WTF WED! BANJO KAZOOIE, BLASTOISE, AND VEGA ALL GET IN A STREET FIGHT...
I love Banjo Kazooie.
After Super Mario 64, it might just be my favorite N64 game. It is, technically speaking, superior to SM64 and creates a world of fun puzzles and platforming filled with so much character. Heck, if it weren't for the pure "like OMG I can beat SM64 a million times and love triple-jumping" nostalgia that SM64 gives me, this would be my go to game on the system.
Then Microsoft bought Rare and poorly used all of their properties...
For this, I am a sad Bojo.

GUEST GRUMPS: GRANT KIRKHOPE
I'm not gonna lie; I am not a street fighter fan. I am not even a fighting game fan. The only fighting games I ever really enjoy are Smash Bros. and anime fighters with gameplay like in the DBZ Budokai and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series.
BUT, I appreciate whacky characters and I do own a copy of Super Street Fighter 4, just in case a guest wishes to play them some cell-shaded combos out with their favorite character.
In Mortal Kombat, it seems there aren't really any rules except that you can't help out another "kombatant". But in Street Fighter, the competitors are supposed to be in martial arts tournaments with fair stakes. Despite this, there are character who wield weapons, magic, and other unorthodox and seemingly should-be illegal tactics....
Like Vega. And his "claoww".
Let's end with a question:
If I were to do a Let's Play of a Pokémon ROM with commentary, possibly with a Nuzlocke Challenge, which game should I play first? Pokémon Yellow and Emerald are my two frontrunners, at the moment.

WTF WED! POKÉMON Z SUMMONS A POLICE OFFICER AND A BEAR!
Let's start with the "what?"
I found Vega Voverth via his Game Grumps animations. And found this odd little gem on his channel.
I've seen lots of great Dragon Ball Z parodies and lots of great Pokémon parodies. I've even seen mash-ups of these franchises. Yet, this is one is kinda special. What sets this one apart? The style that is intentionally off-putting definitely sets it apart plus combining it with the dialogue of the original scene from DBZ, well except for the Pokémon names and Pikachu's dialogue, and you've got something pretty special.
Well, some kind of "special".
And here is "the f***?!"
I don't want to spoil this one, so I won't elaborate.
Just check it out and it will all make sense. You're welcome. I think.
<3 Plagueofgripes!
Let's round off the weird with a bit of wonderful.
I love the internet. I especially love how the creative peoples of the internet can take something amusing and turn it into something magical. In the case of the fated meeting between Officer Suzanne Bourque and bear cub, the meme Miss Officer & Mr. Truffles spread across tumblr until it eventually hit the page of lemonteaflower, where it culminated in something delightfully cute and funny. Then, that art inspired Flikkof's animation above.
And that is why the internet is magic.

WTF! HERE WE GO! GAME GRUMPS DISCUSS PART-LESBIAN MÉNAGE Á TROIS & "SWORD FIGHTING"! NSFW!
First up, let's go ahead and bite the curb that is Game Grumps animated by revisiting a classic scene from when, after finishing their single one-off episode of Rugrats in Paris: The Movie on N64, Egoraptor was driven to suicide.
Vega Voverth has quickly become one of the most prolific animators in the shrinking circuit of Game Grumps animations. I say shrinking circuit because, since Jon left, it seems the animators have lost a lot of their enthusiasm to indulge in animating the antics of Game Grumps. It would seem that, without his animated voice and the conflict between Arin and he, there is little worth illustrating or revisiting.
This assumption, based on the next video, is clearly... WRONG!
I've covered iscoppie one other time when I highlighted this animated scene from the classic episode of Nickelodeon GUTS.This style is perfect for the light-hearted trips down Dan's memory lane.
This surreal and vivid hallucination, a walking hot flash animation of a walking wet dream dripping in sharp biting colors carved away with soft lines to create detailed scenes, will leave you smiling, sweating, and crying.
Showers are recommended.
And, if you thought that last story was a slightly inappropriate and very personal look at Dan's romantic life... let's end with Egoraptor talking about how he used to be part of a club of guys who showed off their wieners. His wife confirms the sum of all of our fears when she admits her beloved too part in many bratwurst parties. And I'm not talking about sausages.
P.S. It can't be unheard and it can't be unseen.
