I have to wait until friday 230PM EST at the earliest.

I have work right after

The wait has a higher chance of killing me than a thrill ride.

Just tell your boss you have a special religious holiday called "Switchmas" and he'll have to give you the day off.

Say it's your right under the 1st amendment.

I'm so glad I found this in my recommended videos:

It's ya boy, Snorlax!
On a positive note: Yay Snorlax! :D

On a negative note: God dammit people stop filming in Portrait mode over Landscape.

This talk about potentially breaking bones just reminded me... in about a month will be the one year "anniversary" of when I broke my thumb. Gods... I can't believe it's already been nearly a year since that experience happened... And I hope that NEVER happens again. I don't need to go through all of that physical and emotional pain again.

I LOVE those kind of rides! I even like turbulence on airplanes because it reminds me of them. xD

The faster, loopier and more seemingly dangerous the better haha. But to each their own. On the flip side, I probably don't draw the line for thrill-seeking behaviour exactly where I should anyway.
Have you ever been to six flags by any chance? I love rides there, many are so big that if you go anywhere else the rides feel so small. X2 and Tatsu are my favorite rides.

I absolutely hate flying, but the worst parts are taking off and landing. I just have a dull sense of dread the rest of the trip, but that's better than a constant intense feeling
For me landing is the best part because I get a sense of relief, the rest of the flight I'm always on edge. I'm always freaked out by airplanes, especially over the sea for some reason.(Then again I've never flown over land.)

I'm probably late and this is probably fake, but has this been discussed at all?

Well, I managed to get play 3DS and Wii U when my thumb was broken. Then again, I guess it depends on the thumb you break. Utilizing your index finger to move a circle pad/ control stick sounds a lot easier than using it to press the A, B, X, and Y buttons. Either way, if an idiot like me managed to pull through with that, I'm sure you can too.

Atleast you didn't i,pale your thumb on a spike like I.
... Yeah, that sounds a hell of a lot worse. Did your thumb even recover from that?

Now i'm really scared. :(
Heh, well, it's not for everyone. I have a bunch of friends who reach their limit way before I do, I get it. Though imo there's still plenty of fun to be had at amusement parks without any of the crazier rides. Funhouses, the midway (especially good for losing money lol), haunted houses, sometimes waterparks. And simulated rides are getting bigger and bigger.

Have you ever been to six flags by any chance? I love rides there, many are so big that if you go anywhere else the rides feel so small. X2 and Tatsu are my favorite rides.
I haven't; we don't have any Six Flags in Canada, and my theme park experience in the States is pretty limited. I have been to amusement parks that are owned by Six Flags, but they have different branding. I'm not sure how similar they are, but they still have a bunch of stuff to them.

I'm glad it's not for everyone though, I like it when lines are shorter.

Oh yeah, I'm sure of that, there's some pretty big rides all across the world. But the six flags here in california has some of the biggest. I mention X2 and Tatsu because they're pretty unique and especially thrilling. X2 flips you around while you go at 76 miles per hour while tatsu is slower at 62 mph, it feels even crazier because our facing down holding on and it feels like if it weren't for the leg security. Here's videos of both since they're a bit hard to describe, but even videos can't show how intense these rides are, you have to experience it yourself.
Though there's still many fun rides there that are less extreme and more easy going, but still big and fast. Like Twisted Colossus and Goliath.(Though Goliath is the tallest roller coaster in the park at 235 feet and goes at 85 MPH.)

The AC Chronicles games are literally named after countries so it's not totally off the wall for them.

Watching the hype train slowly build up on NeoGAF and someone linked the original Kid Icarus: Uprising trailer as an example of a major hype moment during Nintendo announcements.

The voice acting feels odd to listen to having played the actual game. The voice acting in the final game feels a TON better overall, the characters are almost unrecognizable between the two. Even Palutena having a voice actor change for Smash didn't change her voice nearly as much as it changed from the first trailer to the final game.

And having watched Smash trailer crowd reactions, that amount of cheering is INSUFFICIENT. Or maybe it's just that Smash always gets the most cheering of anything ever, LOL.

This may have been a bit off the mark.

If there's two things I've seen people blindly throw all caution to the wind with before the chickens have had time to hatch, it's games made by people who aren't working at major established companies and Smash character support bandwagons.

And with Beck they got married and had a baby, but that was pretty far from the most common example of the latter so eh.

With normal companies people express caution with every game and Nintendo games in particular seem to have a fandom philosophy that their games can't turn out to be anything BUT bad, but send in a new guy with a company not really seen on the scene before and people will take anything they say as perfection without even questioning a thing.

There's a certain schadenfreude to watching the collective's blind faith fall backwards and crush itself considering the double standards floating around, although it's dampened a bit by the revelation that decent people blew actual money on things like this and in some cases are still getting ripped off.

Okay.

WHAT THE HELL IS THE FIRST ONE THEN

Is that a dead animal? I don't think that's allowed here.
*goes to look*

That is. . .the back half of a deer.

I'm kind of astonished that it would actually bisect that utterly.

You're all concerned about the shopping cart.

Literally everyone else is concerned about the run over dear with its entrails leaking out...

WTF
Clearly, Innards Out is the new hidden ability for Sawsbuck and Stantler. :p

Mind putting that image in a spoiler, SuperMii3D SuperMii3D ? I don't think anyone else wants to have their eyes burn out or anything along the lines of that with the image.
