    Devilman: Crybaby

    I unfortunately already knew about the ending due to me being in the know about pretty old manga, but I think the adaptation was pretty damn good for what it was. It certainly was rushed in some areas, and possibly needed an episode or two more to really flesh things out. I almost think the fast...

    Anyone get the hate for Skyrim?

    While I dont think most people "hate" it, it does have a sort of "Dark Souls 2" like backlash to it. In that it was initially very well received, but after some time passed, more and more people seemed to see flaws in it, and eventually got tired of the game. This isnt true for everyone of...

    Zero Punctuation: Fifth Console Generation

    I still have a saturn that I use from time to time. Back in the day I had Shining Wisdom, Rayman, Tomb Raider, Alone in the Dark 2, Night Trap and Croc(that I can remember off the top of my head). Never got Knights into Dreams, but heard good things about it.

    The Newest Legacy WoW Server has Already Been Shut Down

    That isnt fan made though, blizzard made it, and people used their code, art asserts, and whathaveyou. Blizzard loves people's fan art, songs, comics, and whatnot, but this isnt that. This is actively using asserts that blizzard owns without permission. I would love to see legacy servers...

    The return of F.L.C.L.

    The only show I can think of that did even anything close to that was Saga of Tanya the Evil. A show which takes place in a fictional version of world war 1 where magic is involved, and the main character is a soldier for the (not) German army. It more or less shows the (not) German army as the...

    Overwatch Promotes Bad Game Design

    I definitely agree with what you said. It is hard to say what they could do with him if they wanted to continue to identify him as a tank however. They would have to add some sort of mitigation or something. Or as you put it earlier, maybe he was supposed to be more of a tank in MOBA terms...

    Overwatch Promotes Bad Game Design

    I think this is literally the only time when Epyc wynn has any sort of actual point. Roadhog is classified as a tank in game, however, he is really a dps character with a high health pool and a healing ability. He has no actual tanking abilities to speak of. He doesn't have a shield that can...

    So I finally tried Attack on Titan

    It's a purely okay series with a fantastic director(he was the guy that did Death Note and High School of the Dead). Unfortunately, the anime itself is rather slow, and the second season is a mess(said director did not direct the second season). It's a decent popcorn anime. I think it was...

    Overwatch: Worth it now?

    I am unsure what you mean by "Tumblr- The Game". Do you mean their cast of diverse characters, or just the general artstyle? I am a tad confused. It's not like these characters are anywhere close to tumblr's fetishism of non-white races. As for the Skill cap thing, I think that patently...

    Has any game ever achieved a magic system as a power fantasy?

    Maybe Orcs must die? It had a nice mix of magic, melee, traps, and ranged(not magic). Had you summoning traps and shooting fireballs at incoming orcs. Or playing a mage in WoW. Blow things up fast.

    So are rednecks/religious people the new boogeymen now?

    As everyone else was saying, Rednecks/religious people been the "boogeymen" for ages by this point. Although, I do have a bit of a concern with Resident Evil 7 being included in that. The game actually pretty explicitly shows and tells you that they were actually a pretty normal, nice...

    What makes One Piece so great?

    I was going to write out some stuff, but most everyone already covered what I wanted to say. So, I will write out why I think your perception of the manga is the way it is. I think a lot of people were in your position because of the One Piece 4kids dub. We are talking about manga here, but I...

    Hollow Knight - Bug Souls

    I would say while both take pretty big inspiration from dark souls, Salt and Sanctuary basically tries to be a 2d dark souls, while Hollow Knight tries to be it's own entity. Really, it takes a lot of gameplay from 2d platformers and metroidvanias, and I feel is more closer to Shovel Knight then...

    Hollow Knight - Bug Souls

    Ah yeah, not knowing where to go really does get a bit overwhelming at times. I have gotten lost for hours going the "wrong" way before heh. I feel it kind of adds to the atmosphere, even if it's a bit tedious. I still havent finished the original Shovel Knight. Damn good game, but I got...

    Hollow Knight - Bug Souls

    So recently I picked up the game Hollow Knight, and since getting it, I havent been able to put it down. It's a fantastic title that I ended up loving more than I thought I would. I think aside from the finely tuned gameplay, I loved the game because of it's presentation. It really comes off as...
