A day late, but GaMetal has a tradition of doing music from terrible or weird games on April Fool's. Last year was the final boss theme from some Spongebob game. This time, it's CHEETAHMEN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJHsJSm1IHU&hd=1

Most people don't remember that game, but if you've ever played I Wanna Be The Guy, you'll immediately recognize the catchy theme.

i recall this being pretty fun


My friend got this and it resulted in a lot of bickering and fighting, it was almost monopoly-like in that regard

surprisingly fun game but boy I remember you could really dick people over. Also it was pretty easy to lose some of the tokens.

I like the idea of giving bedroom producers a chance to publish a song with the help of Vocaloids. I think most songs Miku is known for were made by hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts from online communities such as 2ch and Nico Nico Douga. That's one of the awesome aspects of the whole Vocaloid phenomenon. In an ironic way, Miku is more real than your typical big label produced stars, despite being a virtual idol of some sort.
They do, or at least used to, take the more popular things made using Vocaloid and then push them as official, which is neat. Like, these two were made by randos and then picked up by Yamaha I believe. Unfragment has shown up in the Miku games.

Also Atlus is hilariously stupid, I literally bought a copy of Persona 4 Golden because of the Giant Bomb Endurance Run, and became interested in Persona as a series because of it. Disallowing LPs just means the game will stay more obscure than if they allowed LPers to run it. The Super Best Friends literally said on their podcast monday evening that they planned on doing an episode a day until they finished it, began recording, and then:

eyyyyyy, my post got made into a thread title, woo!

how are folks doing this fine morning, I have been stressed about politics the last few months like many have but lately it's been less stressful as the sheer incompetence of the GOP rears its ugly head, which has led to being less stressed in general and enjoying things more! Like video games!!

I am still playing zelda and I will probably at the very least get all the shrines, and maybe continue occasionally putzing around exploring the world in it, because it's just so wonderful.

also been listening to cover artists on youtube

My first experience with sa was in the early oughts, maybe 01 or 02, when I was a mere teenager in a MIRC channel and a dude in there who was from SA linked to goatse. That was my first "OH MY WHAT IS THAT MAN DOING TO HIS ANUS" moment, and then someone said "loving GOONS" and then a friend at school started referencing stuff from sa and I just kinda made my way here eventually. Then I made a shitpost and got my regdate changed for it and here I am now :v:

There were also really epic chains of stories posters. Like HumperMonkey and uh, whatever that garbage truck driver's name were. Where they started out as these really cool, real-sound accounts of real life events and, as popularity grew, became increasingly improbably to the point where it was like, okay, I used to believe you weren't just making this poo poo up, but now it's pretty obvious that you are.

Dumbfounded right up until they go bankrupt probably, since they dumped a shitload into whatever their moba was, battleborn? And it loving tanked harder than almost anything I can think of in video games ever. And they refused to make it free to play lol

You lucky son of a gun! I've got a nice collection of TFA figures, but no masterpiece figures yet.

Go to ebay and look up Wei Jiang, and Takasa Tony. WJ makes oversized KO's that are as good if not improvements on the originals(get MPP10, seriously), and Takasa Tony makes KO's of the smaller car masterpieces that are essentially identical to the originals in build quality for 25 bucks shipped.

I've got a ton of them as well as legit ones, they're great for fleshing out a collection on a budget.
