They're already using them for the mobile games and Tangle got flatout mentioned in Frontiers, JP version mentioning her too, so we just need the right setting.

And Sticks, who’s a part of the normal universe too apparently.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Well, there was one made by Bioware. Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Liked playing that game, though it wasn't well received to many despite new characters made for the story.

I mean, the issue with Chronicles wasn't necessarily cause of the Nocturians or whatever they were called, it was just a game with the Mario and Luigi problem but with 4 party members at once, weird sound design and awful music. I wonder how you could make a Sonic RPG work in general though, one idea I came up with is something like Atlus' Press Turn or One More systems to have your characters get more 'momentum' with extra turns or get in the groove of things with stat boosts or charging stuff like Limit Breaks

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

It's November

 

[Cutie Gwen]

And Sticks, who’s a part of the normal universe too apparently.

Yes but unlike Tangle, Whisper, Surge, etc, I do not like her or where she came from

 

[Dukefire]

It's November

Quick. Move it to a colder location until December is here.

 

[Jotadé]

Ya'll, this is getting out of hand

My boyfriend literally drew this for the two of us
Idk if I will be able to even afford back half of the stuff he has done for me today /gen /nm

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I gave Georgette a christmasy eyepatch

Special guest. Her brother

 

[TMNTSSB4]

can’t wait for the English dub for DB Daima (or DBD)

 

[Noipoi]

It's no Pirate's Scorn, but a decent shanty nonetheless.

Hold up, this is a banger

 

[Michael the Spikester]

YOOOOO!!!!

NEW GODZILLA FILM IS CONFIRMED TO BE HAPPENING!!!! YAMAZAKI THE DIRECTOR OF MINUS ONE IS DIRECTING!

No word whether it'll be a new individual film or sequel to Minus One. Betting the latter and what we know so far is he wants to "remake" Godzilla vs. Hedorah. Done right, Hedorah would be terrifying in modern perspectives. If anyone can do it right its definitely Yamazaki! :D

 

[SnakeFighter64]

They're already using them for the mobile games and Tangle got flatout mentioned in Frontiers, JP version mentioning her too, so we just need the right setting. If Iizuka gets to that Sonic RPG he wants to do at one point, that'd be a perfect opportunity

Have Izuka team up with Atlus and make the Sonic equivelent to Super Mario RPG. I would love this.

 

[Jondolio]

Highkey wanna make a One Piece beat em up. And I think I will as a side project.

It's require some extensive re reading of the source material but that's not a bad thing in my book

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Nintendo Music casually shadow dropping the Mario Wonder soundtrack is nice and all…but it’d sure be peak if they gave me the Kid Icarus Uprising soundtrack and then a remake and sequel and anime and then made Pit beyond op in the next Smash game

dreams that’ll never become reality

 

[Shroob]

Finally obtained Rank 10 in PLA.


So, what 'are' these Path of Solitude quests? Can I just get the Pokemon to high levels and blast 'em or what?

Well each battle is devoted to countering the one Pokémon. So grinding will definitely help, but a certain level of strategy is required too. Don’t wanna be caught off guard.

Next Fortnite season, return to the Island of Chapter 2. Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Spice, and Juice WRLD have taken over!

This season will last until November 30

That event kind of sucked, especially since mine didn't work, I didn't even get to see the screen

Juice WRLD

wow! that feels incredibly gross!

At least they are giving it out for free, but I don't know, adding a skin of someone who died tragically young feels incredibly skeevy

You didn’t miss much with the event, it was basically a concert.

As for the Juice WRLD thing, yeah that does feel gross.

His estate is really grimey with posthumous content and all. Sad to see

If I had a nickel for every time Winx Club got rebooted, I would have more money than Valmont at the start of JCA (still obsessed)

Oh heck yeah, I'm on board for this.

I'd love to see what a modern design for Hedorah would look like.

In other news, NBC now owns the broadcast rights to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman.

I hope the version of Rudolph they air isn’t as butchered as the most recent CBS versions.

You know how every artstyle has a name, what the hell would mine be called

How did they 'butcher' it? First I've heard of it.

 

[Guynamednelson]

They shortened various scenes so they could play more commercials.

 

[SneakyLink]

How did they 'butcher' it? First I've heard of it.

Most of the butchering was initially for ad space. But the worst part is what they did to the Misfit song. They took the song and spliced it over footage of Fame and Fortune (song that initially replaced the Misfit song). It isn’t good, especially since you can hear Rudolph’s nose but without the glow and voices that don’t match the mouths (because the footage is for a completely different song).

There are other changes (like audio glitching during Silver and Gold), but the Misfit song being cut up is the worst of it.

OK. I'll just watch it on streaming

 

[SneakyLink]

It also isn’t streaming anywhere due to funky contracts (it is a 1960s movie)

The closest thing to standard on broadcast is Freeform’s airing (there are some cuts, but it’s close enough to be not that noticeable), otherwise, home media is the safest bet.

Edit: Then again, some elements might be in public domain (because they messed up the copyright year), so it’s most likely everywhere.

looks like Peacock just gained some more content that isn’t WWE related

I don't recognize Fame and Fortune from when I was a kid.

I watched a Youtube Video about I Saw the TV Glow earlier and I've been a little shaken since.

Like I haven't even actually seen the movie and it's still messing with my psyche somehow. The mere plot summary freaks me out.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Was thinking about M.E.R.V. again, and I started picturing them forming a band once Demona comes into the fold.

Here's how I picture it:

Mok (Rock and Rule) - lead male vocalist
Emma Russell (Godzilla: King of the Monsters) - electric piano. Y'know, like Deedee in the Doodlebops
Riya (Disventure Camp) - lead female vocalist
Valmont (Jackie Chan Adventures) - guitar and additional vocals
Demona (Gargoyles) - DRUMS. DEMONA AS A DRUMMER WOULD BE SO UNBELIEVABLY PEAK

Bikini Bottom relentlessly bullied Spongebob because he had a loving grandmother.

This is why I love having DVDs.

Bikini Bottom relentlessly bullied Spongebob because he had a loving grandmother.

When I was young, my mother told me that they only made fun of him because they were jealous of how caring his grandmother was.

I think she was just trying to cheer me up and call out the characters for being complete jerks, but considering how jerkish most of the background characters became in later seasons, I'm going to roll with the theory that it's actually 100% accurate.

Bikini Bottom is full of haters

 

[Pink Yoshi]

That much has never changed. Anyone remember No Spongebob Day?

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Bikini Bottom is full of haters

I'm a defender of some of the post-movie seasons, but I can see why a lot of people don't like modern Spongebob.

Even if you ignore the flanderization of a lot of characters, or otherwise don't mind it, it's kinda hard to care about a lot of episodes when all of the background characters act like assholes at the drop of a hat.

That much has never changed. Anyone remember No Spongebob Day?

This title card actually creeped me out when I was younger.
