I dunno I think "I really want to bang this woman but oh no if I orgasm I'll kill her with bullets" sounds almost credible. it's like, something monokuma would do if he were in hentai

boy I did NOT guess "dick turns into a gun and shoots bullets" would outrank "futanari"

Right, that's the weird thing? Eve is still somehow a real cat.

Ugh, I'm not gonna mince words. I hate LvW's plot. Everything else about the game is good! It's surprisingly not even the worst Ace Attorney game imo. But man, I just don't like Layton plots.

15 years is a hell of a long cycle of not being good

that's almost as long as the Simpsons not being good

I mean, SNL is absolutely shit, yeah

what am I missing? insinuating someone is gay to bother them is not a joke. its trolling. and unless they are literally in the audience, to everyone else it just seems like its funny cause dudes kissed.

for starters, trump literally is in the audience - he watches fucking everything that people say about him

but I seriously don't get what you're not getting here - it's about poking fun at trump and putin's close relationship by implying that there's something romantic between the two. Yeah, it's pretty lame joke material, but the context of it makes perfect sense.

I think the idea that Trump being gay for Putin doesn't make any sense is really telling about how easy it is to just describe actual, real stuff Trump does as if it was a joke. Like, normally you have to exaggerate or make up stuff to tell a joke - but not this time

Unknown_voter posted...

I mean, those jokes would also suck...but at least they would make a semblance of sense, given that Trump does actually like women, so it wouldn't seem like "lol gay" so much as commentary.

...thatsthejoke.jpg?

the fact that trump isn't gay is a critical component of the joke

it's not that funny, but you're totally missing the reason why it's not funny

SNL not being funny isn't news to anyone

I absolutely support it though only because I know it actually gets under Trump's skin

Also, I'm replaying this at the exact same time as you, so I just beat L-2. I have to say, I moved L-1 and L-2 both up my rankings a fair bit after this. The murder mysteries are fairly shallow in both cases, but they make up for it big time in writing, characters, theatrics, music - the whole she-bang. Aside from Phoenix's weird character model, the presentation in this game is absolutely superb and I find myself appreciating all the little touches a lot more on replay, even if the main plot makes me groan.

L-2 in particular only has like 6 pieces of evidence plus two spells in the Grand Grimoire, which is damn close to the fewest pieces of evidence in any case (pretty sure 1-1 has fewer... but that might be it. Even L-1 has more), but the witnesses, despite being one-note Layton caricatures, are a hell of a lot of fun, Barnham is a really cool opponent (his actually-fair-and-just prosecutor schtick works surprisingly well), the whole atmosphere of making it like an angry mob actually is executed better than in AA6 where it's more weirdly out of place, the music is really fantastic, and L-2's murder mystery isn't actually that bad - I'm a big fan of cases where you have something really good at the end to corner the murderer, and the glasses in the milk bucket, while obnoxiously coincidental, is a really strong nail in the coffin.

The weirdest part of LvW is, after they say 'oh we saw the cat go over there' and then you go over there and Darklaw is just randomly hanging out, I was like, "oh god, she's obviously the cat. Are they really making it that obvious? She's a witch and she turns into a cat. So obvious." You then continue to never see Darklaw or the cat in the same place at once, so I was like, theory confirmed.

But then she's not the cat. I mean based on how magic works in this world it would have been impossible anyway, but they like just suddenly have the cat and Darklaw in the same place and never acknowledge that they were so obviously leading me on. But then she does have the same name as the cat! It's so fucking bizarre that I can't tell if they were trying to hint at something or not.

I think this makes some reasonable points but it's also fucking hysterical that he's slamming the Daily Show for making fun of a democrat too much, when them being liberal shills is basically always the knock against them. Now who's being held to too high a standard?

Understanding any language would be an incredibly convenient and practical ability on a day-to-day basis

Speaking any language but only understanding one would only be useful if I was like, giving speeches

The fact that we consume media every day makes this a really easy choice

2002 and 1994

gop is pog backwards

Kirby's Dream Land 3

Maybe the most charming looking game ever

Also stodgy old white guys complain about Bryce Harper enough to balance things out

The black-white comparison thing happens a lot more nowadays.

boy this sure is a great way for an old game to make a flurry of sales at the very end of its lifespan though.

The almost a decade he spent as a Red is basically forgotten to me now

hell I remember his lone stint with the White Sox better just because it looked like he might have an outside shot at playing in the WS

2007 and 1996

Too intimidating to race with actual racers so meh to that.

Yeah, unfortunately I am an actual racer so

I wanted to vote for the entire prologue by the way but I dunno if that would have been allowed so I just stuck with work song

Wait, people complain about ICHIRO? Why, is it because he's a baseball playing machine who doesn't seem to care about anything else?

people think he's aloof

no, this has nothing to do with anything

Thank you for this

Games disappearing forever is one of my least favorite things - the preservation of creative works is extremely important to me, and the fact that a game can be pulled over a music license seems like incredible bullshit

Anyway I was too young in the 90's to really know the whole conversation about him (he left Seattle just before I became old enough to tune into that kind of stuff), all I knew is that he was great and everyone loved him. It's worth noting that Griffey didn't have a clean break with Seattle in 2010 after he came back and played with the Mariners for one and a half years - he was beloved in 2009 but in 2010 there was a really weird story where he like, fell asleep in the clubhouse during a game, and then one day he just left without telling anyone, it was bizarre. Other than that though I've never heard anyone complain about his behavior in the past much - and it's not just because he's a big star here, people still complain about Ichiro's personality which drives me nuts.

1994:

"I shouldn't say this publicly," Showalter was quoted as saying in the magazine story, "but a guy like Ken Griffey Jr., the game's boring to him. He comes on the field, and his hat's on backward, and his shirttail's hanging out."

He also made pointed comments about San Francisco's Barry Bonds, saying that at last year's All-Star Game Bonds failed to tuck in his shirt until game time.

"To me, that's a lack of respect for the game," Showalter said.

I mean, you know what it is. Same shit, every era.

It must be exhausting to be a liberal SJW

It is, thank you for noticing

Work Song

"Do you LIKE evidence, Sir Defender? Do you LOVE proof, Sir Top Hat?" gets me every time

It annoys me how she says "Ha! You can't prove it!" though

Okay I assume you didn't mean that gays/lesbians don't identify with their gender

although you said girls also so that would be weird

any other people who doesn't identify themselves as the gender they were born with

hoo boy

wow

um

I don't recall ever calling for Comey to be fired, even though I'm mad at him

Being mad at someone doesn't necessarily mean wanting them fired, something that Trump does not understand

Be on the lookout Beltway B8ers

holy shit

everyone needs to start doing this

It's a masterstroke because it's self-aware but it's also like "hey, wouldn't it be cool to give the lesser-known cola a try"

I like how now everyone's buying RC cola just out of respect for their social media aptitude

(although of course lots of people will say that porn is immoral but still watch it)

It being immoral and naughty is what makes it so hot though. Why would you ruin porn by making it okay?

Fair point

Gay porn is even more exciting

Only 36% of people think pornography is ok?

what the fuck is wrong with people?

(although of course lots of people will say that porn is immoral but still watch it)

There is no such thing as something "really REALLY impeachable". There is only what the House will vote to impeach on.

Do you actually not know what I meant or are you assuming that I don't understand how impeachment works, despite this same issue being explained on the previous page?

My point is that lying about a blowjob isn't going to cause riots in the street, but lying about appointing a cabinet based on Putin's suggestions (to use what is, hopefully, a ridiculous example) might.

Oh we're well past the point of that example being "ridiculous"

I don't really "hate" Espella, she's just boring and I have little interest in LvW's overarching plot

Okay, yeah, I guess that's true with L-3

LeonhartFour posted...

Yeah, that's true. Even in L-4 when Layton comes back toward the end, Luke is off somewhere doing his thing.

although gold statue Layton is in L-3 which is close enough I say

In neither of those cases are the Phoenix duo and the Layton duo on the same 'side', though

well, in L-4 they basically are working together but they're still on opposite sides of the court... for some reason

1987 and 2001

no wonder trump thinks premiums are too high

It's funny that L-2 is the only case in the game where Phoenix/Maya/Layton/Luke are all together.

of course he's not thin, he wants to be yuge

the ice cream thing is super crazy. check this out

The waiters know well Trump’s personal preferences. As he settles down, they bring him a Diet Coke, while the rest of us are served water, with the Vice President sitting at one end of the table. With the salad course, Trump is served what appears to be Thousand Island dressing instead of the creamy vinaigrette for his guests. When the chicken arrives, he is the only one given an extra dish of sauce. At the dessert course, he gets two scoops of vanilla ice cream with his chocolate cream pie, instead of the single scoop for everyone else. The tastes of Pence are also tended to. Instead of the pie, he gets a fruit plate.

This is the most r/nottheonion thing I have ever read in my life, the fruit plate at the end really seals it

Yeah, if history only tracks back to 2008 then I know that the Valve bundle with HL and TFC and all that other stuff was my first purchase. I still have stuff like Ricochet in my library. Does anybody remember Ricochet. it's actually cool
