Krampus is the Santa Claus we deserve.

btw people dressing up as krampus only really happens in rural areas


(aka 95% of austria)

[s0]

also did u know that here in austria baby jesus brings the presents on christmas eve?

this is actually an early protestant tradition (because the worship of saints is considered idolatry or sth in protestantism, so obv santa aka st nicholas is out of the question), which is really strange because austria is a catholic country. welp actually it isnt because a lot of austria was protestant during the 16th and early 17th century. unfortunately, the ruling dynasty (the hapsburgs) were catholic, so the "counter-reformation" ended up forcefully re-converting austria to catholicism.

I'm not sure how to describe this, but it's worth the watch.

A link between worlds is a good Zelda (it's not spirit tracks LOL)
Smash bros if you don't have a Wuu
Bravely Default if you like jrpgs
Pokemons are the best iterations for years
Picross series are great little puzzles
(Everyone raves about Steamworld Dig but I didn't like it at all :s)
I'm sure there are more that I'm missing?

I'm sure there are more that I'm missing?

Shin Megami Tensei 4
Super Mario 3D Land
Kid Icarus
Animal Crossing
Both the Ocarina of Time and Starfox remakes are good

Kid Icarus Uprising

I seriously can't get my hands on a copy of this game, even bare cartridge, for less than $60.  It's just absurd.

[s0]

i didn't realize it was that rare.

glad i bought it when it was new then, because it's really really excellent. basically sin & punishment 3. or alternately, basically the first good starfox game in 100 years.

The worst thing is that I have a PAL version cart that I can't even play.  Goddamn region lock.  All of my hate.  Sending hate rays over the internet in Nintendo's general direction RIGHT NAO. >:O

Wow, yeah, the prices on Amazon are crazy.

Gamestop has it for under forty bucks used. You should check there. I just checked online and a few stores within half an hour of me have used copies, so you might be able to get one at your local store.

It's a game deserving of being pricy, at least. Fun multiplayer and the plot would feel right at home in a Saturday morning cartoon series.

Oh oh! sell that to me please, I am PAL region (australia)
I have an NTSC cart of the original smash bros 64 if anyone wants that

I really like the look of Bravely Default, I think I will get that and Smash Bros to start

I just wrote the stupidest and yet most clever FizzBuzz of my entire programming career.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int i = 0;
    while(i++ < 100) {
        printf("%d\r", i);
        printf((i%3 == 0) ? "Fizz" : "");
        printf((i%5 == 0) ? "Buzz" : "");
        printf("\n");
    }
    return 0;
}

Ah, a prime example of the old: "The professor might give me a higher mark if I do this"

Also, I just hit Level 1!
Am I cool now guys...?

Guys?

What's this, people talking about 3DS games?

I'll recommend a few that haven't been mentioned:
- Luigi's Mansion 2
- Fantasy Life
- Pilotwings Resort

Also I'm serious about Pilotwings; the game is underrated and often overlooked. Get the game pre-owned from EB for like $15 and enjoy a well made flight sim on 3DS.

[SirNiko]

I'll second Luigi's Mansion. The multiplayer mode is fantastic: You can either play it as a solo endless mode, or have fun playing as a group without a lot of heartache over lousy players. The gimmick of collecting all the themed boss ghosts was a brilliant reward system. The single player mode also does a good job of adding replay value with hidden collectables and per-level grades.

Kid Icarus is the best game on the console, though. Do what you can to score a copy.
