I don't think I could get into Steven Universe...

I mean all I have to do is hear "lesbian space rocks" and it's hard to take it seriously....

It just sounds like a bad B movie from the 60s.
It's basically Tumblr: the cartoon.

There's an episode where a distinctly female characters turns into a big, buff hairy wrestler.

There's a part where a male and female character fuse and the gender of the character in question is kept ambiguous.

All the female characters have different body types.

Everyone is a lesbian.

The environments are pretty awesome and I like some of the humor, but the show just didn't gab me.

When does it come out?
Yesssss someone else converted.

I dont think we were ever given a date so probably not for a while. I mean it's hand drawn stuff so it's gona take even longer and they havent started full production as far as i know. Probably not for a year or two or three i would assume. . .

dude
i've spoken to toby before and been in a skype chat with him
it was definitely his intent for it to be, to a certain extent, an Ess Jay Double-You game
Well.... Duh... No **** Sherlock. Don't appreciate the attitude.

It being progressive wasn't the problem I have. I like that it's progressive. The Royal Guards were cute and Mettaton is a hoot.

It's a group of fans that make those elements bigger than they are.

Undertale should not be the game of the year just because it has those elements for example. It shouldn't automatically get a pass for being progressive.
Oh nooo!! the boogymen are finally corrupting videogames!!!! quick, vote for all the other games in the Best Ever Totally Matters 100% list to get the SJWs out!!
Nice preemptive strawman.

ok yeah that makes sense
it was phrased in such a way that sounded (to me at least, though i was clearly off base) as though you were denying that the game is... "progressive", let's say, to begin with
which some people do
my bad

but yeah tokenism is dumb

Not to start anything big, but seriously, if you don't want people calling you a SJW, you shouldn't really get upset over what people have to say about them and even back them. Just some friendly adive member to members. Was just on my mind, nothing personal.


...Are there any other traps then? Pretty boys? What about potentailly your own avy?

If not, eh, at least I like straight up handsome men too~. :p Just wanted to see one with a trap.
Other traps? No
Only guy that you can gay marriage is Zero in the Nohr route
Most os the guys in Fates are husbando material actually, like your two brothers, Xander and Leo :p
Avy? Are you talking about my avatar? If so, I'm sorry but that is really a girl :p

Is "all of the female characters have different body types" really a negative?

This isn't even a social justice thing, but I've always been an advocate of varied character design, especially in cartoons/cartoony games. Granted that should carry over to the male characters but from what I've seen it more or less does in SU. Giving characters different body types greatly contributes to that. I don't see a problem with that. It's like when people moaned about Sonic Boom making Knuckles buff. I didn't see a problem with it. If it was the main series I would have been against it because it's needlessly tampering a classic design, but with Sonic Boom being an AU, I thought it was fine, since it was a design choice that made sense. Knuckles really should be buff rather than having noodle arms, and so I thought it was a good design choice that made total sense. I WOULD be an advocate of them using that design in the main series if it weren't for the fact it would make no sense contextually for Knuckles to suddenly be buff, but for Boom it's completely fine.

I'm also an advocate of gay relationships being in kids cartoons because really, if our entertainment shies away from it, then of course kids are going to grow up to find it weird. People go on about how we shouldn't find gay relationships weird and how it should be seen as normal but kids are going to have a hard time doing that if they aren't exposed to the idea early on. I'm not saying the show has to be centered around it but there's nothing wrong with it being there. For every straight relationship in a show, there would be no harm in having a gay one somewhere, even if it weren't for the main characters.

Also that first part sounds like they were directly trying to parody DBZ. IIRC, I heard the fusion concept in this show was inspired by DBZ.

We're talking about favorite games? HERE WE GO.

In no particular order:

Sonic 2 - First game I got really into
Sonic Adventure 2 - Say what you will about how poorly its aged, but it was a cornerstone of my childhood
Final Fantasy IX - My first FF and the game to get me into RPGs
Pokemon Ruby - The first Pokemon game I ever got really into
World of Warcraft - I've dumped years of my life into this beautiful, stupid game
Halo: Combat Evolved - Halo 3 is better, but nostalgia + optimal maps for local make this my favorite
Half-Life - the first shooter I ever manned up and played, Doom and Quake were too scary for little Finalark
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Uchart2 is better, but this was the first PS3 game I ever owned and I played it nonstop
Soul Calibur II - Years later this is still my favorite fighting game
Mass Effect - This game helped me fight through depression and pulled me out of one of the lowest points of my life

Since you talked about SU earlier, let me tell you it's an awesome show with a slow start but then it's drugs.

Woah, woah woah. I never said those things were a negative. I was just comparing it to tumblr. I couldn't get into it because the show dragged its heals on getting its overarcing narrative started and aside from Pearl I didn't really care for the main cast much.

I have no real interest in watching SU personally but at the same time, I feel like I would have to someday because I feel like it's going to be a culturally significant show going forward.

And if I happen to make a friend or lover who's a big fan of it then I'll REALLY have to. :V

Careful about that then, as most people, including myself, tend to interpret any "this is a representation of tumblr" thing to mean a negative. For the obvious SJW connotations, which happen to be a laaaaaarge part of the SU fanbase too.

After doing top 10 games for the 3rd time I realize I really dont have a top 10 because it shifts so often.

Only top 3 have stayed the same
1. Kid Icarus Uprising
2. Xenoblade Chronicles (I hope this gets replaced by x)
3. Wonderful 101

after that I have no idea. Spyro 2 (first game ever) TF2, Halo 2, Metroid Prime 3, and Elder Scrolls Oblivion are all pretty amazing too.

OH HELL FORGOT TO INCLUDE ES4, SPYRO 2 AND WARCRAFT III. There's also Diablo II, Crash 2, Path of Radiance, the Breath of Fire series.

Making a top ten is hard.

I've seen a couple episodes of Steven Universe, it's pretty good. I'm not a fan of it by all means, but I can still give credit where it's due.

Why is it always "SJWs are evil!" or "White straight men are evil!"?
Why can't we just agree every side has its rotten apples?
There is literally nothing wrong with a show being "progressive" or whatever you wanf to call it
There's a part where a male and female character fuse and the gender of the character in question is kept ambiguous.
Because it was a fusion of a male and a female, just do the math
All the female characters have different body types.
I... I can't even
Everyone is a lesbian
Two(three?) characters are lesbian
Rose was probably an Extreme Omnisexual
1. Ooooh, he's pretty handsome. I'll take it. :p

2.Well, I was going the Nohr route for good reason, I saw teh husbando material~.

3.Nah, by avatar I mean your main playable character. I was aware that your avatar pic here is female.
1-Yeah, I would probably go for Zero if Foleo didn't exist :p
2-Nohr is for real men, Hoshido is for *******
3-I dunno? I haven't seen the avatar creation system but I don't think so. I actually wonder if you can do a trap in Xenoblade X's character creation

Well, I've joined the world of PC gaming. I've got Undertale and Ori and the Blind Forest now~

Got up to Snowdin in Undertale, now I'm trying Ori, I've got a feeling it's going to be one of my favorite platformers. The controls are amazing and Ori moves like a dream, overall the most fluid 2D platformer I've played since Rayman Legends.

I'm honestly surprised that Yo-kai Watch is in 10 place. Considering how often you talk about it, I thought it would be higher.

Welcome to the Master Race

Don't forget your free copy of TF2 on the way in. Mind the children and the MOBA fans. They can be a bit hostile. Enjoy your stay and remember you're here forever!



I really need to look into Ori. . .I keep hearing about it and I have no idea what it is about. Now its controls have been compared to rayman (bold claim) and now i need to know.

My point was that it has a lot of themes that appeal to stereotypical tumblrites, and I didn't necessarily mean it in a bad way.

But **** it, I've already shot myself in the foot so any attempts at clarification are irrelevant.

My only gripe with the game end up being the fact it's so hard to befriend Yo-kai which ended up ripping my experience somewhat, everything else is memorable IMO.
I heard in the sequel, it resolves that catching problem, and the overall quality is so much better when I seen gameplay footage of it. That should climb up to my top 10 relatively quickly.

I can completely say that any mistake you'd make would be entirely your own and not due to clunky controls. Ori jumps when you say jump, how you say jump, etc. Everything is as smooth as butter but without the slippery-ness. The wall jump is so good...

Won't get TF2 because I hate first person shooters. :happysheep:

So anyways...

No offense to Undertale fans here, but..

Some think that it deserves to win the GameFAQS poll, and beat Super Mario World. Multiple people have proclaimed Undertale is superior to Mario World and Mario in general.

Kinda embarassing.

I haven't played undertale( and don't plan to, but it sounds really over hyped/talked about to me. That's just my( probably unpopular) opinion though.

Speaking of platformers, Shovel Knight was originally on my Top 10 list, but I decided it's a bit too fresh on my mind to really put it in just yet.

Because at the end of the day, Shovel Knight is still an indie, 2d-platformer, and not a ground-breaking (...) one. I might only remember the game for the silly-but-awesome character designs and music one day.

I agree. Really, I find it best to just embrace what you like rather than worryibg about what others like or don't like.

1-Yeah, I would probably go for Zero if Foleo didn't exist :p
2-Nohr is for real men, Hoshido is for *******
3-I dunno? I haven't seen the avatar creation system but I don't think so. I actually wonder if you can do a trap in Xenoblade X's character creation
1. Indeed. :p I'm marrying him since Foleo isn't avaible to.
2. Yes, indeed. This is why when my friend buys both for the two of us, I'm having him give me that one. :p
3. Hmmm.... I wonder that too....

Though to be honest I'm not the least bit surprised. Granted in my subjective opinion that is utter bullcrap in every way, but it is the flavor of the month. It's the same when people hyped Shovel Knight to hell and back, or The Last of Us.

i doubt it will win the gamefaqs poll because it's essentially a popularity contest so it'll be chrono trigger or oot or whatever
i think metroid prime should win overall, but that's just because it's my fave
...that said, that's extremely condescending

Thanks for the advices, guys.


About SU... it's awesome.
It was pretty boring in the beggining, but now it's pretty cool, like The Amazing World of Gumball, IMO.

About Undertale, yeah, it's overrated, it's an excellent game, but just... not the best game ever.

And about Yokai Watch not being Fumi's favorite game, wat.

My top 10 favorites:
I kept my mouth shut when people starting saying they didn't like Undertale and I even held my tongue when some of them were dissing Steven U, but this video finally got a reaction out of me. I just... what even is this and why does it exist? Yokai watch was already balls off the wall crazy enough, who in the world thought it needed this? ESPECIALLY at 0:22.

If I recall Meat Boy, Braid and Binding of Isaac were all all in the center of that indie circle jerk once too.
