HOW? HOW? AND WHY? WHY? Holy crap, this is alternatively horrible and hilarious. I'm laughing my ass off but I feel kinda bad about it. Some of the stuff is either so weird or so wrong I can't think of another reaction. The Channel 4 thing sent me over the edge and I giggled for quite a while. Thanks, Yufster. You've both made me laugh and made me feel bad about myself. I'm coming to understand that it's a talent you and Ginger share.

I love that this crap keeps popping up despite the complete hijacking that this thread is undergoing. This is quite quickly becoming my favorite thread to come to for a chuckle. I'm actually surprised that there haven't been a bunch of manipulated screenshots from SSBB with Pikachu, Lucario, Jigglypuff, Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard in some kind of crazy orgy yet. I'm pretty sure if they start popping up there'll at least be a story about it on one of the larger blogs. ...And wrt rule 34, my girlfriend was trying to explain the plot of one of her favorite anime to me and ended up google image searching for one of the characters. I'm pretty sure she'll be more careful after what turned up.

Fair enough. I'd been wanting to give it a go on XBLA, but need to wait a bit now until I'm once again employed.

I've been meaning to try this out for a while. What are you playing it on?

I think the one on the bottom is performing "Growl." And most of us who see it are probably performing "Leer" as well, but that would probably vary from person to person.

Is that the breeding or the training? I'm not very well-read in pokemon reproductive strategies.

Everything except for the Thrash Pack and "All the Small Things." I think that makes about 135. That's a lot of songs, but still I welcome more. I need help. Yeah, I've unlocked the endless setlist as well, I just have no one to play through the whole thing with. Boo.

She won't be talking if she's unconscious. I don't recommend it, officially, but you should know your options before diving in.

Don't do it, kids! Warning sign #1: His name is "goodwood" Warning sign #2: He wants to trade pokemon with you. ...It's always best to be informed about the dangers of the internet. Or some such bollocks.

It's actually already come back to bite them in the ass. Quite a few people are leaving right now, meaning they're panicking to find anyone capable of running the projector. Those who haven't left have told me in private that they're planning to leave together two weeks before the Calgary International Film Festival. Given that this theater is one of three in the city that host it, they'll be completely screwed. It's a little petty, how much I'm enjoying this, but karma's a bitch. Besides, there's another theater half the distance from my house that's run entirely by friends of mine. I really don't have a lot to worry about, and these cunts are getting theirs already. That's one of the main reasons I'm not really fussed about suing. EDIT: And congrats on the new iPhone, Yufster. Still not available in Canada, but my iPod touch is very shiny and I understand the phone is the same thing but much shinier.

My friend Cody is in a play pretty soon, and for his part he needs a moustache. The thing is, Cody is 20, blonde, and cannot grow facial hair to save his life. In an attempt to remedy this, his director forbid him to shave that area for 3 months before the show. This show is in early April, and so, as a sign of solidarity, a group of his drinking buddies/soccer teammates (myself included) have pledged to grow moustaches with him to be shaved off around the same time as the play ends its showings. We have decided that it is time to bring about the first annual (!) Moustache March celebration. The rules are simple: 1. Moustaches only. Other forms of facial hair (with the possible exception of sideburns on a case by case basis) are considered cheating. 2. If your moustache is shaved before the end of the month, you owe all of those who did not shave a pint each. The moustaches will remain on our faces until 'Stache Saturday, the first Saturday in April, when we will all go for the biggest, foamiest beers we can get for the sole purpose of having the head get stuck in our moustaches. We considered enlisting the help of several of our lady friends to judge a moustache competition, but determined that those who have beards already would have an unfair head start on those of us who have been clean shaven all our lives and have never tired growing any kind of facial hair before. I'm also 20, (and the youngest in our group by an average of about 2 years) and would probably just end up with a massive neck-beard if I gave up shaving entirely, so I'm not quite sure how this 'stache thing is going to work out. I expect I'll look somewhat like I drive a windowless white van around school zones at 3:30pm every weekday. But this must be done. For SCIENCE! ...So why I am telling this to all of you? Well, why the hell not get more people involved in our incredibly stupid new annual tradition? I'm issuing an open invitation to any thumb who feels like participating. Moustache March does not discriminate. Any race, religion, or gender (if you can) is welcome to join. As I don't expect to see most of you face-to-face, the pint thing is waived. All you need to remember is: Moustaches only, no beards. Here's a "before" photo of me. It's about a month and a half old. (also my facebook photo. Handy way to host images, that.) If people start to go for it, I'll post an after photo at the end of March so you can all see the new paedo-stache in all its (thin, ugly, whispy) glory. If there is a group snap taken at 'Stache Saturday (I doubt it, as most of us don't bother with cameras much) I'll throw that up here too.

Man, if it had been, it'd be one I was proud of. I also wouldn't have had to endure the endless mockery of my girlfriend and sister over the ugliness of my teen-'stache. Picks do not exist though. Beer, on the other hand, will. Just need to wait until Nathan gets back from Ontario.

Unfortunately in Calgary the projectionist's union ceased to exist about 3 years before I became one, so that's out. As for the legal action, it's really not worth it, especially as, the place being a VERY unorganized art-house, it'd mostly be my word (and probably the word of a bunch of employees) against theirs. As I said, with the way the atmosphere had become around there, I don't really mind all that much. Plenty of work out there, and now I can focus on my exams for a bit.

True, unfortunately, the celebration that was supposed to be yesterday night got delayed due to one of the key members of the group having to travel to Ontario because his grandfather had a stroke. I shaved this morning, because otherwise my girlfriend refused to kiss me. I apologize, there will be no pictures. Though I will say that I looked like a complete tool. By the end of the month I looked like a wannabe cop. Bad news. There's a reason she wanted me to shave so bad.

As is my job. My only regret though is that I've been unemployed for almost a week now and I still haven't been drunk and smelly yet. It's something I have to do before I get a new job, just so I can know I've done it.

I got canned for being too liked by the staff because the new higher-ups at work are trying to rule by fear and get rid of the people who don't do that. A week after buying a new iPod Touch. And right before exams hit. Not kidding, told I was an amazing projectionist (something that is getting rarer and rarer these days) but that my management style just wasn't fitting with what they were trying to accomplish. All the work got done, and fast, but people were just laughing and joking around too much while they were doing it. Kinda glad I'm gone if that's what they want to take away from the place.

Been playing it over the past week whenever I got bored. Good fun as a time waster. Well done. Also, (and the reason I'm posting now) I just noticed you got a mention on Kotaku. Grats! Yay for recognition!

Still made by Rare though? Cool, I didn't know this one existed.

Umm... it's not an NES game, but Jetpac? If so, this game is awesome, so to you.

That looks ridiculously awesome. Any time frame for when we'll be able to play it yet?

Hurray, net's back! Got Boston, got joy from it. Although unfortunately, all people ever want to play when I get a group together is Band Quickplay, so no World Tour for me unless I spend a bunch of time convincing people that it can be fun to actually progress in the game. I've had it since mid-December and still hadn't even cleared out a single city completely until tonight. I've had to resort to (dirty as it may sound) Co-oping with myself. Live headset strapped on and guitar in hand, I finished everything in the London setlist tonight, singing on hard and guitar on expert. Kinda fun, but kills the point of it. And I had to do "Run to the Hills" about 4 times. Not that bad when there are 7 songs between each play of it, but whatever. Only failed when playing "Brass in Pocket" 'cause I don't know the words to that one. Could've used some support. Why oh why didn't they have online WT in this one? Anyone else having to resort to things like this to see the entirety of the game? I unlocked the Endless Setlist tonight, but I figure that'll require some night in the summer when I can get a bunch of people together and none of us have to work the next day. No one can bitch about not having their favorite song (from the main setlist, anyway) included.

Damn, hell of an article. Really interesting stuff there, man. Thanks for the heads up. Of course, the title of this thread worried me a bit, but as it wasn't started by Ginger I figured I'd take the chance and see what it was about.

I wouldn't be so angry with it if it hadn't had so much potential, yeah.

Agreed. The game definitely has a lot of potential, and the first 7 or 8 levels certainly show this. They're great fun, have loads of personality, and can be quite amusing and rewarding. Unfortunately, you then hit a wall of death. There's one puzzle, for example, which requires you to fill a giant cup up with water. Your water source is on one end of a bridge and the cup is on the other. Now, it's frustrating enough figuring out how to transport enough water, but to add to this, if you try to cross the bridge more than twice it will collapse, sending you to your death. Also, the goblet you have which would logically be the way to transport liquid does not work. Instead, find yourself/turn an enemy into a hard hat, flip it upside down with the wiimote, and scoop up water in it. What the hell? If you can't intuit all this right away, death. Death. DEATH. FUCKING DEATH. I got through this puzzle, but didn't bother playing any more after it. In short, the game is fun until it decides to fling you against a wall of unintuitive frustrating puzzles and constant death. If you still want to try it, rest assured that unless you have the most bizzare intuitions of any person on the fucking planet, you'll have your work cut out for you and won't be able to finish the game all that quickly.

I played Superstar saga first as well and still loved PiT. Not as much, maybe, but I still thought it was a very charming and fun game. Got a little repetitive towards the end, maybe, but I still finished it with a smile on my face.
