Uh… It’s alright? I mean it’s great! I love it! It’s so… modern! Can’t wait to take it home and try it out!
… Please stop crying.
Game-wise is a little difficult as you kinda have most of the games I’d recommend. At least as far as Steam goes. So if you can [ahem] find some way to acquire them…
Ogre Battle: MotBQ and Ogre Battle: PoLC - Jam-packed with content. We’re talking customizable armies, equipment, classes, unlockable characters, alignment system with consequences (actually makes the game harder if you’re a good guy), multiple endings. A little thick; you’ll probably want to read a little about the game’s mechanics before you start. Both available on VC!
Front Mission 3 - 1, 2, and 4 are alright (I never played 5), but 3 is the most streamlined without limiting your customization tremendously. Plus it has 2 completely different storylines, each a full game’s length. That’s a lot of value!
Dynasty Warriors 3 or 7 - On the surface, a button-masher. At higher difficulties, a very tense action game where you must constantly balance which of your allies to help and when. 8 is very flashy, if you only intend to play it a little bit. But the longer you go, the more you realize how infantile the enemy AI became. 7′s generals could be hard as nails.
Robot Alchemic Drive - Absolutely bananas game. Giant robots. Intentionally bad acting. Unique controls. Here’s a video (Warning: Blood. Kinda). This was the precursor to the EDF series. It’s also one of the only games I beat more than once (I beat this game 3 times!).
As for a show, how about Growing Up Creepie? That was a cool little cartoon about a human girl that was raised by bugs in a mansion and her interaction with ordinary humans while going to school.
I’m embarrassed to say, but I’ve never heard the entire Excalibur album by Grave Digger. Still, I’ve managed to collect 6 tracks from it over the years. Emerald Eyes alone is worth listening to as a slow, metal love song. And Excalibur still has my favorite solo, period.
I was alright through most of the story, even when sad things happened. But I started getting choked up on the last song, when Eliza starts singing. And then… when she mentioned the orphanage… I just completely lost it.
… Thank you @mikedaws0n, for telling me about that performance. I absolutely judged it too soon. That was incredible and… I can’t imagine spending the last 3 hours any other way.
1) Could you be more specific? We’ve spoke a number of times.
It’s certainly varied. But, while Equestria does have things like broadway, I was and still am a poor mare. I don’t have much experience with it; certainly never seen a high-quality show like that, and only a general knowledge of what musicals performed there sound like.
What I’m trying to say is, it doesn’t really sound noteworthy to me. It sounds professional, to be sure! I’m just not sure why it specifically would be a hit compared to something else. Doesn’t help that I have no context for what they’re talking about.
3) A little disappointing. Though, to be honest, chances are they’ll never have a reason to go back to older games with how popular character customization has become. They should always have more options. And more popular/new games get more attention. They’re just worth more in ad revenue to cover.
4) I guess I’m not as experienced at cyberpunk as I thought. I suppose you’re right about those being standard, but I’ve never really seen them as the focus. Usually more of corporation versus individual/family, or corporation versus law, or even corporation/law versus individual/family. There’s always been a very strong “against the world” tone present, owing to the punk half of the terminology. But I guess there are general tools used to articulate that, present in nearly all examples of the genre.
I must not pay enough attention.
I just want to aplogize to all the substitute teachers. ..yall didn’t deserve that :(
What’s interesting to me is that no other gem has demonstrated this ability; Peridot even implies that pearls are the only ones who can, as they are are there to “stand around, look pretty, and hold your things for you.”
So clearly, it’s a rare or specialized ability.
2. Every Diamond we have seen thus far ‘owns’ a pearl, and those pearls all seem to share a color scheme with their given Diamond.
(I place ‘owns’ in quotations because, frankly, I don’t believe anyone can be owned by another.)
3.. Pearl seems as though she may have belonged to White Diamond, or alternately, may not have belonged to Rose as previously speculated.
I think that, by now, we’re all very familiar with this theory, but I will reiterate. As you can see from the above images, the Pearls each have their gem in the same spot as their Diamonds do. Pearl does not have a gem on her navel as Rose Quartz did, but she does have on her forehead where White Diamond does.
And this means…..
4. …that there may have been a Pink Pearl who belonged to Pink Diamond, and who is currently missing in action.
So who, and where, is Pink Pearl? Patterns thus far would indicate that she would have a pink color scheme and be able to hide things within herself. She also would have had a very obvious affiliation with Rose Quartz, who either is Pink Diamond or belonged to her court.
Incidentally, one character fits that description perfectly.
Interesting.
One of my favorite things about Steven Universe is when I read stuff like this. Because instead of going “Oh, that’d be cool of it was canon,“ like I would with most shows, I go “Oh! I can’t wait to see that episode!“
Happy Hearts and Hooves Day, Lyra!
Thanks though, York!
Happy Valentines Day!
I typed a whole bunch of text here and it’s all gone and it was funny and just pretend its still here and funny and thank you.
2) I haven’t, but without any prior knowledge I’m positive they’ve done Magic Pengel. Tell me I’m wrong.
3) Lyra: I feel I’d be closer to Bunnie.
Tootsie: Can I be Sally?
Lyra: Pfft. You can be Antoine. Tootsie: E~w! Lyra: Oh hush; you’ve never even seen the show.
4) Without further knowledge, I couldn’t say. From what I found on it though, it looks like a point-and-click adventure game. Not my cup of tea. So feel free to spoil it for me to elaborate on “dark”. I’ll censor it if I gotta when I reply.
5) Lyra: Crotch boobs are ridiculous enough. I draw the line at snake boobs.
Tootsie: Boo~bs!
Lyra: Stop making me out to be a bad influence! You know better!
Well, to be fair, you also fight space imperialists, hive-minded space zombies, different hive-minded space zombies, and highly advanced, hyper-adaptive aliens…
Bet you thought I was gonna say in space. Nope. You fight them… ON THE MOO~N!
Lyra: Bonic! She can really move! Bonic! She’s got an attitu~de! Bonic! She’s the fastest thing ali~ve!
Bon-Bon: There is no way a pony can move their legs to make that formation.
1) Not really, at least not anymore. At this point only a few of the tumblrs I follow even post something everyday. At most I’m figuring ten-twenty posts each of like three tumblrs. Everything else is just intermittent. Which is a word that evidently has a T on the end of it. I did not know that.
2) Not a whole lot comes to mind. Around this time last year I was looking forward to Bladestorm: Nightmare, but that turned out to be a horrible port. I never even bought it with the money I had set aside.
I’m looking forward to XCOM 2. Even though the snake-lady thing is… so very stupid. The first one was great and this one is supposed to have much more weight to the choices you make in and out of battle. And with mod support!
The only other game has already come out, I’m just waiting/hoping for it to come to Steam. Earth Defense Force 4.1! I had a mild interest in the first EDF way back when, but this one looks phenomenal!
Can’t think of any upcoming movie that interests me.
