Large amounts of hubris and vanity.

Same. I really haven't seen the cartoon, but I'm guessing it's about as decent a conversion from 4-panel to cartoon as Azumanga Daioh was.

Today is the day that I realized I've never ever heard a Hannah Montana song.

I feel pure.

Hi five, my pure friend!

....... Are you okay Chron?

I.

AM.

ALWAYS.

OKAY.

I hate the spelling "cheque". I know it's supposedly more proper since it's derived from French, but it's still a bastardization of the actual word (which is Arabic).

That and it's not phonetically sensible, and if there's one thing I'd LOVE to do to the English language, it's make it phonetically spelled 100% of the time.
I suppose its a forlorn hope, since nobody else cares about simplicity.

Today is a day that is no different from any other day for me.
I have a boring life, at least until I get a job. I did send out my resume to Bethesda Softworks, though. More than likely I won't hear back from them.

(that was the point)*
It's no different from the rest of their asshattery.

*I know you know that.

YOU SHOULD MAKE YOUR BURGERS WITH TUUUUUUUUUUUUUBES.

I never really remember much about my dreams.
Although I faintly remember something from waking up this morning about piloting a blue helicopter with a face on it, dropping socks on a watermelon field, but...
... not sure why. Usually there's a reason for the madness, but I always forget it.

*shrugs* Never have seen any of his other stuff. At least not to my knowledge.
I will give you that this is sort of stupid, but I do enjoy the mad scientist bits.

No, THEY haven't found the parents. Roll still has no idea Joe is her father, and Matilda isn't back to her old self yet. Not for a while.

And once they're off the moon they have to take care of the elder system, which is obviously a grand-scale effort for Carbon reinitialization; something Juno-like entities and the Mother units aren't a part of and have no control over.

... isn't it supposed to be b-rate campy stuff?
I mean, if Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn't supposed to be that...
... what was he trying to do?

You're forgetting two very important things:

#1, Rock and Roll were also searching for Roll's parents. Even though we do know pretty much who they are, we still haven't yet found them.

#2, WE'RE ON THE MOON.
STILL.

If that happens I will destroy you.

I use the SD card to boost the pitiful amount of room on the Wii for save data.

Some cats aren't quite like that, but they have to be fat and lethargic and de-clawed (and maybe almost dead). But there's this one cat I know...
... not only is it like that, it tries to go for your tendons and privates with its razor sharp death claws. Sneaks about like it's hunting you and everything.

So right, since this is a comedy thread, let's all watch an episode of "You Bet Your Life".

Shut your face.
Shin-chan is comedy gold.

Oh. I also have no idea what my least favorite anime character is.
I have trouble remembering anything I dislike.

This puts new meaning into "You Bet Your Life".
in fact i'm going to watch it right now

I hope they never touch Legends.

If Legends gets a new game, Inti will be the ones doing it.  And it will be shoehorned into the AMAZING grandious plot they conceived just like X was.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOO

Well, unless the entire thing is structure so as to nicely flow with the Legends timeline instead of ruin it.
Oh, wait. IntiCreates
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Actually, I think that represents blank disk space for more programs to fit in.
I don't do much with BN, but I believe "battle chips" are just programs.
No idea why you can't make copies of them.

He does look like a goofy, friendly, fat guy.
Good job #1 OK

Hmm. There's something off about each of them.
Not enough structure to the body, I think. Lots of detail on the face, but the body suffers a lot.

Try doing some more realistic body studies, then go back to your own style and see what happens.

He's 15, let him live in his dream world, Mike.

Honda makes a fine car, so I'm sure Speed is happy with this thing.
I used to have an old Accord that was some ten or eleven years old, and only broke due to a rare factory defect that popped a bolt out and jammed it in one of the belts, blowing the engine (just about).

But I was still able to drive it for a mile after it happened. They're tough cars.

My point was that it was at least better than working fast food.
Which I'm sure it is.

Despite never having worked in either business 

Apply now, get money to burn.
Working in groceries can be hard work depending on what they give you.
And by "hard" I mean "lifting lots of cans and placing them on shelves".

That all sounds good and promising.

But where's the Sonic game in it?

I hope they never touch Legends.

... it has been a very long time since I played X8.
I didn't remember all of that crap.

I revamp my statement; X6 is marginally better than X8.

As a computer scientist, I have always failed to understand what DNA data is even supposed to be.

It's like people think data is some sort of tangible thing.

I love all of the name shouting in that thing.
It's still more Duke than you'll ever see.

1. Vile is completely dead in X2 anyway.

2. Zero fans generally turn out to be horrible people.

3. Bragging about having beaten games is not an excuse for poor fan fiction game suggestions. You may have played the games, but I don't think you paid any attention to what little story there is.

Addendum: I don't care to play as Vile, and I generally don't like playing as Zero unless the saber can block bullets. X is a powerhouse of destruction, and always will be. His name is in the title, and I think the focus should remain only on X. It's neat to play from Zero's perspective in some games, but it really just seems like Inafune's whining that he didn't stick with making the games about Zero in the first place and trying to make pitiful attempts to change the games into that.

Which failed, by the way, because Megaman Zero is horrible, and the only part of ZX I actually liked was playing as Model X, which is completely ruined after you do anything else in the game.

If there MUST be another MHX game, it should stick to the old guns, because MMX2 did not need Zero to be playable in order to be a fun or interesting game the first time, and it won't need it the next time. In fact, he should stay out of X3, because I never used him save for stealing his saber in Sigma's stages.

Well, yes and no.
On one hand it seems superficially stupid. It doesn't seem important at first...

... But religion is an extremely important thing to people; conflicts in the way someone believes the world work can separate people, so it does make a lot of sense that they would separate

But that's irrelevant to the discussion.
What are you trying to look at that you need the controls off?

The first one has, more than likely. Not an important thing considering what's required to do it.

The second article didn't seem so bad at first, but then it dumps a couple of extremely sexist comments and tries to smooth it over in the last paragraph or so. I'm curious to know what art is being looked over to buy a goddamn picture of a Campbell soup can.
Aesthetic finery my ass.

The first one is consistently sexist; not hard to see why it would havefend.
There ARE some valid points made here and there, but there are a lot of counterpoints that are either glazed over with false respect or left out entirely.
I have noticed that some women won't laugh at the things men do (not surprising), but I've never met one who hasn't cracked a joke that made me laugh.

I'm looking at you with your avatar right now.

I woke up decent. Then I came across two delightful articles (one titled Why Women Aren't Funny, the other There's Never Been A Great Woman Artist), and now I'm gnashing my teeth in a berserker rage.

whee!

I want to read these.

No. It's because they know most of the fans hate Axl, and having anything Axl like be the main character would automatically bomb the game.

Last Naka Sonic game was that horrendous 360/PS3 one.

Didn't realize that, but then I don't follow them so closely any more out of hatred.

YOU SURE DO, GENIS.


BY THE WAY, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME COFFEE?
I assure you it is nice and hot.

I want a job.
Actually, I just want the money and my own video game series.
But eh.

Children should not disobey their parents without a decent reason. There is a reason wisdom comes with age (this is not to say all parents are wiser than children, but I doubt the opposite is true in kingtrickster's case).

Parental controls and history viewing are a little extreme, and invade the privacy that the parents themselves would have had when they were children.
It is not possible to know what your children are doing all the time, and it should not be. They should be allowed to make their own decisions and mistakes after a certain age. 15 is definitely above that.

On the other hand, the world is filled with stupid teenagers who have too much freedom.

Parental controls are a fine thing, I think, if you really want to be strict (and keep your files safe), but it needs to be backed up by a strict parent; you cannot let machines do what humans should be doing themselves.
On the other hand, viewing browser history is invasive (although this can be circumvented in some instances by the child), and is not a practice I condone.

I suspect that our topic starter's parents are divorced, and this person goes back and forth between each house.
Obviously he is a problem child, for numerous reasons we see laying about the thread.
I wouldn't have been so eager to help him.

I stopped reading after the third paragraph of story, and I wish I could unsee it.

It wasn't really that good.
It was better than X6, but still ridiculous and had Axl in it.

The controls just felt clunky in comparison to the other games, and there's no excuse for it.

What does deoxyribonucleic acid have to do with anything?

Sano ate many mushy muffins, reluctantly consuming poultry trimmings.

Colors in that are nice.
Sort of has an industrial revolution feel to it.

DON'T TEMPT FATE, BOY.

Yes, that works very nicely to keep everyone on the same page and prevent people from saying "But I thought the explosive barrel was on the other side of the room..."

My initial rage retains its form.

WHAT IS NAKA UP TO?
DOES HE THINK THIS IS IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM BETTER THAN THE FIRST SONIC GAME?
Because it isn't, and nothing after Sonic 3 & Knuckles has been.

Nothing.

SONIC THE WHAT?

Quick Man was deliberately programmed by Wily to betray him & save Mega Man in Super Adventure Rockman. Blues was deliberately programmed by Light to run away & disobey. Forte was deliberately programmed by Wily to develop an inferiority complex.

Yup, that all makes perfect sense.

There's a difference between free will and acting on past knowledge.

One is spontaneous and without regard to prior information; gut feelings.
The other is rigorous cause/effect and instinct based decision making.

Protoman's actions do not regard feelings or sensitivities of other people/entities, neither do Quick Man's.

Lackluster, eh?

Go see Rez at the mauling hut for more details.

Tent.  The only thing you can get at a hut is pizza.  In fact, I'll give you a special tour of the Mauling TENT to make sure you remember next time.

I figured you would expand beyond tent.  I mean, not every International House of Pancakes is a house.  Geez, then it'd be monotonous.

And no one likes to get their IHOP pancakes when they all look the same.

Mauling is not a commodity.
There's room enough for everyone in the tent.
