Not at the Dinner Table / Racism as comedy
« on: August 27, 2009, 01:19:31 AM »
Racism as comedy can take many forms, from just telling a racist joke to playing up stereotypes, and even pretending to hold racist beliefs. What are your views on it? Do you take part in comedic racism? Do you feel that people should be open-minded to the idea of comedic racism or do you feel that it's not an issue to be taken lightly?

I personally think comedic racism, while not always extremely offensive, is a form of lowbrow humor, and try not to indulge in it.

General Chat / Internet personification
« on: August 20, 2009, 11:42:20 PM »
I was browsing the internet as usual when I stumbled across this interesting picture.

I have to say, I find this picture quite impressive. The "characters" really look to have a lot of personality, and even their clothes somehow seem fitting to their internet counterparts. And why stop with just these seven; who knows how many websites would make for interesting personifications?

Also, that story sounds really interesting. I hope the artist posts it eventually.

Mario Chat / U R MR GAY

Subliminal message hidden in box art of Super Mario Galaxy?

If you look closely at the lettering, certain letters have small stars under them. those letters spell out the eponymous message.

Will this cause a mass recall like what happened in Europe with Mario Party 8? Only time will tell...

Mario Chat / Favorite non-final Paper Mario series boss (spoilers)
« on: October 13, 2007, 06:26:09 PM »
Who is your favorite boss between the three Paper Mario games? I had a hard time choosing between General Guy, Doopliss, and Grubba, but I chose Grubba because of the decietfulness and vanity of his character. I also like his southern accent.

Fan Creations / My TMK Mod Caricatures
« on: August 20, 2007, 06:55:14 PM »
I recently got in the hobby of drawing caricatures, so I figured I'd draw some of the mods (at least the ones who answer the mailbag).



I didn't feel like coloring it, but I might add color to it later.

Site Discussion / Text size change?
« on: July 27, 2007, 02:32:04 PM »
My old computer just fell on its side and doesn't work anymore, so I had to go back to using my older computer. The problem is, on this computer, the text on this website is so small, it's barely readable. Is there a way to change the size?

Game Help / Giga Bowser
« on: July 13, 2007, 10:42:02 PM »
This isn't really considered game help, I just wanted to know about him. I need to know the following things about him:

-His attacks
-The buttons used to do his attacks
-A good strategy for beating him

Also, is it required to have some sort of cheat device to play as him?

Site Discussion / How come the mods aren't at E3 this year?
« on: July 10, 2007, 09:18:51 AM »
I just noticed something: E3 started today and all the mods are still here. I thought you guys went to E3 every year. Did they not let you in or did you just forget the date?

General Chat / Favorite Insurance Salesguy/girl/animal/neanderthal
« on: April 14, 2007, 08:27:29 PM »
Who is your favorite insurance commercial character? I've always liked the Caveman commercials, but the Mercury commercials are kind of funny, too. I don't know if I'm missing anyone, though...

The White Mushroom House / Mario RPG Bonanza!
« on: March 27, 2007, 03:55:46 PM »
Hello, and welcome to this topic. I am selling three of the rare, and highly sought after Mario RPG titles. They're numbers are dwindling in stores, and here, you can get a whole bundle!

-Super Mario RPG
Condition: Works perfectly; n/box or instructions, comes with cartridge cover
Other notes: A highly rare and prized game, I'm sure most of you know. You probably won't find it in game stores, and EBay is too big a hassle.

-Paper Mario
Condition: Works perfectly; n/box or instructions
Other Notes: Since most GameStops and EBGames have stopped stocking N64 games, this game will join the ranks of SMRPG as one of the most difficult Mario games to obtain.

-Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Condition: Works perfectly; no scratches on disc; comes with case and instructions
Other Notes: One of the best games of all time and also one of the many highlights of the GameCube, this game is surely a Mario RPG fan favorite.

These are all the games I am offering. I am selling them at the convenient price of only $60! Three classic Mario games all in one package! I'll even throw in a FREE Game Boy Color, with batteries and battery cover! Easily an +$80 value for only $60! If you don't have 'em, it's a great collection starter! If you do, brag to your friends about how you have two copies! Order now!


Thanks for viewing this topic!

Site Discussion / Was the sight just updated again?
« on: February 23, 2007, 08:17:52 PM »
I tried getting into the forums five minutes ago and it said that the forum was being updated. Now that I'm on, it looks the same. What's changed, if anything?

Is it possible to get 100 coins in the levels like the Bowser or character unlocking levels of SM64DS?

Fan Creations / Lockjaw's Saga: a Pikmin Story
« on: February 18, 2007, 12:04:31 AM »
I did this story because Pikmin and Pikmin 2 are two of my favorite games. It's about a Bulborb trying to protect himself and his race against the once-docile, now-deadly Pikmin. I had this story planned out for quite some time. Enjoy!


Lockjaw's Saga: a Pikmin Story

   In the world of Pikmin, there are three roles in the food chain.
   The first role is the role of the predator. The ones built on stealth and strength. The predators are who help keep the delicate balance of the ecosystem in line by eating other creatures.
   There is then the prey; creatures smaller, weaker, and more vulnerable than the predator. These are the creatures who find ways to defend themselves and their families against predators. They are also constantly adapting to their environment.
   Then... there is the third entity. These are the creatures that are between predator and prey. These creatures eat neither other creatures nor plants. They are the creatures that have the power to ruin the balance of the entire ecosystem. They are creatures who have massive armies and are specifically trained in killing.
   They are called... the Pikmin.


   “Attention, everyone! Attention, everyone!” a loud, booming voice came echoing off of the walls in the cave.
   “It is time to divide into groups,” said the Emperor. He slowly paced around on a small, circular, elevated rock as he addressed his enormous crowd of Bulborbs, all looking on and hanging on to his every word.
   “As you all know,” The Emperor continued, “our simple way of life is coming to an end. The Pikmin have outnumbered and outranked us. They are led by a mysterious force that makes them virtually unstoppable. Our very reality lies in the brink of destruction.” The crowd of Bulborbs began to murmur amongst themselves as he continued. “We are in very trying times, so that is why we must stick together. Alone, we will easily perish, but together, we are strong.”
   He then turned to a row of Bulborbs standing side by side behind him. He began to assign each Bulborb a squadron and a location.
   “You are to take 10 Red Bulborbs and 10 Dwarf Red Bulborbs to the Forest of Hope,” he told a Red Bulborb. The Bulborb nodded as he continued down the row. 
   “You are to take 50 Dwarf Red Bulborbs into the Cavern of Chaos,” He then said to a Dwarf Red Bulborb as he kept walking.
   The tension was thick amongst both the crowd and the chosen squadron leaders. Assignment had lasted for about five minutes until there was only one unassigned Bulborb.
   The Giant Emperor Bulbax approached the last unassigned Bulborb, who was a Dwarf Orange Bulborb.
   “And finally,” he started, “you are to take 50 Dwarf Orange Bulborbs into the Dream Den,” He told the Bulborb.
   “Dream Den?” said the Bulborb. “Where--”
   “It is time to gather up your groups,” the Emperor said, ignoring the Bulborb’s question. “In about 30 minutes everyone is to retreat to their respective locations.”
   The next 30 minutes were a frenzy of pushing through crowds and getting into groups. Throughout all the pandemonium, the Dwarf Orange Bulborb pushed through the crowd to speak with the Emperor. He finally managed to get back to the rock before the Emperor retreated to his private chambers.
   “Excuse me, Your Majesty!” The Bulborb yelled out to the Emperor.
   “... Yes? Is there something you need ask of me?” asked the Emperor.
   The Bulborb waited until he caught his breath. “My name’s... Lockjaw...” he said, panting. “I was... one of... the Bulborbs you... chose to... lead the... squadron.”
   “Yes...” said the Emperor Bulbax.
   Lockjaw continued, having caught his breath. “Where is the Dream Den?”
   “Oh, is that all?” said the Emperor. “The Dream Den is right down that tunnel,” he said, motioning to one of the many tunnels that led to the underground chamber. “Just follow it straight to the end and when you emerge, you’ll be in the Wistful Wild. The Dream Den is on the other side of the pond there.”
   “Oh, okay, thanks, Your Majesty,” Lockjaw said. “I’ll just assemble my squadron now and be on my way,” he said as he began to walk off.
   “Think nothing of it,” said the Emperor.
