  1. I highly doubt he hates Smash especially with how much work and love he does put into the games.  Now is he tired of it?  Yeah I'd say so.  Anyone would be if thats all they did for the past 20 years at a breakneck pace.  He probably does want to work on something else though Nintendo probably needs and would assign him to only do Smash so for him it would be retirement and find something else to do with his time or keep doing smash. 

  2. I'm glad the series is healthy and financially sound at this point.  Awakening isn't really that long ago when you think about it and the series was about to die.  I'm less concerned about fanservice and more concerned about more of the grievous flaws like bad avatar archtypes and mediocre to terrible storylines.  If IS can improve those things come FE Switch than some major strides can be made.

  3. Well thats a bummer that they'll end it with the Cell arc but hey that's honestly one of the best places to end it if they are gonna go out with a bang.  I really feel for them with all the copyright bs especially how draconian Youtube has become now with dealing with quite frankly trivial stuff.  I could be completely behind here but if they ever put it out on blu ray I'll be all over that (which is unlikely given copyrights and so on)

  4. As far as games that are confirmed here's what I'm looking at:

    Dark Souls (Switch):  never got the first one and at $40 on the go its a steal

    Mario Tennis Aces:  you're gonna laugh at me but this might be one of the ones I'm excited for the most the trailers got me excited and it looks alot deeper than I was expecting and I hate tennis

    Smash Switch:  Its a new smash game and will have a massive user base need I say more?

    Bayonetta 3:  Loved the first 2 so much I bought them again on the Switch

    Unconfirmed but likely

    Pokemon Switch:  Will no doubt be the biggest mainline pokemon game yet hopefully with multiple regions including some of the older ones

    Fire Emblem Switch:  Anyone and everyone on this forum saw this one coming ;)

  5. Cant really say anything about Prime 4s single player that hasnt already been said.  Hoping for a good well presented story and loads of things to scan epic bosses pretty much what youd expect from a Prime game.  

    I would like a online multiplayer option even if its something simple like Metroid Prime 2 Echoes.  Though if they do it right it could be something special.

     

  6. Couple of things here.  Just because you have a 9-5 does not mean you have to be miserable doing it.  While its tiring it is possible to find fulfillment in what you do and get joy out of pushing yourself to develop professionally either through training, certifications, and even schooling.  Perhaps I have a different perspective being in the IT field I always love learning to do new things and acquiring new skills. 

    As for youtube/twitch being real job as you indicate.  I would say that's not the intent behind it (you can make money from it maybe even a living which I'll get to in a minute).  I mean lets face it you have to get 1000 views for maybe a dollar in ad revenue which is sketchy now given youtube's almost tyrannical and biased crackdown on everything not MSM.  I suspect like most if not all people he just did it for fun as a thing to do and built up a base over time.  I mean you listed off some of his experience he was working IT, then did alot of time at Sierra, and then did Real Estate now I'm not saying the guy's anywhere close to rich but I suspect he's also had time to build up savings and get established in life by working hard in those stable professions and on the side he did Youtube for fun, was very good at it, and built a following.   

    Moral of the story?  Is youtube made as a means for anyone who uploads to be able to make money?  No.  Is it made to provide a stable income.  Hell no.  Can some people be successful if they approach it with a no BS attitude, outline a business plan/plan of action, and produce high quality content daily?  Sure.  But then again that's pretty much the case with anything in life.  They are just human I'm sure they get just as downtrodden, worn out, and tired of the mundanes of their Youtube stuff like anyone else at a "normal" job.

    You gotta remember as soon as you do something for a living it ceases to be a hobby and for fun and now its for keepsakes and gets serious.  My dad makes amazing BBQ and knows the ins and outs of it as a hobby yet he never would want to do business with it aside from the liabilities it then becomes serious and therefore less for fun. 

    I too watch MJR btw an amazing content creator. 

  7. There's used copies on Amazon for about $27.  You could also look up local retro game stores (non retail like Gamestop).  While they are not guaranteed to have it they might at a lower price.  2nd and Century is pretty cool I have one right by me.  You could also check out eStarland.  I believe you can order from them online but I haven't done so I usually drive up there.
