If you're not into Super Smash Bros. or Super Mario Maker... and maybe even if you ARE into those games but aren't as obsessed with Mary O. as I am... then this entry will probably be of no interest to you and you should probably skip it unless you REALLY want to know what goes on inside my head. :P
Being the Nintendo nerd I am, ever since the first Super Smash Bros. I sometimes tried to imagine what it would be like if various characters (video game or otherwise) that weren't playable in any SSB games yet were.
But I don't think I've ever come up with a complete moveset for one until now. Usually all I think of is:
- "What would Kirby look like if he copied this character?"
- "What would this character's alternate costumes be?"
- (for characters who aren't from a series that's already in the game) "What would this character's series symbol be?"
- MAYBE a game mechanic that would be unique to that one character
- MAYBE taunts and MAYBE special moves and a Final Smash.
And usually I don't write about or draw any of these ideas either - just think about it.
But lately, due to my constantly being obsessed with Mary O. (who unfortunately is still obscure enough that I feel like I have to link to that article again), I've been thinking more and more about what it'd be like if she and Yamamura were playable in Super Smash Bros. as a 2-in-1 character similar to Duck Hunt.
In fact I first thought of this idea at some point before April Fools' Day 2017 (see the music tag for that entry), but lately I've been thinking more and more about how this could work, enough that I think I have ideas for their entire hypothetical moveset by now.
And I keep thinking about said moveset so much that writing an entry about it is probably the only way I'm ever going to stop being so distracted thinking about it, even though I doubt it'd be interesting to anyone here (none of you are as obsessed with Mary O. as I am, and a lot of you probably aren't even into Super Smash Bros. enough for this to be of interest to you). So I'll LJ-cut it so I won't bore you. :)
( Blah blah blah Mary O. moving sideways )
It feels so weird that I've put all this thought into making an entire moveset and such for Mary O. & Yamamura for literally no reason since I doubt I'd be making a Super Smash Bros. fangame or hack anytime soon... and it feels especially weird to actually be typing out this ridiculous idea after spending so much time only thinking about it...
Well, now you know what goes on inside my head! :P

Super Mario Beads
Fri, Mar. 16th, 2018 05:03I found these videos randomly one day at some point after Super Mario Beads 3 was already released (so it has to have been November 2012 or later) and meant to post them here* but never did. Then I rediscovered them this week so I finally got around to posting them five years later! :)
*Well, okay, if you're reading this on DW, that's not entirely true because I wasn't on DW yet :P

Everybody?! Everybody!!?!
Sun, Oct. 2nd, 2016 00:28I'm trying not to overuse this phrase too much nowadays, but HOLY WHOLE HAND DEALER.
While watching this, I paused pretty much every second just so I'd have more time to try to identify some of the characters in there. (Which I had to do again anyway so I could put all the characters I recognize in the tags. [EDIT: And, as I usually do, a few that aren't in there and are just tangentially relevant to jokes I used in this entry.]) :D
3, 2, 1, repost
I'm still not sure whether these are more or less weird than I expected. Or both? :)
Let's get a good stretch
Name That Super Smash Bros. Character
Sat, Mar. 21st, 2015 19:43You know Super Smash Bros., right? That fighting game starring such iconic video game all-stars as Larry, Mario, Princess Twinkie, Yogi, Kong 1, Zelda, The Beautiful Woman Interviewing Me, Shamu, Pudgy Airplane, Donald Duck's Offspring, Wombat?, Crash Bandicoot, Yellow Man, Charlie Brown, King Arthur, Knights of the Crooked Sword, Pegasus Dude, The Princess of Something, Triangle-Nosed Boy, The Unknown Yoga Person, Kid With a Crazy Sword Thing, Garfield and Friends, Something the Hedgehog, a LEGO, Happy, and more? ;)
Yeah, apparently, at some point around the time the 3DS and Wii U versions were released, there was a trend of people on YouTube showing their relatives (or, in at least one case, random people) all the playable characters' artwork and asking them to try to guess their names.
These are all of the videos of this sort that I've found so far*, and most of them are just so funny that even if you have no interest in video games whatsoever, I recommend that you watch at least one! :D (I highly recommend not reading the comments on certain ones, though...)
( Cut because I included 12 more, but they're great! )
*Except for one that's in Spanish and doesn't have enough subtitles for me to understand anything besides the characters' actual names. Also, eventually I found that there were so many that I decided to narrow it down by just watching ones that had at least a thousand views for now (though that was after I watched a couple that had less).
Offer up this entry to Some Goddess Person

Lame swine flu joke of the yesterday
Sun, Nov. 29th, 2009 13:31
pathvain_aelien: (something about how it's hard for me to beat Big Bullet Bill in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games because he's a bullet)MOM: Yeah, but he hasn't had the pig flu!
*groan* What's even worse is that there was another lame swine flu joke yesterday and I forgot it. Fortunately, I'm getting better now, so I shouldn't have to put up with this for too much longer. Unfortunately, school starts tomorrow, and the students at school are WAY too obsessed with lame popular culture, including the swine flu. :(
Big Bullet Bill can repost this faster than you
Twilight becomes you
Have you seen New Moon? If so, how do you think it compared to the book? Was it better or worse than Twilight? Please, no spoilers!
Answer View Answers
(if you wanna understand my subject line, click "read more")
I haven't seen New Moon yet, but I've seen Twilight twice. (Why are you looking at me like that?) In my opinion, Twilight's alright if you don't think about its excessive popularity. Like this Writer's Block. Grr...
In fact, that's the way I think about almost everything that's way too popular. Just put anything that's really popular into the following sentence and you'll usually get my opinion on it: "In my opinion, _________ is/are alright if you don't think about its/their excessive popularity."
i.e.:
In my opinion, Sonic the Hedgehog games are alright if you don't think about their excessive popularity.
In my opinion, the Jonas Brothers are alright if you don't think about their excessive popularity.
In my opinion, Chuck Norris jokes are alright if you don't think about their excessive popularity.
In my opinion, Firefox is alright if you don't think about its excessive popularity.
...and so on and so forth.
In my opinion, reposting is alright if you don't think about its excessive popularity. (actually it isn't excessively popular)

I Don't Normally Do This Kind of Thing
Have you ever found yourself enjoying something you had previously scorned as a cliché? What was it?
Answer View Answers
Hmm, let's see...
- Sonic games, but I still think Mario's better, and that there are far too many Sonic webcomics for any of them to be good. (One of the reasons I left SmackJeeves)
- "SH00P DA W00P". I thought it was a cliché until I saw its origin, the Lazer Collection, and decided that the Lazer Collection was cool, but overuse in webcomics isn't, another reason I left SmackJeeves.
- Chuck Norris jokes; I like to hear them only every once in awhile.
EDIT: One I couldn't think of off the top of my head originally:
- Boot to the head. I thought it, as well as anything at all Phoenix Wright-related, was cliché until I actually watched the video. 'Twas hilarious.
The opposite also happens to me sometimes - I enjoy something, but then later scorn it as a cliché. Here's a list of those:
- Starfox games
- Pokémon games (I still think the Red, Blue, and Yellow versions are good, though. It just got too complicated starting with Gold and Silver. And Nintendo had no right to replace Mewtwo with Lucario in SSBB.)
- Captain Falcon (It gets annoying to see and/or hear "FALCON PUNCH!!" a lot on the Internet)
For both lists, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
FALCON REPOST!!

Final Smash: AVADA KEDAVRA!!
Sat, Jul. 11th, 2009 13:10
So I was playing SSBB last night while pathvain_aelien and I were talking about several topics relating to the Zelda characters, and eventually we ended up deciding that Link would be sorted into Gryffindor, Zelda would be sorted into Ravenclaw, and Ganondorf would be sorted into Slytherin if they went to Hogwarts. That inspired me to decide on which House all SSBB characters would be sorted into.
( LJ-CUT'D!! )

You Don't Know Me
Our friends don't always know us as well as they think, particularly when it comes to likes and dislikes. Which popular book, movie, band, food, TV show, etc. would your friends be surprised to hear that you don't like?
Answer View Answers
Books: None that I can think of off the top of my head
Movies: ditto
Bands: The Beatles, Elvis
Foods: pie (If I ever figure out who made that overused on the Internet, he/she is gonna pay...)
TV shows: Once again, drawing a blank
Etc.: Nearly all overused jokes that don't fall into the above categories. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are "SH00P DA W00P", "I see what you did there", "That's what she said", "your mom", and almost anything that originated from Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega Man, Metal Gear, and Halo fanbases. There are some overused jokes I like though, such as "boot to the head".
Insult
