[nudemacusers]

sure, but rewatching bobby's world with my son was a trip. as a 12 year old I had no idea how ugly as fuck that show was 

[nudemacusers]

also I just let my dogs back in the house and my little sweet dog was hiding a shredded bird carcass in her mouth and she just dropped it at my feet.

[Tasty]

I get a nostalgic/heartwarming kick out of the single player of Pokemon but I know that doesn't apply to everyone.

[Himu]

it's either a gift or he's teaching you how to hunt!

[SpeedStats]

Bobby's World was the only thing on at 7 AM and that's why I watched it.  If I had choices, I would've watched something else.

Luckily Batman TAS was on at 7:30.

Fuck, they don't make stuff like Batman TAS anymore.

[Himu]

avatar is pretty good. not when it's doing stupid romance shit, though.

[nudemacusers]

i'm assuming gift. we also have a ton of rabbits in our yard, and while they have dug an escape hole to run away, I fully expect to find them tossing an almost-dead one to each other one of these nights.

avatar is pretty good. not when it's doing stupid romance shit, though.

I've seen maybe 5 episodes of Korra and they were all right. 

Never seen Avatar outside of a few hours of the Shyamalan movie, which I take to be akin to the Hollywood DBZ movie with the guy from Buffy playing Piccolo.

[Tasty]

Avatar's great. That season two finale was some hype shit, let me tell you.

Korra... doesn't measure up at all, but I quit after the first season.

first one is great. haven't seen korra since season 1 but i hear it's picked up.

[nudemacusers]

haha that avatar movie. i know nothing about the show and it was awful. our group of dudes use to have a movie night, where someone would get to pick a movie (usually something beyond awful, I don't think we ever picked something remotely decent) and we all had to dealwithit* and watch; so we all decided to annoy a friend who was a huge fan of the show by picking that abomination. I think every aspect of that movie pissed him off

[Himu]

is the avatar  movie good when  high

[Kara]

god help me for what i am about to do

actually, andy, the marriage thing isn't false.  it was buffed out in the english translation for obvious squick reasons, but in japanese, it says clear as day:

"ひとと　けっこんした　ポケモンがいた
ポケモンと　けっこんした　ひとがいた
むかしは　ひとも　ポケモンも おなじだったから　ふつうのことだった"

which means:

"People used to marry Pokemon
Pokemon used to marry people
In older times, because people and Pokemon were the same, this was a normal thing"

brb shooting self

I'll be talking to my fellow women co-workers about wine, food, aesthetics/design, and exotic cultures.  I mean sure, everyone thinks I'm gay but I'm secure enough in my heterosexuality not to care.

[nudemacusers]

never watched it high, but I would say no, it's just an ugly (seriously, it's weirdly drab and shot strangely) boring movie.

however, bucky larson is a mindtrip in and of itself, no drugs necessary. it's a great hang out and watch movie. you'll be asking yourself 'who greenlit this' every 5 minutes.

[Himu]

I know it sucks. I saw it. But is it good when high? I think it might be.

I'm going to try it out some time when I'm not swamped with SHOULD BE ILLEGAL drug tests for work.

[Himu]

I'm not talking bout Cameron. I'm talking TLA.

The marriage thing is false.

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Sinnoh_myths

There once were Pokémon that
became very close to humans.
There once were humans and Pokémon
that ate together at the same table.
It was a time when there existed no
differences to distinguish the two.

In the literal translation of Sinnoh Folk Story 3, the myth originally referred to Pokémon and people marrying each other.

"No differences" is metaphorical, it basically describes some kind of past utopian society where Pokemon and humans were equals.

This is like when people misquote the Bible to prove a point, except that this time it's furries.

As to the question, it depends on what is meant by "people." I think Mewtwo, Meowth, etc. prove they can be just as sentient as people. But they're not "people" in the sense that they not homo sapiens. And obviously, whatever genetic trait that allows them to be caught in Pokeballs isn't present in humans.

Are you sure that's not supposed to mean:

"People used to marry Pokemon" in like... a sermon sense? Two Pokemon getting married by a human. Vice-versa or something?

Just seems weird the way they word it like that. I guess it's to make the Japanese wording easy for kids to read if that's the case, but damn...

lol how did I miss this pokemon marriage stuff.

oscar i still love you, it's ok.

No. Ke'konshita literally means to marry in a past tense.

I didn't actually read Anna Karenina until I was in my mid-20s.

But more or less, yeah.

[nudemacusers]

speaking of, I remember not being allowed to get a genesis because naming a console after a book in the bible was sacrilegious. not even joking.

If only it was Mega Drive here, then you could be very concerned about Sonic's eye color too.

[larrydavid]

i liked the very first season of the pokemon cartoon show and that's it (the game was terrible though). however, there are like fifty leven other cartoon shows from the 90s i would take over pokemon.

[nudemacusers]

i just wanted to play sonic 

also couldn't play magic the gathering for obvious reasons. same with pokemon. also had to stop watching ds9 after 'the kiss'.

Putting the N64 and GC controllers on a top ten list. Fuck off Gametrailers.

[Squiddy]

Those controllers were great even if they had questionable button elements.

[Steve Youngblood]

The N64 controller can die in a fire, but I love the GC controller. I hope the adapter they're releasing for Smash will allow me to use it for more games than just Smash Bros.

[nudemacusers]

64 controller was terrible, gc was awesome. i'd have to give it to microsoft tho, haven't messed with the one yet but the 360 and slim og xbox controller were pretty, pretty, pretty good.

[headwalk]

the n64 stick actually had a way larger throw than almost any analogue stick since, the shaft was like a pine needle, pretty tall and had a lot of room to move around.

it was scritchy as all hell due to its grinding ball joint, but had a lot more resolution to offer than the fat, stubby sticks that everyone uses today.

[Steve Youngblood]

The analog stick itself was fine aside from the fact that it had a tendency to wear down over time. I think I had to replace three or four controllers over time because the stick's natural center would just have more Andorra give over time to the point where the controller would become effectively useless.

[Himu]

Any list that has n64/gc controllers is biased and shit.

The best controllers, and not in this order are:

Saturn/genesis 6 button 2d controller. Full stop.
Dual shock 1.
Xbox S controller.
Xbox 360, all upgrades and revisions.
Wiimote, depending on the game. 2d games were fantastic with it.
Super Nintendo.

[Himu]

The second stick and dpad are awful though the ergonomics are great.

[Himu]

Holy shit.

GC controller is top notch.  Too bad there's barely anything worth playing with one.

GameCube has maybe ten games worth playing and now that REmake is now being ported - finally - that number is probably down to 8 now.
