  1. How exactly did we come to a point as a culture where Transformers is lame but My Little Pony is popular?

      "Transformers won awards! It has to be good!" I refuse to believe Transformers won anything short of a fucking Razzie.

      Oh it will, Skum. It will. You're going to have a reboot where the Wonderbolts are terrorists who kidnap and brutally murder Applejack for holding the Bolt nation down, where Pinkie Pie cuts herself for having the middle name 'Diane' and Rainbow Dash is a racist who drops the N-bomb at least twice every episode.

  2. I am hereby declaring Billy Kidman's WCW Theme to be the most underrated theme in wrestling history. Please adjust your opinions accordingly.

      I used to love his theme. I never really understood why I liked Kidman, he was dull on the mic, couldn't act, had loads of people who could wrestle better, and looked like you could grate cheese on his face, but I always liked the guy.

  3. Things I Learned at Sakuracon: 1) There will always be something nerdier. 2) Never underestimate the power of All-Girl J-Pop Groups. 3) Navi is the least popular video game character ever

  5. Has anyone here played Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit? I'm kinda curious about if it's any fun to play or not.

      It's worth a play, considering you can probably find it for like four bucks somewhere.

      Pretty much everything has already been said. Its a good game but at the end it gets a bit beyond borderline stupid. You'll get it so cheap now anyway so you might as well give it a whirl

      I'm rather awestruck by what I am finding on this cleaning. The crown jewel of it is a collection of WCW Comics from 1992, right next to WARRIOR Issues 1 and 2.

      I dare say it had something to do with EWR or wrestling in general, those are the four main areas.

  7. So not only will I be working at Sakuracon, but I am in the running to be a chessmaster in Cosplay chess (in addition to possibly being in cosplay myself) and my badge is the Cornette Face. I think I just hit some sort of Nerd Singularity.

      Your sister could beat me at chess any day.

      And by 'chess', I mean 'sex'.

      And by 'beat me at', I mean 'have with me'.

      That's grammatically incorrect, but the point is clear.

  9. Just once I want a company to call me and say "Sorry, you didn't get the job" rather than shitting out a generic one sentence form letter at 6:30 PM, the equivalent of them saying "You didn't get the job, why don't you go eat shit and die"

      Yeah - Steam. And the game is brilliant - the classic segments are clearly the best, but I never felt the 3D stuff was all that bad and here it gets a good juxtaposition.

  11. I think my favorite feature of SvR is that when you play online against a CAW, it always looks extremely stupid and has super maxed out stats and hits moves like RKOs and Vertebreakers as normal moves.

      Yeah, I heard it was somewhere in the skybridge between the two main expo halls? But that area was a cluttered mess of stuff I didn't care about. I probably passed it by a billion times.

    3. The Brian J

      It wasn't on the skybridge at all. It was in one of the main rooms, near where they were playing Batman Gotham City Imposters

      AUGH. That was the one area of the floor I didn't go to! I didn't even realize it until this morning.

      After announcing last week that there would be a 5-on-5 elimination match between Democrats and Republicans, it was changed to a three-way match for the Presidency this week, though most expected Obama's long reign to continue until Bill Clinton returns and challenges for the Presidency in January

      I'm normally in Iowa City, so at least there is SOME activity, it's just surrounded on all sides by nothing.

      Also, I already saw that Ride The Duck thing. I would shoot myself with a bullet made entirely of sadness before I rode that thing.

      Things you need to do before you leave: buy a burger and fries from Dick's (either by the Seattle Center or up on Broadway), wander along The Ave in the U District (if you like cheap bookstores/video game stores/comic shops it rules), Seattle Center, possibly the International District? I'm assuming you took the lightrail in from SeaTac so you've seen about as much as South Seattle as you'll ever want to see.

      The Ave sounds like a dream come true for a nerd/hipster such as myself. I'm going tomorrow.

      No no, Quom. They don't taste like bacon. They are donuts that are glazed with maple frosting...and then two large strips of bacon are placed on top.

      voodoodoughnut.com, they have the most insane lineup

  20. I have a 70% "Avoided" rating on XBLA. Maybe making a SVR CAW of a man in a suit with "YOUR CAW IS STUPID" written on the back wasn't a good idea. On second thought, worth it anyway.

      Pin glitching and freezing the opponent during ladder matches have become the most popular gameplay mechanics online. I'm going back to MVC3, I know Taskmaster/Haggar/Dormammu will never, ever let me down.

      I'd love to see Chael with a belt. Granted it's partly because I'm a newcomer to MMA and I can't recall seeing Anderson Silva fight so I have no emotional attachment to the guy.

      I'm not debating the quality of the show, I've seen it and it is funny. But still, #1 on Netflix? A fucking CONVENTION coming here to Seattle? It's stunning that, of all franchises, MY LITTLE PONY has gained this kind of following.

  23. Blockbuster just filed for bankruptcy. In my opinion, good riddance. I never left a Blockbuster thinking "Man, I'm glad I went there". I always left, shaking and staring at my hands, saying "Wh....what have I done..."

      Eternal Sonata = pretty and cutesy, but dull and repetitive.

      Lost Odyssey = most tedious characters EVER. Seriously could not give a shit.

    3. TEOL

      TEOL

      Eternal Sonata is horrific. Do not play it.

      Lost Odyssey is actually quite good.

      Infinite Undiscovery falls somewhere between those two lines. <_<

    4. mystikz

      mystikz

      I thought Lost Odyssey was pretty good but linear.

      If your looking JRPG's Star Ocean the lost hope was the best I've played for the 360.

      Infinite Undiscovery was all right but I never finished it.
