  1. Now we just need to hear Liam Neeson actually saying those lines. lol
  2. Like many others in the U.S., my first exposure to Fire Emblem was through Super Smash. I first started as a Roy player, then switched to Marth. I was captivated by their overall designs. Then, I played Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken for the GBA. Sadly, I don't own the actual game. I haven't played any of the modern ones till Awakening came out. I don't own a GameCube or a Wii, so I was unable to play them.
  3. I got mine not too long ago. Mine came when I was already in Swapnote and was in the process of closing it. It's pretty nifty, but the Japanese is a lot better to me. The sky-blue background and the chibi sprite characters are just a nice combo. It just feels happy.
  4. Yeah, thanks! Added you back :)

  5. The figma Marth would be nice to get. It would be nice to see more scaled figures of Fire Emblem characters like the Tharja one.
  6. A brand new Zelda game would be fine with me. I wonder which timeline it would be following. I personally would be thrilled if they did a remake for Link's Awakening. This was my first Zelda game, and still one of my favorites.
  7. Hello. I noticed you wanted more 3DS friends, so I added you last night if you don't mind. My Friend Code is 2766-8349-1350.

  8. I do prefer the regular 3DS myself over the XL design, but congrats to the European fans and XL fans. Enjoy the bundle.
  9. I prefer the Japanese one the most because you get the actual game and the gift card. I still love my American Fire Emblem 3DS and having the game pre-installed is quite convenient. Eventually, I will buy a physical copy of the game. I do prefer the XL's bigger screens, but I'm not a fan of the XL's overall design. It looks somewhat tacky. The battery life hasn't been an issue for my 3DS. I get 4-6 hours of playtime on it, which is enough for me.
  10. I would like the Fire Emblem Swapnote too, please. I read people mentioning a Bravely Default one also. I would appreciate it if I could also receive that one if possible. I appreciate this being done for the community. Many thanks! Thank you! Friend Code: 2766-8349-1350 Name: Invanex
  11. Google showed me the way. I was looking up Fire Emblem related stuff and found my way here.
  12. For vegetable stir-fries, I would recommend a nice nonstick pan with any oil of your preference with a high smoke point. You want to cook your veggies with a very hot pan for stir-fries. The order in which you put in the veggies matter, so put in the vegetables with longer cooking times like carrots first, then the other veggies like peppers and peas. For Asian dishes, it is all about having the right ingredients and just practicing. It is amazing how one little ingredient in small quantities can drastically change the flavor of the dish. Pad thai is actually something I tried cooking for the first time a week ago. Making a home style pad thai is actually not that difficult. I think the hardest part in making pad thai is acquiring all the necessary ingredients. Pad thai has beansprouts, peanuts, shrimp, and other delicious healthy ingredients. There are various recipes, so I can post you a recipe if you are interested. Do you and your daughter enjoy spicy food? Also, are you familiar with Korean food? There are spicy dishes in Korean cuisine, but not everything is spicy. There are a lot of vegetable dishes and recipes in Korean cooking. One dish people love after trying it is bibimbap, which means "mixed rice". It is a rice dish with all sorts of vegetables and roots, an egg, Korean chili paste, and meat if wanted. Since you and your daughter like sushi, you can give hoedeopbap a try. It is another rice dish where you mix raw fish, vegetables like lettuce, sesame oil, and Korean chili paste together. The raw fish can be tuna, salmon, halibut, sea bass, etc. You can also try using parsnips instead of potatoes and carrots when they are used in recipes. One would be mashed potatoes. Interestingly, parsnips are related to carrots and have more vitamins and minerals than carrots do. You can add garlic, salt, black pepper, butter, chicken stock, etc. to make it flavorful. You can add whatever you want to it to make it taste to your liking, while keeping it healthy. Spices and herbs actually have a lot of nutritional value, so that is one way to add flavor to your dishes, while keeping them light and/or healthy. As mentioned before, roasting vegetables is a nice technique to bring out flavor. One other technique is to use alcohol in the cooking process. Alcohol has the ability to bring out hidden flavors because certain flavors are only alcohol-soluble. Tomatoes are a good candidate for this method. When cooking with alcohol, you want to first move the pan or pot off of the stove top and then add the alcohol, so it isn't in direct contact with fire or extreme heat. This should prevent any potential fires. You can try mixing certain vegetables with already existing dishes that you cook. Have fun experimenting. Cooking is all about trying out something new and having fun with it. I hope this will help you in some degree. Good luck in the kitchen and getting those veggies eaten.
