following the angry birds theme, i think there should be a thread about birds in games, comparing their AI and textures and stuff to see which one is the best.

There's a funcoland that's apparently open and near me and they sell PS2 and Gamecube games.

I must see if this is real because it comes up under Gamestop's store locator.

Yes but to sell games two console generations back. They must have treasures.

i have been thinking about what would make it work and it would basically be providing players incentives not to purchase property or to trade with other players, adding either actual game strategy or player psychology strategy, making Monopoly one of the best strip games in existence, forever relegating its usefulness only to college students

the way you make monopoly work is you play one of the dozens of better games that have come out in the past half century

i can't believe i'm about to say this but tbh i don't think the plot of the game would be all that bad for a kids movie. evil pigs steal birds' eggs, a group of birds gets together to get them back and cause mischief for the pigs. it's not mindblowing and it'd be one of those kids movies that probably suck to take your kid to (unlike Frozen or something) but it has the chance to not be godawful in every respect

I think I walked in on a highly illegal amiibo dealing crime ring and the fat people did not want me being there, my floating from Nintendo to Sony bothered them for fear that I would swoop in and buy up whatever store exclusive amiibos were coming out of yonder backroom. For I looked like a COD Bro but did not purchase any call of duty and I was eyeing games that they themselves would have played. This caused them to approach me with a massive chip on their shoulder.


But the Street Fighter HD and Final Fight Collection was only 15 dollars.
