The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Ahahaha Rex you and your Borderlands love |D

Aw man, Viewtiful Joe! I played the first game and adored it up until the point where the game started brutally kicking my ass and I couldn't get any further, but it was such perfection. It's really gutting we never got a new game or a HD collection. What the fuck, Capcom?

I only played the first PS3 Ratchet and Clank but that was a lot of fun too. Love the art style, animation and humour. Such good fun, but that cliffhanger D|

Wow Danni, I knew how much you loved ME and DA but I never expected your likes to be in that order :D Hahaha, I always thought ME would have come first! I still need to get around to playing Dishonoured sometime (hoping it comes out on ps+ >_>;) and I think you'd love the Assassin Creed games, perhaps?

Also I'm glad you chicks have the sense to love the best Pokemon game omg <3 I can't wait for them to do a Twitch version of G/S and see how they'd lose to that fucking Miltank! I loved all the little sidestories and lore, like the Slowpoke well, Farfetch'd catching, Sudowoodo, Unknown cave, the lighthouse and burning tower, the roaming dogs... plus like Rex said, the day/night cycle and daily events, everything about G/S was just... perfect. And R/S, whilst good, lost the same magic.

I got Faith! I wanted to try and get Buffy, but I'll take Faith <3 <3 <3

You answered 'Chat up the girl next to him' @ 'boy hitting on you' question, didn't ya Danni? |D

Los Paraísos: Pellagio Casino

No sooner had the Pride stepped into Los Paraisos’ lustrous casino in search of Marcus did all bedlam break loose with their own group splitting in a mad dash to explore and find the missing Mage. Don had already darted off to partake in the casino’s revelry with Dylan chasing behind, whilst Trixie had disappeared in the other direction, and Lisette haplessly tried to follow behind before losing sight of the prankster as well, leaving only Estelle, Josette and Xandra behind on the grand exquisite balcony that overlooked the sprawling casino floor.

“Well…” Josette blinked rapidly. “That didn’t take long at all. I’m not surprised about my brother… but I’d have thought some of your other friends might have been a bit more… co-ordinated?”

Josette’s comment was ignored, as Estelle blissfully became deaf to her rival’s words and instead focused her attention on Xandra, who looked to Estelle for her orders on how to proceed. Estelle wasted no time in puffing up her chest and looking all knowledgeable and mighty towards Xandra’s query.

"Wow...this will be like finding a needle in a haystack. Do you think we should split up? What's the strategy?"

“I think some of us splitting up like this is… good, with Don and Dylan together, and Trixie and Lisette too… but I think we should stick together, huh Xan?” Estelle grinned, excited at the opportunity of making a new friend. A new friend with an amazing laser firing cannon arm. “As for how to find Marcus, well… hehehe… that’s easy.”

“MARCUSSSSSS!!!” The red haired girl suddenly bellowed loudly, turning and hopping over the side of the balcony to land on the main floor below. She then cupped her hands together and started screaming some more as she wandered ahead, hoping for Xandra to follow behind. “MARCUSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!”

“Good grief…” Josette facepalmed, turning ahead and with a shake of her head beginning her own exploration. No way would she let Estelle find that beautiful, beautiful man before her!!

---

“Big Bro!!” Dylan screamed, racing after Don as quickly as he could with the hopes of stopping the man before he got lost again. “Hold up, Big Bro!!”

Catching up to the man, he slid in front of him. “Hey, Don, maybe we should find Marcus before you hit the tables, okay? Don’t want to get distracted from our mission so quickly, eh?” Dylan suggested, hoping to calm the man down and get him to return towards the others. Separating wouldn’t help to find Marcus, if anything it’d only cause more problems in trying to find everyone else! And whilst hide and seek could be fun, he wasn’t sure they should be playing it right this second.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk!” A dismissive sound emitted from Don’s throat, and a finger wagged side to side in front of the pretty man’s face. Dylan’s focus shifted from it, focusing back on the full man himself, to see Don assuming a righteously cool pose with his arms folded over his chest, a smug grin and sparkling smile turned towards his friend. “Lil’ Bro, you have so much to learn!” He laughed.

“…huh?”

“What does a man do when they’re in a casino? They gamble! It’s an unwritten law. There’s no stopping it, it just is.” Don began to lecture. “So us not gambling would be like… would be like… messing with the law of fizzsticks. Besides, you wanted to hang out bro style, right?” Don then shifted his stance, elaborately explaining to the Matter Artist an incredible plan that only a man like Don could create.

“This casino’s too big to be just looking for Magebro in. So… why not hit two stones with one bird!!” Don thumbsupped. He started walking forwards, patting Dylan’s shoulder and leading him forward besides him, guiding him towards one of the many tables, and plonking his rear atop the stool. Dylan turned around, to look for the others and hope they’d be able to come and assist him… but already the rest of his companions had disappeared. Oh my.



“Good afternoon, sirs, welcome to Blackjack.” The card dealer at the other side of the table smiled, effortlessly shuffling a deck of cards within her hands and making them fly back and forth. “Please, place your bets.”

Don reached into his suit’s jacket, extending some money to the dealer, who quickly exchanged it for some chips in a variety of denominations and colours. Don grabbed a blue chip, and flicked it onto the felt table, smiling with his traditional cocky smile at the card dealer and winning a smile and blush.

“Big Bro? I don’t understand.” Dylan looked uneasy.

“It’s simple!” Don laughed. “We’re going to win, and win big!, and draw all the crowds to us, including Magebro! We won’t have to find him, he’ll find us!!”

A pair of cards were dealt across the table. The first card landing in front of Don was a King.

“It’s genius!!” He continued to laugh.

Dylan’s expression said it all, as a ten slid it’s way to Don’s side too, his cards adding up to twenty.

“Hit me!” Don thumbsupped.

“WHAT?” Dylan’s eyes bulged.

“Sir…?” Serena raised one eyebrow first at Don, and then to Dylan.

Don shook his head and tsked again. “I said hit me!”

Dylan shielded his eyes. Whether or not he already knew it, Don couldn’t count, and barely understood the rules of Blackjack at all. There was no way a man could play on blind luck like this at all, could he...?

Despite all odds an Ace hit the two cards in front of Don, and a massive sigh escaped Dylan’s lips. This… this was going to be insane. Don’s smile widened, and his eyes started twinkling.

“C'mon Lil’bro, the fun’s just begun! Let's play!" Don laughed, before turning back towards Serena. "Hit me again!”

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

So it looks like we're all cool to do 3 episodes of Avatar a week? We'll start it on Monday and have it go to Sunday. People can watch the episodes any time during the week they're free, and we can either discuss it during the week using hider spoilers or wait until the Monday to discuss the past three episodes? :3

Speaking of discussion, I have a new one!

What's your top 5-10 favourite video games? :D



The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

I'm sure everyone could guess this is my favourite ~w~ Inspired the rp and is my favourite rpg ever. Really, really great game, world and story. The battle system, whilst not the greatest or most innovative in the world, is solid and fun. And the story and characters are just... amazing. JRPGs need to be much more structured like Trails. It's that much of a good game that as soon as it comes on Steam I'm willing (and want to) gift everyone here a copy of it. Just great.

**********


Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater

Sublime gameplay and a gripping storyline set during the Cold War and in Russia, game's an absolute classic and never, ever gets boring no matter how many times I play it. It's one of the first game that I've cried to, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. The 3 hour plus ending game sequence is simply brilliant and nothing has ever reached that height since.

Also, Snake Eater and the infamous Ladder Boss.

**********


Sonic 3 and Knuckles

Lock-on technology made the biggest, and greatest Sonic game ever. The whole thing is sublime. The levels and gameplay are fantastic, plus the soundtrack was composed by Michael Jackson himself! I mean, who doesn't love Ice Cap, Flying Battery and Sky Sanctuary's music? And the different level paths and bosses through Sonic 3 as Knuckles... or how great Blue Spheres was. I mean, goddayum.

The fandom did a really awesome soundtrack remix project called Project Chaos which I really recommend listening ~W~

**********


Golden Sun & The Lost Age

Pach loves games that lock on and help enhance and lengthen the whole game. This was my first proper jrpg (discounting the game below) and it's one of the best jrpgs ever. The character development itself was a bit thin, but the story was a classic with one of the greatest twists ever and the overworld dungeon puzzles and use of Psynergy was so great, to the point where I'm actually dissapointed more jrpgs don't do it. I based the Weir chapter on a story part in GS. Soon as I finished the first game I preordered and searched for the second, only to have to wait years for its release ;A; But what a release <3 A shame though that the DS game was crap.

**********


Resident Evil: REmake

Back when the Resi series was still scary and lumbered with tank controls and pre-rendered backgrounds, this is the definitive Resi game and one of the best horror games, period. The direction the Resi series has taken since has had mixed results (4 is great, 5 was fun with a friend and the great memories, 6 was an abortion) and it's a shame there hasn't been another game since like REmake... it was just fantastic all the way through. Every time I got to a save point I had to quit and take a break for 20 minutes because it was that scary, only to keep firing it up because I couldn't put it down.

**********


Persona 4 Golden

Rise. Chie. Kanji. Game's fucking awesome. Nuff said.

**********


Super Smash Bros: Melee

Kirby and Jigglypuff are pink puffballs of destruction there to rip you a new asshole. I love this game. Pure magic and fanservice love. I ended up spending about a year playing the original and this game with my friends every single day. It's just... dayum. Brawl was great too bar the clone characters and the Wii system itself (with one of the best game soundtracks ever), but Melee I think was the more definitive version. I'm sort of interested in the new one, but Wii U... :|

**********


Pokemon: Gold and Silver (HeartGold&SoulSilver)

Your rival. Pokemon Eggs. Fighting Whitney and Miltank. Return of Team Rocket. Unknowns and Sudowoodo. Ho-oh and Lugia. Return to Kanto and seeing how everything changed in three years. RED.

THIS GAME.

**********


The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask

My first Zelda, and from there my favourite. I loved the game's time mechanic, and the game as a whole had a really creepy and forboding atmosphere. That damn moon in the sky... There weren't many dungeons in the game, instead it had lots and lots of side quests, which really helped to flesh the characters out to make you care about the poor townspeople and how they'd all die in three days unless you stopped it. And the mask mechanic was really cool, with transforming into a Deku, Goron and Zora a lot of fun. I hope they do a remake for the 3DS.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Parisos: Water Park

Dylan’s suggestion to his weak big bro was met with a shaky thumbs-up, the best that Don could at the time muster, as the group continued to walk towards the infirmary to let him rest. Josette continued to walk with the group, interested and unconvinced with Lisette and Dylan’s response with regards their mission, and knowing full well she wouldn’t get an answer from Estelle or Trixie. Asking Don later seemed to be the only recourse, and now that she met him again, even despite her… irritation by him, she couldn’t just abandon their reunion quite so quickly, even if she did prefer to be working on her tan. She had to find out what made these doofuses so special that he’d tag along with them… other then the fact that he too was a doofus. She let it slide, content with having the baby capybara Kapi in her arms, for now.

Estelle meanwhile, shouldered her ‘younger sister’. She wished she could continue to enjoy the excitement of the water park, but after meeting Josette and with a couple of their group unable to properly appreciate the area as much as her, they’d just have to come back later with the others after their mission was complete. Estelle promised Trixie they’d get the floaty doughnuts then.

Dylan made the suggestion of finding Marcus and for them and Don to have some ‘bro-time’. And whilst Estelle wasn’t against that, she didn’t want to be left alone with Josette at all. And Josette… she probably wouldn’t leave Don, Dylan, or Marcus alone once she saw him. No no, they’d have to stick as a group. It wasn’t safe otherwise.

Less then an hour later, the man was right as rain again, and the party were bouncing along the strip again, Don dancing and spiralling around with pure unbridled happiness at seeing his sister again. And this time, not being kicked.



“My baby sis! It’s been so long! You’re still so cute!” Don skipped, trying to hold his sister’s hand but having the blue haired woman slap it away every time.

“Shut up, Don! Tell me! What’s going on! Why are you with these people!?”

“It’s a long story, lil’Sis!” Don laughed and wagged his finger. “I’ve been on so many adventures! I’ll tell you all about it later… but for now, just hang out with us!! You and Big Sis will love each other, I’m sure!”

Josette and Estelle both tensed up at the same time, looking at each other and silently shooting daggers.

“Big Sis, huh?” Josette spoke with a wry venom.

“Lil Sis, huh?” Estelle replied back.

Behind them, Jerry’s waving form disappeared in the distance, with Lisette enthusiastically waving back. The lifeguard was still on duty, but he made a promise to his Big Bro to meet up again. Dylan, Trixie and Xandra trailed behind happily enough, although Trixie was still filled with cautious concern for Estelle and how she saw Josette.

“So where’s Marcus then, Estelle?” Dylan asked. “I don’t think he went with the others to the beach?”

“He stayed at the hotel,” Estelle replied, filled with relief at someone breaking the fragile tension in the group and it not being an inanely stupid comment by Don, who was still twirling around and dancing, this time trying to pick Josette up and carry her over her shoulders to yet more swatting hands. “He said he wanted to check out the casino. He thought he’d get some information from there…”

“Magebro likes his alone time, huh?” Don raised his brow, before grinning. “Let’s crash it!”

“Yeah! Yeah!” Trixie chirped up at the thought of pranking Marmar. But what was a casino?

“Casino? What hotel are you guys staying at?” Josette asked.

“The Pellagio.” Xandra replied simply.

“…ah.” Josette couldn’t quite believe it. “That’s where I work!”

---

Los Paraisos: The Pellagio

Moments later, the group were back at the Pellagio, taking a brief break to change clothes, if they so desired, before they all started to follow Josette who led them to a series of grand steps descending down underground…

…and none of the group were quite prepared for the sight that was going to greet them.

“Holy heck!!” Don shouted, who had changed his Hawaiian shirt and easygoing shorts and flipflops for a bedazzling crisp and white suit, his hair now looking perfectly suave and measured. To his side was Josette, who had changed out of her revealing swimwear into something slightly more discreet and casual, but still revealing bare arms and thighs. “How are we going to find Magebro here?!” He exclaimed.



Winner Winner!
The casino was extraordinarily huge, and seemed to stretch forever and ever. The place glittered and glowed, emblazoned with gold almost all around. The high fever pitch of slot machine beeps and boops, and the sound of people playing and shuffling filled the room all around. The Pellagio was the biggest, more glamorous hotel of the entire island, so it only stood to reason that their casino was as well. But they didn’t expect the casino to almost be like a city unto itself.

“This… could take a while…” Estelle pondered, before suddenly realising Don was already running to partake of the casino’s excitement.

This was the answer to his debt problem prayers!!
