"Leo is low on health but he can finish this Ninja with Shura in Attack Stance"
*Vantage activates*
"WHAT?"
Was almost at the end of it too
****ing skills I forget to check, this is the second time this happens to Leo
At least that'll bring Keaton back to life

 

[FalKoopa]

I didn't play RD but everyone I know that did says the defense maps were terrible
Conquest Chapter 10 is widely considered one of the, if not THE, best maps in the entire series and for good reason

The defence maps in RD were not badly designed themselves, but unfairly hard as you would be facing Ike's army who was much more leveled up compared to Micaiah's army.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Yooka Laylee got an update. We also have our villain.

Ah yes, Chapter 17.

Where hard runs go to die.

Two memes for the price of one.

Nah, Chapter 17 was easy on hard, beat it on my second try
But Lunatic though... oh boy
Master Ninjas have both Poison Strike AND Grisly Wound so they'll be taking 40% HP of whoever they attack
Vantage Ninjas
Lunge. ****ing Lunge.
At least Shura can almost completely trivialize the map by himself, reclassed him to Mechanist so he has the bulk, movement and attack to take care of the ninjas
The only problem is that I have to take it slow and the map takes forever
On a sidenote: Kumagera is a great Axe user and Spear Master Haitaka is ****ing cool

 

[ChikoLad]

Oh, and Sonic Channel's new wallpaper is out. Really cool one.

I'm conflicted with this one, because to me it's either:
A) A throwaway meme joke because the kids still like those right?
B) A commonly found, but still neat joke regarding the model differences between Awakening and Fates that so happens to have a meme as the punchline.

And I'd believe either one of them.

 

[Frostwraith]

I don't see the meme in that NoE tweet. I only got the reference to FE: Awakening's lack of feet in the character models. What's the meme?

Anyway, and completely unrelated, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress may be called "Hype Train: The Anime". Anyone who's been watching this anime will understand why. Today's episode was particularly stellar, especially that last scene. So epic.

 

[Z25]

There was another one today, actually. Which I also missed **************

I saw that and then found and watched last weeks. This weeks was really good. Looking forward to next weeks!

Been a bit since I played KI:U but completed Chapter 4 (also fixed those annoying inverted controls)...Goddam those Reapers are even more annoying than they were in Smash Run...

But this music's pretty cool...

I'm digging this soundtrack...

Also Eggplants with legs

excuse me why is sonic doing the naruto run in promotional art

Maybe it's because Boom Sonic is just Modern Sonic with sports tape and a scarf, but I much prefer how Yuji Uekawa has drawn Boom Sonic compared to the other artworks and renders of him.

Still, it's an awesome piece of art, definitely have it as my wallpaper now.

 

[Frostwraith]

http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/what-are-those

Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying. Had no idea that was a thing.

Goes to show how much I care about memes. lol

 

[ChikoLad]

Sonic has run like that plenty of times before.

I could be wrong, but Sonic may have done it first. I know that when I was growing up, when kids ran like that, it was called "the Sonic Run".

Maybe it's because Boom Sonic is just Modern Sonic with sports tape and a scarf, but I much prefer how Yuji Uekawa has drawn Boom Sonic compared to the other artworks and renders of him.

Still, it's an awesome piece of art, definitely have it as my wallpaper now.

I'll be using it as my laptop and phone wallpaper too. Something about it is just really heartwarming.

Also, you probably like Boom Sonic more here because of the side mouth.

Well.
You're not wrong.

We all already know that new Pokémon Sun & Moon info is happening on June 2, but the time of day has now been confirmed:

10 PM JST
6 AM PDT
9 AM EDT
1 PM CEST
2 PM BST

FTFY. Probably won't be able to catch this one live unfortunately...

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Tfw people are talking about Vines memes.

I still see no appeal in those short "funny" videos to this day.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Is adult sonic going to be all blue? It looks like Sonic has hit puberty and has arm hair now but still no hair on his stomach or face

Vines are to videos what tweets are to normal text.

Sweet. Jeff Goldblum is the Grandmaster in Thor: Ragnarok.
Karl Urban is Skurge. Most likely just fodder for Hulk to beat up.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Haven't seen this posted yet.
We've got some Yooka-Laylee news.
http://www.playtonicgames.com/raising-the-curtain/
It tells us the story and shows off the main antagonist.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Notice anything that's different on the following two screenshots?

Believe it or not, you're actually seeing my very first texture hack for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U; Flying Mario. And as an extra bonus, I made some custom portraits and a stock icon to go with him.

 

[Pazzo.]

Jeff Goldblum will be the Grandmaster?

Independence Day 2 ending leaked.

 

[Z25]

So, some food for thought.

The sun and moon news falls on the same day the episode focused on the truth about Ash greninja does.

So it's likely that's the sun and moon news.

To further back this point though, anyone know what time the episodes air in Japan?

Jesus Christ, it's like they thought it was a good idea to take some tips from the totally radical Disney XD with their advertising.

 

[_Sheik]

I didn't play RD but everyone I know that did says the defense maps were terrible
Conquest Chapter 10 is widely considered one of the, if not THE, best maps in the entire series and for good reason

I mean. They were some of the best IMO. Or at least, they had the best music. Although I won't post a link to the one track I have in mind because it's way better to discover it while actually playing the game, I can definitely tell it provided a fair amount of epicness and atmosphere, and Alight (Storm) didn't hold a candle to it.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Is anyone here can do some Smash?
I will like to do some free-for-all (1v1v1v1) and this place seem fairly actif.
So, do you think you are free for some casual match?

 

[_Silver_]

Jesus Christ, it's like they thought it was a good idea to take some tips from the totally radical Disney XD with their advertising.

That reminded me of when they made a post on Twitter about Slippy and dat mem- err.. boi

 

[RodNutTakin]

Have some Mario Sunshine.

SiIvagunner's apparently received a truckload of rips, judging from the playlists section.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Jesus Christ, it's like they thought it was a good idea to take some tips from the totally radical Disney XD with their advertising.

The cringe is real with this ad. We aren't in the 80's anymore.

Watch they have Eminem advertise Zelda U next year.

 

[Red & Green]

Have some Mario Sunshine.

And again, GilvaSunner teaches us the definition of pain.

**** that dirty river.

Literally kills you in like 3 ****ing seconds.

Jesus Christ, it's like they thought it was a good idea to take some tips from the totally radical Disney XD with their advertising.

Even if it tries too hard to be hippedy hoppedy with the zaggigy zawgy teen taens, you gotta admit dat graphics are totes coral, amirite?

Damn Nintendo, back at it with those beautiful graphics. Spatzy, man!

 

[Guybrush20X6]

For the love of God, what do the rocks and bait do in the safari zone?! I have so much contradictory info going about. Do I throw rock, bait or straight to safari balls?

 

[ChikoLad]

Chapter 3 on Lunatic is RNG bull.

Seriously, there is only one possible strategy for victory, but it keeps failing for me because RNG hates me.

 

[Frostwraith]

One could argue that TMS#FE is cringeworthy by itself... lol

I'll give credit where it's due: I've heard it's a good game in terms of gameplay and actually challenging. The fact they have Japanese audio in the Western release is a plus too, I suppose, especially after the FE Fates and Xenoblade X fiascos (the fact their prequels had dual audio options makes it complete nonsense and I played FEA and XC with English voices).

Anyway, this is the most literal form of a hype train I've ever seen in my life. Seriously, I'm in complete awe over this scene.

Oh, and spoilers for the 6th episode of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress since these are the last 5 minutes of it.

The animation, the music, the intensity. Holy ****, I loved this so much I can't help but share. Naturally, someone already ripped the scene to post on YouTube.

I'm talking about gameplay though
And Chapter 10 does all of it greatly, it's hard but fair.
Also, Dark Wastes is the music that plays on it, not Alight(I'm pretty sure that doesn't even play on Conquest)

 

[A Distant Demon]

But this music's pretty cool...

And it stays good.

KIU's soundtrack is spectacular, especially with how varied it is.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Have some Mario Sunshine.

SiIvagunner's apparently received a truckload of rips, judging from the playlists section.

Speaking of rips, if any of haven't seen the newest Megalovania rip I highly recommend you do.
I had a bit of giggle watching it yesterday. It was pretty great

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Are we going to see Enchatress in Thor Ragnarok?

She's like Thor's greatest foe next to Loki. Also having a female as a major villain in a live action Marvel movie would be awesome seeing how that's never really happened before outside of some X-Men movies.
