A character trait that has been pretty consistent with the main series Sonic is that he has too much willpower for his mind to be messed with.

Like how in Sonic Unleashed, Dark Gaia's influence only got as far as transforming him into the Werehog and didn't cause him to lose himself the way other citizens of the planet did.

Or in Sonic Chronicles the Dark Brotherhood when the party faced off against a race of mind controlling aliens from another dimension. They were able to mind control most of the party, but not Sonic. So yeah, Sonic has such high willpower that mind control doesn't work on him.

Which makes it all the more weird that the one and only exception that was actually able to mentally manipulate Sonic is the final boss of Sonic Rivals 2. Unless games I haven't played yet like Frontiers had moments like this as well.

So do these rumors that Microsoft might stop making consoles have any decent basis to them?

Say that Smash starts adding non-video game characters and one of them is a Yu-gi-oh character.

The dubs of the various Yu-gi-oh Anime always change the soundtracks so would the Yu-gi-oh character have a different victory theme in the US version of this Smash game than they would in the Japanese version?

Scenario:

They make Chocobo a playable character in Smash and each of his 4 specials is one of the character abilities in the original Chocobo Racing.

That means the options are:
Dash
Flap
Grip-Up
Mug
Magic Plus
Barrier
Receive
Charge
Megaflare
Gunblade

Which ability do you choose for each special?

What the next big main series Zelda game will be like is a curiosity, but I hope they not only keep the cooking mechanic, but add more ingredients to it.

I’d love to seem them add Chocolate and Potatoes, and I will keep mentioning the idea of a postgame where you can make Ganon Bacon until they actually do it.

One of the weirdest things for me to look back on is the era when YouTube didn’t allow people to upload videos longer than 10 minutes.

I recently heard an idea for Geno’s Final Smash being a brand new triple move that debuts in Smash used by Geno, Mallow and Johnny Jones.

And thinking of that idea a little further on my own. Johnny has access to two magic spells. The Fire Saber and the Diamond Saw. So with that in mind.

Idea 1: Geno calls forth two giant stars that Mallow freezes into snowflakes and Johnny launches those frozen stars in the same manner as the Diamond Saw spell.

Idea 2: Geno and Mallow gather the heat of a star (Geno) and the heat of the sun (Mallow) into a condensed beam that Johnny strikes the opponent with in the same manner as the Fire Saber Spell.

I don't make videos very often, but I just re-downloaded the software I've used for years whenever I do try to make some, one that I have to pay a monthly subscription for to remove watermarks mind you, and apparently in the time I've been gone it's implemented options to use Ai for things like Background Removal, Image Generation, and Voice Changing.

That's a bit of a sweat drop type of revelation. Not going to lie. Not like I'll ever make use of such features though.

Remember those “literal lyrics” videos? Like the one from years ago about the opening song for Brawl?

Out of sheer curiosity have those died off because both makers and viewers of those sort of videos started to feel like they were racist?

Would Booster from Super Mario RPG be a good Echo Fighter for Wario?

You know how a number of fighting games have a reputation of having super cheap final bosses?

Well how about this? A One Punch Man fighting game where Saitama is not a playable character. He's instead the final boss and if he hits you with just one attack, no matter what attack it is, then you instantly lose.

There’s this Disney Channel Cartoon called Dave the Barbarian where in one episode a tailor from 1994 finds a way to go back in time and does just that in an attempt to conquer the world by using the advanced modern technology of his time back in medieval times.

And he actually succeeds in enslaving the people to build him an empire with a Sphinx of Gold, a version of Mount Rushmore dedicated to him, an 18 hole golf course, and a pyramid with one of those switches that garbage cans have where you press the switch with your foot to open the lid.

How did he enslave the people to do all this? He got the medieval era obsessed with the Gameboy and made it so that he was the only provider of batteries. So when someone’s gameboy ran out of power they had to do this sort of labor for his empire to earn batteries.

Getting woken up late at night when you’re trying to sleep can be annoying, but one moment I had of that where I actually look back at the memory fondly was this one time at 10:00pm a few years ago when my younger sibling in their mid 20’s texted me and asked me “What’s a Bowsette?”

Youtube just recommended me a video by Tats TopVideos of Top 20 Creepy Music in platforming games.

The thumbnail had Mario, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Conker, and Banjo & Kazooie on it. And the way they're positioned on the thumbnail made the initial glance cause my brain to think it was the roster of Mario RPG but with those characters instead.

Now I have the idea of a game that plays like Mario RPG, but with those 5 characters as you're party throughout the game. A very curious thought, that's for sure.

Which Dessert sounds the best?

A 4 tiered pound cake made with Marzipan, Mascarpone, and Meringue
A giant plate of Eclairs
A city model made of Donuts
A life sized Moose made of Chocolate Mousse

Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have been the 3 console makers for years now and that's probably not going to change any time soon. But some attempts have been made at other consoles. Most of which ended in disaster like the Ouya and whatever the heck that weirdo Soulja Boy tried to do.

But here's an idea someone could try with a new console that would result in it being an even bigger failure than those. They could take a page from the ColecoVision and make an expansion module that you can connect to the console and let's you play games of an entirely different console on this one.

Whether they do that for Xbox, Playstation, whatever system Nintendo has at the time, or dare I say more than one of those examples, whoever would try to pull this stunt would be in such deep trouble that you'd be able to dig to the Earth's Core before you dug that deep.

therunawayguys just posted the newest episode of their Kirby Star Allies LP and Chuggaaconroy was talking about how Sonic X wasn't that biggest sensation in Japan but was a big hit everywhere else which led to the Metarex Saga actually being a result of 4kids pushing for another season while Japan was content with just letting Sonic X get cancelled.

While listening to that, I was immediately reminded of Wario Wario Wario.

I feel like I’m not someone who’s qualified to try and get people to debate on which one is better between McDonald’s and Burger King.

Once it becomes out in the open that I always get my hamburgers plain, aka meat and buns only, both sides of the argument would just reach a truce to shun me.

Back when the Smash series Rosalina Amiibo first came out, I had heard a story that some guy who really hated Rosalina bought every one of those Amiibo that he possibly could (something like that anyway) because he didn’t want Rosalina fans to be happy by having an amiibo of her.

Did this actually happen? I won’t lie, I’m skeptical.

Which game is better?

Super Mario Crossover or Abobo's Big Adventure?

I read an article on Mario back when I first discovered Wikipedia and it mentioned how the Mario franchise makes a lot of money. Saying that at the time it had a net of over a billion dollars.

But this was mentioned on an article for the character of Mario, which combined with the internet still being pretty new at the time, especially for me, I thought that the article meant that the Mario character earned a net of over a billion dollars from being the owner of the only toy company in the Mushroom Kingdom (Mario vs. Donkey Kong is what caused me to think this).

I've long since realized what the article meant, but it's an amusing moment to look back on.

The Switch has received a lot of praise for it's ability to be either a home console or a handheld. And that feature led to me having a pretty rare, but pretty cool, experience with the system once.

I was playing my Switch on the TV at night, but it was really windy outside and lo and behold, the wind did knock over something that cut the power in the area.

If you were playing a GameCube or something like that, this would mean the game stops because the system shuts off from no power. Which BTW would really suck in situations like playing Pokemon Colosseum and it's been like an hour since the last time you had access to a PC in the game.

But since the Switch's handheld part is the system itself, when the power went out this night it just switched to handheld mode and my game kept going like nothing happened. Was pretty neat.

Back when Screwattack was a thing they had some enjoyable videos, but every once in a while they said a few eyebrow raising things.

Like when they made a top 10 about the worst robot masters in Mega Man they put Splash Woman on the list because "she's the only female robot master in the series yet she's the easiest boss in Mega Man 9 which implies that women are inferior to men."

From my perspective this argument falls flat because I think Galaxy Man is a much easier boss than Splash Woman.

Way back when, the Cartoon Network website had this browser game based on Kids Next Door called Operation Trick or Treat, and it used basic ideas of Halloween costumes like a Witch and a Vampire to grant your character different abilities.

Thanks to that game, I’ve had an opinion for a very long time that a 2d Platformer themed around Halloween that used costumes as power ups would at least be a neat concept.

Which makes it feel a little weird to me that the closest thing we’ve gotten to that is the Costume Quest games. Which are RPG’s.

One time on Discord I was in a conversation about Richter Belmont and one of the other people involved misspelled Richters name, to which another user replied with “his ass cannot spell”.

I replied to that by saying “I mean, Richter was never a mage in the first place. So it’s not too surprising that his butt can’t perform magic.”

It was funny at the time, but a realization about that statement recently dawned on me.

I haven’t seen Castlevania Nocturne yet (that’s the name of the Netflix series with Richter right?) so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the case that Richter is actually pretty adept at magic in that show?

Casual reminder that the same 4kids dub that censored beer by turning it into hot sauce also left an abundance of gambling themes large enough to fill an entire episode completely untouched.

Legitimate question. When it came time for the developers who made Fortnite to give the game a name, did they know that “fort night” is a term that refers to a period of 14 days?

As I already mentioned, I saw the Sonic movie for the first time yesterday. But now that I’ve had enough time to take it all in and process it, if I’m being honest, I don’t think I care for it.

It wasn’t an aggravating experience to sit through it or anything, and it is a good movie for what it goes for, it’s just not for me.

I might see the 2nd one someday but I’m not entirely sure right now.

So about this whole entering of public domain for you know who, I gotta ask.

I heard that it's only Steamboat Willie who has entered public domain and that Mickey Mouse is still a Disney Copyright.

Is that actually how it works? On the one hand that could make sense for some kind of "differing brand names" reason, but on the other hand it would be kind of weird because aren't they still the same character?

Saw the Sonic movie for the first time ever tonight (only the 1st of the 2) and I gotta say I was impressed with Tom's wife. When Tom was in a really bad situation that painted an equally bad picture of himself, she gave him a chance to explain and didn't just automatically assume the worst in him.

I appreciate it when media portrays partners as being trusting and faithful like that without abandoning their significant other at the first sign of a bad situation. So props to her for that.

Even if her sister was the exact opposite in a way that made her the only bad part of the movie.

Smash Speculation about Waluigi would have been very different over the years if Psycho Waluigi was actually an official game.

What if the way they decide to reboot Smash Bros is by making the starting game in such a reboot have a roster like what they wanted Smash 64 to initially have now that restrictions like animations for Pits wings or Fire Emblem not having any presence outside of Japan are no longer a concern?

Did you know that Knuckles the Echidna shares his first name with a pig from an early to mid 2000’s Disney cartoon who’s uncle wants him to be a dark lord of evil but he wants to be Santa Claus instead?

Some people want the next Mario Kart game to be called Mario Kart 10 so that Tour is officially acknowledged as Mario Kart 9.

But what if, because of the two Mario Kart Arcade games, they call the next one Mario Kart 12 instead?

I know a few people here (or at least WaWaWa) didn’t particularly like the design of WaPeach when it was first revealed.

I raised an eyebrow when I saw the design too, but seeing it in action through fan comics and fan animations has warmed me up to it. Seeing personality and antics on display does the design a lot more justice than a single still image.

3DS games making use of the systems microphone are often frowned upon for being hard to get functioning right, but would you believe me if I told you that what I consider to be hands down the most ridiculous use of the 3DS mic is also one of the more well developed uses of it?

The game in question is Azure Striker Gunvolt 2. The storyline of that overall series revolves around a girl with a special ability to enhance other people’s special abilities by singing. And in this represented in the game as a super mode where she appears and starts singing to Gunvolt to give him a power up while you’re playing the game.

But when you get to the final boss she gets separated from GV and is only able to leave behind small remnants of her power within him. Which, in order to damage the final boss, the player has to have Gunvolt channel this power by singing one of the girls songs into the 3DS microphone. No, I am not kidding.

Thankfully the mic just needs to detect noise coming into it for you to be able to damage the final boss. So you could just go “aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh” into the microphone and it would lead to the same result.

You know, Four Swords Misadventures may be a fan-made parody focused on comedy, but it introduced a damn good idea for a mechanic in a Zelda game.

Using the Ocarina to summon a super powerful cucco to attack the enemies. Absolutely brilliant.

I just had the funniest realization about Yu-gi-oh Vrains.

So the plot of that show revolves around six beings known as an Ignis. An Ignis is an Ai with free will.

They were “created” by humans. I’m putting created and create in quotes to emphasize them. That will be important later.

Those who created the Ignis eventually decided it was a mistake to do so. So they tried to destroy the Ignis.

The Ignis eventually decided to try and destroy humanity in response to that. But up until that point they just wanted to live peacefully in cyberspace and “create” the Cyberse-Type Monsters featured in the Yu-gi-oh Card Game. Which means those monsters have to be DRAWN onto the cards.

Have you figured it out yet? The plot of Yu-gi-oh Vrains is basically a war between Ai Art and Human Art.

Super Mario Bros. Z is a childhood newgrounds classic for a lot of people. But around the timeframe that the original 8 episodes were airing there was a Zelda parody series on newgrounds that I always sort of associated as being in part of a duo with Super Mario Bros. Z. Similar to how people loosely associate Mario and Zelda as being a duo in a few ways.

It’s called Four Swords Misadventures and it’s more of a comedy focused series as opposed to Super Mario Bros. Z being more about action.

You can still find it on the YouTube channel of its original creator HadoukenDude (known nowadays as VicHD) but keep in mind that it’s a web parody from the mid-2000’s. So I can’t guarantee that you’ll think it’s aged well.

Wait.....if Mallow grew up in that swamp, doesn't that make him a Marsh Mallow?
