I've been submitting a lot of games to IGDB lately, usually I've been lazing out on the box arts, just taking a screenshot of a title screen or using a YouTube thumbnail and calling it a day (most of these submissions are of fangames, ROM hacks, flash games, bootlegs, e.t.c. - stuff that typically goes without box art - since those are the only games not on there already) - but I felt like making a custom poster for one specific submission (probably the one game I was most surprised by the absence of given its infamy) and I think I've created a poster that goes very hard. Jurassic Park/Mortal Kombat vibes.

Nintendo's retro game preservation is a really weird Russian roulette of just how much they devote. Like, obviously, all of Nintendo's emulation bases have been historically worse both in features and performance than emulator offerings at the time, that's no surprise, but on a game-to-game basis, you're dice rolling between A. perfect digital replications of Blockbuster Pokemon Snap and StarTropics water paper, and complete E-Reader level sets for SMB3 Advance; or B. Mario Tennis with half of the characters unavaliable; Super Game Boy-coloured games in strictly monochrome; and an entirely rental-driven Pokemon Stadium meta.

If anything has the right to do evil Mickey/Pooh (in the sense of "would it be a good idea", not legally), it is Shrek 5.

the rating board says emio has suicide themes.

oh no, we all know how smash fans are about... that.

im watching the cancelled n64dd games dykg video, and the part where they cut to kimba saying "you must eat me" felt like an mcu reveal but like, it's the... misconception-busting-video-essay cinematic universe

This video randomly came back into my head a few days ago.

If Chris Pratt is in the next Ghostbusters movie, as has been rumoured, that will mean all 4 major Garfields (Music, Welker, Murray, Pratt) will have been Ghostbusters.

G-Force is the movie that made me realise movies can be bad, I think I've said this before, but Bee Movie was the first movie that made me realise movies can be entertaining but have extremely annoying flaws, which might be even more depressing.

(for reference, that flaw was Honex saying they'll "work Barry to death" but Barry and Adam working for them being the happy ending)

ok but actually what was up with rayman in the ice - how do you get such a close proximity by accident while also having that same character present in the game. surely someone at some point had to have said "hey, look, that abstract frozen fire texture kinda looks like rayman struggling to escape"

I like how the DuckTales reboot basically built an entire season's story arc out of wanting to use a cool 80s game song.

I recently found out that Disney owns the cartoon "Crusader Rabbit", the literal first television cartoon, through Fox and apparently they just... don't know, or at least don't care? It's not on Disney+, and the only time Disney has ever used him was as a Funko Pop in 2020, probably a pre-buyout holdover. Like, wouldn't that be the perfect character for Disney to use for pre-nostalgia-zone merch aimed at history buffs like they do Oswald and, in the parks, Gertie the Dinosaur?

Which side are you on in the Android-21-ified Simpsons rep race?

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 8, 2024

Woah, they actually did Yoshi's Story All Melons at GDQ. I had heard of that being like a big mythical meme for the event.

I really hope crossover skins like MVS' Matrix/Jason mask skins catch on in platform fighters. As a guy who chooses characters based on function instead of emotional attachment, a skin for Donatello where he has a Rocko shirt or Marth with a Duck Hunt mask would be a godsend.

every time i go on youtube shorts i see something utterly surreal, and this might be the most bizarre one yet.

I'm not saying these are valid substitutes for a new game, but it's really weird how Donkey Kong (particularly Country) fans will say "We're so starved!" when they've got a major role in one of the highest grossing movies of the year, and basically the biggest signifier of cultural relevance (sans Avatar): a devoted, major theme park land.

You know how people have kinda grown sick of "EVIL MICKEY RUNS DISNEY" satire and now want to portray him as a victim? I feel the same way towards bored monkey NFTs. It's not the funny monkeys' fault their faces are attached to an MLM. They must be released from the blockchain prison.

"They're hiding 11 fully complete characters from playtesters" is the Earthquake Theory of NASB.

I may have a go at writing the Smash Ballot article, that being said, certainly not yet, and I also am struggling to think how to talk about this subject to a slightly larger audience, some of whom probably will have never as much as considered the idea of the ballot being bad, without coming off as vindictive or judgemental and without criticising any specific character picks (I will absolutely discuss the Banjo-Geno/Chief-Sephiroth disparity, which being neutral about is gonna be EXTREMELY difficult). It also might depend a bit on the nature of the application, I don't want to be giving away my email address or such.

I'm not particularly phased by the passing of time, it's sort of a personal in-joke for me that I stopped keeping track of my age somewhere in my teens, but GOD DAMN, 2 years until the 20th anniversary of the Wii?

I do hope that some elements of Sportsmates are incorporated into Miis in future - particularly their lack of gender and ability to (easily) be given animal features.

I had always heard about the "AVGN scandal" and the TheCinemassacreTruth subreddit, and had always been a bit skeptical but never looked into it, so after watching a bit of the Dan Olsen video, noticing how mundane and trivial his criticisms (if that) of Rolfe were and how the comments were ragging on the subreddit, I decided to check out said subreddit... uhh, so all they did, all this time, was just insult Rolfe's appearance???? THAT'S IT???? it feels like this subreddit was pre-emptively made while waiting for a non-existant scandal to happen.

The concept of Wikipedia articles for YouTube individual videos isn't funny inherently but then you actually read one and it's hilarious, the idea of talking formally about $456,000 Squid Game in Real Life! and having an infobox listing off its budget, source material, release date, languages

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/$456,000_Squid_Game_in_Real_Life!

there are so many ideas for smash that i adore on paper but i just know that sakurai's obsession with cosmic horror would screw up.

Wario Wario Wario · Jul 6, 2024

I really, REALLY hope these bots are stating they have "Genuine Womans" or whatever as opposed to a fellow AI, because the alternative is VERY VERY BAD.

When I had discovered that a lot of commercials entered the public domain either through non-renewal, a lack of copyright notice, or in the case of 80s works, both of the above - and consequentially a good chunk of iconic commercial mascots were PD - I had an epiphany when I remembered that Milhouse debuted in a commercial in 1988, the last year when something could become PD through a lack of notice. So I looked up the commercial and...

When I saw this, I had a nightmare about valid copyright notices the same night.
