Cardcaptor Sakura 5

Some of those plush dolls looked kinda creepy. Like, their eyes were all off and such. I probably wouldn't be able to sleep in a room with things like that in there.

I don't know how Tomoyo's plan to keep the shopkeeper distracted by talking about random crap like her video-making hobby worked, but I guess the woman just has a short attention span. Or I guess she was lonely and just glad to have somebody around to talk to, seeing as how she was new in town, her fiancee died, and there were weird rumors circling around her. Even if it was just a little girl.

FF9 made load times even worse with the way you had to grind out skills from equipment.

CorvoSol · Jun 12, 2013

It isn't the load times that bugs me, its that the ATB bars fill so damn slow, and stop whenever anybody does a ridiculously lengthily animated attack. Which is all of them. FF9 is charming, but its battle system is far and away the worst in the PSX era.

Mario 64 was good at the time, but it's pretty dated now. Sunshine was never good.

I've played the game to completion four or five times over the years, and I just can't agree with this at all. It still has the best controls of any 3D platformer, the level design is still fantastic, and it's not even that visually-offensive as far as early 3D games go. The only thing that's aged poorly is the camera.

What it means is battles lasting an absurd length of time if I ever bother to try and Eat or Steal something. I like FF9, I do, but coming off FF8's speed-J into that is like ramming into a brick wall after going 100mph.

Well we start with Princes and Boyish girls, which is the apple of the eye for other females aka SDBurton land galore. Utena even thinks of herself as a Prince, with her friend proclaiming her as her true love.

And weird imagry, duels, and

portruding swords from this dude's waifu

Although either way, Utena now has a wife, making her a mahou harem girl. Dem musics

yeah but that's after spending so much time spamming draw. Sure you could turn items and cards into magic but no one ever figures that out early on when you're most magic deprived. It is nice though that once you know the tricks how easy it is to break the game.

High School of the Dead 8

What I learned from today's episode of HOTD: A woman's breasts are two entirely liquid objects, encased in a very thin layer of flesh. This is the ONLY way to even remotely explain what I just saw. Golldurn boob ripples. RIPPLES.

Also, rather than PICKING UP REI and putting her back in the truck so we can get out of here, let's all make an insanely stupid stand against the zombies. But hey, it's cool to ride on top of a HMV during the apocalypse anyway.

Also, Takashi and Hirano are like, the most fortunate apocalypse survivors ever.

Don't worry, I understand this. It was simply a convenient

ly inflammatory

superficial comparison to make. Still, I was genuinely put off by how much navigation in Galaxy was simply auto-navigating from platform to platform. Several levels felt empty to me because of how frequently I was just flying through space, although granted some of this is that I didn't like the bite-size nature of a lot of the individual planetoids to begin with. I understand why people like it, but I was bored outside of a few exceptions like Sweet Sweet and Ghostly Galaxies.

I was literally checking it out just to see how things were, because quite frankly, asking opinions on dubs is something I can't really rely on.

Tried doing this back in 2010. Was impressed with how smooth controls on dry land still function well, but despite that, it didn't grab me again. Felt pretty repetitive considering what I already know, and I've only really finished it twice before this one; Once on N64 and once on DS.

Clannad: After Story 9

Okay, back to where this show needs to focus its attention: Not wacky street gang nonsense, but Nagisa and Tomoya growing together and their struggles. That's your bread and butter writers.

So we're eventually going to lose Kotomi huh?

Well, I mean they were all gonna go their separate ways here eventually. But her's is a bit of a...bigger distance. I can think of a bigger one

and more permanent one while we're at it if the writers were really going for the "fuck your heartstrings we're gonna make you bawl" route they would save that for Nagisa and Tomoya.

Oh great, thanks writers, just as I'm thinking about that distance

Nagisa gets sick again, shit.

Tomoya without Nagisa is always a little rough to watch, right in the heart.

Sick for a month and more?! Shit, she's gonna repeat again, isn't she?

Well....fuck. I saw it coming a mile away but still, fuck. Dat heartache. Surprised we didn't see

Tomoya's dad at graduation though.

This show's end is gonna fuck me up something bad, isn't it?

Sword Art Online 5

What possible reason could Kirito have for not letting NPCs die when they respawn? I'm sorry, but if human lives and AI lives are at stake, and AI lives respawn, then it should be a NO BRAINER which way to go here.

I can't actually understand half of what Kirito says, does or thinks.

Aaaaawww, mommy's little beater is all grown up and on his first date! Jeez, there are some real sick people playing SAO. Go into someone's room and make them duel you while they sleep so you can kill them? Who'd have thought that among the 10k players who were permitted (and really, 10k is kind of sort of the worst launch sale ever), so many would be daggum psycopaths. Then again, the designer seems to be a sick old teacher who gets off on picking on kids, so uh, maybe he just attracted that kind of group?

Oh snap it's a whodunit! Ace Detective Beater is on the case! Yeah! Lingering butt shot of a frightened murder witness! Woo! All this objectification of women has me feelin' noire as fuck already.

OH BOY A CLUE. Khan Basilio is an upstanding guy. Also, that isn't a spear. Can we stop calling it one? LOL Kirito just jabs it in his hand. Lonely Beaters the world over know Kirito also shares their pain, but Asuna-kun will help heal his heart!

Man, what if Basilio doesn't want to hold onto your "spear" Asuna?

Holy shit you mean killing people in their sleep is a fad? Holy shit everyone in SAO is a fucking psychopath. 2000 people died by accidents alone when this game began. There's not going to be anyone left alive by episode 15.

Okay, Yoruko has been suspicious as hell this whole episode. Ten bucks says SHE DUN IT. People been playing this game so long they've gotten wed. How long have they been playing this game?

How can you not imagine that the game allows for murders in safe areas when you have spent an entire episode describe a popular method for murdering people in safe areas while they sleep?

Well, it looks like I was wrong.

Yoroku wasn't the dun it.
