I remember in the early days of CSS someone made a mod to do just that, it grew and slowly became the zombie mod which was popular for ages, get knifed and turn into a zombie which has a speed and hp bonus, but only a knife.butzopower said:More of an origin story than a fact, but Mike Booth, lead designer of Left 4 Dead just finished a talk at my university and revealed that the basic idea of Left 4 Dead came from testing the Counter Strike bots they were creating and facing off against 30 or so of them only allowing the bots to use knives. Thought that was really interesting, though maybe not mind blowing.

Am I missing something beside the obvious? (that the hole is shaped like the mole dude) Cause if that's it my mind remainds in-tact.
Close but no cigar, that's his tail :lolStabby89 said:"Olimar" is an acronym for "L. Mario" or Luigi Mario, his full name. Either that or the makers tried to make an anagram for Mario and added an L because it didn't work out.

Lakupo said:Actually, "Olimar" isn't quite an anagram, but actually "Mario" in reverse. Since Japanese is syllabic, MA-RI-O in reverse is O-RI-MA. This got localized to Olimar.

Oh wait. MA-RI-O is O-IR-AM backwards, not O-RI-MA...
Almost had me....
The early GameCube/Dolphin devkits had an upgraded version of Peach's Castle as a tech demo. Might've been related to that.DryvBy2 said:In the original Gamecube manual (for the system), at least in America, they had a picture of the save game feature and how that worked, along with a save state for "Super Mario 64".
Was Nintendo planning N64 remakes all along?

I like this use of "erected" implying a second party erected it. :lolStabby89 said:A tail isn't hard enough to leave a mark through the sand. An erected penis is.

WHAT!!!! I always pronounced it as "kofing."Stabby89 said:The gas Pokemon Koffing is just the word "coughing".
Isn't that always the case? :lolBowieZ said:I like this use of "erected" implying a second party erected it. :lol
Come to think of it since Delibird is meant to be a play on the words delivery and bird shouldn't it be pronounced in the same way as delivered rather than "Deli bird" which I usually hear.Stabby89 said:The gas Pokemon Koffing is just the word "coughing".

Seda said:In Pokemon Blue, before you challenge Gary at the Pokemon Tower in Lavender town, he asks if you've ever known what its like to have a Pokemon die.
At this point in the game, he no longer has his Raticate.

This is for the Sega Genesis game, Rings of Power, by Naughty Dog, you know, the Uncharted people.
The "Glitch" in question was uncensored tits on the Naughty Dog logo screen.
Back then, I read somewhere that if you hit/smack your Genesis as you're turning the thing on, you get the alternate titty start-up logo.
Here's the pic. Maybe NSFW (lol) http://i36.tinypic.com/245enhj.gif

Also, Maria from SotN = Kamikirimusi (bonus char) from Soulcalibur IV = C. Viper from Street Fighter IV = Carl Clover from Blazblue RIGHT, SIS!?Diablohead said:
