Recommend me some of your favorite sad songs you know, regardless of the genre. Feel free to post links to them if they can be found online.

I guess you've already heard about the rumor that Smash Bros will be a launch title for Nintendo's upcoming NX console... So let me ask you: which characters do you want in the game and which do you not want in?

It's quite fascinating how a visually-impaired person can beat this quite complex video game. Here is the video of his last battle:

What's interesting about Beetlejuice, the animated series, is the fact that it was the first and probably only attempt of regular Cartoon Network animators to adapt to Tim Burton's drawing style. You know how recently some artists took it as a challenge to adapt various cartoon and tv shows characters to Tim Burton's style (such as Doctor Who and various Disney characters just to see what they would look like? Well, Beetlejuice was exactly the opposite of this. They took characters that had originally been created by Tim Burton and tried to adapt them as much as possible to a child-friendly, Cartoon Network-ish show. They do resemble Tim Burton's earlier cartoons (e.g.: Vincent), but also have a more Hanna & Barbera look to them and a more fluid way of moving than the stiff movements that are characteristic of Burton's cartoons.

I've never watched any of the ones mentioned in this thread so far. I'll have to check them out when I have some free time.

If we're talking about old cartoons, does "Cow and Chicken" and "Beetlejuice" fall into this category? Those are the earliest cartoon shows I remember watching as a kid.

Google is everywhere, therefore Youtube is everywhere. It's just too hard for anything to compete with it.

I dunno about that. Facebook and Twitter seem to compete pretty well with Google + (Google's failed social network).

DailyMotion has struggled for a long time to compete with YouTube and Vimeo as the second or third most popular video sharing website on the internet. However, despite their recent attempts to create a revenue program for content creators that is just as well-thought as YouTube's, despite their new video streaming platforms that competes with Twitch and YouTube Live, and despite the fact that they have invested in creating mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone, they don't seem to be increasing in popularity at all. On the contrary, their traffic seems to be slowly decreasing and no famous content creators make videos for DailyMotion.

Why do you think this video sharing site is losing so badly to YouTube?

The 3DS is probably one of the most widely-discussed Nintendo product. It seems to surpass in popularity even the Wii. Do you think it is a bit overrated? Do you think the Wii and Wii U deserve to be more in the spotlight than the 3DS when it comes to the history of the Nintendo devices?

But where's the fun in doing that?

If you have any questions about showdown, you can ask me or anyone else who has knowledge of showdown.

Go on...

Which are your favorite weapons in Splatoon and why?

This is a pretty awesome biography of the late Satoru Iwata. I think all Nintendo fans should check it out. The video presents his life, his accomplishments and why he was important to the video games industry.

They're adorable. Unfortunately, I can't have rats as pets because my grandma is terrified of them and knowing that there are rats in the house would probably give her a heart attack.

That's very interesting article about the upcoming Legend Of Zelda game. Which of the 5 things mentioned in the article do you think is the most important one?

Firefox, because it has never given me any trouble, and Chrome is a neverending headache for me. I swear anytime somebody asks me to fix their slow computer, all I have to do is end the Chrome process and voila.

I agree. Chrome is a big joke in my opinion. I've always hated it and I was very disappointed when Opera decided to switch their rendering engine to Chromium.

Which browser do you currently use and why did you choose this one?

As someone who's used Burning Board before, I really, really wouldn't be that happy if Zelda Cavern switched to it. I mean, it's not terrible software, but I've always found XenForo just so, so much more enjoyable to use as a member.

It also near enough killed my last site's community altogether...

Personally, I prefer WBB to XenForo. Seeing how I intend to use WBB for a future community that I will launch next year, may I ask how it near killed your last site's community?

Welcome to the forums! See you around.

I don't really see the similarities between WBB and XenForo, but then again I have not used XenForo as admin. To me, WBB looks like a watered-down version of IPB.
