oh
You can pick up brooms and hoes in Assassin's Creed II to use as weapons. If you grab someone, you can slit their throat with them. You can slit people's throats with brooms in Assassin's Creed II.
Best game ever? :lol

They count as mace/hammer-type blunt weapons for all animation-related purposes if you were wondering.

tsu actually represents the short vowel sound that isn't found in most latin based/romance languages or japanese.Mandoric said:
Take the word "Sonic" for example. ソニック
The ッ is there to tell the reader that this use the short vowel sound. So it's read as "So-nick" instead of "So-neek"
EDIT: Nevermind, I misunderstood what you're saying. I've never ever seen ッ used to represent 't' in romanization, ever, unless the word being romanized actually ends with 'ts'.

That one is pretty awesome :lol
This is probably only of interest to me and two other people on the board but...
If you have a C64 and want to warm reboot without buying a cheat cartridge (for entering pokes etc) then look at the expansion port on the back of the C64 and use a paperclip to connect the leftmost pin with the pin third from the left. Et Voila! warm reboot, poke away at RAM until your heart is content, spend that extra £15 on a Quickshot.

Something I discovered years ago, which may or may not be widely known:
In the megadrive sonic games, the noise of collecting rings alternate between the left and right speaker (1st ring collected in left, 2nd in right, 3rd in left, etc). Easy enough to miss, especially since most games of that era were played on mono TVs.

A good effect most modern sonic games do not make obvious or do it at all, it's great to stop the same effect playing quickly and sounding shit.plufim said:
As a kid I first found out about that ring noise using earphones on my model 1 megadrive which had an earphone port on it, I was like wtfomgwow!
When I replaced it with a model 2 I lost earphone support and was upset

Though I would love to take you on and show you how the Japanese materials themselves use the word "GANON" in English, the person who wrote that rebuttal misses the entire point of the site (as do 99% of people).
IT. IS. A. ****ING. JOKE.
Made it up when I was a teen with a friend and thought it would be funny to troll. True story. And a cool one, too, bro.
There is something that actualy blew my mind but i can't find anywhere here ...
Smash Bros's Mr Game & Watch is NOT a sprite ...but a full 3d model with a very bizarre cell shading applied and flattened ...
When i searched for youtube movies with chars with swaped movesets ... i saw one with mr game and watch ... and he was moving smoothly and ... my head exploded =P

When Yoshi is an egg on Game & Watch's stage in Melee, he becomes "2D" (really just flat, but still):

His animation makes it fairly obvious.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.

Every character and item becomes flat in both Game & Watch stages across Melee and Brawl. It renders the 3D model, but on a flat 2D plain, so there's no physical depth. Its part of the style for both stages.

Well I don't know how many people knew this, but I just discovered you can turn off your Wii by holding the Power Button on your Wiimote. Yeah, stupid, but I've had a Wii since launch and I never knew that :lol
Oh and Kingdom Hearts wasn't the first time Square and Disney worked together. There was actually plans for a Disney published FF Comic, supposedly based off "FF II" (no idea if it was the Japanese II or the US II, the Cover could suggest either one.
Oh and recently playing the GB Mega Man games and getting the MM Complete Works Book

Not the exact coloring but they both possess blue visors.
And another weird coincidence. Here's some sketches drawn by Inafune imagining an "American Mega Man"
Looks a lot like...

The third one reminds me of Mega Girl from that single Captain N episode.

I guess the mind-blowing part here, then, would be for you to find out that you're wrong. Go and look (or just watch the video): characters do NOT become flattened on the Game & Watch stage, EXCEPT when paused. Yoshi is in complete 3D. He has depth and can turn back and forth without the sheet effect that happens when he's an egg. It's only when he's an egg that he's flat.
