Why is tehjaybo hanging out with loli experts?

Why is tehjaybo hanging out with loli experts?

Well, we sorta both know this one guy who's really into Japanese anime. We both used to work with him.

[tehjaybo]

They aren't experts by any means.  They just both cringed every time it was mispronounced.  Not making a big deal of it, I just wanted to mention it.

First podcast I've gotten a chance to listen to in a while. Good stuff.

Agreed totally on the kiddy label for SMG2. I hesitate to ever willingly agree with Morgan Manjaw, but like you said it's simply calling a spade a spade. Nintendo games like SMG2, Paper Mario, Wind Waker, etc. are good games, but it doesn't mean that their specific graphic styles weren't geared towards a particular audience, in this case, small children.

Surprised there's still a good load of story, especially since Miyamoto said he fought hard to make sure there wouldn't be much.

"Cartoony" comment aside, I thought her opinion was a bit on the ridiculous side. It didn't make me mad and I didn't feel like rattling off some 500-word post about how she's stupid for it, though.

Oh, wrong people. I haven't gotten to the mail part yet, lolz.

It's a shame how MNR turned out.  It seems like there can't be a good Mario Kart clone or a game that is better than the Mario Kart series.  Except CTR, which blew away the glitch ridden Mario Kart 64.

Also, discussing how to pronounce "loli" is evil: by discussing the pronunciation, you are legitimizing it.

[Eel O'Brian]

I was sorely disappointed.  I keep wanting to like Kart racers, but they insist on making me hate them twenty yards before the finish line.

[brob]

I still play CTR. I don't even think it looks ugly, it's just awesome in every way. Now, if they had ripped off that game whole-sale and thrown all these customization mechanics on top of that, it would easily be the game of forever as far as kart racing is concerned.

Prole, you ever gonna review Cryostasis?

[Van Cruncheon]

it's in my massive backlog!

[Joe Molotov]

What about your massive frontlog? 

[Smooth Groove]

His massive frontlog and massive backlog are one and the same.  It's why Drinky Crow is an internet legend.
