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

[Guybrush20X6]

So, I want to buy a SEGA 3D Classic title from the eShop (to go along with the upcoming retail collection title). I have enough on my eShop balance to buy that collection and one title that a select are thankfully on sale 33% off right now. Help me pick my poison (don't worry: none on sale are included in the bundle):

• After Burner II
  
• Ecco the Dolphin
  
• Gunstar Heroes
  
• Out Run
• Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja
  
• Space Harrier
  
• Streets of Rage
• Streets of Rage 2
• Super Hang-On

I'd say Streets of Rage 2.

What about Reggieboards? Everyone is replaced with Reggie, Reggie everywhere. My body would be ready for this.

We should have Chronoboards as this year's april fool's prank.

Everybody gets a Leif (Fire Emblem) avatar and your post has to be at least 400 words long.

Im joking, i love Chronobound.....

Or maybe we could have Jojoboards. Seeing how April 1st is also part 4's premiere.

I don't know too much about the other games, but I've been playing Gunstar Heroes recently. It's a bit on the short side, but it's a lot of fun.

Actually the perfect idea:

Cloud Boards!

Everyone is saturated with lots of Cloud related things as punishment for all those who thought it was stupid and would never happen, as well as celebrating that cloud somehow finally got into smash bros.

It's perfect!

If smashboards could be so kind as to hand me a Tifa avatar that would be swell

Dibs on Mallo.

I thought Mallo was just a sumo wrestler not a cloud

Everybody can just become Square characters lol.

There's enough of them from square enix.

Added bonus if non enix characters that are square, are added to lol.

Or better yet: Do the same April Fool's joke in 2014, just with an even more broken alert system.
That would be great.

Or expanding on the idea of crashboards.

Everytime you load a page, there's a 1 in 100 chance that it crashes and a screen of 404 error with Crash Bandicoot dancing comes up.

I'd be down for it! Anyone else?

How about Roy Boards?

Everyobdy gets an avatar of a character named Roy.

These Roys include:
Roy from FE
Roy Koopa
Roy Earle
Roy Mustang
Roy from Mario Tennis
Roy O' Disney
Roy E' Disney
Roy Harrison.

Among other Roys. Oh, and every user gets renamed to Roy................

.........Okay, i can't come up with good ideas.

 

[Deleted member]

Playing Revelations now:

The fact that Chapter 7 has killed me more then the final boss in Birthright and is harder, is actually kind of sad...

Spoiler

Oooooooh boy, if you thought that quest was hard. You're going to be in for a treat for later quests.

I mean, if it weren't for being able to grind, I would say that revelations is much harder than conquest.

I'd be ok with this.

Or just Smash Meme boards.

Literally all types of smash 4 memes are plastered around the site. Everyone gets changed to either default character in Smash 4, meme version, or comic.
Sigs are just changed to include various memey statements like:

"Have you ever made a game?"
"My body is reggie!"
etc. Might take a bit to do, but has so much potential.

To be serious I'd rather not. Especially since currently both Smash 4's community and Melee's community are at each other's throats.

Should be WAAAAH!Boards.

It wasn't that hard. I lost someone 4 times. All to the 3rd room you find. It wasn't really that hard but gave me more of a fight then BR's final boss lol.

Really like the concept they have. Finding your way in the dark. There were some good secrets to. Gunther was also kind of useful in it.... Prettty interesting contrast to the other 2 stories

Roy from Mario Tennis. . .?

*looks*

>His name is Ryu in Japan

WELP XD

 

[Z25]

I forgot that his name was actually Roy..... He's still Max Tennison to me, and nothing can convince me otherwise!

To be serious I'd rather not. Especially since currently both Smash 4's community and Melee's community are at each other's throats.

If it's focused on the right things in regards to smash 4, it could be fine.

Royu leaks were on an a level no one could have ever guessed

 

[Deleted member]

Hey guys, remember the Smash Ballot?

What if the SmashBoards staff made a news article on the front page that talks about Nintendo confirming Smash NX and also mentions that they are reopening the Smash Ballot for the NX version?

That would be one HELL of way to celebrate the Ballot's 1st year anniversary AND make an april fools prank. 2 birds in 1 shot.

Ah, I was about to say, the quest is pretty easy. Nothing will really get too hard until later. And even then, as long as you got well leveled units, you should get through A-Okay.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Strange how sometimes one piece of conversation is HUGE in one place but not another. FFXV stream and Alison Rapp are pretty big everywhere else I look at. Meanwhile here we are talking about April Fools. Although seeing this thread dive into the craziness GAF is over Rapp probably wouldn't be too fun to watch so I guess that is an improvement sometimes.

There would straight up be riots

Just finished downloading GiIvaSunner's Highest Quality Video Game Rips: Volume 1 digital album.

No more ****ty quality video game music for me!

To take it a step further, they actually make a fake ballot setup and just sit back and watch the chaos spread.....

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Why is there controversy with Miss Rapp?

Seems like a cut and dry thing.

 

[PushDustIn]

I think the ironic thing about GamerGate attacking Rapp over her essay, is that she was very anti censorship in it. She claimed that censoring those kinds of materials has no effect on attacks on children, which was later construed into her supporting pedophiles. She was against Western laws because she saw them ineffective, and unneeded in Japan. Also, Rapp had nothing to do with localization changes in the games that people were upset with. She doesn't even speak Japanese.

She was probably fired on paper for her modeling job, but in reality in was probably a mixture of the GG harassment, and for being somewhat unstable as a PR representative. She also talked a lot about herself on Twitter. After all, it's not like she hid her modeling job at all.

So your saying that Nintendo would announce that they are allowing riot games to make this official?

Or would it look like this?

 

[A Distant Demon]

GamerGate is involved. Even if it was cut and dry there would be controversy just because of the buzzword immediately making people jump to oppose or defend GamerGate.





BTW Nintendo made a statement on her being fired

GoldenBoards.

Everyone is Golden.


....wait no. That's a terrible idea.

Golden as in Golden Sun?

Isaac confirmed.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Why would GG attack someone over anti censorship? Lol, is she a declared feminist or SJW?

 

[Ura]

Yo where's the FF15 reveal happening? (URL)

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Why would GG attack someone over anti censorship? Lol, is she a declared feminist or SJW?

Yeah, were they anti GG's?

I'm still confused.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm kind of disappointed with GG if that's all true. I think I mostly take her side

 

[Burruni]

Yeah, were they anti GG's?

I'm still confused.

My understanding is simply that she was a very unprofessional staff member and spoke openly about some very questionable material.

 

[Ura]

NVM I found the link. The FF15 stream is happening here for anyone interested.

What did she even say to promote pedohphilia? That's all I'm wondering right now.

One could say that Fire Emblem sealed her Fate

 

[PushDustIn]

She is a radical feminist, which is why GG didn't like her. The people spun her anti censorship of that kind of material into her supporting pedophile. She didn't like people who got arrested for possession of CP, but I don't think she supported attacking kids. She did suggest to lower the age of consent, but AFAIK she never said what age.

I actually wanted to write an article explaining Rapps views on Sg, but everyone suggested against it.
