You Ever Notice...and What's the Deal...

Has anyone ever noticed how in Mario Kart, the bigger, bulkier characters (such as Bowser and Wario) are always the fastest ones, and the smaller guys (such as Toad) are usually the slower ones? You'd think it would be the other way around.

Yes! I think their AI is just programmed that way.

Actually it has nothing to do with AI, every character has hidden stats that the game doesnt really talk about.

The bigger guys are faster, but the tradeoff is horrible acceleration

Has anyone ever watched the first Japanese opening to Pokemon (or in this case, Pocket Monsters)?

It's amazing how I never would have guessed that a clip from the first U.S. intro was Pikachu looking up a girl's skirt (she even screams in response!).

Oh, Japan....

Why is it it's always the most annoying pop songs that always end up being so popular and keep coming back in cycles? I keep getting the itching feeling that either one of Meghan Trainor's old shames ("All About That Bass" or "Lips Are Movin'") will make a comeback soon.

I called it.

I've heard "All About That Bass" more times than I care to this week.

And seriously, "Havanananana" has become a very overrated song.

Hey, we've seen how Pikachu likes da ladies, the lil' man-hoe.

Oh, and ketchup... I think he's attracted to ketchup

Ever notice that a number of Tom Kenny's characters start out having deeper or more wooden voices before he begins to grow into them? Heffer had a deeper, and more wooden voice; Dog was not only deeper, but more nasally, almost sounding like Mickey Mouse with a cold; Carl sounded like a variation of Dog; I don't think even SpongeBob was quite as hyper and neurotic in the beginning as he eventually became.

 

[LittleJerry92]

Oh my god. I hated how Spongebob's voice has gotten higher.

Oh my god. I hated how Spongebob's voice has gotten higher.

And it didn't help that his overall character got more annoying at the same time as his voice change.
