He's either an elaborate troll or his brain is broken beyond belief.

I'm sure people said the same thing about Christian Weston Chandler.

Mario Chat / Re: Re-written story elements

« on: January 13, 2015, 10:03:30 PM »

Mario has been around a while and has developed a bit of a reputation for not having a consistent story. Nintendo just sort of re-writes certain concepts whenever they see it. So I decided to make a list of all the things that were once considered "true" but have been erased or changed in some way.

1. Mario's occupation
- Originally stated to be a carpenter in Donkey Kong.
- Then stated to be a plumber in Mario Bros.
- Not stated to be anything in any of the platformers, starting with Super Mario Bros.
- Taken on various other jobs depending on the nature of the game in question (Mario's Cement Factory, Wrecking Crew, Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Cookie, Mario's Picross, Mario Paint, etc.)
- Clearly depicted as a plumber in the DiC cartoons and movie, but that was likely an attempt by NoA to "Americanize" Mario and make him easier to relate to.
- A scant few recent games and localized material have made occasional plumber jokes, such as Superstar Saga.
- Currently Nintendo officially does not consider Mario to be a plumber and avoids using the term.

Don't he and Luigi fix a pipe at the beginning of 3D World? I interpreted that as a reference to the Mario Bros. being plumbers.

I remember reading the one where LD got fired. And sending in some really dumb emails. The first one tagged "Austin" here is me.

Good times...

Why don't we just combine the "Winter 2013", "Winter 2014", and "Winter 2015" awards into one big awards show?

I should've listened instead of just reading the whole thing. I'm nauseous now.

Not at the Dinner Table / IT'S OFFICIAL: TERRORISM WORKS!

« on: December 17, 2014, 06:55:48 PM »

You might've heard about the comedy film The Interview, that movie about assassinating Kim Jong-un that probably had a lot of laughs at the North Korean government's expense. Welp, after some threats to carry out terrorist attacks on movie theaters that were planning to show the movie, many big cinema chains backed out of showing it, and thus, Sony more or less had no choice but to cancel the premiere.

Would the movie even been worth watching? I don't know. In fact, there's a pretty high possibility that it sucks. But I do know that a group known as TOTALLY NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE NORTH KOREAN GOVERNMENT, GUYS! the "Guardians of Peace" hacked Sony and demanded that they pull the plug on "the movie of terrorism", then they warned of attacks on movie theaters showing it (as well as the premiere in New York), telling people to "remember the 11th of September 2001", and now the movie's more or less dead. 44 million bucks down the drain.

Terrorism works!

Although...it is a comedy movie about killing a real person. Many would argue the movie's in bad taste, and they may be right, but I personally see no reason to give a [dukar] about Kim Jong-un's feelings. Does he give a [dukar] about the insane human rights violations his government's continuing to commit upon their own people on a daily basis? At least we got to see Team America: World Police with no problems.

I legitimately think Sunshine Bowser would be an awesome voice...provided they keep Bowser's more comical characterization from the RPGs.

Bowser would fall very far to his death at the climax and Yoshi would be the wacky comic relief
