My favorite use of Raindrops is in the Halo 3 ads where they used it to make Master Chief teabagging his way through the galaxy more poignant.

I just checked the Japanese version and the whole (still silent) text played over the initial picture of the archway, so they definitely used the extra localisation time well.

So about the koala dragon butterfly shark.

When you beat it you got two levels? I think you might have been underleveled for that part of the game...

Hahaha I just noticed the thread title. "Frederic Chopin's Powerpoint Nightmare".

Yeah, those sequences are very bizarre and completely out of nowhere.

Both were 55 exp from leveling up in an area where most individual monsters give 25 exp (shadow onions giving 65). The boss gave 1500. The one or two extra fights to tip the level might've helped, but it probably would've just saved a peach cookie or two

I honestly think the school presentations are some of the better pieces of narrative from the game. It helps that it's completely irrelevant to the plot of the game and really is just historical tidbits of freddy chopper.

The typical British definition of a biscuit is a dry and crisp/hard bread in thin, flat pieces, made without raising agents. Jaffa cakes are definitely raised, and not dry, crisp, flat, or hard. So they're absolutely cakes, and not biscuits/cookies. :spergin:

Don't forget - cakes dry out whereas cookies get soft as they grow stale. :eng101: :spergin:

Entropy is a bitch!

But Jaffa Cakes are coated in chocolate, which helps offset the drying out. And, undoubtedly, 98% made of a blend of military-grade preservatives, powdered mineral ore, and reticulated deer spline.

The streetfood in Camden is pretty good.

Thread contest!

We're gonna have some good old fashioned viewer participation. Every so often, an update will be accompanied by a little challenge, which will award Eterno-points to those who participate. At the end of the thread, whoever has the most points will win a cool prize. There will also be a prize for second place, as well as a special prize, the winning condition for which is a secret.

The first challenge is fan-art! As we all know, everyone's favorite party member Beat is a skilled wildlife photographer, with a wide and varied portfolio. I would like you to draw what you think might be the photograph that he likes best out of all the photos he's taken. Doesn't have to be anything we've seen in the game! It could be literally anything you can imagine. Points won't necessarily be deducted for being a bad artist (i can barely draw a stick figure and am in no place to point fingers), but bonus points may be awarded if I am totally blown away.

I'll figure out exactly how to award points once I see how many entries pop up. Also, disclaimer: If we only get, like, 1½ entries per challenge, I reserve the right to nix the whole contest-thing. It's no fun if it's not at least close to a real competition!

Trt is Japanese for magic, it's just whoever changed the stats screen forgot to change the level up screen. It stands for 'Trusty', of course. As in Eternal Sonata (トラスティベル 〜ショパンの夢〜 Torasuti Beru ~Shopan no Yume~, Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream), I guess.

I just started watching this and I just wanted to say: I've already totally filtered Polka out and thanks to her name, am envisioning Weird Al Yankovic as taking her place in everything.

This works because I'm pretty sure Weird Al also wears exactly the same clothes he did as a child but fitted for an adult

Yes! School is currently kicking my rear end (2 weeks to do a project that should by all rights take a month and a half, woo), so I don't have too much time to devote to LP. I hope to have an update up sometime next week, fingers crossed.

Thanks for the entries so far! I'm keeping it open for a lil' bit longer, just in case someone else wants to jump in as well.

A couple days later than I said, but man... exams hard, you guys! I'm doing a lot of schoolwork right now, and that's gonna continue on until Dec. 7th. After that, I'll have oodles of free time.

For now though, update!



Also, contest! I'm gonna call the end of the first round now.

Of the three entries, I'm giving first prize and 4 EternoBux to BravestOfTheLamps for this stirring MS Paint rendition of Goat Messiah heading home to ask his dad if he can borrow the car:



Second prize, and 2 Premium golden coins only $2.99 goes to Moskau for some unsettling spirit photography:



And bronze goes to Lockmat for pasting in some saucy thing they found on google maps (:nws:, possibly) on top of a screencap from one of the LP updates. In the spirit of things, I decided on an alternative way to dole out points for this one: I looked intensely at the horribly lewd image, dropped trou, and measured the ol' goatsnack, and Lockmat's points will be decided by what the measuring tape said. Thusly, you get 1½ Sexbangs.

Viola's trick is she does more damage the further away she is from enemies. However her early special moves are close range or healing which is not as great when you're trying to land big hits with her. Also they're not terminally ill, they're just about to die is all. :P
