  1. My mood today:

     

     

  2. This isn't edited, it's the actual fight in my headcannon:

      Made this fight scene real funny specially the voices......

      And you kiss your mother with that mouth? What are ya, some kind of troll or something?

       

       

  3. This is a game I am legitimately intrigued by. I like me some Puyo, but making it an RPG? I am actually kind of interested.

  4. So, for those of you who know me and how much I have the biggest obsession with Tales of Symphonia. WELL, look no further than the ultimate geek showing off something that most people who have played Tales of Symphonia will know as the hardest boss in the game, making a cameo appearance in the Devil's Arms sidequest in the game! This is not a post-game side-quest as you can do this as soon as you finish the Tower of Guidance. I will be posting a video of this as well, for those of you interested. For now though, enjoy some screenshots!

    Also featured in the screenshots are custom battle backgrounds for this fight as well as the Tower of Guidance. It matches the tower's tile layout and I think looks damn-fine 😄 Also, yes, the circles that you see in the battle backgrounds are indeed CG objects converted to sprite form. Also, as an added bonus, just like the PS2 version and PS3 versions of Tales of Symphonia, if you play on Hard or Mania mode, Abyssion starts off the fight with Divine Judgement (Krista's Verdant Arte) and will do an incredible amount of damage. Also, it is unavoidable, since Abyssion also has Initiative, which allows him to attack as soon as the fight starts, before you get to input a move against him. That only happens if you play on Hard or Mania however. He does use everybody's Verdant Artes against you, just as he does in Tales of Symphonia as well as being able to use Overlimit on his own Pokemon.

  5. I tend to get made fun of a lot by friends about how many, or lack thereof, of games in my steam library. I am an avid PC gamer, but... I didn't know that in order to be a "Hardcore PC Gamer" you needed to have 1000+ games on steam. I'm like... "guys, I'll buy games if I'm gonna play them. That and I have a shit ton of expenses to cover - I don't have the money or the want to horde steam games that I'll never play anyways." Also I spent 3000+ dollars on building my recent Super-Gaming PC anyways, soo... yeah, hurting for money atm XD

     

    But really tho, does anyone else get that same kind of flack from friends about how small your steam library is? Literally all the games in my steam library.

      People who care about steam library count are silly. I have like 60-70 games and about 1/3 of that is filler from bundles / free from humble store that I'll probably never play

      ive got duel links and thats it. nice.

  6. Lloyd Irving/Robin, ladies and gentleman:

     

     

  7. I like TVTropes, I do. But, one thing that really grinds my gears is when people direct it at me saying "you can't write a good story if you aren't being 100% original, these days."

     

    ... what? Guys, not everything has to be a classic and novelty for novelty sake is in-itself a trope. Also, to say that you have to be completely original would mean that you'd have to basically make the story as uninteresting as possible, by removing themes, characters and narratives.

     

    There is a sense of familiarity with certain stories that people, believe it or not, ACTUALLY enjoy and prefer recognizing. Like themes of love, drama, adventure etc. It's how you write those scenes and how well delivered they are that ultimately sticks with people.

    1. Commander

      My issue with TVtropes is basically everything written on there has turned into an impression that it's a bad thing. It's a good thing to kick back and learn a new term, but honestly you really should never go there or even use it as a source when talking about writing or giving feedback for writing. In actuality, tropes are a really good thing and there's no shame in using them as that's why tropes are tropes in the first place.

    2. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      Tvtropes like even posts that all over the bloody website, that tropes aren't bad,poor use of them is. People still don't really listen.

    3. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      I think the common misconception with tropes is that people believe them to be cliches, which are a completely different beast. Tropes are tools for writers to use and it is impossible to write a story without them, unless you are an alien who has never been to Earth before.

       

      An architect builds a house with four walls, a bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, etc. If an architect decides "you know what, this bedroom and bathroom shit, I'm getting tired of it. Let's make a house without those." then that would be the equivalent to saying you are going to write a story without tropes. There are big houses, small ones, ones with gazebos, pools etc. The point is: there are tropes that are necessary to the plan of your story and those that are nice, but not necessary, that you can add. They are tools not a "way of life that you must deviate from for originality sake."

  8. This I have to admit is pretty funny:

     

     

  9. That moment when you realized that one of your characters is super cute, but then you also realize that she is a Pokemon in a Human body and then it gets to be really weird.

     

    I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO FEEL!

  10. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... about that last update. Here is the long, almost forgotten Valentine's Day video I had planned to make back in February. This is a post-game side-quest that you can do after you defeat Falset at Destiny Outlook and Ferona-Nirvana. Essentially, this side-quest involves finding Mia at certain locations in order to have her join as a temporary party member. There is also some nice, shippy trash, for those, like me, who are total SAPS and enjoy that stuff XD

     

    But, yeh, this was supposed to be a video I was going to plan on posting on Valentine's Day, but... yeh, this be it. It's homely, it's good, sisterly-fun with endearing interactions and some nice moments. Also, even though Vaan is no longer part of Vice anymore you can still access Verdant Trasnformation, which is explained in a skit after this video ended. Which... I may show at a later date. But, I will also show off Mia as an optional, temporary character you can play as at a later date as well. She is only available in certain fights however.

     

    Also, here's a glomp from Vivian:

  11. Sooooooo~ this is what I've been working on:

     

    hugz_by_dylanrockin2122-dcgp9zh.gif

  12. I am so glad that I can upload one of Vivian's Skit portraits as my profile picture ;A; It perfectly reflects my constant mood.

  13. So, I was searching through some old screenshots that I was gonna use for a post, and I found this year's valentine's post that I was gonna use. This was gonna be a video as well that involved a side-quest with Vivian and Vice that allowed for Vivian to talk with Mia in the living world for 24 hours only, before Mia departs back to the Next Dimension. At the same time Vice can speak with Mia due to... certain things involving Vaan and you can uncover those secrets during it. It's a lot of lovey-dovey, shippy stuff and I still may make a video on it, since it is really cute and I know some people will appreciate stuff like that. Anyways, heres the screenshot of *gasp* TEXT! If you're wondering why it is cut off, that's because RPG Maker XP is stupid and doesn't let you resize windows :L

    But yeah, was going to be a Valentine's video and show off some post-game stuff that I was working on. Also, yes I am a sap and I do enjoy that mushy garbage XD

  14. Welp, I just beat a certain boss in a certain game on the hardest difficulty and remembered exactly why I suck at soloing him. It's been half a decade since I solo'd him and welp... took me 12 tries to get a good run and not die in 0 seconds.

     

    I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU. THIS. IS THE POWER THAT I'VE BEEN SEEKING. ALL THE POWER... IS WITHIN ME! NO ONE... WILL BE ABLE TO DEFY... ME!!!

     

    That is your hint.

  15. For those of you who haven't read the Tales of Symphonia Manga, this is the greatest thing ever and it needs to be a thing:

     

    4bf55645690d93cef300118a9078457d.jpg

  16. Oh yeah, btw's this, along with a couple other skits in this game are some of the most entertaining things about Dawn of the New World. That's not saying much, considering the new voice actors and all...

     

     

    1. Xtrack

      Xtrack

      The skits are probably my favorite thing about this game. They are so entertaining and seeing them just makes me want to play the game again. 

    2. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      It's almost like they're the only redeeming thing about the game. tbh, I only ever revisit this game for the skits and the fan-servicey moments.

    3. Xtrack

      Xtrack

      Yeah this game had some major flaws but the funny character skits helped keep me engaged. 

  17. Phew, I just finished Tales of Symphonia for the first time in 5 years and man... it felt like I experienced the game again for the first time again. All the feels. I was actually surprised by how much I forgot. Also the PS2 content is a great addition, especially with making Abyssion 200x harder and Nifelheim becoming even more of a pain in the ass to clear.

     

    It was getting painful to finish it, when I got to the endgame, because I wanted to hang out with the characters more, because I enjoyed their characterization, personalities and when I got to the end, all that was left was optional stuff. Also, shoutouts to Scott Menville, Jennifer Hale and Cam Clarke for being absolutely amazing voice actors - literally couldn't imagine those characters without those voices. *cough Symphonia 2 *cough*

     

    Now to forever ingrain Sheena and Lloyd as my eternal head-canon pairing - FIGHT ME!

    1. CodeCass

      CodeCass

      I keep thinking about grabbing this up since it's so cheap on the Steam sale right now. I've just never gotten into the Tales series which is surprising. I love anime, and I love JRPGs. I really dig the Tales games art-style. It's just seems that I keep falling off every Tales  game I try. Now, to be fair, I've only ever tried Vesperia on the Xbox 360 way back in the day, and Zestriria on the PS4. Maybe I'm just not playing the right ones?

    2. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      Zestiria is a mixed bag. For me, I wasn't all too fond of how obvious its recycling of past plot-devices from previous games were. Vesperia PS3 is the definitive version that people should play, but thankfully they are localizing that amazing game for the PS4, XBONE, and Switch - would highly recommend this version to play.

       

      Symphonia is the best place to get into the series from, but don't get the steam version, since I heard it was an awful port. Get the Chronicles version for PS3 as it has everything the PS2, Japanese version has, along with its bastard sequel that no one likes aside from its fan-service. In most people's opinions Symphonia is the best, mostly for its heavy themes, amazing plot and equally awesome characters and its battle system that encourages... technical... skill, ewwwww! (sarcasm) Highly recommend Symphonia to start with. Its easiest to get into and its battle system is still excellent to this day. Also, this game does not suffer from RPG Syndrome, where the beginning of the game doesn't follow the standard trope of RPG's being simply awful in the first 2-3 hours.

  18. So, apparently I heard that there were Poketubers who were trying to crowdfund their own fan-game, named after themselves, because of course they did. Very narcissistic. But, wow... and here I thought I saw everything. Literally, you couldn't have a more worse situation than this.

     

    Poketubers with no artistic merit or taste, or even visionary capabilities + livestream crowdfunding for a fan-game = literally the worst idea ever. I don't even know where to begin with that, first off: crowdfunding, a fan-game is, no matter how you shake it, illegal and unethical. Secondly, it's being made by some people who don't even understand the design and theory of making a game. It's like, WHY NOT, let's have other people make it for me and name it after myself!

    1. Candy

      Candy

      wow and likely they'll default because they'll be like this is harder than I expected, and keep all the money cause wynaut

      this here is why Nintendo takes down fan games x(

    2. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      I also find it absurd that they were going to name it after themselves. Like... how much more narcissistic could you be? "I'm gonna make a game, name it after me, and when you play, you'll remember that you're playing the 'me' game - by the way, made by me! Featuring me as the main character."

       

      It only makes sense since he's a class-A stoner and has a legion of idiots who worship the very dirt he walks on.

  19. I really want to compose a theme that has a similar, creepy and eerie feeling like this:

     

     

     

     

    Any theme that encapsulates a specific feeling I've always loved. For example Pokemon Black and White's Route 10 theme encapsulates a feeling of adventure and makes you feel like you're at the end of a long journey. Or even the Route 12 theme, which I feel is very eerie yet calm. I am not sure how I'd describe that theme. But Dragon Spiral Tower is a theme I wish I could emulate.

     

     

     

  20. I just watched the Parasite Eve movie and... that was certainly a movie I watched.

  21. So... people who play Fortnite should totes add me, so we can play Squads.

    Get in on that shiz!

  22. So... I started doing the Fortnite dances in real life and now I can't stop dancing.

  23. Welp, after the Nintendo conference I wouldn't be surprised to see people on a certain smash forum on the internet, somewhere, already discussing ways of how to break street date for Smash Bros. Ultimate, pre-meditatively. Honestly, wouldn't surprise me.

  24. Tales of Vesperia PS3 version confirmed for being on the XBOXONE. I LITERALLY CANNOT EVEN! Vesperia is seriously in my top 5 favorite Tales games and I'm glad the US is getting the better version of the game that was never released.
