“The incident” I’m actually referring to is…
Other M
…The infamous Ridley part. The whole “going into total shock and losing her armor while she cowers in fear” thing, despite having killed Ridley on several occasions already, thus being stupid that she’d choose now to have this little episode instead of the first time she saw him after he killed her family.
l2read. I already posted it. :razz:
Joking aside, yeah that’s the one.
oh that!? I had no problems at all with how she reacted to that part because of her history with him. Considering the events that transpired before the game took place. She wasn’t expecting to see him at all forever and then bam ‘WHAAATUPPPPPPP!!!’ ‘The fuck?! I blew up the damn planet!’. I mean she was startled at first but she fucking got her shit together and blasted his ass…‘EAT IT!!!’. If she was flipping out and losing her nerve throughout the fight I would have been mad but like I said earlier I think she’s inclined to a ‘I thought I killed you!’ moment. That’s my opinion though.
Are there really people complaining about her not being a badass? If so, that would really bother me. The worst thing is I wouldn’t be surprised.
Just because someone is the shit doesn’t mean they need to put up a front and pretend to be the shit. That’s called being a douche bag. Wouldn’t surprise me if a large majority of people who were to hate on Other M for aforementioned reason are the exact type to pretend to be something instead of just be themselves. Her character seems uncontrived and believable to me, but what the hell do I know…
Anyway, so far she’s pretty damn accurate to what I always perceived her as. Then again, I’m sure I just projected myself on to her. Perhaps the fact that I’m somewhat of a wussboy is why I’m enjoying Other M so much hahaha.
Sonic Colors is awesome!
I’d probably like Other M because its not a traditional Metroid Game (as discussed before, I hate the metroid series). So I’ve never had any emotional investment in any of the characters so I wouldn’t care how she acted, but at the same time. I’d be disappointed about the way they went with the character from the sounds of it. If that makes sense.
Seeing what happened to Samus in Other M reminds me of what happened to Terra in Dissidia. Yes I know what Pandora’s Box I just opened saying that; bring it on.
With that out of the way, now that Samus is one step closer to Peach and more in line with how Nintendo likes their females (i.e., subservient damsels), that means one Nintendo starlet has stepped up and claimed the mantle of most likable, heroic, proactive Nintendo female.
That’s right:
DIXIE KONG
The second Nintendo female of any import to have her own fucking game (Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble, for anyone not keeping score at home), Dixie Kong is now the manliest of Nintendo’s women.
Yeah, Dixie “cries.” Play-cries, only to get up and hair-float her way past obstacles neither DK nor Diddy dare traverse on their own.
Yeah, Dixie wears pink, but she also wears a mother-fucking beret, which as we all know from Mythbusters and that weird intro to Vampire Savior makes you 10x more badass. Plus Kirby’s pink, and he routinely kicks the crap out of Dedede and Meta Knight, all because –
Actually, fuck Dixie, let’s talk about motherfucking Kirby.
Anime notwithstanding, because it’s garbage, Kirby’s a lazy, hungry, slothful motherfucker. And you better not threaten his sedentary lifestyle, because if you do, he will FUCK. YOU. UP.
Look at Meta Knight’s Revenge. Meta Knight tried to make the people of Dream Land work. What does Kirby do? Hypocritically, ironically, and totally badassilly, he boards a Warp Star and attacks the Halberd, Meta Knight’s fucking battleship, head on.
And this shit is like the story of every Kirby game! “One day, Kirby was being a fucking hungry and lazy guy, until something threatened to ruin his laziness/hunger. Then, Kirby gets a cute little angry face and DESTROYS THE ENTIRE ARMY OF WHATEVER POOR SAP HAPPENS TO BE THE ANTAGONIST THIS TIME.”
Man, Kirby’s awesome. It’s too bad Masahiko Sakurai is such a fucking douche. And yeah, I’d tell him that to his face.
Epic Yarn is awesome. It’s too easy <-- that’s its one flaw. And it isn’t because of infinite health either. Lives systems are gay and don’t make games easier or harder.
Back to Dixie. Dixie officially has more testicular fortitude than Samus Aran. No, Dixie doesn’t give a shit what random Fire Emblem princess or whatever happened to seem all heroic: none of them had THEIR OWN FUCKING GAME. Two, actually, if you count Donkey Kong Land 3. And you should. THREE, if you consider the GBA version of DKC3 was a near-remake with new music and a totally new world to explore.
Seriously, Dixie’s the fucking man these days. How sad is that?
If she wasn’t a monkey I’d totally hit and/or fap to that. Yes monkeyhetero.
Dr. B’s Double Trouble involves him fighting an Infinity Gauntlet-powered Galactus and what to make for lunch. The game lasts thirty-six seconds; Dr. B just eats Galactus.

What is this…I don’t even
How is Specs not in battle poll? That shit is amazing.
Made my day.
Actually, I’m not gonna put you on blast for it like I normally would.
It would seriously derail the thread and I’ve already explained about oh, 19 zillion times to SRK at large why Terra is who she always was and there was no change in the character.
Oh and because the rest of that post was gold. That was the other reason.
Japan is getting a bundle with The Last Story. Reading through the thread about it on Gaf right now.
Edit: Nobuo in a do rag…lol
Seriously…Terra was a whiny, mealy-mouthed little wuss job from conception. That’s why I fucking hate her (and a large contributor to why I hate FFVI), so I KNOW it was there from the get-go. Gonna have to overrule you, specs my bro.
That Last Story Wii bundle is fucking amazing.
I haven’t played Other M or know much about Samus in it, but I can tell you that she was never a “badass.” A badass is a troublemaker, someone who is uncooperative and would incite petty fights over trivial reasons. That word is so commonly misused these days.
Nintendo wants people to believe that this is the first time we get to know about Samus’s backstory, but actually that was already done with the official manga. It completely details what happened to her as a child and some of her adult life. Samus was always emotionally troubled, and was portrayed as depressed, but at the same time she was also fueled by an intense desire to get back at the villains that ruined her life.
Has anyone here actually read the manga fully and beaten Other M? I’m curious as to whether or not the game is based on it. If not, balls.
Dude, seriously, I so wish SRK still had rep. Easily one of the best things I’ve ever read!
As friendless loser I have to ask, how much fun is New Super Mario Bros. Wii solo?
Slightly worse than two-player, better than three-player, infinitely better than four-player, much worse than single-player Epic Yarn, much worse than two-player Epic Yarn, probably much worse than any number of player Donkey Kong Country Returns.
Dr. B is fun with any number of players regardless of sexuality.
I haven’t read the manga fully but thanks to Koatl I’m actually goint to do that right now before I do anything else for the day. I know about the biggest plot points and I beat Other M. The only true thing that they due that references Samus’ childhood past was was the the small panic attack she had before fighting you-know-who.
I didn’t get that feeling from Nintendo at all on them making us believe it’s the first time ever…it’s the first time in a game though.
Badass also can mean ‘distinctively tough or powerful; so exceptional as to be intimidating’.

IGN DKCR review:
Donkey Kong Country Returns Review - Wii Review at IGN
9.0 Complaints included game was difficult (note…he welcomed the difficulty but he’s acknoledging it could be a turn off), sort of slow in the beginning, blowing is unnecessary and ‘waggle’ can cause cheap deaths if you’re not careful with wii mote and nunchuk (you can accidentally roll right off the stage…he prefers just the wii mote).

That’s awesome.
Quick question, I’ve been thinking of getting TvC and was wondering if the Mad Cats Wii stick was any good?
I ended up just diving right into Twilight Princess without giving Borederlands a second thought, having way too much fun on it but I think that fun is going to come to an end for a short while…water temple…
You must have lots of money. Btw, where did you get the black SNES? That shit is nice! I love the controllers too. Did you paint those or are those limited edition? I see you got the red wii.
