@Babycowland
Thank you very kindly! My stats are apparantly...

Emil's stats:
68 HP
110 Attack
25 Defense
84 Special Attack
60 Special Defense
119 Speed
Psychic/Electric Type
Ability: Aftermath

At this point I don't want to watch anything they make. They're turning into Etika

This hate for GameXplain still really surprises me. I never thought I'd see them be compared to Etika. What about giving us a better look of the Zelda U trailer (that they are obviously very hyped about, like we all are) is like Etika's 'scream for views' things? :/

GameXplain are great, and their Analysises are still top-notch.

They ain't nowhere near that bad.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

At this point I don't want to watch anything they make. They're turning into Etika

This isn't the first time they have done this.

They did the same thing with another piece gameplay from another game (might have been Zelda Wii U gameplay), but of course, no one remembers lol

 

[Ivander]

So according to shindanmaker:

Spoiler: My shindan stats...

-Game Title: Ivander's Race. Genre: Party Game. ESRB: TEEN - My title just sounds like a SJW Chris Hanson just waiting to happen.
-Ivander's RPG weapon is Gunblade - Fitting considering that name was inspired by "Evander" which has something to do with archers.
-Ivander is a Umbreon. - HELL YEAH!! MY favorite Eeveelution! Also a crazy cat person and Umbreon resembles my late cat...
-Ivander as a Manga/Anime character is *, has * * hair, pink eyes, is *m tall and is loud. - ...Mother of.....Besides the pink eyes and being loud, that is scarily accurate that I actually had to withhold info. What's with me getting scarily accurate diagnostic results?
-Ivander is 175% Tsundere. - Really?
-Ivander is 25% Waifu Material. - That's rather surprising considering 2 of my traits and my Tsundere percentage are apparently big for waifu material. Must be the loudness and pink eyes.
-Ivander is B Tier. - I know Robin is B Tier, can't remember about Shulk, but hey, rather fitting if both are B tier and even then, one is at least B Tier.
-Ivander's anime last lines are: "Can we go home now?" - I laughed big time. Once again, so surprisingly accurate.
-Ivander's FF Class is a Thief. - Nice, fitting with that name again. - They have the extra command ability: Holy Breath. - I doubt that greatly. - Their passive ability is Auto-Protect! - I'm fine with that.
-If Ivander is a Godzilla Kaiju, Ivander is Jet Jaguar. - *thumbs up* Yes! Here's the link if you want to find out which Godzilla Kaiju you are. https://en.shindanmaker.com/580664
-Ivander...Your true form is that you're great in everything!. - Certainly not the first time I've heard this before, right Mom and Dad? https://en.shindanmaker.com/541917
-Ivander's Role in a Harem is the Tsundere. - Good lord, everyone is calling me a Tsundere today. https://en.shindanmaker.com/362069
-Ivander's Power is Self-Confidence. - Geez, I know you people work on giving me encouragement, but I am certainly not that self-confident. I swear, after that one fortune cookie, I've been getting a whole lot of these lately. https://en.shindanmaker.com/533303
-How edgy am I? Ivander has no emotional value. - There's that encouragement I was looking for. https://en.shindanmaker.com/523819
-Ivander's super hero name is Cameo Lance. https://en.shindanmaker.com/268648
-Ivander's Ideal Type is: A outgoing person who is taller than them and has green eyes and black hair. - Ooo...I don't know if it is possible for that someone to be that taller than me, but the rest actually sounds quite nice. https://en.shindanmaker.com/297545
-Ivander's weapon in RWBY will be a gladius combined with a boomerang. - I actually want to see that in action. That actually sounds cool. https://en.shindanmaker.com/371106
-Ivander's second weapon in RWBY will be a scythe combined with a semi-auto shotgun. - So apparently, myself in RWBY is a fan of curved weapons. https://en.shindanmaker.com/418123 And yes, it's different from the first one.
-Ivander used his/her special attack, Breaking Sonic Buster Divider! It's SUPER KAKKOII!!! - My special attack is dividing the sound barrier? https://en.shindanmaker.com/214534
-In anime, Ivander is a yandere assassin who saves humans. Now begins Ivander's funny story... - A Yandere Assassin who saves humans? How the hell does that even work and how is that more favorable than what is already happening to them? So my anime(according to a chart) is called Cowboy Sushi Fantasy and I am a Yandere assassin who saves humans? I cannot even begin to imagine what would come out of this. Doesn't help that my last anime lines are "Can we go home now?" Any reason why?

Oh, here comes the fun stuff.
-Ivander x Lucina has a 51% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Palutena has a 61% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Samus has a 60% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Peach has a 32% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Zelda has a 29% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Sheik has a 62% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Robin(F) has a 51% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Wii Fit Trainer has a 29% chance of being a successful ship.
-Ivander x Rosalina has a 31% chance of being a successful ship.
https://en.shindanmaker.com/472007
-Zelda loves you. - Well, that explains why Sheik is much higher than Zelda. You just can't show it as much as Zelda than you can as Sheik.

That's my stats according to Shindan. Now excuse me while I still curse at this stupid Yahoo Search virus thing that's gotten my computer until my uncle can check it.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I wish I still lived in an area that did black Friday on Friday

This very well may be the last thanksgiving with my grandfather and I worked

This hate for GameXplain still really surprises me. I never thought I'd see them be compared to Etika. What about giving us a better look of the Zelda U trailer (that they are obviously very hyped about, like we all are) is like Etika's 'scream for views' things? :/

GameXplain are great, and their Analysises are still top-notch.

In a way I can't blame them, news are super slow and they've already ripped apart Xenoblade X and they've posted every thing they can about it without spoiling. And there's literally nothing else going on right now (except Super Mystery Dungeon, but I think that's Derrick's area and he's been busy with XCX).

I think they're still a quality channel, despite the weird slip ups like this.

No.
Well, there's another potentially fun novelty asking for too much from me.

Also you should get AVAST and do a boot time scan if you actually have a virus. D:

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Correction: They're slowly turning into Etika. Forgive me, but the clickbait's getting worse and worse, I don't care if they lampshade it, it's getting bad

 

[PushDustIn]

I thought the video was silly, but in the end its something that some people want so I don't see any harm in it. They aren't misleading anyone so I don't see the harm in it.

 

[Jaedrik]

No harm, no foul.
If there's a market, well, then...
It doesn't matter how silly we think it is.

 

[N3ON]

Obvious view-farming and click-baiting is obvious, but some seem to enjoy it and it's not like the money they're making is coming out of my pocket so at the end of the day I don't really give much of a ****.

Personally I'd rather see a genuine reaction even if it's more subdued than someone screaming for the sake of views, but it is what it is. I don't really watch reaction vids anyway, unless they come from someone whose content I normally frequent. Which isn't a long list.

That said I quite liked Max's reaction, and I think that was the first video from him I ever watched. But it was both funny and genuine.

Yeah, I know. But when it comes to technical stuff or stuff for protecting your computer, my family knows next to nothing(well, my Dad is good with computers, but what he tried didn't work), hence why I got to bring it to my computer genius uncle. Honestly, I'm not even close to a computer expert.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I know how to redeem myself. By proving how the Sonic Boom comic writers are having too much fun

I know I'm a random dude on the internet, but...
I believe in you, you can do it.
All it takes is a little knowledge and a little effort. It's not all that complicated.

Go to "scan"

Restart your computer as prompted.
Then... patience is required. But, it'll blast everything good.

Max's reactions in general are rather chill (from the SFV ones I saw), Cloud was the first time I saw him get all excited in one of them.

The Sony E3 conference reaction was really good.

What Pushy said. I still think that is a unfair comparison, though. -w- Bad Anna. Bad. *glomps*

They are obviously posting some things for the views, but yeah, like you said, in the lack of news, they need SOMETHING to post, and people ARE pretty damn hyped about Zelda, haha.

 

[Zane13pyro]

1. 12% Waifu material.... So that means I'm 88% Husbando material I guess? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

3. Zane will die after his father runs him over with NAZI MAGIC. or using my real name will die after the villain burns him with NAZI MAGIC.

idk where the pokemon one is I die to Nazi magic

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Max's reactions in general are rather chill (from the SFV ones I saw), Cloud was the first time I saw him get all excited in one of them.

The only ones I can remember where he freaked out was the E3 Sony conference, Mega Man's reveal and Cloud's reveal... I think.

 

[Deleted member]

And the Killer Instinct 3 announcement trailer.

 

[N3ON]

I freak out when I have people watching with me because excitement is contagious. That doesn't happen much though.

If alone I think the only characters that would turn me into Etika would be Isaac and Banjo.

Well you could tell he was a true FF7 fan because he recognized the intro when everyone else was like "...Wolf?". I laughed at his bewildered "what the ****!?" when they flashed the Smash title though. xD

 

[Fenriraga]

Max's reactions in general are rather chill (from the SFV ones I saw), Cloud was the first time I saw him get all excited in one of them.

FF7 is Max's favorite game of all time, period. So yeah... he got taken off guard to say the least.
Said it once and I'll say it again, I've known Max long enough to help moderate his chat I can tell when the guy is acting or not. Obviously things need to be exaggerated a bit for the sake of entertainment, but if I ended up screaming at the top of my lungs about Cloud (and I did), it's really not that hard to see him flipping out like he did. FF7 means a lot to him.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I was watching some let's player play crappy flash games, and I realize I could probably make something like that.

More or less


You know you took a quality flash class when the teacher says "No one uses flash anymore so I'm going to cancel the final project and have you guys do something easy"

Best $500 I ever spent

 

[Shroob]

This game.... makes me feel dead inside.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Shin Megami Tensei must be friggin weird

 

[Shroob]

Shin Megami Tensei must be friggin weird

This is way more Persona than Shin Megami Tensei at this point.

 

[N3ON]

The reactions to #FE have neither been "yay" nor "nay" so much as they've just been "meh" from what I've seen.
It seems like the rare title that wouldn't generate much derision had it been a Japan exclusive.

Because dear god this game is more Japanese than a sumo and a geisha sitting on tatamis drinking ocha and eating sashimi while watching Godzilla during Golden Week.

 

[MasterofMonster]

Forgot if I mentioned, but I got a lot of good deals on games and Nintendo stuff for my collection. Including this thing.

Got it for... 1400 Swedish Kronor. I saved over 700 Kronor with the Black Friday deal. Still some money, but I figured, it's not like I'll ever get it cheaper, so, yeah. Finally has it~

New mystery mushroom costume for Mario Maker

OK this is becoming a running joke. I know that this is Mario's game, but we have so many variations of Mario now and Daisy is still MIA! Frog Mario would be better as an actual powerup....

I really don't like that

I wouldn't mind Frog Mario being only cosmetic so much...If you could have it in Mario 3

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

If I like the look of the gameplay, I'll buy #FE regardless of how "Japanese" the game might be.

And tbh, I do, so they got muh monaaayyyy.

If Banjo got in I'd strip down, run around town and scream "IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED, ALL HAIL SAKURAI" .

I loved TWEWY, Okami was great, and even Takamaru's little game was fun, but the intensity of this kind of Japanese aesthetic is just a bit much for me.

I don't watch anime either...

*** IMPORTANT QUESTION ****

How would you describe 's (Smash 4 design Marth's) hair? Besides blue, of course. Initially I wanted to say feathered, but that conjures images of long haired dudes from the 80s.

I remember this. I actually have this model of the 3DS. I even use it when I can. I still play Smash on there.

[FalKoopa]

This game.... makes me feel dead inside.

I think this won't appeal to a good number Japanese gamers at this point. Seriously, I think it would have made more fans if they made an anime and visual novel out of it.

Given the amount of effort they've put into it, it's a little saddening that the game seems already doomed commercially.

Yeah, RIP in peace. I was nervous about it from the beginning, but now am confident it'll be a flopperino.

Like, I hear absolutely no interest in this game anywhere. It just seems so... anime. The mechanics don't seem all that entertaining either, they didn't stick in my mind.
