Somewhere... overthinking something

Some people like to overreact to things even though it isn't really annoying them. Its like some here are incapable of ignoring this.
There's a proper place to talk about certain things though and it's simply a matter of courtesy to not drag on a conversation that virtually nobody else is interested in having. Yes, he is fully allowed to talk about it but there's a specific reason why this forum has so many different threads.

Add in: Also, I'm irritable because I have had no work assignments for the last 6 1/2 hours.

If Diddy wants to blather on and on (mindlessly) about Impa's importance to the Zelda franchise, let him. He's not hurting anyone, aside from offending sensibilities and what have you.
Well, it's just annoying, because every time he changes a subject, it is to that and he rehashes the same points, and never sees the other argument. He has turned some of the best discussions into just Impa moaning and groaning, and once he gets a few supporters, it never stops.

Say what you will about Kuma's discussion of Impa, but at least he gives good reasons, offers interesting ideas, and pushes the discussion forward.
@John- Well in Other M's case, the hate for that mostly comes from its story (even though I didn't like the gameplay either), so it's easier I guess to hate on that than say Twilight Princess
The gameplay was much more unique, though. Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, sans real-time action in the latter and the motion controls, were downgrades of Ocarina of Time largely. If the story of a NINTENDO GAME (which is notorious for bad story), that pretty much means nothing.

Live and let live, Fatman. Ya'll could elect to not respond or even politely dismiss Diddy's desire for Impa in Smash, and further any other conversation besides.
@ John: Sounds like a few other posters I know in this thread, and countless others beyond.

So, sup people?
Now looking for IT jobs. Didn't want to do it, but then I realized the long term possibilities for me.

Nice.

I wish I had a Wii U so I could play Earthbound without its piracy checker making the game impossible.


Actually some emulators work around that now I hear.

Jungle Japes has the awful insta-kill Klap Trap which kills matches, and 2 of PS2's transformations make the game really hard to play.
Klap-trap we'd have to discuss, it was proven to be semi predictable then a special stalling was used as ban criteria though that stalling was found to be so insanely difficult if you could do it for 8 minutes you are a god. And much testing proved PS2 was the most neutral stage in terms of not effecting matchups in the game, so much some regions had it as a starter. If you were to have a 1 stage list, technically PS2 would be the best choice. Scary right?

Good going man. I need a job. My dad told me there's an IT spot at his job that I could take, which would be good, considering I'm going to major in computer science and could use the experience with fixing their computers and junk.

When you have someone screaming at the dinner table, it's kind of hard to ignore them; just sayin'.
The problem with that is that it's rude to just up and get up from the dinner table without being excused but on a forum it's perfectly fine to just leave to let off some steam or just completely ignore someone's ... text. :ohwell:

The problem isn't Klap Trap being semi-predictable, but being hit into it is an instant kill.

As for PS2, again, the windmill transformation makes it hard to fight for a while, and the electric treadmill transformation does the same thing. The ground transformation is one of my favorite layouts in smash ever, while the ice transformation (sans the sliding ice physics) is a great transformation.

However, I think in Smash WiiU, those 2 "bad" transformations would be more manageable, especially the windmill one (with the less floaty physics).

I've never had a problem playing earthbound on an emulator. And I haven't played it on one in like 10 years

But the actual most neutral stage ever is banned! Isn't that a bad thing even if you have to learn a bit more to fight on it?

And if I have good enough aim to hit you right into the klap trap right when it comes up, shouldn't I be rewarded?

And this virtual space that we're interacting through is akin to the stentorian clamor of someone screaming at you across the table? C'mon, Fatman, how hard is it to skim through a post, roll your eyes, and simply not address it? Especially when it's the same old **** every single time. Nobody here has to rise to the occasion and try to rehabilitate the infidel Diddy Kong for his love of Impa. Just let him say his piece, ingratiatingly (and virtually) nod your head, and go about your business. It doesn't have to be this ****ing debacle that goes on and on and on for pages.

Or, if you can't do that, put his ass on ignore.

HEYYYYYYYYYY----

"Mind Ranger?" Oh snap. The lost Power Ranger has come to the Social! Has the color purple ever been apart of your sent---

I mean, yes, this is the social thread where you can come and listen to us bull**** about bull****. Welcome!

soundless text on an internet forum =/= someone being obnoxiously loud at a dinner table
You know what I mean... It's still a matter of dominating a conversation that most people have openly stated that they don't want to have multiple times. Why should everyone else leave when it's the one person being rude? It's not like I'm saying he can't have an opinion but the fact that this topic has kept coming back multiple times a week since I came back to these forums about a month ago is really getting on my nerves.

Hell and blood, I think it's the "Smooth Criminal" at the end of all my posts. That's why nobody takes me seriously. Y'know what, fine. I'm going to end my posts in random words from now on.

So here is where we talk about anything?

Pretty much yes!

-earthbound comes out on virtual console
-American Horror Story gets 17 Emmy Nominations
-Firefly game coming out (for iOS, but it gives me hope)

Pretty good day for me
Sums things up rather well!

Too bad they didn't confirm Ness with the virtual console thing, would have been awesome...

Mostly because the whole who's who argument is ****ing dumb in the long run.
Or because unique characters > this character/that character debates. And that is why the two potential newcomers I want (Ridley and K. Rool) are not just super popular and important to their franchises, but could be completely unlike anything we have not just seen in smash bros., but in a fighting game perio

All the cool kids already have Firefly on DVD/Blu-Ray! :shades:d.

K.Rool? Don't we already have a big round lizard/reptile? :troll:

Do you know who I should ask to get my name combined to "MindRanger" instead of "Mind Ranger?"

Just ignoring someone doesn't solve the problem though. Going through seven months of legal hoops last year to get a restraining order against my girlfriend's stalker taught me that much.
This little happenstance on a ****ing internet forum is nowhere NEAR comparable to that, Fatman. This is decidedly different. You're talking about harassment on a personal level; this isn't (and shouldn't be) anywhere near that.

My condolences to you and your girlfriend, though. Nobody should have to go through something like that.

I believe Diddy drew that one.

Were you not present for Soupa Smush Fur?
I say we relive it :troll:
Anybody up to draw derp pictures of characters for smash?

A demon turtle compared to a psychopath ruler with a personality disorder and changes his personality and fighting methods a lot=???

Yeah, they sound the same.
It makes me wonder if Ness/Lucas or at least a Mother stage will be announced later tonight to commemorate the occasion.
Or Mario getting something tomorrow, since Dream Team came out either yesterday, today, or tomorrow in Japan.

But still, good point.

I know the answer to this.

Ask one of the Site Admins, like Xivii or Virg (I can never remember how the latter's name is spelled). They can help you with a name change.
