I wanna be

I wanna be a champ

sigh It's been one of those days. Letting the voices in my mind convince me that life isn't worth the pain. That everything I've done or will do won't ever make any significant difference. That we all live to die. But despite these thoughts, I still carry on, knowing that as long as my heart beats, then there's another day I can **** on Fire Emblem.

Both Sony and Microsoft are working on making handheld versions of their consoles to compete with the Switch.

Both years away though.

I might buy a portable ps5 as long as it’s cheaper

I'm now more certain remasters of Prime 2 & 3 are inevitably soon.

[SnakeFighter64]

wtf why is yo gabba gabba going to Coachella

because memes and nostalgia

 

[TheCJBrine]

wtf why is yo gabba gabba going to Coachella

they were at Coachella in April, they met Miku.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Unfortunately I get it.

"Unfortunately" Hey now, no slandering the TD season that gave us the best character ever

 

[Noipoi]

World Tour is the best season anyway

Psychedelic drugs and colorful nostalgia is a deadly combination

they were at Coachella in April, they met Miku.

There was another Coachella this year? I can’t keep up wit this no more

 

[Pink Yoshi]

World Tour is the best season anyway

Eh. Action is the best season of the main series and I stand by that. It just feels like everything Total Drama is supposed to be - fair balance of drama and wholesomeness, great challenges, funny jokes, and a fresh (ha) and unique setting.

That said, Ridonculous Race is the best Total Drama entry overall and it's not even close

Leave 6teen out of this!!1!

I haven't made it clear in a while since Disventure Camp ate me alive, but I still love that show

Dude Action is easily the weakest of the first three seasons

Don’t even get me started

Hey, I've already started. What could go wrong if you start too?

Also your profile picture compliments your response a little too well.

I think for a lot of people it depends on how they feel about Courtney and the Duncney ship as a whole. I for one find Courtney extremely entertaining and I think Duncney is one of the best ships of its kind (at least before World Tour ruined it lol), so as a result Action is an incredibly fun ride for me. However, Courtney has a sizable hatedom who find her utterly obnoxious, so understandably a season where she's a huge presence is gonna be a hard sell for those people.

Courtneying aside, I do see Action's flaws. Beth is a pretty meh protagonist, Lindsay's elimination was a load of hogwash and Trent got positively crapped on in episode 5. But I think if you look past those flaws and you can stomach Courtney's antics, you'll find yourself enjoying it a LOT.

Besides ain't no way Total Drama could go any lower than All-Stars

 

[CannonStreak]

Check this out, everyone!

 

[Wario Bros.]

Check this out, everyone!

I guess Land 3 will drop in a week, give or take a few days, if this news tells us anything.

 

[SneakyLink]

Check this out, everyone!

I wonder why these two weren’t together with Donkey Kong Land 3.

And Brain Age is now on Nintendo Music.

 

[Will]

Beth is a pretty meh protagonist

She was a protagonist? I thought she was just a winner.

Then again, I haven’t seen Action since it was airing, so I probably don’t remember 99% of the show.

No you’re right, All Stars is definitely at the bottom.

IMO the first season started us off on a good note, the second season was still fun but it got a little wonky in it’s attempt to innovate, while World Tour is the series really coming into its own. The characters, the challenges, the relationship drama, it feels like the culmination of everything they’d learned up to that point.

That's what I assume was going through FreshTV's heads when they decided to make Beth a focus in Action. Duncan was more of an anti-hero.

You're definitely right in that World Tour shows a lot of what Fresh had learned over past seasons.

My problem with it, beyond my personal issues with the infamous love triangle, is mostly the whole thing with Cody and Sierra and Gwen, that whole thing made me cringe several hundred times over. Also the last few minutes of the finale was a whole dumpster fire...

Ridonculous Race has the same world-trotting focus as WT, but without the intense love triangle drama, weird stalkery stuff, and it actually has a good ending. That's why I think it's the best Total Drama installment overall

 

[TheMightyP]

Old Nickelodeon crossovers really were just the the most random **** ever, cause yes it does make sense that Patchy The Pirate shows up in Big Time Rush out of nowhere

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Total Drama installments (discounting Dramarama), ranked:

#1. Ridonculous Race
#2. Action
#3. Reboot Season 1
#4. World Tour
#5. Island
#6. Pahkitew Island (I've always had a soft spot for it idk)
#7. Reboot Season 2
#8. Revenge of the Island
#9. All-Stars

those other games could never

Thinking, Pokemon existing in the Sonic Movie verse means Nintendo exists in that universe. And you'd be thinking that implies Sega exists, but wait bear with me.

So Nintendo existing with that time period implies Smash Bros exists in some capacity. And given that the kids talk about Detective Pikachu, that means that the 3DS exists, and conversly the library. Including Smash Bros, which Sonic was in.

So will Sonic become aware that he's a video game character? And then his reality shatters like crystal?

Also worth noting that a Switch console was seen being played by someone in the Knuckles series.

This reminds me of how I think it’s kind of weird that they specifically said detective Pikachu and not just Pikachu. If tails was wearing a hat then I’d buy it. But the line as is just makes it seem like it was written by a dad who’s only exposure was that movie.

It's probably just because of the more realistic fur tbh

In this universe the entire Sonic franchise is replaced with iconic 90’s mascot “Flex the Weasel”

Flex the Weasel
Wings the Coyote
Knees the Porcupine
And of course, Professor Yolk Girl

And introducing Flex's new rival

Me when I see a man in a white suit with a red shirt in the background as Sonic and Shadow race around Tokyo and pass by Kabukicho's arch

Ok but it would be hilarious if sally and the freedom fighters replaced the Sonic games

Sonic just has a line where he goes

“Pikachu? That’s right, I licensed myself out to that game he was in. A shame he got blasted by that beam of light, he was a great guy”

If you had to add three other Kanto Pokémon to smash’s Pokemon trainer to give it a full team of 6, who are you adding?

 

[Shroob]

Gengar, Snorlax, and probably Arcanine or Exxegutor, maybe Alakazam.
