  1. All bubble-blowing babies will be beaten senseless by every able-bodied patron in the bar.

  2. I remember watching this movie as a kid. I should note that I'm talking about the first one, not Sponge out of Water. If I'm not mistaken, this movie was received well by Spongebob fans, but it does mark the point where Spongebob episodes started losing quality. I recently rewatched it, and I gotta say, I think its a good movie. Its... stupid. That's no surprise, as it is Spongebob after all. That's actually the reason I like it so much. It's cheesy, but not tasteless, although some innuendo (e. g. "Turn you into men") slipped past the censors. But the biggest reason I liked this movie is the message. Throughout the movie, Spongebob and Patrick are often forced to face the fact that they are, in fact, kids. This is probably something that kids who were paying attention can identify with. The whole message of the film was that your label doesn't exactly define you. Just because you are a "kid" doesn't mean you can't have courage. Just because you are a kid doesn't mean you can't do things out of this world. The very fact that Spongebob and Patrick went on this dangerous quest and faced things that probably would have scared Squidward and Mr. Krabs strongly support this message. They faced these things, even though they were kids. This is actually something that a lot of Parents and Teachers in the real world have trouble teaching. They say it, of course, but they can't really back it up. I honestly think that this movie is something that children should see. It presents a great message, and there is plenty of Spongebob humor to keep the story engaging. For me, the Spongebob humor was entertaining, and the message was heartwarming (And was constantly backed up by the damn film, unlike a certain film that came out in 2017...). My only complaint is Mindy's voice actor. I don't remember who she was, but Mindy's voice acting was pretty weak. 8/10. Not Flawless, but Still something that people should watch. I do understand that people might get tired out by the Spongebob humor going for 90 minutes. In fact, for me, if that was all there was to it, it probably would have been a 3/10. But the message and the actual Character Development is there to go along with the humor, making it fun to watch. This could have been a cheap film that just cashed in on the popularity of the Show. But it turned out better than the entire DC cinematic universe. In terms of going from Cartoon to Movie, I'm glad that it didn't share the same fate as Avatar: The Last Airbender.
  3. Debug Mode, obviously. You should know that better than anyone, as you are the one who creates those modpacks.
  4. I also feel bad for the poor kid who grew up playing Ace Attorney.

     

    He studied hard in high school so that he could go to law school and become a lawyer, just like his hero, Pheonix Wright.

     

    Then he learns the hard way that Real Courtroom cases aren't that over the top and ridiculous.

  5. I still can't believe that Pheonix Wright isn't in Smash yet.

      Des Teto

      I struggle to imagine what could be his gameplay. What do you think?

    2. ShadeStrider

      ShadeStrider

      He was in Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. Sakurai could take some pointers from them.

  6. The First Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc was better than Danganronpa 2.

     

    The Second really didn’t capture the same mysterious atmosphere as the first. Gameplay is better, but the overall Story of the first was better.

     

    I also like the fact that the Main Character in the first game is initially nervous about being ordinary in a sea of talented people. Then he goes to the school and realizes that he isn’t as below everyone as he initially thought. I mean, he does demonstrate that he is a more intelligent life form than more than half of his class.

     

    This series reminds me a lot about Persona, actually. Maybe it’s the overall aesthetics. Or the fact that Persona is a Turn Based RPG mixed with Visual Novel Elements. And the Weird plot elements involving Mature topics are prevalent.

  7.  

    I honestly think the First Tier of Dancing Mad is the best part of the song. It gives that sense that you are facing something oppressive, a final obstacle to get past. 

     

    The Entirety of Dancing Mad is great, but it's the First Tier that really sets the mood for this fight.

  8. My God, I would love to be a Persona protagonist.

     

    Fighting demons in the night, getting a lot of friends and activities in the day. I may think that High School Popularity is a dumb concept, but being popular means that I can just... not care about it, making the position seem pointless.

     

    And I'd ace every exam just by increasing that coveted "Academics" Stat.

     

    The only downside would be that It would be in Japan, so I'd have to endure "Weaboo talk" if everyone communicated to me in English. But then again, I'd probably have to be born in Japan, which means I'd know the language and it wouldn't seem as weird to me.

  9. I need to learn how to write.

     

    I can point out why a story is badly written, but I can't actually write one myself. I want to fix that.

     

    I tried to write some dialogue for an RPG, and I'm horrified by how cringe-worthy and terrible it was.

    1. Yahen

      Yahen

      Don't be mean to yourself! Give it a go even knowing it is bad, ya learn by making mistakes o/

      Also, Yahy needs to learn how to write too.

    2. Candy

      Candy

      Well ya got at least half of what constitutes a good writer (reading and critiquing). I suck at both halves rip so maybe shouldn't give advice but I'd say writing a lot should be good practice 😛

  10. I’m just looking at this game because I want to play Persona 5, and would like an enhanced version for the Switch rather than th PS3 one. Until then, Persona 3 it is.
  11. Use Magicite. She can use magic, and the best way to fight magic is with other magic, right? Oh wait, wrong Terra.
  12. The Pokemon Anime was at it's best in XYZ, where it went full on Shonen.

     

    Why can't we go back to that? Sun and Moon wasn't awful, but I liked the Pokemon anime better when it was full on shonen.

      ^I like Hoenn and Sinnoh a lot, BW killed it for me and then competitive killed Pokémon entirely so I haven't gotten around to the xy and sm series yet

       

      Hopefully xyz ends up being something I like, since I quite like the gen 6 games

    3. Wolfox

      Wolfox

      Sinnoh was great too, iirc that where the Pokémon company decided to take over the dubbing from 4kids. the Unova anime was widely considered bad

    4. Candy

      I think xyz was fine as hecc! I wish they'd gone that direction for BW too since the games would've benefited from a better anime x(

  13. So, 2019 is here, and at the end of this year will come a new Star Wars movie...

     

     

     

    Is anyone... really interested in seeing this one? I think the hype for this movie died down in late 2017

    1. CrossImpact

      CrossImpact

      I hope Disney will get a strong message.
      They managed to create a timeline in which I haven't see a Star Wars movie (Solo) - unthinkable if you had asked me before The Last Jedi.

      Unless a good friend of mine and I decide to go in for the laughs and despair, this one will be the second.

    2. ShadeStrider

      I don't think it will be that kind of movie where you can laugh at its incompetence. I think it will be the kind of movie where you go in if you still care, and just get your heart torn apart over and over (and NOT in an emotional way that makes the film look good) by the various narrative failings, bad jokes, boring characters, and poorly paced plot. 

       

       

      However, It may still turn out to be the best of this trilogy, even if it isn't saying much.

  14. This is my first Persona game. Instead of Last Name: Arisato First Name: Minato or Last Name: Yuki First Name: Makoto I went with Last Name: Strife First Name: Cloud Weather Names are Awesome. This game is sort of a mix between a Visual Novel, and Turn-Based RPG gameplay. It's a great Combination. It's actually a pretty good game, a few hours in. But to be honest, It does start off kinda Slow. You don't get your first taste of combat until a few days in. After that, you have to wait a few days before finally getting to Tartarus and enjoying the combat. Even then, that time is limited. I do however think that this is one of those games that appeals to the... Weaboos... of Society. Why do they use Japanese Honorifics like san and senpai in an English Dub? I question my life's decisions every time I hear that. A lot of anime I watch don't do that. Danganronpa (at least the first game) wasn't this weaboo... or was it? Actually, I don't remember, It's been a while since I played the game. You literally have to commit suicide in order to summon your Persona. That's Dark... But Possibly not as Dark as other games in the Megami Tensei franchise. If only Staying up and Studying was as easy in real life as it is in Persona... Then my life might actually take a decent turn. In fact, deep down, I think all of us want to be a Persona Protagonist. School Popularity (Kind of a dumb concept, but hey, at least you have friends. Even High School me thought so.), and Being really good at school (because staying up and choosing to study is as easy as choosing to, unless you are sick or tired). And on top of that, you actually get to have a real adventure full of danger and fighting. That's stuff that I can only experience through Martial Arts Classes and Video Games... sort of like this one. So far, as of 4/30/2009 (in game, of course), It's good.
  15. 2017 was the year of film disappointments.

     

    For every Infinity War, we got two Justice Leagues.

    1. Swampellow

      That’s just saying we got no good movies then.

  16. So, Assuming Persona 5 makes it to the Switch, I'll simply wait until that port or special addition arrives before playing the game.

     

     

    In the meantime, I'm playing Persona 3.

     

     

    My first Impression: It looks really... weaboo.

      They... Don't get Saturdays off... What kind of crazy school is this? Is this commonplace in Japan?

    2. ShadeStrider

      ShadeStrider

      And you literally have to go Kill Yourself in order to activate your Persona. That's Dark.

    3. ShadeStrider

      ShadeStrider

      I named my Protagonist Last Name Strife, First Name Cloud, just because.

  17. God of War. It’s got the most Critical Acclaim of all the games listed. The Order 1886 is a tech Demo that has mediocre gameplay. The graphics are great, but that doesn’t mean shit when the gameplay is garbage.
  18. Ghostbusters II is better than the 2016 reboot.

  19. So, how exactly did an official licensed Pokemon Game get the topic of Manhunts past the censors?

     

    I mean, it's not as bad as in the next game, where you almost witness a private execution. But Still... That's dark.

  20. Is the Phillips CDI a 4th Generation Video game Console, or a 5th Generation one?

     

    Or does it fall somewhere in between?

  21. Honestly, I preferred the Playstation 1 over the Nintendo 64.

     

    Nintendo 64's Library of games was great, but they weren't as appealing as the Playstation.

     

    They both destroy the Sega Saturn, though. In retrospect, its no wonder why the Sega Saturn failed.

    1. Starry Knight

      Starry Knight

      From my experience I like the ps1 controller but the games of the n64

  22. Debug Mode, But that’s cheating. Also, wrong forum.
  23. Dancing Mad or One Winged Angel for Lin’s theme. Please.
  24. So, I finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna the Golden Country.

     

    Sometimes I think of this as Lora’s theme song.
