The big hook of this game, and the main praise it got from reviewers was that it wasn't conventially fun, and getting rekt by the ever worstening conditions of war was the point. It was a world that pushed you to do terrible things to other people, and look inside the darkest parts of your conscience etc.

I was able to beat the game without as much "moral" baggage (Killed one bandit, didn't let anyone else join my squad, and the only time I tried stealing ended with death), because no one does resource management and logistics better than I. It was 28 hours of trial and error, mostly error, but it was a good time. I had a ton of fun with the game.

Brave's message was executed so horrendously you might even think it's actually stealth anti-feminist.

From what I understand Divergent world is based on the most vapid, stereotypical teenage girl obsessions - cliques are literally basis of society, everyone has one personality trait except the main character who is therefore special and important and unique and the world revolves around them.

[up]Really? Did I miss on something?

@droy: But of course. I am, after all, the best at video games.

Also, just for the fun of it, how does the droy star system work? The value of a star or a point tends to vary from person to person. Some have 7 as their benchmark for mediocre, some use 5, others use a scale that isn't 4, nor divisible by 5 just to piss people off.

In news that excites me and pretty much nobody else, one of Toei's biggest properties, Tiger Mask, is getting rebooted for the new generation. In a full circle sort of deal, New Japan Pro Wrestling, the promotion that made, like, four actual wrestling careers out of Tiger Mask, is going to be lending its talent to the production. They're appearing in the damn show, names and all.

This is going to be a 100+ episode cheesy slog and I'm going all in on this shit.

@sunshine - That is a good question.

Basically, here's how the dRoy Movie Rating SystemTM works. Out of Four Stars:

0.5 Star: Fuck this movie and everyone who is involved in this in any way.

1 Star: Well, there's at least someone who will like this. I'm going to stay away from those people, though.

1.5 Star: I will watch this if I have nothing better to do.

2 Star: Flaws and Pros even out.

2.5 Star: Pretty decent, good enough to recommend to someone.

3 Star: Some glaring flaws, but otherwise pretty good.

3.5 Star: Damn, this movie is great!

4 Star: Genre-redefining masterpiece that will go down in movie history.

Some of the movies that I gave 4 Star:

Hope this explains enough.

It's trademarked? Goddamit foiled again. Either way, I give the scale a 23/31.

@shlugo: oooh. I thought this series only really made it super big in Japan, but it's good to be wrong.

So last week I did an assignment for my creative writing course. I wrote a 7 pages long collection of three sketches (that is the maximum length) of "supernatural comedy themed around subversive surreal black humor".

  • Duel of the Fates: A man walks through a forest, to face an opponent that killed his entire parents. The man prepared himself for this day, training for 13 years and becoming the greatest swordsman in the entire continent. So he faces his mortal enemy and draws the sword. Then his enemy takes out a pistol from wrist and shoots the main character dead. The enemy also steals the sword.
  • That Goddamned Jar: Long story short, the narrator fucks a bear.
  • Rolling in the Deep: A man (Diego) tries to kill a man (Viggo) with a road roller. Viggo tries to crawl away Diego. When the road roller runs out of gas, Viggo is relieved..and then Diego picks up the road roller, jumps, and starts to beat him in the head with the road roller. Viggo wakes up next day in a hospital, recovering from a minor concussion.

It's actually one of the better received works I wrote. XP

ROAD ROLLER DA!

Why'd the guy fuck a bear?

Oh yes, it was a very much direct reference. Diego was even described as a blond wearing yellow jacket, and at one point, when he got out of the road roller ask Viggo to ask him what this thing is. When he does, he answers "It's a road roller!" There's even a character in Jojo Part 7 that is named Diego Brando. evil grin

As for the bearfucking, here's how it goes. There's a bar bet involving beating down a former MMA champion in the bar, shaving a large bear that keeps appearing near the place, and sexually satisfying a hideous old lady with AIDS. The main character of this story gets himself hammered and then punched the former champion out of the bar, literally. Then he goes out of the bar to confront the bear. The bear screams and later MC walks back in, covered in blood and bear fur.

He asks: So....where this lady that I need to shave?"

As good a reason as any to fuck a bear, I suppose.

Actually many anime I watched in my childhood are things that would be considered obscure, at least in america.

BTW, Happy Easter guys! waii

Happy Easter to all. Went to the church and ooh boy, there was just so much darn festivities. There was small orchestra, unlike the usual which is just a singer, pianist, and cellist (that's me, by the way), Easter play where for the first time in my life Jesus was a Sri Lankan, and feast that had more varieties of meat than I've ever seen in my whole life, including at the very least 7 kinds of meat. After that there was an Easter egg hunting. Fun times were had.


If you want to debut as a film director, start by watching and studying low budget movies, especially the directorial debuts of prominent directors.

You'd think that this is a common sense, but you'd be surprised...

Before I clicked, I knew. Uma Musume is rapidly becoming the next big reaction fodder, it's a riot.

Happy Resurrection of the Christ to you all, as well. Hope you're feasting on his flesh and drinking the shit out of that blood of his.

@droy: Your easter was louder and more eventful than mine. The highlight of my Easter was the family watching Passion of the Christ as if it was a spiritual, cleansing experience. It's not Sri-Lankan Jesus is what I'm getting at.

Also, the hell are you saying? Every great director starts with a big budget avant-garde masterpiece and it only gets bigger and avant-gardier from there.

@shlugo: Does this mean we can both talk about the artistic merits of Ginban Kaliedescope together

April is going to be a good month to be me. Jojo Part 4, Wrestling, a drawing tablet, and Dark Souls 3 will be my life this month, it's gonna be the best summer.

To my frustration, this last weekend was a regular weekend. dRoy, good on you for being your church's cellist! And if I recall correctly you're in South Korea, but still, good on your church for not whitewashing Jesus every year.


You know, I know that "kokoro go doki doki" means "make my heart beat", but I keep feeling that kokoro is another body part.
