Tingle's Super Gay Land > WarioWare Twisted!
The latter was the most rubbish of the otherwise good WarioWare series. They didn't miss out on much. We missed out on tons, though I imported to make up for that injustice.

Uhhh.... Touched is the worst of the WarioWares (well, I haven't played Smooth Moves). Twisted is great. Very great. Awesomesauce, in fact.
I still wanna play Tingly Wingly's Homosexual Wonder World though.

This is EXACTLY what I was just about to post Twisted is awesome, Megamicrogames was radical, and touched was just a game to play when your'e board, and a game to move the basic plotline of Wario's videogame making life along.

I have, many times, but the problem is the jobs I want to do need to be local, and the departments I want to work with I believe are located in the Redmond HQ. I'm on the opposite side of the land of liberty. Unless localization teams are in the New York HQ, then I might reconsider sometime. And Fry, if America sucks how come we get all the good games first? Just a question, when you mentioned localization, does it mean editing their games for a specific region?, and does it include programming? I know for Animal Crossing on the GCN, Treehouse (Nintendo's localisation team) had to modify and add new stuff because it was too "Japanese" for America and had to add in western* furniture themes and stuff like that. I remember hearing about how there was great confusion over the character Sahara (the camel, who trades rare carpets) because they could not tell what gender it** was because of it's** long female like eyelashes. *Western themes as in not Japanese, not to be confused with western/wild west/cowboy furniture theme in the actual game (that could have actually been added just to the non-JP versions). **Only reason I said "it" is because I can't remember Sahara's gender right now.

Teev... do you really want me to start listing reasons why America's rubbish? We could be here for a long time, and it's pretty soul destroying, as you know I tend to base this stuff on facts.
And the best part is, you can't do it back - because British people know Britain is rubbish. It's part of our self-deprecating charm! Har har har!

You mean to tell me you think we didn't already know that America's in a state of less-than-favorable?
Look, the only country allowed to make fun of a country/point out it's flaws is that country itself. Why America is only place allowed to be mocked anymore I'll never understand.

Because I'm horribly racist. But only to Americans.

Just singling out America over, say Mexico, Singapore, or even lil' ol' Pakistan just seems a little unfair

US is the only country you can do it in? Forget it. In Sweden you could do sigh heils in front of the prime minister and it's not illegal. and as far as I know people always complains about the government without getting caught.

The whole wizzleing world is "rubbish" as you put. Just singling out America over, say Mexico, Singapore, or even lil' ol' Pakistan just seems a little unfair Oh indeed, and I wouldn't want to work for Nintendo in any of those places either. No need to get a bug up the ass about it though. America is different to those other countries because it has established itself as the world leader in politics, economics and military might - and then it hired a monkey to run it and the rest of the world is suffering for the years of corruption and bad decision-making. I have other cultural issues that wouldn't get on my nuts so much if America wasn't so influential. So there you go.

Hmm...I forgot what we were talking about for awhile there... Doesn't matter now. The whole worlds going to Hell soon anyways. By the way... why are we discussing politics now?

It's not that it's illegal, it's that My Fellow Americans are being thin-skinned about the concept that other nations think ill of us. Well, wonk wonk wonk, I say! People hate other people, it's our nature. America is rubbish (I'm reminded of this every time I plonk $40 into my gas tank and don't even fill it half way, knowing all that cash I'm losing is lining some greasy suit's pockets) and we're not alone.
"Nations shouldn't make fun of other nations" is such a childish concept. Why do you think Afghanastan took down the World Trade Center? 'Cause they hate us and they think we're rubbish, that's why. In their eyes we're a nation of sinners and infidels and et cetera.
I hate to tell you guys, but people are gonna form opinions about other nations and cultures, and we're no exception.

why are we discussing politics now? Because the original point of the topic was boring... Why let a topic die, when we can explore all of the random and loosely connected tangents. And why explore them alone. I want to share this with YOU Teev!

My views have now been officially altered. Fuck America! Fuck patriotism! Fuck Britain! And finally, fuck Canada!
