WoT ToM: woo we escaped the eelfinn and aelfinn probably! They almost had me thinking Jain was gonna make it. :\ Also Moiraine is gonna do stuff, I imagine!

WoT ToM: hey lanfear how you been

OotS: Time for the battle of Azure City. Should be good times! I think I remember how this goes maybe.

WoT: On to the last book, geeze. We get Issam (Aisaam? Eye-san?) PoV even though I was pretty sure he got nightmare'd to death. I'd be excited if I had any idea what he was talking about, but the audio format is not helping me. Red veil guys are here again. They'll probably be fun!

Culdcept: And then suddenly I went back to winning! The more focused Water/Air deck seems to be the way to go for now.

Tiger Mask W 23- War Games Open: Don't use the name "War Games" in a wrestling anime for something that's not War Games. I got excited :( Anyway, I've never seen Gedo but that was not my mental image of the dude. This is a pretty cool gimmick, disappointing name aside!

Persona 5: Made it to the dang office, through such arcane and dishonorable tactics as "going two feet out of my way to save and fuse personas" and "avoiding fights once in a while" and "switching out party members who are out of SP." Sorcery! ....I think I GOT to a save point last time and just didn't realize it >_____<

Trails: Steward Gilbert nooooo :( Game's having weird laggy issues, but I cleared out that lighthouse nonetheless. So...do we go beat up the mayor now?

WoT MoL: Talmanes and Alludra said two lines to each other and now I ship them

Lucha Underground 1-2: I started this the other day but only got halfway through the first match before being forced to socialize. Was a decent intro promo by Ryck and co. Mundo and Puma go over Cortez and Cisco in a very fun opener. (***1/2) Konnan continues to get in Puma's head, and we get vague hype for Mil Muertes. Chavo and Sexy face Havoc and Ivelisse, and Sexy proves her point by picking the bones after Chavo takes out Havoc? They sure do want us to like her. (**1/2) Katrina shows up to be mysterious evil eye candy. She reminds me of AJ, although I am not even 100% certain she was in WWE when this was filmed? I appreciate the crowd counting to 10 in spanish. I less appreciate Mil Muertes' spear. (**) CHAVO HEEL TURN D: I wonder if Muertes and his mysterious prop have anything to do with it???

Transistor: Spent most of my time doing tests (ONE TURN() away from clearing Performance, augh I hate Fetch). Camerata are sounding less and less villainous though! As a side note I hate it when planning says something is gonna die and then it doesn't.
---

If you need a cheese strat for this region's boss, I'll be happy to give you one. This fight is stupid on Hard and impossible on Nightmare.
---

I think I'm on Normal (or maybe Easy?) but I'm also not very good at the game so I think I will take you up on that >_>
---

Give it a few tries, then you can look at the spoiler.

if somebody is in the corner and people surround him, the enemy can't hurt you. Then you can whittle them down with Arts and crafts

WoT MoL: I feel like Aviendha is the only character who really feels like they're being written by a different author, but at least I like her still. I don't wanna like Pevarra but I'm starting to. :\
---

LP MGS3: The End ;_; I don't get why his dentures flew out or why he exploded. >_> But hey, now I have context for a lot more of the MGS references I have encountered! I wanna look up that song later without all the wind and CTUNK CTUNK.

WoT MoL: They are certainly spending a lot of time on Andrall and Pavara. I'm okay with this. I'm also okay with Aviendha and Rand doing stuff, although I'm not sure this is the best idea the night before the Last Battle. >_>
---

I felt Mat changed the most between authors, or at least I noticed it the most.
---

I feel like Mat was already kinda all over the place so eh I haven't really noticed a difference
---

Yeah, but the difference in writing style was most apparent with him. Like, the concept of semi-pointless intricate backstories was funny, but I felt there was a clear difference in writing style in the execution between Jordan and Sanderson.

Then again, it could be that Mat was already my favorite character so I was paying closer attention to him.

The first one has been released, but it's only 2 1/2 minutes long, so yeah, there's not a real lot to say.
---

Trails: Chapter 2 BEATED. Took me a second try on the boss fight. They hit pretty hard! My ship is progressing nicely, and we've hinted at the one vague spoiler I know for this game. I like Richard but I can't shake the feeling he's gonna turn heel towards the end.

Persona 5: Got a good bit farther without major incident. Got to the Vault before having to go home and sleep, and now I'm a couple sections in.

Culdcept: It took several false starts, a deck switch, and some particularly good shuffle luck, but I finally managed the 1v1 against Zeneth! He ain't a War God for nothin'.

WoT MoL: ...wait, did Pevarra just lie to the guy they're interrogating? At least we have Logain back! ...not necessarily for very long, though.

Fountainhead: I don't like Dominique, like at all.

Transistor: Very slowly scaling these apartments. Tricky stuff! I finally passed Performance 3, but it took a few runs. I like that it's not the same loadout every time. I don't quite have the hang of all my weirder interactions, but I've found good success with a core of Bounce, Passive Load, and some form of Switch.

WoT MoL: MOIRAINE TIME IS NOW >:D And Perrin had a really good idea for the treaty!

Tiger Mask W 24- The Fierce Tigers Clash Again: This is a really good match! We've got more teasing for Fukuwara and The Third (who's gotta be the real Yellow Devil, right?) which ended quite abruptly. I was about to call the results predictable, and then Dark pinned Tiger again!

Lucha 1-3a: Dario Cueto introduces EL MARIACHI LOCO, who I already like just for the gimmick. He'll be jobbing to Mascarita Sagrada. "we live in a society that's way too uptight" yeah just wait a couple years on that Mr. Striker and see how that goes. Not a bad match, but I get the sense that both guys would be better against guys their own size. (**) CHAVO RUNIN. Vampiro cheers him for beating up a mini, then buries him in an interview.

Thanks Tom!

Just read through the whole topic for your WoT thoughts. Seems we agree on a lot.

Also excited to read your OOtS and Lucha Underground stuff.
---

I also really enjoyed El Mariachi Loco and am sad to tell you he rarely appears.
---

woo WoT!

Persona 5: I think I've gotten to the treasure, so that's good!

Trails: Kloe's gone ;_; But we got to see Julia again at least! And more Estelle/Joshua teasing.

Culdcept: Three turns, three scrolls, my three good lands all taken by Hypna. Love you too, game.

LP MGS 11-2: Just some radios. We named the Hind! And annoyed Sigint, and found out we couldn't remove our pants. Sad.

Played some Savage Lands. I like it! Fun mechanics, fun setting.

WoT MoL: I feel like we're gonna spend more time prepping for the last battle than actually having it >_>

Transistor: Dang, they're already dead. :\ Took Cull over Get- nothing that moves targets appeals to me really, but it sounds more useful. Also took Concentration.
---

OotS: Kazumi and Daigo yessss they are one of the few things I remember from last time

Lucha Underground 1-3b: Mil Muertes backstory o_O Then he beats Ricky Mandell (**) Mundo is getting Ryck next week woo. Puma hype video doesn't really do much for me. Drago's got a really intense costume! Pentagon Jr kinda looks like something out of an MDickie game. Striker talks about tecnicos and rudos without filling us in on which Pentagon Jr is. Fenix is I think the only one I've heard of, and he looks like a chicken. I can very quickly see why I've heard of him, though! This is one of the least organic matches I've ever seen, but there are enough awesome spots and chains that I'm okay with it. Don't tell Cornette. Fenix wins off a sick reverse rana thingy. (****)

WoT MoL: What's Machin Shin up to these days, anyway? I assume there's a reason the trollocs seem able to just pour through the Ways, but I don't remember if it got balefired or absorbed into the whole padan fain thing or cleansed with the taint or we just haven't seen it. Anyway I am looking forward to this four battlegrounds thing!

Tiger Mask W 25- The Tiger's Identity: That's about what I expected, but geeze :\

Been playing Chime lately after picking it up in the sale. Fun times! I probably won't put it in next Steam Battle since I'm playing it now, and it's more a "kill a few minutes" game than a "play regularly and chronicle progress" game. Man, I kinda suck at it, but I'm getting the hang of it slowly.
---

Sometimes having that "pick up and play" game is a nice thing when time is short.
---

I'm doubling down on my TEW mod, so progress may slow a bit for the next year or so. Unless I give up >_>

Persona 5: Kaneshiro BEATED. Not as hard as I expected! I keep trying to hang out with people and not being able to find them. :\

WoT MoL: I feel like Agamar (Ogglemarr? The last Great Captain guy) had a backstory planned and we had to cut it. He just kinda showed up for the finale, unless I'm missing something.

Fountainhead: I admire Roark's idealism while simultaneously thinking he's a bit too arrogant about it. Meet the customer halfway once in a while, imo.
---

Agelmar was the guy they hung out with in Shienar at the end of the first book and the beginning of the second. I think I'd forgotten about him too until I reread it.
---

Culdcept: Stepped on the trap, lost a couple hundred G. Hit the checkpoint, a couple hundred G short of the target. Hypna won next turn. ~Fate mocks you~

WoT MoL: Lanfear is even more interesting now that Lews Therin is in play.

Trails: The Kaldia Tunnel is almost suspiciously easy. The Kaldia Limestone Tunnel....will have to wait until I am stronger. >_> I met Tita! I was vaguely aware of her from gauntlets and TEW modding, and I already like her just as much as I expected to from the design.

Transistor: Oh boy, another Spine coming up o.o Cleared a Performance Test, and pushed through a rather annoying fight to Level 11. Tap() looks good, and I also took Cache and Legacy.

WoT MoL: I don't feel good at all about Gaul's odds of surviving this little jaunt. :\ I'm also waiting for Andral to go Super Saiyan or something.

Finished my Bible readthrough! That's my third time through, I think. Was considering going to the Book of Mormon or something afterwards, but I think I'll just take a break. My rotation is getting out of hand @_@ Or maybe I'll join my church if they do a skim-through-in-a-year thing again!

LP MGS 3 12-1: Fanservice while I'm on my lunch break at work, super! Eva isn't really my type anyway. Oh no Volgin killed...somebody. Ocelot continues to be quite the special individual. Also, Snake found his destiny inside the box lol
---

Coco was pretty good
---

i'm seeing it next friday.

with all the rave reviews i expect more than a "pretty good" movie, though!
---

I might've liked it more if I was in the right mood, or if that interminable Frozen thing hadn't played first

WoT MoL: Now you're thinking with gateways!

Culdcept: Made a deck specifically to counter this fight. It did worse.
