Hey late reply here bara but congrats on the 2k days! I still visit this site once in a while but sad to say I don't visit as much as I used to back in the day. If you ever want to talk though I'm up for it, just send me a message. Also you're very right about my name, I couldn't have predicted that and I don't like smoking either lol.

I played this game a few months ago and loved it. It does have its flaws like you said but the overall experience was very charming. I feel like it's also a nice game for newcomers to any of the two series, as the Layton puzzles were all pretty easy and using hint coins during trials makes the courtroom segments a lot easier too. While I like that the story is typically Layton and it's Layton who figures out most stuff, I felt like the court segments were the better part of the game, as the games were incredibly easy compared to the main games. 

Congrats on the 4 years Aria! It's true that we haven't talked much as I don't visit the chatrooms these days but I had some nice conversations there in the past with you, and recently we also had good conversations outside the chatroom. I'm glad that you decided to not leave, most of the time drama is not permanent, and I think that this is no exception to this rule. Thank you for the nice words

Looking at many popular websites across the internet, I've noticed a lot of them go for light backgrounds that are easy on the eye (think of reddit, youtube and 9gag for example). An exception is imgur, but that's because the front page is loaded with images, in that case the background should not interfere with the pictures. But for most sites, a light background gives off a calm look and people will want to read what they're looking for. Like others said, this background can still be optional but I think another colour scheme would work well. The banner of the site could stay dark blue, but you could go for light blue or light green as a background colour, that would be close to what the default colour scheme now is on Vizzed.

Oh and the small retro game room picture shows Mario and Zelda, but seeing as they have been removed by Nintendo I think it's wise to change that with something else, as not to confuse people.

I agree with what TheFadedWarrior said about the layout of the site, most sites nowadays go for lots of space and images with less text, while Vizzed's main page is still filled with text everywhere. When you're a new user who doesn't know where he can find what he's looking for, he might get confused about the site its look.

But it's also because of how most people moved on from retro games to modern games. Nowadays more people in the world have a cell phone instead of working toilets so everyone can download at least one or two games on their cell phone, which is very simple to do and requires less time than looking up what some good retro games are. Plus if your friends are playing these games as well, you can quickly see for yourself if you would like it or not. Not only that, but people can also download emulators and retro games, so that they do not need internet to get access to and play their online games. Especially now that many popular Nintendo games can't be played here anymore lots of people will go away.

I myself check the site every once and then, but since I've retired as a staff member and have moved on to playing other games, I rarely post here anymore. I chat with my friends now and then, but that's pretty much it. 

It's really pleasant here right now! 18 degrees Celsius/64 degrees Fahrenheit right where I live, and as usual on sundays with good weather everyone is out to walk, cycle, look at flowers and other stuff. A few days ago, it was a lot colder, around 8 C/46 F at its best, so this is a nice surprise.

jokool : Truly the most serious song ever.

Well, I can't disagree that I like 90s games so much. And that dancing baby is pretty cool. Is it possible to keep the site like this, for like, an eternity?

RDay13 : I swear that if you had not mentioned this I would have very different thoughts about the thread, so thank you. 

I don't think we can call him a nazi, I mean look at this video in which he kills Hitler!!!

I agree with most other people here, if you watch it and can live a perfectly healthy life without running away from your responsibilities, then I don't see the problem. Of course, porn videos have twisted plots like brothers and sisters hooking up or scenarios in which blackmailing plays a role, but as long as you know that in real life that would not be cool at all, and if it's just a fantasy of yours, then it's no problem. And it's a good way to explore your sexuality, to discover what turns you on and what doesn't, and maybe it's good that these last few years people are opening up more to discussing about sexuality, sex, and porn in general, and doing more research on the topic. 

tornadocam : What's the source for your first claim? 

Spicy : You pretty much put my thoughts into a post XD
We're pretty infamous now because of our weeds and Amsterdam's red light district, but luckily we're also known for our bicycles and stroopwafels, and of course living under sea level, so I don't mind being known for the drugs and prostitutes as well.

Wow, congrats Enii! I do not know when you started posting so much, but it has paid off for you I see. I can understand you want to slow down, it sure drains your energy yeah. I did not know that this started as kind of a challenge/idea, so it's very interesting to see you managed to pull through and kept making so many posts.

Are you a real villain?

Have you ever caught a good guy, like a, like a real superhero?

Have you ever tried a disguise?

Ketchup or mayonaisse with your french fries/chips?

Chocolate cake or apple cake?

What do you mean?

Wow, the activity is awfully low now. What's going on? I don't follow the TdV that much when I'm not competing, but this is strange.

This game looks so very strange but creative. First of all, what is Mario's hat exactly? This could be something more awesome than we know. Second, I love a lot of the crazy stuff. New Donk City, a city in a desert with ice blocks, Mario carrying around turnips, Bowser will wed Peach? Nintendo is really experimenting here, but this has the potential to be fantastic. Also, Mario looks incredibly detailed, which I love.
