I'm no expert writer myself, but how the hell is a friend forcing a friend to be kissed by another friend considered a happy ending?

Also, I still loathe Makoto's voice to this day.
Maybe they were big fans of Clannad's bad gay ending, but wanted to make a more uncomfortable twist on it.

If that was supposed to be humor, then they overdid it.

Im dumb

First I tried to redeem the download code through the eshop
must be in game

so then I went through Branch of fate and played the whole dang chapter (as short as it is)
then it only gave me the option to add funds

then I tried to just get it through explore paths
that didnt work


Turns out I just needed to go to the Dragon's gate. not chapter playing required.

whoops.
I guess I still got the game uber cheap so that's cool

I found this funny picture.

Probably makes sense in context.
It does actually. Basically, there are these man-made machines that are called Golems which are used everyday for civilizations benefit and the Pizzabread Man in the other image is one such Golem you can fight, add to your team, etc. Anyway, the Main character's Arm is from a powerful God-like Golem Creation that is still sentient from the main character. Basically, the story "starts" when his Arm screws the main character over by freeing the slightly lesser, but still powerful Ice Queen Golem that was sealed under the city who quickly destroys the city and kills his best friend.

Enchanted Arms' setting is just what you would expect from From Software if you played Lost Kingdoms and Dark Souls and it's quite an intriguing setting.

The gameplay is decent and is a mix between everyday 4-party team battling and Strategy gameplay. Basically, you can move your 4 man team around a 4x4 field and use moves against enemies on another 4x4 field and the actions happen like a picture animation. You have one character do an action, but that character doesn't perform them until you have done the actions for your other characters on your field and choose to perform them after you are done with the rest.
Once you choose to perform the actions, the characters start doing their actions in the order of what you wanted the characters to do. Meaning that even if the current playing field showed the first character looking like they are going to hit one of your own with their move, the later characters won't actually move in that spot until after the first character has performed their action. Like I said, it's a strange take on a 4-man battle with Strategy gameplay to it.

Anyway, the Settings and gameplay are actually very decent. But like I said, the writing is horrific in a whole lot of ways. There is only one main party member(that isn't the main character's best friend who becomes unplayable after the prologue) that is actually decent and it's the big silent guardian who doesn't say much and even he has moments of bad writing. The other main party members.......:smash:

Don't forget the poorly voiced, obnoxious gay stereotype that uses a sax as a weapon.
There's him too. What makes me sad about him is that he actually becomes better when you see him later and you don't know if it's actually him or not.
I'm no expert writer myself, but how the hell is a friend forcing a friend to be kissed by another friend considered a happy ending?

It's the happy end because:
The best friend who was supposedly killed at the beginning, was turned a puppet for the main antagonist and when you ultimately fight against him, you destroy what's controlling him, freeing him from the main antagonist's control. The Happy End is basically the Best friend being saved, while there is the other ending in which the best friend doesn't survive.

I had a lucid dream where I actually reached through a mirror like it was liquid

Behind the mirror was a medicine cabinet and that's it

But I found it fascinating it felt like it was real.

The mirror had my face on it, but the face didn't follow my movement, like it was a really low quality game. It was me in a kind of scary image, my head down but with glaring angry eyes looking forward.

I just woke up from a nap

Clannad can be good at times, then there's the fact that the eyes are either too big or the proportions look off in some scenes.



No, you do not look cute at all.

Nice of you to ask. :)

In about 40 mins my "day" will be much better. Nothing better than getting off work on your "Friday".

How about you, Mr. Guy?
I feel ya, 9 hour days can really tire you out, and of course, I'm always well.

Try to enjoy the last 30-Something minutes of your work day, and the rest of your day as well.

Ask someone who tanked their high gold rank down to mid silver in Overwatch anything.

At this rate, I'm gonna be bronze :(

I keep seeing these articles pop up about how Super Mario Run was unsuccessful. Despite the fact that it's raked in a ton of cash off downloads not counting the actual people who bought the game. AND THEN it hasn't even released on the Google Play store which has, arguably, a much larger and dedicated gamer-base. Am I missing something here?

Speaking of which how many of y'all have an Android? How many of you have an iPhone? If you have an iPhone did you buy the game?

Here's some humor for you.
At the very least, watch it to the end.

I have the game myself. But man, trying to beat the game is hard because of the Toad Rallies.

Considering bronze is the lowest rank in Overwatch, you may as well give me a "You Tried" star.

Got you there.

Might as well include this since it's basically the same thing in this context.

And so, I have decided how the final four days of the Battle Ballot will go for me:



Yep, I'm voting for Takumi for the last couple of days. I'm doing what I can to make sure he remains in the top by the end of this.

Something tells me I'm the only person in this forum that has been voting for Takumi. I could be wrong though.

Might as well show my Battle Ballot now:

I was going to vote for all different characters everyday. When I saw Ike was in the lead, though, I had to try and make sure he remained there. Especially if they're only counting one entry. I'll finish the ballot off with Priam though. Just to give it a little flavor.

I wonder if the people that voted every day will get an extra bonus. That'd be great!

I duo/trio queued with people. Easiest way to rank up.

Six man is the best way to actually learn the game, but it's also one of the toughest because it requires your whole team to be coordinated.
Solo queue is dumb, but we all know that.
Quad is fine
Five man is risky, cause that one person could make or break everything.

I also play at +60fps

"Champ, why did you vote for Ike, twice"

Because if I didn't, I would be seen as not only a fraud but a liar and I have to trade in my FE fan membership card

Today's Twitter convo was interesting. Me and this new friend are alike in many ways.

Glad I was able to meet some new folks over there.

At least now I know where all the Ike votes came from.

This is going to be a big post...
Actually here's a neat topic, mains in the fighting games you've played...
Smash64-:link64:
Melee-:linkmelee::falcomelee:
Brawl-:link2::falco::zerosuitsamus:
Smash4-:4link::4zss::4cloud:
Soul Calibur II-:linkmelee:,:yoshimelee:mitsu
Pokken Tournament-Weavile, when released :212:
Bloody Roar-Hugo

As you can see I don't play too many fighting games...
Smash Bros Melee: :roymelee:
Brawl::wolf::ganondorf:
Smash 4: :4feroy::4cloud::4shulk::4robinm:

Pokkén Tournament: Gengar, Gardevoir

Super Street Fighter IV Arcade: Yun, Random button, Ibuki
(only) Best thing in Street Fighter V: Rashid

Guilty Gear Xrd: Sol Badguy, Faust, May
Blazblue: Lambda-11, Ragna, Relius

Instead of politics, let's talk about Ice Cream.

What's your favorite flavor? Mine's Cookies and Cream


Smash 4 - :4zss::4palutena:
Project M - :zerosuitsamus::roypm:
Guilty Gear - Millia Rage
Skullgirls - Valentine
Street Fighter - Ryu
Personal favourite of mine is Choc-mint ice-cream - followed closely by standard vanilla, then hazelnut.

And NonSpecificGuy NonSpecificGuy - I do have Super Mario Run on iPhone, but I haven't upgraded from the trial since mobile is a platform I do not use for specifically for games, unless they're good like how Fire Emblem Heroes is currently looking right now (And I hope it is a good game too), as well as a personal favourite; Final Fantasy Brave Exivus.

Now I finish this with another ballot update -
Screen Shot 2017-01-29 at 6.17.03 PM.png
Only double-voted twice for some of these heroes, but it's getting close to what I'd like to see from the final ballot.

Did my last Lootbox for the day and it's my 2nd one Overall my entire playtime that had more than 1 Legendary in it. One being Junkrat's Fool Skin and the other being my 2nd most wanted Chinese New Year skin, Zenyatta's Sanzang skin.:happysheep: Here's hoping the luck continues.

Also, apparently according to Jeff of Overwatch, there is going to be a batch of skins in the Summer. Don't know if this is referring to a Summer Event or an actual new set of skins for every character. But here's the post: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20745166466#post-5
Also, another dev mentioned they are working on Bastion.
