I should be writing an essay I have for next week but instead I'm here looking at memes aka a student's greatest weakness
View attachment 127238

Really though, they probably had something in the contract like "no ****ing up our image"(paraphrased) because stuff like this could actually hurt the game
It's like with celebrity scandals, companies aren't going to associate with people who will bring their name down
I'd watch Yaoi on Fire.

The live action version from the nineties.
I'm definitely in the camp that says the orginal animated version was better. It was one of my favorite movies growing up.

That being said I do love the 2016 live action version as well. It was a great take on the original that blended in some aspects of the book, as well as fixing some things from the original (like changing King Louie from an orangutan to a gigantopithecus, which is more geographically accurate).

There is one thing I wasn't too keen on with the new one though, and it involves the ending.
I wish Mowgli wouldn't have stayed in the jungle, because letting him go was an incredibly important part of Baloo's character development in the original.

Tl;dr: I really enjoyed both, but nothing tops the original for me.

As a memer, I naturally procrastinate by searching memes as well.

For the Breath of the Wild, I've been enjoying it. I find the gathering and the exploring appealing.

As for news about JonTron being fired from Yooka-Laylie, I feel like I should care more considering he's my favorite YouTuber but I don't care about the game or any drama.

Why am I browsing TV Tropes now? And why does almost every "random trope" gives me an idea for a story I'll never be able to actually write down?
Like, I just had an idea for a retelling of King Arthur where the weapons are Living Weapons that have a human form in which Caliburn is the Sword in the Stone and gay af for Arthur and Excalibur is a prick who dislikes being forced to work with him. And that was only because I stumbled upon Empathic Weaoon and one thing led to another.
Now I'm trying to think of a Functional Magic system and build a story around it but the point is that I have an essay for next week and I am not doing it.

Should I fight Rudania or Naboris next?
I would do Rudania next because Daruk's Protection is a really useful shielding skill and one of the most clutch skills to have IMO.

Just remember to buy the fireproof elixirs at the Foothill Stable before heading for Death Mountain so that the volcanic heat doesn't kill you on the way to Goron City.

I can't tell if you guys just relate to my procrastination or you just really like my King Arthur fanfic
I'd totally include other legendary weapons like Durandal and Alondite or whatever other is on public domain rn
I should probably actually read one of the countless versions of King Arthur one day, mostly because I don't know much about it other than "sword in the stone, chosen one, lancelot ****ed his wife, crazy lady from the lake gives him new sword and his son turns out to be a ****"

Caliburn and Excalibur are the same sword.

If you're going to do that, include the Disney Animated movie, "The Sword in the Stone" if you haven't watched that yet.

Not fully. Only in some tales is Excalibur the Sword in the Stone. Otherwise, The Sword in the Stone, Caliburn, was a completely separate sword from Excalibur.

And so are Excalibur and The Sword In The Stone... except when they're not
Yeah, Caliburn is a misread of Excalibur but it has been used to differentiate the two in some works(when Excalibur is NOT the SitS).

Actually they were.

http://mythology.stackexchange.com/questions/20/are-excalibur-and-caliburn-different-swords

The reason they got different names was due to evolutions in language and differences in story telling.

Kind of like how Heracles and Hercules are the same person even though they occasionally have differences in story telling.

"Other versions say that the sword from the stone was not Excalibur, but a different sword, and Arthur instead was given Excalibur by the Lady of the Lake.

Modern authors have to usually pick one of these old versions and stick with it. Sometimes modern authors try to distinguish the swords by giving each one a different version of the name "Excalibur", like calling one of them "Caliburn" instead.

Well those modern authors are wrong.

Cause I said so.

So there.

TV Tropes taught me that a truly original work is impossible. It's not really entertaining to me anymore though

Nintendo Treehouse now have their own official tumblr blog.

https://nintendotreehouse.tumblr.com/

Also it's a shame about JonTron being taken off Yooka-Laylee. I know he's controversial right now, but I personally don't care for that, and was looking forward to hearing him in the game. There's also his unlisted video that I feel cleared up his stance on some things, and that one debate with Destiny he had was kinda one-sided, as Destiny is known for being very manipulative in his debates with people.

Overall, it was a silly idea to take him off, because Jon could sue, and backers of Yooka-Laylee may feel a bit robbed now, as JonTron has plenty of fans who would have backed just for that.

If Jon is facing negative consequences for his views, then Playtonic should face negative consequences for removing him.

I thought that was due to, you know, Greek and Roman differences, like Zeus and Jupiter, Artemis and Diana, etc.

You only need 1 and 10 fire proof lizards.

Jontron's outburst isn't "alternate views that should be respected", it's a racist screed that deserves no pretense of equal value. Even if that wasn't true, Playtonic would still have every right to remove his voice clips from the game.

What exactly did Jontron say that was "racist"?
