Just to clarify: if you get banned as a junior you're gone for good?

More on the topic: Ubisoft is showing some Wii U stuff on their own show, right? I wonder if this is only because they have been seemingly in good terms with Nintendo... Maybe they'll show some trailers but do not bring out the hardware.

Beeing banned as junior is a major fault, so don't fuck shit up.
 
All adult cartoons are cynical. Don't just single out South Park. Adult cartoons live off cynicism.

The Boondocks
Family Guy
etc etc

Boondocks and Family Guy definitely stand for something to balance off their cynicism. Hell, the later seasons of Family Guy sees Brian becoming a mouthpiece for Seth's politics

At least they admit it. Anyway, that doesn't make it bad. I would never want to hang out with Bill Hicks, didn't stop him being fucking hilarious. Plus they exaggerate out the arse and it's all on the surface. They're pisstakers. They're not trying to make statements, they're just pointing out dumb shit and having some fun with it.

As for the bolded, this is certainly not what Trey or Matt believe, given that they are clearly passionate about so many things.

I'm not saying it isn't funny. It is, in fact, VERY funny. But TV shows are like people. You invite them into your homes, you have up and downs, you talk about them with friends, you hang out when a certain times once a week. And if there isn't something else to them besides just displeasure, some kind of heart or self-effecting humanism, then there's those funny people you know that you wouldn't want to hang out with.

It's a show that embraces nothing but itself. I can never call a show like that "great" or "I love that show", despite how smart and funny it often is.

edit: Also, LOL @ Ace already getting banned pre-E3.

I know that they said that they'd be showing Wii U game, but I wonder if they just meant that they'd be showing multiplatform games that are also on the Wii U? I just can't see Nintendo allowing anyone to show games actually running on the system before their own show.

Ubisoft said they will not only have WiiU trailers, but demonstrations at their PC

Depending on quantity of 3rd party ports and such it might be in Nintendos benefit to let their partners demo less important titles so at the Nintendo event itself they can show off big megaton style titles

As much as I love Metro, I don't see it as major multiplatform game. It would be nice to have a Wii U version of it at its 360/Ps3 release, but if you think the way like you described then nintendo should think about bigger and more important third party releases.
But we heard similar things from Ubisoft about Ghost Recon Online.
These are minor games in the scheme of things, but it's not a good sign to be hearing developers treating Wii U as a second class console already. It's counter to the promise behind the platform.

Well Ubisoft does have some exclusive Wii U games coming. If Nintendo thinks they have enough to show without them maybe they would green light Ubisoft to show them?

Alright, I don't want to brag or joke about the misfortunes of others, but I'm just gonna post this here.

It was a week early but still.

I feel really low for posting that as a survey question.
I mean, really low.

Ubisoft said they will not only have WiiU trailers, but demonstrations at their PC
I wonder if I should adjust my countdown in that case, since we'll be getting news earlier..
 
What happened to Ace? :( Another is gone. I'm still a couple pages behind so thats probably why I don't know what happened to him (lol)

Poor Ace...

I always wondered. Are you all just acting like that or is it the real deal?
Regardless, it was funny. Thanks!

Well I ahead of time choose what we will talk about, but I never write a script so besides from the usual "I am your anchor" and "I am your co anchor" lines in each episode we just make it up as we go along. Me acting crazy and everything is a act, but a act that I make up as I go along. There are no scripts in YouTube News (or NeoGAF News) just what I wanna talk about and then making up as I go.

There is a script, and more focused acting in my Wii Master series, which will be returning July 3rd.

but 100 days away feels like yesterday. That thread seemed so long ago yet so close.

Yep so close. 10 more days to the big event! 9 more days for other events but dat 10.

Lol stop it, Retro's not doing Zelda.

Yes they are and it shall be at launch...I hope...

Forget the train - this is fucking HYPE TOWN

YOU FORGOT ME!
Meh I don't post often enough to be considered a speculation regular.

Interesting. I would love to see a new and improved Killer Freaks, but I hope Nintendo shows it off if it's impressive.

I feel really low for posting that as a survey question.

Don't blame yourself. There is no way you could have known I have super powers. Sometimes I don't know my own strength though. :( I accept responsibility.
 
*kicks Ace's corpse in the head*

STUPID FUCK!

A freaking week away!

What the fuck man?!

edit: Not to be rude or anything, but I could see jump's coming from a mile away.

WTF. Looking through his post history there is nothing that could have gotten Ace banned.

Here's the thing about South Park.

South Park is about kids trying to make sense out of the crazyness in the world. That's the general idea of the show.

South Park shows how horrible adults can act when they have strong opinions and beliefs, and they use those beliefs to hurt anyone who doesn't share those beliefs. South Park doesn't hate on people for having strong opinions and beliefs. South Park mocks/satires people who let their opinions and beliefs get to their heads. Trey Parker/Matt Stone absolutely hate any group of people who think their above other groups of people.

Every episode of South Park has this message: "It's fine to have strong beliefs no matter what side of the aisle you're on in any topic.... but don't be a jackass to people because of your beliefs and opinions. "

There is actually a positive message at the end of each episode of South Park. The message of each South Park episode never belittles a group of people or person. It belittles the way they act as people.

The kids play the role of never understanding why adults act so horrible to each other. They try to make sense of the world.

Nintendo has managed to keep the lid on the Wii U (for the most part) since last years E3. It would be strange if they let third party devs show off their games early instead of just blowing the lid off of everything at their own conference. Where would they even draw the line? Konami's conference is scheduled for next Thursday/Friday, so would they let them show their Wii U games (assuming that they have any)?

To be fair Ubisoft has been tight with Nintendo and specifically the Wii U. If they're not going to give Ubisoft games very big exposure during their conference then why not let them show it on their own? Surely there's no need for Nintendo to make the 3rd parties that like them angry.
 
How? What did he post?
Just the general attitude.

Never personally had a problem with the posts, but the dismissive nature he had about anyone that disagreed with his Nintendo stance was playing with fire.

Ace did the same, but with more explanation generally. I'll miss both of them during the festivities.
