The 3D Zeldas are generally the ones I like better. I can't relate to you people.

That's Dick Dastardly, not Snidely Whiplash.

You mean your statement that is 100% false?

Except it does have discernible presence. Take for instance the GPS satellites which have to have their clocks reset every so often because time runs a tiny bit faster out in the microgravity above Earth, and if they didn't reset their clocks then their map projections would become inaccurate and stuff.

Yeah but DKJB never claimed to be a DKC game so why do you keep comparing them

Don't give me crap about hitting the bongos too hard, because last I checked, drums were meant to be beaten.

yeah because they're totally real drums and even make drum sounds when you hit them in real life right?? omg wrong

Yeah, I like TBtB&tM okay too. Actually I like some of the songs on there a lot. But I like some songs on the first two a lot too even though they weren't playing (or even sometimes singing) on those. Headquarters at least is all just them.

Wiggles
Gas stations and drug stores sell video games where you live? That is totally amazing news to me.
I mean, they might sell Wii shovelware here, but that's the max.

Jungle Beat was a platformer. It was fun and cool. It just had bongos so none of you weirdos ever tried to figure out how to play it. Glitchy, if you're referring to Returns and not Jungle Beat, how do you figure it's not mostly similar?

1. The Monkees is a hilarious show
2. The 3rd and 4th Monkees albums are pretty good actually

I do have to go to GameStop when nowhere else around has the obscure games I'm looking for.

Black Mage: Maybe my store is just weird, I don't know. When I went there for a day 1 copy of Fragile Dreams they had just gotten the shipment unpacked and already had opened game boxes on the shelf. Mine has a light scratch on the front cover from them opening it and I was kind of annoyed by this.

We had a big debate about this when we decided to cover DK games on the site. For whatever reason, we decided that DK games were a subset of Mario.

Chef is really confusing me though. Is it that hard to accept that someone other than Rare made a good game starring Donkey Kong?

Maybe they don't unwrap DS games? All the disc games at least are unwrapped at my local GameStop.

GameStop hasn't sold "new" sealed copies of games in a long time. Everything "new" there now is pre-unwrapped.
