'Fess up, was it a member here?

"He's rescued his dumb brother who knows how many times from kidnappings, where Mario tends to focus on the ladies instead so he can get some lovin.' And I guarantee Luigi's the one who pays the restaurant bill (after he ordered just a salad) when Mario eats half the menu and forgets his wallet."

Because that's just a little sad...

Wasn't me. Though I do agree with the article! :)

That article was pretty hilarious, although they could have put a little more effort into the quotes thing (even if the majority of the featured people were indeed "not a talker").

They misspelled Lara Croft.
That was a joke.

Unlike other games with female characters, she is not objectified.


Someone hasn't seen her in Brawl yet have they?
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Isn't there a secret to see her in a bikini or something at the end of Metroid?

Yup, you have to speedrun to get it. Not only that, but there are similar situations with almost every other Metroid game.

Justin Bailey. You could play Samus in a leotard.

Oh, and depending on how fast you beat the game, you'll see Samus in a different attire. The bikini is on the fastest time.

Back on topic, this article is chuckle-worthy. And it's nice to see video games getting some light-hearted press for once.
In Soviet Russia, Pokemon chooses you!

Quote from: Nate Herrygers, of Shelby
Link has recovered the Master Sword, captured the Tri-Force, played the Ocarina of Time, used the Wind Waker to travel vast oceans, and transformed into a wolf to battle the Twilight. There is no other hero in the history of gaming that can boast such accomplishments.
Probably because the other heroes would get sued for copyright infringement.

Also, those were practically all completely different dudes named Link anyway. Sheesh, Nate Herrygers, get your facts straight!
