Wario Wario Wario

I wonder if the term "Karen" will eventually get so ubiquitous that future generations will look back on Karen in SpongeBob the same way we think of Betty Boop's dog boyfriend being called "Bimbo" today.

This scam website is trying to convince people they actually sell "Chunky Kong Gets Resurrected at Taco Bell"

Hold up... a live action reboot that actually transforms the source material in a fresh new way? Sacrelige!

(don't judge me for having Vail in my recs, his content is trash but he's also literally the only toon 'tuber who consistently posts updates on small happenings)

I've said this many times, but it'd be utterly godlike if the last trailer was a bait-and-switch that makes you think a new FE rep will be in the game before revealing the real fighter is Crash or Waluigi or someone scrimblo-ey like that.

This is absolutely me when I am Hank Hill, the conservative Texan father and propane salesman from King of the Hill (1997 to 2010) and I open my window to see a variety of cartoonishly exaggerated CGI characters based on Newton, the wisecracking salamander with shapeshifting abilities from Ned's Newt (1997 to 1999) which was heavily inspired by Disney and Robin Williams' (1951 to 2014) Genie character as seen in Aladdin (1992); Etno Polino, the straight man to a comic group of 5 aliens in Space Goofs (1997 to 2006), also known as Home to Rent, notable for inspiring the Sega Dreamcast (1998) video game Stupid Invaders (2001) and having a theme song written by famous punk musician Iggy Pop (1947 to present); Igor, the assistant of a mad scientist in the horror-themed anthology series Toonsylvania (1998 to 1999) which was executive produced by Steven Spielberg (1946 to present); and the Silver Surfer, an iconic alien superhero created by Jack Kirby (1917 to 1994) for Marvel who was introduced in the comic strip Fantastic Four (1961 to present) #48 (1966) flying around my back lawn while laughing maniacally to promote a new lineup of television series targeted towards children within a 6 to 13 age range for the the television network Fox Kids (1990 to 2002), causing me to repeatedly express exclamations of disbelief to the point of breathing smog onto the window.

I think the root of "disagreement toxicity" in gaming fandoms is the fear/hope the devs behind the franchise being discussed is watching.

"Yeah, I like lo-fi"
What they think I mean:

What I actually mean:

Just found out Daisy hasn't been confirmed for Mario Party Superstars yet.

Hoo boy, if Daisy misses out on Superstars Nintendo will never hear the end of it, it'll be Mario Kart 7 Waluigi 2.0 (Mario Maker Daisy was Mario Kart 7 Waluigi 1.1)

Every yin...

Must have its yang.


No, unironically though. As long as it isn't a Metroidvania I'd eat up a Zelda platformer.

A moment of silence for all the awesome food licensed games that are held up in not just copyright hell, but also advertising-to-children-regulations hell.

OK, there's actually only just two and one of those actually did get a remake, but my point still - actually, no. It doesn't stand at all.

I know I've criticised the whole "nostalgic character to back up my opinion" meme style before, but this ain't opinion - it's fact. No politic spoiler tag here.

The Virgin Game Dev Tycoon anti-piracy vs. the Chad Just Shapes and Beats anti-piracy

The Terrible TV Shows wiki lists the fact Butch Hartman gatekeeps R34 artists as "fake fans" as a "redeeming quality".

What the hell is wrong with this Wiki's editors and admins?

I keep on seeing comics from the Lonely Roy guy on Google images, laughing at the jokes, then noticing how big and detailed he drew a background character's booba and getting mildly repulsed with myself for 1. liking such a comic, and 2. taking notice of that.

What is it with gamers and taking quotes from individuals, usually out of context and from people with no actual power, and assuming them to represent an entire corporation?

Why does every Smash mod have an ugly-ass vaporwave stage?

If you think game preservation isn't "profitable", just remember: one of the Wii U's killer apps was a direct port of a 90s JRPG with no changes other than fixing seizure lights.

Based Sonic

Neon Genesis Aardmangelion

(Yes, this is official.)

Has anyone ever tried to make a Vtuber avatar who is just repugnant? Like a Wario-lookin' fella with the wacky Nickelodeon faces doin' a funny voice?

The worst thing about celebrity scandals is all the terrible, asinine memes they spawn.

"Ahh yes! "Bedroom Toys" by Duran Duran! this would be the perfect song to play in the car on a family holiday!" - my mum when I was 7.

She knew exactly what the lyrics meant.

THERE'S MILLIONS OF DEBRIS ALL UNDER ONE ROOF

I've said a few times that I want my hopefully-future-game-star (at this point I'm just waiting until I've moved out of my parents' home and am trusted with my own money to start looking into learning game development) Daniel as far away from Smash as possible, and I thought it'd be kinda fun to write a "what-if" response letter for if Nintendo/Sakurai were to try and get him in Smash, written in-character as the pre-teen merman himself a la Marge Simpson's letter to Barbara Bush.

Daniel could become the biggest indie star since Sans and I'd still not want him in the game - in fact, that'd make we want him less. If given Toby Fox's power I'd prefer to bring attention to smaller indies when given the opportunity for Daniel to make big appearances. Call me the Bill Watterson of crossovers if you will. (Merchandise is fine though - but only plushies, figures, e.t.c., stuff only I could have the power to get made - fans on RedBubble/TeePublic would make way better t-shirts and mugs than I ever could.) The only Daniel crossover I can think of that I'd be interested in is with Bubsy. (the gameplay style I have in mind for Dan was originally concieved as a hypothetical Bubsy reboot) I can't help but feel some day I may go mad with power/profits and backtrack these statements, but for now this is my stance.

Note the very specific wording and image choice on Thomas. Marketing always lies.

If I was doing a Melee or Smash 64 mod a la Smash Remix or Beyond Melee, the first character to add would likely be a PlayStation rep - probably Crash or PaRappa. Brawl is a different case though, that'd absolutely have to be Pac-Man, nobody else. Mario and Sonic without the Pacster is just incomplete.

Just got the cursed YouTube banner ad

While I prefer a big roster any day, there is a charm to small game rosters as everyone has their "favourite" they know they're gonna play as before they've even put their disc in the system.

The plot of Earthworm Jim 3D is really funny on its own - Jim is in a coma and has to fight his female counterpart to save his masculinity - but when you consider Doug TenNapel's outspoken personal beliefs it becomes pretty awkward at best.

I can't believe they added

• the dumb bear from Diddy Kong Racing
• the yellow ball from Mario Kart Arcade
• the spiky blue guy from Mario Olympics
• the robot from Mario Kart DS
• the karate guy from that German Mario comic

before Geno. WTF

Since Nintendo don't have the rights to make a game called "Diddy Kong Racing", they should just use a loophole and make Dixie Kong Racing instead.

I'm listening to the latest Kongversation on DK's 40th and the part where Diddy's creator came on to send birthday wishes actually made me cry. He didn't even reminice or say anything particularly emotional, there's just a sort of weight to it.

If there's one myth I'm grateful for it's the "Miyamoto created Mole Mania" myth, it's completely 100% false but at the same time even less people would talk about and play Mole Mania if not for it.

The thing I'm the most proud of doing in the Infinite thread is successfully convincing the thread owners that the use of "Hell" in the original DK Rap would not be inappropiate because the same word was used in Smash Wii U as a direct reference to purgatory whereas the DK Rap's "Hell" is an exclamation.
