In Which Topical Humour Bites Me in the Ass

In Which Topical Humour Bites Me in the Ass

I was slightly annoyed to discover that, as of yesterday, a topical joke in one of my reviews is now out of date. It was a line in the Digimon review, specifically this one.

"Unfortunately, by the time they get there, Keromon has filled up on cat pictures, porn and people complaining that Ridley and Mewtwo aren’t in Smash Bros 4, enabling it to evolve into its ultimate form, Infermon (a cross between a spider, a peanut and a tank.)"

At the time I wrote the Digimon review, this was pretty funny, or at least I hope so anyway. Yesterday however, this happened.

Mewtwo was announced as the first DLC character for Super Smash Bros 4, to be released next year. It's good to see him back, having missed out on Brawl, but I am a little sad that my joke died for Mewtwo, though it is ironic that it was the Digimon review that Mewtwo gave the finger to. The Pokemon Vs Digimon rivalry lives on! At least Ridley remains unplayable, so the joke still kinda works...
