My questions is, why are you watching someone that isnt funny?
I agree, his jokes are either hit-or-miss and only few of them are legitimate funny. We're mostly in it for the sake of seeing what flaws certain movies (whether they are good or bad) had and discuss what thing's could be improved to make it better. She did make a pretty good point that the Super Mario Bros. movie could have been better if it had original characters and didn't have the title "Super Mario Bros." slapped on it (Though it was understandable given what time period this was and it's one of the first video game based films). The Tom and Jerry movie would have been much better if the Robyn subplot didn't exist, the characters never said a word, and we could see more slapstick from the duo themselves. And as for any Don Bluth related film, he flatout should have gave up directing films after the release of The Secret of Nymph given how terrible later films like A Troll in Central Park and Rock-a-Doodle were.

So overall, we were "playing critic" for hours while seeing how terrible these movies were in the shortest way possible. :laugh:

It's more peaceful today. Lol, I even thought today was a Monday and nope, it isn't, it's just a Friday; it doesn't even feel like one to begin with, for me anyway.
Well then. I suppose this year is starting to be a very weird one.
Not to mention the slow pace.

Okay, what? That makes absolutely no sense. If they assume and know you you speak and understand the language, then they should speak that language. It'd be like going to England and having a person trying to speak like an American despite the fact that aside from slang, pronunciation, and such, British English is the same as American English. Or a mainland Chinese person speaking horrible Cantonese when Mandarin is fine in Hong Kong.

I've had that happen to me. Tons of foreign exchange students and such from Asia, right? Freaking everyone assumes I speak Mandarin Chinese. I can understand Cantonese, but I can't understand Mandarin. This only happened with a Chinese guy who was in a German class I tried out and swapped and a girl who was lost. Man, I can't wait for Koreans, Japanese, Thai, and every other Asian to come up and ask me in their own language. Oh, and I can't wait for that one day some dude who wants to practice walk up and try to start a conversation with me in Khmer.

See, this is why I want to learn Jamaican Patois or something like a Scottish accent to mess with people. Someone walks up speaking in Korean and I say in Portuguese I have no idea what you're saying. :p

Your friend doesn't happen to be named Johnny and has a goatee?
Most people in Japan assumes that foreigners are unable to speak Japanese. When you do, it's either:

A) a shocked expression followed by a "Come again?" (In Japanese of course)

B) a surprised reaction like "Oh wow your Japanese is so good!"

I've been living in Japan for 5 years now but first came here 10-11 years ago. I still get asked these questions/comments:

A) Can you eat Japanese o-sushi? O-sushi is Japabese raw fish on Japanese vinegar steam white rice. Do you know? (In English)

B) Can you use Japanese hashi? (Chopsticks) (in English)

C) Oh wow, your Japanese is so good! (After hearing me say "Arigatou gozaimasu" or thank you in Japanese) (in Japanese)

D) Do you have Japanese O-shougatsu (New Years) in America?

E) Are you Christian? Every American is Christian, right?

I get these types of questions/comments on a regular basis. Even from people who have known me for years. That's the curse of being a foreigner in Japan. You get the celebrity status (depending where in Japan you live) but you aren't treated as part of the club. Meaning, no matter how good your Japanese is, how much kanji you know, how much about Japanese culture you know, or how you've mastered every dialect; you will still be seen as a foreigner and treated the same.

View attachment 35209

Here we can see a sentient Spider-Mobile being driven by Ultimate Spider-Man II and Disney XD Ultimate Spider-Man whith 60's Spider-Man and Mini Marvels Spider-Man holding from it also with a Jacketed Spider-Man holding from a web attached to it and besides there's a Cowboy Spider-Man with a Spider-Horse.

Do I have your attention now?
Does not include Italian Spiderman. 0/10

This question isn't that surprising considering how Christianity had taken over 66% of the entire planet by storm (Which was something Interesting that I learned in Global History). It's just one of those religions that were easy to spread in the past and exploded in popularity until modern day times. Though I'm not implying that anyone can't feel free to choose their own path regardless of their home or background.

Just curious here (sorry for going of the topic)
But did anyone ever find out were this Render came from.

I mean don't get me wrong I love Ness's Smash 4 render as it is.
But this one has the bat and the blue tint eyes.
Just a question :3
I honestly have no idea but the first thing that comes to mind is Earthbound 64 for some reason

Has anyone noticed any ads that automatically redirect you to another page? It seems that the only way I can view Smashboards effectively in Google Chrome is by using incognito mode.

It could very well be a virus.....
That, too. I know I had a similar thing a while back but I figured it out when I checked for Malware and reinstalled afar. @ Cap'nChreest Cap'nChreest , you may wanna check for that.

Well, that makes me want to visit Japan even less.






...I at least want to learn more Japanese first just to see the reactions in person.
You should defintely visit Japan. It's an amazing country. It's the Japanese people that made me fall in love with it in the first place.

That's funny, I also prefer Domino's too, but homemade pizza is good. I've had some experience with the Hut, and while it isn't bad, I haven't heard great things about it.. that's at least what some friends think.

I'm using Chrome and that problem isn't occurring to me, so I'm good.
