Tips?

- Be aware of your surroundings. You never know when someone might flank you.
- Be aware of the objective. Control points, payload, capture the flag. Know what the mission is and don't just run around killing people. I hate sometimes when we're playing a King of the Hill map and we lose because everyone's too busy killing off on the sidelines and not pushing point (this includes myself).
- Be aware of your teammates. Scouts and Spies can get away most often with running behind enemy lines, and Snipers and Engies are great at staying back, but you want to be with your teammates most of the time instead of straying out too far solo. Don't glue yourself to your teammates, but don't just be Leeroy Jenkins. Also, awareness of your teammates can help with catching spies.

Can we just be happy Kofi is (hopefully) alive after that match?

Sure, Kevin had the big ladder fall and was out the rest of the match, but Kofi landed awkwardly on ladders, got awkwardly fallen onto, clipped ladders with his had, got casually tossed of Braun, went spine first into one, was thrown awkwardly onto more, got caught by five competitors only to be crushed by Finn, and was in the middle of a triple accolade!

And Alexa cashing in on Nia like that makes all the sense in the world, and I'm glad we don't need to see her hold onto it for a while like Carmella.

Complete and total sense. Alexa is all about the title over her shoulder. She isn't waiting when she can take it back ASAP.

I actually like how that aspect of her character has been around and consistent ever since she was brought up. She's less Roman and more Miz.

How can you care about a Roman Reigns match when all he does is jump up and punch people and does a running hug on people?

Like I just can't begin to watch him anymore because there is just nothing to his matches. They can have the other guy doing all the moves in the world and add in gimmicks like Sunil in a wheelchair, but you know the second Roman gets offense it's going to be piss boring.

So why care? Why care at all?

I was actually starting to get into it, Jinder had some good offense going. Then as soon as Roman got his Superman Punch, deflation instantly set in.

This scene of Beatrice talking about Battlers sin from six years ago is super interesting once you know the truth. As for Arria, well I think its f***ing with her far more than it f***ed with me. When I first read Umineko I sorta took this scene as well thats something. Alright. Shes feeling more of a f*** you game! I was starting to feel confident I could solve something and now you throw this curve ball at me!

The sin of six years ago wasn't just melting Yasu's heart and never coming back; it was also abandoning his family! Sin fits two ways, =D!

Eerieka posted...

A: Honey, you get the Ushiromiya name from your sire, not your dame!
A: Was this what you were talking about? The obvious solution driving you crazy?
K; Yes. Its so obvious to anyone with a brain, but Battler is so obsessed with being Asumus son that he stopped thinking about the real problem.

Pertinent question towards his sin! It's not just, "Hey, you abandoned me after you promised me to take me away from here. By the way, who's your mom?" It could be, "Hey, Rudolf told me the other night you were my son and alive all this time, and you're just like your father, completely obsessed with Asumu, never giving me a chance to be your mom. You still won't acknowledge me."

Then the Chiesters kill people but I missed who exactly.
K: Who died just now?
A: In order, it was Kanon shot through stomach or chest. Shannon through the temples and Nanjo through the forehead.
K: And whats Krauss doing? Being dead?
A: Oh yeah, he died on the way in. I dont recall if it said how or where. *rechecks* Back of the head.
K: Okay.

Finally reading again, and the same thought as last time comes across a month later. I remember way before the Yasu thing that Kanon had escaped or was culprit or something, but, between the questions ...

I think I just solved Episode 4. Holy ****, how did it take me this long? Episode 4's culprit is Beatrice. Well, Kyrie-trice. Like Eva took the handle of Beatrice in Episode 3 (unless that was Kyrie too?) for solving the epitaph, if Kyrie solved the epitaph, that explains why Kyrie's pulling the elaborate stunts, why Shannon is found dead (iirc, think there were no shenanigans other than Kanon was missing, but if Shannon's body is dead he is dead), and why Beatrice is so concerned with breaking Battler over who is mother is. Of course, she is also hopped up on the white horse thing of Yasu's, but that could just be mocking Rudolf and his son's inheritance of breaking hearts and leaving women dying inside for the men that give them some hope and then ignore them for eternity. It's also why Beatrice is so despondent and drunk at the end, as well as visible to Battler yet out of good sight. Getting despairingly drunk seems out of character for Yasu, but seems like a fine idea for Kyrie.

This also parallels strongly with Asumu's side of Ange's story. It's not just that Kyrie is the new confidant like Eva in 1, Rosa in 2, Natsuhi in 3 (which Eva disrupted). If Kyrie was both the confidant AND inheritor by finding the gold, helps explain why there really were no games or attention to the epitaph, and why everything ramped up so quickly.

Of course, this is just rambling off what comes to mind without a fully formed theory before I continue reading.

But seriously, remembering that Shannon was pretty much facedown in the mud, and knowing about Yasu, she really shouldn't have been the one in the dress at the very end. Maybe the one firing her shotgun at the wall while talking to her son over the phone.

Eerieka posted...

Arria considers that Kinzo has been acting a little different in each episodes, if he appears at all.

Perhaps Kinzo in each episode is also a representation of each confidant's thoughts on him. Episode 1 was a cold, crazy SOB from Eva. Kinzo in 2 was hot and cold like Rosa. I don't remember Kinzo in 3 well enough. Kinzo in 4 is bat**** crazy, which Kyrie probably saw him as (especially compared to her awful family who seem much more strict on being crazy evil wealthy mafia).

2. Beat a game released between 1990-1999

Terranigma

- Wow, what an experience. I remember having a great time with this despite having never beaten it before, but damn, I was shocked by how much I did not enjoy this game.

First, let me start off by saying Illusion of Gaia is one of my favorite games and I really enjoyed Soul Blazer. I was browsing reviews as I was between a bit of grinding earlier, and the 11th post in this topic (archived, can't quote: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/588784-terranigma/75664582 ) sums up a lot of my feelings. Soul Blazer does the resurrection of the world much better despite its clunky combat, and Illusion of Gaia is just a beautiful game visually and audibly even when the story seems to falter sometimes (though nearly every place on the map has at least one hugely emotional and memorable moment).

This was... a mess. The translation's partly to blame, for certain, but my god, there is so much wrong in this game.

- Magic is pretty much useless. I attempted multiple plays over a decade ago, and no matter how far I got, I never used Magirock because I didn't at all understand the mechanics of it. Knowing now how Magirock is just a resource, I attempted to use it and it just sucks. Animations go on forever and half the time it doesn't even work, and if it does, it does crap for damage. Plus the ring box takes up your equip slot and navigating the ring menu is just bad.

- The story and gameplay are massively underwhelming. The first bit of the game is still memorable and still a favorite. You learn the attacks, you solve some puzzles, you fight some enemies, you get a taste of what the game could be like in this crystal underground lava world. Halfway through the game, the puzzles are completely unintuitive, the attacks haven't changed and run-jumps are pretty much cake to kill things with, and characters are annoyances more than welcomed. Not to mention all the crap like slow ass escort quests, horribly pathed watchguards that almost require something with save states, constantly reused dungeons, and the story comes at you all at once way at the end of everything.

- The twist was cool, but executed pretty terribly... along with s u p e r s l o w a s s d i a l o g u e.

- I knew playing FFX that the final boss is cake if you're overlevelled even an itty bit. I did not expect 5 points of strength in Terranigma to mean such a difference. At Level 30, I fought the final boss and was only doing 2-8 damage at a time, feeling lucky if I cracked a critical 24 points. I died often. I then set out to find monsters to level up on (which was somewhat difficult considering the two or three dungeon right before were inaccessibleimmediately after). After about ten minutes, I went back to the boss at L32.

My hits were nowanywhere from 11-48 and my crits were in the 100s. The final boss took only about two minutes to beat. That's just... insane.

I do not recommend.

LEGO Lord of the Rings

- 43.7% complete, lots of stuff still to collect. It was fun. I really enjoyed some of the levels and the nostalgia hit so hard when I first opened it up that I couldn't play (oh how I miss LOTRO). Came around, though, and got through a pretty good game. Loved hearing the movie voices throughout and that amazing score. Really fun ride.

#56 - Kairi Sane Nominated by: Tom Bombadil

As you're all well aware, I don't have much experience with the independent women's wrestling scene. I say that to point out that all of my Kairi Sane experience comes from her work in NXT, AND SHE STILL RATES THIS HIGHLY.

Kairi Sane's every facial expression, every move, every mannerism, shouldn't impress me like it does. She's taken a 1993-career-as-a-gimmick and turned it into this exquisite role that seems beyond cosplay but less than a legitimate career. She has a grace in her every movement and a certain serenity to her character when she isn't fighting. Her wide-eyed enthusiasm is infectious. And when she gets in the ring, she strikes like a young child possessed with righteous fury. Her little toy soldier march to the corner of the ring gets a chuckle out of me while at the same time primes me for some hard-hitting beatdown. Her moves look sharp and painful even though she has such a small frame. She makes Alexa Bliss' five feet of fury look like 60 inches of slovenly shit. Instead, Kairi makes her five feet into a torpedo that whips around the ring before destroying opponents with the greatest elbow I've ever seen.

Kairi has quickly become one of my favorite parts of WWE, and I can't wait to see where she goes next in NXT. It's hard to quantify exactly what makes her so fundamentally fascinating to me, but she possesses this undeniable charisma that so few women in wrestling ever display. And that ranks her #4 on this list's women.

Her elbow is so good. I was cheering during the Women's Rumble when she started going to the top rope, telling all my friends to sit up and pay attention since they didn't watch Mae Young or her NXT stuff. They were also thoroughly impressed.

- Another at-work Kongregate game, this was pretty good for a pseudo-idle RPG. Basically, you fight monsters, gains tats and items, go back and fight some more, and there's some strategy with skill selection to figure out how best to defeat harder levels. It's still pretty short (started about an hour or two ago?), but a good time.

A US judge who was widely criticised for his leniency towards a campus rapist has been removed from office by voters.

"Such elections are rare - the last time a US judge was recalled was in 1977.

Tuesday's vote in Santa Clara County marks the first time a Californian judge has been removed in this way for more than 80 years."

Turner, 20 at the time, was seen by two other students sexually assaulting his victim behind a rubbish bin outdoors in January 2015.

The trial heard how the victim, then 22, was intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness after attending a party on campus.

In March 2016, Turner was found guilty of three felony charges and faced up to 14 years in prison. Prosecutors had asked for a six-year term.

But he was handed the much shorter six-month sentence and three years probation after Judge Persky expressed concern about the impact prison would have on him.

He cited the Turner's age, lack of criminal record and the fact that both the perpetrator and the victim were intoxicated. "
