Okay so we wanted to make a Tweet about Mothers' Day for Operation Rainfall and were brainstorming mothers from gaming, until I said, "Y'know, what if we did more than one Tweet?" and was more or less told "Here's the Twitter login stuff; go for it." ...Well. https://twitter.com/oprainfall/status/597501052280115200 https://twitter.com/oprainfall/status/597505652483690496 https://twitter.com/oprainfall/status/597513071532183552 i realized only after i tweeted it that the earthbound one should say "to your mother" instead of "from" Bonus: https://twitter.com/oprainfall/status/597534909104824320
First announced and discussed as Project Ukulele, Yooka-Layleee is a 3D platformer with an emphasis on item collecting. Created by Playtonic Games, a company made up almost entirely of former Rare employees, the game serves as a spiritual successor to the beloved Banjo-Kazooie series. Yooka, the chameleon, can roll to attack enemies, while Laylee, the wisecracking bat, can lift Yooka and fly both characters across wide spaces. The game is being funded through Kickstarter. The goal of £175,000 will yield releases for PC, Mac, and Linux, while Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U releases will be added at the stretch goal of £1,000,000. The current estimated release is October 2016. Check out the official website here. EDIT: And in only thirty-eight minutes, the game is officially funded! EDIT 2: Last night the game blew past £1,000,000, which means the game will release on all listed platforms on day one! New stretch goals have been added, though I don't know how they're going to keep thinking of stretch goals at the rate the Kickstarter is going.
choose wisely
if i see any more people putting Ice Climbers, characters who are already Assist Trophies, Final Smashes, or Poke Balls, or frickin anime characters on their Smash ballots.
Bandai Namco is opening rights to seventeen of its older IPs to Japanese developers (they're considering later opening it up to foreign and independent developers as well), hoping to revive interest in the franchises. Developers will be able to use or alter the characters, stories, and music for these IPs as they please beginning in April (though Bandai Namco reserves the right to deny the use of the IPs in games they deem offensive). The IPs are as follows: Pac-Man Xevious Galaxian The Tower of Druaga Tower of Babel Dragon Buster Wonder Momo Galaga Battle City Valkyrie no Bōken (The Adventure of Valkyrie) Yōkai Dōchūki (Shadow Land) Wagan Land Dig Dug Star Luster Sky Kid Genpei Tōma Den More details here.
Not an April Fools joke--there really is going to be a Direct tomorrow at 3PM PT. The Direct will cover upcoming 3DS and Wii U releases, and will then be followed by a Treehouse stream of a spring release. You'll be able to watch on Nintendo's website here, or on their Twitch channel here.
Somewhere earlier on this semester, I started getting behind in the class, and that feeling has only intensified each day of class. Even when I feel like I'm starting to grasp concepts while working in class, the teacher will pass out a quiz and I realize I don't understand it at all. Some of this is my fault, I admit--the teacher posts video notes online that we're supposed to watch and copy to be ready for the next class, and my track record with those is spotty. Another problem is that I had a bit of a break between my senior year pre-calc-lite class and this calculus class; this is the class that the school's math placement test told me I should take, and I went with it despite my misgivings. But the fact of the matter is that I'm failing the class hard. The biggest obstacle to me dropping or not dropping is my parents, my mom in particular. She's of the mindset that when you're failing a class, you don't give up; you do assignments you've missed, you retake tests, you ask for extra credit, you work harder on getting assignments done... This class doesn't allow for retakes. I know all the extra credit opportunities, and they're not enough. The teacher doesn't accept late work. I'm just so far behind in the class' concepts. And this isn't even getting into the problem with the number of credits and such. Not to mention that I know, even if my parents don't say, that they want me at home and not busy as little as possible. I'm the family's high school graduate doing the least with my life, still living at home and unemployed, with no solid plan for my future, and I feel like it wears on my parents. They have high standards already, and my older siblings haven't exactly set an easy bar. Math is my least favorite core subject. I dread going to the class. I go in each day with the mindset and goal of just enduring it. It's bringing my GPA (and my emotional health, I'm willing to bet) down. But I feel like I'm stuck between a rock--my failing grade and dislike for the subject--and a hard place--my parents' stubbornness and standards.
No plot has been announced for this spin-off from CW's DC Universe, but it has several cast members from its predecessors, alongside some new ones: Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer/The Atom Wentworth Miller as Leonard Snart/Captain Cold Dominic Purcell as Mick Rory/Heat Wave Victor Garber as Dr. Martin Stein Ciara Renee as Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl Caity Lotz as [tba] (Sara Lance/Black Canary?) Two other characters are slated to be part of the show, but have yet to be announced or cast, though both are said to be superheroes making their live-action debuts. This version of Hawkgirl is reported to be "a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When provoked, her ancient warrior persona manifests itself, along with wings that grow out of her back, earning her the moniker Hawkgirl." [x]
He said on FB that whatever's wrong shouldn't be serious or anything...but the last two creators whose work I enjoyed who went to the hospital didn't come back. So I'm a little apprehensive, even if it is irrational... Hope everything's okay and that he's out soon (and that he'll sTOP WORRYING SO MUCH ABOUT GETTING US VIDEOS ON TIME PLEASE MARK TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF YOU DESERVE IT ESPECIALLY AFTER A HOSPITAL TRIP)

I tried embedding a Soundcloud link in a post just a second ago--I know it should work; I've done it before, and it's listed under the sites supported by the video embed option--but each time I tried to make the post with the link, the site would tell me: The following error occurred: A server error occurred. Please try again later. The same pop-up appeared when I tried to edit the link into the post. Help?
For clarifying purposes, the score is the instrumental music heard through the movie. It does not include insert songs or songs sung by characters. What's your favorite score from the Disney Animated Canon? From Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to Big Hero 6, what music did you enjoy the most? Personally, I think The Lion King has the best score, followed closely by Mulan. EDIT: and The Hunchback of Notre dame i can't believe i forgot it i am a digrace ;__;
pLEASE TELL ME THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS WATCHING THIS SHOW BECAUSE I JUST BINGED THE WHOLE THING TODAY AND NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO
From the mind of Yuji Naka, the creator of Sonic the Hedgehog and NiGHTS, Rodea the Sky Soldier was initially conceived as a Wii game, but went through development hell for a few years before being re-revealed for the 3DS and Wii U (though the original Wii version will be released as part of the Wii U game). This action game focuses on Rodea, a mechanical soldier with the ability to fly, being flung 1,000 years into the future to help save his kingdom. The game will be released in Japan on April 2, with releases in North America and Europe scheduled for this fall. The official North American site can be found here.

Exactly what it says on the tin. Play nice, everyone.
Sara brought this up in the RWBY thread, but I figured since not everyone who likes RoosterTeeth likes RWBY, I'd make a new thread about it. Monty was hospitalized today, and is in critical care. It's currently not clear if he'll make a full recovery. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with hospital fees and family support and such here. Read RoosterTeeth's post on the matter here.
I PRE-ORDERED A GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER AND ALL BY MYSELF I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS EXCITES ME SO MUCH BUT IT DOES
