    I went to a college that has a bit of a rep for substance use, but it's also one of the best colleges... possibly in the country, and in all my life I've scarcely met brighter people than I have there. What's more, speaking as someone with no desire to partake, all of my weed-smoking friends were courteous as can be about it; they'd even offer to open a window when they wanted to smoke, since most of them know the smoke irritates my stomach. I've never seen someone get violent or unstable on the drug, nor have I heard of such in all my years. And bearing in mind the allegations that people who do drugs lose intelligence and perform poorly in school... I, the sober kid, am the only one I know who dropped out.

    Marijuana is not a dangerous drug. Anyone who tells you so is most likely lying or ill-informed. Some of the people who use it are dangerous, but let's reserve the blame for their own idiocy and not foist it onto a poor little plant that just wants to help people kick back and unwind. Plenty of us could use that kind of de-stressor, and it'd be nice not to be thought of as a ne'er-do-well for it.

    Looked up the Pokemon one. The fact that Cheren is holding a beer made me laugh.

    Also, can we talk about the fact that you still have to actually beat the hell out of a human being to win their game? And the fact that the Pikachu in the side banner sports a sign that reads, "I support Team Plasma," despite Team Plasma being the ones who actually steal Pokemon away and kick them for fun? Pardon my French (no offense to Forsaken), but what kinda fucked-up morals are you preaching, PETA? Apparently the games they're lampooning teach kids about oppression and violence instead of compassion, while by the same token they are blatantly teaching kids that counter-aggression is the best way to get things done. Yes, soon the Pokemon will declare martial law, and it will be the humans who are trapped in tiny capsules and forced to fight for the animals' amusement! What a paradise such would be.

    The irony is that the whole thing is meant to illustrate the seemingly unfortunate implications of the Pokemon universe, while all it really does is illustrate the definitely unfortunate implications of their willingness to research their subjects and provide thoughtful criticism. I sincerely hope this is a joke, but even if it is, it's a pretty stupid one.

    Aw c'mon, we can at least try to rationalize it. It may not be real, but it ought to have rules.

    This was brought up in another thread, and I figured it deserved its own. Obviously, KH3D spoilers abound, so be careful.

    So ok. Here are the facts we know:
    • For Sora and Riku's Mark of Mastery exam, they were to dive into sleeping worlds and awaken them.
    • Since they are last seen in Yen Sid's tower before embarking on their dream expedition, it can be assumed they were asleep in Yen Sid's quarters, or somewhere nearby.
    • At some point while the two are asleep, they are led to The World that Never Was, presumably through a Dream Dive since they are shown diving into it in-game.
    • At another point while exploring the area, Sora is captured by the Organization and taken to their headquarters.
    • The rest of the KH crew was forced to enter the base to rescue him, implying he was physically moved from Yen Sid's tower.
    Important questions here: How was Sora moved? Was he awakened at some point, or was he somehow physically warped to TWtNW while sleeping? How did Riku get there? Was he moved, too? If the Org. was behind it, why would they bother? And if he did it himself, how? If no moving at all took place, does that mean everyone else dove into the dreaming worlds to find them? In that case, how did Lea figure it out by himself (since no one knew he was coming)? And most importantly, how did Yen Sid, Donald, or Goofy not notice any of this wtf guys come on. I mean as I recall Maleficent was involved but still.

    Introducing a voice actor at this late a stage? That's risky as hell. It worked for Mario because it was done early enough in his life span that it soon became iconic, and dwarfed the time period where he was silent. Same for Sonic, except for the fact that they keep friggin' changing his VA (although Roger Craig Smith isn't the worst in the lineup). But Link has had so much time to mature as the shouty kid who can't speak English; at this point it'd just be jarring if they changed that.

    I hate to oppose a company taking risks with its franchises, considering how stale and cowardly the industry is getting, but it's one thing to try something brand-new and quite another to rewrite a beloved facet of a classic character. Link is kind of a symbol of hope for silent protagonists everywhere, that yes this does still work, no it's not old-hat, yes people can still enjoy a game with a mute bloke playing the lead. Kinda like how Pokemon was a beacon for 2D games everywhere, until... well, let's save that for another thread.

    True. Guess they were moved at some point, but... that means somebody got them out from under Yen Sid's nose. Good job dude.
