Serious Frolicking posted:Yeah, surprisingly the show about a skeleton man and his band of fiercely loyal amoral monsters has some gore. Maybe I just don't watch enough anime to be desensitized to that sort of thing. Myurton posted:So? That scene isn't even close to being in the same ballpark as the most gory and overdone scene I've ever seen in an anime show, movie, or any other media for that matter. I agree, people should never ever talk about things they don't like.

Cerebral Bore posted:Overlord is actually a clever commentary on the discrimination that honest, hardworking skeletons face in their daily lives. Overlord is an elaborate parody of discrimination complexes. Despite claiming they were a victimized minority for picking the 'evil' races almost all MMOs with factions have a roughly even population. It makes you think. e: I think the real reason peopled bullied them is they all have ridiculous fantasy names. Cuntellectual fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Aug 5, 2015 |

Mordaedil posted:His name meant 'flying squirrel' in English. As a skeleton dude. I keep getting distracted by Ainz Ooal Gown or whatever. Desuwa posted:They don't go too far into depth about it but the game didn't have factions; non-human characters were supposedly rare and hard to get so the vast majority played humans. Same with some of his classes which were rare. Like becoming a Jedi in Star Wars Galaxies if the steps weren't posted on the internet for everyone to see. Oh, okay. So what it's ACTUALLY about is a mocking satire of the bourgeois, and how from their privileged position they claim to be victimized by the proletariat while ruthlessly exploiting and looking down upon them., AGC.

MonsterEnvy posted:Non Human races pretty much were stuff you had to pay for. Ains Ooal Gown the guild was famous for the amount of the real money they put down to get so much stuff. (That and the raid they created. Using a lot of this pay to win stuff.) Oh my god I thought you were joking, but then I looked it up and they actually are the famous pay to win guild.  I really hope someone makes fun of them for that in some way, I don't care who or how. e: Also they have a "You have to be a member of society" rule, but the guildmaster admits he has no friends, family or anything outside the game.

Sephiroth_IRA posted:To be fair pay 2 win probably just balanced the game more than anything since they were likely competing with NEETs. Sure, but if it were a real game (that isn't EVE) "those guys who bought their way to the top" would be a laughingstock. darkgray posted:I think the word's connotation in Japanese is more that they're a working adult, economically independent of their parents, etc. Not so much social.

MonsterEnvy posted:They were also famous for the fact that the Great Tomb of Nazerick was the Hardest Raid in the game and that no players managed to beat it prior to Yggdrasial going offline. From what I read. Guilds never got past then the 6th floor before being wiped. Until a huge alliance of players and their NPC's managed to get to the 8th floor before being wiped. After this the Tomb was considered unbeatable. Basically they were WildStar devs.  Mordaedil posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the way the pay-2-win aspect in Yggdrasil worked by playing a slot machine and not all of the members usually spent all their money on it, but Momonga did because he had nothing better to spend his paycheck on, so he sat around playing pachinko machines until they dropped good stuff and he was the most unlucky member in Ainz Ooal Gown, being generally jealous of everyone who got something good on their first roll. Couldn't tell, you, but the entry about them on the wiki I read was "Famous for having spent the most money on the game and having an unbeatable dungeon." Sephiroth_IRA posted:The tomb itself was originally just an area in the game that they managed to take right? I thought it was pretty sweet that once they conquered it the game allowed them to modify it as well. I think they made it.

The payoff on that plot thread is why I'm interested in the show still. Hopefully it'll be decent. My guess is there'll be some divide if he ever encounters one of his guildmates.Fabricated posted:Ainz paranoia is probably because he's a not totally optimal level 100 character due to his RP-build but given that his ridiculous raid dungeon HQ was able to wipe full raid parties of max-level characters back in the game world even before he and his guildmates had to lift a finger you'd think he'd not give a poo poo if people saw the tomb. The thing is, it was mentioned that some of the best items in the game were basically win conditions. They wouldn't have a chance if some dude had a sword that say, dusted Undead on touch.

Serious Frolicking posted:Perhaps the fact that you get the same reaction from bringing up that dumb webcomic every time is some sort of clue? If only there was some way to tell what "no one cares about your dumb webcomic" truly means... I'm not sure if it's funnier that he keeps bringing up apropos of nothing or the fact that you're citing your own posts as proof that it bothers people in general.

I think getting way too worked up over things is SF's gimmick.Sephiroth_IRA posted:Momonga believed that The Great Tomb could not be overtaken. That is until one crafty druid kited a world boss to the front gates. Can't wait for the episode where someone solos the tomb by getting punched in the face ten thousand times.

Serious Frolicking posted:Ains is a lonely, timid man who suddenly gained great power. For all that he is now essentially a god, the most important thing to him is still the good old days with his mmo guild. So, with that in mind, he only has three goals in life. Protect what his friends left behind, make himself famous so that if any of his friends are around they will come back, and avoid disappointing his evil minions who alternately serve as proxies for his friends and their children. I'm interested in how he'll respond to a real, actual threat. Lich-ness surpresses his feelings, but you're basically right. He's never really had to fear for his life before so I'm wondering how he'll react when it really is. NowonSA posted:Yeah, I think that's always an interesting scenario when I see it in games and more rarely in other fiction. Like, is it just to take down a guy who is trying to kill all magic users just because one once tried to kill him, knowing that he's less crazy than the guy he replaced and the guy who would replace him is probably going to run the kingdom into the ground? Or to take out a flat out evil ruler who enslaved a bunch of warring tribes, but in doing so brought them some semblance of order and is keeping them from killing each other or spreading out to their neighbors on wild killing sprees? Let me tellyou about "The World of Warcraft", friend.

The guy hasn't really gone exploring too far beyond his home base. It makes sense to feel things out more stealthily because even if it's unlikely, it's completely possible that the guy hanging over the next hill is level 200 and knock out the entire contents of the tomb in less then a sunday afternoon. If he starts a continent wide conquest, if there's anyone bigger then him, they're going to find out. If he's just messing with the guys next door even if someone bigger does exist, they probably won't notice and even if they do they might just not care. It's the same reason he bothered pretending he was the cool edgy black knight instead of just wandering around as a lich. Mordaedil posted:It's not really a video game anymore, it seems to me like it used to be a game and then got transported into someones D&D campaign. I don't think there's any clues at all towards the relationship the game and the new place have. The series ends with it being revealed as a dying dream as he's hanging himself from his doorknob as a result of his game shutting down.
