    Research question - Why do people in the West like anime and manga?

    I'm pretty sure that's what it's original purpose was. But it's not like you HAVE to be a girl to enjoy it.

    Marvel Cinematic Universe

    I'm honestly worried that they're milking the Marvel brand for all that it's worth right now. I mean, if they keep up this constant barrage of movies, TV and merchandise, surely people are going to get sick of it, right? The problem with the post-Avengers stuff right now is that it's at its...

    The Official Pokémon Anime and Movie Thread

    OK, honest question, has there been a Pokemon movie that was actually good? Ever? I realised just recently that, although the Pokemon movies are clearly cash-grabs, they're not as bad as other merchandise-driven shows, because the new Pokemon that the movies exist to show off are catchable IN...

    Research question - Why do people in the West like anime and manga?

    Personally, I like it because it's unashamed campiness. It can get over-the-top and ridiculous, and they KNOW it, and they fully embrace it! American cartoons have a very different style, and they generally take themselves a lot more seriously. Also, they're very good at the teenage power...

    I'm assuming Deus Ex Jinora stopped that with her magical light powers or whatever.

    Avatar: The Last Airbender + Legend of Korra

    There's a pretty good one, but it only goes up to the 1st half of the season 1 finale. Probably. But, of course, he'd never do that. Maybe that's what the avatar state is for? I have a headcanon that the previous avatars can forcibly pull the avatar into the spirit world if they're about to do...

    I could just imagine if anyone got to that point in an abridged series, they should make Aang say "all-powerful form my ass!"

    Avatar: The Last Airbender + Legend of Korra

    I still don't understand how Azula was able to attack Aang in the avatar state at the end of Book 2. Shouldn't he have seen it coming and be able to deflect it or something?

    I think they said they found a colony of sky bison in hiding or something afterwards, but, yeah, it was a bit of a cop-out.

    I'm sure they managed to repopulate somehow. Come on, that idea is too cool to not use later on in the series.

    Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

    Gamespot has basically been giving popular Nintendo games low scores on purpose for a while now, so I think they're just trying to get attention.

    What games do you think get too much hate

    See, this is why I think this is stupid 1) Flappy Bird was a free game. You didn't have to pay a cent to play it. 2) That could apply to all iPhone games that are high-score based, like all infinite runners ever. 3) Since when does a game have to 'be a game' for you to enjoy it? Gone Home was...

    What games do you think get too much hate

    In this community, Sticker Star. Don't deny it, you can't even MENTION the game without people going on for 2 pages to talk about why they hate it. And no, I'm not confusing "too much hate" with "legitimate criticism" if anyone wants to argue with me. In general? Skyward Sword, Metroid: Other...

    Wii U

    Actually, another 2D Metroid would be cool. We haven't had one of those since the GBA times. Perhaps we might be getting a new IP? I wish. But that would definitely raise a lot of interest. Especially if it was, say, Miyamoto's next IP. (And can we leave "He changed Sticker Star" out of this...

    Wii U

    I'm getting really annoyed at the people who keep saying the Wii U is going to fail, and Nintendo isn't doing anything to help. Nintendo is a company, and they KNOW the Wii U isn't selling well. No company sees that and DOESN'T do something to fix it. Let's put it this way, if they started...

    NINTENDO NEWS THREAD

    Ah, ok. Although, honestly, Nintendo isn't stupid. They KNOW the Wii U isn't doing well, they've known it for months. They clearly have SOME sort of plan to try and turn their fortunes around. We just don't know what it is.

    NINTENDO NEWS THREAD

    I don't really care about that. Plus, I heard it was basically a glorified Virtual Console advertisement. It's just that the Wii U is lacking in games right now, and it would be great to know that there was something else coming. I guess they're waiting for E3 or something?

    NINTENDO NEWS THREAD

    ...well, that sucked. Where are all the new Wii U games, Nintendo? Seriously, I was waiting for them to say SOMETHING, but all they talked about were the games we already knew. And no Yarn Yoshi, either.

    Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

    Holy crap extra dialogue. I went back to Parfum Palace just because, and one of the rooms has a portrait of the king who built the palace. When I interacted with it it said at the end "It somehow reminds you of AZ." OK, this is definitely exclusive postgame dialogue. That's really cool, actually.

    The Official Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai/Super Thread

    Re: The Official Dragon Ball/Z/GT/Kai Thread I decided to watch DBZ Abridged because why not, and I decided I actually liked it. I also realised I still can't like DBZ. It's just too...manly? I dunno. (I'm a girl, btw). Also, I don't find Goku very compelling as a main character. Does he...

    Frozen (Disney's The Snow Queen adaption)

    Well, I FINALLY got around to seeing this movie. Now excuse me as I sing "Let it Go" for the millionth time. I swear, that song grew on me so much. Also, I was laughing my head off when I found out Idina Menzel also played Nancy in Enchanted.

    Pokemon X and Pokemon Y

    I've finally figured it out. All those secrets (like mentioning you can find Heatran in Jaune Plaza), they're not DLC, but they're not even in the third version. They'll just be released in the Global Link. After all, an NPC in Lumiose Boutique mentions the Discount Coupon before we even knew it...

    The Official Video Game Thread

    I didn't really know where else to put this, so I'm just going to say it here. Say whatever you want about Skyward Sword, but you can't deny that it made you feel like a badass. There were just so many epic moments, and you had almost total control in most of them.

    Sochi 2014

    The Winter Olympics are cool. While they don't have as much variety as the normal Olympics, they have cool stuff like ice-skating, and bobsleds and whatever. Since Australia has almost no snow ever in the whole country, we don't win many medals, which means if someone DOES win a medal it...

    Do you think the Mario Party series needs a reboot?

    They just need to remove all the luck-based gameplay that's defined the newest Mario Party games. Add a bit of strategy to it. Not too much, but enough that I can still beat the computer players by over 3 stars if their AI is set to easy.

    What was the last book you read?

    Going Bovine by Libba Bray. I really recommend it. It's basically a part-fantasy roadtrip adventure novel, with characters such as a punk angel with tattooed wings and a garden gnome who is also a Norse god. Also, the main character is on a quest to save the world and find a cure because he's...

    Does anyone else find the dungeons to be really short? I swear, they feel shorter than the ALTTP dungeons. Although that might just be because I don't get stuck as often.

The Titan's Mitt is found in the Desert Palace, and you can only get there by going through Thieves...

    Does Anyone Else Agree That "Big Bang Theory" Isn't That Funny

    Answer: Yes. It's basically making fun of geek culture using the more extreme stereotypes for comedy appeal. It's like they want people to think "Wow, thank god I'M not like that!"
