Did You Know Movies?

Two characters sharing a socially-condemned secret is a common storytelling trope that predates as much as the idea of LGBT people being acceptable by centuries

Jokes aside, it's great to see yourself in stories or even alter them to fit your tastes and experiences better, but don't deny it when people who worked to bring those stories to life say that wasn't the intent - or in the case of Luca, the literal opposite.

It's been an hour and DYKGaming still hasn't responded - that being said, their last Tweet was 8 hours ago so if all the DYKGaming guys went to sleep after tweeting that and they wake up at the same time, shouldn't be long.

I have contacted Liam Robertson on Reddit about DYKGaming miscrediting me for

BZocky 's www.Waluigi.com discovery

I know he isn't the guy who runs DYKGaming, and I also have a bit of a grudge against him, but he's also the only Reddit account I can 100% confirm has direct ties to DYKG - a comment I made on the YouTube video was deleted (maybe seem as spam since I put the link in it), the Discord link wouldn't work for me (I have a pretty awkward setup where I use Discord on mobile browser, so server links don't work there - doesn't matter in other cases, I use Discord for PMs) and Reddit is the only place I can easily prove my identity.

Partially on me for not discussing it in the thread, but it's still pretty embarassing they, as professional journalists, didn't check any other frequent Waluigi discussion spaces for previous mentions of the update - and I'm a little mad I got credited for someone else's discovery, even if it meant nothing.

Honestly, I love the term "Scrimblo Bimblo" - it sounds funny and gives a good way to refer to a type of character that it's previously been nigh imposible to quickly make reference to - "cartoon style characters", "cereal box mascots", and "mascot platformers" just don't roll off the tongue and seamlessly fit into a sentence like "Scrimblo Bimblo" and to be frank it's a term I hope the rest of the gaming community adopts outside of Smash, regardless of its outright malicious origins.

Imagine trying to shoot down a request as a "meme character" in a Nickelodeon game.

Wouldn't be me.

Seriously, the whole "X is just a meme" thing is silly enough with Smash where the literal first "newcomer" after the starting roster was Jigglypuff and the big saved-for-last surpise in the second game was a choppily-animated generic man from primitive 80s calculator games, but now we're talking about a game with Ren & Stimpy in it.

The entire staff of Activision-Blizzard and it's sudsidaries could come to my house and waterboard me over and over again, one by one, while laughing and I'd still buy any new Crash games they release.

I would have PTSD flashbacks while playing but still. Make a quality product in my realm of interest and I buy.

I find it funny how this is considered the objective best MK8 setup, not because of how silly it is but rather because it's an accidental throwback to a certain classic tweet.

I dunno how anyone could think Pac-Land or 75M are worse than TGCO or Yoshi's Island Melee.

Everyone has their own self-diagnosis for Sonic's downfall - when it happened, why it happened, what exactly decreased in quality, so on - but I think this gave me a lot better an understanding of Sonic's modern problems: Sonic makes big money in the West, but the Japanese audience just sees him as Sega's corporate mascot (like Mickey Mouse for Disney over here) - so regardless of dev interests, Sega's higher-ups don't want "good Sonic games" - they just want "Sonic games". While that is just a theory it certainly wouldn't be surprising with SoJ and SoA's history of in-fighting.

"A kids' show being smarter than Rick & Morty" is something people joke and meme about a lot, but to be completely honest there is likely more philosophical depth to and interesting questions raised by the SpongeBob "Alone" scene than the entirety of Rick & Morty.

I can understand saying "That'd be marketing suicide!" to say why something won't happen, but not to say something shouldn't happen. "Marketing suicide" is exactly what we as consumers should want. Risk-taking, focus group-condemned content made out of passion for what the creators love, not to sell game copies or film tickets.

NintendoLife released these mock-ups of NSO Game Boy... and oh god, this pitifully lazy.

How such simple images can have so many flaws is beyond me. The more you look at that second image the worse it gets - varying saturation from different prints, Pokémon Yellow being placed under Game Boy instead of GBC, the HUD overlap, a two-player option that would at best be inconvenient on Switch, an online option existing at all for a console that's multiplayer almost always relied on two people being able to see one another's screens, Final Fantasy Legend using PAL box art... Not bad as a fun mockup for r/NintendoSwitch, but not what I want to see from a professional gaming news site.

Even though a billion bucks if not more says it's a coincidence, the timing of Nick Brawl being revealed right as Smash fans were getting disillusioned at the over-animefied DLC and the Scrimblo Bimblo drama was reaching a breaking point was absolutely perfect for both fans and the Nick Brawl devs. I've certainly seen a lot less Scrimblo discourse since it was announced.

I've always found the classification of Simpsons as an "adult cartoon" a little questionable.

Not because it has historically been marketed to kids, nor because Ren & Stimpy and Rocko were getting away with way worse on daytime Nickelodeon at the same time (though both are factors), but rather because the show's adult themes are usually mentioned in passing or alluded to but not shown, which is pretty much the same amount of exposure an average real world kid would have to such themes. Plus in the age of streaming and parent review sites it's a lot easier now to filter out the very few episodes that do heavily center around innapropriate or risque themes. In fact I'd argue satirical humour like The Simpsons to be important to teenage development, as it teaches us to question both authority and our peers.

CommonSenseMedia's ages 10+ rating seems on the money, though you could make an argument for a more Lisa-liberal 8+ or a more Flanders-conservative 12+ - though if you agrue anything under 7 or over 13 you're making a Klown out of yourself.

On the Infinite thread we recently did a job to add posters for a customisable house in story mode...

and I must say, my posters certainly stick out a sore thumb - most of them are super cool and epic, you know, things people would actually want on their wall, like these:

And then mine tend to look like this:

I am absolutely cherry-picking both sides of the coin, I submitted some epic gamer posters and other users submitted cringe baby meme posters, but most of the cringe baby memes were on me.

I was thinking about fake Pokémon types, and a joke about "Milk Type" quicky evolved into me realising a Dairy Type or Cattle Type would pretty cool. Not sure what strengths and weaknesses it'd have though.

As much as I want PaRappa in Smash, I can't help but fear that Rhythm Heaven fans would be distraught over the hip hop hero getting in given he is the same genre and has an extremely similar aesthetic to Nintendo's in-house franchise.

First party purists and console war kids would be upset for the same reason, but no sympathy there.

OK, so when it turns out the supposed serial killer was innocent and their accuser gets the chair for framing them for their murders in real life it's vindication, but when I write a horror movie that ends in the same way it's "an unsatisfying and pretentious cheap-out"??

Everything about this game is hilarious to me

TPC's scheme of monetising Pokémon organisation dates back to the series' lowest point in popularity
They had the guts to put it on GameCube instead of GBA or even PC - the latter of which Pokémon was no stranger to at the time
They created an original character for this game who has appeared in later games and the manga
There's a giant disclaimer explaining the billions of junk needed to play it
There is no explicit "this is not a game" disclaimer on the box (I checked the blurb)
They could've easily bundled this with Pokémon Channel, but they didn't.
They called it Pokémon BOX.

Bowser Jr. in Smash is so weird, because his moveset has less to do with Bowser Jr. himself than Ganondorf's does to him, but in terms of design and animations he is quite possibly the most source-accurate Mario rep - honestly that's how I prefer a Smash character, the moves don't need to be directly lifted from the source, they just need to behave how that character should and use moves it'd make sense for that character to use, regardless of if they actually do in canon.

The Hello Kitty Monkey Ball DLC would've been worth the price if they stuck on My Melody or Badtz Maru along with her.

To be frank I don't think $5 is that overpriced to play as Hello Kitty given she has her own animations, we've just been spoiled by other games' compartively cheap cosmetic DLC - especially ones with more expensive non-cosmetic DLC alongside cosmetic content.

Those "flying gorilla GTA!" mobile scam games frustrate me because an actual realistic open world gorilla game would be radical - and I say that as someone who usually hates modern OW games with a passion.

"No, no, this is the best instalment - but you're playing it wrong. You have to play the Japanese second revision PS2 version with these 8 Gamebanana mods, avoid playing two of the six storylines, and adapt to flying out-of-bounds every time you touch a spring."
