    I completely agree. I'm super excited and the game looks great. Just wish we had a release date.

    I'm unbelievably excited. It's been a rough year, and I've been more stressed out than I realized, but seeing this video calmed my fried nerves. There's a lot of cool stuff that you can see in other videos, so it's just getting better by the minute.

    The Big Ol' Video Game Music-Guessing Contest #1!
    Hey, yo. I know this forum is dead and all, but if you see this message, you're alive. Congratulations!
     
    I'm running a video game music guessing contest, cross-site. Probably 30 songs, with scoring and a prize, possibly prizes. Song clips will be 30 seconds in length, and will range in difficulty. It will not be an active participation game, like Werewolf or the old trivia games, so keeping up activity won't be an issue.
    Let me know you're interested in this thread, through PMs, or in the Hnet IRC chat, which is alive and well, and a good place to pick up hot singles for only 99 cents per minute.

    Metal Gear Pachinko
    When Kojima left Konami, we could only assume what Konami would do with the Metal Gear IP. Now our worst fears are realized. A weapon to surpass Metal Gear has been born.

    Thanks! Because I took a one-week intensive last week (9AM-5PM every day for a graduate-level course), I haven't gotten to write as much as I hoped this month. I'm at ~40K words, which is the length of a short novel in some genres, and I'm not quite halfway through the plot. I'm hoping to end around 100K, and I'm hoping to finish my first draft by August so that I can work on editing and the such for the rest of the year.
    It's been interesting to write, for sure. When the narrator leaves the castle for the first time, it's really a turning point for everything. The castle where he was held makes it seem like the kingdom is repressive and bleak, but remnants of native customs and a unique appreciation for the supernatural permeate each town they pass through. Honestly, it's kind of cool seeing the story take on a life of its own.

    Yeah, it's surreal. Used to have a big ego about how much anime I'd watched. It's not that I've replaced it with anything though, like movies, books, manga, or television. I just do Youtube a lot lately, although that's slowing down for me in the past couple weeks. Might go back to reading.
  11. Ryu added a post in a topic Discuss Anime and Mang   

    It makes me especially sad cause I know that anime such as Attack on Titan Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works, etc., etc. are all great, or at least known as such, yet I have no desire at all to even try and watch them.
  12. Teto added a post in a topic Discuss Anime and Mang   

    Same boat in regards to going off of anime. I've tried it lately, watching along with JoJo part 4, but I don't have the same enthusiasm I used to. It eventually started to blend together, and I felt like I was done with it. I might go back again sometime with a fresh perspective to finally finish JoJo part 3 and Attack on Titan. Maybe. It feels kind of bad to be outside of other peoples' conversations about anime now that I've been out of the game so long. I used to banter with the best, now I'm silent with the rest. It's a tragic development, but maybe this is just part of my larger weeb story. 
  13. Ryu added a post in a topic Zelda Wii U Discussion!   

    Only now it's been pushed to the end of 2017, does this mean we are getting the One Zelda to Rule Them All?
     
    I hope the NX isn't a garbage gimmick system like WiiU. Fun as hell but when it sells that poorly it makes developers ignore it, which means less games and even less sales, and much less people playing. Maybe having a decent lineup and Zelda as a launch title will bring Nintendo out of their Dark World.
    Not sorry about the terrible puns, but I am done.
     
    If the dynamic open world they're making is anything at all similar to that of The Witcher 3 I will be a very happy Zelda fan. It'll be interesting to see how this new game feels compared to the extremely linear Skyward Sword.
  14. Ryu added a post in a topic Discuss Anime and Mang   

    I have trouble fitting in with other fans of anime cause I watch maybe 1-2 new series a year. Instead I rewatch favorites until they make me sick, then I do it again.
    Though I occasionally binge a new series on a whim, and most of those turn out okay. Kill La Kill was dope, definitely no regrets there.
    How does Dragon Ball Super compare to the original manga? I want to watch it just for the new canon content, but I despise Goku's Japanese voice actor. Love the lady, hate her voice.
  15. Ryu added a post in a topic Talk   

    That sounds incredibly dope, actually. Most fantasy novels have the narrator in the midst of the world's fantastical goings-ons, either following the main character or personifying them. I'd read it.
  16. Ryu added a post in a topic Why do people hate Link's companions so much?   

    Hmm. Well I've always seen Zelda games as very lonely and sometimes even depressing. A cheerful character that's always ready to help you out eases that sense of loneliness a bit, but the only companions I've ever liked were Midna and Navi. Fi I guess wasn't too bad, though she was annoying at first. 
    It's easy to see why some don't like them, *cough*Knuckle makes a good point*cough* but I've always seen the companions as an integral part of the game. It wouldn't feel like Zelda if someone wasn't bothering you every so often with: "Remember how you're saving the world?! Get to it!"
    That being said, I'd totally be fine with Zelda WiiU/NX not having a companion type character.
  17. Ryu added a post in a topic What games are you playing currently?   

    Been playing The Witcher 3. Just bought the second DLC expansion so that's cool. Can't wait til the 31st!
  18. Luneth Uchiha added a post in a topic Dangan Ronpa   

    Looking at the teaser pic a bit more. The girl kinda looks like the love child of Makoto and Kyoko. Dunno though. We should be getting more info soon since the anime starts up in july.

     
    also to edit; they are apparently also remaking the trials of Dangan Ronpa 1 for Playstation VR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rvl95iitb1g
    Subsubnote: After seeing the trainwreck of the funimation dub, I'm kinda scared what they'll do to Dangan Ronpa 3. 
  19. Cassandra added a post in a topic What is your most recent purchase?   

    I've been getting into MtG kinda. I got a couple decks and cards, but I just don't have time to play. I've also been keeping up on the Monthly Mythical Pokemon pins that come with the TCG.
  20. SilverAlchemic added a post in a topic What is your most recent purchase?   

    I bought Hotline Miami last night. My body has been 70% salt ever since.
  21. Shadowknight added a post in a topic What is your most recent purchase?   

    I just spent a month's pay on my bill for 3 hours of school this Summer! Seminary is so expensive, which seems so wrong to me. Pastors don't make that much money!
  22. Shadowknight added a post in a topic Talk   

    I'm 25k words into this fantasy novel that I'm writing, and I'm realizing that it's different than anything I've read. Like, it's a world where magic and monsters exist, yet the narrator has been trapped as a slave in a castle where magic is banned so far. It's anything but boring, in my opinion, and there has been plenty of action (bloody action, political intrigue, some Lovecraftian tales), but there has been very little fighting. 
    That is about to change, since I'm sending the main character on a quest, but I may end up having to rewrite some early chapters to increase the excitement a little.

    There have been some meetups that I think are important
     
    by which I mean I think we should write down all the meetups I've had with hnet members and treat them as important events.

    It's been 5 years since anything happened of weight on this forum. Strange seeing posts from Padraig which I never read til now. Looking at this thread is like its written in stone.
