I just remembered Psycho Pass was a thing.

Yeah, that's probably the only Urobuchi show I can back 100%. It's really good.

Just stay away from everything after season 1.

There's a really sweet Easter Egg in Spyro Reignited Trilogy dedicated to some fans suffering from cancer.

Although I was aware Stephen Hillenburg's ALS and knew his days were numbered because of it, it's still really sad to hear this news. Spongebob was a major part of my childhood growing up, and I still look back on those first three seasons of the show quite fondly, not to mention the show spawned many great memes that still made me feel nostalgic about the show. It was all thanks to Stephen Hillenburg that he made such a great show with some really great humor that left an impact not only on me but so many others as well.

Rest in peace, Stephen Hillenburg.:(

Hmmm, many of these new servants look pretty interesting. Also:

>Koyanskaya's true identity is revealed to be someone from the Tamamo Nine.



I think pretty much everyone saw that coming considering how she had many Tamamo-like traits visual-wise and also had her art drawn by Arco Wada, Tamamo's official artist.

Boy, this Tamamo Vitch sure sounds nasty based on the description I've read of her so far. She looks almost identical to that one member of the Tamamo NIne previously shown off in one of the first trailers for Cosmos in the Lostbelt, but that one was labeled as an Assassin; this one is apparently an Alter-Ego. I guess this means the Assassin Tamamo that was shown earlier is not Tamamo Vitch, but someone else. I gotta look at what other members of the Tamamo Nine were listed and perhaps draw some speculation from there.

And dammit on the Urobuchi part. Here I was trying to avoid the Urobutcher spelling, but I just had to put the t in there, huh.:facepalm:

First three episodes of Season two start out with some promise.

Then it all goes downhill so damn quick. Made me real sad cause I loved the first season.

While she's based on one of the Tamamo Nine, it's possible that her whole personality and whatnot is based on Daji, The Chinese version of the malevolent Nine-Tailed Fox, who is either the inspiration for Tamamo no Mae or is Tamamo no Mae. That said, Daji's main detail is that she is very very cruel and is held responsible for the fall of the Shang dynasty, by her corruption of King Zhou. And she was also notable for this:

Daji's greatest joy was to hear people cry in physical torment. Once, she saw a farmer walking barefoot on ice and ordered his feet cut off so she could study them and figure out why they were so resistant to low temperatures. On another occasion, she had a pregnant woman's belly cut open so it satisfied her curiosity to find out what happened inside. To verify an ancient saying that "a good man's heart has seven apertures", she even had the heart of the minister Bi Gan (King Zhou's uncle) dug out and subjected to her scrutiny.

Daji was best known for her invention of a method of torture known as Paolao (炮烙). A bronze cylinder covered with oil was heated like a furnace with charcoal beneath until its sides became extremely hot. The victim was made to walk on top of the slowly heating cylinder and he was forced to shift his feet to avoid the burning. The oily surface made it difficult for the victim to maintain his position and balance. If the victim fell into the charcoal below, he would be burnt to death. The victim was forced to dance and scream in agony before dying while the observing King Zhou and Daji would laugh in delight.

So yeah, considering her appearance in China, it's possible her cruelty may be based upon Daji's connection to Tamamo no Mae, who is often either another Fox Spirit like the one who possessed Daji or is the same fox spirit. But even if Daji and Tamamo aren't the same, their legends and the Throne of Heroes do connect them together by default of their legends connecting them together.
As for her being Alter-Ego, I think the reason she was made an Alter-Ego despite her Trailer stating otherwise was the fact that some dialogue or something said that all Tamamo Nine are Alter-Egos by default, except for the possible class they can become, like Tamamo Cat being Berserker, but Tamamo Cat mentioned she can also be Alter Ego.
Anyway, if you want a link to the Tamamo Nine, there's info here.

You won't find major info on all of them besides the currant 3, but you can get a glimpse of the names of a few of them, their personalities and what they look like.

I love that I can make my fave Battle Network virus battle music a wild battle theme in Crystal Clear.

I've been playing through Mega Man 8. It's pretty fun and still looks amazing as far as 2D sprite games go. Though it's not my favorite of the Mega Man games. That'd probably be MM3, MM7,MM9 and MM10 being real close.

Got through the first 4 Robot Masters and Duo. Made it through half of Astroman's stage and saved it(I'm going through the MMLC2 versions). JUMP JUMP SLIDE SLIDE gave me some trouble, especially the first half, second half was either easier or my mind was used to the suffering. I know a Wily stage brings it back.

Mega Ball is OP and should be brought back. It's a free Double Jump and deals some good damage. R.I.P Electronic Communication though.

When's Soul Calibur gonna have an afro that isn't comically huge? I can't make Black Dynamite without a normal Afro.

So, the Game Awards are coming up soon. You guys got stuff to look forward to? I don't think Smash stuff will actually happen, but they did say they have more reveals this year than any show previously.

I don't care for the awards themselves too much, as I'd rather play what I know I like. But maybe we'll get some Metroid Prime 4 stuff, or Bayonetta 3. For DLC, we could see another Tekken character or Spider-Man's 3rd DLC trailer. I think Mega Man 11's supposed to have DLC, but it wasn't outright confirmed. If they did, a playable Protoman and Bass would be nice, but really, extra stages would be even more hype. Or a Season 2 announcement for Dragon Ball FighterZ.

Basically, there's some stuff I'm hoping/looking forward too outside of Smash.

The meme/highlight reels people make are also great.
