Speaking of LPs, I read the actual thread for Chip's Watch_Dogs LP against my better judgment and gently caress. The LP itself is nice, but the people who post in there have absolutely no drive for self-improvement and it irks me. "Welcome to Chip LPs" is not an excuse, stop using it like one. One of the few nice things Zorak did was type a whole lot of words about Tibetan stuff during Chip's Uncharted 2 LP, presumably to bring up a topic that wasn't about Drake being a murderer. I've seen the posting ability of humanity, and I see nothing stopping them from making good posts. I'll still keep up with Watch_Dogs, because Chip is a competent video game player and I'm curious as to how it turns out, but not enough to actually buy a copy myself.

Burn down the sandcastle.

Read the Wonderful 101 thread around 3/4 or so through the game if you want to see people who very clearly understand nothing at all about the blatantly obvious themes or atmosphere of the game. It was then that I decided I would never read any LP post that is not an update.

LP has more brokebrains than E/N.

Yeah, I don't know why I read the threads either.

I love how the initial loading screen for Splatoon is a shot of someone's room, presumably an inkling. There was quite a bit of world building in this dumb gay painting game for babies.

Also I played Oath in Felghana, but I kept getting my rear end kicked in the first Chester fight and I just stopped playing.

Any of you watch future card buddyfight, I wanna talk about how bad that show is and how gary oak just fuckin shows up in the background of one of the episodes all like "Smell ya later losers I'm ditching pokemon for future card buddyfight that's where all the money's at!"

I watched the first few episodes, up until one of the characters transformed into a warrior with long flowing hair. When you say Gary Oak, you mean the yellow haired kid with the kitten shirt or does actual Gary Oak show up? If it's the second one then I better get back into Buddy Fight.

That show is so bad I love watching it with my fiance because he hates it and gets so mad at it but he won't watch it with me anymore cause he says there's not enough booze in the world :(

It's weird, because I sort of unironically liked it. It was really bad yeah, but I love how the main kids looked out for each other, and that it was adorable how Gao's little sister thought his dumb Solaire routine was the coolest poo poo ever. Did any of that fall to the wayside during the ABC Cup? That's around the point where I just sorta stopped watching.

this is why you can't really blame people for seeing a lot where only a bit exists. as a lesbian, i like stories about lesbians. sometimes stories that aren't explicitly about lesbianism have enough ambiguity in a specific relationship that i read it that way, because it makes the show more enjoyable for me, and it's not like there are a whole lot of anime for me to turn to when i want explicitly lesbian stories. this isn't a requirement for me to enjoy something but i'd be lying if i said i didn't see it as a plus.

I tried listening to one of the Zorcasts and the volume is so drat low that I have to turn up my computer volume way the hell up, then my ears get blasted when my computer does any other sort of sound. Sure there's mixer settings that can help with that, but that's way too much effort to listen to the former anime mod ramble about Steven Universe.

I like that Fate/Zero was less wordy than Unlimited Blade Works, or rather I think F/Z handles its words better. Unless it only happens in the first half, there's a whole lot of bits in UBW where the characters just exposit at each other in the middle of battle and I get massive anime blueballs when all this crap about ideals pops up in the middle of a magic battle.

At least Zero knew extended conversations about ideals should only happen over booze between kings.

Oh yeah I watched Kingsman a few days ago and thought it was a nice action movie. And then I read the later pages of the CineD thread and got sad.

But I found out from that thread that there's a sequel in the works, so that's nice. Lancelot didn't do a whole lot in the movie and I hope that's alleviated in the sequel.
