This is one of those "I couldn't make a more boring video game if I tried" scenarios. Did they patent the torture technique they must have used to ensure that Microsoft executives published this game

Compared to Fort Fermata, the pirate ship is incredibly good.

This next video is just the entire rest of the pirate ship up until right before the boss (I think, I didn't watch ahead)

The best video game characters are always the one who know the value of a good hat. Isn't that right Kaptin Bluddflagg?

Edit: I completely forgot there were any kind of challenges or such. I too may be King of Procrastination (also being asked to do something even vaguely creative in the arts makes me break down and cry uncontrollably) but I can tell you I will at least think about it.


Also I'm a fan of Hbomb :v:

This game is utterly awful, ridiculous, boring and the animations, proportions and anime stances (put your bloody arms down loving hell) put my teeth on edge.

You two playing it is wonderful and amusing. Please do continue.

E: Although Salsa with the hat did put a smile on my face. Might have been your enjoyment of it.

Salmiak and anise is Finnish (like Fazer), Swedes kinda pride themselves on their gelatine traditions, so that's Haribo to me. When I think of Danish sweets, I think delicatessen goods. Flaky crusts, spoonfuls of cinnamon, caramelised sugar and glazing.

For Sweden I first think of milk chocolate. And also the gelatine stuff. Honestly I can't really think of a candy I associate with Denmark, the Haribo thing is because the stuff we bought when little usually had Danish text before the Swedish on the package so it is a very loose association.

I've had to look up so many words on Wikipedia thanks to this LP. A salon in the context the educational slideshow probably meant was a "gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation."

So basically really snobby rich people talking to each other and pretending they're making each other smarter.

The perspective shifted to the other group, who washed up in a different place after Tuba's Bridge Explosion. Allegretto and his crew are off somewhere doing god knows what after the very important "get some water for this inconsequential flower" quest.

The flower is a metaphor.

The flower represents the Polish Revolution.

And the water represents bullshit fetch quests with no thought put into them.

Translating gratäng, (Swedish, from the French gratin,) is drat annoying. It is kind of a bake, but not really, and it is really annoying for a language nerd like me.
Wikipedia translates it as Gratin but most brits and I assume US and Aussie people don't even know the word.

Did you ever work out your Salsa woes? If you didn't work it out:

TAKE OFF HER SKULL AND BONES OUTFIT FOR GODS SAKE! Read the description - defense boost and STOP. That's why Salsa is freezing in battle

Unfortunately I think this was recorded quite some time ago so you may be annoyed for some time.

Also whichever of you two haven't played the JRPG's you mentioned should definitely try to play them. Nier is practically the definition of a game that manages to be greater than the sum of its parts (outside the music, as mentioned) and while Valkyria Chronicles's characters and story are peak anime the gameplay itself is super-interesting, even if there are a few way to break it completely.

Nice ending by the way :v:

I think we eventually figure it out. We were nearing the end of the third straight day of Eternal Sonata and we were not thinking straight.

Hbomb is the kind of person whose first instinct is "it must be something diegetic and story-related", while I was just not paying attention.
