Hi Clydes, good to see you guys again.

...well, at least SAO is better than this China, IL. commercial.

 

[Shard]

CLYDES, SAVE US FROM THE GREAT EVIL NAMED SAO!

 

[BassForever]

Why is Kirito suddenly a total noob?

He didn't play the beta of this game, was too busy being a beater in SAO

 

[Schadenfreude]

Can't trust them dirty Spriggans. So lazy.

 

[Jafku]

That's good ole fashion gaming racism.

Oh good, we already have the fantastical racism angle going.

People take fictional racism seriously.

Sword Art Online is the first anime in years to actually have something to say.

 

[Chaotic-Strike]

This is what Activision thinks gamers are like.

 

[Shard]

Seriously, he can't place that voice at all, at all?

 

[789shadow]

Can't trust them dirty Spriggans. So lazy.

Those fucking Spriggans, always popping out of trees to attack the Dragonborn.

 

[BassForever]

Kirito would pick the worst race for his play style lol

 

[SousedLouse]

Always stealing treasure and being mysterious. Those dirty Sprigs.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

well so far the episode's pretty inoffensive

 

[heliosRAzi]

Those fucking Spriggans, always popping out of trees to attack the Dragonborn.

My sprigga!

 

[Schadenfreude]

Couldn't get a good view of the Backstory.

 

[BatDan]

Yeah, this is just boring.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

I know him IRL.

 

[Shard]

well so far the episode's pretty inoffensive

We just got jinxed.

 

[BassForever]

It's not like I like him or anything baka

 

[MetatronM]

Has ANYTHING happened in this episode? Seriously.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Nobody likes a shipper, Kirito.

 

[Tenumi]

Can't be in love with that guy, she's met Kirito. He oozes charm.

...or some other substance.

 

[Man God]

Has ANYTHING happened in this episode? Seriously.

PLOT.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

well so far the episode's pretty inoffensive

That's what a bunch of episodes make you think. Then they pull the rug right out from under you.

 

[BatDan]

Oberon? He sucks in Persona!

 

[Shard]

Good to know the creator is a lazy asshole who recycles his game design ideas.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

so what you're telling me is that everyone is going to make a new character as part of that race, right?

 

[foxuzamaki]

Did she say alice? because this is some rozen maiden shit here.

 

[BassForever]

You gotta beat the super powerful NPCs

 

[Branduil]

Alf Master Race.

 

[MetatronM]

....That's a fucking stupid game mechanic. Why would anybody but the Alfs keep playing after that happens?

 

[Moaradin]

Honestly this episode isn't bad setup for a new game.

 

[Zonic]

GEE GUYS, MAYBE IF THEY WORK TOGETHER AND PLACE ASIDE THEIR PREJUDICE, THEY'LL BEAT THE GAME.

SYMBOLISM!!!

 

[Beelzeboss]

Maybe it was missing one key player.

that has the power of love or something

 

[Amikami]

This world isn't as interesting as SAO. Regardless of the bad execution, I thought the SAO concept of beating the game to save your life was good. There's nothing really on the line, besides Asuna.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Wait what? The game started while SAO was still going on? Who greenlit this and then bought it?

 

[ReiGun]

So...it's like SAO.

Also, you have to work together to best but only one race gets the reward? What kind of shitty game design is this?

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Yeah why would you help another race? Stupid....

 

[Tenumi]

How convenient, absolutely nothing has happened in the game before Kirito joined.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

You know what that means, Kirito.

Power Leveling!
Or rare quest.

 

[thetechkid]

Theres a Nier joke in there somewhere.

 

[Shard]

Oh god, this is going to take 2 more fucking years.

 

[BassForever]

The fairy goes dad...dy?

 

[ckohler]

Every time she says "daddy"... Ugh.

 

[Man God]

....That's a fucking stupid game mechanic. Why would anybody but the Alfs keep playing after that happens?

SWG actually did this and it...worked out pretty well until they changed it.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Going fast makes me feel alive

My heart beats

In hyper drive

 

[Moaradin]

This world isn't as interesting as SAO. Regardless of the bad execution, I thought the SAO concept of beating the game to save your life was good. There's nothing really on the line, besides Asuna.

The stakes are obviously not as high, but magic fairy game is more interesting than generic fantasy game to me.

 

[heliosRAzi]

That's a big reason why the second half sucks aside from the virtual bone and incest

 

[BatDan]

"Wow Kirito, your sad eyes remind me of cousin Kauzto."

 

[Schadenfreude]

Kirito don't give a fuck.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

The fairy goes dad...dy?

It's that same little girl back in SAO.

yeah. It's weird.
