Star- no, it's not too different, except in the details. There are some features that make it unique- the brave/default battle system (you can save turns in battle for later, or use future turns early, basically), you can speed up battles or put them on autopilot, and you can TURN OFF RANDOM BATTLES. I think it'll be fun.

I can see why some don't like it, but it's at least trying to do something different, apposed to the generic pasting the vocals over a half-baked electro beat. Lol now sounding like Vinyl a bit in criticizing electronic music.

I guess I'm just pickier. Possibly the reason I don't listen to remixes much.

@Ike Neat, it's almost a turn-off with me when I have to do random encounters all the time in RPGS and it has to be turn based battles. Good to know.

Honestly, I'm not all that excited for the new episode. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome that they got Weird Al on the show, but for some reason that specific information doesn't have me looking forward to it that much.

Did someone say polka?!*Grabs Acordian*

Also, does anyone have any tips to give me for my Tumblr? I'd like to get it off the ground some more.

Well, I'm back from college, and am wondering if I should consider opening up another tumblr. (Only real issues I have are that I can't draw worth a bit, and I don't think some form of ascii pony would ever look good.)

[down]It's still there, but moreorless all I use it for is to like pics, and the rare reblog. Wondered if I should consider an ask blog of some sort.

@NES: I'd consider it, but you should also remember that keeping up with that sort of thing is tougher than you might think. I wouldn't start one unless you're really dedicated to keeping it going for a while.

Speaking of Adventure Time, I just watched episode 3. I'll probably see 4 and 5 later tonight.

Also, the Ice King reminded me a lot of Frozen. Especially with the way he really wants to marry a princess like Hans.

I also just rewatched Frozen in honor of the giant winter storm. I've concluded that Elsa must be manipulating the melting point rather than the temperature, since Anna never gets cold despite walking miles through snow in a dress with no hat or gloves.

[up]That, or Anna has some kind of latent heat-related superpower to compliment her sister.

Come to think of it, did they ever say why Elsa had magic ice powers in the first place beyond "she was born with them"?

No, though I heard one of the original drafts had something vague about a prophecy.

Your theory about Anna having unconscious heat based powers makes a disturbing amount of sense. Maybe not getting bothered by the cold just runs in the family.

Or love maybe? It melted her icy heart after all, so maybe Anna doesn't have complete resistance to the cold as seen with her curse, but it gives a lot of protection from the cold a normal person wouldn't.

[up][up]Really? I just jokingly threw it out there as some kind of explanation that makes no sense and raises more questions than it answers.

Also, it would have been nice if they gave some reason for Elsa having her ice powers other than "oh, and she has ice powers". They didn't have to go in-depth with it, but at the very least they could have said she was cursed by a witch or something.

I like that there wasn't an explanation. Made it feel more magic-y and fairy-tail-y.

Without a hat, I can't even walk across campus to the Student Center without freezing. I could really do with some of Anna's powers.

Same. I think trying to explain it would just cut into the running time without really adding anything anyway.

Also just watched Adventure Time episode 4, aka Finn and Jake meet Applejack and go adventuring in the Everfree Forest.

Tree Trunks reminds me a lot of Granny Smith, just a bit smarter and less senile. And in little elephant form.

I also like that they didn't really bother explaining Elsa's magic. Everyone just sort of accepts that this kind of thing happens sometimes.

Oh hey, I got in the tumblr today! Alright.

I guess. AJ comes to mind first though since she's so much more prominent. Also, I would have never guessed that that's how you pronounce Enchiridion. Also, love the Keeper.
