Super Mario Galaxy is the SMB3 of 3D platforming

[HAMMER FRENZY]

Ha, I like all those shows. I really like Wondershowzen and all the Tim and Eric stuff. I really think it is a matter of liking random, surrealist humor. I really have to put an emphasis on random here cause Tim and Eric are fucking random.

[HaemishM]

I seriously just do not get that shit at all.

surreal tangent comedy, whats not to get?

No, see, that's not surreal tangent comedy, that's just two jackasses with an avid machine smoking too much dope and thinking they are funnier than they are. There's nothing funny about that video.

Frisky Dingo, Sealab, Aqua Teen (with the exception of a few episodes like the Dickesode), those are surreal tangent comedy. I see funnier stuff when my niece and nephew sing songs in front of the family than I do in any of the Tim and Eric stuff.

that was just one little skit i recomend an entire episode, the crappy video effects are part of the joke... duh

[HaemishM]

I get that. I just don't think it's funny. I've seen episodes of Tom Goes to the Mayor, and never found anything funny about them either.

yeah it's an aquired taste... the jokes are in the facial expressions and stuff. so don't worry abot it too much, okay pep pep?

[HAMMER FRENZY]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH pep pep..

[voodoolily]

Haemish never thinks things that I like are funny either, so don't feel bad. 

[Yegolev]

My problem with Wondershowzen is that it literally doesn't want me to watch it.  I tried.  It hurts me.

[voodoolily]

What about the Slaves! song? That was gold.

[schild]

It's the hot dog highway! Beep Beep!

[HAMMER FRENZY]

"I'm not a stranger son, my name is Steve..."   

Genius....

[Margalis]

I just beat it after getting all 120 stars.

My only complaint would be that a few of the purple coin challenges were tedious. Other than that it was pitch-perfect from start to finish.

[Sutro]

Harvey Birdman? Yes.

[Fabricated]

Tom Goes to the Mayor was the worst thing ever put on broadcast TV until the Tim and Eric Awesome Show. I don't know how to describe it, but they somehow managed to make a show so bad, that your time would actually be better spent in a coma.

[Mazakiel]

I just...don't get Tim and Eric at all.  God awful trash, all around.  How they managed to get not only one show, but two, is a fucking travesty.  I used to be able to watch Adult Swim nonstop, now I have to jump back and forth because of all the crap they have these days. 

[Hoax]

Agreed, [AS] has gone way the fuck downhill.

That fact was really driven home around the time that Tom, 12oz Mouse and Squidbillies were the only thing on and once you got past them it was Inuyasha time.  I miss Teen Titans...


As for the game this thread was about, I'm looking forward to buying it.  While I never got into 3d Mario on the 64 (I didn't own a 64 ever, that didn't help) it was a decent game.  The wii is the only console worth owning if you are a PC gamer, which is why I look forward to owning one.  If I wanted to play good looking games I would be on my pc.  When people are over I prefer they bring girls, the wii finally creates an environment where girls and video games can mix without said girls being fugly as hell.  This is nice. This is why I like the wii.  That and things like wii shooting, the minigame game w/ the bunnies and the new zelda seemed pretty spiffy when I tried them out. 

Final thought:  Does anyone know how to suck less at wii boxing?  I mean goddamn I am fucking awful at that game for some reason.

[bhodi]

I have 102 stars. I must collect them all.

[Prospero]

Have you done the Wii Boxing training games? Those did wonders for my boxing.

What worked for me was not being a fucking pussy.

[Yegolev]

I'm a pure natural at Wii Boxing, so... no help here.

Today my son broke into a gushing explanation of what we did in Super Mario Galaxy last night to our waitress.  Good thing he's so cute since his conversation topics are so outside the mainstream.  Also, SMG is the best parental carrot to date.  It's even better than threat of physical punishment.

[geldonyetich2]

Harvey Birdman? Yes.

Pretty much the last good series to come out of that studio.

Venture Brothers and Boondocks are good too, but different studios.

[HaemishM]

You forgot Frisky Dingo.

[schild]

Perfect Hair Forever you bastards!

[geldonyetich2]

I stand corrected on Frisky Dingo.   That one starts out pretty cheesy, SeaLab 2021 bad, but gets better.

Perfect Hair Forever... I'm honestly surprised anyone besides me found it amusing.  Freaky show.

[Hoax]

You forgot Frisky Dingo.

People really need to stop doing that, fucking show is so many flavors of awesome its like a rainbow in my brain.

Ok but I already have a penis, I'm glad you've joined the club, but do you have any more ideas?

[Margalis]

Here are my Wii boxing tips:

Hold the coltrolls pointing towards the ceiling.

Do a 1,2 by flicking your wrists down so that the controllers are parallel to the ground.

From there, go down a bit further and back up to do an uppercut.

To throw a hook start with controller pointing at ceiling and rotate in towards your other hand.

I typically do a one-two jab followed by either a hook or an uppcut. Remember that with good timing you will get the longer hit stun effect so you have to slow down your timing a little bit. Also remember to dodge and try to get the matrix dodging effect.

Finally, and most importantly, use timing and rythm, don't spasm. If you spasm everything gets all fucked up and you won't be able to control your character at all.

Haha I just fuck with you because you're my birthday twin.

The trick is to not throw actual punches (too exhausting, but actually a great upper-body cardio workout). Just tap at the air with the wiimotes (like doing "air" drumsticks) while tilting/pointing them in unison to bob and weave. If your opponent is weaving to one side, weave with him/her to land some good punches. Also, aiming low seems to work well, as they mostly guard the face.

[Litigator]

I dug "Tom Goes To The Mayor" because it had a general premise: People who live in small post-industrial middle-American towns are stupid.   "Rats Off To Ya" was funny because it was the sort of shit that would actually become a trend, kind of like Baha Men music or Nick Lachey, or those Croc shoes.

Also, I kind of get a kick out of the buffet restaurant being the site for all the city council meetings and important events. And Bob Odenkirk is usually funny.
