I'm making a joke about how Bayonetta won the Smash ballot mainly because of Europe's votes. :lengua:

Cool, but why did you tag me?

It took me a while to realize that the person playing Zelda was not a girl...

I forgot about the PC! That's a close one.

The PC doesn't count.

Are any of you fans of Lucha Libre? Do you have a favorite luchador? Mine is Blue Demon Jr.

Yo! Guys!. I have been trying to show you this for ages, but I always had an error message, tapatalk or computer which eventually made me gave up. Today I had another go, got the errors and just print screen the thing and tried again. Pretty ridiculous approach but somehow it worked.

This is the second one. I think for first time online. Like I said not very happy with the execution. Mostly the skull, way too dark although I was trying to make the "smile" to stand out.
I was basically trying to do my own spin on "La Catrina". La Catrina is a well dressed "skull" from somewhere around the first decades of the XX century. It has evolved somewhat since then but the original drawing, for a newspaper is still the most known one. The message basically is that death makes no distinction. No matter how much class or money you got, we all going to share the same end. So it was a small jab to the elite of Mexico feeling superior by reminding them of this.

Behind 'her' There's some cempasúchil (Marigolds). In mexico that flower is linked to the Day of the Death and many people buy and bring to the tombs these flowers. It's name means 20 (petal) flower in Nahuatl. If I recall correctly the reason for its use in altars is because it is reminiscent of the Sun. The sun was believed by the Aztecs to guide the souls of our ancestors. In some regions they make a way from the doorstep to the altar with the petals. Originally I had filled the picture with them but the later on decided against. I still couldn't come with anything else to feature as the background so I just left it like that.

That's a really awesome painting and the background info about the Mexican culture is fascinating. What kind of error did you have when trying to post that picture in the past?

Uhm... What is?

20 years ago, March 9th, 1996, Super Mario RPG Legend of Seven Stars was released for the SNES.

Many gamers regard it as Nintendo's best RPG game to date. Venturebeat and Kotaku celebrate Super Mario RPG Legend of Seven Stars's 20th anniversary by trying to explain why the RPG series has gone down a... less RPG road.

Have you played this game? What is your opinion about it?

The Ferris Bueller reference

"Oh hi, you're still here. The movies over....."

Yeah, they didn't show that in the movie theater I watched it in. They just faded to white during the credits and we all left.

Pretty neat, eh?

This comic is pretty funny:

Do you have any techniques for remembering pokemon type advantages? Most of them are pretty simple to remember, but some of them can be a little confusing...

Which is your second favorite game consoles manufacturing company after Nintendo?

Sony? Microsoft? Valve? Nvidia? Which one?

What is your favorite pokemon in the anime as far as looks are concerned? Putting abilities and types aside, which pokémon is just "wow" in terms of looks / design?

Do you have sad songs to share too? :^o^:

What do you think about Cancer by My Chemical Romance?

Quote from Sardonic Pickle

All Link/Zelda cosplays just look weird to me. It just can't work outside a game.

So, you've never seen one that is incredibly close to the characters so far?

Did you watch Deadpool, the overhyped live action movie starring Ryan Reynolds? I did, and I'm probably in the small minority of people who didn't like it. I was expecting a completely different approach to the character. I mean, sure, they got the fourth wall breaking thing right (sort of), but other than that, I found it to be a mess of a movie. It seemed like one of those parody movies made by the guys who took over the "Scary Movie" series (Disaster Movie, Meet The Spartans, Superhero Movie etc.). I know that Deadpool doesn't take itself seriously in the comics, but there's a difference between not taking yourself seriously and making the entire movie a series of jokes with a very thin plotline.

I made a video review about it, even though I don't usually make video reviews on my YouTube channel. This movie bothered me so much that I made an exception.

Let me know what you thought about the movie if you watched it. :^_~:

What are your plans in regards to the upcoming Nintendo console, the NX?

Do you intend to purchase it, and if so - when do you plan to do it? Right after its launch? Or will you wait a couple of years?

In this video, Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda talks about the hardware issues that almost prevented Pokemon Red and Green from happening. Can you imagine that? What a scary thought! :o.O:

What was the very last game you purchased for the Wii before moving on and buying a Wii U?

When/If you have kids, do you see yourself playing video games with them? Do you intend to buy your children whatever futuristic consoles Nintendo might come out with in the next decades?

The Cranberries

Gotta love The Cranberries. Most of the time, their videos are so weird that they completely throw you off from the meaning of the song and the message that the lyrics are supposed to convey. :pokerlink:
