[Rajam]

Hey guys, just bought a Wii U yesterday with Mario Kart 8 and I'd like to get a free game via registering MK8 (more info here), but since I don't live in North America I can't join Club Nintendo and do the other steps. If anyone knows how to and can help me with this, I'd appreciate it a lot

 

[Lore]

I thought there were games for other regions too?

idk but the extra game with MK8 works through joining Club Nintendo which I cant do because it's just for people from USA or Canada

 

[#HBC | Nabe]

Has anyone played / is anyone playing Chrono Phantasma yet?

 

[Raziek]

Ryker, JDietz and I have all put a decent amount of time into it.

You picking it up?

 

[Lore]

I need to start learning it, but I've been busy. I'm down for a few games sometime.

If you don't mind waiting until I'm home in a few days, I can register it on my account and it'll give me a code for whichever game you'd like, and I'll send you the code.

[#HBC | Joker]

what about that EVO tho

Was a pretty hype finals. Super pumped about how well HBox did, would've been beyond hype if he had taken it all.

 

[adumbrodeus]

Finals were amazing and my man prog was an awesome shoutcaster. Course, he always is haha

 

[#HBC | Joker]

People have been sleeping on HBox, saying that he's fallen out of "the Gods", like he's not in the top 5 players anymore. Turns out, he was just... resting

a) Do not click on collapse tags if you don't want to be spoiled by Akame ga kiru.
b) Do not click on collapse tags if you are extremely offended by ****, pedophilia, or a minority being a pedophilia rapist.
c) Do not click on collapse tags if you are offended by the use of (b) for the purpose of shock value.

Author: Is there anyway to get a hiatus from this manga.

Editor: No. Are you crazy. You're getting mainstream popularity here and it's becoming an anime.

Author: Maybe a week or two? Please?

Editor: Look I know the deadlines are hard, but you can do what you did with the beast patrol arc and the recruitment arc. Just add in five more villains and you can have around two or three weeks to think about how the plot will develop.

Author: I think that I still need time to work with any villain even if we're just going to use the **** angle again.

Editor: I'm sure you'll come up with something interesting. The readers love the series and we've already used the **** at least six times. If they were tired of the **** angle then you would have lost readers by now.

Author: Okay I think I have an idea based on a childhood nightmare. I just want to make sure that you're okay with it.

Editor: I know you're stressed out so I'm not going to impose. I'll give you leeway this time on the characters, just make sure you get it in on time.

[Title Pages Read: A TV ANIME HAS BEEN GREEN LIT! LEAD COLOR PAGES!!!]

Editor: ....

Author: You said I could...

Editor: Kill it within five chapters.

Author: Okay.

Author: I had this idea for a long time but I always wanted to put in a shameless black clown pedophile as an elevated villain in the series.

Editor: That sounds like the best idea I don't know why you didn't tell me this sooner. People will love it.

Author: Thank god I thought that people would feel detested or have the idea that the villain would be contrived in order to generate emotional hatred that detracts them from the central plot which I don't feel like developing because I don't want to commit to where I'm going with this manga but can't stop because I have just been green lit for an anime.

Editor: Well it should be fine since we've used **** about six times and our viewership continues to go up because of it.

Editor: Kill it within five chapters.

Author: Okay.

I don't understand your point here.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

I don't understand your point here.

That's why I directed it to Xonar since he used one of the characters as an avatar. I finished reading the series today though.

Primarily it's more about how authors are desperate to expand on content when it comes to manga rather than actually spend time on doing quality control. In this sense the villain is someone who doesn't have an integral part in the story and I don't even know why he was put in there aside to add a 'darker' tone to the manga which was completely unnecessary.

In addition, the manga attempts to repeatedly exploit the revlusion of **** as a plot point numerous times when the manga itself is about exploitation and people being terrible to other humans. It's ironic that a manga about humans fighting for human decency involves human indecency when it comes to expanding such a story centered around heroes that fight for it.

Then again people who are willing to portray human indecency are capable of being equally deprave since it reflects some degree of their world view and their belief in the status quo, and if it's status quo when push comes to shove anything goes.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

Much like if you play a certain game and you become familiar with the meta in place, you can exploit someone else who is singularly relying on that meta in order to jank them or defeat them because you know what their reaction is going to be.

Similarly in television shows and other forms of entertainment oriented media, they are aware that something like **** is one of the highest things that most people will be disgusted by or have some cringe factor in response to it. So when they need to identify someone as evil, deplorable, or justify that they are someone who should be killed then they utilize the meta in order to delay or progress their story especially when it stagnates or they become desperate.

This is not to say that **** isn't an issue to be highlighted in popular media. I actually encourage it, however it's more common that **** is used as a device to save the plot rather than to actually offer a commentary to society. For me personally it's also a sign of low class and poor character when someone has to rely on something crass on a repeated basis without expanding on a greater point at large. However, that may just be due to my sense of how story telling should be rather than accepting what it currently is: Fifty Shades of Grey.

 

[BSL]

I mean I've read Akame ga Feels, I know what you're talking about.

It just seemed out of the blue.

 

[#HBC | Acrostic]

It just seemed out of the blue.

Sorry. There's been a plot development in my life that involves a pedophile clown.

 

[BSL]

Pretty good, why?

 

[giraffelasergun]

Captain Falcon Confirmed for smash 4.

(and Lucina and Robin)

 

[BSL]

So Lucina isn't a marth alt?

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Let me start off by saying, **** is the EASIEST way to make a character despicable and super lazy, however, I think you missed the point entirely.

Gonna spoiler this because I'm pretty sure (hopeful) Akame will get enough airtime to go through the entire manga eventually, and some dgamers are watching it without reading it.

The clown is a tool to advance the rest of the story. He represents everything that is corrupt in the setting; his group and the elite. His death by angelbro's hands explores his character more than anything and sets him apart from the rest of the group (which they try to do with every member really). Additionally it sets up the tone for power levels, these guys are strong but not unbeatable. Hell, they're very beatable.

this post has been destroyed by crashboards thrice now so *** i forgot some stuff i thik but w/e

 

[Dooms]

LUCINA AND ROBIN <3 <3 <3 <3

 

[Xivii]

Uh not sure why they are calling him Robin when clearly his name is Zen.

lol'd @ Chrom ending.

 

[Xivii]

I actually am interested in the game now.

 

[Circus]

Hype level unquantifiable after that trailer.

These are the first newcomers I'm actually excited about. I was hoping we lived in a kind enough world to get one of them, but both? Whose **** did I suck in a past life to deserve this?

(kiiiiiiiinda wish they went with "Tactician" instead of "Robin" though)

 

[Circus]

but no you guys I was so scared it was gonna be rayman

I feel bad for how hard the rayman fans got trolled but damn thank jesus and all the apostles for this turn of events

 

[giraffelasergun]

there are rayman fans?

 

[Raziek]

Ryker got to actually hear it, but I'm sure the rest of you can imagine my reaction.

 

[BSL]

No one actually thought rayman was going to be playable, right?

 

[Dooms]

Ryker got to actually hear it, but I'm sure the rest of you can imagine my reaction.

Was this recorded?

I was wanting to be in a dgames call for it, but then I had to teach band camp. ): So sad I missed your reaction.
