^ Okay, I think I added the months part because I figured it probably was tied into the whole thing, but the point is, 12 was THE number for some time.

I'm not sure how much there'll be to say, now that they'll have their lips sealed, but I suppose some SPM impressions couldn't hurt.

Dead Rising's premise is awesome. Just so long as there's a Hoffritz, I'm set.

At my school, there is a room of some kind with a door saying "13". It has no windows and is empty, save for a chair that's been there forever, and a black stain on the ceiling. The room is locked and no one has the key (not even the janitor); when the principal picked the lock (which is a cool thing for a principal to know how to do) and went inside, he noticed that the stain was larger than before. Weird.

Ever read Locker 13? Kinda kid's stuff, I know, but this just reminded me of that.

13 has always been said to be the unlucky number.

Culturally, it varies, but I think one popular belief is that it's a "disruption" of the "natural cycle" (12 months, 12 hours of day and night).

the practice of giving every DS game a second title that started with D and S got kind of annoying after a while.

Oh, lord, I hear ya. How much longer do you think it'll be until companies stop thinking that's cute or funny enough to keep doing? Just another reason not to put numbers or acronyms in your system's title (well, N64 had a few "64" games, but it's gone into downright overkill on the DS).

It's the chicken and the egg, really: Do they get the plots to work with the name, vice-versa, or do they just give 'em inaccurate/wildly unoriginal (Yoshi's Island DS? Genius!) titles under said self-imposed restraints? Man, who cares, just make a DS game I'll wanna play, for once.

Almost everything involving Booster in SMRPG was amusing. I find it weird how he didn't know how to eat a cake yet he knew perfectly well that you're supposed to tie your cord before bungee jumping.

"Your eyes are watering... are you leaking, my dear? ......It's salty!" ...Or something along those lines.

Mario Chat / Re: Does SMRPG fit within the Mario canon (if there is one)?

« on: March 07, 2007, 08:07:18 AM »

Well, as long as Nintendo had SOMETHING to do with it, I'd say it's canonical. Back when that game was made, it's not like a lot of Mario's world was set in stone, seeing as there had only been platformers.

And how would Princess Peach rule under any circumstances, anyway? She's a princess!

If it's funny, it came from a Mario RPG. Gaming dialouge has never been finer!

Really, though, I haven't sat down and thought about it, but it's probably either when Toad accidentally walks in on Mario in the shower (ML:SS) or when Toad said he can't fight Bowyer "because I left my bazooka at home, SHEESH!" (SMRPG)
