Writeup Graveyard / Rika (vs. X)
« on: June 12, 2010, 04:40:57 AM »
The peppy Numan from Motavia has quite an interesting history in the Duelling League, both in victories and losses - but this week, she's picking up another sweet victory! X may be one of the strongest Reploids ever known to man, but he sadly lacks the power needed to handle Rika's brilliant expertise in buffs, healing and offense. X's Ultimate Armor packs weaponry capable of felling a fortress, but Rika's Deban gives her fortitude superior to even that - and with plentiful healing and amazing speed, she'll run circles around the Reploid even after he dons his armor! As long as she keeps up her buffing game, victory is but guaranteed - and she'll hopefully build herself another run in the halls of Godlike after this!

General Chat / Xenosaga 3 Abridged - Where Trolling Tropes Go To Die.
« on: June 01, 2010, 01:46:03 AM »
Alright, this is what you guys think it is. I'm going to do a separate XS3 abridged series along with my in-topic comments. This one will hopefully be far more complete than the comments in WGAYP, since WGAYP are the immediate spur of the moment trolls, but there will be some overlap, of course, because I'm lazy and why not. This may take a while, sadly, and it'll definitely mean I'll play through XS3 slower (OHNOES), but I hope it'll be memorable. I have a lot of fun snarking on it so far, so may as well pick up the logical extension. This starting post will cover my first post, which covers the prologue. C1 will come later, probably tomorrow.

So, without much ado... I present you...

XENOSAGA 3 ABRIDGED - Where Trolling Tropes Go To Die.


<Narration> I'd like to rip off Star Wars here, but even the new trilogy is a bit too dignified for this. So just enjoy a bunch of cutscenes that make no sense and three Power Rangers joining the Wicca.
<Testaments> KNIGHTS THAT SAY NI!!! wait a minute, no, this is about HOW WE WERE RAVENMOON AND STARBRIGHT OWL BEING BURNT AT THE STAKE IN SALEM WE'RE SOOOOOOOO COOL

*Cue in to a really nonsensical place where a bunch of explosions are happening.*

<Shion> THIS. IS. THE INTERNETS! We're gonna save them intartubes just like in Mega Man Battle Network!
<Miyuki> Woohoo! I suck so hard I have like half of Shion's stats! Ooooh, this jumpsuit makes me look all curvy!
<Shion> Yeah you keep on dreaming.
<Miyuki> :(
<Canaan> God, I aged like seven-hundred years and a half in twelve months. I really should stop with the crack.
<Doctus> Yeah tell me how long would you last in this without something to strip you of your dignity.
<Canaan> You have a point.
<Doctus> Of course I do. Now hurry up and enter the Intarwebs, MOMO Virgil food hookerbot Realian... no. HookerbotMOMOfood Tin Man.
<Canaan> You're a bitch. :(
<Miyuki> Shion, why is this part so short?
<Shion> Snow's a really lazy bastard and skipped this first dungeon plot because he watched it like a year ago.
* Miyuki NODS.

*INSIDE THE INTERNETS.*

<Miyuki> Ooooh, this is really pretty! The gameplay sucks, though.
<Shion> Just the gameplay? Man, those randoms get wedgies from Shadow Hearts 2 randoms on recess.
<Miyuki> Why are they so bad?
<Shion> You see, they needed to realocate resources to spend more money on KOS-MOS cleavage shots in cutscenes, so we took a bunch of Grandia 1 difficulty designers who were scampering around the trash bin in Monolith Studios...
<Miyuki> That's so smart! I bet KOS-MOS's chestnuts look really good!
<Shion> ... jesus you creep me out.

*Inside the deep internets...*

<Miyuki> The internet is made of cats, the internet is made of cats~
<Shion> God kills a kitten every time you masturbate, you know.

*UKELELE TWANG.*

<Miyuki> ;__________________;
<Canaan> STOP TALKING SHADOW HEARTS RANDOMS ARE COMING AND THEY WANT OUR FLESH!
<Miyuki> Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I don't want to kill seven kittens a daaaaaaaaaaaaay ;_;

*BOSS FIGHTO~*

<Sigdrifa> RARR I AM SO THREATENING I GET BROKEN BY SHION SPECIAL+MIYUKI AND DROP MIGHTY 10HKO MT DAMAGE
<Hello-DojimathedralWaddleDee> lol. *Smash.*
<Sigdrifa> GLORY TO AIRYGLYAAAAAAAAAARGH

<Shion> That was sad. Now let's scram.
<Miyuki> I GET INSIDE THE MECH UPSIDE DOWN HURR HURR I'M SO FUNNAY
<Doctus> ... you seriously had to deal with those broads since the last game, lolibot Tin Man?
<Canaan> I -swear- they weren't this bad then. Also, my name is not Tin Man!
<Doctus> I know. I just think your name sucks.
<Canaan> :(:(:(

*EXPLOSIONS AND SHINY~*

<Shion> AAAAAAAAAAAH IT'S A RANDOM LOLI ELLY OUT OF NOWHERE DO NOT WANT DISENGAGE INTERNETS

*FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM*

<Narration> And now, for something completely different!

<Shion> Ahhhhhhhhh, the beach, the sun, the spiderwoman bikini crawling up my ass. This is so perfect and well-placed and completely not creepy fanservice at all!
<XS3Writers> FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANSERVICE
* Japan faps over Shion in a spiderwoman bikini.

<Miyuki> RARR RANDOM MIYUKI OUT OF NOWHERE
<Shion> I hate you.
<Miyuki> Hey Shion, everything went all right!
<Shion> Kinda, yeah.
<Miyuki> Sooooooooooooooooooo...
<Shion> Sooooooooooooooooooo?
<Miyuki> Do I still suck?
<Shion> You still suck. Now go do my math homework while I blow up coconuts for cheap drugs.
<Miyuki> ;_;

*E-mail.*

<Allen> Hi, I'm emailing you to tell that the military took KOS-MOS to open a new niche stripclub and they're putting a strap-on dildo on her forehead. Also I miss you and I want to see you naked and OHGOD WHY AM I FORCED TO BE IN LOVE WITH THE WORST JERKASS SUE EVER JUST LET ME SEE YOUR BARE TITS
* Shion glares. If you really want to lose your job this badly, I know some quality directors who are looking for a romantic interest for Chu-Chu in her new softcore porn direct-for-DVD movie, you know. I'm pretty sure you'd look great in a pink furry suit and ice skates.
<Allen> Y-y-y-you are... the... greatestest person *Twitch.* e-e-ever, Chi-chief! You a-a-a-a-re tota-ta-tally our Fl... *Twitch.* our f... *BURNING TWITCH.* ...Flower of... of... the First Division!
<Shion> B+ for effort. You may live.
<Allen> So, do I get to see some jiggle?
<Shion> Fuck no.
<Allen> Dammit! *Turns off.*
<Shion> Welp, time for a conspicuously placed flashback where I get one-upped by someone more irritatingly beloved than I am for no discernible reason other than the script saying so!

<Game> *LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGA-* Wait a minute, that would be awesome. Nonono we just get a dry cut to the scene without any mention of it being a flashback! Hooray, saved pennies for longer discretion pantyshots on hookerbot!

<Shion> oooooh it's so hard to be a jerk sue
<Kevin> RARR I'M A TWO-BIT LESBIAN FEMINIST HIDING BEHIND MY TWO-FOLD SEXISM TO PRETEND I'M NOT A ROBOPHILE
<Shion> On the other hand, he probably does the jerk sue schtick better than I do.
<Kevin> Wait did I say that out loud? I-I mean... KOS-MOS must have a female shape because only female healers make it to Heavy in the DL!
<Shion> You know, Artea is one of Heavy's best healers and he's a guy...
<Kevin> ONLY FEMALE HEALERS GO TO HEAVY
<Shion> ... I have no words. Let's just start over and pretend this never happened, okay?
<Kevin> Sure! Let's talk about how I'm so great for making KOS-MOS!
<Shion> Works. Anyhow, Kevin, are you trying to be like Jesus and save everyone with KOS-MOS?
<Kevin> No, not just that. I mean, I -want- to be Jesus too, but I actually just wanted to know how sleazy sex with a biblical prostitute was like at first. Honestly, I still do.
* Kevin licks lips.
<Shion> ... god now I know how Allen feels.

*SUBTLE CUE AWAY FROM THIS SCENE.*

<RedTestament> This scene is supposed to be totally cryptic and enigmatic, but it's actually just a very extended your mom joke. It's fun and easy, just like your mom!
<Wilhelm> You were right, your mom emits good wavelength. Twice. From behind.
<RedTestament> We're so awesome, aren't we?
<Wilhelm> Just like your mom in a nightgown.
<RedTestament> Hell yeah!
<NotMiki> You guys totally suck.

<Miyuki> Prologue is over! Do you want to save your game?

Writeup Graveyard / Kain Highwind (vs. Megadget Z)
« on: May 29, 2010, 02:15:35 AM »
The tormented Dragoon from Baron has a truly mighty ordeal up ahead. Against the klutzy inventor Meg, the valorous warrior faces one of his greatest banes - a healer with quite a solid resource pool, who can take advantage of the long interval between his Jump strikes. However, a true warrior never backs down in face of adversity! Kain's notable armor can weather Meg's weak attacks and he has superior training and agility, being able to get openings while Meg is vulnerable casting her spells! And, even if she resists the damage on his spear strikes due to wind element, he can find a weak spot and take her down! Kain won't be defeated so easily, that's for sure!

Writeup Graveyard / Lady (vs. Violetta)
« on: May 28, 2010, 10:41:20 PM »
As Malice shouts and begs to unleash its vicious essence onto the Duelling League, Lady moves and slaughters the poor lamb standing in the way. This simple yet ruthless modus operandi brought her the Godlike title more than once, and there's no reason it should lose its effect now. Particularly not against the clingy, weak-willed Violetta. So, she believes she can withstand the might of Crimson Dirge and the endless barrage of Lady's Malice Unbral? Let her dream like hopeless sheep. With a single wave of her hands, the Bringer of Malice will rend Violetta apart like so many other hopeless fools. Nothing will stand in the silent horror's way.

Writeup Graveyard / Cray (vs. Gerik)
« on: May 01, 2010, 03:51:06 AM »
The hot-headed Woren warrior Cray went through a myriad hardships in a quest for his love, for his land and for the future of his world. Armed with his trusty club, possessing the might of a dozen oxes, blessed with the protective powers of his motherland, this courageous adventurer has seen the rise and fall of the Endless - and lived to tell the tale. As much as he has in common with the swordsman Gerik, who also travelled kingdoms high and low to aid an army against the foul Demon King, Cray shall prove who is the superior brave. With his mighty buffs, such as Speed and Might, he'll get just the edge he needs to outmuscle the ranger/hero, and show what are true leaders made of.

Writeup Graveyard / Saleh (vs. Simone Verdricci)
« on: May 01, 2010, 02:59:34 AM »
Plumes, petals and flamboyancy were never Saleh's forte, but as far as spellcasting acumen is required, he's in top shape. Against the unnervingly campy Simone Verdricci, the wise sage needs nothing other than his trusty Thunder and Elfire tomes to proclaim victory. And even if Simone can dabble in weak spellcasting with his Wind Rune, the narcissist's gusts are incapable of breaking through Saleh's stern resolve. True magical prowess shall prove its superiority over silly stage antics in this fight, as Saleh holds his tome and enters battle!

34
Writeup Graveyard / Jeane (vs. Isabel)
« on: March 27, 2010, 01:22:50 AM »
Oh, these fights between fellow Stars of Destiny are so quaint. Jeane's been hanging out with the Suikoden crowds for so long she wouldn't even mind dropping a few lightning blasts for fun (teehee~) on a few of her comrades. It's nothing personal, though! The Rune Mistress is just very playful in many ways, and only a few of them involve abusing her increasingly scant wardrobe patterns. And given how Isabel wouldn't really be a good playmate for dressing games, an old-fashioned Soaring Bolt nuke session will just have to do the trick to entertain Jeane. One has to wonder: is fantasy heavy armor a good electricity conductor? Jeane can't wait to find out!

35
Writeup Graveyard / Lavos (vs. Claude Kenni)
« on: March 27, 2010, 01:14:00 AM »
However fitting the clash between a one-eyed space astronaut rooster and a poorly dressed space ensign from a trainwreck universe may be, there's quite a gap in power between these two forces. Sure, Lavos, in the end, looks amazingly goofy even compared to the stunning standards of bad wardrobe choices Claude sets for the DL. But once you get past the cartoonish frame, you have a universe-devouring entity ready to feast on the still fresh carcass (and currently not carcass-like, but that'll be soon fixed) of a young space cadet. There's really no comparison in actual might, and Lavos will show Claude this chasm as bluntly as he can.

36
Writeup Graveyard / Profound Darkness (vs. Jessica Albert)
« on: March 27, 2010, 12:45:59 AM »
It's always the same diatribe. Lone warriors seeking to disturb the supremacy of endless despair, carrying their tiny weapons and casting their feeble little cantrips to try and dent the black hole that'll engulf all existence one day. Jessica Albert may have a pompous name to uphold and a vengeful resolve that Profound Darkness could feed off for years, but she has nothing to properly fend off the brutality awaiting for her. The endless night's relentless, murderous attacks can trivialize any of Jessica's little tricks, and her frail build will make the ravaging particularly easy. Come, so-called "blessed" warrior. The Profound Darkness shall end your futile resistance.

37
In her relentless quest for revenge, the Harmonixer Shania went through hell, heaven and earth. The kinship between her and Jessica, also hell-bent on a search for vengeance, may be significant - but this hardly means Shania will put down her tomahawks and throw the towel. With her mighty Tirawa fusion, the lady warrior will withstand all the young sorceress can pull off - even the dreaded Magic Burst spell. And once Shania unleashes her combo of slashing assaults and Sun Flare with the aid of her Dream Porter, Jessica will be but a faraway memory as the indian beauty advances to the quarterfinals.

38
Writeup Graveyard / Profound Darkness (vs. ZOGGGGGG)
« on: March 12, 2010, 10:32:06 PM »
The Profound Darkness is just about to engulf the DL in a neverending spiral of anguish and death once again! And lo and behold, her first victim is an arrogant dragon emperor, who feebly believes his scorching breath will save him! Well, he need not worry: even if he will fall to the endless horror like all else should, the incarnation of hatred and despair will grant him a quick - if brutal - demise with casting after casting of Megid! A mere dragon should know better than trying to stand up against the evil that devours a solar system!

39
Writeup Graveyard / Mazus (vs. Yulie)
« on: March 12, 2010, 10:27:31 PM »
This is a waste of time and energy. Summoning an elder wisdom such as the great Mazus so he faces a squishy, insecure little girl from a ruined wasteland is one of the worst things the Duelling League could ever do. As such, he has no choice but to unleash his scorching, non-plussed distaste against the arena dwellers. Starting with Yulie, the feeble challenger herself. Mazus' mighty Blazing Camp magic will leave the entire battlefield a shambling shadow of ashes and burns - and if the very nature can't withstand his wrath, what could be said of the Paladienne? There won't even be a rag of her prudish little dress to retell the tale.

Writeup Graveyard / Heat (vs. Cloud of Darkness)
« on: January 23, 2010, 03:07:04 AM »
Tentacle against tentacle, one would say. Such pointless rubbish they come up with - this is the playing field of a GOD, dammit. This barely dressed entity of darkness and pointless silence has no reason to try and pick a fight with the mighty Vritra. Come as she may with those goddamned Particle Beams and those little vines she calls "tentacles". Heat's own monstrous limbs shall come into their own, hungry for flesh and soul, and his Inferno magicks at the ready to char this hopeless slut like the worthless hobag she is. This Cloud of Darkness twat may think she's hot in the scene, but she better watch out. Heat's anger and hunger will prey on her like the hunter preys on the hunted.

43
Writeup Graveyard / Ness (vs. Edea)
« on: January 23, 2010, 01:41:36 AM »
Now, this may seem an annoyingly lopsided fight for the young savior from Onett. The Sorceress Edea is quite skillful at magical tricks that laugh at durability - Maelstrom's gravity damage is problematic, and her Death spell is even more troublesome, as it can down any person vulnerable to it in a single casting. However, Ness is hardly unable to circumvent that: having a rare speed edge over an opponent (as Edea, in spite of her powers, suffers from the typical liabilities of a mage by being slow and frail), Ness can get a crucial opening that will leave the wicked Sorceress unable to fight back - either Psi Rockin' or a SMAAAAAAAASH from Ness' trusty Gutsy Bat should leave the witch reeling. And even if she survives that assault, a missed casting of Death will be her end. The psychic kid ain't letting a mere spellcaster deny him his chance to get back to Godlike where he belongs!

44
Figured it was pretty much obvious, but couldn't hurt to give the warning: I'm leaving for the New Year in a few minutes and it's very, very unlikely I'll be available for editing/writeup round-ups on Friday. Sorry about leaving Shale and Tai sorta sitting on their hands on such short notice, but. If I -can-, I'll try to see if I can get online for at least editing and last-minute help, but don't hold your breath, since the New Year's gonna be pretty busy.

General Chat / Good Morning, 2010! The Princess' Diary Intarwebs Edition
« on: December 31, 2009, 12:02:53 PM »
Told you I'd name the next topic after a Julie Andrews movie (technically, it's supposed to be about Anne Hathaway, but Andrews completely steals the scene anyway). At least, it's morning - though it's still 2009. So, you can wait to post until next year!

46
Merry Christmas, guys! (Okay so it's sorta early elsewhere, but it's December 25th 12:30AM here, so it counts)

Here, post your Christmas happenings and your loot (at least, once it's under your tree). But, before we get into loots and fun, here's a word from our sponsors!

First, the Brazilian Government would like to make a kind offer:




Now, Media Vision's design team provides us a unique perspective on the legendary exploits extolled by the Brazilian Government: soon to be turned into a DS game with oddly solid gameplay.




Finally, this announcement is personally sponsored by Grefter, whether he admits it or not:




Okay, that covers it. Anyhow, what did you get for Christmas? How was your Christmas Eve and how will be/is/was your Christmas Day? Post your regards and gifts here!

(PS: Cabana Boy Andrew is entirely endorsed by superaielman, Jo'ou Ranbu and Lady Door. Ask -them- for the details, though, not me.)

Writeup Graveyard / Lyon (vs. Max)
« on: December 19, 2009, 12:50:48 AM »
The Prince of Grado has plenty of experience dealing with rebellious army leaders. Sure, the last time he had to do so went rather disastrously - however, he also had to handle a full army. Here, he will face only a silent swordsman - and let's face it, those don't really make impressive generals. Max may be strong and skilled with a blade, but this is far from enough against Lyon's Naglfar magicks. The fencer's magical resilience is nowhere near the level of his physical resistance, and two castings should put him down for the count. Meanwhile, Lyon surely can withstand a couple swordstrikes and perform the finishing strike. The prince came very close to a Middle championship before - and now, he shall achieve maximum glory!

Writeup Graveyard / Billy Lee Black (vs. Kanon)
« on: December 19, 2009, 12:45:56 AM »
Billy Lee Black once again showed the strength of his goddess' blessings and his own gunslinging throughout this season with ardent devotion. And now, all his strength shall be needed: the Blaze of Purity now must face one of his most relentless challenges in a long time. The mechanical mercenary Kanon comes from an arid land, ravaged by legendary flames of disaster, and is both battle-hardened and quick to the draw. However, the kind priest will once again call for his goddess and let his Godfather pistols sing the songs of deadly angels, putting this murderous battler down with both skill and magic. He already left a mark in Godlike once: now is the time for him to do so once again by claiming a Heavy championship under the auspices of his great deity.

49
Writeup Graveyard / Thomas (vs. Black Wizard)
« on: December 18, 2009, 11:54:16 PM »
The lord of Budehuc Castle has finally made the final stretch in a Light field, much to miss Cecile's joy. However, the brave little leader still has one challenge ahead, and it's gonna be tough: after all, Black Wizard's arcane arts aren't subject to Thomas' brilliant evasion game, which means he'll have to give his blade swings that extra push to land that Light title! But that shouldn't be too hard all in all: Black Wizard, for all of his dark arts mastery, is horrendously frail, and has some accuracy issues landing his money magicks to begin with. With a bit of luck, Thomas will be able to avoid those obnoxious incantations and strike home, guaranteeing victory to the glorious household of Budehuc!
