Boy, you guys, I got disappointed by Alien: Isolation. I was expecting Amnesia with Alien, even brought it to a horror night with friends.

The first half hour was nothing and the next was a shitty stealth game avoiding HUMANS.

We gave up after that.

I STILL haven't seen the Alien once!

And the game had nauseating motion blur whenever I turned the camera.

:(

I wonder what Pat and the others will have to say about it.

Wow.

Quick questions, how do you guys feel about rescue arcs in story/ Anime, Manga?

An arc trying to save a character you as the viewer knows and what not.
 
Back in my day Rick Nash played for the Columbus Blue Jackets and Steve Mason was actually a good goalie.

My hockey knowledge only runs from 2007-2008 on, when Jaromir Jagr was a Ranger and Sean Avery fucked shit up in the League.

Prince Nazen and Phil the Thrill putting up some points up.
I have nickmames for everyone[/spoiler
Add J'ver to that list
Dammit I'm salty about that shorthand goal off our own Powerplay...

They usually suck. Even Gurren Lagann's Nia rescue arc was the worst of the 4 arcs. Same with HunterXHunter's Killua rescue arc.

Enies Lobby in One Piece was pretty amazing. I liked the arc where they rescue Lucy from her dad towards the start of Fairy Tail, too.

I think the only one I liked was Berserk's saving
Griffith
part and that was only because of all the foreshadowing for the serious shit that would go down because of it
 
hot damn, your Rangers aren't doing so good right now. Still a period to go though.

Don't remind me. I'm texting another Rangers fan friend of mine. He reminds me of how bad the Rangers are on the PP. I struggle to see how this team was the same team that went to the Cup Finals.

Yes, that is what you saw.
Papa Gendo will explain everything soon.
 
I missed most of school last week because of reasons. I was bummed about having to go to my Monday class before I remembered it was Columbus day. Then I read on the school's site that classes were still scheduled. I then got sad.

Lucky you. I have to go into work tomorrow. Columbus Day isn't a day we get off, since Rosh Hashanah and Yum Kippur are observed in our office.

It's our fall break we usually get a week off I think so I go back home, and sometimes visit one of my best friends, but I might not be able to do that. but it'll be a nice break for me still.

I'm sorry that sucks. I hate when that happens to me too so I understand.

Ah I've had to deal with watching the Canucks slowly rotting from the inside since that whole playoff finals defeat and riots and everything, I know what it's like

Columbus Day is the worst holiday. "Let's celebrate this Columbus guy. Oh, what did he do? He wasn't the first European to discover America, didn't know he was on a new continent, and enslaved the Natives."
 
Alright, I unlocked Boss Elizabeth...
This chick is just unapologetically broken. Unlimited SP. A move that instanly recovers her health to full. No debuffs, besides a couple of her moves cause you to bounce too far to combo maybe.. Edit: All her one hit kill moves are now instant as well.
Even among the super buffed boss characters, she's god tier. Invincible.
If there's a way to beat her, I'm all ears.

But he is just a nameless ninja. You should't fall in love with him!

This is all just reminding me I still haven't seen the live action version... Where the hell do you get your hands on it, I wonder?

Crunchyroll has GTO and I have been watching it there instead of my local Japanese drama store.

I have a very special dark place in my heart for Columbus. He justified his acts in the name of the Catholic Church because he thought the Tainos were cannibals. That didn't stop the thousands of Spanish men in Hispanola from raping the female natives and cutting The hands off of thieves who stole back their own gold.

Don't get me started on Columbus. It's a popular feast holiday in NYC and knowing what those people are celebrating makes me bitter.

Having Spaniard blood and Native blood in my lineage only adds to that bitterness.
 
NGE episode 13? Yeah 13
wow an episode where the main cast does absolutely nothing except get nekid. An episode basically all about Ritsuko and her scientist ways i liked it also nanomachines. So its obvious that unit 01 is improtant since Gendo was ok with giving up the other 2 eva but not giving up 01.
 
I'm not Positve I know what you mean, but I was talking specifically about her hama and mudo supers, not her IK.

I'm mean that you could use your IK on some of the moves that aren't safe unless they improve to frames on her boss mode. I always thought that her hama and mudo supers needed to be not guarded for it to work, so I never used it.

You can do extremely long combos into them, but they're pretty garbage, unlike Naoto/Shadow Naoto's. Shadow Naoto can shadow frenzy, chain supers and remove all your skull counts, then uses Hama and does a 50/50 mixup. Guess wrong, you're dead.

God damn it. God damn it god damn it god damn it.

Literally 5 minutes into my 2nd session of Alien: Isolation and I get the first Alien encounter, and boy was it worth the wait.

And the motion blur was a problem from my friend's TV, mine was fine.
 
NGE episode 14
ok so the first half of the episode was a recap of the first 13 episodes, i guess thats appropriate since theres only 10 episodes left of the series along with a movie. Then everything after that things start getting real with the inner monologue from Rei then having Unit 00 go out of control and apparently try to kill Ritsuko? Or Rei? I dunno and the lance of loginus what ever that is and Adam is still a mystery so im guessing this is where the series starts getting nuts?

It just gets better from there on out.
 
Went ahead and bit the bullet. Started playing Alien Isolation.

You know, that first hour is exactly what I like. Nothing constantly trying to get in my face and scare me. Just atmosphere. It's glorious.

From what I saw from Giant Bomb's quick look, there's a lot of great things about it, but its definitely a flawed product. I appreciate the oldschool survivor horror elements, but some of it is more annoying then it is horrifying. Its definitely the best alien game ever though.

The stuff about the length is what worries me the most. I normally would be one to savor a game that lasts longer than ten hours, but how this game handles it seems a bit dumb.
 
Leafs won 6-3 :)

GTO Eps2:
Man that last scene, holy shit what the fuck man thats some hardcore porn right there.

I love this show.

Read the manga after the anime. I has some arcs that the anime skips and goes past the anime like 3/4ths in. Also I heard good things from the live-action adaptation.
 
Ds1 update:

Fuck you Sen and fuck your shitty fortress. I hate those shitty mimics!
Mimics are super easy to spot tho

NGE episode 15
wow that ending, i thought Adam was a tiny little fossil in a box that last minute just brought up so many more questions, i thought this episode was just going to be a character development episode which most of it was. With Shinji and Gendo actually talking and Misatos daddy issues. Also i was super/ sure that Asuka was just gonna blue ball Shinji but i was mistaken
 
Man I will be able to consistantly do Yukari's 5AAA 214A bnb one day and you will all be owned by my m4d skillz online.

In the meanwhile, anyone down for ultimax?
