zedprime posted:Waluigi is perhaps the trickster totem of modern day video game players. In this essay we will explore how Waluigi anchors the Nintendo multiverse for fans and how to best channel this chaos through his totem for use in improving your personal life. Waluigi is the ultimate example of the individual shaped by the signifier. Waluigi is a man seen only in mirror images; lost in a hall of mirrors he is a reflection of a reflection of a reflection. You start with Mario – the wholesome all Italian plumbing superman, you reflect him to create Luigi – the same thing but slightly less. You invert Mario to create Wario – Mario turned septic and libertarian – then you reflect the inversion in the reflection: you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere man, without the other characters he reflects, inverts and parodies he has no reason to exist. Waluigi’s identity only comes from what and who he isn’t – without a wider frame of reference he is nothing. He is not his own man. In a world where our identities are shaped by our warped relationships to brands and commerce we are all Waluigi.

It's going to be weird in a couple of decades when Waluigi is the main character and it becomes a fun trivia fact that the Mario cameo guy was once the icon.

It’s probably a DVD disc, but yeah it was probably the workprint copy that had the Tron Legacy soundtrack. I remember having an American Pie 2 bootleg DVD that boasted DTS sound. And it did I guess, in the fact the DTS light came on, but it was still just cammed audio encoded in that format.

Someone posted these on a Dragon Ball group I'm in and I thought I should share because these are hilarious.    (for the prices, those are ARS, so the cheapest one there is $23.36 and the more expensive ones are $32.98...still far more than they're actually worth)

A redhead sexy pirate literally called Miss Fortune? Yes, I reckon they were inspired by LoL. But they gave her a choker, so now it's an original legally distinct character.

My self-published fan fic also has a sexy pirate named Miss Fortune, but she's blonde. ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL She also canonically loves hairy Flemish guys and doesn't mind if they're a little out of shape. Get out your Kindles

My fillings are screaming watching that. (I’m guessing the current packaging is of a material that doesn’t do anything, but Kit Kat wrappers in the old days were loving torture devices for the mouth).

So, two things are going on there. In Europe, there was some licensing fuckery, resulting in some NES units like: And others like:  However, they are both for the PAL format. So, this bootleg cart is probably only compatible with an NTSC NES, which neither an “NES version” or “Mattel version” NES is.
