I am allergic to fuzzy caterpillars. Not the normal creepy ones, the cute black and brown balls of fuzz. I can never hold one or else I break out in hives.



They're called Wooly Bear caterpillars and they sound so cute but to me they are only deadly :smith:

Matt,

So when I was 8 years old my mom had custody of me. We lived on this lowrent culdesac, and one day I decided to knock on my neighbors door to see if my video game friend could hang out. They had a bush right next to their porch door, and all of a sudden bees starting attacking me from the bush. I got stung multiple times and it was extremely painful. At the time I wasn't allergic to bees, but I eventually became allergic. I recall a video where you made fun of people being allergic to bees, and I didn't want to bring it up.... but since the topic is here, I want your public apology on bee alergists.

It's petty as gently caress, but I irrationally hate Brawl because 90% of the soundtrack is basically the Brawl theme remixed over and over and over. Not because it plays slower than Melee or the tripping; I hate it because it beats that loving theme into the ground and I was sick of it by the time the game came out.

Oh and for the record Dedede ain't a villain. Only time he was is when he pigged out and ate everything and Kirby got pissed and got the food back. Everything that penguin does is him trying to play the part of hero in a extremely stupid way :v: 95% of the time he's either just being a jerk, or possessed by the ancient evil of the week.

Same with Meta Knight who just wants everyone to stop being so lazy and he just wants dreamland to be active. He's settled on matches with Kirby as "good enough" though it seems.

Said this cause y'know. It's super important. I'm sure this information will be useful one day.

Puss moth caterpillar. Extremely painful toxic spines that look like soft fur. Wooly bears are similar though not really toxic, the hairs can still irritate the skin of some people.

That's one of the reasons I personally love the soundtrack- I have an irrational adoration for leitmotifs.
Honestly, I think I like Brawl so much more than the others because I never had anyone to play against when I was a kid, so pretty much all games might as well have been single player only to me.

So, Smash 4 or Project M next week? Place your bets.

Woolly Bears are awesome, and to most people are 100% harmless. I often find them hibernating in my basement doorframe or the basement itself.

They turn into fairly nondescript moths, but check out how loving badass Woolly Bears are:

quote:

The Isabella Tiger Moth (Pyrrharctia isabella) can be found in many cold regions, including the Arctic. The banded Woolly Bear larva emerges from the egg in the fall and overwinters in its caterpillar form, when it literally freezes solid. It survives being frozen by producing a cryoprotectant in its tissues. In the spring it thaws out and emerges to pupate. Once it emerges from its pupa as a moth it has only days to find a mate.

In most temperate climates, caterpillars become moths within months of hatching, but in the Arctic the summer period for vegetative growth – and hence feeding – is so short that the Woolly Bear must feed for several summers, freezing again each winter before finally pupating. Some are known to live through as many as 14 winters.
Meanwhile, the Puss Moth caterpillar does this:

quote:

The 'fur' of the larva contains venomous spines that cause extremely painful reactions in human skin upon contact. The reactions are sometimes localized to the affected area but are often very severe, radiating up a limb and causing burning, swelling, nausea, headache, abdominal distress, rashes, blisters, and sometimes chest pain, numbness, or difficulty breathing.[2] Additionally, it is not unusual to find sweating from the welts or hives at the site of the sting. Ironically, the resemblance of the larvae to soft, colorful cotton balls encourages people to pick them up and pet them.
But the Puss Moth itself is gorgeous(but still dangerous):


Sorry for bringing the thread into Critterquest territory, I'll stop now. :)

I got PAS for free on PSN+ and that game is the Smash equivalent of those bad MK ripoffs we got in the 90s. Okay, maybe that's harsh, but it is super-bland.

EDIT: just watched the entire Brawl video and drat, Liam owns your souls after that one. The Ganon Dunk should be a channel highlight.

What a terrible thing, holding on to an opinion.

No, seriously. Dude likes Melee better, and as far as I'm aware Smash 4 doesn't really play like Melee. That doesn't mean he hates the game, he's just nitpicky about it - which is to be expected if you invested a lot of time in a franchise.

The best Fisticuffs are the ones where the Zaibatsu is mostly competent at the game being played. The Smash series was like that, and so was 3S.

I couldn't deal with Liam talking in circles every time the game came up.
