Here's a question not being asked: when did Nintendo allow for its IP to be used outside of their platform(s)? Is this just an extension of the animated show or is it an extension of the game? From the way this works, it looks like thi

Reason would dictate that if the plane had truly landed somewhere, it would have been found by now. Wild theories of said plane flying under some other similar plane to avoid radar detection would have been figured out already and would hav

I personally don't believe it is censorship either. The biggest problem Reddit has is how the moderator structure works. I can go and create a new sub-Reddit, automatically becoming the main moderator as a result. You can then assign m
