[A Black Falcon]

Gradius V should do better than that...

But yes, good sales for Paper Mario 2.

[Great Rumbler]

I guess shooters just aren't as popular as they used to be.

[OB1]

I want Paper Mario 2 so bad...

[Great Rumbler]

As do we all.

[OB1]

I'm sure there are a few people here that don't want it.

[A Black Falcon]

Like people who don't like RPGs?

[OB1]

Yeah. Dumb people. :p

[Great Rumbler]

You'd have to be REALLY dumb not to want Paper Mario 2.

[OB1]

Yeah, so who here doesn't want it???

[bountyhunter]

*is reminded of this one deer hunting documentry*

Quick run for the hills imaginary friend! they're aiming for the neck!

*runs and attempts to dive over a small mound of dirt*

[Great Rumbler]

I can't say that I've ever seen a deer hunting documentary before...

[OB1]

Well you don't know what you're missing!

[Great Rumbler]

I guess not...

[bountyhunter]

Wait either it was a documentary or...

... Oh yeah, that arcade game deer hunter, man that thing sucked.

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah it did.
