I just can’t stand it when the people who are “open minded” and “accepting of others” are just as bigoted as everyone they complain about. It’s these assholes who keep me from ever wanting to be a part of Team Blue. They’re worse than the Team Red assholes because people at least call out Team Red for it.

This makes me very happy and proud. There’s nothing I hate more than when people with whom I am affiliated make the rest of us look bad. The Christians denouncing homosexuals and spreading messages of hate and condemnation are not true Christians and by calling themselves that, they make the rest of us...

Let's Face It
All WoT fans (yes, even the guys) think about what Ajah they’d be in if they were sent to the White Tower. But let’s face it: if you’ve slogged through the middle part of the Wheel of Time, you’re probably a Brown.

I’ve noticed a of people have started drawing DW characters with Pokemon. So, I guess that means I’m not the only one who already wants to see a DW version of that Nobunaga’s Ambition + Pokemon game they’re making.

God damn it, now I remember how much I love the Wheel of Time. I know Brandon Sanderson is working on the final book, but I want it NOW!
Or at least the movie. Or the video game. SOMETHING. This is intolerable.

Hello everyone!

I know it’s a strange time to do this, but I’d appreciate it if you’d give me a listen. I’m having a super special commission sale, in order to make a long-held dream of mine come true.

So, it may seem kind of odd to you, but I’ve always had terrible self-esteem issues….

Top 5 Mentor Characters
I read a lot of epic fantasy and Sci-Fi, and in those genres, there are templates that you can usually apply to some characters. In particular, these things usually have a central protagonist (even if they have several main characters, there’s usually one how is more relevant to the universe; i.e. Luke Skywalker compared to Han Solo), and that protagonist almost always has a mentor....

Xiahou Ba and Cao Pi
I was randomly reminded about something that pisses me off.
Xiahou Ba shouldn’t be listed under Jin. You never play as him during the Jin story; he runs off to Shu after, what, the third stage? And he remains there for the rest of the game. Even in XL, his special Legend stage has him with Shu. It wouldn’t piss me off as much if it wasn’t for the fact that Shu already has more...

Hypocrisy - Go Fuck Yourself
I’ve realized that there are only a few things that I just can’t tolerate. The one I’m thinking of today is hypocrisy.
You see it all the time, and it always pisses me off. The two places/groups of people I see it from most are probably the two it should come from least.
(The following may piss of my friends on Team Red)
I’m sick of seeing Christians judging others for...

Legend of the Seeker: (Ep. 1) Prophecy
My thoughts on the Pilot of Legend of the Seeker.
Two things to note:
First: in my introduction, I blamed the generic characters on Goodkind - which I really shouldn’t have done. I haven’t read the books, so I don’t know anything about them. When adapting a novel, there are a lot of things that, by necessity, have to be cut out. We don’t get the internal dialog that...

Legend of the Seeker: Introduction
There was a show that ran on ABC a year or two back called Legend of the Seeker. I…well, I watched it. It was based off of the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It’s not a series I’ve read, and for some reason I get a bad vibe from Goodkind. I know he’s one of the types who doesn’t let people write write fanfiction based off of his works, and that kind of rubs...

30 Days of Dynasty Warriors - Day 30
30.) Why do you like Dynasty Warriors?
Probably a good question, considering that about half this list is me complaining. What is it about this series that keeps me coming back time and time again? It suffers from poor critical reviews, and has some of the most irritating tendencies of any game series I’ve ever played. But I do love it. Why?
The story, plain and simple. While I may...

30 Days of Dynasty Warriors - Day 29
29.) Least Favorite Voice Actor
I’m not fond of G. K. Bowes as Sun Shangxiang. Her voice is very different from her predecessor, Michelle Ruff, who I thought was great in that role
It’s hard for me to muster up too much hate for the voice actors. It’s not their fault if they’re stuck with a dumb character, or if they’re stuck saying stupid lines. Since I can’t...

30 Days of Dynasty Warriors - Day 28
On the home stretch now.
28.) Favorite DW Voice Actor?
For me, it’s Kirk Thornton, no questions asked. He did a lot of voice work on shows I watched growing up (along with a few other cast members like Richard Epcar (Dong Zhuo), Steve Blum (former Sun Jian), and Richard Cansino (Pang Tong, former Sima Yi) ), so it’s always nice to hear a familiar voice. He was often my favorite...

What about Social Darwinism, Stalinism, Maoism?
Nah, if science doesn’t mandate the killings we always have cultic social sciences

30 Days of Dynasty Warriors - Day 27
27.) Most underrated character?
This is a tough one. DW has a HUGE cast, and it’s hard to give everyone the time and attention they deserve, especially when huge portions of the story are devoted to a relatively small group of characters. And to be honest, I don’t really know what a lot of other fans think about a lot of characters. Things get even more complicated when you realize...

Liu Shan
So, I’m playing through DW7:XL.
One of the final stages has a very interesting premise: Zhong Hui and Jiang Wei team up and rebel (as per real life). Sima Zhao goes down to stop them, and brings Liu Shan with him. Now, I had never played as Liu Shan before. Why should I have? You know how I feel about Liu Bei; Liu Shan would be even worse. Even Koei admits he’s a worthless fuckhead.

26.) Most overrated character?
Oh boy…so hard to choose. For this, I have to ignore history. After all, this is all an exaggeration. No one was this awesome in real life (with a few exceptions). So, just looking purely at the games…
Gotta go with Guan Yu. Every time he’s on the screen, everything is all about him and how awesome he is and how impressed everyone is with him. A...

A touch question, and the reason I procrastinated on this one. The women have changed a lot over the series, some of them getting better, some of them getting much, much worse. Normally I love Shangxiang, but then there was DW6…

30 Days of Dynasty Warriors - Days 16 through 20
Damn it, video games… at least this time, I was distracted by Dynasty Warriors. Loving all three new characters, by the way. Anyway, music today.
16.) Favorite OST:
As much as I HATE Chanban in all of its incarnations, I do have to admit that I love the Shu-side music for that battle (the song is titled Eve). I really like the combined use of flute and guitar.

Yeah, Skyrim got me again. I should be getting distracted by DW7:XL, but it wasn’t at the store even though I’ve already pre-ordered it and paid for it. Bastards. Anyway, costumes today.
14.) Favorite outfit/costume?
Always a tough question because so many characters have always looked cool. Naturally, the better graphics of the more recent games allow for more complex and fancy...
