in other news this game was first released in 2006 and made this joke:


Which is whatever but he went on and on with the Zero Wing dialog and the joke just kind of worn out its welcome :geno:

The other joke with this guy though is that he's a Dracula reference (he had all the staple moves as his Castlevania counterpart) but he was naked under his cape and when he opened it to shoot fireballs his junk was covered by a mosaic filter. That was pretty funny.

considering this was originally a japanese indie game, that might have been added in by the translation, but i guess it depends on whether that meme ever had any sort of presence over there, and i'm not sure what the original text could be that would result in them doing something like that

playing condemned and fear is making me miss no one lives forever. i kind of think both the nolf games play like complete rear end, but i really appreciate that the writing in them was actually really fun and goofy in a way that made me ok with just listening to guard chatter, while playing fear just makes me wonder when the big scripted scenes will end so i can get back to flying kicking super soldiers, and the ending of condemned was just really loving stupid and lame.

I haven't played either of the NOLF games in like 15 years but NOLF1 had some of the most fun multiplayer I've ever played.

What about toad's mushroom head, is it a hat or part of his body?

I checked Wikipedia to see how Waluigi is related to the brothers, and apparently his reception as a character is "mixed"?? I thought he was beloved? Or is that just among goons?

quote:

"He [Waluigi] is seen as less than legitimate by Nintendo internally. His first appearances were in the sports games made by Camelot, who thrust the half-baked villain on the world. [...] He has yet to appear in a core Mario game, and also never appears in his brother Wario's titles, perhaps because Nintendo thinks he’s not good enough for them. Here's hoping this silly creation will continue to be relegated to the side projects where he belongs.[19]”

Wasn't the story with Yoshis originally that they were "trapped inside the eggs" by Bowser?


Has that been swept out of the lore along with "Bowser turned the people of the Mushroom Kingdom into bricks and pipes"?
Not that that explains baby Yoshis either way.

i think it depends on the yoshi, like there's the ones that were trapped in eggs and they're the fully-grown ones you find everywhere, but then there are baby yoshis like you find in star road which are a different story

I would say it's part of his head since Toadette's head has little mushroom cap pigtails, and, y'know, they're mushroom people, but I guess it depends on if you accept the Super Mario Bros Super Show as canon.

We learn in Yoshi's Island that it is the Yoshis that trap other creatures into eggs. The true question is, who is the rogue Yoshi that was working for Bowser in Super Mario World, and how long will he keep getting away with it?!

There's also a free version floating around if you can find it. The Steam version has updated graphics and music and I think the key progression is a little different than I remember. I'm certainly getting a lot farther in it than I did when I tried playing the free version before like seven years ago.

Granted, nobody ever told Birdo that spitting eggs from one's mouth is not what female birds (bird-ish things? what the gently caress is a Birdo anyway?) do, but still.

Not that Birdo is a bird or anything but Kazooie can shoot eggs from her mouth and therefore it's a thing birds can do.

You're thinking of this character: https://www.mariowiki.com/Ostro

In the cast roll of Super Mario Bros. 2, Ostro's and Birdo's names were switched, causing some confusion; this mistake was fixed in Super Mario Advance.

quote:

All Toads have special mushroom caps on the top of their heads, just like actual mushrooms. Whether the mushroom cap is a hat or part of Toad physiology is never explicitly revealed in the games and is usually left somewhat ambiguous. The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 shows that the cap is simply a type of hat (or at least that it can be safely removed). When Toad took off his mushroom cap in that cartoon, he revealed his round head with a few strands of hair. Paper Mario depicts the Toad conductor's hat briefly coming off revealing a bald head without a mushroom cap. In Mario Strikers Charged, a Toad's skeleton is briefly seen when they are shocked, and the cap does not appear to be a part of it. On the other hand, Shinya Hiratake, the director of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, made a reference to Toad caps by mentioning "Captain Toad's mushroom head".[6] Various Toads are also shown to have hair hanging down from underneath their caps, such as Toadofsky and Jolene.

What's bad about PQ? I've heard the complaints about the caricature stuff though I guess with the game's story, that is kinda justified, but just because it is justified doesn't make it good. What about it makes it a bad etrian odyssey game though?

The balance isn't great, too, especially with random battles. If you're playing "efficiently," you're gonna give Naoto a secondary Persona that boosts her ailment skills and just let her sweep every random battle with Mahamaon or Mamuduoon and basically never have to pay attention to a random fight again. Yeah, you can just not do that if you find it boring, but then the battles are more tedious than the random battles in Etrian games, so it's kind of a lose/lose.

I like a lot of its ideas (and its soundtrack) but it just wasn't executed all that well.
