Yes. The sensor bar is only used for Wiimotes. Besides, all it does is emit two points of infrared light for the camera in the Wiimote to orient itself by.

Personally I find that the gamepad motion controls are the ideal way to aim in Zelda. I use the stick for big sweeping motions like turning all the way around, but the motion controls are subtle and tailor-made for fine aiming.

See the slot in the side of the part of the black piece where the red pin is being inserted? You could stick a knife or a pin in there to catch on the notch in the pin and drag it out that way with minimal to no damage.

Some of the final levels of that game are absolute motherfuckers. Protip: You'll want to go back to 3-1 to Collect Tanooki Leaves and either 1-1 or Mushroom-2 to collect Bells as often as possible since those two powerups are invaluable.

Welp. That's it. This Miiverse post is clearly the high point of my life. It's all downhill from here.

I'm not sure what you're implying there, but I know from having stupidly done the same thing by accident when I was a kid that there's no way to get those pieces apart without either breaking at least one of the parts or very careful use of an outside tool like an x-acto knife.. When the red pin in step one goes into the hole, it's in a space that is exactly its full depth with no way to either push or pull it out from either side, locking both the red pin and the red axle extension in place (note: the red axle extension has a wall in the middle, so the pin can't pass all the way through). The haven't used that big Bohrok Head piece since 2008, and I imagine it's because it's one of the very few bricks that can get permanently stuck like that. .

There's no way to get those pieces apart once they're together.

Thank fucking goodness. When he says "obstacles," I hope Aonuma means "giant-ass Wii remote overlay onscreen at all times that you weren't allowed to turn off until several hours into the game."

It's a subtle kind of hell.

Oh yeah! DMP is running another Kickstarter to publish another Tezuka book. This time it's Captain Ken, a space western from 1960 about humans colonizing Mars with a heavy dose of Native American genocide metaphor. Plus DMP's been really good about producing quality work in a reasonable timeframe when it comes to their other Tezuka Kickstarters, so this seems like a really sure bet, unlike that unfortunate last Tezuka Kickstarter.

Killing a prostitute in GTA should work like attacking a Cuckoo in Zelda.

Suggested title: "Boundless Optimism Meets an Uncaring Universe"

Really good episode. One of the most surreal, fun ones in a long time.

There's four worlds after that. 10 levels in the first, 8 in the second, 12 in the third, and 3 in the finale (including Captain Toad and Mystery House levels, but not Sprixie Houses).

I wasn't aware of the first point and was conflating multiple events regarding that second instance; my fault, sorry. He's still made plenty of casual use of slurs outside of that one instance though (see also his use of the t-word twice entirely as an insult in one of those responses). And in either case I don't think it does much to mitigate his continuing history of being a complete asshole to way too many people. I really, really don't like getting into arguments with people, so I'd rather not get into it myself. But people excusing Dan Savage for horrible shit that they are in no position to excuse is one of my biggest pet peeves.

I got it sorted out already; thanks.

Dan Savage is a gay icon whose role is almost solely to make straight people to feel better about themselves. I could go on about my problems with "it gets better" and how the movement gets propped up by politicians and educators because it's easier to tell LGBT youth to Deal With It /shades than it is to actually make things better for them in the here and now like they were changing their fucking Facebook profile image to an equals sign, or how he's notorious for tossing around slurs even while doing motivational speeches at schools, but I think I'll save myself the trouble and let Savage speak for himself on this one. Dan Savage tells reader to drug his wife so that he can have sex with her in her sleep despite her clear lack of consent while asleep: Dan Savage responds to criticism from rape survivor in response to above: Dan Savage responds a sexual assault victim who is uncomfortable with having sex with her husband: Dan Savage responds to reader whose HIV-positive former partner is undergoing SRS and worried about how it's affecting her son: personal note: I get that this really is hard on the kid, but you wouldn't tell anyone else with any other sort of mental health issue to avoid treatment because it might embarrass their kid. Dan Savage is also hella fucking racist: And doesn't have the nicest things to say about bisexual or asexual people either. tl;dr: Dan Savage is an LGBTQ icon just so long as you're not B, T, or most of L or Q. And white.

It's the "Everything Under the Sum" badge for mathematics.

Gaming Towel. Oh yeah, Tanukitsune, be sure to check out the Deluxe Digital Promotion. Deluxe Wii U owners get a 10% credit rebate for everything they get in the Wii U eshop (including games that they get for free through other promotions), and I'm pretty sure that includes Europe as well. It's a limited time thing that started when the console launched and ends in December, so act fast.

Do you mind? I'm really not having a good day.

Someone mentioned Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time earlier in the thread. Just wanted to pop in and mention that I've also seen that show, and liked it a lot. I really appreciate that you pretty much never learn anything about Seki besides his penchant for slacking off by way of increasingly stupid and elaborate bullshit. Also, it's one of the few times when I've watched something in a foreign language and felt really cheesed off because I recognize a phrase in the original language and know it isn't being translated correctly. You can't fool me, Crunchyroll! I know the series is really called My Neighbour Seki-Kun! I've seen Totoro and Seinfeld!

You're not missing anything.

And now it's gone.

this was a terrible idea

It's short and pretty fun, and you unlock Zombie Gat as a homie; outfits for the blowup doll, toilet, and STAG soldier; and a hella dope black and gold version of the F-69 VTOL.
