Some tropical storm this was.
The only rain I had around here (south-east VA) was around the PotD reveal and the hours preceding it. As of right now, it's completely dry and sunny.

That was boring.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Look what I found...

I see Tesla, Einstein, Darwin, Steven Hawking, Newtwon (But I had to google if it WAS him)

But I'm lost on the rest

 

[Deleted member]

Look what I found...

I know half of the people on the left, but have no idea who the girl on the right is. Do I win?
I got Newton, Darwin, Hawking, and Einstein.

 

[MSmariosonic]

I actually could name most of the people on the left (Tesla is such an awesome person by the way), but I just couldn't put my finger on those boobs - uh, on who those boobs are. I mean, who those boobs belong to. Yeah...

Tesla is one of the few Serbs i'm proud of. (coming from a Serbian's mouth)
The other one is Novak Djokovic and maybe Marija Serifovic.
I really dislike Nick vujicic.

 

[Pyra]

Look what I found...

I recognize Hawking, Einstein, Tyson, and Tesla.

I believe the girl on the right is a Kardashian.
Star of a famous sex tape.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Is that Marie Curie? That's a bad picture

 

[Pyra]

Tesla's also the only one of the last names I can pronounce in that list of names.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Tesla's also the only one of the last names I can pronounce in that list of names.

Because he's one of the few with an original last name.

New avatar coming through... *beep beep

 

[Fatmanonice]

Look what I found...

Hawking, Curie, Tesla, Einstein, Freud, degrasse Tyson, Galileo, Newton, Sagan, Darwin... what do I win?

 

[MSmariosonic]

Hawking, Curie, Tesla, Einstein, Freud, degrasse Tyson, Galileo, Newton, Sagan, Darwin... what do I win?

You win the internet.
I knew you would be able to name 'em all.
Your knowledge surpasses us all, sensei.

 

[Pyra]

Hawking, Curie, Tesla, Einstein, Freud, degrasse Tyson, Galileo, Newton, Sagan, Darwin... what do I win?

We are not worthy.

 

[ndayday]

Look what I found...

I find this to be kind of pretentious.
I mean like many people can say they help the world or live an otherwise fulfilling life :x
and how much of that depends on how many famous and revolutionary figures you know.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Hawking, Curie, Tesla, Einstein, Freud, degrasse Tyson, Galileo, Newton, Sagan, Darwin... what do I win?

I knew I recognized Freud and Galileo

But I still have no idea who Sagan or degrasse Tyson is

Edit: OH, Carl Sagan. I had NO idea what he looked like

Looks like this question applies more to atheists/agnostics.

He's a pretty cool dude responsible for quotes like "If you removed all the arteries, veins, & capillaries from a person's body, and tied them end-to-end...the person will die."

 

[TheGoldMan]

Some wise words from @Rebellious Treecko .

Oh my god. I loved that game. LOL

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Carl Sagan looks like Chekov as an old man

Not to mention these people may be completely irrelevant to a particular person's life or a person may never have had enough education to learn who they are. As you said, knowing noteworthy scientists (and one psychologist but that's another can of worms in itself) doesn't exactly change anything about a person. They may know the people but they may not understand the scientific principles that these people put forth. For example, I'm completely clueless when it comes to physics.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Is that Kim Kardashian?

That is not a flattering picture if it is

Or she just has had a lot more plastic surgery since it was taken

Edit: Although she's had A LOT from this:

 

[Frostwraith]

You'd have to be pretty ignorant if you couldn't name any of the scientists on that picture.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

You'd have to be pretty ignorant if you couldn't name any of the scientists on that picture.

I think Einstein would be the most obvious

Edit: Steven Hawking being the second

 

[MSmariosonic]

I have deep respect for people with high knowledge.

Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

Who cares about old dead nerds when we can get all the info on Kimye's wedding!

 

[MSmariosonic]

Accept Shrek as your lord and savior. Or else Dankey is gon get ya.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Kimye is more relevant than those other people

Thus more importance

 

[Frostwraith]

I consider myself knowledgeable, but there's never enough knowledge in this world. There are and will be always things to discover.

Accept Shrek as your lord and savior. Or else Dankey is gon get ya.

My lord and savior is myself.

(That would be pretty narcissistic. lol)

 

[MSmariosonic]

Kimye is more relevant than those other people

Thus more importance

Besides, I don't recal anyone having erotic dreams about Charles Darwin or Albert Einstein.

Guess where I just got back from (And had to spend the night at their airport):

NYC!

So I'm here to tell you what I saw in the Nintendo World Store. Let's start with the first floor:

*Mario Kart 8 EVERYWHERE. They had two FULL GAME kiosks to try it out (And the demo version upstairs)
*Mario Merch: Plushes, Cofee Mugs, Playing Cards, you name it. Interesting to note that they had a Dry Bones hat.
*Other shirts and merch
*I do remember seeing a cardboard cutout of Shovel Knight
* The DK thing from E3 2013 was there
* 8 2DS's with Tomodachi life playable

Second Floor:

* A lot of Pokemon and some Kirby Merch
* A lot of demo kiosks (Most were like ones you find at Walmart/Gamestop, a few were exclusively e-shop, and one only had Shovel Knight.)
* Skylanders and Disney Infinity
* Games mostly on Wii U
* Alph and Pikmin thing from E3 2013
* A gallery

Some things to note:

*All three of the original DKC games were in the display with a King K. Rool figurine on top
*Mario's Time Machine was there
* The exclusive NP Samus figure was there

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yay, I get to spend the rest of my 4th of july at work

I may have asked this already once but what's your most wanted newcomer and your most wanted veteran?

Most wanted veterans would be Falco and Lucas because I used to main them and I'm a huge fan of the MOTHER series.

Also, I don't exactly care either way, but I think a Smash Bros game would feel incomplete without Captain Falcon. He's kind of iconic at this point.

Most wanted newcomer? I'm not sure, but I'd like characters that could conceivably have very different movesets from the other characters in their series. I feel like all the series that aren't Mario, Pokemon, or Zelda get pigeonholed into this weird stereotyped version of their own series, if that makes sense. Thus, 98235 jungle Donkey Kong stages and Starfox stages that all involve riding some sort of ship. (Maybe a stage from Starfox Adventures would be nice?)

 

[Pyra]

I may have asked this already once but what's your most wanted newcomer and your most wanted veteran?

Veteran would be the Captain. He's pretty awesome.

Newcomer? I've always personally wanted Paper Mario and people only say he'd be a clone if they've never played his games but it's not going to happen. If I were to go off the salamando gematsundere leak though, it'd probably be the Chorus Men, mostly because I'm curious as to how that would work.

 

[FalKoopa]

Veteran...

Newcomer? Isaac... but I'm doubting his chances ever since Gematsu leak slaughtered everyone except for the chosen 3.

 

[dimensionsword64]

Newcomer: King K. Rool
Veteran: Jigglypuff

 

[Substitution]

I may have asked this already once but what's your most wanted newcomer and your most wanted veteran?

Veteran: Mr. G&W/Dr. Mario
Newcomer: Um...
Erm...
I don't know. Muddy Mole?...
...Yeah, that works.

 

[Oatmeal.]

Most wanted veteran? I'll leave the obviously returning ones out of it, so...R.O.B.. Yes, really.

Most wanted newcomer? My only wanted newcomer, King K.Rool.

 

[Knight Dude]

I mostly want to see Ganondorf and Wario as far as veterans go. For new characters, I'd be happy to see just about anyone. Though Ridley, Issac, or Shulk would be really cool.

 

[MSmariosonic]

Yay, I get to spend the rest of my 4th of july at work

Work is for people with no money. #money

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Veteran...

Newcomer? Isaac... but I'm doubting his chances ever since Gematsu leak slaughtered everyone except for the chosen 3.

I don't know I think his chances are actually decent enough.
I don't know why but I highly doubt that Little Mac was the only Assist to get an upgrade.
And I highly doubt the gematsu leaked characters are the last of the Newcomers.
So at this point it's either Ray got upgraded and Isaac didn't or vice versa.
At least that's how I feel about the situation.
