This give me some "Batman looked for his parents, but they were still dead" vibe.
I guess it’s a Batman tradition to look for dead parents and to not do what heroes aren’t allowed to do

I got Rise of the Triad on Steam, pretty fun game. But, the only way to truly experience the game is on Hard or higher.

I used to ooze caffeine since soda was my religion for the longest time but I've cut back on it significantly over the past couple of years. Now I'm mostly drinking water with my only caffeine fix coming from my morning cup of coffee. The withdrawal is ****ing real at first but it shouldn't take that long to overcome it if you're persistent like I was.

You've got this, mate.

Yeah, I'm trying to cut back, look after myself a bit better. Just trying to go back to having a can of Monster only on "nerd occasion" like a new game release instead of downing like three of them a day.

Feeling a bit alright now.

Also, loving the new sign pic. I should add one to mine again.

Yo, Foreman Spike is gonna be in the new Mario movie.

This tells me it’s probably gonna start in Brooklyn, until the Mario Bros are transported to the Mushroom Kingdom where they then have to save the Princess. So I guess it’s an origin story.

Knowing Illumination, it's gotta end with a dance sequence and one of the characters has to twerk or show their ass.
My bets are that Mario's gonna accidentally spike the Foreman in the nuts and Mario'll get fired, resulting in the start of the wacky adventure after Bowser kidnaps Peach and no one but Mario can save her.

Remember how SpongeBob: Breature from the Krusty Karb was pushed by Nintendo as a Wii Launch Title and got a spotlight in that years E3 (where we got that amazing typo)? Imagine if, because of that, Nintendo forced Sakurai to go against his own rules and SpongeBob got into Brawl.

Nintendo couldn't force Sakurai to do anything because he was already a freelancer by then.

They still published the game, so they had the final say about everything.
Sakurai previously stated that he could turn characters down because of gameplay reasons so there's no real reason he can't do the same.

I guess he can be contractually obliged to add any character Nintendo wants but I can't see them having such strict requirements when they were OK with porting Melee to Wii if Sakurai didn't want to work on a new game. They obviously respect his autonomy as a director.

Nintendo: You put SpongeBob in the game or you don't get to make it.
Sakurai: OK. Fine. I hate sequels anyway and the fans will love your rushed HD port of melee with online. Peace.

Yeah. That's probably how it would have gone.

I either never read that interview or forgot about it. I guess it makes sense.
Still, they definitely have some say in regards to the roster. I specifically remember him saying Nintendo picked the DLC characters.

Yeah. And this honestly makes me question the whole "nintendo picked the characters" thing.
