I honestly just hope nothing gets too out of hand for either side. It's an important choice, and one where I'm not really sure there's a real 'winning' option.

If anyone in here lives in the UK I'd be interested to hear your perspective on this.

If I were in the UK, I think I would be on the supporting side. I haven't looked too much into it though so I'm not sure how it'll effect the world.

The UK youtubers I watch support it though

I have a weird connection with England considering the closest thing I am to English is a little less than 1/4 Ulster Scottish

Do they have a release date for DQ8 3DS? I'm actually looking forward to that.

I never fully beat the game. I missed some of those items you have to get by wishing for them

Britain joined the EU specifically because its trade with the other Commonwealth countries was much larger than neighbouring Continental Europe. BrExit sounds like a backwards step looking at that.

I don't want Britain to exit the EU, because I'm kind of worried that it would trigger more countries to leave the EU, and that will probably worsen the situation in the weaker economies in Europe, like Greece or Spain. Admittedly I'm not well-informed on the advantages of staying and leaving, so idk.

From the perspective of Britain, it seems like the rest of the EU is bringing Britain down.

From an extremist view, almost like leeches sucking Britain dry, depending on it's resources to survive.

A lot of the arguments against it seem to be "Shut up and take it, not for yourself but for the well being of others" I wouldn't want that kind of existence myself

To be fair...

Nothing will help those two.

They're doomed.
Well... considering Greece is already reeling with the migration issue, letting it crash and burn might not the best idea right now. Spain might hold out though.

Dunno, many say that the ease of doing business in the UK would take a hit, as being in the EU significantly eases cross-border trade. Most businesses don't want the UK to leave due to the uncertainties it would create. People would prefer a status quo rather than an uncertainty, given that UK would have to sign separate agreements with many countries again. Though being leeches is a bit extreme, yeah, I'm pretty sure they are dependant on Germany, actually.

I feel like the situation mirrors my own. But, from an extremely less important degree...

I believe Norway also broke free from the EU and they've been thriving. I think the EU has more to gain from Britain than Britain has to gain from the EU is all

Norway was never a part of the EU. It held referendums twice and both failed, although narrowly.

Eh, I wasn't sure. Like I said, I haven't done too much research. Norway keeps being brought up for some reason though

The Death Battle preview is up for Mewtwo. For those not in the know, Mewtwo's opponent is confirmed to be...

...Shadow the Hedgehog

Yes, that's right, it's not Frieza, it's the return of Ow the Edge! This is the second time in Death Battle history where a character that was already in a death battle will appear for another one but with a different foe; the first time it happened was with Batman.
Huh, I was expecting Shadow to show up again in the inevitable Death Battle he'll have with Wario, and seeing how much research they screw up with on the canonical info and stupid outcome that'll happen in it.

I'm pretty sure that if Sonic beats Mario and that Tails beats Luigi...

Shadow would be Wario.

I mean, most of the Sonic cast can dominate the Mario cast.

Do any of you have an opinion on #BrExit?
Opinion of someone living in Europe with many friends in the UK here:

It's an AWFUL AWFUL idea that I hope doesn't come to pass. The UK leaving would spell global economic disaster, it would remove free movement between Europe for all UK citizens, and most of all fracture the EU.

You're literally taking the financial capital of the world (London), with the strongest currency in the world (the Pound), out of the strongest economy on the planet (the EU). How is that NOT going to be an economic disaster?

I understand the sentiment of the right wingers in the UK, as they don't wanna take muslim refugees (I don't want them either), but leaving the EU is NOT the solution. If BrExit votes Leave, expect another global recession. I blame both Obama and Angela Merkel for all this. Obama for bombing Assad and getting involved in a war which didn't concern the US, and for allowing ISIS to become more powerful through his foreign policy decisions. And Merkel for being a liberal ******, and allowing 2 million muslim refugees to enter Europe when we don't have the proper facilities to take in so many people, nor screening to see who's coming in and whatnot. BrExit has been a thing for a while, but it's the refugee crisis that swayed many of the undecideds onto the Leave side.

Come next week, I pray to Odin it does not come to pass, or Europe is seriously ****ED.

I got more faith in Spain than Greece.


Greece is ****ed.
Spain is alright. I live here. I can tell you that the economy has certainly recovered. Though nothing will ever save the Spanish mindset and lack of work ethic.

Greece is another problem though. They're not only ****ed, but they're also blackmailing the EU with opening the borders and letting in a flood of refugees if they're kicked out. Turkey is also trying a similar scheme to try and gain recognition.

In the long run, the EU doesn't have much of a future, because too many unfit Eastern European countries were allowed in when all they did was drag the rest of them down. Rather than lead by example, many European leaders opted for actively getting involved in the nation building of foreign countries. And in the EU, the did so by allowing in poor countries into the Union. Yes, the EU WOULD be a lot stronger without the like of Greece, Romania, and half of the Eastern Euro member states. But there's nothing you can do about it now, as kicking them out will only fracture the Union.

I haven't got problems with the fact Sonic and Tails won there fights. I take issue with how they won.

I don't really like the way how Sonic won his fight with Mario. The way it ended was BS, Mario does not get dazed after the Mega Mushroom runs out, and they completely ignore how much damage regular can take, all they had to do was have Sonic, actually use a charged spin attack, and not an uncharged, and then I would mind so much.

Most indeed.

Poor Knuckles.
I still think that was stupid. Especially the way they ended it. Knuckles still should have won that.

They also slapped Boom Knuckles' character traits onto Sonic Team Knuckles which was really stupid. They are separate characters.

I want Brexit to happen.

But only because it would give Scotland another chance at gaining Independence.

But I have no idea what the consequences of both options will be so Idk tbh.

There is a new My Nintendo exclusive Link theme on the My Nintendo rewards.

https://my.nintendo.com/rewards/82df9c18e92f49fc

yeah yeah but what music does it play?
hmmm....well...this is an interesting theory I came across...

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's timeline placement is....all of them...
A Timeline Convergence...

I'm not sure I buy it since it's a huuuuge stretch, but at the same time...We have several elements that suggest a Child timeline placement....
-large emphasis on Sheikah technology
-that actually has a strong resemblance to that of Twili Technology, which they are likely descended from sheikah
-Great Bridge of Hylia

and then we have Koroks...
and various symbols and writing that's strikingly similar to that found on the Tower of the Gods

also the grove that the Master Sword is in is similar to that of ALttP, and there's various landmarks that take influence from the original Zelda...

Thoughts?
I heard that ages ago ever since they found clues for the theory within TP HD.
I can see it happen, because I don't know how the Koroks are here so it can't be before WindWaker. It also can't be the new Hyrule continent either...

So, Britain not leaving is just going to delay the inevitable or...?

It's just a matter of which side Europe/Britain looses the least.

I honestly don't really know, and I couldn't tell you.

No one really knows.

Some analysts are predicting a splitting of the EU between the northern countries, and the Mediterranean ones some time in the year 2030. But it's all up in the air, as there are several factors to take into consideration not just social and economic ones.
One thing for certain is that Europe currently finds itself in dire straits due to being led by incompetent greedy fools for the past few years, and no one really pulling their own weight. Add onto that a mass migration of a culture totally intolerant to western values, and yeah. Things stop looking so hot.

I WANT Europe and the EU to succeed, but there is a lot of pessimistic sentiment all around, and honestly, it's very well justified. For as much as I want the EU to remain, and acknowledge the serious consequences of leaving, I don't really have much to say against the reasons presented, because again, we're being led by fools, and globalization has proven to only make the corporations more powerful, and further distance the governments from their people. As Trump put it, "the nation state remains the true foundation for happiness and prosperity." Anything else just allows for more corruption and takes power away from the citizens. There are many benefits to the EU, but many things need to be done in regard to how the government is set up. More than anything though, it'd be REAL pity if freedom of movement within the Eurozone dies.

In my personal opinion, I truly do believe that the Union can survive if Europeans can let go of their individual national identities of "I'm Spanish, I'm French, I'm German, etc..." and replace it with a stronger sense of pride for being EUROPEAN, and what that encompasses. To me, being European means being in the epicenter of human cultural development that has been and continue to push human civilization forward. After all, all modern western values from universal suffrage, to the end of slavery, to democracy, to the separation of church and state, to equality regardless of race, or gender, all of those, those gems that have made the world a better place, were born in Europe through 1000s of years of bloodshed, and millions of sacrificed lives. It wasn't ONE singular European nation that did it, but the whole of European culture. I do believe this is doable, but only by continuing to allow freedom of movement, and erasmus programs, so that younger generations can continue to see the bigger picture over the narrow view of only your own back yard and your culture.

But I suppose we shall see. For Europe to survive it needs to further unite, and get better people in power, STRONG competent leaders who put their people, above all else. Not fragment and further separate. If anything is hurting Europe, it's everyone trying to pull their own way.

All that said, the future looks rather bleak not just for Europe, but pretty much the whole world. At least if current trends continue on as they are, and no changes take place.

And here is my main problem with Death Battle, the fact that they refuse to use the actual canonical characters in the battles.
