Something sad? Look at the news. There you'll lose faith in humanity.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Sad yet?

Nope because I read that part of the Odyssey

 

[chuckthesmashlover]

In Homer's Odyssey, the hero, Odysseus, has a dog named Argos. We are told by Homer that Argos would frequently accompany his master on hunting trips and guard the palace of Ithaca when Odysseus was away. Argos was an intensely loyal companion, and it is noted that Odysseus was exceptionally fond of the dog, whom he regarded as a confidant and friend.

When Odysseus departed his home to fight in the Trojan War, Argos remained at the palace. Odysseus bid farewell to his family, and then departed for what would become the longest and most savage war in his culture's history.

After the war ended, Odysseus found himself at the mercy of Poseidon, wrathful god of the ocean, and cast far from his home and family. Odysseus found himself shipwrecked and stranded far from Ithaca. He had spend ten years at war, and the next ten years on an epic journey to return home.

Upon his return, Odysseus was disguised as a beggar by the goddess Athena, in order to not arouse the suspicions of his wife's suitors, whom had taken up residence in his palace and plotted to murder him upon his return. When Odysseus made it to the palace, dressed in peasant's rags, he beheld a most unusual sight: an aged and ragged hound, sat atop a pile of its own filth, more dead than alive and with barely the strength to even breathe. Odysseus realised that this was his faithful dog, Argos, and was moved to tears by the sight.

We are told by Homer that Argos, with a dog's keen nose, saw through Odysseus's disguise and recognised the scent of his beloved master. Argos, for the first time in twenty years, held his ears aloft and wagged his tail.

He then drew his last breath and died.

Sad yet?

Why are you trying to make me cry?

 

[Wintropy]

Nope because I read that part of the Odyssey

Then you should be especially sad. That scene ****ing wrecked my puny kitten body.

Something about strong warrior types displaying sincere emotion always gets to me.

I bawl like a ***** every time I think of Fist of the North Star.

"I refuse to build my future upon the tears of another!"

Yabuki talks Mario Kart, he talks about the DLC that was released, how successful it was and his excitement. He "hints" at more DLC.
I would love more Mario Kart DLC. The first two are Great

Sakurai reveals 3 more newcomers, 2 are returning one is 3rd party. August 23rd if you wanted to know the date.
See this I question. Is the 3rd party in the returning section?
Because I immediately go to
If not I am really bamboozled. 3 seems like a lot but who knows really.

And an Iwata Tribute would be really nice.
In fact tomorrow I am going to go watch the very first Nintendo Direct.

I'm actually going to be very honest, I have never cried really to any sad thing. The reason is mainly due to when I was very little, I would always cry a lot. Well, I never really found my way. So I really express sadness in a more calm and silent manor. When Iwata died I never cried at all/really felt emotions like a lot of other people did, but I did feel a sense of something missing and a little sorrow. If I do usually get really sad, it won't hit me until much later.

[Wintropy]

I didn't cry when Iwata died.

Until my brother - perforce the strongest and most stoic man I have ever met - admitted he himself had cried when I told him the news.

When he started to cry in front of me - something that has happened maybe twice in our entire adult lives - and told me that he regarded Iwata as a personal hero, then I knew it was time to share the love.

Incidentally, if you think the purpose of my tale was to make you cry, then you misinterpret the nature of my intention.

For some people, myself included, when someone passes they have a natural tolerance to the mounting of their loss. But then once everything settles and everyone returns to their normal life, when you start to realize what's missing from that normal life, that is when the pain sets in.

 

[AreJay25]

Have to type this in a hurry.

It appears that my laptop is having an issue that needs to be addressed. Going to try to get it repaired as soon as I can. So I'll be using... other resources to get on the web until then. I won't be able to post much as a result.

So, I guess I'll see you all later, at some point.

Probably like tomorrow but whatever.

 

[Solfiner]

I almost cried when Iwata died. I used to have a very easy time crying, which was nice since it's a perfect way to went when everyone feels terrible. Nowadays it's much harder for me.

 

[Kenith]

On a related note, I didn't cry Iwata died, but I feel like when I see the first Nintendo Direct where he's gone, it will be really painful.

Iwata is a very well-respected and loved individual. He is in the hearts of most people. I kind of almost feel bad, because I didn't really convey a lot of emotion when he passed. I guess it's because I didn't really know the people who made those games until recently and mostly being a sheltered gamer until recently. We just got our internet 3 years ago and I only had about 2 years to get to know Iwata. That's not really enough time to really have a really good emotional attachment to someone. Another thing is, I never really grew up with Nintendo/ retro gaming. I mainly played Wrestling games and a little bit of Spyro. So I guess I didn't have an emotional connection as much as you guys have had with him, but it still hurt that something was missing when he passed . He was important overall, and I know he has produced a legacy no gamer, game developer or president has ever had.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Uh...we have a problem, gang.

I threw my 3DS at the ground after losing to my friend...the L button jammed. I can flick it up and down but barely. I kissed the 3DS 6 times, so I'm not worried about if I upsetted it-it's okay now-I'm worried about the L button.

How am I to unjam it?

Gotta take care of your stuff man.

 

[A Distant Demon]

There is absolutely no reason to feel bad for your emotions. You never knew Iwata personally so it's ok to not feel any strong emotions.

personally I never cried or felt any strong emotion. I grew up with Sony and even then I never knew Iwata anyway and never would have.

 

[IsmaR]

I played Splatoon with ArtsyOmni, apparently. Not on my friend's list, just ran into him on Ranked (which doesn't let you join friends anyway)

Never mind.

You know, if there is a Fic doesnt there have to be someone else with omni?
who is the OTP? Omni's true pairing?

This could backfire very quickly

Damn this one doesn't have to many holes in it Seems the leaker may have thought this one through. Only really big hole is that they said the direct would b August 1st, and we haven't heard anything about one coming up yet, and that one seems to be comig to soon.

Also is anyone else dreading the next Direct, and looking forward to it? I mean I want to see hat they do ithot Iwata, but it still don't feel right without Iwata hosting the main direct.

Also if you want to feel sad watch all of Madoka Magica, and i your One Piece fan:

Spoiler

Remember Goingg Merry's funeral?

 

[Wintropy]

Wait, you think I'm writing it about Omni?

Nah man, he's just the referee of the big sports game that concludes the epic finale.

It's really about the relationship between my kettle and toaster.

It's called Tangled Wires: The Story of USB.

 

[Kenith]

Who do you think would host the next Direct?
Probably not Reggie.

1. Spoiler is wrong

Well, looks like a prototype of Project Dream has just been uncovered.

Well, if you do feature Omni in a fanfiction, I suggest his OTP be Rayman.

Friend of mine, a while ago, came over and hugged me for a job well done.

I leaned over and whispered in his ear, "You smell good," then dropped my voice an octave and breathed to him in a hushed tone, "Like my daddy."

That Weavile Gif gets me every time =3

Not going to lie. I cried when Iwata passed. All the times I heard Smiles and Tears didn't help.
He was a big part of my childhood and it just got to me I guess.
Strangely enough right as we talk of this. I am in a game with a guy called Faith. His Tag is For Iwata.
It's a conspiracy I tell ya.

Who do you think would host the next Direct?
Probably not Reggie.

This is a possibility:

Fixed the spoiler, no else saw that right? I really hope you didn't. Cause I just showed you something yo shouldn't know about if you aren't passed that point.

Bill Trentin (sp?) would likely direct the NA Directs

Seriously @PushDustIn your twitter is so weird. Like there are some great informative tweets and then they are juxtaposed with this

All I know is, I pulled back and apologised for even creeping myself out.

My trademark dance move, incidentally, is called "Niko You're Making A Scene". It consists of lying on your side on the floor, then spinning around in a circle while kicking your legs so it looks like you're running on the floor. Whooping is optional.

Another time I ran in with two popsicles over my eyes and screamed, "Everything is irrational!" Then I gave a popsicle to a friend since I bought it for her.

Then I got my friends hooked for an entire week on a card game about tentacled aliens abducting anime schoolgirls to win points.
