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

[Deleted member]

Speaking of waifus and commercials; does everyone remember how Esurance stopped using their mascot because of Rule 34?

Yep.... I always found that pretty funny, you would use to see her EVERYWHERE and then snap, gone, thanks to the fellow weirdos such as I on the internet.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Well I wanted to Nintendo x Sega x Capcom x Namco Platinum Games thing.
We have Wonder Red x Bayonetta x Dante (Viewtiful Joe?) x and ______.
Nothing for Namco.

 

[Chrono.]

No.
But you know who they have worked with?
- Nintendo
- Capcom
- Sega
- Konami
- Square Enix
? - Activision

Guys

We've found the true corrleation for Smash 3rd Parties.
We know the next character.

You forgot Microsoft.

Which means

[Luigi The President]

Is there something ambiguous about my wording and people don't really get what I mean? Well, I'm surprised. Positively so, I must say.

Well, all I did was state facts. There's not a single drop of subjectivity in what I've said.

After all, we went from this:



To this:



Isn't it true?

Oh you're right man sorry my dude

 

[Deleted member]

I'm a nerd, a lot
I play vidya games, watch anime and play vidya games that look like anime
I have husbandos, waifus and husbandos that look like waifus
I couldn't care less about sports and all that jazz
I don't wear glasses or braces and people say I'm good looking so I guess I'm not a walking stereotype
But I go on an online forum and weeb out about all this nerd stuff while having an anime-looking-video-game reaction pic to go with all of it

Copying me again, I see~. Or am I copying you without being aware? Either way, SAEM.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

How could we forget

for the curious: http://priceonomics.com/how-esurance-lost-its-mascot-to-the-internet/

I remember her. Loved those commercials growing up.Actually kinda sad that r34 killed her

 

[A Distant Demon]

Well, are you admitting to a crime on national television?

Of course not





We aren't on TV

 

[Champ Gold]

I....did not know this particular commercial existed.

Where has it been all my life?

It came out on Sonic's 20th anniversary

I read "Activision" and thought it was going to be Crash or Spyro until I saw that image.

 

[Burruni]

I read "Activision" and thought it was going to be Crash or Spyro until I saw that image.

That was part of the joke.
Not going with the obvious choices.
And honestly I'd argue Warcraft to be a far larger series to Crash and Spyro, especially considering it's kinda the spawn of the biggest MMO gaming has ever seen.

 

[Chandeelure]

This will be the most productive summer ever! (Yeah, it's summer for me).

Braces are ready

Now I have to:

Get an earring
Learn how to drive a car
Build more muscles
And ask the girl I like to be my girlfriend

I sorta want to get an earring (when I'm older though, my parents would never let me) and I'm a nerd. That's probably just my gender dysphoria talking.

Everybody has earrings in my country, specially teenagers like you, that's one of the reasons I want to have one XD
I hope you get it in the future.

 

[ChikoLad]

I like nerdy things but I wouldn't say I am a full on nerd.

Well I guess I'm a bit of a Rosalina nerd obviously, and maybe Sonic too, but that's about it.

Honestly the meaning of the word is so vague these days.

 

[Frostwraith]

I don't even try to hide from anyone that I like video games, manga and anime. I've configured my PC to have a slideshow of wallpapers. They're mainly from video games, anime and Star Wars. 59 total and that number will only increase.

Warcraft III, The Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem, Super Smash Bros., Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist, Owari no Seraph, Xenoblade, Pokémon, Noragami, Soul Eater, Death Note... Just some of the titles of which I have wallpapers of.

My screensaver is the official Zelda 25th Anniversary screensaver.

I also own a few manga volumes, including one based on The Legend of Zelda. As for video games, I've got plenty of them.

Anyone who personally knows me also knows about my interest into this stuff. And yes, I'm talking about real life here.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I'm a nerd when it comes to a lot of things. Gaming is far from an exception. One of the best examples I've got, actually.

 

[Rebellious Treecko]

...Welp, after several months, I'm having more tooth fillings tomorrow and going under general anesthesia. ...Give me strength.

[ChikoLad]

r8 me on deh nerd scale

There's actually a little more stuff now.

 

[kylexv]

That Mario Maker blind race at AGDQ was amazing. Reminded me of the Nintendo World Championship a little.

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

I'm a little late, but how could you mention video game or anime characters advertising products without mentioning this masterpiece

Ahem.

 

[PushDustIn]

hey remember that reddit leak @AreJay25 posted

View attachment 91055

Clearly a type of troll poster that our dear PushDustIn adores seeing, especially with such a reasonable topic.

It's almost like this was reasonably argued against just recently.

Information spreads.

Im not going to give people that don't use sources the time of day.

If you don't have a source you don't have proof: you have an opinion.

I think more and more people are realizing that.

Speaking of which.

People know ya enough to actually cite you when needed.

Bayonetta - The Umbran Witch
Corrin - Torn Between Two Dynasties/Destinies

Wolf - The Intergalactic Outlaw
Snake - Soldier of Fortune
Ice Climbers - The Insurmountable Duo
YL - (will think of one later)
Squirtle - (will think of one later)
Ivysaur - (will think of one later)

Mecha-Fiora - The Cyborg Warrior or

Spoiler: Xenoblade spoilers

Vessel of Meyneth

Elma - Builder of a Legacy After the Destruction of Earth, or Full Metal Jaguar I'm so original
Bandana Dee - (I'll think of one later)
Isaac - The Summoner of Earthquakes (oh wow that was terrible I'll make a better one later)

Plus Warcraft is getting a movie.
Crash and Spyro arent and are kinda dead.

Fun fact, Spyro almost did get a movie.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, FOLKS
KENITH APPROVED

THRALL FOR SMASH 5.

 

[ChikoLad]

While it is true, that poster is fan art IIRC.

I remember it being a real point of contention on a Spyro forum I'm on.

EDIT: Just looked it up and yeah the poster is fake.

Someone made it and sold it on eBay claiming it was real but later was exposed and released the digital artwork.

 

[Kenith]

I'd go for the Lich King myself, lol.
If I cant have Nightmare or Shovel Knight...can I have THIS blue-armored knight?

Even if nobody wants him? Including me?

 

[A Distant Demon]

May those poor souls rest in piece ;_;7

Singing peridot = 10/10
I need giddy peridot in gif form. It's a perfect reaction gif

That floating orb totally is not at all suspicious. . .

Also i hate cliffhangers sometimes

You know what? I wouldn't even be mad. That's the first time I've heard that, even in jest, and now I kinda want it.

I hear tomorrow's a two-parter, and they're playing both parts back-to-back. Oh boy...

Spoiler: Moar SU Spoilers

I'm very, very worried for Amethyst. I have a bad feeling something's going to happen to her and we're going to lose her for a while. If you want me to back up that claim, PM me.

Listen if I knew more than the very minimal that I do FOR Thrall as a character, I'd sure as hell make a moveset for him right now.

I mean... Warcraft is one of few Titan series left for gaming period. One of few that you can say "defines/defined a genre."

NEXT TO MASTER CHIEF, I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD TURN AS MANY HEADS AS FOR AN S-TIER 3RD PARTY CHOICE.

If it actually had any releases on Nintendo it'd have a stronger case.

 

[Radical Bones]

Bah, I'm really struggling to get into games at the moment and I don't know why. Last game I played was Yo Kai and since then I'm starting games and not going back to them.

I think I might go back to some of the early Wii U games and play through them again. I've played Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1 and 2 like a million times but 3D World only once, so maybe I'll replay that.

If not, it's been ages since I played a Zelda game so maybe Skyward Sword in preparation for TP HD.

So.
Fire Emblem Awakening is over 3 years old now. Nearing 4.
Are we clear to say major plot elements without a spoiler box?
Just one of those things I'm curious what's the general consensus.

Just wondering.
Got into a small conversation with someone... about an interesting theory.

Spoiler

The entire basis of Tharja's random infatuation with Robin for reasons that she never seems properly able to describe, even when it's F!Robin may be because of her being a bit of a zealot of Grima worship in her home country before turning traitor and having some sense about the truth of Robin's nature.

I thought Tharja and Henry and Gangrel weren't into that stuff.

 

[SuperMii3D]

Decided to buy Rocket League, it looks like fun. Just gotta wait for the download

 

[Swamp Sensei]

So...

Fast Racing Neo...

I had F-Zero GX but sold it because younger me thought it was too hard and Falcon was odd.

F-Zero X is fun but I can't do **** in it.

Original F-Zero is too hard for me to enjoy it.

Will I like Fast Racing Neo?

Probably.... not? idk.

FRN is far more difficult than F-Zero and it's not as memorable overall (plus less content for obvious reasons).
