAndreas Protopapas​that shadow behind Andrew looks kinda like…. Mario?

7:13 PMCecil475​Hi all!

7:14 PMCodeNameZ​If anything the avengers destroys more the city than Loki

7:15 PMeathdemon​I like it make it 1k for devs make it 100 for students done

7:15 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​one thing that I would wish they would do that I wish they would make a game is mysteries-at-the-museum like sore to make it a trivia game because I love that show and no one has made a game off of it

7:16 PMeathdemon​it heavily reduces asset flipers and shovelware. feel bad for devs in poor contries, but thats ok

7:16 PMCodeNameZ​Steam Direct is a short Japanese guy telling you about Steam games directly to you 😉

7:16 PMPeter Gensler​Have you guys in chat preordered the Switch? I’m lucky, since Walmart in Canada doesn’t take preorders apparently. Meaning if I show up at least half an hour before they open I’m guaranteed to get one

7:17 PMeathdemon​they havent set on the fee, but it will be between 100 and 5000 per game. I hope higher, than lower

7:18 PMeathdemon​its per title

7:19 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​is anybody going to go see that new Five Nights at Freddy’s movie when it comes out

7:19 PMPeter Gensler​lol no

7:20 PMeathdemon​acording to the guy behind steamspy he think if its set at $200 it should stop most asset flips

7:20 PMeathdemon​valve will pass on their cut, til you get it back from what I understand

7:21 PMadevãr realã​Its hoqzz here

7:22 PMeathdemon​sadly only three companies on earth have good descovery. that is netflix google and amazon

7:22 PMCodeNameZ​About the topics will we talk about the Switch internet browser?

7:24 PMCodeNameZ​The google play store do kinda that, they recommend you games on what you recently download

7:26 PMPeter Gensler​I feel like people are just looking for something to complain about when they mention the internet browser. Console browers are horrible and most people have smartphones on them always.

7:29 PMCodeNameZ​I played the DEMO on my phone of FNAF 2…. I got jump scared I trew my phone and deleted the demo right away

7:29 PMTassadarky​A friend of mine had suggested making a FNaF VR game. I’d be surprised if they didn’t with the rate they release sequels for that series along with the rise of VR lately.

7:30 PMCodeNameZ​I did today to look up a Mission on Mass Effect 3

7:30 PMScottyJayMan​I’m using my PS4 to watch this show.

7:30 PMeathdemon​I some people use them to watch youtube, crunchyroll ect on their tv

7:30 PMCodeNameZ​Wii U Mass Effect 3

7:30 PMTassadarky​I used to use the PSP browers all the time, then again, it was before I got a smart phone.

7:31 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​I’ve heard that the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie is being made by Paramount but I’m not exactly sure I mean I agree with you completely it’s a hit or a Miss in terms of what it’s going to be like

7:32 PMTheRiverAnduin​is Paramount a Viacom company?

7:32 PMCodeNameZ​Talking about browsers if you try to go to My Nintendo with your Wii U browser it says it is not a supporter browser

7:33 PMeathdemon​funny thing, I ran across a film website, that doesnt cover games, talk abou who they think should play overwatch heros in a live action overwatch movie

7:35 PMeathdemon​I am glad its dying good bye to good rubish

7:36 PMTheRiverAnduin​did Disney close down their studio that made the infinity games?

7:37 PMCodeNameZ​Well I hated Guitar Hero back in the day because you need a special controller to play it, even using a normal controller would be just fine

7:37 PMeathdemon​they confirmed destiny 2 will be out this year as well, but I will be to busy playing overwatch to care

7:38 PMCodeNameZ​I have Supercharges for my Wii and the Supercharged Bowser

7:39 PMTheRiverAnduin​unless the Switch sells tens of millions this year do not expect top tier third party games to come

7:39 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​I hope that’s not the case because I was actually reading about the horror attraction based off of Five Nights at Freddy’s at Circus Circus and I’m sorry to say this but it was a letdown

7:40 PMCodeNameZ​I liked the gimmick of Trap team and Supercharges

7:40 PMPeter Gensler​I never got anywhere near 100% on Lego City Undercover, so I’m buying the 1080p version for Switch. From what I gather from the cover art and trailer, there may be new content

7:40 PMCodeNameZ​Do you find it interesting that the Switch version of Skylanders will use the Switch build in NFC scanner

7:43 PMScottyJayMan​But you can now play just dance outside

7:43 PMPeter Gensler​Oh god I can’t imagine the embarrassment

7:43 PMCodeNameZ​Dont you wanna to play Just Dance in an airplane?

7:43 PMeathdemon​is it me, or is the switch 6 months early, and $50 to much?

7:44 PMPeter Gensler​I’m buying the Switch with Zelda, but I’m a hardcore Zelda fan.

7:45 PMeathdemon​more games/ more system functionality. the system seems half backed

7:45 PMeathdemon​the switch would kill at $250

7:45 PMTheRiverAnduin​if Nintendo had a brain they would buy the Timesplitters IP from Cytek UK and give it to Retro to make a new game

7:46 PMEddie Santana​19 days to go

7:46 PMPeter Gensler​If you compare the WiiU’s launch year games to Switch, I think the Switch is looking much better. The best WiiU launch year game was what… Another 2D Mario platformer?

7:46 PMCodeNameZ​Only the trolls mentions 1-2 Switch 😉

7:47 PMeathdemon​gamestop is dying anyways. digital is killing it thankful good bye to bad rubish

7:48 PMTheRiverAnduin​I have been burned by GameStop for gutting games, I only buy used from them unless i see it is sealed.

7:53 PMIcyLady58- Gamer Extraordinare!​it’s bad enough that a couple of the games I got from Walmart head tape I could not remove by hand I had to remove it with scissors

7:53 PMeathdemon​did you guys see the yoy sales drop for gamestop? it dropped 16%

7:53 PMLyricallyC​I can answer your toys r us question

7:54 PMCodeNameZ​I know back in the day when there ware video rental stores they had empty VHS boxes displayed

7:55 PMLyricallyC​only the pre sale tickets are the ones that done that way

7:55 PMTheRiverAnduin​toys r us was great for sealed games

7:56 PMeathdemon​gamestop is desperate that 16% drop in sales

7:56 PMCodeNameZ​I remerber when I hear the stories when gamestop got Xenoblade Wii they say the stores to remove the sealing and sell it for $80 as used

7:59 PMCodeNameZ​How you explains than that Walmart sells phones

7:59 PMeathdemon​trust me 90% of all pc sales are digital now

7:59 PMTassadarky​Walmart offsets it’s electronics (gaming included) with their other departments, so they would still sell an all dlc console.

8:00 PMeathdemon​games sales I mean

8:00 PMCodeNameZ​There are already like 5 companies making Switch cases

8:01 PMCodeNameZ​There are already 3rd party grips for $15
