I woke up this morning, checked out my usual source for gaming news, looked at the announcements from E3, and nearly collapsed when I read about this. Granted, it isn't the fifth installment that LucasArts has ignored to the point of it being as likely a release as Duke Nukem Forever, but hell, it's a start.

Alternative Character Battle - Battle 10 (Second Round): Ganon vs Psycho Mantis

I had an eye test today, which was something I really needed considering not only my last one was 6 years ago, but the glasses I had fell apart. The only concern is having to see a doctor about how my right eye is.

It's the weakest icon in the 30's IMO. Toohot100 will be level 36 very soon and while I may not like level 36 that much, I'll get the alt through it and higher up the levels. :)

What?! Youve got one extra shuriken and a total of 8 additional points to the throwing stars. And what do points make? Dead people.

I think the variation is nice, compared to the back-to back throwing stars of levels 33 and 34. That's about the only redeeming point.

Very true. Oh, and speaking of throwing stars, why do kick ass Newgrounders get stuck at level 34 for pretty much forever or take AGES to get the sais? These people need to be depositing more and then they can stop at level 35 if they want.

I've been checking the thread, although I haven't read every single post. I don't have much to say about the matter as I hardly have any problems with the mods. It would be nice if they were more lenient towards fun threads but also stricter towards blatant trolls/troublemakers (e.g. Zen444 - BTW, if you're curious about this dipshit, let me give you an NSFW warning on his userpage). I really don't see why constant troublemakers should have the right to be still here after a year or two of fucking around.

I never got stuck there for pretty much ages. I've spent longer on each consecutive level since the redesign, but that's only because the gaps get bigger. Less than a week until I can start chains in the Mod threads again with Joe and Evark, when we all have the sword.

It does mean that I'll have to put a stop to Hammertime for a while though :(
