That got a laugh outta me. I guess I found the bard.

As an infrequent visitor to the Court, can you explain why the Ikea v. Balenciaga was ruled “not shade”? Was it too straightforward to be considered shade?

Not coming across as a dick. That’s how I read it too, although the article was vague enough it could swing either way.

Here, brother, let me bring you out of the greys. (Peasant.)

I despised Shadow Dragon. It’s the only FE game I haven’t finished except the Fate series, and I kinda intend to get to that... maybe.... eventually.

Awakening is great to get into the series. I think Sacred Stones is probably the best to get started on, and the best example of “what a Fire Emblem game is.” Past that, they’re (almost) all very good.

Glad they’re apparently steering away from the Awakening/Fates artstyle. It was good, but beginning to get old.

This is good. I’ve been wondering why my gut reaction with NDT or Nye is a deep frustration in my gut. Eloquently said, internet human.

Er, yes, but I was thinking specifically of COD. Some people have mentioned that one of the BLOPS games caught a bit of Vietnam.

Someone was really slacking off in 2004. Also, have they done Vietnam yet?

I had to do a double take on the face before I realized this wasn’t just a photo of Harrison. Very good cosplay.

Seriously. Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

Less “challenging”, more “engaging”. Zelda puzzles are usually designed to make you scratch your head for ten seconds, fiddle around with the world for two minutes, and have a satisfactory result in under five minutes. Obviously some puzzles are easier and some puzzles are more difficult.

Yeah I would, but I wouldn’t be impressed by the action. I’d be impressed by something that’s much too rude to type.

I sympathize. It’s natural to feel the way you do. My gut reaction is exactly the same, actually. But Heather’s response excellently shatters it.

No, that’s not been definitively answered. It’s a theory. It’s an interesting one, but I don’t buy into it at all.

That was my first thought as well. Alas, Link has to reverse-Sheik it whenever he wants to go into town.

I actually adored the VA in XV (thought it was the best VA work in modern gaming), but I get your broader point.

That was the difference between my first and second playthroughs. First playthrough on an easy mode? Buff the stats like hell, gotta live to fight and gotta fight to live. Second playthrough on death march? Eh, the wolf jacket looks sooo cool! (Even though it’s eight levels below the recommended quest level.)
