Social NintenZone Social 2.0: Remember That Time Candle Jack Visited Swa

[Frostwraith]

Mine actually still work but they broke so I can't wear them anymore. They're broken in a way that can't be simply fixed.

IMO it's far more frustrating than them stop working as it happened with my previous earbuds.

I am of the opinion that memes shouldnt be in games unless they are specific to that franchise since chances are, its going to be outdated by the time the game comes out. You also shouldnt try to create memes, let them bloom naturally through awkward writing instead.

Everything can be fixed with a little duct tape. I used to have a pair that was more tape than headphone by the end of it.

Christ, memes are apparently the devil. None of you seem to have complained about 'my body is ready', 'your power level is over 9000' and 'I can haz battle? Meow' in Pokemon XY

Now I'm curious about Bravely Second's translation as I heard there were complaints from Japanese fans about the script being filled with Japanese memes.

Thing is, if I use tape in their current state, they will be too small for my head and be uncomfortable. What broke was the plastic that was inside that could be adjusted to fit the head's size. The broken part is inside and can't be pulled anymore to fit my head.

I did consider using duct tape, but gave up on the idea after realizing how the end result would be.

Only Japanese meme I know is Kenjaki, prince of Ondul. PushDustIn you know any Japanese memes?

I wonder if they'll directly translate the memes, replace them with different references or *ulp* replace them with english memes

I wonder how MArio Maker is gonna keep updating if they need to shake things to get more objects

Upgrading enemies or objects using the Fire Flower would be cool.

Personally I don't think memes should be in games, maybe keep them as an easter egg, but when you're playing a game and it has memes it's just... I dunno, weird.

Anyone remember what happened to Meme Run? I did hear it was removed from the eShop after a while but was there any statement?

 

[IceBreakerXY]

Wasn't the angry sun found in the game data's not that long ago?Wouldn't it be cool if they just sneak that in there with the other stuff

It broke copyright law as the owner of the trollface wasn't happy they were making money with his creaton, which is fair use otherwise

There was literally a lesbian on the last episode.

How are we talking about Daria in 2015?

If it can't be fixed with duct tape, then you're not using enough duct tape.

I don't know. I mean, I can see why memes are put in games. It's no different to when people sneak in references to popular works.

But I also go under the idea that all memes (like any joke) will die. And once the meme becomes dated, which is often very quick, it looks shoehorned. And at least with Twitter posts or pictures it's mostly a one and done kind of deal. But with video games you want to stand alone. This is something you want to stick with the audience. I don't know about making it 100% timeless with little thought of the times (as it will always be in there somehow), but if a joke gets dated, it gets dated. And what would be a laugh is more "oh hey this was funny a few years ago".

I thought that was just part of a text leak?

Nah. That whole misinterpretation can be chocked up to sprite limitations and a boxart that tinted everything blue (making his vest purple in the process). It's brown in the official art, it's brown in my art.

This one is kind of classic, but people still know about it today (my friends reference it even and they aren't that into the Internet).

There were some leftovers of the sun found along with some costumes.

I heard the last update removed all the unused stuff though.

Well... that's technically impossible since I thought the data was found on the disc. Or am I missing something?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Well, I certainly can't argue with that:

Having Akuma having his alternate costume in 4 as his default design would be sooo cool imo XD: P

To be fair, he's also been depicted with blue hair in the official game manual for the Mysterious Murasame Castle game

Some of the sounds for the unused costumes were apparently removed in an update, at least according to Beta 64's SMM video.

Dear god, I don't remember the last time I saw a character in any media that was as obviously lesbian as Kaorin in Azumanga Daioh

I take it you've never seen Railgun

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I take it you've never seen Railgun

I've heard of it because there's some Accel guy or something

 

[vaanrose]

Which is just a long tradition in pre-digital printed art. Blue represents black, because black is too dark to 'pop'.

Batman and Robin had 'blue' hair.

Spoiler

(In fact, while there's some debate about it, some comic historians believe Batman's blue cowl was always intended to be black, too)

Superman had 'blue' hair.

Spoiler

Even Mario originally had blue hair.

Spoiler

I've had this debate before, and ultimately, I decided to go with the original intent. I don't draw Link with pink hair, either.

I don't mind memes in games as long as it doesn't take away the quality of the game.

I believe we all remember this game cancer (thank goodness the creator of the face forced the game to be removed).

Oh wow, what is this?
Could it be?

Spoiler: liek if you remember

About to face the Electric Gym
I need a well thought strategy for this!

Ohhhh I thought of a fun prompt for discussion. It's also a neat bonding exercise we can learn about each other from.

Here's the prompt: one day, you're going about your business, and you receive a letter. But it's not just any letter, no...it's marked with the Super Smash Bros. symbol! That's right, you're gonna be representing your "home series" of sorts in Smash! But...there's one issue: you need to select the songs for your home stage.

Basically, choose six songs for your home stage. Any songs at all, so long as there's six, and they're songs that are meaningful to your life in some way. Then, explain why you chose those songs.

Spoiler: My Stage Song List

Nittany Lion Special - Penn State Blue Band
Sanctuary! - The Hunchback of Notre Dame
King of New York (Instrumental) - Newsies
Song for the Mira (Instrumental) - Allister MacGillivray
Carol of the Bells (Instrumental) - Traditional
Baba Yetu - Christopher Tin (Civilization IV)

Spoiler: Reasons

1. I mean, I go there. Alma mater and all. Plus we have the best songs.
2. Hunchback is my absolute favorite movie of all time.
3. Newsies is my favorite Broadway musical, and I love musicals. Plus, the whole journalist thing makes it fitting.
4. Story time! In my final concert choir performance, we sang this as per tradition. I was one of the five seniors who got a solo. :D Also finding a good quality instrumental version was tough, but it gets the point across. Reminds me of home, and instrumentally is essentially my Eight Melodies or Smiles and Tears.
5. Best Christmas song. I love Christmas music. Plus, I've sung it in choir countless times. That bass line, man. BUM. BUM. BUM. BUM.
6. Sang this one as well, if you can believe it. :D Had the single best Bass II line of any piece I've sung. So low, man. Also amazing to fight to, I'd imagine. Empowering.

Any takers for the challenge? :D

They can't set something up to immediately recognize someone drawing a penis on a Mii's face.

It's funny but they probably could, though technically not "immediately". They actually have a penis image detecting algorithm for miiverse lol

I can see them making a few textures from a mii render at different angles and then running them through a similar algorithm, but that's more work they probably dont want to do.
