not sure if I'm gonna hold my spotlights for next week or the week after. I think I want Iron Lad more than HE, and Echo seems more useful than Legion, but getting HE is certainly tempting. I've been saving up gold so I can get this big BP bundle, maybe I'll just buy HE with tokens.

There was also a game blatantly inspired by CD-i Zelda, including getting Link and Zelda VA from those games

Dah well. I did get real lucky with Galactus a good while back, that was good enough for me

Is Snowguard still series 5? Just got lucky and opened her while going through the non-spotlight caches before I updated

only exception to "if possible" currently seems to be if Goose is present at her location, if you only have 4+ cost cards you just can't play anywhere. Devs just confirmed this is a bug though

Goomulonimbus

Is this based on the script that went around several years ago where he was betrayed by Charlie Buckets father and has him killed or whatever

Great topic, thanks so much for doing this.

I promised a regional dumb thing when CNReal appeared so heres what happened to Toonami in the UK and Ireland:

So, in the early 2000s Cartoon Networks Toonami block spun off into its own channel in several markets, showing a lot of the same anime as the US block with western action cartoons as well. Overall the aesthetic was very similar to the US Toonami brand. The channel did pretty well for a number of years, the audience was growing, and things seemed to be going pretty well until in early 2006 they announced a rebrand with this truly terrible ad -
https://youtu.be/h3vbdOZUV5A
which turned the slick futuristic aesthetic into giggling cartoon blob monsters, and announced a slate of live action sitcoms and reality shows. In other words, trying to turn the whole thing into The Disney Channel, but worse (some of the shows even ran on Disney in the US). Needless to say, the ratings tanked and the channel was effectively shuttered just over a year later.

The wild thing is, this happened before live-action things like Re-Animated aired on Cartoon Network in the US, and years before CN Real. In other words Turner had already tried the pivot to live-action in an English speaking market before they tried it in the US and it had already bombed. Why they kept trying for years is beyond me.

Holy fuck, they were proudly airing Parker Lewis Can't Lose in 2006???? That is possibly the dumbest thing I've seen in this entire topic.

Were about due for a patch, so the spotlight caches probably go live tomorrow. HE surely needs more changes than this, but honestly I would probably be happy just to see HE Wasp go down to only one target on her ability.

I dont know where he got it but in the early 90s my grandpa got a cutout of Jack Hanna with a chimpanzee that he would just randomly move to different places in the house, looking out random windows, etc. for the next decade. We set it up at his funeral home visitation.

C3 has never really been good

Count Uptaten in dragon quest 5 is "count up to ten"

That one took a while for me to figure out.

To be fair thats an invention of the localization, like most Dragon Quest puns

like the town of Zere in IX, which there is an exact copy of where everything was turned to stone, called Zere Rocks (xerox)

I dont see Human Torch ever becoming the primary PF target because of Killmonger

has it been confirmed yet that copies of Phoenix Force'd cards not being able to move is a bug? For rules consistency they probably should be able to, but for game balance I feel like they shouldn't

Red Skull was a nerf where it mattered at the time (getting too big from Shuri), that one was fine. Dropping Galactus's power so losing priority was easier was the real fuckup. They blew it on the original Leader nerfs too, now he's in a good spot though

Oh yeah I also meant to mention: the whole arresting people at the adult theater thing is a tactic cops use to persecute gay men as it is a common cruising spot. Masturbating at the adult theater is fully expected behavior.

The Boston Mooninite Incident would probably qualify as #1 dumbest on an expanded list of all television since 2003 or whatever. An entire city government just doubling down on being wrong step after step after step, and nobody with power or influence being willing to say this is fucking stupid so they all continued to go through the motions as if this had real legitimacy as a plausible terrorist attack.

Japan has its own bronies now with Uma Musume

I cant remember one line of my schools Barney hate song, but the rest was

I hate you, you hate me
lets get together and kill Barney
with a ____________
and a bullet to the head
Lets all say that Barneys dead

I hadn't realized they got to finish the movie, I thought it was just fully dead in the water after the Disney acquisition/shutdown.

Just do Patriot/Surfer so you have a backup when Patriot can't work

throw Dazzler in there too and Mystique can copy her instead. Between Brood, Mister Sinister, and Debrii, it's not too hard to fill up the board

Now this I've got to see.

The show was Laverne and Shirley in the Army. Like the Happy Days one it got them both to reprise their roles (at least until they fired Cindy Williams from both the animated show and the sitcom after she sued Paramount for making her work on her pregnancy due date). In the second season it became Laverne and Shirley with the Fonz, where Fonzie became a mechanic at the army base. It was also paired with a Mork & Mindy animated series (the two original shows being spinoffs of Happy Days to begin with).

I forget if there are other minor differences, but the big thing they messed up is what happens when you break a block from underneath. You keep moving upward for a moment instead of immediately bouncing back downward, which can mess you up if youre running.

IMO All-Stars is inferior in basically every way. It looks like shit, sounds like shit, and they fucked up the physics too.

All-Stars is fine for SMB2 and 3 but for the first two games it sucks

Why would it blow up the opponents copies? They werent played. Negasonic blows up the next card played, not next card added. By now you should know what qualifies as a played card and what doesnt. Only a card placed manually by the player from hand to location is considered played (with the sole exception of Mysterios illusions, which also count as played, because otherwise it would be obvious which was real in many circumstances)

All 4 Negasonic blowing up is also exactly what I would expect. The next card played is the next card played, regardless of how many Negasonics are present.

He means pornography of ten year olds

Now that youve seen World 9, you can start using Warp Zones to finish faster. You can go 1-2 to World 4 and 5-2 to World 8. Both of those levels have multiple warp zones though so youll need to find the right one. None of them are backwards ones so dont worry about that.

Yep, I was let down when the swears were bleeped in Dexter's Rude Removal. I didn't expect it to be something hilarious, but there would definitely be at least some humor in just hearing Dexter and Dee-Dee say fuck

the answer is yes, but by this dumb "potable is different" logic all you have to do is freeze them and then they're edible, so the answer is yes anyway

*You know remember the screams of the kid who died at night of ingesting rat poison*

nah for me it's always the kid sinking into the slurry pit

and the scenes of the teacher peeling their nametag off of their coat rack at school or emptying their desk

I thought of a good oneApaches, the British farm safety video where the kids all die from various farm accidents. It is mostly known by kids who watched it on tape in school, but it started out being aired on local television stations

Another nice thing about the All Stars version is you can get the bonus worlds easily on one play through. I didnt realize they were that hard to get in the original. Imagine trying to do that in the NES days without turning it off.

It was a disk system game so it saved how many times you had finished it

"Caillou is bald not because he has progeria, but because his body recognizes he sucks and doesn't deserve hair or happiness or love" - whoever said this

That was sports writer Spencer Hall.

The other weird thing about Caillou is the framing device. Within the show, Caillou is supposed to be a story being read to some kids. This is why theres always a wavy white border around the screen. Its already a fictional story to begin with, why was that extra metafictional level necessary to add? And theres yet another layer where sometimes there are puppets and I believe one is supposed to be Caillous pet. And on top of that there are sometimes segments with live-action kids doing stuff! Too much going on in this shitty show.

well the ff3 heroes can just walk through lava apparently

It might be because you have a Geomancer, but I forget if thats actually a feature of the job in this game or not.

Apparently using Phoenix Force on Titania fucks up your game and can lock you out of matches for 30 minutes

they don't call it Handy for nothing

Wasn't there also an Air Heads commercial where the kids's heads turned into balloons

They also increased the medal payout for anything above Proving Grounds so between that and the extra time we have this month (we only had three weeks last month since it was added mid-season, and this month is a five-week season) it's definitely not worth getting mad about

If you do some more digging youll find that Hanna-Barbera had some truly awful derivative shows much worse than Jabberjaw. They seriously have like 10 or 15 different shows from that era that were basically Scooby-Doo but slightly different.

Was trying to burn through my remaining conquest tickets for the medals so I was just snapping turn 1 every game. Had a guy retreat as soon as I snapped five times in a row, at which point I just had to snap and beat him one time which I did instantly. Why not just concede at that point lol

Dan Ryckert did a stream on Friday night and played some of this, and it has an up to 100 player mode that you can use smartphones to control like Jackbox. So Dan started up a game and a bunch of viewers jumped in.

crazy thing is, it seems to be designed with the intention that all players are in the same room. It was working alright for a bit, but when it got to the third minigame, the set-up was like this is ninja, all players on the left team should surround the defending player

how delusional were the developers that they thought there would ever be 100 people in the same place willing to play this shit

also the minigames I saw were almost all terrible. One that basically worked remotely was a sort of lamer version of Bidiots from Jackbox (which was already not a good Jackbox game). Another was a quiz game, but the questions were all true or false and absolutely braindead easy. Literally one was this sport involves gliding on ice: ice skating.

anyway, the minigame is chosen by a wheel spinning each round and the fifth or sixth one ended up being the auction game again so Dan just shut off his Switch. im Sure theres other modes we didnt see, but the game seems bad.

The other viable game (almost more viable via internet than in real life) that we saw on his stream was one where you had to use your phone to take a picture that was closest to the color shown on screen. In real life I assume everyone would just take a picture of the same thing since you only have like fifteen seconds, so at least playing online everybody is in a different house to find different things. The big problem that ultimately killed it was that stream viewers could just pause the stream and take a photo of the game's screen when it's showing the color to begin with.

damn, must have posted that like two seconds after I started typing the same thing

The modern mode of fandom shipping wars definitely started in Harry Potter fandom on LiveJournal, you cannot argue this

oh yeah I was too busy to reply when I first read it but I have to point out that of the characters singing the 4Kids national anthem, only two of them were characters made in America (Splinter and Michelangelo), and of those two, one of them is from Japan within the fiction. And even Michelangelo is not technically an American citizen!

I'm pretty sure the steam version is basically the same as the DS version? What makes it so bad?

Pixel Remaster is so different from the DS version that I have to assume you're talking about the -other- Steam version which is basically a port of the DS version. Nobody could possibly play Pixel Remaster and not notice the differences (and I don't even mean the graphics).

After mentioning there'll be more John Kricfalusi later on the list, and the mention of bending the rules occasionally in the introduction, I'm starting to wonder if the Ren and Stimpy adult version will make an appearance. It's not a children's show itself, but it is children's show adjacent.

could be, but could also be about him grooming and having sex with underage girls

the only missables are if youre trying for 100% bestiary and treasure chest completion achievements as there are a few areas you cant go back to. No jobs or spells are permanently missable. There is technically a point of no return but you cant save after it anyway

I'm pretty sure there are multiple Seinfeld episodes where not wanting to give up a parking space on the street is either a throwaway line or part of a joke

Played the demo, very odd that Olimars logs are written like hes never met Pikmin before. Guess well see in the full game what the deal is there

Rugrats certainly has an unusual art style but man, the opening is straight-up sakuga

Loonatics Unleashed would probably merit a spot on this list either way, but it explicitly did not star the Looney Tunes characters, they were all their descendants, which probably made it even less appealing
