I was directly responding to Turtlekid1 reply #7921. I'm sorry I refused to taint my post with the execrable quote function to make that clear, such as you did to my immediately preceding post there.

Watchmen did not inaugurate dystopian fiction. Brave New World came out in 1931. Fritz Lang's Metropolis was 1927. Something called Rasselas apparently came out in 1759.

Someday I'll go back and restart and beat this great game.

Today was the day. Here we go again. May the Bionis have mercy on my soul.

Here's a question: why does everyone in the world disappear when you talk to someone? I can think of neither a good technological or artistic reason.

The reason struck me right after restarting. When you talk to someone it freezes time. So instead of having everyone else walking around turn into statues while you talk (Zelda-style), they just disappear them.

A casualty of the recent update that improves loadtimes is the Nintendo Land loading music. I never get to hear my favorite part anymore!

Calling someone on Wii U Chat is a seriously surreal experience. You sit there staring into your own face while listening to insane carnival music and praying the party you're calling notices the subtle flashing of their GamePad's home button light. They probably won't. They're probably not even using a GamePad.

The music plays on.

Hexes and a biplane. Is this a turn-based Sonic wargame?

As much of a facepalm as this image is, rereading the n00bs on the first page of this thread was just as bad.

Why did I read that in the voice of a shell-shocked, unshaven man hunched over a bar.

"Back then they ran a twisted game in those parts, a game called 'Defuse or Lose'. I didn't defuse."

Since the 3DS isn't hacked yet, part of me thinks this will be a great time for playing Pokémon without the ever-present crippling thoughts about all the hacked and cheated Pokémon other people are using.

Until the smarter part of me remembers all the hacked and cheated Pokémon that will be transferred into the game from prior generations.

God I hate Pokémon.
