I was wondering if it was possible to eat horseshoe crabs, because they are closer related to spiders than actual crabs

Apparently the answer is "Yes" depending on what you consider "edible"

A doctor would say no, but that doesn't really stop people in the world from doing it
I don't think anyone needs reminding on what some people eat...and not just from the 2nd Indiana Jones movie.

Spiders and Scorpions are commonly eaten in some countries...no surprise horseshoe crabs are as well...

Well guys; I certainly had quite the experience this morning.

I must be one of the luckiest people in the world when you come in about 40-45 minutes late for class (each class is 90 minutes) and your professor basically says its alright after class (and yes, walking in on class was somewhat awkward). Turns out, I ended up coming in when they were about to talk about the more important content of the day. Either way, the reason why that happened was because I ended up working very late on something for another class, which caused me to get barely any sleep; in the end, it ultimately had less content then originally planned. As a result, I got about 3 and a half hours sleep and I ended up falling back asleep after having my phone out on my bed, which leads me to where we are now. I REALLY need to make a habit of going to bed early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I can't really sleep in as much as I usually do.

Either way, a lesson learned; I plan on not letting it happen again (I had a more minor case where I was about 10 or so minutes late, but that was less significant).

I knew scorpions were, but eating spiders seems less appetizing. And, I guess horseshoe crabs are also closely related to scorpions so that makes sense.

For some reason Scorpions seem less gross to eat to me than spiders

Unrelated to your post but I end up mixing up you and FalKoopa FalKoopa a lot more than I'd admit. >_>

Time management/learning to wake up is probably the hardest part of going to college, at least until you get the large essays/research projects. Definitely do what you can to make the most of the money you're paying to go.

Bucky O'Hare is totally Mega Man



It essentially has this level, except instead of death beams, it has flowing lava so you also have to watch out for stuff quickly flowing from up to down as well as left and right

LOL, I'm not actually sure I can beat this part. I always sucked at this kind of stage. You have to memorize everything

This is awful news, I got into the comic and read all the reboot stuff last summer.

I was really enjoying it too, like the only major flaw was the overuse of referential humor, other than that it was a solid comic. Really sad to see it go, but at least they finished the rather long Unleashed arc.
If someone like IDW gets the license, I hope they bring Ian Flynn, Tracey Yardley, etc. on board.

Even if they start fresh with a new continuity, I think fans would be happy knowing there's familiar talent.

Also, with IDW, we could possibly get a Sonic and Ninja Turtles crossover.

I hate RD more than most people but i,never see the hate like Binding Blade, Awakening and Fates got.

They said it's a great game. It like Fates, funny enough. The gameplay is improved but it has so many garbage issues that hold it back.

PoR is a fantastic game that will never get any love because it cost more than a 3DS to buy physically

This stage isn't too terrible but man it's annoying how Capcom likes revisiting it so much.

It pops in the X, Zero and Battle Network series too.

I've never played a Fire Emblem game I haven't liked. All of the ones I've played so far, I loved. (Conquest was probably my least favorite due to sheer difficulty though)

Once again, Zhuge makes a pretty good point in regards to the success of consoles. Sales numbers are not some end-all be-all measurement sucess, but rather just major indicator. Here's to hoping that Nintendo can keep an engaged audience this time around. I'll admit my wii u collects tons of dust right now much like a lot of people probably.

On Fire Emblem: I've played all the English releases with the only one I've disliked being Shadow Dragon. Everything about just seems so dull and lifeless really.

Shadow Dragon was just an updated version of the first FE. It didn't use any of the modern advances of the series for... some reason.

Arlo is pretty excited.

And you know he can be pretty critical at times.

You know what I would like to see for the Switch. Some program to port over WiiU games with minimal changes and sell them as budget games. There's a lot of good WiiU games that aren't in need of an update and didn't use the touchscreen much. Things like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, the HD Gamecube Zelda remakes, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 1&2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Wonderful 101 and Pokken Tournament. Granted those last two have minor problems (competing with FE Warriors/missing 3DS content and missing new Arcade additions) but it would help out those who missed out on the WiiU entirely. Plus it would help out with the whole Wolf Link amiibo think in the case of Twilight Princess.

It's hard for me to stay mad at the game or look down upon on it because it's so barebones; it's a streamlined remake of the NES/FC original, that's all that's promised and about all you get. Unlike Awakening, there was no hype to be had or lost personally.

Had the game had supports and didn't force you to kill units to receive the exclusive new ones it could have overtaken the GBA games in a lot of fans hearts IMO. Granted it did introduce online matches, re-classing, and mid-battle save points. The Masamune Shirow art is also top notch.

Swamp... I just watched, and I'm not used to this level of positivity related to the Switch.
They talk about my successes and scream my failures I guess.

There's positivity there.

Just need to know where to go.

So, about Injustice 2, I'm not too surprised that we've got a handful of Batman characters confirmed for it. Ivy should be the most interesting out of the bunch, given her powers. Green Lantern and Flash(who was only shown off in the reveal trailer)get confirmed and have new costumes based on John and Zoom. I really want to see if they brought any cool new stuff for Flash in this game. He and Blue Beetle are the ones I'm most looking forward to use.

Braniac is a good choice for final villain, better than another Evil Superman.

Sucks about Darksied being a pre-order.

Trust me. When you keep doing something slow, but steadily and slowly increase every while(around 2-3 weeks is good if you are doing an exercise at least 3-4 times a week), you will notice the changes. And it becomes very noticeable and going back down feels too easy.

Does anyone know the machine where you have a weight-like thing under your knees and you do pull-ups with the weight helping you pull yourself up and the less weight you have on, the harder it is to pull yourself up? When I first did that machine, I started at 165 weight. Now I can do that machine with only 80-90 weight helping me and moving the weight back up makes pulling-up feel like child's play. It's a great feeling.

I hope we can still get Power Girl, Static and Lobo back too

Errrrm, not going to post it here, but I think some people love the switch a bit TOO much. I've found waifu porn of it.

Hey @Cyndane ! Sorry to ask you another request but, do you think you could trade me a normal Buzzwole? (With good stat and all that complicate Pokemon stuff? Also, could you name it O'Chunks? *3*)
Thanks for any futur answer. ;)

I'm actually very relieved that the touch screen is back. Games such as Professor Layton and Art Academy heavily rely on the touch screen and if the 3DS really won't be getting any sort of successor of its own, then I'd rather not see Nintendo alienating those kind of games in any way.
