The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Whoop, good morning everyone. I died last night lol.

Speaking of ME, I have the whole collection thanks to some blow-out sale Gamestop was having towards the end of last year. This won't be for a while, but do you guys recommend I play it linearly, or should I jump i.e. because 1 isn't as good as 2 or 3? :3

Took the Joss Whedon quiz & got Kaylee. No idea who that is since I don't watch Firefly lol. I wonder if Dana from CitW was in there? :0

Buns I used to be really addicted to Sims, but seeing you posting all those screencaps earlier on makes me wanna go back to it lol. It's too much like Animal Crossing though, I fall in love then get sick of it after like a month. XD I'd also like to get into games like Skyrim & Fallout (because Bethesda whooo Pacman get Dishonored already what's wrong with you), but merrrrr so much time necessary to enjoy it to the fullest hahaha.

I feel like I should've probably popped SA2:B on my list as well actually hahaha. I've wasted so many hours. I have *one* emblem left - JUST ONE - and it's on stupid Chao Karate ahfsjgghdkjg. Hacked piece of shit.

Fox lol I nearly jumped at the artwork that had a chick from Witch's House in it. Yeek! Fun times though, but the ending pissed me off. >:U

Ee, I used to really love Fire Emblem too. idk what's happened for my affinity for that series though, I guess I'm just losing it for jrpgs in general. :/

Mirror's Edge I had to drop after five minutes because I wanted to puke... hahahaha

Hokay all caught up here. I'm gonna go ahead & do a quick IC this morning since I missed one last night D| Sorry for that. Still haven't learned my lesson about calling posts at night I guess lol. LET'S JUST HOPE THE RPG DOESN'T CRASH AGAIN LIKE IT ALWAYS DOES ON ME

Edit: Okay my post is /really/ really dumb but i had a fun time writing it ahahaha

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Morning guys! My essay's almost done, so I thought I'd take a little break this morning to check the ooc. Looks like a new gaming discussion's up |D Luckily I have pics of all my favorite games already stored in my comp so I can mimic Pacman without wasting time haha!

I'll be watching all the eps at once when we start with Avatar since I need to have at least an hour of background noise while I'm doing work stuff at home haha, so rather than watch ahead of everyone else I vote for waiting til the end of the watching season/week or whatever to chat about it? :]

Brawl's good if you use a gamecube controller lol. I prefer Brawl to Melee anyday because Diddy <3. He just got confirmed for the new Smash Bros. also, which I'm picking up on the 3ds. Hopefully it won't be a pile of poo!

Get Blue Spheres was <333. I remember wasting hours of my life on that minigame.

Also I'll be posting later tonight. Love the posts, everyone (:

GAMEY GAMEY GAMEY

BORDERLANDS 2.

i think you all know this by now

****



Pokemon HeartGold & SoulSilver

This game was a remake done right hahaha. I've been a Pokemon fan since RBY came out & I stole my bro's copy of Blue, but there wasn't a Pokemon I could proudly call my favorite. Then GSC came out and had Chinchou ;A; Plus all the new concepts like day & night, Dark & Steel types, breeding, 16 badges, & a story that's actually relatively interesting lol. I loved BW's story too, but I absolutely hated how they traded in Pokemon following you & the ability to run without holding B all the time for gross pixilated in-battle movements lol.

****



Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

This game. THIS GAME. Ghosting & coordinated snipe shots, plus that difficulty AGHHH. EAT SHIT

****



BORDERLANDS 2

First person shooter combined with RPG elements, psycho characters, classes with unique skills, intriguing world/magicry design (love the concept of the Sirens), a developed & beautiful story (much more interesting & better executed than the first game) with DLC that actually makes you cry too lol... damn. This game got me hooked into stealthy meleeing for FPS games as well, I've got a rep on KZ3 multiplayer as the melee queen thanks to my abuse of Zer0 in this game haha! & this RP's rendition of Trixie is heavily inspired by Tiny Tina as well. I must've spent over 500 hours on this game by now, as I've played all six characters & Zer0 twice lol.

I'm a fan of KZ3's multiplayer for the same gameplay reason actually. I love having a unique class/skills system in FPS games.

BL2's a love or hate game lol

****



Viewtiful Joe

This guy's my childhood & spawned off one of the only anime shows I could watch repeatedly hahaha. As Joe you get sucked into the world of movies & play as a 2D side-scroller. You have these movie-relevant special effect powers too, like Zoom-In, Mach Speed, & Slow. The execution is just so... unique, & the characters are crazy awesome as well haha. Alastor's my baby <3

****



Ratchet & Clank

Especially Going Commando (#2), Crack in Time (#9), & Full Frontal Assault (#12), the last one being a tower defense-esque game without changing the actual gameplay style itself. I'm not much for platformers at all (could never get into games like Mario), but this game... I guess it's because the addition of crazy alien guns &/or interesting world setup? I'm a huge fan of the characters as well, & the plots of #2 & #9 especially. Favorite villain of all time is definitely Nefarious.

****



Conker's Bad Fur Day

The original N64 version, not the shitty Xbox remake that made me sell my own Xbox out of sheer disappoint (I bought one just for that remake :|) & never trust Microsoft ever again. (Thanks for buying out & ruining Rareware ya douches.) Got this game when I was just 7, thanks to my bro lol, so yeah it ruined whatever innocence my childhood could've-should've had. Same thing as R&C, I was never a fan of platformers but this game also seems to be an exception hahaha. It's like Sonic-y characters but with tons of immature potty humor, innuendos, & movie references lol.

****



Dynasty Warriors 7

I love Chinese history, so this game's change from focus on individual character arcs to full-on story modes consisting of all characters of each faction made me finally care about characters I never bothered even remembering from previous games. The execution of death scenes you know happens from having played the previous games/knowing about the history itself... it's like you know they're gonna die, but when the deaths actually make you cry this time around versus how they never did in the previous games (for me)? Wu's not even my favorite & I still had to drop the game for a week for making me cry at a particular character's death lol.

THEN THERE'S THE CHARACTER CREATION IN EMPIRES FDFSDGKF

****



BoRdErLaNdS 2 omg

****

Uhh this is slot #10 right

Here's to hoping Deus Ex: Human Revolution & South Park: Stick of Truth make it to this list too haha. The first game I've not even completed yet but I'm already in total love with it, with the plot concept & execution (multiple pathsss), gameplay, stealth tactics... ah! & the latter is me being hopeful because South Park & RPG hahaha.

Aight, I'm off. Gotta wrap up my essay & head off to work haha. Had a fun time rambling hehe! I'll be back later tonight <3 Smell ya guys later!

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: Ddaear Café

"Oh what now?"

Amy just wanted to sit. Just to sit down, out of the sun, away from beefy musclebags, and to enjoy the calm before the inevitable drunken storm from their future barhopping. But no. Noooo. A parade had to literally march their way into the guilders' lives just to remind them that even they needed a pure break from their mission. A break that was much louder than she would ever have hoped.

Being in a group of social butterflies like the Pride, however, should have destroyed any hope of that from the start. Amy was quickly yanked from her seat by the much more powerful berserker and brought outside into the wild. Her protesting stopped immediately once the trio reached the parade itself, and she too was lost in amazement just as the other two were. As Moira turned with a spark in her eye to the cleric, the latter pressed her arm tightly against the side of her body, holding onto the strapped clutch even tighter. This was definitely not a place to leave behind any valuables.

But now she was conflicted. She really just wanted to sit down by this point. Yet the time of their lives beckoned them at every turn.

Not that she had much time to think about it regardless, since suddenly her world went dark.

"What the--?"

"Live a little, blondie!" she felt a slap across her shoulder. "Quickly, you must join our dance~" Then with some inhuman laughter, the perpetrator spun and pirouetted off back into a group of similar freaks performing some improv choreography.

After scrunching and reopening her eyes, Amy allowed her vision to settle. Her head heavy and her vision limited, she had definitely been forced into some sort of mask - the head of a giant cartoony dragon, which went damn well with her green dress. Almost toppling over, the cleric turned towards Moira. Luckily her eyes and reddening face were shielded from view. "Moira. Moira what on Ddaear am I wearing. Moira, please help get out of this, I'm about to fall over."

In an instant the perpetrator returned, wearing a giant dragon head-mask as well along with a yellow floral dress that dragged along the pavement. In her hands this time was yet another mask, this time sporting color schemes of both Moira's hair and maxi dress, although meshed together in such a goofy fashion. She extended the mask towards the berserker, her feet and hips in constant movement all the while.

Los Paraisos: Casino

As the others debated on their plan of action for locating Marcus, with Don already hitting one of the poker tables and Dylan quickly following suit, Trixie had indeed already taken off on her own as well. Finally, someone of her size easily managed to slip into a place she shouldn't even be allowed in! It's all thanks to its crowded city-like structure and the billions of people that could squish her at any second. Man, the longer they were at Los Paraisos, the more at home the prankster began to feel.

Trixie squeezed through the aisles, nudging against folks standing along some of those weird spinny tables or seated along giant gold slot machines. So many loud noises and dings and dongs and horrible music. But that didn't deter her from doing her mission!

Wait what was it again? Oh yeah. Finding Marcus. So she poked and prodded the backside of any visitors with messy silver hair. "Marcus? Is that you? Oh I'm sorry. Hey Marcus! Whoops, that's not you. Hey, hey, Marcus, it's me, Tri--never mind."

It felt a little too weird not to be booted out right away. She'd never been in a 'casino' before; Amy always talked about them but said there were never any around wherever they went together - and that she'd be kicked out of them anyway. Being in one now she couldn't understand at all why she'd be kicked out - it was loud and colorful just like her! And the palace was crowded enough that she could easily slip away from anyone who dared to intrude on her fun as well... hue hue hue.

"Merrr. Whatever!" she squeed, losing herself deeper and deeper into the golden abyss.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

It's been eons since I've seen the show (& iirc Buns has seen all the eps too haha), but yeah three eps a week is doable for me, since that should round to about an hour a week.

Gonna work on a post now. I might not post on Sunday since I've got an essay due Monday (& one due tomorrow while I'm at work so I have to do it *now* orz), but I won't get home from work on Sunday until 9pm, so depending on how far I get Saturday night... @@; Other than Sunday though I'm gonna try my hardest to at least pop in short posts rather than miss out entirely whenever I'm booked like this haha. I'll make up for helping out with progression/setup more once the workload starts to die down a little bit. ^^;;;

Hope you guys can forgive me for all the excuses :/



Edit: Sorry this is taking ages to wrap up, I'm almost done haha

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: Beach

Silent as death. Well, except for Syed and Aria muttering to each other about the show Amy was stirring up. To which she yelled "I heard that!" towards the duo - without taking her eyes off Lucien however - once Syed made his comment about her being scary when angry. A part of her smiled inside knowing she's still got the intimidation in her. But no wait she was supposed to be irritated. The stupid pigs, the stupid volleyball game, her stupid inability to participate in any sports whatsoever, the stupid pigs again. Things were just stacking, and now it was down to Lucien.

Poor, poor Lucien. Surely he was not used to women being angry with him for no reason - or maybe he was. One minute he was proving himself the manliest man to have ever walked the beach; the next he found himself choked by the cleric's fierce emerald glare. Guilty by association. He held his hands up, surrendering to her powers - but not without sputtering out his last words, accompanied by a nervous laugh. Truly a comedian that knowingly bit off more than he could chew, but swallowed it anyway.

"W-What do you, uh, get when you cross a martial artist and a pig. Uh, a pork chop."

Silence. Like death.

Amy's hand loosened along with her frown. Ha. Haha. Cuz they're - they're pigs. And she could... chop them up. Haha. Get it. Double entendre. Haha. It was like some telepathy went on between Amy's subconscious and Lucien's telling of his dumbass joke.

But then Syed started to cackle. Shit, wait, no, she couldn't embarrass herself like that again, so she forced her scowl even further and retained her narrowed eyes at the summoner for just a moment longer. Until...

"Gods. Stupid! Men are so stupid!" She stormed off the makeshift volleyball court, swiping up her dress with her claw as she made her way back towards the bar.

Los Paraisos: Water Park

Anyone else who would have offered to team up with the Pride after witnessing the loud and feisty turn of events would have questioned their own sobriety by this point. Teenage girls screamed at something or other left and right, and even as things seemed to be calming down, there was no telling whether some drama would sprout again just from any one wrong word. Especially after Josette nearly drowned her own brother. But Xandra instead chuckled, entirely amused by this chain of events.

Trixie, still gripping onto Jerry's shoulders, jerked her head to face the metallurgist as she called out and reassured her of Don's saved life. "Huh?" She turned to look at exactly what the lady was talking about. Sure enough, Don's chest was indeed heaving steadily. He gave another weak thumbs up. The prankster gasped and beamed in response before hopping to her feet and skipping back over to the others.

"Wow lady, I didn't know that. Thanks for lettin' me know, S... Z... Sa... ...m...?"

Ahem. Uh. To save herself from embarrassment, Trixie whirled around to see Estelle, who watched Josette in absolute silence. Except that wasn't just any watching. Trixie knew those eyes from Amy... which, if that n00b-butt was their friend now, was not a good expression to have at all. "Hey, hey Supersis, you okay? Lookin' a bit..." Angry, was the word, but somethin' about calling out the obvious always seemed to worsen the situation.

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

omgggg I love everyone's interactions <3. Both the water park & beach scenes have been an absolute blast to read. Amy especially has a lot to work with this round too hahaha, idk it feels really successful to me when a character who doesn't like talking much has golden interacting opportunities. I always feel so stoked to write with you guys. Thanks for rocking :D hehe. Hope everyone else has been enjoying themselves too!! (& yeah like Buns said I hope this week stays manageable for everyone!)

EDIT: Just got home! I'll get started on a post right away.

Just a friendly reminder that I won't be posting tomorrow, in case that affects anything haha. :]

Amy: B-BAKA. BAKA YAROU!

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Los Paraisos: Beach

Amy couldn't help but chuckle loudly once Moira popped the ball. She was so close to walking out of this gods-forsaken game, but at least she wouldn't be blamed for ruining it. Which meant her drinking night out had not yet been ruined. Perfect.

Satisfied, she whirled around and moved back to her seat, ready to put back on her dress and shield herself from any oglers.

But that plan was cut short. "Dude, how do you do it, dude? How are you surrounded by all these hot chicks? I gotta know!"

In a flash, Amy whirled back around, her movements as sharp as ever. Just then the man addressing Lucien looked to Aria, to Selan - and to Amy herself. A smug grin crossed his bloated face as he awaited a response from the summoner.

How was he surrounded by 'all these hot chicks'? No. No. Lucien was the de facto king of jokes in the Pride - and Amy wouldn't stand for a joke that came even close to objectifying his female teammates. Or maybe he knew better than that. Maybe he was different from all those other 'comedian' pigs out there. But the fact that someone opened the opportunity for Lucien to crack such a joke had already pissed off Amy. She was always quick to judge.

Before she could strut over to the summoner to stop him however, she found herself deterred. Pinned down. A loud gasp escaped her lips as she jerked her face to her right. One of those flatulent pigs had wrapped his arm around the back of Amy's shoulders, and began to casually flex his free arm off to the side. Not even looking the woman in her emerald eyes of death.

"So that was a fun game," he said coolly, his voice oozing with masculinity. "Of course this team would be nothing without me. Impressive, huh dude? I mean look at these pecs - NNF!" Still eyeing his beefy arm, he paused to allow Amy to ooh and ahh at his muscularity. But there was no such praise. Oh well. She was probably so impressed she was dumbstruck.

Oh yeah. Now was his chance! "Hey, you know what I think? I think we got a pretty good opportunity to develop our friendship a little further, don't you? We should toootally go out for a drink, dude. What's yo' name? You're not doin' anything tonight, are ya' ba--"

SLAP!

"Don't fucking touch me!"

In a flash the meatbag was sent careening to the ground. Amy's body heaved with every deep, audible breath. Standing tall, she had her arm jutted up close to her face, hand flattened like a sword. Her palm, the flatside of her sword, pulsed with an angry crimson. And she was not yet ready to sheath her weapon of mass destruction. As loud as the impact was, Amy remained without pain, without mercy. Callous. Daunting.

Death in her scowl, her flaring eyes locked with Lucien's. He was courteous (albeit a bit curious in his mannerisms), Amy would admit - he encouraged her during the game with nice enough comments that weren't at all laced with perversion. But that wasn't enough to save his sorry hide from ruining his impression on her if he took the wrong shot. If that summoner joked - no, if he even made a peep about "all these hot chicks" being his harem or his groupie or his whatever...

"Don't you fuckin' dare."

---

Los Paraisos: Water Park

While the others tended to Josette, Trixie had scampered back to Don's side and was screaming at Jerry the lifeguard. "OH MY POTATO SALAD, YOU'RE NOT DOING IT RIGHT. HE'S GONNA DIE AND IT'S GONNA BE ALL YOUR FAULT. YOU'RE A LIFE-GUARD RIGHT? HURRY UP AND GUARD HIS LIFE THEN, O-M-G. SAVE HIS LIFE FASTER. SAVE HIMMMMM!" She began to rattle the man by his buff shoulders. "Save'im save'im save'im save'im save'im!"

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Hey guys! I have some time to kill before I go to work (class ended early) so I'm gonna go ahead & work on a post now. :) Just gonna grab some food first haha.

Before I forget to mention it, I won't be able to post Thursday. Got class that morning, work that night, & a horrifying midterm Friday morning, so blahhh. Tomorrow I won't be home til around 9:30pm or so, but I'll try to post soon as I get home haha. Hopefully I won't be too fatigued, I've been falling asleep super early lately haha. Wanted to leave a little just-in-case warning... It'll be a bleh week all around <___>;;

Sorry for ladling this with excuses >>;;

EDIT: Whoop, that took a tad longer than expected. Ah well, not late for work, so no worries. Hope my post makes up for Amy sniping Lucien's shots during the volleyball game hahahaha

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Hey guys just wanted to leave a note that I won't be posting tonight; dedicating all day & the rest of the night to finishing my lit paper so I can catch up with reading for my history midterm on Friday (that I'm absolutely terrified of lol, since my score affects my final haha). Depending on how tonight's progress goes, I may or may not be posting tomo morn either since I still have hw due tomo too. @.@ Will deffo post tomo night after work though.

I've got another paper due on Saturday (by email 4pm e.e), so apologies if all this work wonks up my activity level this week haha.

Hope everyone had a good weekend (& day off for those who had one)!

The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

Was JUST about to quote & reply to Danni, then I saw Pacman's post. >>>:C hahahaha. Yeah the song is one of Em's classics. Surely you've heard of his super poppy recent singles "I'm Not Afraid", "Love the Way You Lie (with Rihanna)" & "Monster (with Rihanna... again)"? xD Honestly not a fan of any of those three songs since they sound a bit too... mainstream I guess? (hipster status alert), but everyone else I know seems to like at least one of them even if they dislike Em haha.

It's cool though, people give me the same look when they're like "HEY DO YOU KNOW *pop singer*??" I don't listen to the radio at all lol. So I know where you're coming from, Danni :]

& Fox, it is way too early for me to be laughing over things like this hahaha!
