It however appears to be casual focused because most longtime Nintendo fans already have it for the Cube and a fair chunk of us don't want to buy it again. I guess it's a "newcomber" focused game. It's for people that didn't buy it on the Cube and haven't gotten sick of the concept yet.

Honestly, since the day I started reading the forums it's bothered me. Every single time it sticks out like a sore thumb, and yet no one corrects him. I've spent sleepless nights worrying about it. Images of a child brushing his hair for the first time!

Someone please enlighten me!

It's a viral marketing technique

The same reason UncleBob spells it "Imangine"?

EasyCure · « **Reply #4 on:** September 15, 2008, 09:22:17 AM »

nickmitch · « **Reply #5 on:** September 15, 2008, 09:54:13 AM »

Not to mention "emo."

EasyCure · « **Reply #6 on:** September 15, 2008, 09:56:55 AM »

It bugs me, too, but if I pointed out every spelling mistake I saw on the Internet, I'd wear out my keyboard in less than an hour.

Because no one actually reads through Ian's posts all the way anymore?

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #9 on:** September 15, 2008, 11:02:14 AM »

Who am I kidding, I almost never read people's posts all the way.

EasyCure · « **Reply #10 on:** September 15, 2008, 11:23:55 AM »

and thats whats wrong with you DAaaamit64! you know i have the right mind to _{this is where you stop reading} you know, i actually have nothing against this you. In fact i'd go as far as calling you an internet "friend". Sure we don't talk much but hey, i'll call you whatever you want to get some sweet Okami art. Hmm this small wall of text looks big enough now to get back on topic. Lets see if you really read the whole post or not.._{and back on track} and the horse you rode in on!

nickmitch · « **Reply #11 on:** September 15, 2008, 12:30:18 PM »

We'll never know--Ian doesn't visit the Funhouse.

nickmitch · « **Reply #14 on:** September 15, 2008, 03:42:05 PM »

He did that one time, didn't he? He was on vacation, there was a thread about him, he came back, I think he was angry/surprised, or something.

EasyCure · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2008, 04:09:30 PM »

LOL when isnt he angry?

Considering all the flak he takes, I'm impressed that he keeps it together most of the time.

EasyCure · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2008, 12:09:39 PM »

hm i never thought of it that way. I figured he was always slightly off his rocker though, because of his handle.

i mean, to constantly contradict yourself day after day, year after year, you have to be pretty crazy right? its part of his "charm"

Considering all the trolling he does, it doesn't surprise me at all...It's like being shocked to take a punch to the gut after calling someone's mom a whore...

EasyCure · « **Reply #19 on:** September 16, 2008, 12:17:28 PM »

i'd be shocked to get punched in the got if i called someones mom a whore if they really WERE a whore... like, if i had the documents to prove it.

wouldnt you be? i mean you're getting punched for stating FACTS!

consider this scenario:

you're hanging out with your best friend. you pass by a police precinct where his mother is released on bail, and you ask her why she was taken in and she says prostitution. The next day she's on the front cover of the local news paper for being busted for prostitution again.

next time you see that friend you happen to say his mothers a whore, cuz its true.

if i was the friend with the whorish mother, i wouldnt be mad.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #22 on:** September 16, 2008, 12:55:19 PM »

The word "whore" must have a completely different and benign meaning to you then, because to me "whore" is an offensive term to call someone, true or not... =(

(It's sort of like the distinction between homosexual and f*ggot...)

Stogi · « **Reply #23 on:** September 16, 2008, 01:07:24 PM »

consider this scenario:

Your searching for information on STD's on the internet, and a video link to your friend's mom pops up. You click it and the video starts with her getting railed by 8 german dudes all yelling hilarious german **** like "Oop me asshole!"

I don't think your friend would mind you calling his mom a whore.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #24 on:** September 16, 2008, 01:12:57 PM »

I'll only bite if you say that scenario is from personal experience...
