Been playing the European version that’s been out a while - this is a great read. :D

Their Mario model is way too big in most of these scenarios. He’s got to be about 2m (6’6”~ish) and he’s supposed to be the short brother.

That’s a good point. For one thing, if you tried to use it as a pot at that point, your ingredients would incinerate / fall straight through! That’s not potlike at all!

If you boiled a pot into molten metal in space, would it retain its shape, since it doesn’t have any gravity to turn it into a puddle, or would the shape change anyway due to fluid dynamics?

Thank you for extracting this gif of George Osborne getting punched. I think I might set it as my desktop image, if I can. I could watch this for hours.

No no, they want their games consoles. They just don’t want new ones.

I really like the “exercise at the end of morning-TV children’s shows” thing they do. They do it for Super Sentai and stuff as well.

Burger Red, Burger Blue, Burger Green, Burger Yellow, Burger Gold, Burger Silver, Burger Crystal, Burger Ruby, Burger Sapphire, Burger Emerald, Burger Diamond, Burger Pearl, Burger Platinum, Burger Black, and Burger White...

I’m the opposite way around. The red one seems completely “do not eat! warning! danger!”, whereas the black one looks like food.
