My TV habits fell off pretty sharply with a (voluntary) lack of access to cable and a Faraday cage house.

But far as I know we're kind of in a lull of weird game shows like that right now. Just a bunch of trivia-style shows - sometimes competitive, sometimes not - and the usual social dynamics reality fare.

Won't lie, if y'all got more interesting stuff I'm a little jealous.
Britain used to do gameshows like Family Feud (Family Fortunes over here), Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right, Hollywood Squares (Celebrity Squares over here) and Blankety Blank; but all they all went away in the mid 90s. They occasionally come back in the form of Celebrity Specials.

We now mostly have panel shows rather than game shows (and Quiz Shows are still pretty common). There are weird ones like Celebrity Juice and smart ones like QI.

QI is a show where a panel of Celebrities are asked "Common Knowledge" questions, knowing they are more than likely going to get the question wrong. The host (formerly Stephen Fry and now Sandi Totsvig) then explain what the actual answer is. I strongly recommend QI to people who have access to it, it's both informative and hilarious.

Celebrity Juice... defies description.

I could go on a long description about British game shows, but it's better if I just link the Wikipedia list. :laugh:

Glad you didn't have to deal with him anymore.

Nintendo characters are appearing on a DashBoard.
There was a problem fetching the tweet
Before you all deny me, a lot of people are supporting this claim.
I’m telling you, i’m not lying. I was suspicious of it, so considering I have all three consoles I figured I would check.

Here it is:
View attachment 195654

It’s a page for Women’s History Month, so there’s no need to use Pokémon unless they used Leaf. These are more obviously female (not up to discretion or debate) characters, so it totally makes sense.

We’ll have to keep an eye out on the future to see if bigger characters show up.

*Ridley takes up an entire page of the dashboard.

Are they putting Nintendo characters in the dashboard to celebrate the Switch's 2nd birthday?

Yup, I can confirm this too.

The context is to celebrate Women's History Month.

What would be the point of them celebrating the success of a rival company with anything that affects their own products? Makes no sense, imo. Especially when they could just tweet it.

It’s for Women’s History Month.

Do I even want to know why it's a bad omen, big deal, etc?
I'm just joking around about the fact that most people believe Scorbunny will be furbait by it's final stage.

So it being the first starter to get a sexualized cosplay is just adding fuel to the fire.

Making a Pokémon Sword & Shield BINGO card is harder than I thought. Have 18 squares now and 6 more to do.

Hopefully I can finish before the first major news.

Well, I can't say I don't want it to be if it's masculine-looking and decently thin.......although that's more of me being spiteful towards those artworks of Diggersby. :glare:

The idea of PS4 users portbegging for games like Pokemon and Octopath Traveller is very hilarious in hindsight when you remember how much Nintendo players have been portbegging. :laugh:

Also, new interview with Sakurai:
https://nintendoeverything.com/saku...sing-bosses-and-spirits-new-stages-much-more/

So basically, we need to start getting IS to make more areas with elevation in their Fire Emblem games. And the fact that Marx was apparently going to be scarier...:skull:

Also, we know have Sakurai's train of thought regarding the Kirby enemies in World of Light:
Sakurai: Right. Speaking of “World of Light,” from the get-go Kirby wouldn’t appear as an enemy – he hadn’t been captured!

That’s right… (laughs)

Sakurai: That being said, he appears more in the latter half. My line of thinking was that Kirby was unknowingly being analyzed the whole time;
So in other words, that would come across as Galeem being able to analyse characters and eventually being able to make a "pseudo-copy" of said character, without a need to have them captured first.

What was the avatar?
All it is is a cropped version of this Jenny Wakeman/MLAATR fanart:


Specifically a crop so that the focus is on her head. It's entirely SFW and I don't find that cropping to leave just her head visible can give any real indication that it wouldn't be.

I can only assume the guy really disliked this show and/or immediately jumped to (incorrect) conclusions when he saw the pic, and wanted me gone because of that. Oh, yeah, during his kick attempt, he also took a moment to call this avatar of mine "gay". Such a pleasant person, he was. :rolleyes:

February was an awful month for my family and I.
Hopefully, this one may go better with enough luck...

A new scooby doo movie is coming to theaters next year and it’s literally an animated infinity war.

The plot has scooby doo and the gang team up with a bunch of other Hanna barabara characters to save the world and stop **** dastardly

Nintendo characters are appearing on a DashBoard.

And if there was any doubt of the Xbox rumorsbon switch and that there won’t be a smash character, this is all you need as proof.

Get hyped boys, banjo or master chief are coming

Honestly, I still have doubts.
How do? It’s not like Xbox is showing us Sony l exclusive characters for national women’s month. So it being Nintendo is a big deal on top of their other rumors and their strong cross play connection with Nintendo right now

These are super tough to do. I like Cyndaquil and Totodile almost equally. But I use Cyndaquil more. Gen 3 starters I like almost equally. And gen 4 I like piplup just a little more

Or Steve.

Or it's not relevant to Smash to begin with. :p
I was leaning towards Steve but with how wrong insiders have been it feels like he’s probably not the one happen if Microsoft is getting a character.

Although it’s probably more likely that’s its banjo first then Steve and then chief

My hopes on DLC characters in general are very low to begin with.

And as Opo said, it could not be relevant to Smash at all.

Whether insiders are saying he's in or not has no real bearing on whether or not he's in though. Plus we don't know if they're wrong yet.

Hell, no noteworthy insiders have even said Steve is in yet.
