    Oh god.

    Tomodachi Life is more like a petri dish, then, where you can either keep your subjects happy or prod them as they wallow in misery. There's something to be said for a little virtual cruelty - I haven't fed Deborah Kerr for a week, and she now spends her days shivering miserably in her shack-like house - as well as for overseeing unlikely pairings. Fernando Alonso bowled into town as something of a Lothario with those thick-browed eyes squared on my girlfriend, so I diverted him over to neighbour Princess Zelda - and the pair have just had their first, slightly grotesque looking child.

    Princess Zelda would never date a cad like Alonso.

    I would say Mario RPG is better than Partners in Time and Super Paper Mario. Maybe Bowsers Inside Story.

    But yeah, I would take either of the other two Paper Marios or Super Star Saga over it anyday.

    I really need to get around to playing Dream Team.

    i'd put superstar saga, paper mario 2, and mario rpg all on about the same level

    paper mario 1 a little below that

    and then i don't care about the other junk

    Is it just me, or does it seem like Chincy is learning something new about FE:A on every page that everyone already knew?

    Pretty much!

    I also don't think "but its always been like that" is really a defense of the game not explaining something, but yeah I missed the recruitment tutorial

    Now that I know how saves work I'll give it one more shot

    Yeah, I don't think that either, but this was my first Fire Emblem game too!

    I actually really don't like the way you have to do stuff like that in combat. Open chests, talk to people, etc.

    Didn't the older games even have you buy equipment in combat?

    I'd rather the outside combat stuff work like a more traditional RPG, Shining Force style

    You don't have to do that. You get a zillion characters in FEA, so if you miss a character or two, it really isn't the end of the world.

    Pop icon and knock-out home renovator Vanilla Ice ditches his high tech power tools and moves to Amish country to learn the lost art of hand craftsmanship. Go inside the largest Amish settlement in the U.S. as a group of young men and women help him tackle construction projects ranging from kitchen additions to traditional barn raisings — all without nails and screws. He’ll earn his keep working on the farm as he learns to embrace the simpler life and become fully immersed in the unique culture that has been isolated from the rest of the world.

    Okay but they're clearly fucking with Vanilla Ice here.

    Even the Amish use nails and screws.

    well it depends on what you're talking about, some do and some don't, and most wouldn't for stuff like furniture, since that's not how you make what would be considered quality craftsmanship.

    If you want to get a good look at both Amish life and rumspringa (when teenagers go to do their own thing), watch Devil's Playground. I think it's on Netflix, and it's very interesting
