Downtown Khazan: Siriel's Temporary Edition

[The MunchKING]

This seems like a good opening for a round of "How can you possibly refer to this as a "sword"?"

It's got too many edges to be anything else, and if you try to introduce more types of weapons into the system it just screws up the video game's mechanics?

[The MunchKING]

Aaaarrrgggghhh!! My eyes!!

That thing is HORRIBLE. And you'd have to be holding it constantly, because even without trying to find a scabbard (heh), if you even let it rest against your clothing, you'd never get it de-snagged to fight.

That's what they make hammerspace for.

Unless you're wearing plate. And if you're serious enough a warrior to be in plate, then GET A DECENT SWORD, DICKFACE.

Meh, what's the stats on that thing?? It LOOKS like it would be an impressive sword from in-universe rules...

Counterpoint: Can you transform into Bahamut? Do you have a permanent auto-revive effect?
No?

Then shut up.

Auto-Revive?? Well THAT'S worth a lot in terms of ergonomic failings. Esp. If it's permanent rather than a one-shot.

This seems like a good opening for a round of "How can you possibly refer to this as a "sword"?"

My friend's grandfather used to carry one of those to protect himself from the rain and sun. And to fend off crows and overly enthusiastic vegetable sellers.


People mostly referred to it as: "..a really old umbrella you have there. It's all broken and bend out of shape. And torn, dear god, why do you still carry that around?"

Self esteem is for everybody
Self esteem is for everyone
You can dream and be anybody
But self esteem is how you get it done
Self-esteem is how you get it...

[Omegalith]

Auto-revive is so overrated.

Fairly handy if no-one's expecting it, but there are workarounds.

So, for that matter, is Bahumut.

Hey!

Bahamut is a Platinum-Scaled Dragon-God-King who spits Nukes.

Sometimes from orbit.

You can't overrate that.

On the other hand, the guy we're talking about here just turns into some Cybertronian-looking claw monster with a metal mustache.



Hardly worthy of the name Bahamut, so I guess you can make fun of him and his unsword all you like.

[FarBeyondC]

Bahamut is a Platinum-Scaled Dragon-God-King who spits Nukes.

Nukes? Pah! I eat nukes for breakfast.

They go great with the tears of failed gamers, you know.

Well.
It's the 21st.
Still here and LOLing at everyone who thought the world was going to end.

[Siriel]

The last day of the calendar is the 21st. Technically the world ends tomorrow.

[Nik Hasta]

Well, it's the 22nd over here and the world continueth.

In other news; after looking at some of the higher calibre of animations on DeviantArt I have gone back to doing stuff in Flash again.

Here's a work in progress that was knocked together in like an hour or so:



Nothing concrete yet but I have some ideas.

[Miburohunter929]

Well, it's the 22nd over here and the world continueth.

You are very welcome.

So, I have just finished Yahtzee's second novel JAM.

It was... alright. I was entertained, mostly, whilst reading it, but now that I have finished it and I feel as though it wasn't that great. At this point, you can already tell what all of his "Tropes" are, and he reuses them to a T. And

spoilers:

everybody dies, usually just after cracking up, leaving only the jerkass and the fuckwit POV character alive at the end, still acting like a jerkass and a fuckwit, albeit a bit more on the benevolent side.

While it's certainly a different story from Mogworld, it still feels like the same cast of characters, with the roles slightly shifted around, and with less of a focus. Oddly, it almost feels like this is his first novel, while Mogworld is his second, instead of the other way around.

Still, it's not bad, and I was fairly riveted through most of it. It's just one of those stories that once I was done, it sort of left an mildly annoyed, diet soda after taste in my mouth.

The fact that the fast food joint had just given me a Diet Coke, instead of a Cherry Coke is purely coincidental.

[The MunchKING]

You are very welcome.

It's a new world out there... If you want it to be.
