Kraid was always fat and stupid looking. Still a shame that he never appeared in the Prime trilogy.

I'm playing Prime right now and everything is wonderful and also I am holding copies of Little King's Story, Klonoa, and Dewy's Adventure for some reason???
Why does this happen every time I go look through my game collection.

Little King's Story is also a great (and completely absurd) game, I really need to re-play that one of these days. :)

Say, why does Zero Mission's artstyle remind me of a western comic? Like, I can't think of one specifically but it seems similar.

Oddly enough, I found my virtua quest gc game hiding last night....that's one that should be on the awful block. The cutscenes are basically rising zan with virtua fighters.

If I remember right, when the second one was announced he had said he wanted the first donation (which was read off as Notch) anonymous. Except the tracker included that one and the one after it with the first one.

I appreciate the man wants his privacy but literally nobody else donates so much year after year, so...

With that goofy metal helmet, all I can see is :haw:

As for the art style, it sort of gives me a Moebius vibe, but I know a lot of other comic fans who would kill for a Metroid series done by Mike Mignola.

World9 Gaming provided a ton of practice equipment and is running the practice room for us.

I'm not certain what Tiny Build gave us, and rom isn't around for me to ask.

I heard from people at the event that the equipment wasn't in great condition (rf only consoles, bad controllers, snes consoles weren't soft modded, etc)so people have been resorting to practicing in the casual room. Is there any reason why that sponsor was selected without a quality check for the equipment?

This isn't a 100% speedrun right? I hope someone does one eventually because this game expects you to do some some frankly absurd shinesparking to collect everything and I want to see those destroyed.

The best thing by far is is his dance in Prime 3 when he's vulnerable. I think Slowbeef was nearly in tears during his LP the first time he saw it.

Can't speak for the rest but "bad controllers" is kind of silly to complain about since people were supposed to be bringing their own anyway.

I don't really know much about the PCF, but one of my friends was asking about what percentage of the money they raise goes towards the cause itself vs. administrative expenses and if they're registered or not in the US. Anyone have a citation for either offhand? (this person isn't a redditor or a channer)
