I can't believe Game Theory took down all their Smash History videos because (?) the guy who did them isn't with the channel anymore.

Those were like the only good thing about the channel.

Wario is actually Mario from an alternate universe who suffered from being the host in a case of fetal resorption syndrome.

Sometime during the N64 era the fetus finally emerged from Wario fully formed, now known as Waluigi.

I never got why some people were mad Sonic Generations included a stage from 2006, like the game about the franchise celebrating it's 20th anniversary was supposed to sweep it under the rug or something.

It's gonna be sorta kinda funny when skylanders dies off and his kids grows out of it. The guy who runs that channel has 833 vids alone of just him doing skylanders stuff (idk how many vids his other non-skylanders accounts have) and idk how I'd feel if a good portion of my childhood was filmed and put online by my dad attempting to be really funny but just coming off as cringeworthy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EniJHgfHdQc

His kids are already growing out of it.

That's why they've been making new kids.

Can you imagine the therapy someone is going to go through when they talk to their therapist about how the only reason their parents had them was to get more money and views on the family YouTube channel? That you only came into existence for that primary reason.

On a similar tangent does anyone else remember how there was a kid like twelve years ago that all the gaming publications did stories about because he was super good at Halo 2? And the dad was always a part of those interviews going on about they've got a documentary in the works and all sorts of sponsorship deals lined up. But things didn't progress fast enough and when you're trying to make content based on the marketability of your child I guess there's an expiration date on when you can cash in it because nothing ever came of it as soon as the "Wow this baby is really good at video games." factor was no longer there.

I mean dude it probably is because they're a sponsor I mean Reggie is listed right there on the dumb "Advisory Board" and they probably have some dumb exclusive to show off however meaningless it is so like I said a few days ago it's...kindaaaa weird there's only fan games in the category in the first place considering the nominees in previous years have been...not fan games.

Also at the end of the day I think concerning fan games it's always gonna be the fact that they're (unfortunately?) still hardware developers and that "Our console/handheld is the only place to play with all these franchises" line is probably still important to them even if nobody else does it anymore with even Microsoft having dual releases on the PC now. And having fan games (that you can just get on your PC) getting more and more publicity than ever before really blurs the invisible line they were comfortable having in years past.

Edit: And even if it's true when you say that, "This fan game is even better than what they're making GBS threads out now a days." it's still probably not a very smart thing to say so loud, so often.

I do notice while people will say this regarding AM2R very few actually will regarding Uranium in comparison to X/Y and more recently Sun and Moon. Like it's a lot harder to make the case there.

I mean Samus is depicted in AM2R as a total badass and not a blowup doll so I can see why sakamoto wanted it removed at least

I know this is a joke but a lot of people these days seem like they legit believe the actual developers of the official games back in Japan are the ones who are telling the various legal teams around the world to do lovely stuff.

Which again plays into a good narrative but doesn't make a lot of sense when we're talking about franchises not named Metroid.

apparently the AAA game industry is having a little bit of a crisis right now. according to PAL charts, Watch Dogs 2 sold only 20% of what Watch Dogs 1 sold in the same timeframe from launch. Similarly, Mankind Divided sold half of what Human Revolution sold, Gears of War 4 sold 25% of what GOW3 sold, Titanfall 2 sold 25% of what Titanfall 1 sold, Infinite Warfare sold half of what the last COD sold. Remember this is not "(X) launch week vs. (Y) lifetime sales" but "(X) sales after (Z) days vs (Y) sales after (Z) days"

maybe companies should consider releasing games outside of the last two months of the year just because of Black Friday

DOOM sold well for example and it was not a holiday game. but meanwhile Skyrim Remastered is outselling Watch Dogs 2 currently lol

The spider is there to train you for a lifetime of other Japanese games that have that same similar mechanic.

He stole a lot of posts from people, a lotta memes. But it was mostly when it got personal that people starting actively disliking the account. It got to a point where you'd see someone post something on their feed, a screenshot from a game or a picture of the actual person's dog looking at something I don't know and then a little while later he'd just repost the content without credit, type "WHO THE HELL DID THIS?" and rake in the likes and retweets.

I'm preemptively saying sorry for making a crack some time ago about how if MVC4 happens this gen Disney and Marvel would probably ask Capcom to gut out all the X-men.

I didn't think it'd actually happen like that:

quote:

Fans of the series should expect Marvel vs. Capcom 4's roster of Marvel characters to draw strongly from the cinematic universe that Marvel Studios has popularized — and has full control over — during the past decade. That means fighting game fans will more likely see characters plucked from The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy films, and not from properties like the X-Men. Expect to see superheroes like Ant-Man and Groot make appearances, with characters of mutant origin — think Wolverine and Magneto — sitting out this entry.
