#anyway! brain is on the game and that game is Splatoon 3 which is where I also met this boy who is the absolute sweetest to me

[lunar-writes-things]

HI HELLO I AM ALIVE JUST VERY DISTRACTED BY SPLATOON AND A BOY THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO LOVED

[wheredidalltheusersgo]

*grabs Geoff and jangles him around like car keys* I’ve got an au!

So if you don’t care about splatoon in any capacity theres these silly little guys named Callie and Marie, they’re basically pop superstars and also news anchors for turf war for whatever reason. there are these events called splatfests where you’re given a would you rather and you pick a side and then those two sides duke it out over a weekend to see which teams the best. Anyways in the final splatfest the teams were Callie vs Marie and Marie won. Callie got a bit salty and depressed and she got brainwashed by the main antagonists of the game and the plot of the second game is just finding Callie cause Marie went looking for her.

Now that that’s out of the way I can actually explain the au.

So for the ratings ™️ Geoff sets up this segment during the aftermath of would you rather questions where people would call in and vote and they were silly things mostly harmless. Then when his obsession with ratings got worse the questions became more intense (?) (he started pitting contestants against each other to cause drama) so Bridgette got fed up and the last would you rather segment had the two of them pitted against each other. Bridgette wins and Geoff is seemingly okay with this. (He isn’t) and continues on like normal. Next aftermath episode he just doesn’t show up and then he’s declared missing cause no one’s seen him in a hot minute. :3

Turns out while he was sulking Chris is like “hey, you look off, how about you come with me and put these on while your at it” gives him these massive bulky sunglasses and Geoff puts them on cause my guy is this surfer bro frat boy of course he’s gonna put on these sunglasses and then BAM hypnotized!

I’m not entirely sure if I want to set this in the splatoon universe or not so just have a human design for now

The arts kinda old but I still like this design I might update the art if I feel like it but I’ve got so many ideas my brains solution to it is to not work on ANY of them sooo.

Anyways hope you like it :3

BRO????? THIS IS A BANGER AU HOLY SHIT I KNOW PRACTICALLY NOTHING ABOUT SPLATOON, BUT DAYUMMMM!!!!

Geoff is not immune to hypnotism, and Chris knows exactly how to manipulate him. His ego would never lead to anything good, anyways.

i think some folks who follow me here will be happy to know i'm playing side order right now

same folks may be wondering where all my splatoon art and such went, and the truth is i hyperfixated so hard on the media i got completely burnt out! i've barely been able to touch my switch in the past year, which is unfortunate. sometimes autism has hands </3

but i've built up some courage to touch my switch again and i'm now getting through the early bits of Side Order! i can feel my love for the game prodding my brain now so perhaps you'll see some art soon?? no promises...

anyway ya side order time

[qrupafjzvm1]

birthday!

a neatly-folded letter is placed under a bottle of vanilla extract.

pretty sure it's been there for more than a day. you have a feeling that you were late.

hello hi if you're reading this i'm probably going in pmd to become an eevee WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

if i'm not please return this where you found it thank you very much

anyway what the heck is this letter about.

i have a tradition that started on another site where i'd talk about what I've done for the year and my resolutions for the next.

it's a gaming site, sooooooooooooo not much fanfare is possible in those posts. only about the game and the community.

so i decided, since i'm using like 5 different sites now, why not make 3 recaps?

so yeah this is one of 3 you can find, honestly would rather you don't find any of the other ones but who knows :shrug:

this one's gonna go very in-depth about fandom stuff! well, as much as i can, anyway. i didn't do much this year.

ANYWAY! first 6 months had absolutely nothing. i was locked into irl stuff and honestly had no time to think about anything else. ended in complete failure btw.

so yeah life was miserable

and then vocaloid happen.

whoo boy, fun fact: i didn't understand why people liked music they can't understand the lyrics of. like I'm a lyrics kid, i need lyrics to sing them songs, how can you enjoy a song without singing it

yeah turns out you can and WHOOOOOO what a turnaround now i'm rolling all around for a trillion years and a night while getting mesmerized and ok i'll stop

vocaloid would later bring me to other Japanese songs which i also love (yorushika anyone? pls recommend some more too)

anyway then ES happened and yup i can dream again that's great

yeah 2 years of depression and half a year of failure really takes a toll out of you, but then ES and PMD came from heaven and rescued me from the grasping hands of hell (no depictions available)

the fandom (and pokemon as a whole) probably brought me back to life in many ways i thought only techno's vids could do sooooooooooo yeah i love 'em

got an eevee plush recently actually can anyone recommend me a small pouch to go with so eve can be an explorer

oh and also ssrpg but that's honestly old news and you guys probably don't know 'em too so we'll just pass that

and splatoon, and doraemon (you didn't expect that did you), inside out had a page for a while, i was joining a dozen fandoms lmao

anyway so big problem. i can dream again. i have like, a full a4 page of fic ideas, in 11px times new roman. i can't write any of 'em.

no, i'm not saying that like i can't can't, it's more like i put myself down to write and 10 million things happen in my brain and now i'm playing the same boring games and can't write for naught

truly a curse (i'd call it adhd but i cannot get to a therapist so yeah that ain't happening)

the plan is for eve to be my hyperfixation so i can focus better? i mean i hope it works

anyway resolution!!!

i mean when it coms to fandoms my only resolution is to write more fics. i'ma be honest it's only that. you really shouldn't expect much more.

actually you can expect much more i'll try to pick up drawing at some point if i have time

so yeah that's the end of this random rambling, honestly i wanted to write more but the page's ending and so is my time, the gate to pmd's closing in like 15 minutes eek

sayonara (i'll be back with a fic i swear)

=================================================

there's something on the back of the page. "why did you expect me to use the back of a page. i am disappointed in you."

[thatguysamaniac-blog]

Every now and then a conversation sparks up round the water cooler at TGAM Towers that goes along the lines of someone asking "So is gaming mainstream yet?". Hours, insults, fisticuffs and a reminder on policy on worker in the work place later, inevitably the conclusion is a firm not yet.  We're not expecting an overnight transformation. But what would it take?  We have game inspired video games at the Box Office (okay so they're rarely great), Final Fantasy menus in restaurants, Splatoon and Pokemon collaboration ranges with Uniqlo, LEGO collaborations with Blizzard, Midway and SEGA. Museum exhibitions on video games, design and art. Gaming content seemingly dominates large swathes of the Internet from Youtube through to Youporn. Yet admitting that you choose to spend your time playing video games every now and then still feels, in the UK at least, akin to admitting that you strictly only eat the faces of babies because that's where the softest meat is.    When Does This Pre-Amble End? When it comes to the real world, specifically the high street, video games themselves have virtually no presence at all. In fact it's got worse since our budding interest grew in the 1990s. Arcades are all but dead, few cities have a dedicated game retailer (you might be able to find a grotty copy of NBA 2018 in one of those laptop/mobile repair shops), major supermarkets stock perhaps 4.5 games and media stores in general are critically endangered. TV never manged to 'get' gaming and even though Esports is making huge strides it's still not managed to topple the likes of darts, snooker and cricket from their prime time perches (or even get broadcast at all away from the Internet).  When we first got into gaming we'd wet our pants even when video games penetrated the mass media in the lamest ways from those Lucozade Tomb Raider ads. to the awful why-can't-anyone-crack-gaming-content-on-TV shows and even feigning support for those Resident Evil films when there was frankly nothing else on the horizon. However, now that Netflix is a national sport we're almost drowning in a rich and diverse soup of game-related content. Most of which is total pants. Some of which is bonkers and dare I say some might even have appeal beyond those who would call themselves a gamer (and cringes at the same time because nobody over the age of 12 unironically calls themselves a gamer). Gaming content is so prevalent on Netflix, it even has it's own category, two in fact! Does this mean gaming is mainstream yet? No you babyface eating monster it doesn't are you mad?  Gaming Shit Currently on UK Netflix (Alphabetically) The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 Okay so for all the hype up top, a lot of this stuff is cheesy kid's cartoons. This is a 30 year old cheesy cartoon loosely based on that hot new video game release Super Mario Bros. 3 and although a smidgen better than the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.... it's amazing this franchise didn't just die in the 90s. Remember King Koopa and Princess Toadstool? 13 episodes. 13 episodes too many.  Angry Birds Can any lawyers out there help? Is there some EU mandated law that means video game tie-in media has to come out decades after the thing it is based on became culturally irrelevant? Three seasons of this steaming mess and I've not got to the will to work out if this is related to the movie, the sequel movie out THIS YEAR(?), the toons series or how it will fit in with the WHO IS ASKING FOR THIS CONTENT 'long form' cartoon out in 2020. For those of you younger than 10, i.e. the target audience for this stuff, Angry Birds used to be a video game. Black Mirror Sometimes very video game inspired, sometimes not, this series makes us question our relationship with technology makes us feel even worse for prodding a phone screen and writing swears to other 14 year olds online. Recommended watching but not all in one go mind.  Castlevania Supposedly a decent anime version of the games. I've not watched all of it because I only played Castlevania 64 and Dawn of Sorrow and if you don't understand who any of the characters are, it's reaaalllly slow and boring. Worth a try if you actually have engaged with the critically acclaimed series unlike us.  Digimon Fusion Ergh. Dirty. No. Bad Mega Bloks. No. Dinosaur King Ahhh dinosaur games. Archaeologists have found ancient scrolls that record the Dinosaur King was actually a video game and collectible card game from 2005. This is the series from 2008 that absolutely is not based on Pokemon at all and mixes anime style and really really bad looking CGI.   Final Fantasy XIV: Dad of Light Okay, this series is actually brilliant. Remember how Pinball Wizard was a feature movie advert for Super Mario Bros. 3? Well this is a series length advert for Final Fantasy XIV told through the heart warming story of an awkward Japanese man and his awkward relationship with his awkward recently retired Dad and he tries to rebuild that relationship by getting him into Final Fantasy XIV because they used to play Final Fantasy together. Each week is a new challenge as his Dad quits because of a mechanic he doesn't understand that helpfully his son and his guildmates help explain. Passable on it's own but elevated to must watch by a few scenes that use familiar Final Fantasy sounds that get this glorified advert tugging on the heart strings.  Halo Shit Includes Halo 4: Forward Until Dawn, Halo Legends and Halo Fall of Reach. The first one is live action and frankly awful. Legends is to Halo what Animatrix was to the Matrix and worth a watch. I've watched Halo: Fall of Reach six or seven times and I can't tell you what happens so try it perhaps? Hi Score Girl Weird anime homage to early arcades told through the relationship of a nerdy arcade kid and an aloof posh girl who is very good at video games but not allowed to play them at home. Watch if you you always wondered about turtling in Street Fighter 2 but didn't actually look it up in the last 30 years. Probably very nostalgic for 30 something Japanese gamers. Which isn't us.  Ingress the Animation I've impressed myself that I didn't miss this. Remember Ingress the AR mobile game that nobody had heard of  until it got a Pokemon Go reskin? No neither did I. Well apparently someone along the way believed so strongly in the Ingress vision that they commissioned an anime series in 2018. Really slow. Extremely Japanese. If the game was anything like this then we can understand why nobody has heard of it.  Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) This appears to have been pulled which is a shame as it was alright. Apparently, I'm reliably told the events of this film are really important to the context of the game and only told in this film. Errr tough anyway you missed it here.  Minecraft Story Mode Fuck off. Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures Perhaps takes the award for being the least relevant television tie-in ever. We got two seconds in before reaching for the revolver and the sweet release of a bullet kiss to the brain. All the tropes of Saturday morning cartoons with none of the charisma. Remarkably there's also a Halloween and Christmas Merry Berry short to make both of those holidays even more intolerable. Brilliant soundtrack though.   Pixels Probably the best worst video game related movie of all time. I'm not sure who the audience was when it came out and with each year gets more and more obscure. It stays the same amount of crap though which is a lot of crap.    Pokemon Want to watch only the first and last series of the anime and whatever random films seem to be on Netflix at the time? Knock yourself out. For us this is the UK being shit at commercialising this shit at its worst. Its very worst. The entirety of Pokemon has never been available in the UK at the same time ever. We never got VHS/DVD releases for most series or cinematic releases for some of the films. The Pokemon TV app frustratingly cycles episodes in and out and bizarrely Netflix is missing the middle 91 seasons and the first 38 films. It doesn't fucking matter anyway every episode is the same except the latest season where every episode is the same but set in a school BECAUSE WE'RE ALL CHILDREN AND WE FIND SCHOOL SUPER RELATABLE. There's also a creepy birthday video, hilariously with characters from a season otherwise not available on Netflix. Is it too much to ask to employ one person part-time to curate this shit? Rabbids Invasion File under striking whilst the iron is... you know what, I can't hate on the Rabbids. I really want to but honestly they're brilliant and most of their games are too. Probably brilliant. Strangely only the 4th season is available...?  Red Vs Blue The series that built the house of goofing around in games. Early seasons have not aged well at all. How did we put up with the awful sound and even worse 'plot'? 124 seasons of this madness though so if you're in palliative care and want to speed things along...   Resident Evil: Afterlife Hysterically, only the middle film is available serving the incredibly niche audience of people who like the Milaverse Resident Evil films but are four films behind.  Skylanders Academy Remember the smash hit wallet biting Toys to Life game series that ran itself and all the imitators into the ground from 2011 to 2016 and now fill attics and sheds the world over? Well now you can enjoy the 2018 animated series with all handfuls of your favourite characters. Set in a high school. There's also a weird 1 minute long happy birthday message thing that a lot of the kid's shows have done on Netflix so if you really hate your kid and want to let them know you should show them that on their birthday I guess.  Smosh the Movie Is this video games? They look cuntish enough to be Youtubers and this movie is exactly as awkward as you'd expect when Youtubers try to do something proper with make up, production values and nice cameras. Like that *cringes* Game Grumps series. Or when that *mega cringes* green haired kid did that Fortnite dance at that thing. Suggested watching if you're need that extra push to do the right thing and end yourself before it all gets a bit Fallouty round here. Sonic Boom This is the weird one that all the furries like. Tomb Raider I think the rebooted film before the current reboot? Is casting ladies from the North of the UK to be Lara Croft still a thing? In this movie Lara Croft, I kid you not, is a Deliveroo driver and... it does pick up from there but in a very formulaic and inoffensive kinda way. Video Game High School (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) And be fucking thankful. What if instead of lessons at school you played different video games? Live action series with hands down one of the worst cast of actors of all time. Ridiculous premise (which of course later sort of became real with several Universities running esports programmes) glad it got removed to be honest. Yokai Watch The new new Pokemon with 80% less appeal. Not 100% sure the game series is still going. Children's Shows and Toilet Contents So there we have it. No doubt there's a few I missed and some of this may have disappeared by the time you're reading this. A rich smorgasbord of children's cartoons and questionable content that got a pass because it's video games. At the time of writing, there's virtually no adult content and currently no documentaries. Which is a shame. If they wanted, Netflix could become the de facto place for curated traditionally produced gaming related content from Street Fighter live action movie and animated series, the CG Resident Evil Films, Pinball Wizard, King of Kong, Silent Hill one and two, the Dead Space films etc. etc. Instead it seems that they're content to maintain this weird ever changing half complete line up of irrelevant at launch factory manufactured kid's shows and single films from a series. Perhaps they are right though, there's no point competing with YouTube and Twitch which now host infinity hours worth of quality content that gamers are already spending millions of pounds on supporting. Is gaming mainstream yet? Looks like we need to wait until one of the grumpy white middle class hacks at the Guardian produces an op-ed on why they're giving up on Rabbids Invasion despite everyone at dinner parties talking about it or how Smosh the Movie made them bicurious one evening.  It's perhaps better to stay in the margins of the old media whilst defining new media (at a ripe young 40), after all REALLY PUNCHY FINISHER. Right?

The Games of 2017... so far

Inspired by a buddy of mine’s blog, wherein he listed his games of 2017. I decided to write up my own record of what I played this year. There are some notable missing games on my list, and that’s more of I haven’t gotten around to getting (to) them yet. Some games like Resident Evil 7, I haven’t played yet because I haven’t been able to track down a PlayStation VR yet (damn you crazy Japanese scalpers and your lotteries). Anyway, I’ll begin my list with

The Oldies (games that came out before this year that I finally got around to playing or just felt like replaying for various reasons).

The Last Guardian

I started this game late last year and eventually finished it at the beginning of this year. Like everyone, I struggled with the controls and getting Trico to follow my orders. I trudged through and finished the game. The ending was quite satisfying despite how tedious the journey was. Was it one of the best games of last year? Probably not. Was it worth experiencing? Definitely.

Final Fantasy XV

I heard mixed things about this game before I finally started playing it. I kept those impressions in check and played it for myself. The first half of the game is very good. The latter half, not so much. I didn’t think an open-world setting would work well with Final Fantasy, but surprisingly it did. I didn’t feel super attached to the characters or story, and was pushed even farther away when the characters pulled complete 180s. (Gladio, why do you suddenly gotta be a dick?). That said, the game wasn’t as bad as some people claimed it to be, but it wasn’t great. It’s a very middle of the road kind of game. (Ha!) Check out my review of Final Fantasy XV on YouTube for more of my thoughts on the game!

Katamari Damacy

I saw this game was on sale as a PS2 classic on PS3 for like $3 or something. Crazy cheap! I’ve played a few of the Katamari games before, including this one but never actually completed it one. I rectified that with this game and enjoyed it just as much as I did before. It made me wish they would make a new Katamari game on consoles that was mobile, free-to-play bullshit. Put it on Switch please?

Overwatch

This is unfair to list because it’s an evergreen multiplayer game. I came back to this game twice this year because of the events they do every known and then. Once was for the PvE Uprising event which I briefly played. The other was for the 1-year anniversary event. Whenever I play just for funsies, I usually just do the Mystery Heroes mode because it’s pretty low-stakes, and it gives me a chance to try heroes I don’t usually play as. Splatoon 2 is out soon, so I’m afraid that game will replace this as my go-to multiplayer shooter.

Devil Daggers

I’m not much of a PC gamer, partially because I primarily use a Mac and partially because I can never wrap my brain around Mouse and Keyboard controls (excluding MMOs and RTS’s). Devil Daggers is a game that I found out about early last year, but it didn’t come out for Mac until pretty late last year. I found it on sale for $2 which is $3 less than its original price. After getting used to the controls and getting in the flow, I was hooked. My best score so far is like 80 seconds. But I think the appeal of this game is comparing your score with your friends’ on the leaderboards. Unfortunately I have no friends (who had this game) and so I generously decided to buy the discounted game for three friends. Two of which haven’t even touched it yet. The one friend who did play gave up early until I egged him on to beat my score. He eventually did and I haven’t played it since.

==========

Games of 2017

Disc Jam 

Disc Jam is a 3D reimagining of the competitive Neo-God classic Windjammers. I haven't played this game as much as I'd like but that's mostly due to its focus on online multiplayer, which I have had no luck getting into a match. The local multiplayer is ok but I don't see myself sticking with it for long.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

My first real game of 2017 was none other than Breath of the Wild. It was a great way to kick off the Switch launch and really benefits from the handheld mode. The game doesn't mess around though, I died within the first five minutes. As you learn how the durability, cooking and stamina systems work, the game is more manageable. With better equipment and upgrades, combat becomes trivial. That aside, the best thing about this game is the massive open world. Discovering and completing shrines never gets old--except those combat trials...

SnipperClips: Cut it Out Together

SnipperClips is a game that caught my eye because of its interesting concept and because it came out when there were no other Switch games. Solving the puzzles is fun and I enjoyed working together with competent players.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Mario Kart is another early Switch game I picked up during the launch drought. I think I got into this one more than the original game because I was determined to get Golden Mario, which requires you to win gold on every cup on 200cc. Also the new battle modes and arenas are fantastic additions.

Mass Effect: Andromeda

One of the biggest disappointments of the year so far. I liked the Mass Effect series a lot and I was legitimately excited for this reboot. Unfortunately, everything about being a pathfinder fell flat. Every planet you settle has the same tasks for you to complete and the conflicts you dealt with weren't interesting either. The combat is probably the most positive thing I can say about this game which was good. Overall, this promising game was quite boring.

Persona 5

Excuse the hyperbole, but Persona 5 is fucking rad! The game oozes with style and satisfies the JRPG craving people have been demanding for years. While I may have spoiled myself with last year's Tokyo Mirage Sessions, I loved this game as well. The battle system is the best the series has ever been to date. While it does fumble some parts of the story, there are some pretty elaborate plot twists. I think I prefer Persona 4 to this, but it's still awesome in its own right. Highly recommended.

Yooka-Laylee

I've been following this game since its lowly kickstarter origins. While I didn't contribute to it personally, I was still eager to see how a modern-style Banjo-Kazooie game would fare in 2017. Unfortunately, it still plays like a 1998 game with all of the quirks of that era. It satisfied my 3D platformer collectathon needs, but I'm hoping they'll polish up the mechanics in a sequel. If you want my slightly longer take on this game, check out my review!

Snake Pass

The other 3D platformer homage plays very differently from Yooka-Laylee, but has many of the same trappings of that game. The levels are much smaller in scale but are filled with secrets for you to discover and collect. The biggest hurdle this game has is its slightly unorthodox controls and play style. Controlling the snake takes some time to get used to, and even I haven't completely mastered it. The levels are relatively short, but if you're trying to 100% everything, the game can be pretty frustrating with brutal checkpoints and tight margins of error.

NieR: Automata

I've heard many good things about NieR: Automata, and after seeing it on sale, I decided to give it a try. At first the game felt boring because I wasn't feeling the combat or the general vibe of the game. It basically felt like anime Terminator. After completing the first two playthroughs though, things start getting crazy and I knew I had to see it to the end. As unattractive as "playing through the game 5 times" sounds, it's totally worth it.

ARMS

I played the test punch sessions and was convinced that I wanted to play this game. It's a very different fighting game compared to others. Master Mummy is my main as I prefer to be defensive and I like his ability to heal himself. I also enjoy baiting opponents into grabbing me and then countering them with my giant megaton punch. Also, I don't care what anyone says, the motion controls are garbage.

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers 

This is the worst example of a Capcom cash grab where they charge $40 for a port of a 9-year-old game that was $15. The appeal of grab 'n go Street Fighter and some discount points on my Amazon.JP account were enough to convince me to get it, however. While the game seems like a ripoff, it’s still better than Street Fighter V.

And that’s all folks. See you in about six months with my final Game of the Year 2017 list. If you want to see my Top 10 Games lists for 2016 and 2015, you can view them on YouTube.
