After watching Shrek again yesterday in honor of its 20th anniversary, I've forgotten how good of a song All-Star is.

Also I'm just picturing it as the opening of Godzilla vs. Kong because Kong's morning routine was basically that of Shrek. xD

Probably no coincidence as Terry Rossio was the writer of both.

Somewhere out there on this big blue marble
A creepypasta I made up in 5 seconds:
I got SMB at a garage sale. I started the game. It started normal, and then world 1-2 was different. It was hyperrealistic bloody and gory. My NES was smoking and seeping blood. Suddenly Luigi appears, but he was muted in color and had red eyes pouring blood. And then he killed Mario. He turns to the screen, and says "HAIL SATAN, 666 YOU'RE NEXT". I screamed. Tried to reset my NES, but it exploded. Then Luigi got to the screen and I had a seizure and died.

The end.
0 out of 10 the blood wasn't hyper realistic

Replace the blood with slime and this is basically the start to an episode of The Real Ghostbusters.

I'm not much of a horror fan (I've watched a few horror movies (mostly ones made before I was born), but I've only seen one horror movie in theaters), but I'd suggest something older (like Halloween (the 1978 one) or Alien (the 1979 Ridley Scott movie)) or something that blends horror and comedy (like Shaun of the Dead). Watching it in the afternoon, or in a well-lit room, probably helps.

I just found out that Toei's been working on another Dragon Ball Super movie after the Broly one, and that it might get announced tomorrow. I have no idea how I missed this!

A message from Toriyama mentions "an unexpected character" showing up - not sure if this is going to be another situation where a previously-non-canon character gets made part of the canon (Cooler? Android 21?) or if this is something else. My guess would be Cooler; the Broly movie had Gogeta telling Freeza about fusion, and I figure that's going to have some kind of pay-off at some point. (a fusion between Freeza and Cooler?)

Yup

That final bonus boss is as bull**** as they say, and therefore, I won't feel bad for using cheese tactic where I can.

'cuz if the game show me no mercy, I won't show any either.

I’m currently on my 30-minute break over here at Holiday World, and honestly, it’s been easier than I thought.

I mean, there was one incident where someone puked on the ride I was operating on... that wasn’t really fun to deal with, having to call management and tell a full line of people that they had to leave. But that’s just par for the course I guess.

i'll check those out! i was actually planning to watch the halloween series, but ive heard that a lot of the later movies in the series are pretty bad and not worth watching. do you have any opinion on that?

Why would you punch a Shinx?

It’s just a lil baby.
Why do you punch anything in a video game?
Snake wanting to abuse Pokemon like an angry grandmother who's sick and tired of hearing the tapping sounds from the living room keyboard.
You darn kids get offa my property!
Maybe Pokemon should use button shortcuts as Persona 5 did.

It already uses one of the most limited selection of options I've ever seen in an RPG, it shouldn't be that hard.
More like a P5S style spinoff

I'm still going slow through MH, but I'm starting to make real progress. There's still some little things I'm trying to get out of the new mechanics so I'm not jumping into online just yet, but once I get that I'll start hopping in and messing around with everyone.

Man I want another Pokémon game with an active battle system. Pokkén 2, a Warriors spinoff, SOMETHING.
I'm honestly surprised they haven't done much with Pokken. DX sold over a million outside of Japan so it did well for a Pokemon spinoff, but outside of the two DLC character packs they've just sat on it and did nothing else. Considering there's still many Pokemon they could add and there's room to refine its gameplay it's so strange that it's been left in limbo for this long, but hopefully with both Mystery Dungeon and Snap coming back that just means it's waiting in the wings.

According to my tracking the copy of Medabots i ordered should be at my mailbox right now, it says the mailman already dropped it off, but i can see my mailbox from my room and the mailman never drove by.

...That is cause for concern.

Could they be adapting the Moro arc?

If they made a sequel stage to Pokefloats in Ultimate, what would be some Pokémon balloons they could use? A few ideas I had in mind are

-Torterra
-Avalugg
-Emolga
-Mr. Mime
-Lugia
-Tyranitar
-Dragupult
Stunfisk, gotta give competitive players another stage they'll ignore for Town & City.

@Bakugan2556 so I forgot to mention yesterday, but RNGesus blessed me when I started hardmode yesterday because the traveling merchant came to town the shortly after and sold Captian America's shield, which is kinda broken but eh.

However, I guess to atone for that, an event now is happening every ****ing day and the mechanical bosses keep spawining 24/7 and I can't beat them💀💀💀

Spent hours trying to recruit this stupid Espeon in PMD to no success. At this point I'm just wasting my time: The strong foes just hit too hard and have too little a recruit rate without the friend bow to make any attempts worth it. I'm just gonna go progress the post-game and come back to this later, lol.

WAIT WAIT WAIT

I just realized, I have a waaaaay better ecruitment option right now for the team I wanna build in this.

See, I wanna run Delcatty and Mawile, but my dumb 'ol self chose Chikorita as Skitty's partner in the beginning because...Well, honestly I like Chikorita and I didn't know Mawile was in the game, so I wasn't anticipating having two team mates with a weakness to fire, lol. My best bet for this team is to go grab Milotic: Pure Water typing, gets Light Screen, it'll work out pretty well.

Avalugg is ideal for the omega version of the stage.

I’d also suggest Wailord. A big ass balloon that takes up most of the screen as a goof.

So I finished Sonic Unleashed...

The game isn’t BAD. But there’s so MUCH DOWNTIME. The day levels? Awesome great, I would play a whole game of those. Which I have. Sorta. It’s called Colors. You can make it through daytime levels in less than 10 minutes usually and they’re infinitely satisfying and replayable. But the ****ing Werehog levels on average last 30-40 minutes. And they’re boring. Again, not bad, just boring. There’s some upgrades here and some light platforming that breaks up the obnoxiously button marshy combat but wow I hate these levels. It KINDA carries over into the hubs but the hubs are actually played as Sonic so I can pass them as being the obvious midpoint between Daytime and Nightime levels and it’s just OK.

As much as people prop up Unleashed as one of the best in the franchise I am woefully disappointed. I’ll replay the game... but only the daytime levels. Which apparently there’s a mod for Generations PC out there that recreates all the day levels for that game at 60FPS which is super nice.

But yeah I didn’t hate Unleashed and am looking forward to replaying the day levels in that mod once I get my PC going but the product as a whole just isn’t that great and I don’t know why people say this is the best in the franchise. I am shocked by that sentiment.
