Like this

Search the word "Bug" online and you'll get snails, slugs, spiders, insects, worms, etc.

 

[Aurane]

I compare bugs to nightmares, depending on what it is.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Bug is basically any creepy crawly.

Bug=/= Insect

So don't say it does.

 

[wedl!!]

Glover 2 almost happened on the DS, and I would have liked that. I'm one of the people that actually really liked Glover. apparently

I can safely call Glover a video game.

 

[Pazzo.]

Bug = Arthropods, which are all insects, aracnids, crustaceans, myrapodites, etc.

So that's why your spider Pokémon are in the same group as the butterfly pokemon.

Wait.
Is Bloodstained still releasing on Wii U?
In 2018, for a console that will have been dead for at least a year??

I'm actually surprised they haven't announced Switch development yet in lieu of Wii U. If they continue Wii U development it'll probably be the last game to ever come out on the console…

Back in October of last year, Koji Igarashi himself discussed the issue with IGN.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/10/koji_igarashi_on_the_wii_u_port_of_bloodstained

TL;DR The Wii U port may or may not be canned in favor of a Switch version.

 

[Frostwraith]

People are hyped and all for the Switch event (I am too), but today is a hype day for me as well. 2nd season of Blue Exorcist anime starts today. Hell yes. I've waited for this for so long.

Now to get another Dusk Stone in my Pokémon Moon game. I have 2 out of 3 that I need.

Erureido Alright, time for a list of my favorite and most hated AoT characters:

Spoiler

Favorites

• Hanji Zoe- I love her kooky personality, mainly. It's one of the reasons why I love the first season of AoT so much. I enjoy how she studied the titans in-depth, and how she's one of the few up-beat characters in the series sets her apart from the rest of the cast, along with giving a beacon of hope in a dreary world.
• Annie Leonhart- Controversial pick, but I don't care lol. Annie was a fun villain in the first AoT season. Out of the traitor trio, I like her more than Reiner and Bertholdt, because she feels more threatening and powerful than the other two (especially Bert. He comes off as a wimp at some points). I also enjoyed seeing into her backstory, and how her interactions with her father turned her into the tough action girl that she is today. Her and her father also have a touching moment in a flashback, which was nice to see because it humanized both Annie and her father.
• Armin Arlert- A likable underdog who becomes stronger over time. I like Jacuzzi from Baccano, and they have similar feels. Both start out as wimps, but get tougher over time. I like seeing that character development out of 'em.
• Jean Kiershtein- My favorite character from the abridged AoT episode, and his development in the main series is pretty good as well. I might not like him as much as the top 3 I already mentioned, but he's still developed from a jerk and rival of Eren into a nice guy and one who strives to protect all his friends, and will even protect Eren, his old rival.
• Historia "Krista" Reiss- More than just a pretty face from the bit of manga I've read. When it's discovered she's within an important family, I like how she fights to get on the throne in order to help protect the people she loves.

Most hated

• Bertholdt Hoover- Out of the traitor trio, he's by far my least favorite. In titan form, sure he's threatening. However, in human form, he comes off as being annoying and whiny. Villains on the most basic level need to feel threatening enough in order for one to think that they'll give the protagonists a run for their money. Bert doesn't do that for me, unless we count his titan form.
• Kitz Weilman- The dude with the brown mustache and brown beard? The one who shouted at Eren during Eren's first interrogation? Yeah, that guy (I hope you remember him). He annoyed me greatly. He annoyed me because of his annoying voice and annoying personality. There are simply things about him that annoy me, and I don't like him.

I do my best, bud.

Now its off to bed for me. Tomorrow, I'm getting an Xbox One. I'm very excited.

Add me when you do.

Honestly, journalism and the news industry in the first world is a mess right now.

There's tons of corruption, bias and laziness when it comes to writing and sourcing.

Not to say that there aren't good channels/sites... But it's awful most everywhere.

http://imgur.com/7xHaUXf - I don't remember where I got this from but it's probably a good summary.

I'd recommend NPR the most to the people here, it can be pretty addicting if you know what shows to look for on their weekday/weekend schedule. The BBC is also pretty awesome and often will run concurrently depending on your region/time of day.

Oh jeebus Dash don't do it. Don't do it.

I just put away an in-depth discussion of the topic because I saw we'd scooted forward.

I was happy. I don't wanna get it back out.

This weather sucks. Too cold and we're expecting Sleet

This weather sucks. Too cold and we're expecting Sleet

At least the temperature dipping below zero doesn't mean the whole country going dip**** over "oh man is this that winter thing other people are talking about lets ice skate on rivers yay its winter"

This is what I call "The Dutch Circklejerk: It goes on and on version"

 

[Metal Shop X]

This weather sucks. Too cold and we're expecting Sleet

It's cold for you too?
Well, I guess I am not alone now. It's snowing here while December didn't have any snow at all.
Goddamnit weather, why do you do this to me?

 

[Wario Bros.]

If the weather data is true, the snow we might possibly get will excuse me from going to work tomorrow.

Even though my job is only a 2 minute drive from where I live.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

I love how every non-premium user is pranked.

I like it. Colorful

 

[praline]

Time for more Doooooooom

 

[Depressed Gengar]

I had crappy weather earlier this week. An ice storm forced schools to release us kids out early, and even caused the next school day to be canceled since the roads were covered with ice (and a few of them still are *coughcoughmydrivewaycoughcough*).
In other news, I made a mediocre Pikachu drawing... just because I could.

Spoiler

 

[praline]

Actually I think I'll start "The Final Station"

 

[Aurane]

Add me when you do.

What Lol no I don't even like you. Weirdo.

Yeah I'll add you. But remember, I'm not online often.

It's even worse/funnier in the UK and Ireland, how we react when there's even a bit of snow.

This is finally gonna be a real winter!

Told you so!

See, over here, it's not about it being a real winter. Below zero temperature is common, but snow and ice are not.

However, when snow and ice DOES happen over here, even the tiniest bit, people act like it's the apocalypse.

One example from secondary school I remember is that my school principal ended a day of school early because of snow, and he said over the intercom (completely unironically) that "everyone should be careful out there in the snow, it's dangerous as you might catch a cold".

There was like, barely any snow out there. No more than 2 inches high.

 

[wedl!!]

It was pretty mild for a snow day, actually. Not much wind chill.

I despise the cold but y'all down south are weak. One inch of snow and you guys (somehow) become more incompetent behind the wheel.

I think Dutchmen are too down-to-earth for those kinds of warnings hehe

 

[Deleted member]

Watching YoI now makes me realise how stupid I was
Stupid for not watching this while it was airing.
The music, animation, characters and ****ing episode 7 especially are all great and I love it.
Never before did I think I would enjoy watching 2D men in tight bodysuits dancing and jumping in solid water as much as I am with this anime.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Switch might be £245 in the UK.

That's roughly €280 for me. Which means it will likely actually be €300, which is the most reasonable price I could see it being.

 

[wedl!!]

£245 is roughly $300, for those wondering.

I don't really doubt the legitimacy of the $300 price tag but it's not precisely what I'd anticipated.

 

[Chandeelure]

Wat.

That's very cheap IMO.

Me neither.

I anticipated $299.99.
Still do.

 

[ChikoLad]

I predicted €349.99 for the base SKU in my Bingo Card due to the fact Nintendo systems and certain other Nintendo products tend to be €50 more expensive than I'd hope for, at least over here. But I would be happy enough with a €300 price tag. Not day one though, since that more depends on the games they will release within the first 3 months (and personal finances of course).

 

[Champ Gold]

So.

We're like that because we're not use to this weather.

Southerns are use to scorching heat and humidity up the ass, something you guys become the absolute worst because of it.

Just admit certain people from any area can adapt to said area.

Me neither.

I anticipated $299.99.
Still do.

I want to be $249.99

That would be the best thing for it and it'll an easy hit out the gate because of the pricing but $300 would be fine because that means Black Friday will knock it down to my price

You know....I really hope that, if Sony ever try again to make a console portable. They actually manage to have success with it.
I mean, sure, the PSP wasn't as bad as the PSVita. But in all, Nintendo have always win with it come to portable console. Say what you want about the company's failure (the Virtual Boy, the Gamecube, the Wii U, etc..), but it's a fact that, Nintendo + portable console = LOAD OF MONEY.
While Sony will be more like:
Sony + portable console =
what is even a portable console?

I can't see any reason why Sony would hop back into the Portable console market after the Vita. They'd probably sooner make games for mobile.

Yeah, you're probably right.
Still, it would be cool for Sony to win once. Not maybe win over Nintendo, but atleast make a portable console that is succeful.
Oh well, atleast, we have still Nintendo for that.

Spoiler: AoT Manga spoilers

Annie is also my favorite of the traitor trio for similar reasons you mentioned. I also grew to like her more when we see her again in the current arc where it was revealed that the traitor trio was responsible for Marco's death. She was the only one that called out Reiner and Bertolt for pinning down Marco. While she was ultimately manipulated into helping them when Reiner brought up her father and reminded her of her mission, you can tell that she didn't enjoy delivering the act at all, as she was bawling her eyes out watching Marco get eaten (this event was also what led to her going around and apologizing to the dead bodies with a traumatized look on her face). This and the way her father is brought up during that scene once again puts her in a sympathetic light. I'm looking forward to seeing her break out from that crystal, and something tells me she is the most likely of the Warriors to join the Survey Corps because of how she sympathizes with the wall people.

And I remember Kitz Weiman pretty well. Yeah, I didn't like that guy either. The dude is so paranoid that he lets his fear cloud his judgment, and he almost got Eren, Mikasa, and Armin killed.

Decided to try Yo-Kai's Watch 2's online battle for the first time.

Surprised I won without losing a single party member (and to be honest, I didn't put any real effort on making the team).
