CinnamonStar Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I want to keep the J-Max interview actually, just for Spike's effort, but we could still have a bigger one with a not-banned member. Yeah, 2 interviews really seem to be enough, I don't even know how many people are going to read everything.;/ The YCM riddle stuff isn't really meant for people to do, it's mostly useful because you can replace the featured member everytime and make another edition with someone else. But what about anime reviews and "flirting with Desu"? I could go back and look on the past suggestions that were made on the other pages, but can't right now. Will look later though. Also, everyone step it up please!=D We have a show to run on the 15th and I need everything in 3 days at the latest. I mean it! *whip* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desu the Blue Nerd Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 [quote name='Starlight Taxi' timestamp='1334082543' post='5909083'] I want to keep the J-Max interview actually, just for Spike's effort, but we could still have a bigger one with a not-banned member.

It could be any crappy thing that comes to mind just to torture somebody for an hour or two.

Gαr Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 After getting off my lazy ass, here's my review of Photograph by Def Leppard. [spoiler=]Photograph has that 1980's sound that I really like. Just the fact that it's made by Def Leppard makes it even more awesome. It's not a all out rock song, so you can listen to this and watch TV, but it's still a rock song. This song is about a guy who loves this girl and is crazy for her, but he only has a photograph of her. In the beginning of the song, we see a dead woman. This leads me to believe that this guy is in love with an dead woman. But I seriously doubt that, even though it seems completely logical. On to the visual part. The video has that cheap and grainy look that I like. It has a good balance of footage of the band playing and footage of the story that the song is telling. It even has a rockin' guitar solo and some hot woman (for the 1980's at least). It also has that cliche of zooming in on a discarded newspaper. What else could you ask for? Overall, it's a real good song even now. Some people might love this song, others might hate it. Music is all a matter of opinion. For me, I'm one of the people that loves this song. I'll take suggestions for the next song I review. Enjoy the music and peace out![/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks for the review, loved it! Rosario+Vampire is technically alright. I know that it has a lot of panty shots and stuff, but there are surely a bunch of other things you could talk about. You can mention it on the sidelines, but you don't have to base your whole review on it. Anyway, I need everything by tomorrow morning, my timezone. It's been known for a while now and I do have some work to do with the hosting, so the earlier it gets in, the better.:/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 [spoiler=Fabled Overall Review] Fabled monsters are a group of fallen angels and have a mini-archetype, called The Fableds, within it comprised of LIGHT Beasts based on animals in assorted mythologies. The general gimmick of the deck is discarding, though it's more monster based than Dark Worlds. This has caused a negative mindset that anything that discards is good in Fableds among those who play casual decks or are newer to the Metagame. The deck is themed towards swarming the field and summoning Synchros while using cards like Formula Synchron, T.G. Hyper Librarian, and Fabled Ragin to draw more cards and maintain the advantage spent on the Synchros. They also don't need a Normal Summon to explode in a fair few cases, which gives the deck a lot of speed. Fableds also have a lot of extraneous members who don't add anything to the group, though a small handful work quite well together, and they are also known for having the most cramped Extra Deck of almost if not any deck and having to try to find ways to fit everything they really want into it. Fableds depend on the Extra Deck because they're mostly low ATK monsters without it. Their bosses reside there, and give them the power to explode in no time flat or gain advantage over the game. Sadly, a deck like this doesn't have too much in the ways of techs, but there are a few you can do, though some of them promote different variants of the basic deck. Examples are Monster Gate, Spell Striker, or silvery Snow Sniper, the last of which might even ascend from being a tech. Fableds generally want a higher monster count than spell or trap count, but the deck changes with formats. In this current format, they don’t mind a 20-22 monster deck, because Effect Veiler, one of the best cards of the format, conflicts with the deck’s style. Maxx “C” can also clog, but it’s fine as a side or possibly in the main deck, and Fiendish Chain does Veiler’s job better, for this deck. Thank you for taking your time to read this. In later issues I’ll address each portion specifically, and maybe even present a decklist. For now, I bid you adieu. [/spoiler] I’ll do stuff other than just Fableds, but it’s a familiar place to start.

Despite its resemblance to its predecessor, this card outclasses the spellcaster in almost every way. While this card doesn’t have the defense stats or the LIGHT attribute of Toy Magician, it has everything else going for it, especially in the current format. The leading decks in the meta are Dino Rabbit, Inzektors, and Wind-ups, the second of which is notorious for destroying the field with its ace, Inzektor Hornet. Just a cut below are cards like Elemental HEROes and Dark Worlds, both of which have the power to destroy the backrow. The current format also has 2-3 Mystical Space Typhoons and 1 Heavy Storm in almost every deck, so this card has a high chance of going off, granting you a +2 off of MST and up to a +2 off of Heavy. Being a Warrior also gives it searchability, using the card Reinforcement of the Army, and its low stats allow for a search by Sangan. If you add it to your hand by one of these effects or something similar, such as The Warrior Returning Alive, thought TWRA isn’t recommended, it creates a mind game with the opponent, making them nervous to Heavy Storm unless they’re sure they can win/counter or stop their random, or blind, MSTs. If you draw into it genuinely, it’s a nice card to punish blind MSTing and their Heavy Storm so that you can use it the next turn and kill one of their cards in exchange. The fact that it activates in the End Phase is also a nice touch, reminiscent of Wind-up Zenmaines, another heavily played card this format. Despite all it has going for it, its performance has yet to be seen, and time will tell where this is good and in what. I’ll probably revisit it as time goes on and we see its impact, if any, and how it does in testing.[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Review is all done, but I'm not sure if I'll have a card review/whatever in. I'll try to get one done now, but if I don't respond, just roll without it. Also, I could use a proofreader please. [spoiler='Aggro's Kid Icarus: Uprising Review'] [size=7][b][u]Kid Icarus: Uprising[/u][/b][/size] [b]Console: Nintendo 3DS[/b] [b]Developer: Project Sora[/b] [b]Publisher: Nintendo[/b] [b]Release Date: 3/23/2012[/b] [b][img]http://www.padinga.com/padinga2011/wp-images/stories/E32010/pit.jpg[/img][/b] [size=5][b]First Thoughts:[/b][/size] You know I had high hopes for the game from the onset. I mean, it’s Kid Icarus for god’s sake. There hadn’t been a game in 25 years (save Of Myths and Monsters, but let’s ignore that because we can) and I was certainly a bit anxious to finally get my hands on the game. So after an impatient few hours of morning classes, I finally headed over to GameStop to pick up my copy. The next half hour was pretty much a blur, but all I know is that after that, I sat in a chair playing Kid Icarus for well over five hours. So let’s get into it, shall we? [size=5][b]Story:[/b][/size] With all the trailers showcasing the multiplayer, consumers like myself were a bit worried about how much care was going to be given to the actual story mode. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised- I’m joking, I was laughing to hard too be surprised. Yes, the story is fairly generic; Pit, supported by Palutena, fights off a giant evil. Pretty basic, right? Well, the story takes on a fairly different tone later in the game, which I must say was an enjoyable change that a friend of mine even commented as being “hamazing” …you’ll get the reference later. In either case, as a player, you really won’t care much about the story itself. The real treat is the dialogue. Nintendo took care in making the dialogue, which rolls along with images of the speaking characters on the lower screen throughout gameplay, even going so far as to hire an actual funny-man, a former Saturday Night Live writer to be exact. It’s extremely well written. Though many of the jokes made me roll my eyes, the majority of the jokes, and yes, even ones where I rolled my eyes, were genuinely funny. If you don’t at least give a laugh whilst thinking “Did they just say that?”, you don’t know humor. I should also mention that the fourth wall is gone, don’t even go searching for it, it’s just gone. Although the dialogue is entertaining, however, I must also point out how a bit of the story itself seemed like it drolled on, as if the creators just wanted the game to be longer so they through something in. It was a bit disappointing, even if it got in a few great jokes. [size=5][b]Gameplay:[/b][/size] The menu is very reminiscent of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. There are trophies you can collect and a vault to listen to music as well as several other features not worth mentioning specifically. There are a few features worth mentioning, though. The first, and honestly the most important, is “Weapon Fusion”. Quite literally, you’re fusing weapons you have in your stock in an attempt to get a stronger weapon with more abilities. Certain items mix with certain items to get other items, so mix and match to see what you get. Any weapon that you collect in Single or Multiplayer are available for use in both, as they’re more or less connected. Now onto the gameplay in the story mode. I’ll say this: holding the controller is going to make your hands hurt. The game comes along with a stand to try to alleviate the problem. It helps, in a way. It basically eliminates the idea of the 3DS being a mobile gaming device, and honestly speaking, I never actually used it, but it’s worth giving a try if your hands start to ache. Controls are simple for the most part. In the entire game, the L button is attack, the circle pad is move, and the D-Pad can be set for certain attacks. The rest of the controls depend primarily on what part of the game you’re on. Each of the levels in the game are split between land and sky battles. Sky battles are pretty easy to understand; where your stylus is on the lower screen correlates with where you’re aiming above. This gets a bit more complicated when you get on land battles. You see, land battles, unlike aerial battles, are not on rails, and you need to turn the screen by aiming to the side for slow movement, or flicking the screen with the stylus to make it spin. [img]http://www.zeldainformer.com/images/news/KidIcarusericasreviewcontrols.jpg[/img] Now it’s understandable why these controls are like this, but it’s an unfortunate reason. It’s the 3DS itself. Making use of the lower screen forces the player in an awkward position where you basically have to hold the screen fully with one hand and play with the other, instead of the classic handheld gaming that was much more like a controller. It reminds me of why I wasn’t very much a fan of Goldeneye007 or Metroid on the 3DS. It’s awkward, and playing it for an extended period of time can get exceedingly uncomfortable. You may have also heard that the game allows function of an extra D-Pad, which is fine, but probably not what you think. You would think that controls would allow it to be used to control the aiming, making it easier on your hands. Alas, it does not. All that adding the extra circle pad would do is flip the control to be easier to use for left-handed individuals. Bummer, right? Otherwise thought, the game is fine. Weapons seem to be balanced and gameplay is challenging. Before beginning each level you’re prompted to select the level of difficulty by betting hearts. The more hearts, the tougher and more numerous the enemies, but also more abundant the hearts you can collect in the level (currency in the game) and special rewards (such as weapons). If you beat a level, the game will automatically set the next level to be tougher than what you had it set to, which is still easily changeable when you begin. Likewise, every time you die, the game automatically decreases the difficulty of the level you’re on, something you won’t be able to change until after the level. [img]http://static.3dsconnect.com/2012/02/Kid-Icarus-Uprising-multiplayer-24.jpg[/img] [size=1]Multiplayer gameplay is like getting bitchslapped. You're not sure how it happened, you don't know why, [/size] [size=1]and it [/size][size=1]happened too fast for you to know what's going on.[/size] [size=5][b]Multiplayer:[/b][/size] The Multiplayer is nothing special. Many people were worried about it when they saw trailers for it, and with good reason. It’s hectic, terribly so. Controls work just like they normally do in land battles in story mode. There are two options on how to play, free for all, and an essential team deathmatch. “Team deathmatch” is simple; all players on a team share a health gauge. When the health gauge is depleted, the last player to die becomes that team’s angel (Pit or Dark Pit). At that point, it’s basically moot to go after anyone else other than the angel, as he’s the entire team’s health gauge. Once an angel is defeated, the game ends, and the team of the angel left standing wins. At the end of each game, the best player receives a prize, mainly an item. But like I said, the gameplay in multiplayer is just hectic. Land battles worked fine in the game when you could easily see and find enemies, as they were never too fast. That all changes in multiplayer. Team battles get the worst of it. There was a streak of several games where whenever my team got the opponent to their angel, we would chase after him, only to see him fly away on a glide rail positioned unfortunately too high for many of us to catch up and we ended up losing as not all of us could keep up. ‘’Basically, “team deathmatch” turns into a cat-and-mouse game that you really shouldn’t be playing. On one level, which aren’t that complicated or expansive, I should mention, I spent a good two minutes looking for their angel before ours was taken out. Free for all doesn’t have to deal with this thankfully, but in a game type basically made for organized chaos, having absolute chaos already really doesn’t help. Not to mention, it’s tough to even see what you’re doing when fighting and many times one-on-one comes down to luck. That’s not a good thing. [size=5][b]Graphics:[/b][/size] For a handheld game, you’ll be hard pressed to find graphics as good as they are in this game. It even challenges the Wii at some points. Put simply, the graphics are amazing. [size=5][b]Overall:[/b][/size] When talking about this game, most if not all of those who have played it will tell you the same thing: “Kid Icarus is an amazing game held back by poor controls.” And it’s true. The graphics, the concept, the dialogue, the story; it is a very solid game. [b]The Good:[/b] > Dialogue that makes the game E10+. > Steaming the Sacred Buns > Sexual Tension > An entertaining Story > Replay Value [b]The Bad:[/b] > Multiplayer that devolves into Chaos [b]The Ugly:[/b] > Controls that give you need of an ice pack [size=6][b]Rating: 8.5/10[/b][/size] [img]http://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Kid-Ic-MP.jpg[/img] [size=1]You're dealing with Dark Pit now, b*tches.[/size] [size=6][b]Final Opinion:[/b][/size] I did actually enjoy this game. Once I got past the awkward controls, it was pretty much just a thrill ride of laughs, cries, laughing while trying to cry, and crying while trying to laugh. The controls were my only issue with the game; everything else was great. If any game deserves to be the game that makes you buy a 3DS, it’s Kid Icarus: Uprising.
