but she turned out to be a huge bro and funny.

This... drifts away as the series goes on. I honestly think Haruka is at her finest in Y1. Later games kinda make her a little too generic, a little too "girl next door", a little too "too pure for this sinful earth". And yes, that includes her playable stint in Y5.

nothing justifies nazi imagery anywhere tbh but these kids are legit terrible people for this

Just so long as we can all sit in this topic and agree with how right we all are.

I know we're all armchair geniuses on racism, but I don't hold high school kids to the standard of "always getting it right". High school kids fuck up in plenty of ways, and this is one of them. Part of growing up.

Doesn't justify Nazi imagery on social media.

It has IR sensors to track your movement. Instead of stepping on an arrow pad, you step on a portion of the dance floor to match the position on the screen with one foot or another.



Also it has 4-Player Team Battle:



Also we are NEVER GOING TO ESCAPE THAT GODDAMN SONG.

Funnily enough my high school crush is still single. 20 years later. Wish she would just get married already.

Then again, who am I to make such demands? :-P

Not having seen the movie, I'm not going to assume what happens during it, but just as a thought experiment, what if one of the movie's themes or morals is about T'Challa learning that perhaps being so isolated and secretive is not necessarily the best policy?

Also *ahem* there's the little matter that Wakanda is an advanced society largely due to the vibranium it controls, not because it's so isolated, single-raced, or secretive.

Y'know, kinda how a certain real-life young country fell bass-ackwards into a large resource rich land some centuries back, and that's what launched it into prominence on the world stage.

So for those of you who haven't used GameFAQs for actual FAQs for a while, every so often you'll get a pop-up asking "Is this guide helpful to you?" You can select Yes/No and then offer a comment if desired. I get one or two a week maybe. Some can be very sweet. Others actually offer good info I'm issing.

And then there's today's, for my LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 guide. Apparently this guide was a "No" on being helpful, and the comment was:

Both dc and marvel heroes

I uh... don't know what to make of this. Did this person want me to do a guide for the DC LEGO games? Cuz did that. A while ago. Did the person what me to include both DC and Marvel heroes in my guide as a matter of inclusion, despite no DC heroes appearing in a Marvel game?

This may or may not keep me up tonight in thought.

Because they still haven't equated "proudly" is an adverb derivation of "pride", probably the worst of the seven sins.

Before passing any kind of murder/banishment sentence on him, I'd want to know why. What got him seduced by ISIS. What about the US pulled him away? Nobody is just "a fanatic" by default or by nature of their birth.

I guess that proves that the best part of ISIS is its marketing.

Three years since the announcement and next to nothing in terms of info.

Anyone with greater emotions than "vague interest" regarding this ghost of a project has attached way too much of their lives to it.

Final Fantasy VII is such a golden calf so people will hate Square no matter what they do with it.

Exactly the point. This very topic proves that everyone who "knows what fans want" all actually want different things for themselves. S-E would be doing the smart thing by saying "screw those fans" and doing something to try to attract a new generation.

Tiger Drop is the second-to-last Komaki move.

And it's Komaki. He called himself "Komeki" in Yakuza 0 to imply he was going under an alias.

I think the parents should be able to get their taxes back from the school that would have otherwise educated their child

Hmm. What's your opinion on childless couples paying taxes for education? Or single people?

I remember when everyone thought I was a racist.

Someone made a topic asking what "the most dangerous animal in Africa" was.

I responded "human".

One of the responses jokingly suggested I hated black people and a bunch of others picked up on it.

Good times.

Well, we tend to like those guys, so we want to emulate them, but the difference between us and them is that they're good at their job of comedic snark and get paid for it.

Shogi's rough. Learning Shogi is like relearning chess. My Kiwami guide has a Shogi video that I made for the challenges just so you can knock those out and possibly farm Shogi points for the one weapon that's in there.

Mahjong was something that took me about five games to get comfortable with, but in the end I'm pretty confident and I have fun with it. I have a written-out guide in my current FAQs, and I also link to the user barticle's guide as well. He's a good resource.

CyricZ

I am in this topic now.

And I'm also avoiding Y6 spoilers as best I can.

Thinking of making a mahjong video. Not one that describes mahjong completely. Just one where I play a few rounds or something and I can post it in each of my guides when people are like "I don't get mahjong and don't want to read your guide!" Good thing mahjong changes almost zero between each iteration.

Arcades in the US have pretty much distilled down to 1) Dave and Busters and 2) serious enthusiasts who run their own places, and I mean *serious* enthusiasts. You can't go half-measure on arcades anymore or else you'll end up with busted machines in the corner of your janky business that no one cares to fix.

While I appreciate Dave and Busters for trying to keep the dream alive, the whole setting seems way too... manufactured and "corporate" for me. No fighting games, largely ticket-spitters. Props for getting new games (I did appreciate the opportunity to play Star Wars: Battle Pod), but their pricing system is so damn obtuse that it's easy to not realize you're getting taken for a massive ride every time you swipe your card.

As for enthusiast locations, naturally they're very specific to region. I'm oddly lucky living in New Hampshire because there are multiple places for me to try. Funworld in Nashua, NH is a good quick stopover for a fix, although it's really starting to fall apart in the last few years. There's also the Pinball Wizard arcade in Pelham, with a rather large collection of pinball, but also plenty of classic games as well. It was nice to see just a line of Capcom fighters in order of release.

Lastly there's Funspot in Laconia, which is the home of the ACAM, the American Classic Arcade Museum. Dude, if you want to find some old-ass games that are running fine, you go here. And I mean OLD-ASS. Like SEVENTIES. It's a giant collection, and most of the games suck by nature, but it's still cool to see them.

EDIT: Oh yeah, DDR. The second subject of this topic. So, you can pretty easily find DDR in any Dave and Busters. Last one I went to (in Braintree, MA) had a DDR A machine, which is the DDR that came out in 2016. They added a few extra "Western" songs that the Asian versions didn't get initially, such as Happy, Shut Up and Dance, Time Of Our Lives, so clearly support is happening.

I wonder if Julia still cosplays

@cyricz hollisterbabe as well while you're here, thank you appreciate it

Uhh, haven't kept up with Julia, so wrong tree there. HB, did she ever cosplay? She's mostly blogging these days. At least that's what goes up on her FB.

I mean, you pinged me man. I don't "search mox's name". She's a friend. Hell you can find her on twitter pretty easily if you're that interested in creeping.
