I just had a cheeseburger and some yogurt.

I've got nothing else to say. I hate being bored easily.

That's coming out much sooner than I expected (August 20th, so in about three weeks), and there's a lot more story in this than I thought a Battletoads game would have. (it feels like a Saturday morning cartoon)

Also, that Stan Lee figure is great.

I can't hear this song without hearing an edit I heard on YouTube.

A duck walked up to a lemonade stand
And he said to the man, running the stand
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) SuCk My ****?"

And the man said, "no, no, how about no?"

Thanks, I hate it

Jesus Christ, I just had a scare. I thought I had locked myself out of my house. Thankfully I found a way back in through a window.

That's why you always check if you've brought your key. You'll never know if you screwed yourself until it's too late.

hmmm.. so the logo and all that jazz is going along well, but I'm not entirely set on the color palette I chose(Yellow with a black outline with a white and/or green background)
I might come around to it(and even then I can always change it if I need to) but it isn't exactly my best work so to speak.

I'm also redoing my banner as well because why not while I have the time.

HOLY CRAP I DID IT.

Congrats!!! Really happy for you, my dude.

Looks pretty cool I must say.

A little surprised they didn't get the Killer Instinct voice actor for Rash.

Edit: oops is quoted the wrong post.

Duty noted. Why I'll be keeping my wallet with me at all times from now on (I keep my key in there).

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You'll find the "Japanese Swordsmanship and naming conventions" thing is already done with Zero.

Anyway, with the way they do naming conventions for weapons (Mega Buster, X-Buster, Z-Saber, Bass Buster, Proto Shield) I think it'd include the word "Roll" somewhere in there.

With that in mind, I'd personally give Roll a bo staff (basically the broom without the cleaning part) and call it the "Staff Roll" or something.

That’s kind of where the sword idea came from. I watched her gameplay in Powered Up and it looked a lot like Zero’s Sabre stuff to me.

Nothing to see here, move along.

Well now I’m curious

I love this coffee house remix of megalovania:

I hate the designs and art direction but the gameplay does look kinda fun.

I got the rest of my gouki deck today, which means it's time for another deck profile. yay... haven't done a yugioh deck profile in awhile so I dunno how I'm gonna do it.

So cool it’s coming out so soon! I can’t wait to finally play this! Wonder how much they’re asking for it?

Eh. I’m cool with it. The fact that it’s actual 2D animation and not sprites is super welcome. And the designs look fine to me. The more angular look fits the world of the Toads pretty well.

 

[Mamboo07]

Just putting here, now move along.

You quoted me and edited it out before I could read it.

I'm sorry little one. But now, you must die.

I’d take sprites if the alternative was to look this ugly and choppy with its animation. It looks like it’s trying way too hard to appeal to kids.

I just don’t agree. I think the animation looks great (although I apparently am immune to frame rates because I can’t tell the difference between 30 and 60) and it’s like... it’s stylistically ugly. Like, part of the Toad’s general feel has always been kind of ugly/gross.

As a teenager, I would never sit in such an uncomfortable position.

While I understand why some people aren't fond of the designs, I can't help but feel sad about other shows and games which turned out to be really good but got killed over people disliking the artstyle.

One example I remember really well as It happened when I was young: Transformers Animated.

Back when the show got announced, everyone despised the idea just because of the designs. The internet was full of Transformers fans mocking any kind of excitement about It by throwing out comments about how dumb the chins and proportions of every character looked and how It would send the franchise to dead even more than the Bay movies.

When It came out, the few people who saw It ended up getting a well written show which took all the best traits of each character from G1, fixed the traits nobody liked of some characters such as Prowl and added their own twists to the Transformers basic structure to stand out on its own through the cleverly written dialogue and characters.

Sadly, It was too late when people found out how good the show actually turned out to be. Views were really low and the toys didn't sell as well, and the entirety of a planned Season 3 which would have expanded the plot even more had to be cancelled, and since then many Transformers fans who used to hate It over the artstyle regretted their choice back then.

Not trying to defend Battletoads specifically as the game could still turn out bad if the Gameplay isn't really good and is a glitch-fest, but I do want to give the Game a fair chance and try It out sometime after It comes out to prevent a possible case such as the one the Transformers fandom and many others did with productions such as Animated.

Sorry for the sudden long post, just really wanted to talk It with the chat.

Exactly. People put way too much stock into character designs and can be super neophobic about it.

Remember when the Sun and Moon anime was announced, and X&Y fans were swearing up and down that it ruined Anipoke and Ash wasn't gonna be serious anymore and how it's gonna be for kids (like it wasn't already)?

Guess which Ash actually won a league.

Btw, they're still going on about how """""bad""""" Anipoke is nowadays.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

I have quite limited knowledge of Battletoads, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think the style works fine for the series. Big emphasis on “fine” though. Could’ve been more unique and interesting.

Anipoke? Geez I’m out of the loop.

Anime Pokemon. Or AniPoke for short.

Going by this tweet, there will be some reveals at the fighting game roundtable today (which is in about 7 hours from now), so it might be worth watching, or at least having on in the background. (at the very least, there's going to be a new Guilty Gear character shown)

Oh, I forgot about that. Hopefully there's some interesting game news revealed.

I am personally hoping that they reveal new Tekkén and DBFZ DLC.

Heard rumours about Kyryu in Tekkén and Roshi in DBFZ, both being fighters who would be curious to see in the respective games.

I got my intro, youtube icon, banner, and my Gouki deck profile done. I'm feeling great today!
I'm actually quite proud of how the logo in particular turned out. I would show it here but I can't exactly post images just yet

Anywayyyy... what's up doc?

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I just bought this nendoroid on Amazon, it the oldest figure I've purchased, all the figures I own are from the earliest 2015. This ones from 2011

Once I found out they made a valkyria chronicles figure I went as fast I could to see how expensive it was online. Since it wasn't that expensive I took the plunge and got one.

Just here thinking about what to do later today to keep celebrating the good news.

May buy a Steam Gift card of 25€ for Persona 4 Golden or something like that.

There are flash games from Newgrounds that move characters better than this. This doesn’t feel like intentionally ugly, it feels lazy ugly. And it’s not just the toads, the Dark Queen has no resemblance the old one, and I don’t mean the skimpy clothes. It’s like putting a yellow jacket on Megan Fox and calling her April O’Neil

I think this comment I found said it best:
