    When I first played Twilight Princess I wanted to keep wearing the Zora Armor in place of the typical green tunic because I thought it looked cooler.

    I certainly tried to do so, but I eventually had to switch back because the increase in damage you take from fire and ice while wearing the Zora Armor really makes this course of action too unviable.

    There’s a lot of disdain out there for Bowserciding and Ganonciding, but there are two other characters that are able to pull off that same trolling strategy even if their methods for it are slightly less effective.

    Those characters are Kirby and King Dedede. If you don’t swallow the opponent or spit them out after inhaling them, then you can turn around and jump off the edge with them still in your mouth. Though they are able to button mash to try and break free.

    I know this was possible to do in Brawl, though I’m not 100% sure on the games that followed.

    Do people still debate about whether or not characters can be added as fighters if they're already assist trophies within the same game?

    Let it be known that just because you teach a class in game programming doesn’t mean you’ll always have good takes about gaming.

    The teacher in the game programming class that I took years ago once said that pink is a lame color and any character that is that color is also lame.

    I asked him in response “Have you ever heard of Kirby?” and he replied with “Kirby is white.”

    Fans of fire type starters might cringe at the idea I'm about to suggest, but in a future pokemon generation, name the professor Professor Palm and give him a side hobby of martial arts that involve palm strikes. And inspired by that, make fighting the secondary type for the final evolutions of all 3 starters.

    Since the next Pokémon Legends game has Lumiose City involved, I wonder if it will have THAT food that you can get at a restaurant in Lumiose City in X and Y.

    For those not in the know, the thing I’m referring to as THAT food is Washed-rind cheese made using a female Arbok's Toxic poison.

    Watch that be the new potato mochi.

    In Kid Icarus Uprising, Pits victory quote when defeating the boss of the space pirate ship triggers me more then it should.

    The boss of that chapter is a giant octopus, but when Pit defeats him, he says “Kalamari’d!”

    …….Pit, Kalamari is not Octopus. Its Squid.

    Back in a time where Brawl had not yet been released, but Sonic had already been announced for the game, I saw a video that combined some clips from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog with the part of Sonic’s Brawl reveal trailer where he used his down throw on Donkey Kong.

    It used the fact that Sonic’s shoes were in the “No Hopers” trash bin of Cranky Kongs top video game hero rankings in Donkey Kong Country 2 as inspiration to make Sonic enact his violent revenge against Donkey Kong.

    One of the comments on that video said “He should be mad at Diddy! It’s his game!” but when you really stop to think about it, the one Sonic should really be mad at is Cranky. He’s the one that put Sonic in that ranking in the first place, so he’s the true target for the blue blur’s violent revenge.

    And this is why Cranky Kong is not playable in Smash.

    As far as I’m currently aware, the PlayStation 3, any PlayStation systems the came after the PS3, and all Xbox consoles, do not have any emulators.

    Is this actually the case? Or are there emulators for those systems that I’m just not aware of?

    The OG Xbox and Xbox 360 have fairly functional emulators, missing most of the library but can play some relatively intensive games without too much worry. The same goes for the PS3 but PS3 emulation is more advanced, largely out of necessity. Anything beyond that isn't much right now, people are working on PS4 emulators but it's just at "can get to the title screen of Bloodborne" level currently.

    I know we're not exactly in the Halloween Season yet, but I got a question for you all.

    So, those 3 Halloween cereals that people look forward to being back on grocery store shelves once Halloween season is upon us. You know, Count Chocula, Boo Berry, Frankenberry, those cereals.

    Which common Halloween Monster would you want to sick on me now that I've revealing that in the 32 and a half years I've been on this earth, I have never had a single bite of any of the 3?

    Well that was a neat surprise.

    I was walking through town and saw one of those street events where some people gather as they play songs over a boom box.

    I don’t actually know what those events are called, but the song they were playing as I was walking by was the first season theme song for Pokémon.

    Can’t say I was expecting that, but I’m certainly not complaining.

    I've shared a couple top 10 lists done by blockfort.com on here before. And recently they just posted the last top 10 in a series they've been doing of top 10 characters that are a certain color of the rainbow.

    I'm not going to post the full lists for 6 different top 10s here, so instead I'll just mention the number 1 entry and a single other entry that stood out as a unique pick to me for each list.

    Red:

    Number 1 - Knuckles

    Unique Entry - Tako from Parodius (Number 5)

    Orange:

    Number 1 - Q Bert

    Unique Entry - Agumon (Number 9)

    Yellow:

    Number 1 - Pac Man

    Unique Entry - Super Sonic (Number 6)

    Green:

    Number 1 - Yoshi

    Unique Entry - Abe from Oddworld (Number 9)

    Blue:

    Number 1 - Sonic

    Unique Entry - Raziel from Legacy of Kain (Number 8)

    Purple:

    Number 1 - The Purple Tentacle from Maniac Mansion

    Unique Entry - The Dragonlord from Dragon Quest (Number 10)

    Joke Time!

    Why did Nintendo fire their lawyer from the N64 Era?

    Because that lawyer wanted to use the bonus stars in Mario Party as a reason to sue Coinstar.

    I've seen people state before that they wish the Spirit of the Hero in the Legend of Zelda would incarnate into something other than a Hylian every once in a while.

    Which isn't exactly far fetched territory anymore. Thanks to the Ancient Hero's Aspect in Tears of the Kingdom, we now know that there was a hero who was at least part Zonai.

    And to be honest, I don't exactly dislike the idea of the Spirit of the Hero reincarnating into other races from time to time (at least not on paper) but I must admit I'm having trouble envisioning a Goron wielding the Master Sword because of their huge hands.

    You know, for as many gripes as people have with Skylanders, a lot of the new dragons they created for the game (meaning Skylanders original dragons, not Spyro and Cinder) have some pretty cool designs.

    Sometimes a gamer who grew up in eras like NES and SNES will tell you memories they have of other kids making up fake rumors about games. It was kind of a precursor to trolling in a way.

    When I was a kid I was pretty lucky in this regard because I only ever had 1 instance of someone telling me a fake rumor about a game.

    That rumor was that Mario Kart Double Dash had a secret kart called the Flying All-Star Kart, and that it has that name because it was the only kart in the game that had an ability to where if you were falling off the edge, you would be able to mash the shoulder buttons to fly back onto the course.

    I can already tell that Super Mario Party Jamboree has one thing going for it that think would give it an advantage over Mario Party Superstars, but at the same time there’s a possibility of a disadvantage that I hope doesn’t actually end up being the case.

    That disadvantage is that, the people I have available to play Mario Party with locally aren’t too big on motion controls. So if the Joy-cons end up being the only controller option the game uses, my multiplayer options for the game will be reduced.

    The advantage however is the character roster. Mario Party Superstars didn’t have any of the more out there playable characters like Koopa Kid, Spike, and Monty Mole.

    Those kinds of characters are my favorites to play as in Mario Party, so I’m happy that Jamboree is confirmed to at least have Ninji.

    The line-up of Mario Sports games on Switch is a weird thing to witness in terms of reception.

    I’ve seen a few claims here and there that the Mario Sports titles on Switch sadly fall a little short compared to the ones on N64 and GameCube, yet I also remember Mario Tennis Aces getting a solid amount of praise when it first came out and I’ve seen a few clips from streams of people enjoying Mario Golf Super Rush as well.

    For me personally I’ve never been super invested in Mario sports games to begin with, so it’s not the biggest deal either way for me specifically, but when trying to figure out how the sports games on switch did overall, so things like sales, reviews, fan reception, and so on, I honestly am not sure where they landed.

    Here's my thoughts on Tennis aces and Golf super rush (haven't played Strikers battle league). For context, I never played any of the previous Mario tennis games, and the only Mario golf games I've played is the one on the GBA. Tennis aces I found it very boring, the gameplay just didn't clicked at all with me and I found the game to be super repetitive after less than 10 hours. Golf it was fine I guess, it has some cool ideas, but the gameplay was a bit too simple for my taste. The post launch courses were nice additions, because base game courses were very generic and bland.

    Overall, I don't hate those games, but they're definitely stick out as pretty disappointing compared to other first party Switch titles. It's kind of sad, but I have a feeling those games don't have a lot of passion behind them, to me they're just bland Mario products made to cater to a large audience, but they're not going to please any one person a lot.

    Interesting question, most of the complaints ive heard (besides Strikers which i heard had more issues) is over them drip feeding content trying to capture that Splatoon-esc success with that.

    Am curious if it was more of a loud enthusiast minority being (rightfully) upset after being used to having a more complete launch product who are also aware of the negative preservation aspect of this approach as well. Not sure alot of the more casual audience really care about those things.

    That awkward moment where you have a dream about a new anime with an interesting power system, but you wake up before an in depth explanation of it can be given.

    In this case, last night I dreamt about an anime where I was the main character and some weird merchant was teaching about some crazy ability I had to combine colored pencils with some giant key pad to produce a variety of elemental attacks.

    You had the usual stuff like Fire and Lightning, I myself had an affinity for Water and Earth, a couple less commons ones like Darkness were on the table, and then there were really weird options like the Lady Element.

    In season 2 of The Legend of Korra, Varrick goes all out for the presentation of the theater where he's airing the worlds first ever movie. Something which he mentions to the president of Republic City when he arrives to see it and as part of that he reveals "I even had this red carpet imported from the Fire Nation. They make the best red stuff there. Fact."

    But there's something that weirds me about him saying it's a fact that the Fire Nation makes the best red stuff. That something being that it's not actually a fact, by it's own nature that statement is an opinion......but like....who's going to disagree?

    I haven’t watched the full stream, but from the trailers I have seen I have 4 highlights. 3 of them are the common ones of The new Zelda, the new Mario & Luigi, and Metroid Prime 4.

    But my 4th highlight is the sleeper on the list. By which I mean it’s not going to hype everyone up as much as others.

    But I am a huge Fairy Tail fan. So I am definitely excited for Fairy Tail 2.

    As far as I understand, the dream sharing that people were finding weird about this site took a break for a few days. But now it’s back with a vengeance.

    I had a dream recently where Disney came out with a new movie. It was a Toy Story spin-off centered around Woody. Which is why they called the movie “Epic Woody”.

    Problem is, it was a “dark and gritty reboot” type of movie. So dark and gritty in fact that it was actually a horror movie.

    You ever do a google image search of “creepy Elmo”? Woody was redesigned as a wooden puppet that looked just as disturbing as those search results. And he had the exact same voice that Pinocchio has in the Shrek movies.

    Aside from setting up that premise, the dream only showed one scene from this thankfully non-existent movie. It was a musical number that felt like it belonged in a muppet movie where Woody just sang “Freak these other losers” over and over again.

    Only he didn’t use freak.

    Out of all the Champion Descendant Characters in the Wild Era, Teba was the only one to not become a Sage in Tears of the Kingdom.

    Which makes it all the more awesome that he gets to wear the crown of who is widely considered the best character in Age of Calamity.

    Screwattack.com is no more. This has been the case for a good while now.

    But one of the series they had in their later years was called “The Best Ever” which had certain members of the screwattack crew say what they thought the best example was of a certain category.

    But they also did the worst ever for the opposite side of the spectrum. And the episode they did of the worst ever mascot might just be their most infamous one.

    Granted the first 3 entries aren’t that controversial. The mascots chosen as the worst for those were The Noid, Awesome Possum, and Clippy, but when you get to the final choice, which was chosen by the founder of Screwattack Stuttering Craig, that’s when people might bring out the torches and pitchforks.

    Because Craig chose Gex.

    Inspired by what Inkling Man just posted, a lot of people REALLY hated Animal Crossing amiibo festival. But as someone who never played that game myself I do wonder, was it actually that bad?

    Needing amiibo to play the party mode is indeed kind of annoying, but if you have enough of them to actually play the game, and you're able to play it with some friends, is it actually a bad game?

    I haven’t played it myself, but from what I’ve seen, the real issue with amiibo Festival’s main board game mode is that the players have barely any agency over the fate of the game. You roll the die, some cute animations play based on what space you roll on, and that’s pretty much it. (You also have to spend a whole lot of time passing the Gamepad around and tapping your amiibo every turn.) If you have a bunch of amiibo cards you can use them to try to slightly influence the dice rolls, but good luck with that. You can choose to invest in the stalk market, and then you’ll either get lucky and destroy everyone or get unlucky and get owned, and there isn’t much else you can do other than that.

    On a side note, you only get one game board per Wii U. I get that’s how Animal Crossing towns work, but that definitely doesn’t make for much variety. Nintendo probably was shooting for the ideal of people taking their amiibo with all their exp and costumes unlocked to their friends’ house to use them on their own system’s game board, but… yeah.

    The handful of other minigames in the game, which are completely separate from the main board game mode that has no minigames, seem kinda decent. The most popular one of these, the deserted island escape game, is also in New Leaf Welcome amiibo, so you don’t need amiibo festival to play it.

    After all the characters in age of calamity are unlocked, including the DLC characters, there’s a bit of an oddity about the character select screen.

    Going from left to right, a total of 4 character slots make up a row before it moves down to the next row. But when you get to the final character on the roster, they start a brand new row. But they’re the last character. So there are 3 empty spaces.

    This weirds out a couple of people, including me. DLC for Age of Calamity is very much done, so it’s not like this will happen, but here’s who I would pick for 3 additional characters.

    Astor is the obvious 1st choice for a number of reasons. I even believe there was an additional DLC Pack planned for him that got scrapped for whatever reason.

    As for the other two, my personal favorite choices are Kass and Linkle.
