dont be, i literally could not care less about mobas. the only reason i know about that video is cuz a friend linked it to me

Oh, that's fair. I keep up on industry chatter as I am a gaming-industry refugee, but I got the (positive!) impression that you were plugged into the nerd-culture sort of news stream in general.

Not caring about MOBAs is probably the healthiest attitude to have about them, really.

Yeah, I also thought of detective chimp, but he's an ape, the major difference is if they have a prehensile tail or not.

Beppo the Super Monkey is also an alien (but a monkey alien).
Titano the Super Ape is a (super) ape from Earth, though.

The DC Wikia considers both Beppo and Gleek "monkeys".

Meanwhile the Marvel Wikia does not include Hit-Monkey for some reason.

Mandrills are apparently monkeys, but The Mandrill is not.

APE: Smart, big, no tail, long-lived, high rampage potential
MONKEY: Clever, small, tail (usually), medium-lived, medium rampage potential (increases in groups)

Chimps, gorillas and orangutans are all apes.

According to the L'Encyclopédie du Marsupilami, they are monotremes like the platypus and echidna, which explains why they lay eggs while having mammalian features.[7]

Not necessarily. Old World monkeys in general don't have prehensile tails (and some have no tails), only New World species do. There's only five species of apes: humans, gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, and gibbons. The first four are classified as "great apes" while gibbons are "lesser apes".

Apparently Screech (Nick) is a trust fund kid who was previously connected (or related) to Ty. Vic had tried to hire lawyers who took one (or a second) look at his case and said 'gently caress no' and Nick pushed for it to be Ty. See also his repeated promotion, trying to drum up extra business for him (frog god games sexual harassment etc.).

Whether it crosses into unethical i don't know based on their different states' rules, but it'd certainly be something Vic could try and raise if he wanted to on losing.

Which he won't, because they'll be a new appeal go fund me account.

Financially it's better for Ty and Nick to lose...

I've lost track of who's who, why do you call Nick Screech? For a moment I was worried Dustin Diamond was involved. I mean, between the sex tape and being jailed for pulling a knife in a bar fight Diamond isn't exactly a nostalgic joy either, but...

He kind of looks like an older version of Screech from saved by the bell.

Ty is Percy because that's his real name.

Sorry, force of habit because the chuds get really annoyed at people mocking their idols.

Also they're super, super angry about the dallas news article and desperate to let everyone know.
