Just found out Bravely Second, the sequel to Bravely Default has been out in the UK for 2 weeks! Sometimes it does pay to be living here.

Without the distractions of cutscenes and gameplay I'm listening to the ost of Xenoblade on YT. It is honestly one of the most beautiful soundtracks to anything I've ever heard. A pity I'm only realising this now. Oh well, will make my next playthrough all the more enjoyable!
MyDixieRect repliedIt sure looks fun; as soon as I saw gameplay of youtubers sprinting across vast lands I knew had to get my hands on it
How are the characters and soundtrack?...Yeah. It doesn't help that when I finally had enough money to afford one, my laptop I needed for uni broke and I had to use it to buy a new one. .____.
Shulk repliedI liked the characters, but I know that they're pretty hit or miss in general. The main story only focuses on a couple of them, but everyone has a set of affinity missions (3-ish sidequests) that go into their backstories a little more. As for the soundtrack, I wasn't a fan at first, and while I still wouldn't say it's as good as the original's, it has grown on me. The new battle music for Unique Monsters is definitely my favorite.
Shulk repliedAlso, laptops never seem to want to cooperate... I need to get mine fixed soon. ._. It mostly works, but the keyboard's broken, so I've had to use the on-screen keyboard... It's frustrating.

I had a dream I was playing Skyrim, despite never having played the game before and seeing no footage of it. I guess that's a sign. The next game I buy will be Skyrim.

That new Walking Dead though...
MyDixieRect repliedI don't think it was forced. Michonne has been like a mother to Carl and Judith and was always looking after Rick even when he though the didn't need it e.g. when she knocked him out in the middle of his crazy rant. When someone is that central to you it's not much of a stretch to maybe develop feelings for them. Especially in a world like this.

I think the problem with anime that turns people off (other than the fanservice) is pacing. It shouldn't take 12 episodes of a 24 episode series for the plot to finally kick in.
Felixx repliedI meant shorter anime, like Noragami for example. Each season is about 12 episodes long, but it takes over 6-7 episodes until the real plot starts
But tbh One Piece is also one of them. But that's because Oda works very detailed and puts a lot of things in the manga. I mean the last few arcs were REALLY long.Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) repliedThe last arcs were eternal, especially Fishman and Punk Hazard, Dressrosa it's at least great, but it's still long

And yeah, I know you meant the shorter ones, Darker Than Black is similar, that's why I never finished it

I don't think I'll ever be fully ok or even slightly ok with the way Teen Titans ended.

The more I think about it, the more I realise Jaime Lannister is the greatest.
Arya Stark repliedThere's no excuse for murdering a child who literally did nothing wrong. A quick talk with him might help out. Bran wanted to be a knight, so Jaime could easily have offered a squireship to the kid and in return his secret isn't going to be betrayed.
MyDixieRect repliedThey're pretty much rival families, no way Bran was keeping that secret. Heck his family would interrogate the hell out of him until he spills his guts. Cruel as it sounds I can't blame Jaime for putting the life of his family ahead of some kid.
Arya Stark repliedWhy would his family interrogate him? There's no reason for them to interrogate him, why would they suspect anything? It could just as easily be the Lannisters attempting a kind of relationship repair, which would make sense if the Starks are going to be in King's Landing anyway, they might as well be getting along better. Seeing it like that is mutually beneficial. Of course it's difficult to see this as a potentially good option from the future looking back, but at the time it w...

Applied for a job and they said they'd contact me. Check my email every evening, only for them to send me one at last night at midnight when I'm fast asleep saying to come to the interview at 3pm. Suffice to say I didn't see it and I didn't make it.
MyDixieRect repliedYeah I sent them an e-mail back saying how it was short notice and sent really late at night, after I'd already checked my email that evening (in a much nicer way that doesn't make it sound like their fault) so I didn't see it on time and asked if it can be done at a later date. And I know right? Kinda unfair.

Thanks Cricket!
Dracozombie repliedEither they expect you to have some kind of magical time powers, or they're a little unprofessional. Who sends a callback email at midnight of the same day?
MyDixieRect repliedWell I am awesome enough that one might think I do, but since they don't know me, they can't be aware of my awesomeness so it's just a lack of professionalism. It's the kind of trolling I'd expect from Shana.

One of the saddest facts about my life is that I'll never know what it's like to have 32 teeth.
MyDixieRect repliedWell, in a mouth of 28 teeth, 4 of my molars had to be takes out so I could straighten my teeth via braces. So that left me with 24, and my wisdom teeth haven't grown yet...

They're already filming Star Wars Ep VIII. Wut?
Shulk repliedIf Star Wars is involved, I'll be as excited as I am now.

Well, unless they do a sequel to the Holiday Special, but that wouldn't happen... Right?
Shulk repliedI haven't seen the whole thing yet, but if the start was anything to go off of... It was certainly strange.
I've heard a lot about it, but I plan on watching it for myself soon.I do worry that Chewie's son will give me nightmares at some point, though.

Playing Bioshock Infinite. Normal mode makes the game too easy but Hard mode makes it too hard. I don't know what to do.

So this website I'm on is streaming its videos in 692p. Wut? Just do 720p like normal people would.
Shana09 repliedi think 692p is a beautiful number
just because its not the norm doesn't mean its not good okay
MyDixieRect repliedYou're right, Shana. This website was clearly just trying to be a trend-setter and not a trend follower. Innovation. I shouldn't be mocking them for it. Sowwy.

Whoever thought I, of all people, would sport a man-bun. Luckily, I only need to have this abomination for a week.
MyDixieRect repliedWell I took out my cornrows but because getting cornrows involves splitting your hair into sections, if I get a buzz cut now you would still see awkward lines where the hair was divided so I need to wait a week for those lines to "fill" before I get it all cut. ;c

I'm not too thrilled as of yet with Moana's VA. I was expecting someone who sounded a little...older and tougher. I'm sure it'll turn out great in the end though.

When college is in full swing so you have no time for those sweet videogames. *sigh*
Shulk repliedThat's how I was last semester.
I've actually had a lighter workload this semester. ._. It definitely does suck getting caught up with a ton of work, though.MyDixieRect repliedHave you? How long until the semester ends? Maybe the hard stuff's yet to kick in. Not to scare you or anything.
Or maybe I just need to transfer to your college. But yeah it's awful. Especially when all the work comes at the climax of the game. Come now that kind of timing is just cruelShulk repliedI think it's just the difference in the classes I took last semester and the ones I'm taking now. I took three History classes, each of which had a lot of essays.
Even though I'm taking two English classes right now, they're more focused on reading than writing, which I can handle far better.
