I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I thought Monty Mole probably had a different Japanese name, but Mario Wiki didn't have anything on it. Thanks.

This one is a stretch, but something amusing from the Persona spoiler thread:

Hate to sound lazy, but do you have a direct link to this? I don't recall using that item, and its been a long time since I played DS...

I knew about it. I got it a few times. I thought it was really neat back then.
I literally shouted "Oh my god" when the Bob-Omb appeared. Amazing.
Both are moles. I played alot of Auf Wiedersehen Monty, great main theme song.

Makes zero sense, and is just inventing nonsense to justify it. Why would her shadow exist for that long prior to her being thrown into the TV? Why wasn't it hostile? How could her shadow have a shadow of its own?

It's actually quite clever to look at the electrical outlets imho.
Just saw this on the gaming section of Reddit : the Xbox 360 S model has a Kensington security lock. Never realized this, I thought it was part of the construction of the unit.

But it has a lock icon above it. With a K in it. The Kensington Lock official logo.Just saw this on the gaming section of Reddit : the Xbox 360 S model has a Kensington security lock. Never realized this, I thought it was part of the construction of the unit.

This might be common knowledge, but it blew my mind today while I was playing on the bus...
The trial system in Chrono Trigger comes about indirectly due to your actions.
Yeah I probably figured that out when I was 11 (sorry to be that guy but it's true.. it's kinda blatant).
That's time travel stories 101 for ya... the main characters always accidentally cause the necessary events of the future. It's like BttF and Chuck Berry's cousin listening to Marty play Johnny B. Goode "I think I've got that new sound you've been looking for!"

Or when the Doctor went back to Torchwood Estate and met Queen Victoria who founded the Torchwood Institute as a direct result of her encounter with the Doctor and the evil that seems to follow him everywhere.

How about this then:
The cats that escape in the time gate at the end of the game are the cats that you see throughout time during your playthrough. http://i.imgur.com/6zWoo.png
How did I not notice that?

don't know why, but I though this was pointed out soon after it launched... guess not many people noticed that.
the pokemon bits are cool though... especially the parasect one. Last of Us somethingsomething

...Holy crap. Can't believe I never noticed this before!
It's a good way to remember the weaknesses too. I always get confused with Psychic type weaknesses.

It's absolutely possible I knew and just forgot about it since then. 6 years!
Samus's ship in Nintendo Land has A/V inputs on it for some reason

fuck!
Who the hell would take the time to have the speakers in the game actually follow the music? It's such a small detail, yet they took the time to get it right.
Dat Nintendo polish, I swear to God...

Samus' ship isn't HD capable? Oh Nintendo.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the Goombas in Mario are based on chestnuts, not mushrooms. Rocked my world.
the other inputs "that look like the audio inputs on the back of your computer" are actually component inputs.
So yeah, it is HD capable - not just Digital HD capable.

Billy Mitchel's tie in Donkey Kong Country Returns!
Holy shit.
No they're not. The "red" port is actually pink, lacks the metallic rim, and the order should be Green, Blue, Red if they were actually meant to be component.
Did the narrator really just call DK's tie an "artifact" of clothing instead of "article?"
Holy shit though
You're right. However, they're the same size of the composite/L-R audio on the other side. They clearly just mirrored the sides and colored them differently.
Which is even weirder. Why would they have a Speaker Out, Line-In and Mic-In along with Composite audio and L/R RCA audio? If they took the time to model them, why not model them properly?
Sure, we're discussing why does Samus ships have audio/video inputs, but yeah...

I have to disagree, the inputs on either side look pretty different to me, doesn't look like a case of mirrored/recoloured parts to me.
Also if you notice the two thruster type parts at the back of the ship look like speakers. So I guess the idea is that what that model is, it doubles as a tv/pc or something? Weird little touch.
