Yo's reaction to Doki Doki is fantastic

I think when you guys were talking about rules and protocols and changes, the one thing you significantly overlooked is that the Thanksgiving break has the potential to disrupt rallies.

I fully expect there to be rally that starts before the break, makes it to the top 16, and then fizzles on the return. This is, of course, contingent on the board not foaming at the mouth for that whole week and giving outsiders something to cackle gleefully over...so then again, this is obviously an absurd expectation, since we know that will never happen.

okay but Captain Toad needs to be in Smash

I think that's what Allen is hoping for, but I don't know that it'll make a difference unless you somehow manage to fool them all into thinking the contest is over.

Draven had to wait 39 days between his round 1 and round 2 match, but you better believe they were ready for round 2. Man, that match was absurd.

even at free, a VN sounds like a colossal waste of my time

Is this a spin off of Doki Doki Panic? Is Monika a Mario character?

I mean DDLC is a very short game

so even if it's a waste it certainly won't be a colossal one

Oh hey that's me!

Fantastic to have The Show back.

Very strong episode. Very sad I was asleep and missed the call, but Zen was on point.

Zen and I should be on together so we could have a conversation about working at Amazon that literally nobody (even us) would find interesting
---

What kind of search engine are you using, zen?

One thing I disagree with you on is that Geralt's eligibility crosses a line.

Spiderman existed before videogames -- in America. Everyone knows who Spiderman is. Spiderman was a known entity to the world before video games really existed.

By contrast, how many people have actually read the books The Witcher is based on? You can say they've sold millions of copies, sure, but they're all in Polish. How popular is it anywhere else? Yes, I can name someone I met once you happened to have read them, but I also worked in a freaking library for 7 years.

Now, in a very pure and literal sense, yes, it does take the line that was there before, and it crosses it. So yes, you are correct. However, to say that Geralt and Spiderman are on the same level in terms of non-VG popularity, no, absolutely not. It's definitely not the same thing. Unless you're Polish.

Honestly, I think that line was crossed during RR when BJ/Adolf was in the contest. Hitler might not be a fictional character, but he's certainly a person of non-video game origins. I don't know what criteria Allen was using then that he allowed that, but I'm more okay with the idea of Geralt appearing than the boss of Wolfenstein episode 3. At least Geralt has presence in the video game. Hitler's in Wolfenstein for about 10 seconds until you kill him and move on to the second half of the game.

Well, there's your problem. Might as well be looking on pornhub.

I'll be listening to this at some point.

Geralt is a book character. He breaks the rules. There is no looking past him being a book character. You are "kind of" a video game character or "kind of" a book character. You are one or the other unless it was some big multi-media release thing like Strider.

Geralt IS a book character. The games are based on the book. It doesn't matter where the book is from. You can't check both of those boxes. It's very black-and-white. Unless you are Strider.

Which match picture had the hentai in it?

So, out of curiosity, if David Gaider wrote the source material for Dragon Age, and then Bioware built the game around them, at what point do the Dragon Age characters become "book characters?" I don't think he actually published any novels prior to the first game's release, but I believe they existed.
