Thanks for the LP, id. I had seen/read a LP of this ages ago but I forgot basically everything.Robindaybird posted:I think the videos for the other SH LPs got lost to the ether when the video host it was on went kablooey. There's so many video and hybrid LPs that became unusuable due to DailyMotion, Vimeo or some other host dying. It's been interesting seeing the video situation in LP develop over the years. Youtube used to be that one you did begrudgingly so you had a back up because the quality was so low, meanwhile [insert host here] that's the real hotness. but then that host would die, so they'd move to another. And youtube remained in the background. Then this repeats itself as youtube ever so slowly finally becomes a mix of a better overall viewing experience and also the only one left standing DailyMotion, Vimeo, Blip, GameVee, pretty sure there were 2 other big ones at some point.

Viddler was one of them. Google Video also used to be a thing that existed.

Omobono posted:In Tsarist Russia wouldn't you have to punch Rasputin too, for the sake of this argument? Eh, the real Rasputin wasn't so bad. I mean he wasn't so great, but he wasn't so bad. He was just a two bit conman in the wrong place at the wrong time. He got lucky when he gave the Tsarina some decent medical advice about her hemophiliac son (which was pretty much "stop having people poke at him so much and let him heal on his own") and she was so grateful she invited him to live at the palace and he was all 'Sweet! a chance to drink free royal vodka! I'm riding this scam straight to the top!'. He didn't really do much good, but honestly the rumors of the bad he did were greatly exaggerated. He kinda just lay around drinking, telling the tsarina to relax and chill out about her son, and having sex with anyone who offered until he got murdered.

Right, and the ultimate decision lay with the Tsar. Both Germany and Austro-Hungary were partially autocratic but not on the scale of the Russian Empire.

Yeah, poor Nicholas II, he was just SO bad at his job at a time when Russia really could not afford to have a mediocre leader (especially a mediocre military leader).

Geostomp posted:Oh boy. We saved the world just in time for the largest, most brutal war in history to start. Followed by an even bigger sequel in about twenty five years. Yay. Does it??? Is murdering every person on the planet somehow better than letting significantly less people than that die in a war? Simon has the most pedestrian take ever, people mistreating each other is bad, and the only thing he can come up with for a solution is "kill everyone and start over". He doesn't even seem to have any plan on how he's going to create a new perfect humanity after he kills this one!

I’m not saying his plan wasn’t horrendous, just that he had more understanding of the horrors to come than we give him credit for. Like a lot of villains, he had a somewhat accurate view of the problem, but an insane idea of the solution.

i dunno, ww1 caused such ridiculous amounts of human suffering that you could make an argument that euthanizing humanity instead would be preferable.

He's been alive for hundreds of years, if he wasn't an rear end in a top hat maybe he could have spent some of those helping people avoid the Great War instead of throwing Joe Serf under the bus because surprise the ruling authorities punished him for questioning them.

I dont know posted:The best moment in the game is when he gets beaned in the back of the head from rubble. It's such a small touch but it goes a long way to making the character feel rounded. Yeah, that's a pretty fun bit of "well, we just killed off the villain we'd been both building up as a threat while also mocking with Yuri, so now we need to get going on tearing down the next main villain, since we've really only made him threatening" and it happens literally in the first cutscene after Dehuai is defeated. Episode LXXXVI The Dark Id posted:So that'll need to be sorted out every 16 round. Episode LXXXVII The Dark Id posted:a ten-minute chunk of your life you'll never get back. Back such is the dark underbelly of editing an LP.

Pedant Police: Archduke Ferdinand was the heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire at the time of his death. I thought he gave it up to marry his wife, but it looks like that only applied to their kids. Being in line for the throne is 9/10ths of what being a prince is about so I would give them a pass for this one.

However the previous heir, Kronprinz Rudolf, committed suicide with his 17-year-old mistress in 1889.

Legaia 2 is weird to me; I loved the first game, but the second one has like not a goddamn thing to do with it, other than one single enemy who pops up very rarely if at all outside of a required quest and the world still being named the same. It just feels like they slapped the Legaia name on it hoping for brand recognition or something.

Every boss fight is repetitive and it's incredibly tedious.

I would not want to inflict Legaia 2 on him. I mean sure, the Legaia battle system is an interesting concept, but by the end of the game my combos were taking so long to complete I was reading a book during the battles.

I never ended up finishing the first as I ended up underlevelled and with not enough healing items in an area of no return, or least I think I was underlevelled for the final fight with Songi

Part of the reason I love it is, to my young mind at the time, the very idea of the Seru and the whole magic system was cool as gently caress and I loved the poo poo out of it. Mind you, I've always been a fan of Guyver and similar animes, so the whole 'living/sentient armor' bit is an easy way to get my interest  2 replaced it with a generic-rear end 'spirits of the elements' type thing
