Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[IceBreakerXY]

I'll be omw home from school when the direct starts so I guess I'm off for a while. hopefully when I return a certain knight of shovelry will join the battle

 

[memoryman3]

And I'm just here wondering where's Princess Daisy.

You and me both kid, you and me both.

So who else is excited at the prospect of devising redstone contraptions on their Nintendo consoles? I sure am!

 

[Bedoop]

Found some fancy headphones lying around
It even has a MICROPHONE!
~Xander Mobus

So that's cool
I can watch the direct with fancy headphones n' listen to smooth sounds
Yeahuh

 

[Fenriraga]

The Nintendo gods are smiling upon me.

They don't need me at work today.

Meaning I can watch the Direct... DIRECTLY.

 

[Soul.]

Hey guys, how many hours left until the Direct again?

 

[Substitution]

Hey guys, how many hours left until the Direct again?

Around 6-7 hours iirc.

 

[TaichiYaegashi]

Hey guys, how many hours left until the Direct again?

Approximately 5 hours and 25 minutes.

 

[Reality_Ciak]

I'm hoping for a delayed crashboards. Like. The hype surging through everyones bodies disables anyone from posting for a brief period of time. Like. I feel like I'll be hysterical for a good 20 minutes to an hour after the direct ends depending on what they close with.

 

[Fenriraga]

There's one thing that's bothering me...

Doesn't Smash's online go down for matinance when big updates come?
Because there's no scheduled matinance for Smash...

 

[DoodleDuck97]

You know what. Aside from my last post hoping.
Call it a Conspiracy Theory
But SF Zero was meant to be out this Month right.
Could it be.

 

[Retroend]

Well samurai retweeted for the direct. Omg I can't take it anymore! Please don't let me down sakurai!!!

 

[Solfiner]

I have a feeling that this direct could top the one in April.

 

[Chandeelure]

I'm back from university!
Now, time to wait.

 

[TheAnvil]

I'm suddenly understanding why Cartman wanted to freeze himself in that episode of South Park.

 

[Fenriraga]

Any of you folks wanna Smash?

I went on For Glory to build hype and then remembered why I stopped playing For Glory. :V

 

[Wario Bros.]

MASHPOTATO SAMURAI TWEETED!!??

I can feel my heart beat now!

IS IT DIRECT TIME YET??

 

[DMurr]

So, if Twilight Princess is getting an HD remake then what are the odds that Skyward Sword may get one, thoughts?

Well, the same thing that leaked Twilight Princess HD also leaked an eShop listing for Skyward Sword on the Virtual Console. So, I would say the chances of it are pretty low.

 

[Warchamp7]

No matter what is announced, expect Crashboards.

1. Don't be silly, that's the olden days

2. Y'all don't realize the insane traffic we get when big Smash news happen

 

[Khoru]

Speaking of dating sims, anybody here heard of Hatoful Boyfriend?

yessssss
the creator's gotten into undertale lately

 

[memoryman3]

The work done on the new revamped SmashBoards is great! The Daisy support thread would crash the site everytime someone tried to edit it before, but now it's bigger and better than ever! Thanks!

Smash logo flashes.

A shovel plunges into the dirt - once, twice.

It's him, the guy. Just diggin' a hole.

"Shovel Knight digs in!"

Splat. An orange blot of ink appears on his helmet. He touches it with his gauntlet, gets some ink on his hand, inspects it. Suddenly, he's pelted with ink. Startled, he brandishes his shovel, deflecting some of the shots with the blade.

The camera whirls around. It's them.

"Inklings aren't squiddin' around!"

Mario and the crew crest a hill and find Shovel Knight fending off eight separate Inklings. The ground is positively soaked with ink.

Mario beckons for them to join them. Bowser does his weird, goofy lockjawed grin he seems to always be doing in Smash cinematics. Shovel Knight and the Inkling stop, look at each other, and shrug. They walk toward them.

Camera jumps to behind Mario and crew and pans down as they turn around. The look down at a large bomb that rolls gently through the grass, coming to rest at their feet. The fuse is lit. They do that weird anime thing where the screen cuts into eight separate windows with different characters expressing variations of surprise. The bomb framed in the center. It explodes. Fade to white.

The smoke begins to clear. Mario picks his hat off the ground, puts it on, and looks around. A silhouette of a boxy-headed dude with an antenna on his head and quite possibly a red scarf stands statuesque. The smoke clears more.

It's the other guy.

"Bomberman blows away the competition!"

Leemak and I squeal our giddy heads off.

And then Smashboards dies. Sounds about right.

 

[Z25]

So we finally got that retweet! Looks like my statement that this will be the biggest direct is coming together...

...And then, you woke up.

 

[TaRtOoN-Hand94]

I'll be omw home from school when the direct starts so I guess I'm off for a while. hopefully when I return a certain knight of shovelry will join the battle

The look on everyone's face if Sakurai starts the direct with a shovel, a lamp, a DK barrel, and a model Wolfen ship in the background!

 

[Opossum]

Bingo cards, eh? For fairness, I'm sticking with the one I made the other day.



...The one that doesn't have Minecraft U and includes King of Hyrule's trailer.


I'm going hard mode now.

 

[CroonerMike]

I can't wait for Metroid Federation information.





jokes on all of you since I actually like the game...

 

[Deleted member]

And then The Heavy showed up to beat up little babies in little baby fighting game.

 

[Wario Bros.]

While I love to make Bingo sheets for Nintendo's E3, I'm not risking making one for this Direct.

What's the risk? You being wrong?
It's not like the Yakuza are going to chop off your fingers if you don't make a correct prediction or something.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I can't wait for Metroid Federation information.

I am maybe one of the only person on the earth that was actually happy at the annoucemend of Federation Force. Yeah, i'm maybe a weirdo but hey, i prefer we got something related to Metroid than nothing.

But then again, i tend to like some weird stuff. So hey, i don't know.

 

[Oasis Dealer]

I'm so glad I have school and a project to hold me over 'till 5:00. This wait is agonizing...

I'm honestly stumped as to what the new character(s) could be, if we get one even. I'll just say, if Snake appears anywhere, I'll probably be on the verge of crying tears of joy. Then get hyped about every other game they announce.

 

[Substitution]

Speaking of Directs and games...

Speaking of Directs, we haven't had pointless bets that we all will regret later...
I bet we'll get Twilight Princess HD. Loser(s) changes their avi for a week.
Who's with me?

I feel it's time we shook up the thread a bit.

That is why we will make our team on Federation Force together! Fight the world.

 

[Wario Bros.]

To me Directs are harder to predict than E3 plus the long hiatus of no Directs will most likely make it even harder.

But also I don't feeling like making one today.

 

[Metal Shop X]

I don't know if i will buy the game. With the little information we have. There isn't alot of thing for say to me.

"Oh gosh!! I need it!"

But hey, i still support the game. Nintendo could prove to all of us that Federation Force could be a actually a great game.

 

[Z25]

The Wii U and Nintendo Direct are Trending on Twitter!

The Hype Is real!

 

[PushDustIn]

Hey PushDustIn

Ever thought about having you guys' podcasts on another format as well so I can listen to them offline and when I'm on my phone/MP3?


Just asking?


Didn't we get Crashboards when the Super Mario Maker stage was announced?

We will offer the podcast in Mp3 format. The goal is to set up an rss feed and make it subscribable in ITunes. We are working on setting some things up before we start that approval process. Sorry that it's taking awhile but we are aware and working towards that goal!!

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I'm still super butt hurt that the day I start my new job is the day of the return of Nintendo Directs. What timing!

Speaking of time we don't know how long the direct is going to be, do we?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

How long until the Direct again?

I wanna see y'all at the apex of your hype before it goes down.
