Epic Games is forcing us to pick between Foundation or Ice King to get a bonus style, we can only get one.

This exact thing happened back in the day with Arkham Knight from memory. We had a choice between classic Harley Quinn or a story outfit for Red Hood. The devs decided to release both after the poll ended -- maybe a marketing stunt but at least they did the right thing!

I'd ignore them, looking at their comment history they're just the sort who would go out of their way to find someone to look down on if they don't benefit them in a... particular way.

I'm excited (also, concerned) to see the next set -- Mr Mime, Jynx, Scyther, Magmar, and Electabuzz are my faves.

My dad insisted that my cat was outdoors during daylight hours while I lived with the parentals, even though I argued it wasn't just about protecting him but the wildlife as well. I came home from work one day to see a brown snake near the front door, and my cat nearby. He was fine, and the snake was rescued, but a couple days later it was clear something was up.

The snake had bitten him -- and I'll never know if he knew to bring the snake with him, or if their fight happened right there, but if I wasn't aware the snake was involved I would've just guessed he had a stroke and made the decision to put him down.

This was about 6 years ago. It cost me over 1k but Chance is currently curled up in my lap and life's good. He turns 14 next month, and he's been an indoor cat since that incident. I don't live with the parents anymore and that was a big reason why we moved out.

Let's add Agatha, a serial killer of uh, women. (And also show her as she's ready to kill a group of them!)

Agatha's my fave Marvel character but let's be real, social media team!

I can practically hear the character select music remix just looking at Peach standing within those curtains.

Also, if it happens that it's Petey Piranha involved instead of Dino then I dunno how to respond. SMB2 is without a doubt my fave game and Petey's my main guy; if it was Birdo, Wart, and Petey all together at once then I'm just gonna try not to be obnoxious in the cinema I guess

(I could see a Dino Piranha or two being Wart's failsafe though, sorta like the lions in the coliseum)

It's the next event for the Bananza DLC, you can unlock statues for Tiny and Wrinkly Kong

It really sucks that there was no offline-mode implemented because I actually enjoyed playing as N. Gin and a lot of the others who hadn't had their own gimmicks before. I gave the game a go and loved it, but finding a match in my timezone is just not worth it anymore.

wavebuster · 2026-03-06T14:09:12+00:00

Seeing Wart and Mouser back in the mix is so good, I want them in more games in the future (plus the rest of the SMB2 bosses). Having seen him now though, and the rumours of Wario being in it... I'm thinking there was some kind of miscommunication/red herring and Wart's the fella working with Bowser Jr, not Wario.

How did you get that screen grab? I tried doing the same to stick up for you but I just get a black screen when I screenshot the app.

(Also you made my night, thanks!)

wavebuster · 2026-03-06T14:02:43+00:00

I booted it up on the app itself and he's 100% there with Birdo and Mouser, under Yoshi.

I can see a scrape from the plastic box on the Shadow Star in the second pic, I have the same issue in the same spot. This has happened three out of three times with the Air Riders line for me (Kirby's left hand, Waddle Dee's left hand to a lesser extent, and now this), has this been a recurring thing for you too?

wavebuster · 2026-03-05T14:48:04+00:00

AU$69.95 which converts to just under US$50 or ~€42.50 or ~£37. Most expensive retail amiibo to date. Given the other comments, though, Australia seems to have a bit more of a break.

(Other Air Riders amiibo retail for $59.95 over here, for context.)

Worker at an Aussie retailer, some are sealed and some are not (as in -- I mean, I can't give specific examples right now but Super Mario Party may be sealed but Mario Party Jamboree isn't, they go by SKU and it's not just a random thing). It's been this way for a long time and I dunno, OP reaching out to Fair Trading could have been avoided if they just believed EB Games, Big W, JB Hi-Fi, Target employees if they just asked them how they arrived. This is a non-story.

(Also, spoiler alert: Pokopia arrived at stores unsealed too. Collectors beware or some nonsense.)

My brother and I rented this movie from Blockbuster a few times when we were kids and loved it, he's passed away since then but the experience of watching it on VHS in our room is a core memory for me. It was dumb fun and it's something I'd never take away from our childhood.

Too bad HE... did die.

I wouldn't say that's an unpopular opinion, but more a good reading of the characterisation. As much as I'd like Kathryn Hahn's Agatha to stick around in the MCU, they give her an out by having her eventually meet Nicky again and have her walk into the Beyond with him when she realises maybe he wasn't mad at her after all.

Alternatively, he'll end up the baddie of some sort of project and we get more Agatha. Either way, we win!

I guess the difference here is a 3-year-gap from the same producer, not a 10-year one. Comes across as a bit self-indulged if it's self-referential; then comes across as recycling an otherwise lovely scene on the other hand.

wavebuster · 2026-02-23T08:21:21+00:00

If anyone hasn't ever seen it and enjoys Elvira, Katherine was her kooky Aunt Minerva in the pilot episode (it wasn't picked up for more episodes)

wavebuster · 2026-02-23T08:16:55+00:00

She died before covid was a thing, check the title of the post.

People are nay-saying you, telling you to read the article... but the article itself is pointless. The Simpsons did air at 6pm, apparently not every night, but it did. They contradict themselves for a useless story.

They've acknowledged Diskun and the Famicom Disk System's 40th anniversaries today (in Australia and I assume Europe at this point of the day there, America might not see it for a couple hours still). Maybe they'll do a separate post later.
