And when you put their names together, it spells "Katana."
It all went downhill from the episode where Jigglypuff first showed up, kicked Pikachu literally in his yellow behind, and then played innocent.HK-47 said:Pikachu > Jigglypuff
I think we all need to rewatch the first episode of the anime. It all went downhill from there

you already spoiled it by calling it a spoiler! the hell else is grandjedi supposed to glean from that?doomed1 said:THIS IS A SPOILER SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS DON'T HIGHLIGHT THIS!!!!!
there is
Jiggy37 said:Yes, it's the best and most appropriate facial expression and stance for her ever, and when my Photobucket bandwidth returns so will she.

It was actually that very picture that convinced me to watch the show. Found about it via GAF, even... First anime I had watched in like three years. >_>Iam Canadian said:That's why it's such a good picture. I learned a lot about her character, despite not knowing who in the world she was, just by her face and stance.
What would really blow your mind is if you checked that insects thread that Crushed linked to earlier. That was in my section of posts to read over. D: And even though I didn't click it again, it brought back terrifying memories. D: Oh, the dog-sized bugs and the mutated human bodies. D: It was even more horrible than that documentary I saw on high heels in like the mid-90s, and that one permanently changed my thinking without a doubt. D:Indeed. Cloudbushes and the FedEx arrow blew my mind.
I kind of stopped following it after the Bioshock Goatse, though.

These girls appear in the WarioWare series. Theyre twin ninja kindergartners! And when you put their names together, it spells "Katana."
Read/watch the series, it's excellent.Iam Canadian said:I have absolutely no idea who Haruhi is, but I did like that avatar that Jiggy used to have. Mostly the facial expression. Speaks volumes about her character...er, I think, seeing as I no nothing about this character. >_>
Jiggy37 said:No, seriously, there was some documentary or other (or maybe it was just a news report, I don't know) about high heels, and they showed, like, X-ray scans of what happened to people who wore them too often or too high, so they had like these freaking hideous permanently deformed bones in their feet with toes shaped like talons. And even if they had just stopped at that, I would have freaked out, but then they showed the actual foot. D: Oh, and then there are people who go to cosmetic surgeons and have parts of their toe bones cut and replaced with all that surgical stuff so that they can fit into heels better. It's all rather frightening.
Jiggy37 said:And to bring this back on topic, this is why I will never be using Peach even though she's a really strong Smash Bros. character. And why even though my taunt for Zelda will be something like "Power of flats!" as a joke, there's actually a deeply-rooted and deadly serious thought process behind it all.
Jiggy37 said:Edit: Of course, I may have been more strongly affected than most because I saw this thing on TV when I was like 11 or 12, I don't know. Maybe it's like Itoi's inspiration for Giygas where it stuck more strongly with me for that reason?
Iam Canadian said:Quoted for Earthbound reference.
That could very well be the case. Stuff you see at that age probably would affect you more deeply than if you saw it when you were older.
Because I think it's fairly common knowledge that high heels are not good from a health perspective, but you seem especially serious about it, even though it technically doesn't affect you.
Oh, actually it does affect me. You see, every time some girl complains to me about her shoes, it annoys me because all I can think is that she chose to wear them herself and is being a hypocrite. For this very reason, high heels should actually be called "hypocrisy trainers" as a contrast to how some athletic shoes are called cross trainers.Iam Canadian said:Because I think it's fairly common knowledge that high heels are not good from a health perspective, but you seem especially serious about it, even though it technically doesn't affect you.
crowphoenix said:So, wait. What was Itoi's inspiration for Giygas. I swaer I'm going to see what Earthbound is all about if Nintendo ever puts it up on the VC.
Wikipedia said:Shigesato Itoi stated that his inspiration for Giygas' speech came from a traumatic childhood experience where he mistakenly walked into an adult movie theatre and caught a glimpse of a rape scene in the 1957 movie Kenpei and the Dismembered Beauty (憲兵とバラバラ死美人, Kenpei to Barabara Shibijin?).
Jiggy37 said:Itoi's inspiration for Giygas was that when he was young he accidentally walked into a theater showing a rape scene in an adult movie, and even though he couldn't quite understand what he was seeing, he was able to figure out that it was horribly wrong. So Giygas ends up both looking and speaking like some deformed entity somehow simultaneously incomprehensible and frightening.

Jiggy37 said:There's no rush. I just have OCD about crossing stuff off lists immediately, lest I forget. >_>
Edit: Or adding to lists, for that matter. I mean, when I get Brawl, the first four things I'll do are go and type my purchase into my spreadsheet for gaming purchases, enter Brawl into my list of games that I haven't beaten, put it in my IGN collection, and register the My Nintendo code. Yep. I wouldn't have peace of mind if I didn't do these things!
Jiggy37 said:I don't hate 3D as long as they're doing something worthwhile with it, such as rail shooting (2D aiming mechanic = auto-justified!), arcade racing (simpler gameplay than most 2D experiences = auto-justified!), a mixture of the two (see Star Fox 64!) or clothing customization (since it's easier to model several clothes than draw several sprites, I expect developers to use it!). I'm really, really picky. Really picky (obligatory parenthetical phrase requiring an exclamation point!).
Jiggy37 said:As for OCD, actually I'm not entirely joking about it. >_> But I did forget the thing I'll do before I even do those first four things: I have to wash my hands simultaneously with the plastic wrap that the Brawl box comes in, because if the plastic wrap was dirty then it wouldn't matter if my hands were clean, because I'd touch the plastic wrap and my hands would get dirty again and then I'd touch the beautiful white Brawl box, and that would mess it up because it's white like that--which is not to say that I don't also do these things for DS cases and PSP cases even though they're not white, because I do, because I don't even want to mess up the clear plastic in which the inserts go.

"FALCON WALK"
"FALCON EAT"
"FALCON BREATHE"
"FALCON THINK"
"FALCON SLEEP"
Just that mental picture of Cap. Falcon lying in bed, fully dressed, his eyes bulging open, shouting, "FALCAWWN SLEEEEEEP" constantly, is probably one of the few things that will almost always make me laugh.
Oh, yeah, for nearly all RPGs there's usually not even a difference between 2D or 3D in my mind; they're 2D games that just happen to have a 3D-looking interface. Actually, I often prefer them in 3D because they'll play the same while leaving the potential for clothing customization. Even if it's, like, Tales with free run (from Abyss on) it's still basically 2D in my mind. Same for 3D fighters, actually.Iam Canadian said:Some genres work equally well in 2D and 3D. When it comes to RPGs, there aren't actually many fundamental differences between RPGs in 2D and 3D, so it really comes down to personal preference. 3D RPGs can provide grander spectacle (as Square repeatedly shows us), but I prefer pixel art to polygons.
