I hope this dude gets to release his game in English.

There's no reason not to bring a Shin-Chan game over to the West.

I mean, the issue kind of is Shin-chan is a childrens show with like 2,000 episodes while what americans are familiar with is like 50 episodes redubbed with crude humor added and a child who loves Ronald Reagan.

I didn't realize that there's more to that show than that. What's it about when it isn't an awful show about crude humor?

Macaluso: Sep 23, 2005; I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG, BROTHER!

My friends for whatever reason are suddenly getting into League of Legends. I'm trying to play it with them since they're so into it but man after playing HOTS for so long it's just like playing HOTS but everything is more annoying. There's a bunch of stuff I don't like about how LoL handles things compared to HOTS that I could sit here and list out, but the biggest thing that I don't like is the last hitting mechanic (which is directly tied to the shop, another mechanic I don't like). HOTS streamlines all this and it's rough trying to play LoL with my friends. LoL fans I'm sure love the "complexity" or whatever but I am too old and tired for this. Bulldozing through a bunch of structures as a tiny fish boy is so much better

I remember they used to air it on Fox Kids right after Jackie Chan Adventures and I thought it was some sort of prequel.

Its honestly a pretty mundane kids show where the kid shows his butt sometimes and can be a little rude. Nobody outside of the US thinks of it as anything super special other than its been on air for freakin ever, its like what if Dennis the Menace had a 30 year weekly tv show.

HOTS was made to remove that legacy cruft, sorry. Only thing I can tell you is a) League used to be so so much worse this is after a decade+ of cleaning things up b) Wild Rift is a console/mobile phone variant of LoL that further removes stuff and plays way faster maybe try to lure them into that whenever it comes out in your country?

Alright then. I was just kind of curious because that's pretty much also how it came across in my own country. I didn't watch it in the US, but I can't exclude the possibility that they presented it in a similar way here or even translated it from the US show, so I was just kind of wondering what it was supposed to be like.

The US show was a very limited run on a late night programming network ( a later season was made for Hulu but god only knows what happened to those rights) so I highly doubt anyone cribbed from that.

This bit from sailor moon was the first time I'd seen anything related to shin chan so you can probably imagine the confusion for anyone who wasn't aware what shin chan was, gag dub or not.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time. That said, I'm not sure how long the show ran here, so I wouldn't be able to really say. It was a late afternoon program, though, which I guess might mean that the broadcasters considered it more of an adult show than something suitable for children.

Arby's has a marketing budget and they like memes, Yacht Club is an indie and needs money, seems pretty natural honestly.

Arby�s is probably okay if there are no good sandwich places around and you have no standards (I sure don�t!) but the one in my town is like two minutes from a pretty good local sub shop and five minutes from a great sub place so I always wonder how they�re still in buisness.

i worked at arby's in high school and boy do those processed meat loaves look nasty before you slice them. they're huge dark red lumps wrapped in cling wrap with like little grease craters all over the skin, the grease trapped there by the cling wrap. they're kept on a warming rack so when you open the door you get hit with a wave of hot greasy beef air. the grease sort of sublimates in there so there's a thin film on the outside of every loaf

I have an "artisanal" roast beef sandwich shop down the street from me that serves a high-quality version of an Arby's sandwich... it's 7 dollars though

They also have a non-homophobic version of the Chick-Fil-A sandwich

Considering it was released as a free joke I thought the Wendy's RPG was funny as long as you took it for the marketing gimmick it was.

Never played it and probably never will but I had a chuckle looking at the rules.

Marketing games used to be weirdly popular for this short time during the nineties. Some of them were surprisingly fun.

It is absolutely real and you can play it. It's as stupid and hilarious as it sounds. Coloned Bishie-Sanders is going to cooking school and of course everything he makes is fried chicken of some description.
