I have things to recount but I can't do them justice right now. Yet summarizing March isn't difficult: amid minor setbacks like having failing net and struggling with writing, I'm considerably lucky. I could elaborate. But instead, I'll post a set of twenty-five silly photos spanning toys, food, amusing juxtapositions, and Arcade Infinity:



So was Nintendo actually thinking when they incorporated these lines into Warioware DIY Showcase? All bets on no!



This user's bio was amusing but freaky -- it'll take more convincing for me to actually bother with that title!



The distant billboard says "Buy a box, invest in a girl." Best Girl Scouts slogan ever?



These weren't the brothers I was expecting



Astro Boy 2009 is whisked away just like that -- to the discount bin he goes



Sonic dives headfirst into the Pokemon pool in a mad dash for love, but his attempts are futile!



I was surprised to see the Final Fantasy XIII Play-Arts figures at Toys R Us, but I can't say I care much.





Identity crisis =\=\



This basically takes the cake for the most weeaboo Mario shirt I've ever seen. Does this win?



omg moms' heads would explode from all the DS units -- will the DSi XL help matters any?!



Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age Origins Awakenings together, forming a new whole



abandoned grass types on stylii



Whoever thought this up for mints must've thought they were just about the most hilarious ever. And people will undoubtedly buy these mints bc of this ridiculous packaging



Fairyland Melody Magic: mocking girl gamers on the next level



yakitori yay :>



These rainbow animals stood out, but I increasingly realized just how gaudy they seemed. Is this 2010 or the 1990s?





Best uses of packaging in a grocery store ever?



This wristband has apparently been made in 2010 -- pretty funny timing! But I suppose there are always kids who downloaded Super Mario Bros 3 on Virtual Console and are now going yayyyy



The local Borders tries to market to the manga reading fanbase ... a bit too hard?



Today I went to Arcade Infinity for the first time in a year and had a lot of fun -- for the most part the machines haven't changed too much, but it was great seeing two BlazBlue Continuum Shift cabs and Action Deka. The latter is Konami's title involving the use of two "grips" to punch/shoot/etc your way through the opposition. It's a hilarious, cheesy, over the top, and a challenging spin on the light gun genre. But I only did two runs so I can't say I know enough to do much of a write-up -- maybe later!

I tried out the first story stage of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3DX Plus as I didn't feel like transferring data from my Wangan 3 card (not sure if it actually works?) and couldn't find my 3DX card. During a lull I actually anticipated this dialogue and snapped it for lawls. Some things never change



Theme of Ephemos Forest ...



... where guys like this live



My comrade in arms won this flattened Meowth while I did my mad run of Pop'n Music 17/GuitarFreaks+Drummania V6/Technika/etc. Did the makers even try?

On a random Pokemon-related note, I was lucky and got four Flying Pikachus and two Surfing Pikachus this past week. Beating the odds is certainly something. The Flying ones are funny as the first two are Relaxed (+def -speed) and Brave (+attack -speed) which are OK ... but the last two's Lax (+def -sp. def) and Gentle (+sp def -def) natures are useless! The two Surfing ones I got later are Docile (neutral) and Gentle -- what the flip is with those Gentle natures!!
