Eh, I imagine the Vatican doesn't mind since Mexico is quite profitable for them anyway. And it's not like the Pope can't make public appearances wearing his usual Pope clothes and stuff.

Plus it's hardly 100% enforced - I think it's good since it can prevent schools (that in Mexico MUST be secular, at least public schools) from having religious events forced on students, for example.

It's not 100% enforced, but it's still the law, and that's no good. And if having religious events forced on students is a problem, make that illegal. There's no need to forbid clergy from wearing religious clothes in public. It just seems weird.

Because ä is so often an "e" in Swedish and German it also sounds like one in my head. And ø is easier to distinguish and if you write it in cursive you can put the line over the vowel.
It would be great for keyboards though.

I found this in a search for another thread but I thought it was too nerdy and hot not to post
That picture is amazing!
For being such a hardcore Catholic nut country, Mexico has a super strong church-state separation. Our politicians are terrible scum, but they don't mix their beliefs with their political intentions, because that's against the law here.

Lot's of secular countries are very religious. It's so bizarre to see religious Americans talk about the founding fathers as if they were as religious.

Turkey is kinda like Mexico a country which is very religious, but all political parties have to be secular and before Tayyip came to power religious clothing was illegal in public institutions. Turkish LGBT rights are lacking as they haven't got anti-discrimination laws ATM, but will need them for EU membership. The country seems very split as you have large LGBT movements, especially in Istanbul, but (a slim majority) voted for Tayyip. A Turkish friend I have it the most active in my Facebook feed to post anti homophobia on top of being a large Dawkins fan :p

You can't judge a country by it's constitution or leaders. Until very recently Norway had a state religion, but in my high school class some students were unwilling to admit that they were religious. We sadly kinda suck at supernatural beliefs (our princess believes in angels), but they thankfully don't suppress rights.
I know I should go to sleep but a part of me doesn't want to.
Sleep sucks, but so does life without it. The best motivation I have is thinking about morning coffee (which I am enjoying now ^_^), but I wish society was set up for people who wants to be up all night as well.
 
Hey guys, I haven't popped in here for...God, who knows? Anyway, I just had sex for the first time, with my best friend of four or five years, no less. It's been made clear it was more of an experimental thing. Definitely not a romantic thing, which I'm fine with. Circumstances dictate we wouldn't be able to do it often if that were the case anyway.

But yes, it was very enjoyable. We were at it for a very long time. Two hours before we finished sex proper and settled down for pillow talk, and we were still cuddling and fondling each other for hours after that.

And we were still doing it when we woke up! So yeah. Been an adventurous year, and I thought that was a hell of a way to send off the final hands-on week of uni.

You are the sexiest guy ever just for that. But then you attack other Nintendo fans like me.
J/K, you are cool ;). Just try to be more gentle to us that play in your same team :p

haha

you are one of those Nintendo fans that don't like Galaxy that much for insane reasons, I'm just not going to be nice when responding to that hehe

I read on buzfeed it's a porn parody

That does not make it any less weird.

Top Wii games IMO:

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
2. Rhythm Heaven Fever
3. Super Smash Bros Brawl
4. Xenoblade Chronicles
5. Rock Band 2

What did you say again?

Unless you refered just the first one, which is the second worst 3D Mario game because it was very easy and the second round was just "replay with Luigi" and then you unlocked a pointless final level

ASDF at Masamuna's post elsewhere. But honestly dude: Check your camera's focus before you start filming/snapping things, just for the sake of clarity.

Or was someone behind the camera? *dun-dun-dunnnn?*

The Galaxies are great, but slightly overrated. Gladly 3D Land and now 3D World are much more focused, traditional platformers. I really don't want to see sphere-like levels again, or shake-to-spin controls, or pointer collecting stuff, or "point where you want Mario to float" parts, or those terrible Fluzzard parts. Most of those are just not fun and really harm the flow of the game. Also screw area-specific power-ups.

I wish there was a platformer where you traversed non-Euclidian geometry.
The main character is a humongous beefcake trying to get his master's degree and the environment is really his mind.

Rm88~, Mario 3D Land is the worst 3D Mario because of the content. It did have a post game after the boring and easy first round, but it didn't make it mich better because it was just the same levels but rehashed. Don't get me wrong, the mechanics were very good and being a pure platformer makes it fun but it felt that it was rushed and lacked polish.

Fortunately 3D World looks to be better in that complaints, the levels shown so far seem more varied and there are more modes like the Toad levels that are more puzzle focused the Luigi Bros game and
people say that there is a seco.d round again :)
Moreover, you can use 4 very different characters and the game will be fun to play 4 times and doing time trials will be interesting. The multiplaye mode is one of the best additions, though I already know that no one will play with me :'(
 
"north american" isn't really a thing by the way :lol like...that could be literally almost anything

I was just trying to specify that it wasn't Latin American (since that was the topic of the post I replied to).

He's from Michigan, his father is Mexican. He is 20. And adorable.

oh, oh, and... we both stutter when we speak. How cute is that? :p

I can still smell his ass on my mustache

Bad Mario games are only bad in comparison to other Mario games.

Besides the edutainment games.

and Mario Party 8.

Especially Mario Party 8.

Well to be fair you lack eyes.

could you elaborate?

Nah, but good try.

In all seriousness, I didn't mind it at the time but trying again in the past year it didn't really hold up that well. It leans too heavily on FLUDD for platforming and is worse for it.

But it was very difficult and exploration was insane in this game. The platforming was the best in the series too, the fludless levels show that. And who doesn't love water?

I liked Sunshine. While the lack of ties to the rest of the Mario universe and absolutely ridiculous story ("I'm your MAMA!?") was irritating, the game had a beautiful and very unique atmosphere and did quite a lot with and without the water pack. I'm not sure if I'd want a sequel but the game is really something special. Gives me a bit of the vibes I get from the original Paper Mario. (Which is my favorite game ever.)

I think it says something that the best parts are the ones that don't feature the main mechanic, no?

One has to actively try to have such terrible opinions across the board, right?

Yes, I have lots of infamous opinions because I don't let others decide what I think about somehting I have experienced.

I think it says something that the best parts are the ones that don't feature the main mechanic, no?

No. I was talking about the pure platforming mechanic. The rest of the game was more exploration focused so I don't need the platforming too much.

Sunshine is a glitchy mess, features tons of tedious shines that doesn't even involve platforming, has the worst swimming mechanics in a 3D game ever and shitty yoshis. It nearly killed my interest in platformers because I was so disappointed with it :(

I really hate ranking Mario games.

2D:
1- SMB3
2- SMB2 (JP)
3- NSMB2
4- SMB2 (US)
5- SMW
6- SML
7- NSMB
8- SML2
9- NSMBWii
10- SMB

3D:
1- 3D Land
2- 64
3- Sunshine
4- Galaxy 2
5- Galaxy 1

Or something like that. I'm pretty sure if I make the ranking again right now it'll be different, lol.

That's for a reason, you terrible person. Coin Rush is one of my favorite things to ever happen in a 2D Mario game.
 

daripad

Coin Rush didn't do anything for me. In fact, it was the worst addition to any Mario platformer. Challages are what they should have aimed at and I'm glad that NSMBU has them
though I feel like I won't ever play that game and if I do it will be in more than 5 years

I thought this was the hot guys thread not the super mario thread excuse me

Mario is hot.

There should be a Mario sandbox crime game, where Mario goes bad and starts romping around Toad Town and the rest of the mushroom kingdom destroying absolutely everything with powerups and robbing koopa banks.

Super Mario Galaxy is my game of the generation.

Finally some sense in this absurdity, I'd buy you a beer if I could.

The Galaxies are great, but slightly overrated.

wat

Rm88~, Mario 3D Land is the worst 3D Mario because of the content.

WAT

The correct answer is Sunshine and I haven't even played 3D Land.

Wtfiamreading.jpg

64 >= Galaxy >= 3D Land > Sunshine

Beer withdrawn.



Galaxy is the best 3D Mario, Sunshine is the worst, unless you like running around aimlessly and don't like platforming that much I could see the appeal, but it happens that there are much better games that do that.

Mario 64 was absolutely revolutionary, but 3D land and Galaxy blow it away, they are the pinnacle of 3d platforming as far as I'm concerned.

Off topic: I think I dating a gamer would be a pain, I would not stop arguing about why his tastes are wrong -_-.

I tend to love controversial Mario games. Not all of them, but for example I reaaally love Sticker Star while GAF thinks it's Big Rigs 2 or Superman 64 3D. Sunshine is fantastic IMO. And Super Mario Land is a great little fun weirdo Mario game with great music.

No NSMBU love, you monster? Now that I'm 100% the game I think it just might be my favorite 2d Mario.
