The majority of voice actors for children characters are woman

Example: Bart Simpson

That makes me think of something, since that woman also voiced DeeDee from Dexter's Lab...now I can't stop imagining Ben wearing a tutu...

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Whoops, my mistake. Let's not think too hard about "that" art.

Thought so. It's like Japan thought of these two as the PlayStation mascots back in the day. Too bad Parappa's been irrelevant for years while Crash is slowly recovering with the upcoming remasters. And that's not going into how Dredd Fox scammed one fan of his money years ago.

Ohohohoho don't get me started on that incident. I couldn't believe he would so such a thing in the first place. Parappa's voice actor promising to do a fan dub for one of his fans only to keep forgetting about the money he got paid and refusing to do so or give that money back.

He sure acts high and mighty for a guy voicing an irrelevant video game character. In fact, I never want a Parappa 3 to happen even since I've seen the full story.

 

[AndreaAC]

In the Latino dub? That's surprising, I usually hear young male voice actors in those (for little kid characters I mean).

At times there are kid's doing the dub, like, in Finding Nemo, in Latino, Nemo was voiced by a kid, but Ben and Naruto it was a woman, and Aang from the Last Airbender by a man, but he has the face and voice similar to a kid due to being born premature. (And apparently, he doesn't have the kid tone anymore.)

 

[Icedragonadam]

Although most of the male characters that are voiced by women are children. There are some non child characters that are voiced by women. Adult Goku, Luffy, and Bowser in Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach comes to mind.

And the sad thing is that fan never getting his money back or the lines for that fan video. Never forget.

Who would have known that Parappa's voice actor would be this edgy?

Ok, I know that him scamming the guy is terrible, but the entire franchise shouldn't pay because of a voice actor.

 

[Space Stranger]

I only watched the original Ben 10 series because I found Gwen attractive.

Yes, I am a pig. AMA!

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

You know, there is some huge irony in so many producers for old Sega IP's going to Kickstarter instead of depending on Sega.

Hideki is producing the Jet Set Radio inspired Hover: Revolt of Gamers, Yuji for Rodea the Sky Warrior, Ryuichi with Monster Boy, Johnson with Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove (), and Suzuki with Shenmue III.

It really makes you wonder who else would throw their hat in the ring, Mighty No. 5.6 aside.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I've seen Ben 10 and all of the original sequels. And the movies. Some of the changes were weird, agreed. It worked out mostly well, although Gwen being an alien was a lot better than having powers from solely a charm alone. I don't think it meshed that well, though. It's clear they wanted to really expand the idea of aliens are everywhere though. I also liked that the Highbreed, after Ben saved their race, became some of high best allies. As well as that among the only true villains, only a few were human specifically. They did a good job of making it feel like the race didn't determine the villain, the person was evil on the inside. There was pretty much only one human that was pure racist against aliens, and he was clearly a reference to General Ross, even to the point of being mutated(notably, he tortured innocent aliens and got what he deserved). There was another one, but I think he had the same fate too(except he wasn't nearly as much of a jerk in comparison to the Ross expy).

Boogerman's creators tried to go through kickstarter and even had earthworm jim as a playable character for one of the reward tiers

Old game I used to play on SEGA. It didn't make it though

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Earthworm Jim in that Boogerman reboot would have been sweet. Shame about the Kickstarter being unsuccessful.

An actual Kickstarter EJ game would be impossible since David Luehmann works for a third party company today. Forgot what the company's name was.

 

[FalKoopa]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

First Teen Titans, then Powerpuff Girls now this. Yup Cartoon Network is in a dork age right now.

Why. Seriously, why?

Seriously, Ben 10 along with Alien Force and Ultimate Alien were some of the best shows on CN when they were airing, before we got bettern stuff like Adventure Time, Gumball and Steven Universe. Please don't actively try to shoot yourself in the foot and ruin your legacy.

Lets not forget, Cartoon Network still has good shows among the bad.
Adventure Time
Regular Show
Gumball
Sonic Boom
Gay Rocks
We Bare Bears
Something I probably forgot

That actually makes me sadder. CN had finally learnt what audiences like, and yet they're knowingly adding more and mediocre reboots instead of what was working. I can't even begin to understand their thought process.

 

[Erureido]

Well, I finally did it. I just beat Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation!

Spoiler: Thoughts on the final battles

I completed the Chapter 27 battle in one turn because I just wanted get Revelation over with. My method of defeating Anankos here was by pairing Hinoka with Xander and putting them at the top most tile at the start. Hinoka moved all the way until she was one space away from her topmost tile; she then used Rescue to fetch me close to her. I was paired with Mitama for the Strength and Defense boosts. I approached Anankos and landed some good damage onto him, one of which was from Dragon Fang. Once that was done, I had Caeldori paired with Siegbert fly all the way until she was one tile beneath one of the Generals. She then used her Rescue staff to bring Shigure paired with Azura close to her. Shigure then flew Azura toward me. He then switched into Azura so that she could give me an extra attack. Following that, I landed the final blow.

And now the endgame. My final team: myself, Azura, Gunter, Xander, Hinoka, Camilla, Ryoma, Takumi, Oboro, Shiro, Sophie, and Shigure. Shigure was paired with Azura once again so that Azura would have more mobility (he also served as an added healing unit alongside Hinoka). Xander and Hinoka mostly did there job in taking out any extra enemy units, although Xander could go up against Anankos if he needed to. The same thing applied with Takumi and Oboro, only unlike Xander, Takumi actually did attack Anankos a few times. Shiro and Sophie were there solely to deal with extra enemy units; I chose them as my children units since they are among my favorite children units in the game (Shiro is among my top 10 favorite characters as well, and he was a pretty killer unit in this playthrough thanks to some awesome stats all around and some great skills such as Astra, Rend Heaven, and Savage Blow (thanks Camilla); Sophie was pretty awesome this time around thanks to Aptitude from her mother, Mozu, and gaining access to Aegis and Luna). Ryoma was there to serve as an additional attacker to Anankos

What about Gunter? He was only there as pair-up fodder for myself. I completely forgot that his personal skill is a huge asset to Corrin when paired with him/her. Had I not forgot about it in Chapter 27, I easily would've paired him with myself for that battle. Now that I remembered it as I was selecting my units, I knew Gunter would make the perfect Dual Guard fodder for this battle.

Battle time!

Turns out this wasn't as hard of a fight as I expected (though I have to admit grinding all my units up to Level 20 definitely helped here). Ryoma took out the first Berserker, and Oboro took out the first Sorcerer. Xander took care of the Bow Knight, while Shiro took care of the first Wyvern Lord. I chilled around the center at first to wait for the coast to be clear. Into the next turn, Oboro gets damaged a tiny bit by the Adventurer, and a Dark Knight does a small chunk of damage to Shiro. More reinforcements are sent on the left: another Berserker and another Sorcerer. I reach the Berserker and take it out with ease. Oboro takes out the Sorcerer, and Camilla killed the General with a Hammer and took a huge amount of damage in the process. Sophie took out the Dark Knight, and then Shiro took care of the incoming Paladin when Azura arrived to sing her song. Hinoka healed Shiro afterward.

Now it was time to take out the first arm, the one on the left. Ryoma took out half of the HP there and avoided Anakos's attack. I then moved in to land the finishing blow. A Bow Knight and another Wyvern Lord appeared on the right. Xander took care of the Bow Knight yet again, and Shiro took out the Wyvern Lord, this time with a lucky dodge. It took about two turns to transport Ryoma+Camilla, myself+Gunter, and Takumi+Oboro to reach the other side. The good thing was that little reinforcements were sent on the left in this process. Once they reached the right arm, Hinoka healed up Camilla. I then repeated the same process that I did with left arm: Ryoma softened things up (he even activated Astra with the second hit, but some of the attacks missed) at the cost of receiving lots of damage, and then I proceeded to land the finishing blow. With two arms down, only the head remained. Another Sorcerer and General were sent in around this time. I had Oboro tank up the hits from these two. She then took out the Sorcerer, while Hinoka took out the General when it had the right HP.

After that, all my units closed in on the head. Takumi landed 30 damage to it, and he was protected with a Dual Guard when Anankos tried to attack. Ryoma continued to soften things up, and I landed the final blow... and then we had to deal with his final form: Anankos's heart. A Swordmaster, a Sniper, a Falcon Knight, and an Onmyoji were closing in at this point from the top right, so I had to give it my all this turn. Here we go!

Ryoma goes first... and one of his attacks missed. He gets quite the damage once again in the process. I then proceeded to attack, feeling a little nervous after that one miss from Ryoma. Luckily, one of my hits involved the Dragon Fang. Anankos was left with 13 HP at this point. Takumi proceeds to attack. He will do 12 damage, leaving Anankos at one HP short. I forgot that Dragonskin doesn't negate critical hits, but rather just halves them. Guess where this is going. Takumi readied his bow and the critical flash happens. "Oh, that's it," screams Takumi. He lands the killing blow, dealing 18 damage to finish off Anankos. I was flabbergasted. I didn't think he'd land the final blow; I thought I would have to do it after Azura would sing for me, but nope, Takumi got the job done. My favorite character in the game finished off my Fire Emblem Fates playthrough with a bang! What makes it even better was that during the credits, it was revealed that he and Oboro were the heroes for this battle! My all-time favorite and best unit duo were the final heroes in the end! Quite an amazing moment if you ask me.

As for my thoughts on Revelation...

Spoiler: Thoughts on Revelation overall; spoilers abound

I enjoyed the route much like the others. If I had to place Revelation compared to the others, I'd say it'd be in the middle. I think the story wasn't too strong, being weaker than Birthright but still a bit better than Conquest. As for the gameplay, it was definitely a lot better than Birthright since the mission objectives had a bit more variety compared to it, although Conquest still takes the cake for its amazing mission objectives, overall gameplay, and maps.

Though the gameplay in Revelation does have its fault. I really didn't like Chapter 10's gimmick where you had to break through the ice. It was so long and tedious to break through all of it since there were so many items you could get from defeating the enemies. Just imagine how it felt having to go through it all over again when I failed on the first try... when I died against the final batch of enemies near Zola. Chapter 12's gimmick wasn't very interesting either. You literally had to wait for a few times so that a Dragon's Vein would eventually pop up so that you could create an ice bridge that would the boats. You could technically cheese this map by using a flying unit, but if you decide not do it, have fun with a rather tedious chapter gameplay wise. The Chapter 22 map also felt pretty bland for a late-game map, as it looked really bland with it's generic forest look, and the Dragon's Vein gimmick was like Midori's paralogue. TL;DR, Chapter 22's map felt like a repeat of Midori's paralogue, but less interesting.

As for Revelation's story faults, I didn't feel any real emotion for Sumeragi, Mikoto, and Arete's deaths, as we barely got to know them well enough. Those scenes were still moving, but they didn't have the real emotional impact that royals' deaths in Birthright and Conquest have. There's also the Gunter plot twist being ruined with the fact he can't support anyone in this route. The final events of the game felt somewhat similar to Awakening too, particularly that the true villain was a dragon who also wanted to use you as a vessel at some point (hello again, Grima). On the other hand, it did feel satisfying to have all the Hoshido and Nohr units by your side and didn't have to worry about killing any of them in battle... with the exception of Scarlet of course. I can understand why some people didn't like that because it felt to "fan-fiction-y." Something about the Anthony sub-plot didn't feel good either, but I couldn't quite lay my finger on it. I still enjoyed the story more than Conquest's though.

In all, I don't have a favorite version. I really enjoyed all the versions because they all have something that really makes them stand out in an enjoyable way. Revelation felt more like the middle ground between the two versions, but it was still a great game overall.

And with that, I only need to complete the Hidden Truths DLC and the Before Awakening and I will finally start Kirby: Planet Robobot.

One funny thing I found is that the person that voiced Naruto in Latin Spanish also voiced Ben

And also Gumball.

RANDOM MUSINGS OF A BOOKWORM

For any Sonic fans, Sega and the folks at Humble have teamed up to make a Sonic Anniversary Bundle. Personally, I think it's worth paying $10 solely for the two All-Stars Racing games. Wonderful Kart style games, even if a bit flawed. And Transformed comes with most if not all the character DLC. Also, Generations comes with the Casino Night DLC. Check it out!

Been playing Rhythm Heaven Megamix. Love it, even if the "tutorial" drags a bit. Even though I've been playing since the DS game, I like that it's more beginner-friendly than the past games. I'll probably try and sell my friends on it. Tried the Quiz Show bonus game. Was told the Skill Star is ridiculous. Got it first shot. Okay, then.

Also been playing Hyrule Warriors Legends. Really liking the Musou gameplay. Considering trying other Warriors games. Was talking to some cousins about Disney movies when an idea struck: Kingdom Hearts Warriors. Seriously, the mental image of Donald Duck effortlessly plowing through hundreds of Shadows is great. Just imagine, on top of the obligatory Organization characters and Sora, you could really dig deep into Disney characters. Jack Skellington, Wreck-It Ralph, Woody and Buzz, and those are just the heroes!

Anyway, Mighty No 9 still looks sad. I was looking forward to it, but a lot of red flags kept popping up, and now this is gonna be remembered as a train wreck. At least Yooka-Laylee and Bloodstained still look good. And Shovel Knight's next DLC looks promising.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

In real life there is a tribe a humans that have been isolated from the rest of the world

And haven't discovered fire

Or, in the least how to produce it

 

[Radical Bones]

Am I the only one who started playing Fates and stopped? I was so excited for Birthright but geez I found it boring and easy.

Kinda put me off playing Conquest because I just couldn't be bothered.

Id rather sega not even bring those franchises back

I cant see them existing in this day & age. They were made in specific time were it was right for them but that times gone.

The same group of talented people who made those games are gone so there's no point bringing them back.

Sega should focus on what they currently have, Yakuza, Puyo Pop, Valkyria Chronicles, Sonic, Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Bayonetta, and Phantasy Star.

Yo.

A pretty disappointing Golden Axe game that essentially tried to be God of War, but came off as very awkward. Also, the low brow humor dragged it down too.

...Awesome

So Lords of Shadow.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

A pretty disappointing Golden Axe game that essentially tried to be God of War, but came off as very awkward. Also, the low brow humor dragged it down too.

Just a minor correction, there were no finishing moves or fatalities like most modern heck n' slash titles. That's where the God of War comparison falls flat.

But yeah, it's not that great as a Golden Axe game. Still not bad as the PS2 Sega AGES interpretation of the Genesis classic.

 

[FalKoopa]

Why does it have an 18+ rating? What did it do?

 

[Chrono.]

I'd say Golden Axe would do pretty well today if they stick to the series' roots.

Side-scrollers have had a resurgence recently, after all.

 

[Deleted member]

My disgusting plantars wart I've had for months due to my previous people I lived with who were dirty as **** finally came off today! YES. Soon I'll be able to shower without disinfecting everything with bleach. lol

Gonna keep up with the medicine on it for a few weeks though to make sure it never comes back.

 

[Radical Bones]

So I know I've missed the Kirby abilities chat but man PSI, Jet and Mirror are fun.

Didn't realise I missed them.

PSI is so OP against bosses though.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Why does it have an 18+ rating? What did it do?

The number one requirement for most mature action games.

Blood.

Also, lots of swearing too. And topless impaled creatures.

Spoiler

Anankos is not that similar to Grima besides being a dragon, but, unfortunately, his backstory is behind a 6 dollars DLC 2-map pack which I only bought for Grandmaster because godforbid you actually learn anything unless you buy all of the DLC!
It also makes the Awakening trio look like idiots and Lillith is in it to bring some unnecessary "emotional" scene
I honestly don't recommend it if you still haven't bought it, the only reward worth it is the Fell Brand(First Blood is mostly trivial) and the first map is an Awakening one, a rout the map, with reinforcements!
The second one is cool but it would be better as an actual map rather than one restricted to 3 units

As for Rev's story, it doesn't have the glaring bad writing from conquest but it doesn't have the "actual plot progression" like Birthright does(only when you get to Chapter 22 but still)
I also don't like how the main focus of the other two routes is put aside for a new, now certainly 101% evil and dead, kingdom
Hans and Iago basically only show up once and are killed just before Valla, Garon is never given a closure nor fought(and is even worse when the Hoshido siblings get two fights against their parents), Izana dies for no reason, Scarlet falls for you(I'm sorry I had to), Corrin becomes king because I don't know and all of it only happens because Azura just doesn't tell you anything in the other routes otherwise they would all be the same

And I don't even fully understand Valla, is it supposed to be some sort of ancient kingdom or did the "curse of in-universe spoiler prevention" made everyone outside it forget about its existence? What exactly is the Bottomles Canyon, is it where Valla once was?

How did you miss PSI? It's new O.O

Saw talk regarding the Ben 10 sequels. Original was ****ing awesome, Alien Force was also pretty damn good and was surprisingly dark, I only saw a little of Ultimate Alien and was 50/50 on it, and I never watched Omniverse. Seriously worried about how Forever Knights, Vilgax, Ghostfreak, Darkstar, Highbreed and more will become butt monkeys in the reboot. Now I want to binge watch the first 2 shows as a giant **** you to the reboot

 

[Ax^2]

CN already ruined Teen Titans with the reboot, and now ben 10 wtf? Its like they're trying to make the next generation's children more braindead by giving them cartoons that barely teaches them anything. Teen Titans, Ben 10, and all the badass shows they used to have had problems that felt real and actually taught you **** AND entertained you. Now its just like, "look at this cute drawing..... now listen to this joke..... now laugh".

I see. So it was needlessly trying to be dark and mature.

Don't wear shoes then. If you absolutely have to go to work, wear flip-flops or any open footwear.

Should probably show it to someone though.
