Henry does have morals actually.

They're just twisted.

He doesn't hurt people for fun like Perri does. He just has fun killing people.

Henry knows he's weird and stops when asked.

Perri whines when she doesn't get her way.

I mean, I haven't played the game, but they both sound like assholes.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I mean, I haven't played the game, but they both sound like ********.

It also helps that Henry is genuinely hillarious and self capable.

Perri is just whine central nixed with murderous tendencies.

 

[Chrono.]

I think Henry balances out the questionable morality with charm/general hilarity. Peri is mostly yandere-waifu bait.

Well guys... I have an update on you about the CPSIA listing's of amiibo that are connected to Smash;

4 specific listings (AACK, AACL, AACM, and AACN) have very recently reappeared; each were certified on March 6th, which was 2 days ago. As we all know, the amiibo of Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta are still hiding and have yet to be revealed. In addition, I'm sure many of you know about AACN... a very mysterious amiibo listing that is brand new and may actually end up being a new or returning character. Based off speculation, many have theorized that AACK is Cloud, AACL is Corrin, and AACM is Bayonetta, which makes sense when you think about it as they do go in alphabetical order. I have to say; when AACN appeared back then, it certainly made things very interesting with how it came out of nowhere. With these new reissues of the certificates, its obvious something is being planned.

Regardless, I get the feeling we may finally see confirmation of the three missing amiibo and whatever that last amiibo may be relatively soon or within the next few months leading up to E3. I have a guess that AACN could be Ice Climbers, but that's just me.

I dunno, but BotW's datamining says there are 3 other Zelda amiibo, so unless those listings are exclusively used for Smash I doubt it

Could it be three Zelda newcomers for Smash? Naaaaahh, I doubt it.

On the whole Henry vs. Peri thing, I think it comes down to how the story makes them enjoyable on top of how believable they come across.

With Henry, the thing is in his own twisted way, he does understand there are lines he shouldn't cross. He enjoys blood, but he's not going to go out and kill people for fun, he'll do it within the bounds of society and obey the rules people set for him. The character also benefitted from having good writing around him as the characters react justifiably to his actions, his supports are pretty good, and the character as mentioned before has a charm to his craziness, so it's much easier to tolerate him as he's an amoral character that doesn't stretch your suspension of disbelief too much due to having limits to his behavior and is genuinely enjoyable.

With Peri, the character isn't integrated into the cast and story well at all. As mentioned before, unlike Henry, she murders indiscriminately, will attack even allies (poor Felicia), and has no moral regard to others around her, yet we're supposed to believe she is hanging around characters that would otherwise shun those like her. She acts childishly and whines, which while it does fit into her backstory also makes her less enjoyable since bratty behavior is something that is not nearly as tolerated as Henry's oddities. Finally, she also has a nasty habit of making some characters bend over backwards to accommodate her behavior as you have things like Corrin saying "don't worry, I'll get you some sturdy guys to beat up when you get crazy" in their S support, Leo pretty much conceding to her after failing to explain why pointless murder is different from war when he's otherwise well spoken enough to explain things like that (which is strange as Laslow does it fine, but beside the point), and makes Xander look even more hypocritical then he already is in the story by employing a murderous womanchild despite also denouncing Hans for similar behavior. She does have a backstory, but off the top of the my head it only pops up once and it's not utilized enough to completely justify her behavior, so it ends up being an underdeveloped trait that doesn't fully salvage the character's worst behavior in her other supports. So that makes her hard to buy even when we understand how she grew up that way since they don't do enough with the backstory to make her more understandable nor make the other characters better understand her and try to help her, which makes her unlikeable on top of being unbelieveable.

In short, Henry worked because the character was written in a way that allowed him to be within enough moral bounds to work with the rest of the cast and had traits that made him likeable. Peri isn't done all that well in that regard as the cast doesn't react in a way that's believeable, doesn't work well with the story, and her childish behavior makes her even less likable. If they delved into the deep roots of her behavior more and wrote her supports with other characters more carefully, I think she would've been received at least a bit better, but her current state makes her hard to swallow and it's not hard to see why she's such a contested character among Serenes Forest and other FE fansites.

The first batch of Iron Fist reviews are in. Warning, spoilers in the link
https://www.comicbookmovie.com/tv/m...ly-iron-fist-reviews-indicate-a-rough-a149477
They are NOT positive

Iron Fist isn't a terrible show by any means; if it aired on the CW, it might have even felt like a revelation. But Netflix has earned high expectations for its superhero shows, ones that have been able to effectively tackle heavy topics like sexual assault. When it comes to The Defenders, Iron Fist just doesn't pack enough of a punch.

That's just one, other reviews have said stuff like how it's really hard to watch more than 2 episodes. Marvel seems to have their first outright bad product. Shame, because I was actually looking forward to Iron Fist

 

[Tikivoy]

Quick question, does anybody have advice for making a Smashboards group or general guidelines to go off of?

Specifically, stuff like making rules (some groups don't have any?), who else can mod it, etc.

Asking since i'm preparing to make one soon

I've been looking into this, and man is it disheartening.

Granted, reviewers are only given the first six of the thirteen episodes to review. That being said, most Netflix Marvel shows end up dragging more in the latter half, as people often mention with Luke Cage and even more so with the second season of Daredevil...so I don't have high hopes of Iron Fist being a reverse of that.

And I'm only now finding out that the show runner also did the last three seasons of Dexter which, from what I've heard, are universally despised by the show's fan base...and it's the same guy doing the Inhumans series, which doesn't inspire confidence.

Apparently the show didn't embrace the mysticism enough for most people, which is an absolute shame. I get that Netflix Marvel has a more gritty and realistic aura to it (things like Kilgrave's powers or all the Hand stuff aside), and that works really well for Daredevil, and Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, and the Punisher...but it doesn't work well for Iron Fist. Iron Fist is a property that should be FULLY embracing mysticism, and after the MCU released Doctor Strange, there's no excuse for Iron Fist to be this...bland.


All in all, disappointing reviews. I just hope this doesn't affect the Inhumans, and hey, Punisher and The Defenders seem to be coming along nicely. Pretty sad that this is virtually the first guaranteed MCU property to get a Rotten score on RT. Even Thor: The Dark World, the lowest rated MCU film, was given a Fresh Rating. Most people are just calling Iron Fist "Daredevil but objectively worse."

Lab Zero is gauging interest in a Switch port of Indivisible.

I would be thrilled if they port Skullgirls to Switch as well.

This kills the Nintendo Switch:

5 million views son, and rising quickly.

So PS4 and Xbox One never have similar kind of issues at launch huh? Just asking really.
Blue screen of death... is really a rare problem and it considers as a defect.
I do agree the Joy Con strap kinds sucks, they better have a refine design soon, but with that I don't see myself use those Joy Con strap anyway.
And the screen is indeed made out of plastic, which can be easily scratch according to Jerryrig's Switch test video, I highly recommend you to check it out. This is why Switch is easily scratched, however, this also means that the screen won't shatter so easily. Yes, even Gorilla 4 glass will crack if you drop it sometimes.
He advise is: just put on screen protector, and also dock your Switch carefully.

And seems that the video didn't include Max's video, oh... I really hope his issue isn't common as well. A Switch that has problems of reading cartridge is really a pain.

Now this news here my friend could be the Switch killer if this kind of scenario persists. Rime being delayed and charge more than Xbox One and PS4 version could drive the third party companies away...

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Why is Rime more expensive?

What possible reason is there?

Not sure why, I hope either the developer or Nintendo can respond it soon. I really hope it is just a special case.

BTW, I am really curious what will @Zebei 's alert box look like, I'm sure it will be flood with "Tag you in a post"...

New magazine scan about Dragon Ball Super.

Spoiler

Here we can see some GoD + some relevant fighters.
It seems FemBroly will have a more standard Super Saiyan form too, she still gains some muscle tho.
The Fat Buu look-alike fighter and the Ayy Lmao alien from the opening also appear; I see the latter eliminating Goku from the Royal Rumble with Gohan being the hero.

Apparently the next 3-4 episodes will be somewhat of a filler, with Goku assembling the team in 40 hours, convincing Krillin and 18 to join, finding 17, Vegeta becoming a family man (Guile_Theme.mp3), etc. So, no tournament until mid-April at least.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

I'm hoping that the last 7(?) Episodes of the show will turn it's critics around. However, like Opossum pointed out, Netflix Marvel shows are usually the opposite.

It's gonna be sad if this really is Marvel's first bad product considering how beloved Iron Fist is. Although, I feel like these reviews are giving it more of a 'mediocre' scoring which usual falls into the 55-65% rankings on Rotten Tomatoes. But if it took nearly an entire decade for Marvel to finally have a hiccup that's still damn impressive. Especially since Fox and WB are cranking out mediocre to awful superhero movies on a near yearly basis.

Specifically, stuff like making rules (some groups don't have any?), who else can mod it, etc.

Asking since i'm preparing to make one soon

It's fairly self explanatory once a group is created. There is a "Social Forum Tool" icon near the top of the page for every group where you can edit the name, description, permissions (who can post/view), avatar, etc.

If you click on "Social Forum Members" a list of members and invitees will be displayed. There you edit member status, mod status, or creator status. There's also an invite member search bar, just type the user's name in and they'll be sent an invite.

Rules are a tad lax compared to the rest of SWF, as it's assumed some self policing is being done by each group owner. You can only create up to three groups at any given time. If you need further help feel free to tag, PM, or invite me or an admin into the group.

Don't you just hate it when people try to make a goofy and light hearted character into a purely tragic one?

Like, not give them more depth, but make them purely tragic.

I undusted my old backup laptop for some experimenting, then I realized that the last update was in Nov. 2015.

I put Windows Update to work, the program attempted to download all the **** at the same time, resulting in a clogged toilet situation with the updates stuck at 0% indefinitely.

I ran services.msc to restart Windows Update, but now the program got stuck by attempting to unstuck WU.

You can't really stay jolly and friendly when someone murders all your friends and family.

Besides, Papyrus shows signs he can be more serious. He has a text dialogue if you end a genocide run on him that implies he has access to gaster blasters and he would have had to use them on you

Hm... even though Dbrand said that putting their custom skin on Nintendo Switch will damage the console if you try to remove it.
That doesn't stop other companies like Skinfactstore though, a Japan based company that sells custom Nintendo Switch skins. Not sure if they aware that taking it off will hurt the console or not.
http://skinfactstore.com/items/58b90f51d3b2a0f758001a9f

Wait, does it said that it won't leave glue residue? So did Skinfact solve the problem that Dbrand couldn't solve?

What the hell kind of weak ass console is harmed by removing a skin off it?

 

[mario123007]

What the hell kind of weak *** console is harmed by removing a skin off it?

The plastic they use is weak, especially for the Joy Cons, but hey they are replaceable, so I don't see a reason why to remove those skins off from Joy Con if I don't like it. I can just switch it to another Joy Con.
At least for Dbrand's skin, not sure if this Skinfact's will hurt the console.

Downside for Skinfact's Switch custom skins is that the choice is very limited, they only have wooden texture so far. They also don't have skins for the dock, but they do have one for Jor Con grip though.

I just bought Space Jam on Blu-Ray.


$10 well spent!

I bought Space Jam a long time ago, but I still haven't watched it (I've seen the movie, just not the DVD).

Holy **** Gumball has had another week of new episodes and they've been fantastic minus one of them. This song might be one of the best parts of the show imo:

The episode this is from is also about Gumball trying to meet Mario and yes they use his name.

And then they had one joke that had me laughing so hard in another episode:

Gumball sees hector's mom make him disappear as he is trying to think of his special skill (gumball) and he says thats it!

Darwin's response is "I don't think making school kids disappear is a skill you want to have it." I ******* lost it at lol.

Now for a bonus scene thats also hilarious:

Spoiler

Seriously if you haven't watched this show yet, you really should, its always amazing.

To be honest, I don't find most of the jokes in Gumball funny.

Iron Fist is getting bad reviews? Ouch.

Speaking of Marvel, I honestly would have preferred a Marvel-only fighting game in the gameplay style of MvC at this point instead of another Marvel vs Capcom crossover game. But hey, I can't be mad.

That said, the existence of another MvC game pretty much came in a very good time given just how currently hot the MCU is at the moment.
