    Tomorrow's Valentine's Day! What will you be doing?

    Working, watching ultraviolent 80s anime with Glowsquid, hopefully getting some weather data entry done instead of procrastinating all night (like I am right now), and resisting the urge to buy chocolates on sale. So business as usual, in other words.

    What's the weather like outside right now?

    -21 Celsius (-6 F). The 15 min walk home from my friends was not a fun time.

    Super Mario Manga

    No worries, I totally understand about tech / life delays. Anyway, yeah, looks like Mario and Bowser definitely recognize that it's Luigi. Bowser's like "lol, what are you saying, Luigi" and Mario keeps urging him to remember, but he denies it. Tippi also seems to sense that Bleck's changed his...

    Non-English text is distracting: people look at the words and go "huh", instead of paying attention to whatever the image was really depicting. However, if if the image is meant to showcase the non-English text itself, or if it's a manga scan or something unreleased in English, then that's no...

    Manga coverage: Kodansha's Super Mario

    Yeah, I know - you can see it in some of the original trilogy's artworks and in DK64, but I still like keeping an eye out for it in related media. If so, hopefully scans of the magazine/guide-only and the two missing paperbacks will turn up someday.

    Manga coverage: Kodansha's Super Mario

    omg, these are amazing! Thank you so much for saving them and sharing them with us. QFT! Just from a few random perusal, there's confirmation that Prince Pine's name is a reference to Pineapples (since his head's a Pineapple, and his dad's a teapot), artwork showing that Gao from SML are...

    Nesting things will help make header orders consistent: it's easier to remember what's part of what rather than recall the ultimately arbitrary orders of equal-footed sections (as long as the bins make sense, of course). It will also makes using the Tables of Contents easier since then you'd...

    Rick and Morty

    I've read other comments saying they found it funny, and can't take it seriously because it's a jellybean, but I don't see it. Even the cut to Rick singing karaoke in the middle of it just made it feel even more terrible, since it was happening right under his nose and he had no idea - plus, it...

    I actually feel like "Pre-release and unused content" could work as a sub-section of the "Development" section, seeing as scrapped stuff it is a by-product of a game's development. Hell, I'd say "Staff" could be a sub-section too - anything to cut down the main header clutter.

    Rick and Morty

    For "Something Ricked This Way Comes"? Not yet (so not gonna click the spoiler) - I've only seen the first 5 episodes (Pilot, Lawnmower Dog, Anatomy Park, M. Night Shaym-Aliens!, and Meeseeks and Destroy): it'll be over a month until I get to that one (episode 9). But if you meant "Meeseeks and...

    Rick and Morty

    Been watching this on TV since the new year, after being told by numerous folks that I'd love it, and they're right, I DO love it. Every episode gets better and better: it's wonderfully clever and silly and dark all at the same time. It's sooo hard to not go and binge-watch all the episodes, and...

    The creators specifically intended for the film characters to be the inspirations for the game characters in-universe, rather than the movie being a direct retelling of the games featuring the game characters. So the same reason we had to sigh and accept Shigeru Miyamoto's "the Koopalings =/=...

    Yep. I would have done it from the start but I was also working from a computer without script writing abilities. I also actually screwed up one o the words - it should be Tekkyū Dosun, which means "iron ball thump", not iron bridge. (Remind me never to translate stuff while at work again.)...

    Oh right, forgot to include him in my massive post because he doesn't have a page, but I think he should have one - for consistency, and because people might be curious and look for info about the second Luigi: they should be able to come to us, rather than a GameFAQ board or YouTube video. But...

    No, we're merging film characters and keeping Paper characters merged, except the the one game where they are explicitly being depicted as separate characters running around the regular characters, without extrapolating that to say "well, every standalone Paper Mario game must be not the real...

    It was inevitable that we'd have to have a page on the Paper Jam character, but yeah, it should ONLY be about Paper Jam, and I've gutted the page accordingly (haven't bothered rewriting the PJ coverage, however). If someone wants to change the fundamental coverage of the Paper Mario series...

    Very cool, thanks! The Mimi transformation's neat - I like how they kept the gears in her head, and while it's lacking her head spinning around (instead she just shakes it or rips it in half?), but it's kinda funny how they had bits cracking and falling off instead, since that's something I...

    Oh yes please! Character art from the manga is always great to have for the wiki (and for personal interest). Yeah, O'Chunks is definitely regular flesh-and-blood-looking here. Count Bleck, Dimentio and Merlee don't have arms at all in the games, but now I'm wondering if they will here? I guess...

    Super Mario Manga

    I'm so jealous, haha. But yeah, always really interesting to hear how they adapt and condense the RPGs. Cutting out Bowser and the other side characters to focus on the central cast definitely makes sense, as does linking to other games for more continuity. Seeing what they do with the Paper...

    The highfalutin' science way to refer to shovels and spaces is "geotome". And in Europe, "woody debris" is known as "necromass", which is also the name of an Italian black metal band.

    After-school/Extracurricular Activities

    You could still probably just show up and be like "yo I wanna play chess!" and they'd be like "ok", if it's anything like my high school's chess club: they were all about the drop-ins.

    You mean Bullet Bill and Snifit, but yeah, those unsplit articles are definitely a good point - it clearly shows that the bias is towards characters. I'd argue that Iggy could be merged, since him being Koopa's cousin isn't all that different compared to the other changes. Spike (film...

    But it's pointless and inconsistent. The only other things with icons up there are FAs, which isn't actually in-article content, so it makes sense to have the FA symbols hovering outside the article.

    I don't see a problem with them, actually. They serve their function, and pasting screenshots of select dialog or whatever all over the place will look sloppier than just leaving them text-only imo.

    Doctor Who

    This season was mostly 2-parters, with a couple cool guest/recurring characters, and while some episodes were better than others, overall, I think it was better than last season, and Capaldi's probably my favourite Doctor after David Tennant at this point.
