I say "ock-uh-ray-nuh" and "dee-koo," but maybe that's just me. And I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "shee-kuh." At least, that's how the announcer in Smash Bros says it.

Agreed. I don't get why people are always whining about this, especially since I can count on one hand the number of games I've played with voice acting that isn't distractingly horrible.

Shmowzow!

Yeah, my situation was sort of similar. It's kind of weird that it works so well as an introductory anime considering how out there it is and how many references it makes to other shit that flew straight over my head the first time I watched (a lot of it still does now). I think that's ultimately a testament to the…

I'd be pretty shocked to find out it wasn't a major influence. I mean, come on, they even both have people using bass guitars as weapons!

No, it's a sandwich place.

I'm saaad that I'm flyyying.

You're not my fucking mother!

Between the end of last May and now, I've played Portal 2, L.A. Noire, Bastion, The Binding of Isaac, and the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection. Doesn't seem like much of a drought to me.

Just like the rest of the mainstream gaming press!

Plus you and all your friends could get free cappuccinos at the Smash Club.

Yeah, but I don't think I would appreciate constantly being called "short man."

The ending of "Hard Luck Women" and pretty much all of "The Real Folk Blues."

As another Jewish twin, not a day went by in middle school without me hearing some form of this joke.
