henrymidfields Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) 6 hours ago, Gemma said: favorite video game villains? Lysandre from Pokemon XY, as his rhetoric of a "beautiful Kalos" that he need to recreate to allow his people to secure his chosen people the dwindling resources is something that comes from real-life right wing politics. The "beautiful" part is a grandiose rhetoric that reminds me from Trump or Abe, while the latter part is basically Nazi Germany's Lebensraum theory - which have influenced Francois Coty, a perfume magnate and far-right political activist in 1930s France. Lysandre was a really clever way of referencing a part of French politics which (could have) made history. Ganon from Zelda is another that just got better and better. Why? Because he is immortal, and he will always return to ruin Hyrule, and he makes Link and Zelda work their asses off. Bonus points to his incarnation in Hyrule Warriors, where he resurrected and outright won against Link, Zelda, and Lana and obtained the entire Triforce. We really need more scenarios where part of the main story involves Link and Zelda outright losing an earlier fight against Ganon before finally prevailing over the latter. Sin and Yu Yevon from Final Fantasy X for being an allusion to the nature of sinning and the devil from the Christian bible. (For being part of a nation and people that shies away from the more rigorous types of religious beliefs - which my family and I myself can attest to, I'm fascinated by how Christian-influenced Square-Enix made FFX to be.) Zephiel from FE: Binding Blade, for being one of the few top FE villains who did not overly rely on supernatural powers, but relied more on his ruthlessness, skill, tactics, and diplomacy as a politician and military leader to conquer and raze the continent. Ryoma and Hideki Tojo from Fire Emblem Fates Conquest: WWII Pacific Theatre Edition Nintendo characters that you hate, or find overrated?

Well, if I were as wide as I were tall, I'd be pretty fat and that would make me uncomfortable; but if I were as tall as I am wide, I would be very small, so that I might easily get crushed by things or even get trampled; so all in all, I'd rather be as wide as I am tall.

If my family's doing it or if I'm at a decent place, rare steaks please. Filet mignon is Mmmmm for burgers, medium is usually fine because they're less quality meat and loaded with toppings. whaaaat's your favorite plot in a story based game?

I really enjoy difficult boss battles, specifically because I think pushing the player to the limits is what a Boss Fight is supposed to do. It's not that simple though, cause there's a really thin line between legitimately challenging and just being cheap imo. How would you caption this image?

Randoman Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Since you mentioned giving My Little Pony a chance a while back, which of the main 6 characters are your favourite, from what you know or have seen of them? Here's a picture of them, if you need a memory jogger. On 12/25/2017 at 8:41 PM, SullyMcGully said: Are you having a holly jolly Christmas? I think mine went well. My cousins joined me for some gaming this Christmas (they didn't for the past few years) and tried out around 5 or so of my Super Mario Maker levels.Though with things being cut short due to vacation preparations, it was kind of weird and different. We at least did have a lot of food prepared, though 1/3rd of it had to be given away to relatives since we were leaving for vacation the day after and it would've spoiled while we were on the trip.

Randoman Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 What are some of your biggest pet peeves? Or if you've already been asked that, is there anything in particular that you're looking to in 2018? 8 hours ago, henrymidfields said: Where were you during the supposed "end of the world" on 22 December 2012? 2012 was the year the Wii U was released, and I got it at launch, and with December 22 being a day almost everyone gets off from work/school, I was probably playing New Super Mario Bros. U. Seeing how my siblings and I defeated the main game at that point already along with Superstar Road, I was probably either trying to get Gold on all 80 challenges or looking for all the secret exits. I remember finding the secret exits taking me a long time, seeing how compared to other 2D Mario games, the secret exits were much more cleverly hidden.
