Yo, dude, you mentally choreograph fights in your head to music too?

Besides Heat Haze Shadow, I've also been using the Yakuza series soundtrack for that. I've thought up so many ideas for OCs and other stuff to those tracks, it ain't even funny.
I had a few OCs directly inspired by songs. In terms of my own series I’m working on, my go-to tracks for fights between my own characters are Nightwish instrumentals because the rockestral sound fits my modern magic setting perfectly.

One of my favorite things to do is just think of cool fight scenes while I listen to stuff like Hyrule Warriors music, lol

So I just managed to finish watching "Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins" and here are my thoughts:

Paramount's attempt to bolster the G.I. Joe franchise by retelling the story and origins of Snake Eyes that ended up in a rather flat, confusing and disappointing entry. I personally want to ask who is in charge of the messy and poor editing of the action sequences, the script, storytelling. In addition, there was lack of character development and despite having a talented cast of Henry Golding, Andrew Koji, Samara Weaving etc, they were not really able to do much to save this disaster from going to waste throughout the entire film.

Overall I do understand why Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins failed at the box office and after watching the film, I'm not too surprised on how this take ended up being a disappointment.

Rating: 3/10.

Ya all mind if I blast some Gator Gambol before Bed Time?

Gotta say, even if Smash Ultimate end on a wimper, I'm glad we been able to have all fun together before the last character is reveal.

May those days be remembered for many days to come!

Oh god what if the Direct drops before THE HEIST has concluded.
This is a Wednesday year, meaning the direct probably won’t air on September 2nd.

Meaning I have until the 8th, most likely.

Taking into account the remaining story beats I want to hit, I can probably make it in that time assuming there are no major setbacks.

There was a problem fetching the tweet
didn’t realize this was possible
I feel like useless additions don’t make a roster worse, just more cluttered. Even the worst characters have value to somebody. I think missing characters would be far more important.

The only characters in Mario Kart 7 not in Mario Kart 8 are Wiggler and Honey Queen, who are not exactly priority. I do think that since some good characters were added in Mario Kart 8 that were absent in Mario Kart 7 (most noticeably Waluigi, but also including Toadette), Mario Kart 8 wins this hands-down.

wait, I think I forgot to add the funny

Whatever happen, just make sure that your health come first, chum.

Wouldn't want you to get sick or otherwise just because Nintendo decided to drop a bombshell outta nowhere & you have to rush to get the comic done in time.

I'm starting to see people waifu Elise from Sonic 06 and for whatever reason that's just funny to me.

Like

The fact that there are people coming out of the woodwork recently with unironic love for 06 is fascinating to me. Like, nothing wrong with people liking a game, of course, it's just...It's just really funny to me. Internet opinions are literally just on a wheel and it cycles back and forth.

See the next guy who looks at me like I killed their firstborn and not move while I'm cycling despite HEARING the bell I'm gonna kick them. Old pompous ass with his miniature £300 Yorkshire Terrier taking over the cycle path today.

It's a cycle path! Are they blind to this sign?!

It's tough being a cyclist in Ireland. Everyone wants you dead it seems.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Also Noipoi Noipoi loved the most recent one but can't think of anything better to say than what I can.

-------------------------------

And to Lamperouge Lamperouge got the second Volume of Komi-san today. Wished I got To Your Eternity or A Certain Magical Index but happy none the less.

Edit: And To Your Eternity volume 12 and 13 as well.

So... the Sephiroth we see there is the same one at the end of Advent Children, going back in time or something for... reasons. However, given that the overall structure is similar to FF7, wouldn't that lean that there are 2 Sephirothn in the story? There's Advent Sephiroth, and them there's Northern Cave Sephiroth

YOOOOO!!!!

Final battle in Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms was epic.

I so was not expecting a kaiju fight to occur.

I just want them to actually try with Mario Kart's roster TBH.

The guest characters were the best additions, and that saddens me when Mario is a character goldmine that they just do not do anything with.

They could have at least had flippin' Nabbit, but nope, just Kooplalings and babies.


....

Does anyone even still like the babies? Why did they push that concept so much? I mean, I get it, asset flips, but like...

Why do that for the babies...?

THE HEIST returns, and it seems our heroes have gained the advantage in battle…

The first of many (at least 4) battles has been won! But all is not well. Metal walls now separate our heroes, and they must make it through Sora HQ in fractured groups. What will they do? Will they reunite? Find out next time!
I don't know why the name "Haruhi *****" is so funny to me but it damn sure is.

Fantastic stuff as always, my dude.

If we do get a third film which I think it will given there was a bit of sequel baiting that it'll be based around the events of Mortal Kombat 3.

I expect we'll probably see Nightwolf, Sindel, and Noob Saibot in that. Maybe Kabal as well.

I’m not sure what’s worse the weird ass baby versions of charachters or the forcible covering of beloved Nintendo charachters in various metals in some kind of sick goldfinger homage

Metal Mario was a cool 64 reference.

Apparently, they took people saying "Ha ha, I remember that!" to mean they should go the route of "ALL OUR CHARACTERS WILL NOW BE ENCASED IN METALS. YOU LIKE, YEEESSSSS?"

I legit have no explanation for the babies. I think Nintendo knows people liked Yoshi's Island, but got confused why and took a wild guess.

A wrong guess, but a guess.

I, too, like for my waifus to look like aliens and do absolutely nothing useful.

Man though Kung Lao just can't catch a break can he?

MK9: Gets neck snapped by Shao Kahn
MK11: Thrown into the Sea of Blood
MK11 Aftermatch: Neck snapped again
MK (2021): Soul devoured by Shang Tsung
MK Legends BotR: Torn in half by Shao Kahn

He's pretty much the Krillin/Yamcha of Mortal Kombat at this point. That or Kenny from South Park.

Metal Mario was actually super popular in online MK7 due to having all the advantages of other heavies plus a smaller hitbox, so that's what prompted Nintendo to think we needed Pink Gold Peach.

I think 90% of this love comes from fan renditions of her.

Which, granted, many have fixed her design.

I understand those two, especially since they're Mario Kart veterans.

But the baby Princesses will never not confuse me.

Oh, yeah, and Cat Mario and Cat Peach.

Those two were just.

Why.

Who wanted this?

Lamperouge Lamperouge not recognising a weeb post by me?

Right. Starting the divorce then.

I legit have no explanation for the babies. I think Nintendo knows people liked Yoshi's Island, but got confused why and took a wild guess.

Replace Yoshi's Island with Partners in Time and you have me on that front.

Not saying I'm a big fan of the babies but I always thought Baby Mario/Baby Luigi in Smash as a duo with a moveset inspired by that game/plus Ice Climber influence would be great.
