Holy shit this looks awesome. It's a new anime from Shinichiro Watanabe titled "Samurai Champloo" and it looks insanely cool. Check out the official site here and the kick-ass trailer here.
From what I can gather in that last pic, Nintendorks is in fact making a play on those two names. It's as though they are trying to give one the image of Toad of Mario series fighting with Frog from Chrono Trigger. That's even funnier, considering I never read that book...
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
I think he's talking about that Frog and Toad picture that someone had in their signature. (Forgot who it was.) I remember the Frog and Toad books from elementary school... I was in about first or second grade when I had heard of it for the first time. I don't think I ever actually read one though.
I have no idea why DJ brought it up in this particular thread.
As for the Frog and Toad picture, I'm on the school computer and game websites are blocked here. Therefore, images from said websites are just red X's.
Um, ABF, it's called humor. Look at OB1's post. What's the VERY last pic in it? Yep, his sig! That's why it's funny! Yeesh...

But his sig is in every thread... talking about that in a thread about something else is odd... but more than that, you just didn't make any sense... I can't figure out what you meant... Mario and Chrono Trigger? Huh?
Great Rumbler Wrote:Too bad it isn't directed by Shinichi Watanabe [director of Excel Saga], but still anything done by Shinichiro Watanabe I'll definitely check out.
Boy those guys with the name Shinichi Watanabe in their name sure are awesome, eh?
Most of those Nintendorks banners have something to do with Nintendo [except for that one with the guy from Nintendorks] and I'd say that even though yes Frog and Toad are from a children's book they are also characters from Super Mario and Chrono Trigger, thus an inside joke is born...you know?
... GR and OB1 do you honestly think DJ's joke is funny? Or whatever... I don't get why it's supposed to be so funny it just looks to me like DJ doesn't know what Frog and Toad is so she came up with something else that doesn't make sense...
See, DJ, Frog and Toad are children's books, and Frog and Toad are friends... that banner is funny, if you know the books and Nintendorks. Of course most of those are a lot funnier if you know Nintendorks much...
Um........... I'm lost now. What are we debating? Whether or not that banner had anything to do with Toad from Mario and Frog from Chrono Trigger... or whether or not it was funny... or how much funnier it would've been to someone who knew a thing or two about Nintendorks... or what?
