So, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance runs on the lowest settings at 1280x720 on my laptop, but at below 60 FPS and above 40 FPS with some weird dips to under 30 FPS during the in-mission briefings. I'm not sure what to call them, but you sometimes get calls during a mission and Raiden can walk around while he talks with whoever. I have no idea why it drops frames during those segments, but whatever. So, it's playable, but the game's physics is tied to the framerate and some of the later bosses become much harder or don't work properly if you can't get consistent 60 FPS. I might be able to get that if I lower the resolution even more, but it might make things really hard to see since everything would be scrunched up. On the bright side, keyboard and mouse work really well and blade mode is pretty fun with the mouse since you can slash by drawing with your mouse. I will need to get used to moving the targeting ridicule during blade mode with the WASD keys, though. That said, the default key binding is a bit weird with how the sprint button was on left Ctrl instead of left Shift which was blade mode. Someone on a thread on how playable keyboard and mouse was for this game said it works fine and that they switched it to sprint with left Shift and blade mode with left Alt. Maybe left Ctrl should be the dodge slash which is on Z by default.
Another thing was that I forgot to mention how I love the way the announcer in The Next Penelope says the countdown for races. The way she says "Go!" just sounds really nice. It also has an echo that trails off and is timed late enough that makes it sound desperate and sad. My idea is that the announcer or the part when "Go!" is said, is Penelope which considering the story is her searching for Odysseus and dealing with the demands of the gods' and the decline of Ithaca, the way "Go!" is said and trails off would make sense. I'm probably just overanalyzing things and the reason is sounds like this is because it sounded cool.
For FEH stuff...

Freebie 4* +Spd, -Atk Barst from promoted Hector's banner. I'm pretty sure legendary hero Hector's outfit is based on his great lord outfit, Cipher cards and his ending portrait show him wearing white clothing under his armor, and his playable sprite in Blazing Blade; Hector's official artwork shows him with brown pants, but his sprites in Blazing Blade show him with white pants. The only weird thing now is regular Hector and Wolf Beil. Hector's promotion is weird since he starts out as a lord, an infantry unit, like Eliwood, but becomes basically a general, so his movement doesn't change. Regular Hector being an armored unit in Heroes means if they were to introduce an unpromoted version of him and Eliwood, then he'd look the same, but have a different weapon and that would be stupid to say the least. At least Eliwood would be on-foot and possibly lose some armor compared to his promoted, cavalier self.
Blazing Blade Hector winning CYL2 probably means he's not going to be old Hector, the Hector from Binding Blade, either. For instance, PoR Ike won CYL1 and BH Ike is based on PoR Ike. The problem with that is Hector uses axes for all his incarnations and Wolf Beil is his personal weapon that hasn't been introduced yet. In Blazing Blade, he can uses swords and in Binding Blade, he can use lances. If they stay true to Blazing Blade, then they're stuck with giving him an axe or a sword, but if they bend it to having him wear Uther's armor like the past CYL1 being based on the characters' fathers, family, then he could use lances. If they were to introduce him with Wolf Beil, he'd be the fourth, axe-wielding, probably armored Hector. Wolf Beil would have effective damage against armored and mounted units, but it would need something else or it would pale in comparison to Armads. Personally, I think at this point, Wolf Beil might be better off on old Hector despite Wolf Beil not existing in Binding Blade. The other option is Brave Axe or Silver Lance and those aren't that appealing. Watch old Hector get Master Axe or Meisteraxt if they continue the Meisterschwert renaming which would be disgusting since armors have access to Bold Fighter and Vengeful Fighter. Anyway, that would free up CYL2 Hector to using anything else and maybe let him not be another axe armor Hector. Swords I'm not sure what they could give him while lances, we still have the Rex Hasta that doesn't have any effects in Blazing Blade, so they could do whatever they want with it.
