What brings you to GWForums: Just happened to come across the site thanks to @Crystal, though I've been familiar with GW for a long, long time. Used to be my go-to site for cheat codes, in-depth game guides, easter eggs, and glitches. First came across it in the early 2000s when looking up game guides for one of my wrestling games. I had so many fond memories of browsing through that site. Shame it isn't around anymore.

 

[Crystal]

Awesome to have you here @MC74

 

[shortkut]

so I'll keep it brief.

If this is brief then we have another @Raine on our hands… you should be so lucky to be compared to Raine.

Welcome!

I just want to say, Jordie Benn Elite! =P

Rude.

 

[MC74]

Rude.

Dallas needs help on defense though. Sure, they got Tanev, but they could still use someone of Jordie's calibre.

Jordie can stay safe and sound screwing things up in Sweden.

Can I interest you in a Ryan Reaves then?

But he's the kind of guy who can drop the gloves and deter people from taking cheapshots at your team.

That's ok, Dallas is covered there!

Meh, who am I kidding? Sure as shit ain't shining that turd, no matter how hard you polish it.

He's a valuable Toronto Maple Leaf.

Guy's so much of a liability on the ice he has to be heavily sheltered, yet given more leeway than the likes of Holmberg and Robertson because he's our designated enforcer. -_-

Yeah, well, that Robertson kid just isn't ready for the big time. Not like Jason Robertson, over in Dallas.

The gall of this woman, to mock Robocop!

Never! Everyone loves Robocop!

I know you well enough. You're a real sweetheart deep down.

How about dis Penguin then?

Eww.

 

[rktaker]

great to see you here MC

 

[Mark]

Welcome to the forums, @MC74. Judging by what you’ve listed in your introduction, you’ll probably find plenty to dive into around here.

 

[MC74]

great to see you hear MC

Glad to see you here too, rk.

 

[Raine]

Welcome aboard, MC74!

Final Fantasy series

You're in the right place.

If this is brief then we have another @Raine on our hands… you should be so lucky to be compared to Raine.

Don't make me put Hopper into timeout with a 2,500 word thesis on the chronic abuse many wild animals endure.

 

[MC74]

You're in the right place.

Speaking of FF, been meaning to pick up the FF7 remake for the PS4 at some point. Also wanted to play FF16 so badly, but I don't have a PS5.

Yeah, seems to be the case for a lot of folk with the PS5. Real hard to justify $500 for just a handful of games with the way things are presently with the economy. Kind of funny seeing the Xbox drop to ~$300 for Black Friday and the PS5 not moving though.

Yeah, that's too much money for me to justify buying it for the exclusives. I bought the Series X two years ago, was hoping that like with previous titles, we might have a chance of seeing it on XBox, but that wasn't the case. Looks like Final Fantasy is going to be a Playstation exclusive again from here on out.

 

[MC74]

A little gift for @Raine & @Crystal. Meant to do this earlier, but ended up dozing off for a bit. ^^

 

[Raine]

I was so worried when they said they were going to keep that as part of Remake.

But by all accounts it handled that pretty well! Other things... maybe not so much. But baby steps.

 

[MC74]

On a more serious note, I miss the turn-based combat.

 

[Raine]

Turn-based or bust with FF for me, for sure. I haven't played FF7R or XVI yet (have both, but... backlog) to really give either a "fair shake," but just on the general principle that action gameplay isn't what I come to the series for. XV was... I did not enjoy that, at all.

Give me Bravely or Octopath any day. And I say that as someone that adores Devil May Cry and J-Action in general.

Oh my jeebus lawd, don't get me started on FFXV. Didn't find myself enjoying the game at all.

Awesome to have you here @MC74

I second that; its' good to see you MJF.

 

[Webster]

How about dis Penguin then?

Eww.

@MC74 I did that once; Crystal thought I was lauding praise on Diego Maradona....
Speaking of which...

Had to gig you there, @Crystal darling....

Tehe. ^^
