Monolith gave their reasoning on having a big *** spider becoming eye candy

Our approach to Shelob and a lot of these characters is that they're spirits. They're effectively angels or gods, and they take on different forms depending on what their needs are. Shelob and her mother are these elemental spirits, so she can take on the form of a great spider, because that's absolutely terrifying, but she can also take on other forms, ‘fair forms,’ if she's communicating with Talion or Sauron."

"Shelob goes into the giant spider form after Sauron lets her down, and leaves her for dead. A spider is a creature that is singular and alone, and she's not interested in dealing with humans. She's building up this great grief and resentment, and by the time Talion comes along, that's been her form for so long. Talion almost forces her to step into this lighter form, in order to guide him. You almost see a mothering aspect in their relationship, so some of that resentment is lessened by their relationship."
Any Tolkien fans ok with this?

They can do what they want because it's already been said that their games are non-canon to the actual continuity of the Tolkienverse.
Though they could have opted to make Shelob a half-Spider/half-woman thing instead.

Speak for yourself, I was planning to get a New 2DS XL to replace my regular New 3DS XL, and now I'm even more conflicted with myself.

EDIT: It seems like this New 3DS XL will be exclusive to the US.
Now you 'muricans can stop complain about the EU having a better Legacy Edition.
Click to expand...
I can't even get the Special Edition let alone the Legacy Edition because apparently Canada is too far from the US to have it imported....:glare:

I've been harassing Nintendo on Twitter about opening pre-orders for it here...

So the latest chapter of "Opossum Tries to Get Celica Without Spending Money" came out today with the release of the Tempest Trial banner.

Tried the same thing with roughly the same orbs and failed too but with no 5* units (both a good and bad thing I guess). Three of the sessions didn't have any red orbs, ouch. Thankfully we will be able to replenish our orbs a good deal when Tempest arrives.

Nice on getting Sonya though!

Hey, guys. I'm back. How's it going, losers?

Welcome back bro.

For me, eh, I think I am going to stop to go into debate when it come to what I love. Because honestly, I'm really bad at making a good argument without bias or taking the other opinion too seriously. Really, as I writter, it's a curse of taking the most obvious troll or little remark without saying stupid in return because of your emotions on the matter. I really hate that part of myself.

Well I recently found out that I need to have gotten all of the treasures from every Cloister of Trials in order to get Anima in FFX. And I missed the one in Besaid.
Which means that I'm going to need to beat Dark Valefor in order to get the treasure from the Besiad Cloister.
........
I'm going to need to get Yojimbo first and grind for both AP and Gill aren't I?
Also, I recently found out that Valefor is a girl.
I thought it was male for most of my playtime.

On a brighter note, it's my Birthday today!

Yeah, I'm glad there's still some time left. Plus the trials should be even easier now that I have Sonya as a bonus unit, since she deals much more damage than Genny does. :p

Who knows, I may get Gray too (or instead, haha) since they share a color. But hey, Gray's cool too. It's just Celica is my single most wanted unit. :laugh: But honestly getting any five star locked unit is nice.

Hope you get Celica too!

Sonic Mania VS Mode revealed.


Unfortunately, it doesn't have online play, which I was really hoping for, so that's my first big disappointment with the game. There's also no excuse for it since the mobile version of Sonic 2 had online play.

Also, Dissidia NT Closed Beta dates announced. Tagging Chrono. Chrono. because I know he got in.

Curious what games will be played at the Championships.

I mean, we had an invitational with Splatoon 2, Pokkén Tournament DX, & ARMS a couple months ago.

It's gonna be a hectic for me since I'm moving out soon.

Hopefully this doesn't conflict with that and I get to play.

I uh... decided not to wait and broke open my wallet once again lol. I got her with a speed boon, and also a Katarina on the way to boot which is incredible because I've been wanting to try out an owl tome team. Unlike Boey and Mae, she is locked behind five stars so I figured it would take forever to get it started but now I can try it. :)

How has the new Arena mode been? Haven't mustered the motivation to do it since we don't know what the currency is for. :S

So this leaked, it's an eSports Proposal video for MvCI.

It says pretty much what we all suspected that the game is being marketed towards the eSports crowd.

Capcom also plan on making it their main eSport game by 2018.
