His name isn’t Elmer, it’s Emerl.

He fights hedgehogs, not rabbits

I mean he does, Cream was in the game

I can't believe Pokémon Masters EX added a Pokémon as a trainer.

Spoiler: Context

Brycen-Man is a non-playable Pokémon you can battle in B2W2

Something that irks me is that Nate and Rosa had some cool costumes in the PokeStar Studios, yet Masters never bother to add those cool costumes there.
It would be great if they brought Ph.D. Pikachu with scientist Rosa or whatever.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Arlo made a video about AI.

Everything about this whole conversation is depressing

I am starting to wonder if the recent release of Knuckles is getting in the way of getting a Sonic 3 trailer soon.

I am starting to wonder if the recent release of Knuckles is getting in the way of getting a Sonic 3 trailer soon.

Why would it get in the way? They would’ve planned all this stuff a while ago, they can’t get in the way of themselves Any Sonic 3 news would come exactly when it’s supposed to.

Besides, I’ve been seeing mumblings from cinema insiders that we could be seeing a trailer soon. And if Mufasa, a movie coming out on the exact same day as Sonic, can get a trailer the other day I bet it won’t be long now.

I mean Paramount probably doesn't want Sonic 3 taking away attention from Knuckles views

Meh. In two weeks I doubt many people will be talking that much about it. Good time to drop a trailer to keep the hype going.

Any plans from the staff to bring Shrek, Woody Woodpecker, Fast and Furious or Despicable Me?

 

[KillerCage]

I will understand if you guys are not interested since the "incident", but Thrown Controllers Colosseum will be starting this Friday and the schedule has been posted.

Funko tryin to be LEGO smh

the FNaF rep is cool though.

 

[Jondolio]

I think it's pretty wild and very funny how Nintendo chose to make Pikmin's second playable character an unhinged psychopath

 

[TheMightyP]

So that Funko video game really has me curious, who is the target audience for Funkos?

 

[Z25]

Possibly as this is all universal properties.

Freddy Fazbear can team up with M3GAN so that’s pretty sick.

Adults who want to waste the little money they make for nostalgia lol.

 

[HyperSomari64]

But there are some non-Universal frachises like SkyBound, Umbrella Academy.
I would love to see some classic characters like Casper, Felix the Cat, Underdog, Larry the Cucumber, Fievel, Littlefoot and King Kong.

Edit: I forgot that Umbrella academy series was co-produced by Universal

Millennials

 

[Zinith]

I just got a MIDI keyboard and I am way out of practice

 

[Shroob]

Joel, are you making MIDIS again Joel?

 

[cashregister9]

Millennials

Honestly Millennials might still be too broad of a category

It is for Millennials that still use Facebook

 

[Noipoi]

We need a new PokePark

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Congrats, you're about to learn why it's called Crybaby.

(it's named after me when I watched the final episode)

ok yeah I understand why people said to not watch this show…but at the same time it was good and only nearly teared up when Miki died

 

[ZephyrZ]

Tbis sounds like something only a swarm of wasps in a trenchcoat would say...

I'm also not currently in your walls

 

[StormC]

Maybe Luigi is also this way and we just don't know it

 

[Cutie Gwen]

To me, funkos are for like people who unironically say they're multifandom with pride as if liking more than 1 thing is an accomplishment

 

[Jondolio]

Maybe Luigi is also this way and we just don't know it

If Luigi is like that then we have no evidence. With Louie, there was evidence from day one, it always the plan

It's probably not to over saturate as that's about 12 extra alts between the two of them. I could certainly see Rosa selling, Masters I think elevated her character to new highs within the fandom at large. Nate, on the other hand... has kind of become seen as the Yamcha of the fandom.

I am surprised Pikachu Libre hasn't been added yet though. They haven't done anything with Pokemon Contest characters yet, so I could easily see an event with ORAS/BDSP contest outfits.

So that Funko video game really has me curious, who is the target audience for Funkos?

I've always kind of wondered that myself. At the office I've been working for the past 5 years, I've only ever seen Funkos on about two or three desks and they're only for characters like Spider-Man or Dwight from The Office.

I've honestly seen more plushes and Fast Food toys on desks than Funko. Heck, one of my supervisors has a Sailor Moon statue ($$$) on his desk.

At this point, I'm mostly convinced that Funkos as a product are sustanstained by pop culture speculative investors rather than as an organic collectible product. I'm probably wrong though, as why else would Gamestop dedicate half of their shelf space to them. "shrugs"

Well looks like a certain web-slinging superhero made his cameo in the latest episode of X-Men 97. As does Dr. Doom, Baron Zemo, Silver Samurai, Omega Red.

I love getting my company into a massive debt due to my own gluttony and force my coworker to clean up after me after he just survived a near death experience. Classic autistic trait

Good morning, gang

April is over

It's her time to shine

I've been left pretty confused too, like the game looked like your standard family fare at first but then the violence started...

I be like "can't stand funko pop"

But if they ever make funkos of Caitlin or Gabby I be like "me and the bestie"

 

[Jondolio]

Going back to beat all the challenge stages in Pikmin 3 because I have a horrible addiction
