I too couldn't understand what people were seeing in Mutant Mudds after watching the trailers. I even watched a couple of gameplay videos and still didn't get it. Nice to know that I haven't completely lost my mind. It seems decent enough, but I think I'll pass. When you put it like that, it kind of sounds like the only reason you prefer Mutant Mudds over VVVVVV is because it's longer. :p

I already finished it. It's Jimbob you should be tagging.

Happy birthday, Dazzimal. ... Animazz?

I'd probably either watch season 2 of the TV show and then read the second book, and then wait for seasons 3 and 4 of the TV show before reading the third book, and so on - or read all of the books now and enjoy the TV show when there are new episodes. Sounds like you're going to end up reading books 3-5 before the TV show covers them anyway, so I'd probably just read the books first. I've only watched the TV show, and I still can't tell some of the characters apart. There are so many minor characters that all blur together.

Wikipedia has a list over the longest-running American TV shows. The current leader is Meet the Press at 64 years, if anyone's interested. That episode was better than usual, but it doesn't really compare to the actual good episodes of The Simpsons. I read a comparison between the Christmas episode and the episode where Lisa gets married and they made a good point about the jokes being a lot more natural in the latter. Like how Quimby is the taxi driver that drives Lisa and her fiancé home from the airport and we get a few jokes about his situation that way. Meanwhile, in the Christmas episode, Homer and the kids walk off-screen at the Kwik-E-Mart and are suddenly at Burns's mansion, and Homer decides to hurl a rock through a window for no reason (the kids don't react at all). Burns (who must be 150 at this point) yells "release the hounds!" and Smithers pops out from behind a fencepost with a box - I guess he stands there all day? - and pours the remains of the hounds at Homer's feet. Hilarious. But when they produce things like the Lady Gaga episode, the Christmas episode doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

Getting drunk? Sounds like you have a pretty good reason to me. :p That really sucks, but you'll find someone else somewhere down the road! Maybe the next one will be a Nintendo fan.

It looks like a snow globe? Though I guess it could be something else.

That was the first thing I thought when I read the first post in this thread, but I didn't want to bring it up.

No, it wouldn't. Welcome to the wonderful world of region-locking. Edit: Whoops, I keep forgetting this is a DSi-enhanced game and not a 3DS game. Guess there's still a slim chance, then.

Don't worry, Supergrunch, you can use my save game. You romanced Jacob too, right? Mass Effect 3 had my least favorite final mission(s) in the series, but I haven't touched my save games since finishing the game, so I think I'm good.

I'm sure Claire is relieved to hear that sleeping with ReZ doesn't make you a man, at least.

I mean, I assume that you can just load your last save game and that this is just because that's the point where the game creates its DLC save file, but I just think it's cute that they think anyone wants to replay the last ~2 hours just to see the extended ending.

Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario ring a bell?

Maybe your friend just hopes that you're gay, Dazz.

Rocks fall, everybody dies. It would all be Homer's fault, but nobody would care. Because they'd be dead. More realistically, it'd probably just be like any other episode. I think I remember Groening saying at some point that he didn't want to make a "final" episode, so we'd probably end up with something as awful as the Lady Gaga episode as the series finale. Ideally, I'd like them to actually make it as good as The Simpsons was at its peak, but that's probably expecting too much.

I can't stop laughing about the lack of a charger. I hope they stick with that decision just so I can keep imagining the disappointed looks on kids' faces as their parents buy them handhelds that they can't play because they don't come with a charger. In a way, I'm kind of glad this doesn't include a second slide pad, as that's the one thing that would make me feel like I needed to upgrade. Maybe we'll see a regular-sized 3DS Pro a year from now. And then, a year later, a 3DS Pro LL.

It just rolls off the tongue.

It only happens in the manga.

You forgot that Grazza loves Dragon Quest more than life itself.

Why 3Did the chicken cross the road? 2D get to the other side.

I agree with the part where you said that you should be thankful that they're localizing the game at all. It's annoying when games you want get released on a console you don't own, but I'd rather buy a PS3 than learn Japanese. I also agree that acting like a Wii U version would somehow make up for the lack of a DS version makes you seem like an angry little fanboy. :p

I haven't played Rhythm Thief, but there's no way it's as good as the Elite Beat Agents/Ouendan series.

Schrödinger's cat: also known as Jones's baby.

Beats being skepticle, at least.

It's the Japanese name for Gravity Rush. Daft is turning Japanese, I think he's turning Japanese, I really think so.
