I've played through SMB1 and SMB3 so many times, for me playing Mario Maker has made me want to go back to World, only 2D Mario I've never completed. Maybe I'll reassess after a more recent playthrough but GB dudes are nuts for preferring World over 3.

The only good use of sfx I've seen was DMX Goomba.

i think a well-placed one can be really effective and cool but that was overkill

 

[Antiwhippy]

I can't believe someone still uses Flux

It's very important if you want to get clean solder joints.

Dan

For the love of god tell me you didn't pay for lasik through groupon

Please tell me you have more sense than that

He told that story on a Bombcast. Search "Bombcast experimental eye surgery" on YT.

 

[Lijik]

This gravity airship level is so rad

 

[ScaryShark]

Feels like that last level filled Jeff's desire for a good, realistic Mario level.

 

[Zocano]

Derek Yu's was the my favorite by a mile

 

[Glitchesarecool]

6/10 UPF. Drew's and Jeff's were forgettable, but Mario Maker showed some interesting level designs towards the end with Fob's and Yu's.

Wii U once again proves that it's the only console worth owning this generation. The best two game segments were both Wii U games, so by science I think the only conclusion is that Wii U is like a PC, but better in every way.

Wow, a 5/5 Undertale review. It's also sitting at 97 on Metacritic and has very positive Steam reviews. Guess I have to check that out now.

That nod between jeff and dan - Tony Hawk is definitely the broken game, isn't it?

 

[Archaix]

I don't want to say anything about the consensus game of the year or anything, but nobody comes around and complains that they're doing too much Mario Maker.

Just sayin.

Will depend on which one Brad prefers.

Fucking hell that would have been the best. I secretly would have wanted that more than Obama.

I loved Pingu growing up.

All these dumb add on effects in MM are garbage.

I'm honestly starting to think that Mario Maker may steal GOTY out from under MGSV, simply because it sounds like most of team has now disengaged from MGS, while Mario Maker is just gaining steam.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

real talk, guys

I beat that GB level without even realizing there was a cape there

 

[bigwinnerx]

As if you needed confirmation, but, Pingu is the best.

The advantage of living near the Canadian border with family in Canada is getting to experience the weird shit YTV and the like ran.

Patrick didn't really need it either. I think the idea that it made the level easier was the worst part for him, when the reality was he spent like half an hour solving the boo circle mystery. His way to skip the thwomps and get the easy circus car was no worse in getting to the pipe.

You used Kamek right?

 

[broncobuster]

Mario maker has made me want to go back and legit finish Mario 3. I always warped whistled to the end.

I never beat Mario 1 legit but that game is messed up. I also played it as a 6 year old so maybe I didn't have what it took

Coincidentally I did just that after a string of rotten Mario Maker levels. SMB3 used to kick my ass; now it is a comfortable challenge up to World 8. Modern Mario Boos gone soft. SMB3 Boos book it the second you turn.

 

[mnz]

I feel sad for Roarie. He tries to say something interesting or make conversation and it just feels awkward.

Pingu was a big part of my childhood, loved that show.

 

[AcridMeat]

Taco Bell with booze is in the city now. It's like they are trying to get promotion from Dan Ryckert that it's a cool place. Sorry if I missed this in the thread already or if it was brought up on UPF, didn't watch it.

 

[Myggen]

The QL EX of Chariot is really good. Cool that the dev is an active member of the site too.

I keep forgetting I bought Alpha Sapphire when it came out. Is there any point to beating xy beforehand? Does anything transfer?

You can send any of your dudes from XY to ORAS (and back in most cases) if that's what you mean. Story wise the games are all pretty well self contained, except for BW and B2W2 which were obvious sequels.

 

[Chance Hale]

I'll finish Y then, think I have 5 badges

Expected but not enough anime.

Dan inspired me to get the free trial to WWE Network. Watching Wrestlemania 17. This is bad.

 

[Anjin M]

what the

I had a dream the other night about guns eating guns to level up. Is this something I absorbed by falling asleep with a podcast on?

I know I'm super late with this, but that's the Infuse mechanic from Destiny. They talked about it on the last Bombcast.

Which explains 1) why no one here answered you, and 2) why you fell asleep listening.

As if you needed confirmation, but, Pingu is the best.

I had never heard of Pingu before until I was looking for something that wasn't Lalaloopsy for my daughter to watch on Netflix.

Spoiler

Fuck Lalaloopsy.

You should probably cancel the Network and stop watching that immediately.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Once you're subscribed you can never leave.

Plese enjoy Night of Champions and Corporate/Demon Kane.

 

[stump sock]

i'm really looking forward to this afro samurai 2 QL

You're watching what is considered by many to be the literal highest point in WWE history.

Now, if you want to get the most out of your WWE Network subscription...WCW is where you want to be. Capital Combat 1990, Halloween Havoc 1995, and Uncensored 1995 have some of the real low points in wrestling history, which are really the high points in wrestling history.

 

[Scizzy]

OK, I just finished MGScanlon 5-1 and one moment utterly shocked me. How was Dan able to name Phineas Gage off the top of his head? He is barely even aware of WWI!

I get the sense that he knows a lot more than he lets on

 

[ScaryShark]

The Network is great if you just use it to satisfy nostalgia and don't engage in the current stuff.

I'm mystified some people still don't get this.

Dan's idiot thing is just an act. He just broke kayfaebaby for a moment.

 

[Archaix]

Speaking of wrestling nostalgia, is the episode of Nitro where the Chucky doll threatened Rick Steiner online?

Yeah I don't think you can go back without nostalgia and watch wrestling.

I like Andre the Giant and Macho Man and Ultimate Warrior. I might watch Wrestlemania 2 or something.

Wrestling is good as background noise while you do something more worthwhile with your time.

Like playing Destiny?

Just picked up Destiny and installed a new hard drive into my ps4, so I'm gonna be testing this theory Monday!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

was gonna write an email/tweet/whatever to dan but maybe I can just ask you guys

what's the absolute shittiest I can go on the WWE Network

I was just gonna watch a bunch of 1994 WWF, but is there a better option
