Yeah sometimes I wonder why I still watch this show. I've thought about stopping a couple times, had my finger over the DVR delete show option, but then kept watching. I LOVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL MISERY, BRAVERMAN FAMILY!

I am the same way but with voiceovers. Especially for commercials, I can usually name the celebrity within a few seconds. A useless, but fun, little skill.

After using my roommate's Wii in the living room the past few months I rather jump off a bridge than buy a new Nintendo product.

Fast Luck posted:Did anyone buy the Wii U?  The Xbox One has shipped 5 million consoles to date, no numbers on how many have actually sold. They sold more PS4s in a month than WiiUs were sold in an entire year. Nintendo has already burned through half of their warchest they built up from the Wii and their current president is probably going to lose his job in June. The console is basically dead in the water aside from Nintendo diehards who don't mind dropping $300 to play two Nintendo games a year.

From a consumer perspective, the WiiU is a lot of fun and has very enjoyable games, as well as the ability to play them and watch TV at the same time. Expect WiiU to be the most popular home console after a price drop, which will occur much sooner thanks to the earlier release window.

Parenthood is doing some daring things when it comes to mainstream drama. They show that someone can become homosexual but still be as bland and irritating as they ever were before.

Tbh Wii U is the first Nintendo console I didn't get although the Wii was a gift and I had already pretty much quit playing video games somewhere in the Gamecube era. I played three games for the Wii: Zelda, Mario, and Paper Marios.

Fast Luck posted:Don't care about Metroid, that game was one of my favorite franchises on NES/SNES but it lost me back when it went 3D. Donkey Kong might have been cool though. Donkey Kong Country Returns is excellent, but if you're a Super Metroid fan and you didn't even give Metroid Prime a chance, you made a mistake. Prime 1 is a flawless adaptation of the series and its mechanics into 3D, and one of the best games ever made.

Nintendo IMO is a lot like a cartoon. They make some of the best games ever on a consistent basis but they're dismissed because their demographics aren't specific enough to draw the audiences that need to be spoken to directly.

I actually auto-bought it because it was Metroid and then played it for like 10 minutes before tossing it aside and never taking it out again. Really hated the 3D and controls immediately.

You made an enormous mistake, friend. Metroid Prime has an almost-identical-to-Super-Metroid opening, right down to the exploding Space Frigate and subsequent Ridley chase. It picks up substantially once you land on the planet and can start exploring. scary ghost dog fucked around with this message at 04:18 on Apr 19, 2014 |

I've been playing ffxiii-2 In it the main character resolves a closed time loop where a boss she is fighting endlessly respawns because it's able to go back in time and ensure its own creation by controlling the AI that creates it by yelling SO LOUD the yell travels back in loving time and stops the creator of the AI, who is also a close friend of hers, from ever creating the AI that creates the boss in the first place Video games are p rad guys

Speaking of videogames and TV shows, I just finished South Park: The Stick of Truth and its definitely a must play for South Park fans, it basically plays out like a bunch of episodes.
