A lot of buzz lately as the news breaks that Nintendo is going to be diverting all ad revenue on videos that feature purely their game footage over a certain length to themselves, rather than the video uploader. A lot of people are angry at this…and I’m not.
Lemme explain the…
So, i was playing with a group at my college today for the first session of a Final Fantasy Tactics themed campaign, and i’m playing a Bangaa with the class of Gunner, because im aiming for Cannoneer. Naturally, you would assume i am not the charasmatic face of the party, and sadly, you would be wrong due to the fact the our group consists of:
1. An overly cutesy Hunter Moogle with the intelligence of burnt toast, and makes a squeaky toy noise whenever she gets hit, thrown, etc.(Thanks to a soundboard her player has on her phone)
2. A Red Mage Viera (And we all know how social Viera are)
3. two of those short little dragon people, whose race name escapes me (These two are a Red Mage who acts like a right asshole and the other is a slightly over-eager Ravager in training)
4. A Hume White Mage (the only sensible one of the group…unfortunately, her character is a bit of wilter when it comes to socializing)
Yeah.
SO, to summarize our first run as a Clan (we dont have a name yet), we are to contend with a local Philosopher and his followers about them moving in on land they don’t own.
The plan?
The rest of the team rush the opponent while I distract their black mage (the Philosopher). When I asked how to properly distract a person capable of launching flaming death at whomever he pleases, I was told this:
Philosophize at him.
PHILOSOPHIZE AT HIM.
THE BANGAA GUNNER IS TO PHILOSOPHIZE AT SOMEONE.
THIS PARTY IS GOING DOWNHILL SO FAST THAT WE ARE ACHIEVING SUPERSONIC SPEEDS IN THE FIRST SESSION.
AND THE SAD PART IS
IT WORKED. ALL I DID WAS QUOTE BILL AND TED AT THE PHILOSOPHER. AND IT WORKED.
SOMEBODY HELP ME THIS PARTY IS GOING TO BE AWESOME.
I never post on Tumblr, so I’m hoping my few followers can help me get this word out by reblogging…
I work for a hotel that hosts a major US con every year. I love anime and I go to cons myself, but I am going to be blunt about some of the problems we have and how we deal…
Smith: I killed you, Mr. Anderson. I watched you die… with a certain satisfaction, I might add. Then something happened. something that I knew was impossible, but it happened anyway. You destroyed me, Mr. Anderson. After that, I understood the rules, I knew what I was supposed to do, but I didn’t. I couldn’t. I was compelled to stay, compelled to disobey. And now, here I stand because of you, Mr. Anderson. Because of you, I’m no longer an Agent of this system. Because of you, I’ve changed. I’m unplugged. A new man, so to speak. Like you, apparently, free.
Neo: Congratulations.
Smith: Thank you.
