Last year, I tried Amiibo Madness, but it was a giant pain in the ass because I had to do it all in screen shots. No mas, I said to myself, but then Nintendo added a feature to Smash that lets you upload video. It is so lazy, it's beautiful. I'm sitting here typing up this post while my WiiU does all the hard shit. Fuck, maybe I should be playing Mass Effect 3 on WiiU.
... Mass Effect with amiibos. Tap to spam a power.
Whatever. This year I've got teams. And a bracket. Let's view our teams!
Also, you're getting toad cheerleaders! So enjoy that in each picture.
Team Mario! The classic.
Team Zelda! Because there's only like seven thousand Zelda amiibos.
"Hey Bean, why is Toon Link there?" Because I put regular Link in with:
Pretty Anime Swordsmen! Husbando's a little pissed off that I put Link in the 'pretty' category, but look at that fucker. He's got the best guyliner on the pretty team.
16 Bit Supremacy! SNES Best NES. Don't tell Sonic.
Nintendo Hates Us! These fighters are ready to kick ass and take name and also get a new game on a current gen console what the hell.
Nintendo Princesses! Because that's a brand that's totally worked out for MSPixel in the past.
Cutie Patoots! Because wookit, so cutie. So patoot.
You know, I should have probably flipflopped Ness and Lucas, but Lucas is a little more of a cutie patoot so he stays.
Team Girl! Because Nintendo is all about girls, even non-princess ones.
Did you need Samus and Toadette together in that picture? Yes you did.
Here's your bracket so you can keep up with the tournament.
Go ahead, fill it out, and then watch the first two games in the tournament below!
HEY! It's Husbando~'s birthday! Blow up his phone if you want, his public twitter is @UKSalsaKat.
Speaking of phones,
You can space skype with all the still-living honorable mentions if you want. They all basically say the same thing, so enjoy this montage.
Let's make our way up the shambles of war-torn London and see what we can see.
Wait a minute --
Probably I'll elaborate on this later, but it bothers me how many people watched the credits roll to Mass Effect 3 and instantly thought, "And then they all had a ton of babies!" Like, holy hell, slow down there.
It also bothers me that Garrus just wants to go grab a few baby krogans. Like, ey, maybe the krogans want to raise those kids?
There's a lot of the Garrus conversation that's iconic, and I don't want to mess with it too much.
Except for the fact that I'm an ornery piece of shit and I'm going to mess with it some.
... which was a very obscure Game Boy game, actually!
But first, hey Bean, where have you been?
Nowhere important, just spilling soda on my laptop and breaking it to the point where it's barely functional.
HP was a complete pain in the ass to deal with and holy shit I wouldn't buy a bottle of water off of them in the future, but they did have a decent President's day sale and they did manage to send me a new computer 15 days earlier than they said they would.
I think I want one of those stickers to cover the HP logo. Not an N7 sticker, though, everyone has an N7 sticker on their computer.
Guess what happened literally the day I got my new computer operating.
... as a Mass Effect fan, I'm totally fine with this. I still think 3 needed six months more dev time, at minimum. As a smart mouth blogger, I am scrapping for shit you guys. I have plans, but they were gonna get me through, like, fall.
I'll figure something out. Want to land in London?
So, let's find some squadmates.
I'm'a be real, some of them are more interesting than others.
