Here you go, my little Port Saiid pitbulls. Chew 'em up and spit'em out:

There was a little more that I had in there that I excised in the interest of being more concise, but some of it was specifically about the "smug" insult. This is the second time within recent months that I've seen it used. Oh, no! The internet hivemind has learned a new word!

My inclination is that he doesn't even know what "smug" means, but even if he does, then this is yet another example of an internet person who acts exactly like my parents.

With my parents, you couldn't just say something, no matter how true it is. You had to keep yourself in this constant state of uncertainty and submissiveness, so that they could always have the last word.

For example, you couldn't just say, "Hey, Mom! Dad! Guess what? The sky is blue!"

Instead, you'd have to make it more like, "Mommy? Daddy? I have a question. I think the sky is blue, but I'm not real sure. Can you please look at the sky and tell me if you think it's blue? If it's not, I don't want you to think I'm dumb for thinking it was blue, because it's just my opinion that it looks blue, so don't get angry with me. Okay?"

I'll bet Boogs is your typical airheaded teenager who thinks he's so rebellious against his parents, and I sit here laughing because his personality betrays him.

If he ever has kids, they'll hate him. Hatred is delicious.

You delivered an eloquent fatality to "Wendell" even before the head explosion part. I'd go so far as to say that was your best one yet.

Ever since MaskedSheik said I delivered a fatality to peterenton of StumbleUpon, I considered using a screencapture of the bloody "FATALITY" from one of the Mortal Kombat games, but I figured the head explosion in this instance was enough. Speaking of Sheik, has anyone heard from him lately? He's missing out on a lot of fun...

Oh man @ the Face in a Hole stuff. Who the hell is the Batman one? Looks like a Simpsons character.

It's Samantha. The reason it looks like a Simpsons character is because Samantha has a yellowish skin tone (because she's a synthetic human).

That's another case of backpedaling. The whole reason people thought "I am Error" was bad grammar is because they didn't know "Error" was his name. They didn't know if he was trying to say he is an error, in which case the sentence should be, "I am an error", and if that was the case, what does that mean?

But the game itself offers proof that the character is named "Error" because another character refers to him as that, as the article mentions (I believe it was GasMaskMan who sent that part in because I had forgotten about it.)

So, now they're backpedaling and saying, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! We KNEW his name was Error all along! It's just that, it's just that... It's a funny name!!"

*BUZZ!!*

Sorry. I've been around the NES Scene long enough to know otherwise.

(If I find the article where someone talked to a Nintendo Game Counselor about it, I'll post it, but NES Sites come and go so much, it might not exist anymore...)

I'm not saying that the line isn't somewhat-amusing if you think about it too much, and some of the NES Scene jokes about it were okay. But I was really getting sick of seeing threads in my site tracker where people would be discussing bad NES game grammar and someone would inevitably say something like, "You're all forgetting the worst NES grammar of all time - 'I am Error'!" (The reason they'd be in the site tracker before I put up the Error article is because other posts in the topics would link to some of my oddities pages, such as that "Revenge Joe's Brother" thing.) I just did the article as an Oddities rather than an STA since I saw it so much I didn't want to single out any one particular person.
