Electric Phantasm posted:I love that the discussion got more and more serious about this shirtless bird guy and his talking rabbit friend. Everything really is more fun if you take it seriously. Can you explain the joke to me. Like first name is clearly a Arthur Pendragon reference with Pencil in it.

Here's the best description for Pencilgon I've found.quote:And so the anime community is introduced to Pencilgon, the woman whose background story involved her being such a video game supervillain that she literally became the final boss of Rust.

I cannot get over how good this show looks. The manga is just behind Attack on Titan on K Manga so it must be fairly popular, but I still didn’t expect such high quality animation. I really hope this isn’t a one and done adaptation and we continue to get this wild stuff.

I love how they give the throne room door to Pencil Knight a fog door effect. It's like, everybody knows what it's supposed to be. Also I appreciate the idea of somebody who cultivates disabling skills for the sole purpose of posing with hostile monsters. That's a dream to chase.

Pencilgon and the others' shenanigans in Unite Rounds sounds like a goon project to troll an MMO.  I also love how Sunraku and Pencilgon trash-talk each other the second they meet in SLF, as close friends do. It's stuff like this that makes it seem like the author has a lot of experience playing games with friends online.

The official manga has some end of volume stories written and the Epic of the Toxic Eagle was one of them. It's exactly as epic as it sounds.

Doodles posted:PEATZ! I'm not gonna lie, the friendly vorpal bunnies (and others) are my favorite part of the story. Mostly because they play into roles that are neat for the story but which player characters might not be willing to take up (and if they were, interacting with them would compromise Sunraku's opsec.)

I appreciate Sunraku's bit of self-reflection in this episode. Just playing trash games may have honed his reaction time and focus to a crazy degree, but it's also made him a bit complacent about taking losses when faced with a true challenge because he knows he'd just respawn from a checkpoint anyway. And I dunno why Sunraku's so mad about not getting loot from this quest. The rabbit choker giving him several levels with 2.5x stat points earned is the best treasure to be had.

He only went up like 2-4 levels if even that. The title DOES come with some great benefits though.

Infighting is something you don't see a whole lot in MMOs for, well, exactly this reason. People like Mr. Staring Vulture Mask over here can just swoop in and scoop up the spoils, because it's not like the fighters want them. Of course, if you try and code around it you can run into problems, like people training AoE attackers into a world boss fight to invalidate the rewards, or your own weapon's random poison chance not being recognized as your own damage. City of Heroes, for all that I'll talk it up, went this way too... kind of. There weren't really significant item drops to speak of, but you did lose out on a proportional-to-damage share of XP. Not a problem if there are a few rumbles mixed into the overworld spawns to add color - just keep going down the block, you'll get another one. But it really bit the low-damage crowd control archetypes, who could confuse a boss into destroying their own posse but wouldn't get much of a payoff from it, even if they jumped in immediately. ...oh, and there's this one occasional event where giant monsters show up and beat on each other, but because monsters have a tremendous regeneration rate it was tough for small teams to do a significant enough chunk of the total damage to be counted with defeat credit for the "I helped beat the giant monster" achievement. Fortunately that's one of the things the private server guys got on top of pretty quickly. But the Prismatic Forest Grotto is probably just the devs wanting to put on a show and not caring too much about the game balance in overworld area 4 out of plenty. I do wonder how many times Sunraku has played sportscaster while he was watching all the unskippable cutscenes in all those lovely games.
