Topic: Safe Words 12: It's true! We rue this Wii U review too. Final Round!

[oohhboy]

Snap, I thought I was bad for not showing up as often as I would like with all this e-mail syncing and technical issues from going overseas making me play catch up.

But good thing I turned up at the critical time.

[Khushrenada]

Yeah, when you mentioned you'd be travelling, I was worried you might miss your chance especially since the first few players were showing up fast and choosing but you did alright in showing up soon enough to be ok.

[Wah]

Sorry I've been working late in the Space Pub!


I pick:
Super Mario 3D World

[Khushrenada]

Unfortunately, all that time in the Space Pub has dulled your senses....










Despite the amount of explosions I know are in this game, this is the best the internet can offer me in bomb related pics. Mark this day down in history as the day the internet failed.

Yes, Super Mario 3D World is quite unpopular. Look how long it took to get chosen in the first round. This means that Steefosaurus will be choosing the next bomb word.

[Khushrenada]

The new bomb word has been selected and Round 2 is ready to begin. First up is Evan_B who better select fast since at the rate he's going Shaymin may be about to ban him.

The choices are:

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
Bayonetta 2
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Pikmin 3
Splatoon
StarFox Zero
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[Evan_B]

Why didn't you put our lord and savior Paper Mario: Color Splash in this game?

I'll go with my personal favorite Wii U game, Paper Mario: Color Splash.

Oh, wait.

I meant Pikmin 3.

[Khushrenada]

I didn't want to make Paper Mario: Color Splash one of the titles because, first, it is already immensely popular and people just won't stop talking about it and. second, I felt it could be used to target you unfairly since that would clearly be the only game you chose so if someone wanted to remove you from the game then all they had to do was select Paper Mario as the bomb word. How's that for a long sentence?


Not that it seemed to have mattered though.....











Just like that Evan_B is done and Steefosaurus makes his presence in this game known with a fast blast. We are moving on to Round 3 and Steefosaurus gets to choose the bomb word again.

[Evan_B]

Wow Steefosaurus, way to be a fucking dick and choose my second favorite game on the Wii U.

[Khushrenada]

The problem is you two switched identities recently so Steefosarus knows exactly how you think. It's like he can read your mind now!

[Evan_B]

...You know what I think?

I think you've all got it in for me. You're just jealous that I actually played games on my Wii U instead of complaining incessantly about "Sales Panics" or lacking third party support, or that Miiverse doesn't allow you draw more than thirty butts a day.

Screw all of you.

[Khushrenada]

Why doesn't Miiverse let me post more than thirty butts a day? What has Nintendo got against the human body? We've all got butts. Deal with it. No wonder Miiverse isn't coming to the Switch.

[Wah]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
The first time i haven't done well in a safe words! (since the beginning)

[Order.RSS]

Wow Steefosaurus, way to be a fucking dick and choose my second favorite game on the Wii U.

Yikes soz As a professional miiverse butt-portraitist I see the error of my ways. As such I've now selected one that surely isn't anyone's second favourite Wii U game, to atone for committed sins.

[Khushrenada]

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
The first time i haven't done well in a safe words! (since the beginning)

It's true. You've been a Safe Words powerhouse for quite awhile. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. I know have the next bomb word selection in my possession so it is time to begin Round 3.

First up: TofuFury! He has this incredible cornucopia of choices to select from:

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
Bayonetta 2
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
StarFox Zero
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[TofuFury]

Well, I'm glad that I didn't have my original pick finish me off. I choose Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

[Khushrenada]

That's a good choice because it is safe. I'm not going to post these first couple lines in the vein of the DK rap because I'd hate to confuse Stratos again.

This brings us back to the start. Soren must now make a selection! The remaining choices are:

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
Bayonetta 2
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
StarFox Zero
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[Soren]

Continuing to know what the kids love these days, I say they also clamor for more games like Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

[Khushrenada]

Soren is indeed hip to the word on the street these days and is safe!

This brings us to nickmitch. His remaining choices are:

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
Bayonetta 2
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
StarFox Zero
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[nickmitch]

Bayonetta 2

[Khushrenada]

Bayonetta 2 is too sexy for this game, too sexy for nickmitch, so sexy it hurts...










And just like that, round 3 is over and Nickmitch is no more. But to his credit, he finally got some explosions to take him out of the game. Been a long time since that happened.

This means Soren is choosing the next bomb word.

[Khushrenada]

And just like that, Round 4 is ready to begin. It appears Soren can't wait to blow up somebody in this game. Who's it going to be.

We start Round 4 with Fatty_The_Hutt. After the NWR switch event, I forgot to put the underscores with Fatty's name back and there are just blanks between the words. Did you want those underscores back or are you fine with these new spaces? Also, which of these games will you choose as your selection?


Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Splatoon
StarFox Zero
Super Smash Bros. Wii U
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Yoshi's Woolly World

[Order.RSS]

Sorry Nickmitch, just getting my Bomberman practice in early.

[Fatty The Hutt]

Sorry I'm late, long weekend etc.
I'm a choose Aminal Crossings: Kuribo's Shoe Festivale

[Fatty The Hutt]

We start Round 4 with Fatty_The_Hutt. After the NWR switch event, I forgot to put the underscores with Fatty's name back and there are just blanks between the words. Did you want those underscores back or are you fine with these new spaces?

How'd you do that? I still have to use underscores to log in (I think).
I don't really care if they show up in my title or not.

[Mop it up]

Accounts here have both a user name and a display name. As you might guess from the name, a display name is what people see, but not the actual name of your account. I had my display name changed long ago to remove my underscores, but I still have to use them to sign in since that's my original user name. Mods and admins can change a user's display name, which is how Khushrenada was able to swap people's names a bit ago to play pranks, but still allowed them to sign in using their user names. I don't think it's possible to change the actual user name, though I could be wrong.

I'm pretty sure the software would allow both display names and custom titles to be user-changeable, but those options have been disabled to allow only mods and above. I can understand why they wouldn't want users changing display names on a whim, but users not being able to change their own titles has always struck me as an odd decision.
