Someone obviously forgot to dust it.

Re-read my post, I said I've gotten "Gold or higher scores". I have got a few Platinums.

And I don't suck at it, I've been getting good scores. The cutscenes are diabolical, truly diabolical.

I said pure platinums or at least platinum iirc, meaning platinum minimum score, with a few pure platinums on the way, not gold and a few platinums. If you are button mashing, you do suck. Gold and a few platinums isn't really a good score.*

Diabolically good, as per your description. Agreed.

I love cheesy fun, but I don't find Bayonettas cutscenes funny, at all. Just shockingly bad. And dat keyboard jazz music is just.... unfathomable. I dont want to skip cutscenes because otherwise I have no understanding of what is happening or why it's happening and yet I can get stuck in an overlong cutscene and feel my will to live slowly ebbing away.

Now this is cheesy fun.

You don't need to know what's going on. Just skip them.

*Better than my scores on my first playthrough after the beginning, though. But I was tremendously awful at Bayo 1 until the last few levels.

Gold and a few Platinums for button mashing proves I AM AWESOME

If I skip the cutscenes it detaches me even further from what is going on.

Good news inklings, you can play online with friends on day 1, it works like Mario Kart- you just join a friend online

Are you on the same team, and do you stay together after the game ends?

I haven't tested it yet, but I would imagine that if you opt to join a friend it wouldn't then split you up after the round ends. That would be really stupid. As for what team you are on, I think it probably flips you every round but I haven't tested it.

Another blazing row with my father over my brothers douchebaggery.

Looks like I won't be seeing my father anymore. I'm tired of arguing with dickheads.

GG sometimes it may work out best to cut yourself off at least temporarily.  When all you get out of contact with family is aggro, sometimes it's not worth it.  It's not the ideal situation but it may be the lesser of two evils and it may help them see sense (though it seems unlikely by the sound of it)

He's like talking to a wall, completely doesn't respect how I feel about anything. I cannot believe that after our blazing row two weeks ago he's gone and done the same thing. Feels awful when one of the people you love most in the world thinks it's okay to make you miserable to keep your brother and his wife happy.

10-year-old girl explains the Nintendo bias

She said:

I really like Splatoon a lot. But I feel like if I told the other kids that I was playing Splatoon they might not think it was all that great. Because it's Nintendo, and they think Nintendo is for kids. And it doesn’t have blood and guts. And even if it was fun, they wouldn’t admit it. Because they want to seem more grown up. But I don't care, because Nintendo games are adorable. And fun. Especially this one.

A 10 year old.

She goes on to give Splatoon impressions.

Carnage in responce to this states:

Given the fact Minecraft and to a lesser extent, Skylanders and Disney Infinity are extremely popular among kids (far more so than Mario) I see that claim as baseless and bizarre. Its probably something she picked up from Nintendo fansites

Yes he trolls 10 year old girls now.

When you're a kid, you want to grow up as fast as possible because you want to be "cool". I was the same way, as I'm sure most of us here were.

I never cared for the Nintendo kiddie shit though, because to me it just never made sense. Sure, they could definitely use more 1st party adult oriented content, but other than that they're no different than anyone else. Even back in the SEGA days, that was the argument, that SEGA was more mature. I always looked at it like, yeah, they're games are more edgy than Nintendo's, but that doesn't stop Super Mario and Zelda from being just as awesome as anything SEGA does.

And now, all these years later...the players have changed but its still that same philosophy applied.

I was never in a rush to grow up and that still rings true today. I want to enjoy the things I do because I love them, regardless of how people may feel about it. Like re-capturing all those memories of Saturday morning cartoons I used to watch. I don't feel anyone should have to apologise for the things that bring them happiness, which is completely at odds with judgemental sackcraps like my brother.

I never had the whole Nintendo is kiddy argument growing up, perhaps because the NES was never huge here like it was in America. We all had SNES or Genesis and played either - or both, with no complaints really. It's really only through the media and particularly through forums that I see this weird bias existing.

This.  I was also unaware of "teh Kiddie" argument until I started using the internet and discovered gamespot.

BTW that was the funniest alpha-omega episode out of all the ones I watched.
