Board 8 > SaveEstelle/LeonhartFour in Different Houses: Exposing Frauds Edition [SELF]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wow dodged a bullet last night, I originally had 15 points on Kansas City

Changed to 1 point on the chargers last minute
---

Checked my scores for the first time since the Legends division started

Final scores of 479 and 308 lawl
---

500 and 324

Never quite made either leaderboard
---

Ended with 504 and 356. I was on the leaderboard for a while, but I was doomed because of how little faith I had in Cloud.
---

Unfortunately, I had way too much faith in Snake.
---

Augh, they want me to come in at 5 A.M. on Monday just to help deliver packages

suddenly I can't wait for Christmas to be over
---

you know you're tired when you're sitting at your laptop one second and you don't even remember falling asleep face down on the table until you wake up an hour later
---

And I guess now the board will go back to "normal."
---

Looks like picking up the Jags D/ST was the right call.
---

football ended last week imo
---

Well, I have to beat the #1 team in our league twice in three weeks, and he only lost twice all season.

So far so good...!
---

A month and a half of having to dodge and resist temptation of KH3 spoilers.

cool
---

this is easy mode compared to trails spoilers.

even if i dropped everything and skipped work and (etc) I don't know if I could beat all three remaining games in 6 weeks >_>
---

I'm up 17 points. He's got Newton and McCaffrey, and I've got Kamara.

Rooting for a Saints blowout tonight...!

Man, that's a great trailer.
---

Liked the Opening Movie Teaser one a bit more, but yeah, it was good.
---

Oh nice, there's a new volume of the Tsuredure Children manga out now. Time to pick that up.

We really need a season 2 of the anime.
---

oh my word Suna/Toda is just the best

how did they leave these two out of the anime almost entirely
---

Man good thing I have Smash to keep me from dying of KH3 hype.
---

Hm, looks like there's on volume of Tsurezure left after that one. Wonder if it'll come out around April or so.

Man, that's a great trailer.

It's insanely good. Also for someone who shows up on the boxart, I'm surprised we got nothing on Namine ever.

I'm still very slowly working my way through World of Light, but I haven't had a lot of time for gaming in general for the last month or so.
---

augh not an encouraging start to Saints/Panthers

step up your game Kamara
---

man they're really going to make me sweat this out to the very end
---

heck yeah Kamara

now just hold on for dear life Saints D
---

Whew, they made me sweat it out after that turnover and last drive, but I have survived and advanced to the championship game! I haven't won it since the very first year of our league in 2010, although I've made it to the finals one other time, too.
---

good luck!

I won my match this week, not that it means anything at this point. shooting for that coveted 5th place finish I guess
---

Both of the top teams who got byes in our league lost. I'm glad I wasn't facing the other guy who won this week because he literally had 0.1 more points than I did. He and I tied for the last two playoff spots.
---

Oh man the Ultimania with FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX is here

Hype
---

Ugh 9:30am flight tomorrow

Hoping I can sleep most of the way, but if not I guess Ill get in some Smash
---

I can usually sleep through most flights. It's one of the times where my ability to fall asleep anywhere at anytime comes in handy.
---

Sometimes I want that ability.

But I also have the ability to stay awake when I don't want to be I guess.
---

also wish I could sleep on flights

I just have a hard time falling asleep anywhere that isn't my bed or couch, though
---

I usually go into a half-asleep state for 2/3 of the flight, but I can never go totally out
---

Finished my Ar nosurge replay.

Such a great game. So many great moments. I hope/wish Gust revisits the series some time even if the particular story told by Ciel and Ar nosurge is over.
---

augh trying to watch the latest AA anime episode and for some reason the internet on my PS4 isn't cooperating even though it's working just fine on my laptop

might just have to watch it on here I guess

What happened to the AT team? Did they all get fired or something?
---

Okay, Ace Attorney anime episode 8 complete

Kind of a bummer they cut out the visit to Blue Screens, Inc., but Lisa Basil is probably the most expendable character in the OT, so I get it. They really nailed Viola in the 3-3 adaptation, but everyone else feels kind of off. Watching Gumshoe take down the Tiger was pretty great, but he does feel a lot less threatening in the anime than he was in the game.
---

Time to look into this Ultimania for a little bit. Like the first one, this book opens up with I guess is supposed to be a "defining" quote for the protagonist and villain of each game.

FFVII:

Cloud: "...The master of my own illusionary world. But I can't remain trapped in an illusion anymore...I'm going to live my life without pretending."
Sephiroth: "By merging with all the energy of the Planet, I will become a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet...I will cease to exist as I a now. Only to be reborn as a god to rule over every soul."

FFVIII:

Squall: "...I know what I want and what I have to do...There's still a chance. I'm not gonna look back. I'm taking Rinoa with me."
Ultimecia: "Reflect on your...childhood...Your sensation...Your words...Your emotions...Time...it will not wait...No matter...how hard you hold on. It escapes you...And..."

FFIX:

Zidane: "Even if we lose, it doesn't matter...Our memories will live on inside others. So, even if we are born to die, I'm not afraid. I'm gonna live!"
Kuja: "Ugh...I'm gonna die anyway...I won't have to be afraid anymore...But I'm not gonna die alone. You're all coming with me!"

Already hyped

Dunno. I don't think so.

There's a lot of Amano art of Cloud/Aerith (yes, she's called Aerith in the Ultimania) and Cloud/Red XIII for some reason. Also, man, imagine if we ever got Barret's Amano art into a contest. That would be...something.

They've got a flow chart explaining the relationships between a lot of characters, and some of them are pretty hilarious. For instance, the arrow from Shera to Cid says, "Devoted to," but the arrow from Cid to Shera says, "Treats poorly." Also, there's an arrow from Heidegger to the Turks that says, "Commands (in theory)." Also, there are three arrows pointing to Cloud with the word "Favors," coming from Aerith, Tifa, and...Jessie. Don't have an arrow showing who Cloud favors though...!

Oh man, under Memorable Quotes for Cloud, literally the first one is, "All right, everyone, let's mosey." A+ job, Square. The others are really solid ones, too, but yeah.

Looks like Cloud's "official" job class is Magic Swordsman. Also, apparently, the Buster Sword is held to his back by a magnet. Must be a pretty heavy duty magnet! It also originally had a chain dangling from the hilt. Apparently, Cloud's biggest spike was supposed to resemble a remote control antenna, which is pretty neat foreshadowing just based on the design. Also, in case you were wondering, Cloud wore a padded bra when he was cross-dressing! They go into detail describing the appearances of Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith during this part of the game since I guess the game's engine wasn't able to fully show it off.

if he's fightable in kh3 magnet better disarm him or better yet, send him flying at you entirely
---

apparently Barret's original name was "Blow" and he carried a gun in his left hand in addition to the gun-arm on his right

okay that's enough for one night I suppose
---

interesting sight to walk through your living room and see the police parked outside searching around the property

thankfully they weren't looking for me

yes, she's called Aerith in the Ultimania

throw it in the trash

accept the truth

accept the trus

fixed for aeris fans
---

darn I almost made a pun there too
---

I think it's weird how they try to shoehorn Ultimecia as this important part of FFVIII just because of Dissidia.
---

Well, I mean, she is. You just see her as Edea for most of the game.

But I do like how Dissidia also shows that the connection between Squall and Ultimecia is looser than the hero/villain relationship in other games because he's the only hero who has no problem just killing off his villain.
