I have not much of an interest in OCs.


Only people with inferior tastes wouldn't like Code Geass.

It reflects a lot on human nature. That's why I liked it. Same with other series like Death Note or Parasyte.

Lelouch is one of the best anime protagonists of all time.
OK. I don't force you nothing. Also yeah, All hail Lelouch.

Today, I realized that I won't be purchasing any Amiibos.

I do not believe a byte of content that activates (In Smash's case) a cpu adjusted with what is equivalent to simply increasing the stats on mobs in other games and a poorly-made figurine to be worth of my money.

Such is the law of subjective valuation. *Shrug*
I don't even have a wii u, but if they actually appeared in mexico i'd like to buy some for aesthetic value

I also think amiibo figures are a waste, but eh. It's making money for them so it's not going anywhere.
Let's not continue....

I don't use amiibos (well, besides Luigi, because it obliterates my friend's Fox for some reason). Other than that, the amiibos I have left are unopened as a source of emergency money (Mac and Villager) or because I got it as a gift (Zelda)

I admire this strategy, sir. Hopefully, you have a positive return on investment if it ever comes to you needing to sell these things. Lord knows they're more sound than most of the fiat money of the world rightnowifyouknowhatimean.

While the quality of the figurine is poor, I doubt you'd be able to find a decent quality one at a reasonable price anyways. Such is the benefit of bundling features together, I suppose!

Hahaha.
A collector, mostly. Chances are I'll only sell them if I'm completely broke and need money for a medical copay or something.
Which means probably never.

Helloo! I just got back from playing for glory 2v2's with my sister. I really wish they would implement stocks and team attack. I faced a bunch of pk fire spammers and it gets annoying to constantly hear him yell pk fire :glare:.

I'm not very into original characters. Yes, I've done two and phased out one of those, but that means nothing. It's just the need for having something to identify with.

I think it'd be fun if I made one, but I'd probably only make one and then forget about it.

Perhaps a soda mascot to combat Pepsiman :glare:

I wanted to buy 2 falcon amiibos, one for gameplay and one for my dad. My dad loves captain falcon and would have loved to keep it as a collectible. Unfortunatley, i cant get my hands on some. :L

You'd only make a Dr Pepper OC and call it original, yet it would look like Pepsi Man. Thus, resulting in a boring fight.

I'd buy a Pikachu amiibo, but I don't want everything to be Pikachu, Pikachu and Pikachu.

They make neat little ornaments in your room and on your desk. That's what I do with my amiibo. Any hidden game content is just more icing on the cake.

Also, 'sup people.

I barely ever use my amiibos, but I'm obsessed with them and don't even keep them in the box.

Amiibos are like drugs. You know they're no good for you, and when you haven't bought one, they seem stupid and obviously something to avoid. However, once you get started, you're addicted.

Nobody really like PK fire spammer anyway. Like every spammer character in the game.

OC are very difficult to make if you want to be good. There is alot of thing that you have to think when you making one. It's not easy as "I just recolor a image and i change the name and it's a OC lol". No. the really good OC are really difficult to make. I can assure you. Both design and personality.

I see. I've only done two.

- The Flight character was made in mid-2010 (I later scrapped him in 2012)

- Aspyr

Still better than Josh the Ogrehog. :troll:

Anyway, I don't see scalpers in a very good light. Especially that obnoxious fellow that goes by the name Mariotehplumber...
Aww, don't let one idiot who's obsessed with Rosalina spoil the whole thing.
Edit: Wait, how can he even be considered a scalper?

Anyways, scalping is an honorable profession, and I mean that seriously.
Here's ESPN writer Jim Caple on them:

"Scalpers generally are portrayed as a seedy bunch of grifters only a few steps up the food chain from child pornographers, fantasy football participants and Pete Rose's circle of friends. I don't see it that way, though. Rather than a bigger blight on society than the Backstreet Boys, the scalper is a humble businessperson and a fan's best friend, next to $1 Heineken Night.

Is there a more victimless crime than scalping? Of course not. It is capitalism at its purest level. An event is sold out, you need a ticket and the scalper provides you one at a mutually agreed upon price. You don't need to be Louis Rukeyser to understand the remarkable efficiency of this market."

Ah, capitalism... I don't see that ideology in a good light either.

Actually, scratch that. Overall, I don't see humanity in a good light.

Moving villagers in Minecraft is such udder nonsense! I make them better houses that aren't flooded out or ten blocks off the ground, and for what? To corral them like sheep by blocking them from their old homes, making a tunnel to the new houses, and just push and fill the tunnel.

I just got done. Took me five hours to accomplish so I'm taking a break for now. It'll be worth it though.

It make me really sad that OC this day are now considered bad draw by kid who have cleary no imagination at all without even knowning how to draw. With some person still this day do really good looking OC like Flight (Aspyr) for exemple. ( I don't use me and my character because it would be auto-favouritism in my opinon.)

I may not have much interest in OCs, but I can appreciate OCs when well-made and imaginative.

I think OC's are pretty cool when done right. Otherwise they're (quite literally) copy and paste and recolors, and THOSE are the bad ones everyone refers to.

I very much like everyone's (actually original) OC's.

Maybe, but I think we'd all agree that victimless crimes are utterly harmless and not punishable.

I think OCs are cool when their backstory is:
"I am a guy before taking everything to heart and a winner."
