Playing more. Actually focusing a bit this time and not playing at midnight.

So I've gone back 400 years to around 600 AD. After Death? Same town. Guardia? The war with the Fiendlord (love this name) is waging. Queen Leene (does that rhyme?) went missing but then returned. A Bell is being built in her honor. Crono brings up the Millenial Fair but that's crazy talk.

I like how how this one guy in town is chugging a pint and you can't interact with him until he finishes. Also how Crono shakes his head to indicate 'no' all the time.

I'm getting strong Golden Sun vibes which I love. I suspect GS was inspired by this game given it started to get produced a few years after CT came out.

Also yeah the wait for TWOW is ridiculous. Does not compare to HP. I read all 5 books in 2014 thinking I was in a good spot for #6.

They're my favorite books regardless of the fact that TWOW and ADOS will take forever, and ADOS may never even get released.

The ride through all 5 books had me captivated start to finish.

Except for parts of AFFC. Particularly Brienne. I need to reread her stuff.

Watching the show will never surpass the experience I had reading the books. They certainly do the books many justices, but the books themselves contain the meat and bones of my joy for the series.

I had accrued about 22 silver points, spent 10 trying to guess the right soldier in the tent on the right. Got it wrong. Didn't realize I was actually trying to guess who was who.

I have a bad habit of playing my 3DS late at night in bed, right before I fall asleep. I'll have to change that.

I played it for 20 mins. Feels like the Golden Sun intro. Woke up to a festival happening! Game seems pretty standard. I'm Crono, I named Lucca, and then went to the festival.

I bet on the GI Jogger and he won! Exciting. I spoke to everyone, learned some lore, and then bumped into a girl who dropped her pendant. Marle, right? She really likes that pendant.

And now I've time traveled in order to find her. That was a bizarre turn.

what are your expectations for it?

i won't comment on them!

I'm expecting old school FF. But... I guess better, with time travel.

I really don't have a lot of experience with old (or new) JRPG's like the rest of B8. I've only played FF1 (and beat it!).

Growing up my favorite RPG's were Golden Sun, The Lost Age, and Lunar Legend. I also liked Dragon Warrior. I feel like I've played more but it's been a while.

Just read the article and I wouldn't be surprised if this changes nothing.

My initial reaction is that I believe the authors writing isn't strong enough to cause change--though maybe not being very strong is the right style. I also think he should've cited sources to backup his points, though maybe he never really intended for this to go viral. Or maybe he doesn't care about citing his sources and knows many people don't need to have sources cited to incite this making a difference.

Also the media slant is strong.

Andy, I believe you're attributing a different meaning to my tiers than I am. I'm trying to understand how you think I'm supporting the bullies here. To me, my tiers are kinda just for flavor. I suppose you think by me clumping them all in the same tier, I'm saying Jess is no better than the bullies? Because, if so, I'm not saying that. I'm just saying I don't like Jess - but for very different reasons than those below her. I actually considered making a separate tier for them after the events unfolded, but then said it's whatever -- my ranking isn't a big deal (woops).

To claim I'm 'victim blaming' or 'supporting the bullies' is weird. It's very weird. I'm allowed to dislike both sides here without supporting either. Hence why both are in my 'dislike' category. As I've said before, I don't condone Paul or his minions behavior at all (my reactions are all in this topic).

Just because you're emotional doesn't mean you're absolved from your words and actions, or that I have to like how someone behaves when they're upset.

Likewise, just because I don't care much for Jess doesn't mean I'm taking the sides of the bullies, which you failed to understand.

I don't see you getting this so perhaps it's best to just drop it.

Matt would be better if he didn't shove his tongue down Ravens throat right after she acts like a deplorable human being all afternoon. I find his taste in women highly questionable. If he was even just a bit more charming he'd curry a lot of favor.

Instead he's just a mannequin. He's like Tyler from World's Apart. Not a fan of the behavior but doesn't do anything.

Raven is a horrible person and nobody likes her except those in the house. If they all impale themselves on the sword so she can "win because of her illness" then I will never watch Big Brother again. A piece of shit that horrible should not be allowed to win Big Brother.

What's worse is that Raven is the bully, when she's the one playing the victim constantly. I hate bullies no matter what, but the ones who treat themselves as the victim in the process of their bullying are the worst.

Peridiam posted...

I also really dislike the soppy 'woe is me' narrative from Cody, as well as how nasty Jessica treated him in spite of his flaccid post-nom hissy fit.

Jessica was upset, too. Are you sure you understand what it means to be a person?


She was pissed because Cody was giving her space. Did you watch the scene on the feeds, once Cody threw the lamest pity party? Jess was unnecessarily hostile and was doing neither of them any good. Cody was being a flaccid wimp, though. It was terrible. Combined they were both idiots.

Sorry I don't drink the Rachel Reilly 'been there, done that' kool-aid. I spent two years watching this live and it was abysmal. And now it's back.

At least Cody is way more amusing than Brendon.

And yes, Jody are in a way better light after yesterday. It's why I have them above the bullies. But I'll need more than not stooping to Paul's incredibly low level to start rooting for Jody.

From what I've seen live, this behavior is probably the worst I've witnessed aside from the racism in BB15 and the bullying last year.

Most players don't behave like this or crack under this 'experiment'. The players in mention here should not be excused for their shitty behavior. Hopefully they see the error of their ways post-season, but for right now they don't deserve to be held in good standing after much of their acts today.

Nice leap in logic there. You sure you wanna cast judgment so quickly? No, I'm not blaming Jessica or Cody for anything they've been on the receiving end of from today. I've disliked their horrid gameplay and terrible attitudes all week. I haven't particularly liked either of them for a while after I saw them wanting to just quit because the social game wasn't going their way. For most of the season I've found their behavior lackluster and disappointing to watch. Seeing Cody explode on Paul after noms was terrible and basically a giant X on his character. Seeing Jessica constantly want to quit, quit, quit really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. My dislike of them two goes beyond today.

I also really dislike the soppy 'woe is me' narrative from Cody, as well as how nasty Jessica treated him in spite of his flaccid post-nom hissy fit.

What rounds out your top 5?

For me its FF7, SMB3, and...Mass Effect 2 maybe? Though I admit SMB3 might be there because of nostalgia and the fact that I never had a SNES to play SMW. I've also played way fewer games than the average Board 8er I think, so there are probably games that should be there that I haven't played.

Dark Souls, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Red Dead Redemption.

he then advances at mark, so mark gets up and tries to grab the frying pans away

and then the feeds cut out

this whole time mark said just about nothing except "josh, you're comical, a joke". josh meanwhile was going apeshit. and what sparked it all? mark was asking josh to cool it with his attacks on cody. but he did it so passively...
