Yeah, that’s what everyone said about Melee, until picking Zelda was just a means to play as Sheik for 100% of every match.

...that teaser was just a masterpiece. Looking fully like a standard Japanese RPG trailer riiiiiiight up until the twist, even doing the “overwrought narration as characters mouth silently to dialog” thing that you always see (...because, well, the trailer needs to be localized and that’s easier).

they’ve donated to countless charities over the past decade across the board. after GME they donated wells to africa and now over 947 water projects are being completed there because of it. Children are being flown around the globe so that they can have their heart surgery and cancer treatments covered by WSB…

It’s 2 things.

Maximum Carnage hits a nostalgia sweet spot for me though I think even if I try and set that aside I’d rate it a little higher.

I do note that the list is missing all the Game Boy games - none are standouts that really need to be discussed but the list is lacking. 

Maximum Carnage is too low, Spider-Man 2 is too high, Web of Shadows is just right.

Last I checked, our military budget is literally bigger than the military budgets of the next eleven highest spending countries COMBINED.

This just in: a crime isn’t a crime if the Other does something worse. Film at eleven.

Fuck the United States armed services. I get that the rank and file don’t want to answer for war crimes but these canned responses are disgusting, particularly in how they try to re-position those questions as attacks on them. Our army is massive and massively overfunded, they have no place playing the victim in that…

Actually, Heatran’s one of the more dangerous Legendaries in PvP. That and Therian Forme Landrous.

Remember when we thought this would be over by summer? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I’m sorry, the perp used a knife?

Yeah, I took Karate for 2 years in second and third grade, 82 and 83. We wore no protective gear, although we were not allowed to hit above the shoulders. I participated in one tournament between schools in the greater Houston area in the summer of 82, and won my age/belt group by continually using the Bruce Lee…

An estimated 33,000 Japanese Americans served in the U.S. military during World War II, of which 20,000 joined the Army. The 100th/442nd Infantry Regiment became the most decorated unit in U.S. military history.

maybe because i’m asian american but x in america is cancel as well, and o in american is connect to “on” as in close circuit. In america we cross things out with an x and select things by circling them.

Sony should leave Japan’s mappings the same and change the rest of the world. I’m real tired of confirm/cancel being opposite on Sony and Nintendo consoles

The expectations have gone through the roof every time too. This one’s going to make a lot of people happy, though I admittedly could not give less of a shit (I have never played Minecraft, myself).

I mean, as long as it’s competitively viable, I think we can make an exception.

Fun fact: The Pokemon that bites Slowpoke was not originally intended to be Shellder. It was once its own Pokemon but was cut for some reason, which explains why it looks nothing like Shellder.

The desaturation of color in Final Fantasy seems to correlate quite nicely with its lost sense of whimsy. I miss the days of IX.
