    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    I don't disagree with the article. I would offer this as a counterpoint: I guess I'd say where I really disagree is this: This just feels like a big stretch to me. Yes, Nintendo prioritizes gameplay over lore. Absolutely. But there are a lot of clear connections through them. It always...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    I will say that Zelda absolutely does not give a solid definition of how time travel works. Ever. Forget defining how it should work for the series. Each of the several games that has time travel doesn't even maintain consistency in how it works within that game. OoT's ending splitting the...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    Thanks for the explanation. Sounds like it's more that you're dissatisfied that people treat the Star Fox games differently than Zelda in that regard than disagreeing that all these Star Fox games are remakes, which is how I initially read it. I do fundamentally disagree about Zelda. Like the...

    Thread of Thoughts, Questions (and Maybe Even Answers) That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

    I'd like to see Joe crossovers continue on two fronts. For Collaborative, keep doing what they've been doing. Full-sized Joe-compatible vehicles that turn into well-known Transformers characters. Fits with what's already been done, and uses the popular characters that would be more appealing to...

    The Nintendo Thread of Jumping, Slashing, and Home Decorating

    It's been a long time since I've played any of the Star Fox games, but they really don't seem like the same situation as best I can remember. Sure, you can reduce a bunch of the Zelda games down to defeat Ganon and save Zelda, just like you can reduce Mario games down to defeat Bowser and save...

    Platypus is a criminal! You "paid" for your order using an upside-down submarine! That sort of behavior got my cousin on Michigan's most-wanted list for a while.

    No wonder Star Saber always wins. They should have gone to Arby's.

    But why? This could have been the new var mode! We could have toy undressing videos! We could now debate whether to keep toys MISB or nude! We could... ... OK, probably for the best.

    I got to open mine up late last night and go through all his transformations once. Initial impressions, starting with my biggest nits to pick: I'm really disappointed in Leozak's jet mode. We're used to the standard jet transformation at this point: bot collapses into the undercarriage junk...

    His shoulder pads are separate pieces that just plug onto the shoulders via 5mm posts. Like many such connections, they like to come off. Whether because of tolerances or because they're also made of soft, rubbery plastic due to all the spikes, they're not a real secure fit, so they pop off...

    Blokees

    Completely random question. All the Galaxy class figures have always used the little transparent pieces that are just a post with a ball at one end for the ankles (and necks on the first few waves). They've always been transparent on every figure I can recall. I found one of those pieces on my...

    I received mine this afternoon. I heard the FedEx guy talking on the phone as he was walking up to my house, and immediately got up. In the time it took me to walk from my couch to the front door (10-20 seconds?), he had reached the door, knocked, and taken Liokaiser back to his truck. Luckily...

    Studio Series discussion

    I'm split on the color. In person, it's very close to the G1 toy. Or at least the Encore toy. I recall them being basically the same, but I haven't seen my very well-loved (i.e. mostly-disintegrated) 1985 toy in years, so I can't verify that now. It's not a perfect match, but it's very, very...

    Studio Series discussion

    I get the impression some of you have never really looked at Devastator before. The chestplate has almost always sat low. In case anyone didn't realize it, the whole point of the chestplate was to hide the non-existant connection between Hook and Long Haul. Without it, it becomes plainly obvious...

    Unicron Trilogy: Which series is best?

    Regarding the thirteenth always being the one that changes in and out, if we were to again try out the multiversal singularity concept, I'd make the matrix be the singularity rather than the bot who holds it. That way, you could slot in whoever you want as the thirteenth, but they could still...

    I heard from my wife that they left a slip on the door, but didn't fill out anything on it. No item number, no location where to go, nothing. So I don't know if they'll try again tomorrow, or if I have to go pick it up, or where to go if so, or if they'll even accept the blank slip if I go to...

    Sure enough, they came to my house, didn't knock loud enough for my wife to hear, and now I'll have to go pick it up. Worse, they also didn't deliver Liege Maximo, even though he didn't have any signature requirement. ☹️

    I don't think the different speculation here is contradictory. If I had to guess, he'll be a G1-styled inner bot with a transforming shell, and that shell's bot mode will take some cues from Stormbringer. Possibly a mostly G1 shell with optional accessories that skew more Stormbringer - i.e. the...
