...But it's based on something that actually happened! (Yes, I know it didn't happen the way the movie depicted it, but the premise of 300 Spartans holding off all those Persians until they found a different passage was real.)

No, not a joke, just pointing it out. Why did you stop playing TP?

Silver Surfer isn't even a superhero. He's a philosopher and former Herald of Galactus.

Twilight Princess is one huge retcon about the Origin of the Dark Mirror for Four Sword Adventure.

Didn't you say you liked conservatives on the "Politics" thread?

Nintendo fans are no strangers to continuity backflips. Just look at the "Zelda" series.

Honestly, Chaltab, the whole Brooklyn-transplant thing has never been mentioned in any official game as far as I know.

Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr--Granted, I don't think "Brooklyn" is specifically used, but it's clear that Mario lived on Earth before he went to the Mushroom World.

And College Saga? That was freaking crazy. The best Final Fantasy parody ever.

Honestly, it's the closest I've come to watching a continuation of the old TV series, where the Mario Bros. work as a team. And back in the NES days, when game narratives were limited, it was really the old DiC cartoons that shaped my image of the Mario universe.

SuperStar Saga is a frickin' awesome game. Too bad the sequel had to be full of those blasted continuity-complicating babies. (How can Mario be an Italian plumber from Brooklyn if he knew Princess Peach as a baby?)

Try shooting the explosive barels in the room while the Chief is near them.

I should suggest that to someone at The Other Site. (Or maybe just to ADM here.)

That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Why not just make it red blood and take the higher rating? It came out in 1991, for crying out loud. PG-13 existed.

Hm.. Do you have a firewall installed on your computer, Sage? I have to disable my firewall any time I try and log on with the Wii.

The site's not the same without them.

Back ON topic, does anyone have the slim PS2? Is it true it doesn't give you a true 16:9 picture? Just a scaled one you have to zoom? I have a message out to Sony right now to try to get to the bottom of it, but I fear we got GYPPED. (no offense to any Gypsies). First of all, it seems Sony is veering toward the "screw the customer" end of the spectrum, and second, this just drives me farther toward buying the xbox version whenever I have a chance.

What's the deal with my favorite stuff and forced letterbox presentations? Sheesh.

I have no idea, though it really doesnt' matter much to me as I dont have a widescreen TV. Still, if you're into that and have a Slim Line PS2, you're defintiely getting jipped.

Too bad you're the only one who ever posts here anymore, Dayv.

Thanks, though.

WTF!? I'm talking about using cough drops for your cough SO YOU DON'T GET HIGH. If the robitussin is impairing your mental faculties, then find something else. This really ought to be common sense.

BTW Chaltab, Hi again. I haven't been on here for a good year but you are one of the few names I still recognize. Times sure change. Are Bossk, Warbler, Motti, Dayv, StarTrooper, etc. still around?

No, no, no, no, and no, unfortunately. Motti stopped posting a while back when he got sucked into the World of Warcraft, and Dayv, Bossk, and Warbler left because of an argument with Jay. StarTrooper, I'm not sure about.

Sean, you ever thought about using cough drops instead?
