Just change "the patriarchy" to "feminism" in that last tweet and you have a starter tweet, free of charge

Does Mario really just punctuate his everyday speech with Waheys and Yahoos? That's pretty intolerable IMO

Time to dig up this old chestnut:

quote:

i've met/talked with charles martinet at least five times over the last decade. he's a super nice guy, but mario is sort of part of him. one time i was playing nsmbw at the nintendo booth with him and two other people, and he made mario sounds throughout. last year he kinda went 'wahoo!' to himself as he threw away a paper towel after washing his hands as we crossed paths when i went into the men's room.

NPC behavior in Animal Crossing was based on an Nintendo employee's experience as a child visiting Brooklyn and how everyone was rude towards them.

Luigi does the "-a" thing in Paper Mario Color Splash and it's weird because he's never talked that way in the RPGs before

He voices the dragon on top of the mountain in Skyrim and I'm glad somebody made mods that make him just say "Yahoooo!!" in the Mario voice in between. That mod creator was doing the lord's work.

Sim City (SNES) - I loved this game, and tried so hard to get my city to the last stage. (Megalopolis?) I never got that drat Mario statue!


It turns out that game is so busted, you can basically only get to Megalopolis by cheating or doing a lot of bizarre, weird poo poo that seems really counter-intuitive. My brothers and I spent hours trying too though, lol.

The game that played a lot as a kid was Night Stalker, for the Intellivision. I wanted to get to the Invisible Robot, but I never did.

I think Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior 3 were probably the games we played the most as kids, though.

I wondered about this. A few years ago, I tried it on an emulator and found that as an adult, I was able to play the game a lot better. However it seemed like the population needed for a megalopolis was just too far off, like I needed a starting area that was almost all land or something.

Have they started a service like those ads you'd see on TV where you'd donate to sponsor a poor kid somewhere and each month you get a postcard about them?

Only instead of impoverished kids it's space ships.

I think it's a brochure trying to sell you on a $750 collection of XYZ points that resemble a spaceship, then also upsell you on physical tchotchkes that also resemble said spaceship.

Okay, I misunderstood the grammar of the sentence then, but it's telling how hosed up this thing has become that I thought they could actually charge $750 for a brochure
