    Interesting, thanks for the translation Luneth, I had heard it was going to be split into a Future arc and a Despair arc already, but it's cool to know what was being said, like the Ultimate Housekeeper stuff
    The anime cast is looking nice, I hope we get to see the cast of Danganronpa V3 soon

    Dangan Ronpa 3 got a trailer. 
    from 3:03: the first 3 minutes are summaries of the first two games. This is really rough, I'm going to type as I listen.
    The Future Foundation, formed of former Hope's Peak Academy students desiring to reclaim the former world.
    Hope kills hope.
    In 2016, the curtain opens on a new death game. The final chapter of the Hope's Peak Academy series, Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy: Future, broadcast starting in July
    4:00
    Wait, you're saying we forgot something? We haven't talked about the most important thing? Why did these students fall to despair?
    This is the other Danganronpa 3 -- the story that leads to The Worst Event in Human History. Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy: Despair -- production confirmed!
    Wait, who am I? I used to be the ultimate housekeeper!
     

    DR3 seems to be another killing game, and this is the cast they revealed. Now to think who's going to be prey and who will be predators.

    Berserk PV 2 is out, and it has the new Susumu Hirasawa track on it

    New PV for the Danganronpa 3 anime is out, I highly recommend not watching the PV if you haven't played Danganronpa 1 and 2, it visually spoils so much of the games.

    I've been looking for people to play it with again. I can't really explain why I enjoy it so much, but I'm just so fond of it. I've been playing with neato mods like FrackinUniverse and the Hylian Weapons mods, since they add a gross amount of content (FrackinUniverse nearly adds an entirely new game to it.)

    Me Saha and kaffles played it for a while actually. Then kaffles got bored and started CHEATING

    Review: Starbound for the PC.
    The original game was a surprise hit when it first blasted its way onto screens a while back.
    Screw the establishment, man! Oversized publishers that don't move with the times are so old hat. The cool way to publish games is to be a lean operation of a couple of guys who haven't been able to afford a YCMA shower in a week who release games like Starbound for almost free and grow beards and hang out at coffee shops and have documentaries made about them. Fight the power, unless they don't give me a freebie review code, in which case they're a bunch of pompous asses.

    You already know what to expect from Starbound after the last game in the series, and Indie doesn't disappoint. There's some new stuff, some irratiting bugs have been ironed out, and a new storyline bolted on to make everything look welcoming for newcomers.
    Pew! Pew! Pew! The aliens are back to cause havok for you and everyone you love. So it's time for you to get your spaceship and blast 'em all out of the sky. Do you have what it takes to zap the high scores and joystick all the video game nasties.
     
     
    Starbound tries to seperate itself from the pack with interesting features. Everything moves so super fast with the technical miracle that is Blast Processing! It's so super cool and bodacious, man! It got so crazy that my PC exploded which means it's good, right?

    Co-op features heavily in the game, but it's a shame there's no support for 64 players at once on the same couch.

    The graphics are a mixed bag. Some things look really nice and the frame rate is a solid 54 frames per second. 
    With a bit more time, or if the game came out a year ago, it would have been easy to forgive the retro style's faultings.
    Being a 2D game, the hardware capabilities of your PC aren't exactly being pushed to the limit.Purists may point out that the 16-bit games Starbound is trying to emulate didn't look this good, but it's a minor problem.
    Performance is best on a ATI system, and you'll need at least a 8800 card to be able to run the game at the now-standard 512 by 1782 resolution with full AA and trilinear mimap interpolation. It's another feather in the PC gaming's cap. Being a PC exclusive game, no compromises were made in making this game with full support for all the latest keyboards and pedals and Oculus Rifts and such and such.
    Highly recommended for Adventure fans and anyone who's after a good time.
     
    Overall Score: 6 / 10

    I only started relatively recently on the Glad Giraffe update, so I'm not sure what would have been changed.


  9. SilverAlchemic added a post in a topic Starbound   

    It's very fun, but I've fallen out of playing it. How are the most recent updates?


  10. Cassandra added a topic in Video Games   

    Starbound
    Has anyone here played Starbound? It came out in 2013, and has been in Early Access on Steam for a bit. I guess the best way to sum it up is this:
    Space Terraria.

    I dunno. There's just too much about XY that feels all wrong. The boring, repetitive, bland, unmemorable, and oftentimes unfitting music, linear routes that lack any obstacles and easily avoidable trainers, really terrible and uninteresting lore, boring rivals (as well as too many rivals), gimmicks that added nothing to the game (Trainer PR videos being a good example), features that WOULD have added a LOT to the game but were cut or abridged for whatever reason (riding Pokemon was limited to only certain areas and didn't really do anything but make you move slow), features from previous games that should have been kept missing (the extra bag slot for BW/2 that you could put ANY ITEM into that functioned as a nice place to put often used items, and even though BW made this mistake first, taking out the Running Shoes toggle was annnoying, the camera angle that allows you to see the entirety of an area as soon as you enter it, making it too easy to navigate (Previous games were more top-down, allowing you to get lost in caves or forests), cities that are TOO easy to get lost in  (LUMIOSE CITY IS SO POORLY DESIGNED, GETTING LOST IN A CITY IS FINE, BUT THIS IS A MONSTROSITY MAN).
    One of the things I hate the most is the routes. Nearly every route in the early game is the same exact thing: A single, linear road with maybe a handful of trainers on it, with the tall grass being out of the way and not obstructing you at all. THE FIRST ROUTE ON THE GAME IS A STRAIGHT LINE. YOU LEAVE VANIVILLE TOWN AND THE DOOR SWINGS OPEN AND YOU CAN JUST SEE THE NEXT TOWN. It's just asinine that they would design it that way, it's like the game is telling you it was streamlined.
    Another annoying thing is how Mewtwo was introduced. One of the most powerful Pokemon in the entire series, this bio-engineered psychic killing machine was given no buildup, presence, nothing. He was just in a cave in a flower field for.... reasons? He was presented so poorly, it's just infuriating, like they didn't even try.
    XY was just such a disappointment for me. It took all the adventure feel that the previous games had to offer and took them away from you, took the challenge away from you, took the FUN away from you. There's just so little love put into XY, and it feels like nobody really cared about this game. What a letdown.


  12. Young Link Addict added a post in a topic Talk   

    I liked X. It just had a disappointing after game.
    Black and Black 2 was good. Not my favorite, but it helped me get back into Pokemon after I stopped playing it. I was afraid I wasn't going to like it, but both of them were good.
    Diamond I didn't really like. The story was meh, the Pokemon were meh, the world was meh, and the Poketch was meh. The underground might've been fun if I had people to play with, but alas, that was not the case.
    Sapphire were great. I remember playing it in 5th grade during recess. It took me almost a month of 30 minute recess breaks to beat Wallace. His Milotic would slaughter my whole team.
    I never really liked Gold when it first came out. I remember playing it and being like, "It's okay, but it's not Red." I didn't really enjoy it until I played through Heart Gold. I had a blast with it then.
    Red was my first Pokemon game and the one I'm most nostalgic about. However, I never beat it because I like 2 or 3 when I got it so like most kids I only raised one Pokemon to a high level then kept losing.
    Yellow, even though part of Red and Blue, was a different experience altogether. I wasn't any better at it by the time I got it, but I remember loving it for the sheer fact that it was like in the anime where you could get all three starters and I thought that was pretty cool.


  13. Teto added a post in a topic Talk   

    I really enjoyed X&Y. It was bubblegum though. It was easy and fun to blast through, but you could beat it so mindlessly that it feels redundant to go back. I sold it and don't feel like I'll ever care that I can't go back. Once the main objective of the game was fulfilled, I was done.
    Black & White is the only generation I could never get through. I kept getting to route 4 and stop caring. I just wasn't interested in what came next, and the city seemed to crash my momentum. Stepping back out into the wilderness to get back onto the road to nowhere, I just didn't care. All 3 times I played it, I got to that stage and bailed. It didn't stay fresh for long.
    Pearl & Diamond was back in high school, so I had friends who were playing it. I don't remember it very well, but I did enjoy it. I mostly remember hanging out with people exploring that underground part of the game.
    Ruby & Sapphire was my peak experience, preceded with the hype of people on the school bus prodding at promo pictures of Latias and Latios in magazines. I remember having an anxiety dream about not being able to play it because I still only had a GB Color.
    I feel like I was bought Gold while I was in Ireland. There was definitely something about staying in youth hostels with my family and some family friends, and someone getting their head stuck between the wooden panels of a bunk bed. I must have bugged my parents about Crystal a lot, because they gave it to me early on Christmas. I remember being on a boat, again just travelling somewhere with some family and friend group, hearing that you could play as a girl in it, and thinking "why didn't they do that already?"
    I wish I could remember that far back. I just must have not been paying much attention, or else it's common to not remember much of being that age, whatever I was. Like 8.
    Pokemon Yellow I have vague memories of. Getting it with a Game Boy Color for some Christmas or another. I get some deep nostalgic feeling thinking about the title screen, almost too distant to grasp. I got them both at once, and it was the only game I had for it, that I remember. 
    I guess I would have been 6-8 for Yellow, and maybe Gold.

    I have an almost obsessive hatred for Pokemon XY. Every time I take a shower, go for a walk, get ready for bed, all I can think about is how much it let me down. Sned hepl.

    I just watched all of Steven Universe in like 5 days. I liked it way more than I thought I would when I saw the first episode 2 or 3 years ago. Now I can't wait for the new episode. >_<

    I'm really excited. I'm getting Twilight Princess HD today. I had my parents go grab it for me since they were already out. I'm really excited.


  20. Young Link Addict added a post in a topic MARCH, WHO UP?!?!   

    The hardest part is trying to create continuity and having it make sense. Since most stuff from book 2 happened because of book 1, I'll need to think of why it's that way altogether.

    I played a bard in my first DnD group, which was a lot of fun because I brought my mandolin and plucked out songs on it. Honestly, though, I much prefer playing a rogue, though not one that is stereotypically opposed to the party's goals. My favorite was a rogue named Kole who believed himself to be a Kolyarut and cared greatly about the social contract between the government and the people and stole books more often than anything else. 


  22. Shadowknight added a post in a topic Talk   

    That's great! I love stores that source their products locally. There was a butcher shop in the town where I did my undergrad that had the best cuts of meat I'd ever seen. 


  23. Cassandra added a post in a topic Talk   

    Yo this store is sick. It's built into a really nice shopping mall, and it's got a really nice cafe, a great deli and produce section where everything is locally grown and the meat is sliced fresh daily.


  24. Cassandra added a post in a topic Talk   

    I am happy to say I've finally gotten a job at a grocery store deli. I should be working by Friday.

    Speaking tabletop; so far, basic fighter, ranger, or barbarian. Not an immediate fan of the combat part of DnD, but with my current ranger wood elf character, I might come around, as I go through spells and feats and learn how to use them effectively. I like the idea of having a varied character, but I often don't have the patience to be that tactical.
