re: Best smartphone for $200
Posted by starkag on 8/25/15 at 4:00 pm
I wasn't using my X all that heavily, I would usually have about 2 hours SOT and end the day around 20-30%. But once I got it on 5.1, it was weird, I would just always end the day with that much battery. I would plug it in at around 25% whether I had 2.5 hours or 1 hour, didn't matter. Definitely we...

I got the Moto G 2015, coming from the X 2013 like you said. The size jump was bigger than anticipated, but still manageable. It's about the size of a 2014 Moto X (just with bigger bezels/smaller screen), so it's really on the limit of what I can use one handed, but it isn't uncomfortable.
It is...
re: **RUMORED** Nintendo E3 Info

Uhhh, guys. Take a closer look at the link. It was posted 9 months ago, it comes from "my dad works at nintendo" tumblr, and one of the supposed announcements is Majora's Mask 3D, which was announced 7 months ago and released in february.
There is absolutely 0% chance that this is even sort of r...
re: Does anyone consider Zelda: A Link to the Past one of the best of the series?
Posted by starkag on 6/6/15 at 7:10 am
There aren't as many dungeons, sure, but I think each one is pretty high quality. When I play LTTP, they all feel so rudimentary compared to later games. LTTP is definitely hard, but not because the dungeons are designed to be particularly difficult (you just take a crap ton of damage from everythin...

You certainly aren't the only one. I'm in the minority, but I just don't find it as enjoyable as some of the newer ones.
There's nothing "wrong" with it, mind you. I just didn't play it as a kid, so I have no nostalgic feelings for it. I don't think it's bad, but I also don't think it's so hard ...

Historically, Toad. On MK8, I used Yoshi until 200cc came out, then I started using this guy for the acceleration

re: So who has bought Splatoon
Posted by starkag on 6/1/15 at 2:44 pm
I downloaded it Friday, and it's been hard to put it down since. I've been looking forward to it since last E3, and I am not disappointed.
It doesn't feel like it's "lacking in content" to me, but if you need more, it's coming. Tonight at 9:00 CT, the first update is dropping with additional mod...
re: Splatoon looks like a solid game. Releases May 29
Posted by starkag on 5/13/15 at 4:50 pm
I'm so pumped for this game. Already have it pre-installed, can't wait to play. My connection at home is pretty bad, I normally can't play online games without some visible lag, and Smash Bros is completely unplayable. But the test fire ran just as smooth as the offline, singleplayer demo that prece...
re: Splatoon Global Testfire
Posted by starkag on 5/9/15 at 1:59 pm
Used the roller for 1 round, didn't do very well. Used the regular splattergun (not Jr.) for probably 5 or 6 rounds, and dominated. Never lost a round, and I routinely got 1st place overall. Once people get used to aiming, the rollers won't seem so overpowered. Still useful, but 4 rollers on a team ...
re: Text app thread....best features and apps that have the most
Posted by starkag on 4/30/15 at 8:38 pm
Weighing in: Textra is a one time charge of $1, that's all. No subscription required. I upgraded without thinking twice when they asked me to.
I switched from the stock messenger app (old one, not 5.0 messenger) because it just wouldn't receive probably 2 or 3 messages per day. Switched to Textr...

re: Textra - Can't retrieve MMS
Posted by starkag on 3/11/15 at 10:26 am
I had this same problem, this fixed it for me.
Go to the phone's settings app (not Textra settings), more, mobile networks, access point names, tap on the phone that shows up. Copy down what they show in MMSC, MMS Proxy, and MMS Proxy Port. Then go back to Textra settings, MMS Settings, check Manu...

Not anymore! 20+ years old, played and completed every game in the series (that's 17 of them), and played the N64 games when they came out. Wind Waker and Skyward Sword are actually my 2 ...

Posted by starkag on 2/27/15 at 1:19 pm
I didn't love the wolf parts, but they weren't awful. Certainly didn't add anything for me, but I didn't mind it. My main problem was that I didn't like the dungeons. There were maybe 2 that were really good, out of like 9? Yall may disagree, but they just didn't do anything for me. Still fun, just ...
re: What are some other great 3DS games besides Link Between Worlds?
Posted by starkag on 2/23/15 at 11:06 am
I've only played a handful of games, but all of them have been absolutely worth keeping the system. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is surprisingly fantastic. Mario 3D Land is a good time waster. Obviously the OOT and MM remakes are safe. I've also played some old DS games my brother had, and got a few t...
re: How long is A Link Between Worlds?
Posted by starkag on 2/19/15 at 10:55 am
I did not play Link to the Past until I was probably 20 or so. I have no nostalgia for it at all. It was fun, but I didn't think it was as genre defining as those who played it growing up seemed to think.
Link Between Worlds, however, blew my mind. When I first finished it, I thought, "this must...

I know it isn't a popular opinion, but I just really loved SS. I definitely see the faults in it and can understand why someone may not enjoy it as much. But I just have so much fun swinging that remote around :lol:
Definitely one of my favorites, not necessarily one of "the best" if we are look...

Skyward Sword, Wind Waker, and Link Between Worlds are 3 of my top 4 games in the series. But he isn't the only person to make a good Zelda game, and not all of his have been as great as those 3. It isn't like the series will be worthless without him, but I'll definitely be sad to see him go....

Don't care what yall say, I loved Skyward Sword. Art direction, dungeons, story, gameplay, motion controls, everything. And I have beaten every single mainline Zelda game (there are 17 of them), so don't even try to convince me otherwise :lol:...
