So after the disappointment of NSMBU I'm goon back to Kid Icarus Uprising and I'm realising this is a game I would enjoy more on 3DSXL.

I will say that the forest of illusion thing in swamp land was one of my best Mario experiences ever. Sad that the rest of the game lacked on that section's charms.
I was kinda hoping that this would be a discussion for how stuff keeps on getting smaller with no regard for ergonomics though.

But wouldn't the fact that there is a 3DS XL make this discussion pointless?
K-On!! 02
Know what time it is? Its "post a picture of Sawako in her rockstar persona because its hot as fuck" time!
Anyway, the girls discover that the music room is loaded down with personal belongig hoarder shit everywhere so they decide to clean it up. They discover
Yui sucks at jan-ken so she has to carry it. They mess around at a hardware store looking for some shelving. Yui discovers the cutest fucking turtle ever.
Anyway so
. Sawako asks for the receipt. Ritsu being awesome like usual tries to eat it to hide the value. Sawako gives her that incredibly hot death stare. I love you Sawako be my waifu. I mean, so ritsu spits it out and she discovers the real value. She says she will buy one thing for the club. They get the cute turtle for Azusa as her kouhai. For some reason this word was not translated in the official subs so it looks rather silly. They could have just said "junior" or "understudy". Oh well, anyway this show is REALLY FUCKING CUTE.

Sawako's old guitar. Sawako tells them to sell it and put the funds into the club.
Anyway so
they sell the guitar to the guitar shop for 5000 bucks. The girls all let the money go to their heads

The fact that the comfortable option for my big manly hands is sold at a premium is bs.
Also I've been without a laptop for the past days and have bad to resort through browsing on my phone and this thing if so obviously not built for either browsing or phoning. Fucking rectangles.
This is why I was surprised to hear that you hadn't watched season 2. I liked K-On after S1 but S2 really sealed the deal for me. Glad to hear you're watching it and I hope you enjoy it!

You promised me you would catch up with Smile you Cajun jerk. 
Well, as much as I like cute anime shows, if they arent story driven I tend to drag my feet a bit. I like long epic anime stories, so I was focusing on Shangri La, Steins;Gate, From the New world, that sort of thing. But I had osme time tonight so why not at least start it? Gonna be back at my place in the morning and rest of the week so I will continue it there on a much larger screen sitting in a more comfortable chair and not in my parents frozen kitchen on a bar stool with their little 30 inch Vizio with the volume turned down.

At least get a Tamako Market one. Chu2 is so 2012.

I like it!
And I just noticed the pantsu...
Surely having that as an avatar before it's even out would be unthinkable?! 2012 is where it's at! For now anyway...

But yeah I really liked NSMBU, but they need to allow you to take Yoshis to other levels! I don't get why they can't let you do that argh. I mean the Baby Yoshis are definitely more broken but we can take them!

Which is my rationale, and why I have held off for so long. The DS Lite's for example, they looked really nice, but they were extremely small and kind of annoying in practice.
And knowing Nintendo's penchant for hardware iteration, early adopters are never the winners!
I am not drinking from the same supply.
I enjoyed Other M! But I come from a (relatively) unique position of it being my very first Metroid game, and so I had no affection for the franchise beforehand. That said, the story was nonsensical, and the voice acting was patchy at best, but that's not why I played it.
And posting in AnimeGAF should have already prepared you for defending a contrary opinion!
I was expecting this for Christmas, but the release was delayed indefinitely. They still assure me that my order will be fulfilled, though the product doesn't appear on the website anymore. We'll see...
We all know how this is going to play out!
I should have just bought a game-gear instead.

I should really get an XL. At least getting one of those extended life replacement battery packs make the regular 3DS easier to hold.
Glad you're liking S2 so far, cajun. Not that there was ever any doubt you would.
I'm just waiting for dem feels to kick in!
I've never owned any Sega consoles. It was just never a thing for me. Game gear didn't play Pokemon, I had no interest.
I tried to get one of those new Dreamcasts think geek puts out every so often but I always miss them.
If we're talking buying crazy handhelds, I did come close to winning an N-Gage on eBay a few months back. After I lost the auction, I had to stop and re-evaluate my life.
Edit: guess while on topic, I don't think I ever mentioned how much I love the art in the op. Sawa and the link cable cracks me up.

Niiice. I need to start off my new year with a new avatar.
Not sure which Queen's Blade character I should use though...

That's actually something they don't even translate in the dub. One of my many problems I have with it.
But yes, it's a really cute episode.
I guess.
I see where you're coming from. K-ON!! does kinda have a prevailing theme that runs through the whole season, unlike season 1 does. Anyways, you're going to love it.

But Yui isn't in Queen's Blade...
That's me and Nintendo consoles. I briefly owned an N-64, but they have always been things which I have owned towards the end of a generation. I had a game boy colour (of course), but other than that, nothing. I own a Wii pretty much through convenience, as my sister never uses the damn thing!
Ive got a Genesis and a SAturn. the Saturn was mainly a NiGHTS into Dreams playing device but has been made nearly irrelevant by the HD version on my Ps3. Well the old machine still has the superior 3D special controller and unless there is an adapter for that thing to work with USB then I will prefer to play it old school.
The genesis is mainly a sonic/Jurassic Park machine (so help me I loved that game)

Haha, I remember looking at the front/main page of NeoGaf and seeing the name GuessMyUserName under the "Welcome our newest member!" part a little while ago and now you've been approved. Nice to meet you.
I didn't realize that kind of thing happened in real life. Maybe I've seen too much anime and just thought people falling on top of each other was just an anime fan service thing,haha.
Yeah, sure thing.
Yeah, there's slightly different kinds, such as l've looked at the more military style ones and you can always get one to cover your ears. Being made for a Russian winter I imagine they would be pretty warm.
Haha, I'd say it probably helped.
We certainly seem to like a lot of the same games huh?
Yeah, I don't have a WiiU but if I did buy it I was thinking of waiting until it got cheaper.
I see different ones mention/complain that nothing really happens in this thread but then I also see people who don't like K-On! mention that nothing happens in the show and the girls just sit around not playing music usually.
Haha, I guess the thread is still kind of living up to it's name then when you look at it that way. We're just being authentic to the source material!
Yeah, I've been a big Metroid fan too since Super and played a little bit of II for the GameBoy.
I've heard some complain about some things such as it's dumb that Samus regains her health just by "thinking really hard" or you have to wait for commander something to authorize your weapons at dumb times. Gameplay wise it sounds fine, such as the health thing really just sounds like regenerative health introduced into the Metroid series, and searching for health could just be annoying sometimes more than anything in other games anyway, but the narrative justification for it is just really dumb.
The one thing I could for sure maybe have a problem with is apparently Samus comes across as really submissive and originally she was made up to be a really strong and independent girl who could do all sorts of things, whereas in Other M apparently that's more of a front and she's really just scared and alone and almost a bit of an emotional wreck apparently. I could see that as potentially a bit off putting depending how it's done as that's almost polar opposite to how her character was before. It almost sounds like what Crystal Dynamics is doing with Lara Croft in the newest game where they want you to "protect her". Although I've never played a Tomb Raider before.
Hey Emitan.
That reminds me that I haven't taken a look at that thread yet. I didn't play any of the games you mentioned, although I didn't really play all that much of anything last year really. I spent much more time watching anime instead.
Personally I'm not really that interested in a WiiU right now as NSMBU and Ninja Gaiden 3 are really the only games I think I would want to purchase. There's some coming later such as Pikmin 3 or that P100 game or Bayonetta 2, even though I haven't played the first yet.
I think the WiiU will pretty much be like my Wii system in that I'll really only want the Nintendo franchises and the odd exclusive game.
Thanks for the welcome.
Yeah, I'm never really an early adopter of hardware either, more so especially these days. I'll let other people be the guinea pigs, haha.
Ok, well I really liked Super Metroid and the Metroid Prime games, with the third being the weakest in my opinion, so I'd recommend those. The GameBoy ones might be fun too.
Haha, yeah, true enough about AnimeGaf. Sometimes some maybe seem a bit more blunt about things but at the end of the day I don't think people really care that much if you like or don't like something.
The Saturn was my white whale, because I always owned Sega consoles, though the overlap between that and the Playstation made it so I never did get one. That said, I remember being set on the Saturn. I loved my fighters and I suppose there was some childish loyalty there too, but it wasn't in stock. To cut the story short, I settled for a Playstation, oh, what could have been!
Who said that!
I did enjoy the thread in its sleepy stage, although it can hardly be called that nowadays!
Honestly, if the sequel is even a shade of what the original was, I will buy a Wii U on the spot. I am kind of weary about how they can do it justice, given the hardware they're now working with.
I do love me some Bayonetta (360 version) and plan to get the second one for WiiU.

As they say, life imitates art!
I'd think ones that would cover your ears would be warmer, but I suppose if you have long enough hair it wouldn't really be a problem.
Is that how they see us? I guess so...
I just really like to talk K-ON! and get like minded people to discuss with me. I also made this thread in the hopes I can get more people to watch the show, and seeing since I made this thread, Watanabe Kazuma and others have taken a chance and watched the show. I'm so happy I made this thread, I have so much fun here.
So I guess in a way, it is like in the spirit of the show. lol Like I'm handing out fliers in a horse costume, and coming back to the thread to drink tea.
I started playing Metroid since the first one. And the Samus isn't really that different than how she was portrayed in Metroid Fusion. There is one scene that everyone hates though, which I don't blame them.
I'm a huge Mario fan, if my username didn't tip that off, so I wanted to get NSMBU as soon as I can. Pikmin 3 and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate are the games I'm most looking forward to right now for the Wii U.
Have you played Metroid Zero Mission? I really love that one.
Yeah, I try not to hold it against anyone over there, but it can be trying sometimes.
Is it? I hope so. I'm going purely off games that aren't too dissimilar on the platform, and maybe that's unfair, because they are largely ports. But in that regard, some of the failings encountered with those are cause for concern. I trust Platinum, though.
Oh, posting on a phone will do that! And the page kept timing out for a good while, did anybody else have that?
And I am well aware, but I'm only going on what is currently on offer.

This is the part where I am too friendly to a new poster and drive them away isn't it?
Maybe to get into the swing of things, maybe we need to have another character rankings. We haven't done one yet this year!
Mio>>>Ritsu>Jun=Ui>Mugi>Nodoka>Megumi>Sawako>Mio's Doppelganger>Azusa>Yui
best post so far
Any attempt at ranking ends frustratingly because of my inability to decide between Mugi and Ritsu as best girl. That doesn't even factor in Sawako. (I love christmas cakes! Unfortunately Japan doesn't seem to.)
Someone notified me that K-On! is the only KyoAni show without any 'steamy' official art.
