Beth answers

What is your middle name?

My middle name? That would be my mother's first name, which was Annette. But daddy told me before I was born that he and mommy would discuss using my Grandmas's name. It wasn't until I was born that they decided Annette fit best.

What is your birthday/What is your zodiac sign

Oh gosh, my birthday? It's easy to lose track of days and months now. So there's no telling when I actually got to celebrate it last. But I was born on March 15th, 1997 and if I remember right that would make me a Pisces.

What is your favorite color?

I was hoping this would be a question that was asked! My favorite color by far has to be pastel green. But I also like purple, shades of blue and pink. I think growing up on the farm and watching everything bloom in springtime was the prettiest time of the year.

Favorite movie?

Favorite movie? Is this a way to figure out what kind of person I am under all the years of survival? *Rolling her eyes she looked away to think on the last movie she watched before everything fell apart.* When Maggie wasn't paying attention, I would sneak into her room, snag a few of her books. A few of those were written by Nicholas Sparks. After all, studying math and history books got boring! Out of all of them, the Notebook was my favorite, along with the movie adaptation that I got to watch before the outbreak happened. Even if the movie was a few years old by then.

Do you want a church wedding?

There was a time I did want a church wedding. But considering the way things are now? How there's hardly a church to be found? Not to mention still standing? It would almost seem impossible. So if I *ever* got married, then I would be happy with just my friends and family surrounding me and the person I love.

Favorite clean word?

Okay, don't laugh. But whenever there are people around, that I know don't like cuss words. I will say, fiddlesticks. Fudgesicles and my favorite, bejeezus.

Favorite swear word?

Nothing beats a solid... Fuck. When you're pissed. Or saying shit repeatedly when I'm running away from the horde of walkers and I don't want to scream for help. As that would draw more in.

The writer behind Beth

What is your middle name?

Like Beth's middle name (mine is close to hers.) Its Ann. Sorry, not giving my full name publically.

What is your birthday?/What is your zodiac sign?

My birthday is Jan 9th, 1986, so that makes me a Capricorn! Which is a tad different from a pisces who are supposed to be kinder. xD

What is your favorite color?

Lately, my favorite color has been red. Like a blood-red. Whenever I get my nails done, I haveee to at least have red on my nails. Because if I paint them at home, it looks like a three-year-old has done it lol.

Favorite movie?

I love any superhero movies. I'm a true nerd at heart and can never get enough of any of them. Along with the movie's Lord of the Rings.

Do you want a church wedding?

I actually did have a church wedding. But If I could have, I would've had my wedding on a beach.

Favorite clean word?

Ha.... I cuss more than I say clean words. But if the clean words come out they're either, butt muncher and son of a biscuit eater. The latter more than the first one.

Favorite swear word?

Don't judge me... But the cuss word that comes out of my mouth the worst is cunt... Mixed with a few other bad choice words. I know its a horrible word and a lot of people hate it. But I blame game of thrones for getting me hooked on that word. My other favorite cuss word if you couldn't notice from the last answered question is, son of a bitch.

List of PC games I played as a small child and have the vaguest pleasant memories of now

1. Millie’s Math House (1992)

1992 is also the year I was born! This game is as old as me. So, as you might imagine, I did not remember the names of nearly any of these games and had to do some very specific google searches. The games that were harder to find were the ones connected to big franchises like Sesame Street, since there are of course a billion of those. I did not have this problem with Millie’s Math House, as this franchise did not really get off the ground. Anyway I LOVED THIS GAME! The above is the home screen and the shelves behind Millie the cow represent mini games. I especially loved the cookie game where I think you counted jellybeans, and the pink monster bug guy whose body parts you could rearrange. I don’t think this game was any help in teaching me math because I was always terrible at it and still am to this day. But I had fun!

(READMORE BECAUSE THIS ENDED UP BEING A FUCKING LONGPOST... the more I write, the more I remember!!)

2. Math Munchers Deluxe (1995)

Funny how many of these games specifically are math-related edutainment, considering that this is my biggest weakness in life. Perhaps my parents and teachers were trying to help me, but failed! Anyway, I FUCKING LOVED MATH MUNCHERS! I guess I was doing math or whatever but they had a whole story and characters, with “common taters” (LOL HAHAHAH GET IT) who would comment on your gameplay like it was a sports game. I thought it was so funny and nerdy, I loved it! I love the Munchers Cinematic Universe!!!

3. Sesame Street: Get Set To Learn! (1996)

I think I only played this at school when I was in kindergarten, which explains why I have only the vaguest memories of it and why it took me so much effort to figure out which Sesame Street game it was. But I remember this cookie pattern recognition game like it was yesterday. And the dunk tank with the pickles, too! Wow, everything back then was so bright and colorful and ugly, I love it.

4. The Land Before Time Activity Center (1997)

OMG um.... I’d like to apologize for calling the Sesame Street game ugly. I didn't know what ugly was until I looked this up 2 seconds ago. Sesame Street, I’m so sorry sweetie. Okay so this Land Before Time minigame collection was hideous, and also I think it was really bad. I mean I ate it up and played it for probably days altogether because I was a little kid and I LOVED this franchise. But it had very little to do with the story of Littlefoot and friends, and really the only thing I remember is the dreadful maze game up top, where you tried to navigate some kind of hedge maze that looked exactly like a Windows screensaver and sometimes a T REX WOULD POP OUT AND SCREAM AT YOU. AND PRESUMABLY EAT YOU. I also seem to remember the hedge maze game having awful music and sound effects. Just a terrible aural, sonic and visual experience all around. And a testament to the fact that kids will play literally anything. This game was apparently billed as edutainment as well, which I think is really a stretch. I will also note that in 1998 it apparently came bundled with The Land Before Time Animated Moviebook, which I also played, and which was altogether much better.

I mean if you are making a movie tie-in game for preschool-aged children, this is what it should be: basically a summary of the movie, so we can relive all of our favorite parts without rewinding the VHS tape. And put some minigames in there if you want I guess, it doesn't really matter.

5. Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon (1993)

Let’s take a momentary break from franchise tie-in games to recall Humongous Entertainment. I’m sure you all played some form of Putt-Putt but do you remember Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon? Maybe I should have reviewed it first since I think it really is the first game I can remember ever playing. It is also the first point-and-click game on this list and notable for being the only one so far with an actual original linear plot... it was like an RPG! I really think this game was ahead of its time in many ways. I know the basic story is that Putt-Putt gets stranded on the moon and has to find a way back to earth. I read on the wikipedia page that he is helped by a “lonely moon rover,” who is pictured in the bottom image, and that triggered very strong emotional memories for me. I THINK THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS VERY HOMOEROTIC. I mean Putt-Putt was probably the only person (car...) the rover had seen in years.... sigh. Anyway, you can tell it’s an early Putt-Putt game because Putt-Putt’s design is so weird. He is like an amorphous purple blob, barely passing for a car. and we love him. NOTE: the entire Putt-Putt collection is apparently available for Steam! I love that for him.

6. The Oregon Trail Deluxe (1992)

Doesn’t this look like a REALLY FUN game for little children to play??? No? That’s because it’s not. The Oregon Trail (which was colloquially referred to in my family simply as Oregon Trail, as in, wanna play Oregon Trail? FUCK NO) is a SHOCKINGLY ANCIENT GAME which was originally released in 1985 (!!!!!) for the Apple II. This version was of course very simple and with some quick googling you can find many places to play it in your browser online. It was a simulator of the emigration of a bunch of people west to Oregon along a wagon route in the 1840s, a trip which was apparently DEEPLY FRAUGHT WITH PERIL AT EVERY TURN. According to Wikipedia, the game was designed by a schoolteacher to “teach schoolchildren about the realities of 19th-century pioneer life.” is that not fucking psychotic? ALSO according to wikipedia, “between 3 and 10 percent” of emigrants on the real-life Oregon trail perished. Does that sound like a lot to you? Because that is WAY LESS than I would have inferred based on this game in which you were lucky if ANYBODY AT ALL survived your little road trip after going for long stretches of time with constant notifications that there was NO GRASS FOR THE OXEN. Perhaps the most enjoyable novelty of the game, which gave it replayability, was naming your party; assuming you were playing with a gaggle of schoolchildren, you would naturally name them after yourself and all of your friends, and see who perished first. It was like survival horror for children! What fun to experience the macabre joy of seeing your friends’ names etched upon pixelated tombstones! I also played this with my parents a lot, and I’m sure it was tons of fun for them to watch me grapple with their onscreen deaths, coming to terms with the fact that they would in fact one day perish. Anyway, for some reason this game was massively successful and spawned a whole bunch of sequels, which I enjoyed A LOT, also for unknown reasons.

(Pictured above is the 3rd edition, released in 1997, which I owned at home.) In addition to the significant graphical upgrade (check out those real live actors transposed on an uncanny 3D background!!!), these games included a (HONESTLY VERY FUN) hunting minigame; “UPDATED ROLES OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES” (we, too, could die terribly); a plethora of diseases one could catch such as cholera and dysentery; and random encounters with strangers who could kill you! Oh, does the fun never end?

7. LEMMINGS (1991)

Isn’t that box art great? The creators of LEMMINGS were apparently aware of it being totally dreadful and mind-breaking and decided to power through and subject all of us to it anyway. This game was, as I recall it, a very difficult puzzle-platformer in which we were challenged to strategically prevent an infinite variety of mindless little green-haired fellas from plummeting to their deaths. As you may have inferred, LEMMINGS is the first entry on this list that is not an edutainment game for children, which means I was TERRIFIED OF IT and really didn’t play it very much. I watched my older sister play it quite a lot, and it gave me terrible anxiety. How could one person handle the responsibility of saving a whole race of idiot people from certain doom? I still cannot fathom it.

But apparently, for adults that played it, this game was a bit of light-hearted fun! Good for them, I say.

8. SUPER SOLVERS SERIES (1989-1993)

This series of edutainment games, which honestly in my head are all called “SPELLBOUND,” are apparently all subtitled “Super Solvers,” and titled as follows (in order of these images): “Midnight Rescue,” “Treasure Mountain,” “Treasure Cove,” and finally the actual “Spellbound.” I loved Spellbound for its spelling bee concept; spelling was always my strong suit, so it made me feel like a real champ. In general I think these games were more focused on reading/writing/spelling than anything else, which is probably why I liked them so much, because I liked feeling like a little genius prodigy (and I was probably playing them even when I was way too old for them so I could get that ego-stroke lol). They also featured random encounters with evil robots, and I really don’t know why the robots all had paintbrushes for legs, or why the paint was always pink, but they were very frightening to me. Also I’d like to note that I felt the first flutters of sexual attraction to the MYSTERIOUS PLAYER CHARACTER. Don’t you see it? Look at how sexy he is with his iconic turquoise jacket with the popped collar, his red baseball cap and yellow shorts... king of primary colors.

That’s all for now folks I have to go to work and be an adult, it’s a Tuesday. Tell me if there is anything else CRUCIAL that I left out and I’ll check back later and see if I remember it!!!!

indian american (desi) roman

hi! i relate to roman and ive been seeing posts like these and i got inspired!!

part 2

his name is actually rohan, but he started going by roman in middle school partly as a pun by his friend patton, and partly because “there are like six other kids on our street alone named rohan. i need to stand out! out there in the real world theyll never expect me, the desi kid, to be named roman!”

his parents both immigrated to the US when they were kids and his family followed the ~American Dream~

he grew up in an asian community and rarely saw non-asians until he was in middle school

he does dramatic retelling of ztv hindi dramas and thats where first he got into acting

he’s short and furious

his grandma always said it’s cuz he doesnt drink enough milk

he tries to explain to her genetics so basic that even he could understand

his grandma doesn’t believe genetics. it’s the milk.

his cousins back in india rave about cricket and soccer to him

he doesn’t get the appeal of either sport, nor he understand the convoluted system of cricket

once he was old enough to realize this, he began to despise how even though the constitution says freedom of religion, public schools still make the kids do christmas activities and thanksgiving and easter activities that are mandatory. bc if it theres truly freedom of religion, then shouldnt public schools, a governmental, public organization be fully secular??

he is very upset at the christain centric & abrahamic religion centric view of the world that the schools teach, and how they dont even talk about anything that isnt an abrahamic religion (not even in history class!)

on diwali in high school he sneaks into the administration room and takes over the school PA system to talk about diwali and hinduism and how the world isnt just abrahamic religions

speaking of diwali

he is in LOVE with doing rangoli and always does more and more elaborate ones each year

he tried to help make bhatura once. he was not allowed in the kitchen afterwards

“it’s okay that youre that bad at cooking as long as you marry another indian person who can make you these things, otherwise, ill teach you until you can out-cook me” said his grandma

there was a family reunion once and he didnt know anyone there

he met some cousins for the first time when he was sixteen. it was like theyd known each other since they were babies.

he always feels insecure about doing bad in school because of how high a value his culture places education and knowledge but he cant seem to understand anything

when he was younger his grandma told him if he didnt pass math theyd change his last name from an indian one to the name “smith”

he passed math for the sole reason to not become a white person (because yes roman, thats what happens when you change your last name, dumbass)

his other desi friend told him in her dramatic indian accent that her mom said “youre an A-sian, not a B-sian” in regards to her grades

he couldnt stop laughing for a good ten minutes

when he came out as gay his parents, while not really understanding because being gay wasnt really talked about whn they were growing up, they were extremely accepting

“did you actually think we were gonna be like those christains who kick their kid out because it goes against the bible?” “...” “rohan! learn your own religion! have you even seen the karma sutra?!” “dad, ew”

he is fluent in english and can understand hindi but has trouble speaking it back

his cousins in india tease him and his siblings for their desi accents when he speaks hindi

when theyre teenagers, his cousins teach him hindi swear words

“okay so kuti is, you know, female dog, and then you know how theres motherfucker in english? well in hindi we’ve got bhenchod”

“ASFDGF SISTER FUCKER?? ARE YOU FOR REAL?? OH MY GOSH THAT IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN MOTHERFUCKER I LOVE IT”

he loves doing kathak dance and loves how it integrates sound with the movements and he took classes in it and can do it perfectly

even if he is a partial disgrace for his bad grades, his commitment to kathak, ztv impressions, and indian flute saved his reputation (and also those skills landed him a professional theater role fresh outta high school)

he’s also the biggest defier of the “indians are good at school especially math” stereotype because someone once asked what 2+3 is and he said 1

it wasnt his proudest moment, yet he was proud of himself for breaking down stereotypes, one dumbass moment at a time

speaking of stereotypes

whenever people are racist he just shouts at them and insults them with his Superior Confidence and also to defy stereotypes that indians are just socially awkward nerds who cant defend themselves (looking at you big bang theory)

once he was walking with a friend and they were talking in a mix of hindi and english and some jerk asses laughed at them and were like “hey curry munchers!” and then bowed in a super offensive way while saying “namaste” and pronouncing it horribly wrong

he responded by yelling back at them “we’re in america! speak english!” and that shut them up.

he pretends that being called racist stuff doesnt hurt him, but when he’s alone he lets it show and oh boy

oh fucking boy is he sad because he hates himself and actually lets everything thats said to him get to him even though he doesnt show it and his self esteem is very fragile

he is absolutely in love with vardaan arora’s music, mostly because he is also gay and indian (and very attractive)

he obsessively watches || Superwoman || (aka lily singh) because oh dear are there a dearth of desi creators and actors and stuff and her videos are so relatable and funny

speaking of which

despite his huge resume and experience and overall amazing ability to act, he is yet to get his big break because he declines most major roles he gets because he refuses to portray racist and stereotypical depictions of indians

and also because no one is really race blind and they wont hire an indian lest it become an “indian show”

his grandma is happy in the end because he does settle down with a nice, smart, indian boy who can cook and counteract all his dumbassery ;) ;) ;) *cough* logan *cough*

all in all, he loves his culture and his family (even the family members he’s yet to meet)

#sanders sides #roman sanders #logince #(if you squint)#ts roman #ts prince #desi #thomas sanders #mine #the one thing i dont relate to roman with is bad at school and math because i am the math indian stereotype

The Catman, Adam West

Adam West was born to a family of wealthy philanthropists who advocated for nature conservation and animal protection above all else. He lost his parents at a young age, and grew up under the care of his estranged uncle while his family’s fortune and charities were put in a trust and overseen by his father’s business partner. Once he came of age, he returned to take control of his family’s inheritance, but the trustee tried to fight him upon his claims, ultimately loosing that legal battle. Meanwhile, as he grew up with his uncle, he was trained in all sorts of skills that would eventually aid him in being the vigilante Catman. (What exactly those skills were though vary depending upon writers)

While he was establishing his civilian identity, Adam took the mantle of Catman, to track down an exotic animal smuggler that had actually brought him back to his hometown of Maudison. His infamy as “the Cat” soon spread amongst the criminal underground, and thus he became the protector of the city as new criminals started to crop up, seemingly following his lead. Villains like Dogman, Mouse Man, The Don, and Kanary are just to name a few. He didn’t just stop criminals, he also tried to help people. He met Marisol Wright, a young mutant who called herself Copy Cat, and talked her out of being a thief to instead work with him to stop criminals; he even tried on several occasions to reform the bird themed villainess Kanary (leaving her ultimate allegiances questionable and morally gray). Copy Cat eventually was hurt in one of the duo’s fights against Dogman, and woke up with partial amnesia, so Adam decided to not tell her about their crime fighting and instead let her go of to live a normal life.

He then met a teenage foster girl named Mara Ventura, who took it upon herself to create her own Catgirl persona to try to fight against the drug dealers in her neighborhood because she felt like “the Cat don’t care about the streets anymore”. Fearing she’d wind up just getting herself nearly killed like Marisol, Adam first tried to dissuade Mara from getting into this line of crime fighting, but in the end she convinced him to train her to be a better crime fighter. The two of them worked as a good team until Mara, faced with the truth of her own past after nearly dying when the duo fought against a resurrected Doberman of Doom who had become the avatar of Anubis, decided to go off and find herself with the collective of Cat Warriors, leaving Adam alone once again.

Unfortunately that left Adam alone when the Power Pals fell. He was an active member of the team at that time, and was caught in the end that caused the deaths of several of the team’s members. The event left Adam crippled for a few years physically, but mentally for longer. He became far less effective as a crime fighter, the people of Maudison nearly going as far as to telling him to stop.

That was when a new slew of sidekicks started showing up on his doorstep. First, a young lad calling himself Matter Muncher Lad came calling; he wanted nothing more than to use his powers for good, but the only way to get onto a super team was to be referred. So Catman sent him to join the newly formed Super Teen Team. Then after the Crimson Chin picked up a second orphan to be his new sidekick, Adam decided that was a great idea and found one of his own, in the form of Catlad. Thankfully by this time, Catman wasn’t doing that much crime fighting anymore and Catlad had to do less punching and more Catman watching.

Marisol’s daughter also surfaced and came calling on Catman, demanding to know what connection he had with her missing mother, which is when he revealed the truth about Copy Cat. Despite his offer though, she refused to stay on as his sidekick or babysitter; she also refused the STT’s first few offers to join them as well, not wanting to rally get involved in crime fighting due to the stigma mutants still held in the super hero community.

Catman pretty much avoided most of the super hero drama brought on by the Nega-War, as well as the Age of O.M.A.R. event (despite West Industries being one of the backers of S.T.A.G.E.). He did attend the wedding of the Crimson Chin and Goldenlocks, before the start of the Divided by Civil War event. Catman played a very small part during that event; for the most part he didn’t go into costume and tried to help fund lobbyists to halt the passing of the Registration Act, but after the breakout of Sanquinchin Prison, he did suit up in an attempt to try to recapture some of the escaped convicts. It wasn’t revealed until the after math of the event that Catman wound up in intensive care, only to pass away sometime later.

Each of his previous sidekicks were then summoned to the West Estates by an adult Mary West, to the reading of the Will to pronounce who would inherit the West fortune, West Industries, and ultimate the role of Catman.

Alternate Takes

Catman: 9 Lives

In this setting Adam West became Catman in much the similar way as his main universe counterpart, the main difference though being that his uncle was a member of the Order of Mihos, a secret order of warriors who were charged with protecting the secrets of Leontoplis, the mythic temple home to the 9 Egyptian Cat Warrior Goddesses. The Order were tasked with the job to protect the world from the return of a great evil that the Warriors had trapped a millennia ago, and if they failed to do so, to go and awake the 9 Warriors to save them all. When he found his uncle killed by an agent of Anubis, Adam discovered his hidden map to Leontoplis, and made the trek to the hidden temple in the desert to complete the mission. The storyline ended with Adam become an avatar to the 9, housing the souls of the Warriors in his own body to fight the resurrected Anubis. This miniseries wasn’t intended to be a one-off AU, but due to fan reactions wound up being ignored as the intended reboot it was supposed to be. So the series ended ambiguously with the world being saved, but never confirmed if Adam survived the final confrontation or not.

Catman: The Midnight Hour

This was loosely adapted from the silver age storyline “The Midnight Run”, while taking elements from the 80s era of the Catman books. The story opens up with a more aggressive Catlady beating down criminals, and having the incident being told from the newspaper to a civilian styled Adam West. He’d been taking it easy as Catman lately, and couldn’t let some copy cat walk the streets. The two have a confrontation on the docks, that winds up disrupting the drug deal that Catlady was originally there to stop to begin with. The two get derailed as their romantic subplot takes over, but Catman eventually does indeed take down the leader of the gag doing the drug smuggling, while Catlady (who had apparently been doing her job before his assistance) was reduced to fighting the leader’s female ninja bodyguard.

The Nega-verse

His father was a two bit crime boss, and when an opposing cartel went to eliminate the West family, Adam escaped into the sewers where he stayed hidden for 2 weeks while a gang war ensued above. During that time he was bitten by what one would assume was a radioactive rat, though he didn’t give it any attention at the time. When he went back to the city surface, the neighborhood was in ruins, and he quickly learned that his father was dead while his mother had been taken by the rival gang. He fell into working with the leftovers of his father’s old gang; they were taken in by the new rival gang, not realizing that the little ring leader of this “junior gang” was the son of the old one’s boss. That’s when Adam started to realize that he had strange new powers, like the ability to smell things no one else could, and see in the dark, as well as enhanced flexibility, and well other rat-like qualities. He started pulling little acts of super villainy, mostly sabotaging the boss’ hits and what not. Until finally he confronted the man who killed his father, learning that he was now married to his mother and that she was the one that had betrayed them all. He ended up killing them both and took control of the gangs, and basically runs the city.

Justice Youth United

West Industries was famous in the medical fields for their advancements in genetic disease repairal due to gene splicing tactics. Adam was 17 when there was a lab accident that cost him his father, his uncle who happened to be the lead researcher in their facility, and hospitalized his mother for over a year. Adam was left in charge of the labs, but his father’s business partner (who it would later be discovered that caused the accident) was secretly buying up the company’s stock through shell companies to force the Wests out. When Adam discovered what was happening, he had a breakdown and broke into the laboratory to take whatever he could. The night guard caught him, and in the struggle Adam injected himself with a feline dna solution, which caused him to take on a feral werecat-like form. He wound up mauling the night guard and fled the facility, only to wake up 3 days later in the woods. Realizing what had happened, he made the choice to go confront his father’s business partner; when the man could not be reasoned with, Adam changed into his new man-cat form and killed the man. He easily required West Industries, with no one realizing he was the man-cat. Since then, he has been trying to find a way to either repair his dna and purge the feline form, or a way to better control his feral half while transformed, all while not revealing to anyone what had happened to him, or that he had killed two men.

Scouting Prowlers in MHXX

It is so much better in Monster Hunter XX than it was in MHX.

Every type of cat has a fixed main skill unique to its type, a sub skill, and 2 all-purpose skills. For example with the Heal cat, they all have true heal horn and either cheer horn or armor horn, and then heal Horn/mini barrel Bombay.

Beyond that you’ll see a number of skills, but it’s far from random. There are 39 support skills a prowler can have and they are split into 3 groups.

Group A is 7 big skills that can be the focus of your play style.

Group B consists of 13 strong skills. You’ll notice the two new awesome skills, the farcaster and acorn muncher are in this group.

Group C is a diverse group of 19 skills.

When you scout a cat, it will have a set number of skills from each group. Here are the 7 groupings.

ABBC

ABCCC

ACCCCC

BBBB

BBBCC

BBCCCC

CCCCCCC

Group 1-3 get a single group A skill, and a various number of other skills. So you can never scout a cat that has 2 skills from group A, it’s just not possible. Group 4 through 7 don't even include a group A skill.

There is no right answer into which group is best, but most players agree that Group 6, BBCCCC is the most versitile. In MHX you could teach a skill from one cat to another and in this game you can now teach 2 skills, so BBCCCC allows you to pull 6 skills from a nice pool and still add another 2. Note there are no restrictions on the group of the skill you teach, it can be anything, even the sub skills outside these groups that are unique to the prowler type, like Pierce boomerang from a fight cat.

Re-Rolling Skills

In MHX we had to keep scouting until we got a cat with the right setup but in MHXX you can re-roll skills. Go to the dojo or room service and you can spend wycademy points to re-roll a support skill and get a random different one from the same group. So with time and patience you can craft your perfect cat. If you do the G rank prowler quests that ask you to kill a monster or break a part, you’ll earn a green book item that lets you flat out choose which skill in the group you’ll get in the re-roll; this is faster and easier than re-rolling for a specific skill. If you are rerolling the sub skill, there is only one other choice it can be, so there’s not need to use a book for that one.

The same rules on support skills apply to the 36 passive skills a prowler can be scouted with. They are also split into Group A, B, and C and the grouping is independent of the active support skills (you can have ABBC on support but BBCCCC for passive skills). And like support skills, you can also teach 2 from other cats. As for whch group is best, again, it depends on the cat and your preference. I find it's never necessary to scout a cat with a native group A passive (I recommend BBCCCC or CCCCCCC depending on your style).

Keep in mind you'll want a group that can handle most of everything you want on it natively if you plan to have open teach slots for DLC skills.

After you break through the final G rank boss you can scout cats at level 60-62, so I recommend you focus on doing that first if you aren’t planning on maining prowler, otherwise you'll just re-scout it later.

Do the math; your chances of getting your ideal cat is 1/49, so decide and plan which groups you want for active and passive and check every village for it. The book item/re-rolling let's you focus on that and not the actual skills it has out of the box.

Happy scouting!

'A total blast': our writers pick their favorite summer blockbusters ever

As the season heats up on the big screen, Guardian writers look back on their picks from the past with killer sharks, mournful crime-fighters and time-traveling teens

Face/Off (1997)

Photograph: Allstar/Cinetext/PARAMOUNT

Madman bomber Nicolas Cage stole John Travoltas dead sons life. So gloomy FBI agent Travolta steals Cages face. When Cage steals his face and his wife and freedom John Woos Face/Off becomes the biggest, wackiest and most operatic summer blockbuster in history, a gonzo combustion that flings everything from pigeons to peaches at the screen.

Hong Kong cineastes might applaud a script with roots in the ancient Sichuan opera genre Bian Lian, where performers swap masks like magic. Popcorn-munchers, of which I am front row center, are here to watch whack job Cage and soulful Travolta, two actors who love to go full-ham, play each other and go deep inside their iconographies. Call it hamception. Or just call it a crazy swing that hits a home run as Cavolta and Trage battling it out in a warehouse, a speedboat and, of course, a church. As Cage-as-Travolta gloats to Travolta-as-Cage, Isnt this religious? The eternal battle between good and evil, saint and sinners but youre still not having any fun! Maybe hes not, but we sure are. Bravo, bravo. AN

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Theres been an increasing sense of desperation clinging to the majority of roles picked by Tom Cruise in recent years. Outside of the still shockingly entertaining Mission: Impossible series, he was miscast in the barely serviceable Jack Reacher and its maddeningly unnecessary sequel, his awards-aiming American Made was throwaway and his franchise-starting The Mummy was a franchise-killer. But four summers ago, he picked the right horse just maybe at the wrong time.

Because despite how deliriously fun Edge of Tomorrow was in the summer of 2014, audiences didnt show the requisite enthusiasm. It was a moderate success (enough to warrant a long-gestating sequel) but it should have packed them in, its combination of charm, invention and sheer thrills making it one of the most objectively successful blockbuster experiences in memory. The nifty plot device (Cruise must relive a day of dying while battling aliens over and over again) allowed for some dark gallows humor and a frenetic pace that kept us all giddily on edge while it also contained a dazzling action star turn from Emily Blunt whose fearless Full Metal Bitch wrestled the film away from Cruise. Blame its relative failure on the bland title? Cruise fatigue? Blockbuster over-saturation? Then find a digital copy to watch and rewatch and repeat. BL

Back to the Future (1985)

Photograph: Allstar/UNIVERSAL/Sportsphoto Ltd./Allstar

Back to the Future very nearly wasnt a summer blockbuster. The reshoots required after Eric Stoltz was booted off, then the fact Michael J Foxs Family Ties commitments meant he could only shoot at night all meant filming didnt wrap until late April. Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg duly pencilled in an August / September release.

But then people started seeing it. Test scores were off the scale. Said producer Frank Marshall: Id never seen a preview like that. The audience went up to the ceiling. So they bagsied the best spot the year had to offer 3 July hired a squad of sound editors to work round the clock and two print editors with instructions to get properly choppy. They did, and those big trims tightened yet further one of the tautest screenplays (by Bob Gale) cinema has ever seen. The only bit of fat they left was the Johnny B Goode scene: sure, it didnt advance the story, but the kids at those test screenings knew we were gonna love it. Back to the Future is a pure shot of summer cinema: grand, ambitious, insanely entertaining. Deadpool, Avengers, take note: a blockbuster can be smart as hell so long as it wears it lightly. In the end, by the way, the film spent 11 weeks at number 1 at the US box office. Thats essentially the whole summer. CS

Teminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)

Photograph: Allstar/TRISTAR/Sportsphoto Ltd./Allstar

The first film I ever saw at the cinema was The Rocketeer. We drove into Bradford city centre, bought our tickets at the Odeon and sat through the 1991 tale which followed the fortunes of a stunt pilot, a rocket pack and a Nazi agent played by Timothy Dalton who sounded like he was from Bury rather than Berlin. The way into the multiplex there was a huge poster for Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Arnie sat on a Harley with a shotgun cocked and ready. My dad was a huge fan of the original but he still couldnt swing taking a seven-year-old to see it. It wasnt until I borrowed a VHS copy that I finally got to see what was behind that image. Skynet, dipshits, T-1000s, a nuclear holocaust and a motorbike chases on the LA river.

Blockbusters dont usually have that edge: theres a more brazen mainstream appeal. But Judgment Day was and still is an exception. It did huge numbers at the box office (more than $500m), was a rare sequel that was arguably better than the original and introduced really odd bits of Spanish idiom into the Bradford schoolyard lexicon. I probably would have been scarred for life watching it as a seven-year-old, but as a teenager it gave me a story I doubt Ill ever get tired of revisiting. LB

The Dark Knight (2008)

Photograph: Allstar/WARNER BROS.

The summer of 2008 was a busy one: Barack Obama emerged from a contentious democratic primary to become the first ever black presidential nominee of a major party. The dam fortifying the entire global financial system was about to burst. China hosted its first ever Summer Olympics. But somehow, and not exactly to my credit, what I remember most from that summer is the uncanny, ridiculously over-the-top publicity blitzkrieg that preceded the release of The Dark Knight, which has since emerged as not just an all-time great summer blockbuster, but an all-time great American film, period.

There were faux-political billboards that read I believe in Harvey Dent; a weirdly nondescript website of the same name; Joker playing cards dispersed throughout comic book stores, which led fans to another website where the DA was defaced with clown makeup. Dentmobiles, Gotham City voter registration cards, a pop-up local news channel: the marketing campaign might have seemed excessive had the movie not so convincingly topped it. Ten years later, as films like Deadpool and Avengers: Infinity War try to reach those same heights of virality, The Dark Knight remains the measuring stick by which every superhero movie, and superhero villain, is measured. JN

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Photograph: Jasin Boland/AP

In many ways, Fury Road is summer: arid, scorching, bright enough to be squinted at. The driving force behind all the high-impact driving is scarcity of water, the essence of life in a desert where death practically rises up from the burning sand. Even in the air-conditioned comfort of a multiplex auditorium in Washington DCs Chinatown, watching George Millers psychotic motor opera left this critic sweaty and parched. My world is fire and blood, warns the weary Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) in the scripts opening lines. Staggering out of a theater into the oppressive rays of the sun, it sure can feel that way.

Millers masterpiece fits into the summer blockbuster canon in a less literal capacity as well, striking its ideal balance of dazzling technical spectacle and massively-scaled emotional catharsis. There was plenty of breathless praise to go around upon this films 2015 release, much of it for the feats of practical-effects daring, but the hysterical extremes of feeling cemented its status as a modern classic. I cant deny that Ive watched the polecat sequence upwards of a dozen times, but Millers film truly comes alive in Furiosas howl of desperation, and in Maxs noble disappearance into the throng. CB

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Photograph: Alamy Stock Photo

Its the music, its the giant boulder, its the Old Testament mysticism, its the whip, its the Cairo Swordsman, its Harrison Fords crooked smile, its the bad dates, its Karen Allen drinking a sherpa under the table, its the melted faces and exploding heads. Its all these things plus having the good fortune of seeing this at the cinema at a very young age, therefore watching most of it through my terrified fingers. (Indy tells Marion to keep her eyes shut during the cosmic spooky ending; way ahead of you there!)

The modern blockbuster as we know it was created by Steven Spielberg with Jaws and George Lucas with Star Wars, so the hype was unmatched when the two collaborated in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark. As a kid I had no idea this was a loving homage to cliffhanger serials from the 30s and 40s, I took it as pure adventure. The seven-and-a-half minute desert truck chase (I dont know, Im making thus up as I go) is probably the best action sequence in all of cinema (John Woos Hard Boiled does not have a horse, sorry), but watching as an adult one notices a lot of sophisticated humor, too. (Indy being too exhausted to make love to Marion, for example, is something that didnt connect when I was six.)

Its strange to think I watched these cartoon Nazis on VHS with my grandparents who had escaped the Holocaust, and no one benefits when you do the math to figure out how young Marion was when, as Indy puts it, you knew what you were doing. But for thrills, laughs and propulsive camerawork (though a little mild Orientalism), nothing tops this one. JH

Independence Day (1996)

Photograph: Everett/REX/Shutterstock

Short of actually calling their film Summer Blockbuster, rarely can a films height-of-summer release date been so central to a films raison detre. This being the mid-90s, when po-mo and self-referentiality was all the rage, brazenly hooking your tentpole film to 4 July was seen as a pretty smart idea.

Fortunately, all the ducks did line up in a row for ID4: a game-changing performance from Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum at (arguably) his funniest, a rousingly Clintoneque president in Bill Pullman and most importantly in that run-up to the millennium physical destruction on a gigantic scale. Much comment at the time was expended on the laser obliteration of the White House (an early shot from the Tea Party/Maga crowd?), but I personally cherish director Roland Emmerichs signature move of detonating cars in somersault formation. Like many other huge-budget films then and since, Independence Day was basically a tooled-up retread of cheap-as-chips format of earlier decades though who these days would roll such expensive dice on what is essentially an original script, with no comic book or toy branding as a forerunner? We shall never see its like again. AP

Aliens (1986)

Photograph: Allstar/20 CENTURY FOX/Sportsphoto Ltd./Allstar

An Aliens summer is one for moviegoers who prefer to sit in in darkened rooms when the sun is shining; the brutal confines of the fiery power plant make an excellent subliminal ad for air conditioning. In 1986, James Cameron took Ridley Scotts elegant, iconic horror template and turned it into an all-out action blockbuster, forcing Ripley once again to face down her nemeses in a breathless fug of claustrophobia, sweat and fear. Its relentlessly stressful and unbelievably thrilling.

I first saw Aliens many years after its initial release. Owing to its sizeable and long-lasting legacy, it was at once immediately familiar, yet also brisk and brutally fresh. I understood that it was a classic, but I wasnt prepared for just how good it is, for the pitch-perfect management of tension, the pace that never really lets up, the emotional pull. The maternal undertow of Ripleys protection of Newt, and the alien mirror of that, adds a level of heart unusual in most blockbusters, and her frustration at being a woman whose authority must be earned again and again, and then proven again and again, remains grimly relevant, 30 years on. Its also a total blast. Now get away from her, you bitch. RN

Jaws (1975)

Photograph: Fotos International/Getty Images

It is the great summer blockbuster ancestor the film that in 1975 more or less invented the concept of the event movie. And unlike all those other summer blockbusters, Steven Spielbergs Jaws is actually about the summer; it is explicitly about the institution of the summer vacation, into which the movie was being sold as part of the seasonal entertainment. It is about the sun, the sand, the beach, the ocean and the entirely justified fear of being eaten alive by an enormous shark with the appetite of a serial killer and the cunning of a U-boat commander. And more than that: it is about that most contemporary of political phenomena: the coverup, the town authorities at a seaside resort putting vacationers at risk by not warning them about the shark. The Jaws mayor has become comic shorthand for the craven and pusillanimous politician.

A blockbuster nowadays means spectacular digital effects, but this film is from an analogue world. It bust the block through brilliant film-making and an inspired score from John Williams, summoning up the shark with a simple two-note theme which became the most famous musical expression of evil since Bernard Herrmanns shrieking violin stabs in Psycho took the place of actual knife-slashing. I still remember the excitement of the summer of 1975, and the queues around the block at the Empire, in Watford, round the corner from the football ground. The inspired brevity of the title meant the word was repeated over and over again to fill the marquee display: JAWS JAWS JAWS as if they were screaming it! PB

Senator Warren wants to help keep tabs on DeVos and wants to keep you informed and involved.

(You don’t have to read the below I end up going into a loooong rant but if you do- eyyy you ain’t too bad, kiddo)

Stay in touch on where our country’s education is going! DeVos is wanting to turn it into a business venture by privatizing it. She wants money taken further from the public schools - which will inevitably happen as there is only one DOE- and put it towards putting the youth of our country in debt, if not altogether pushed out of the education system by one or more of their inherent or other identities. Exclusion cannot be a character of our education system. I’d argue our education is second only to our health, it is so important that people be educated.

Knowledge is power, by not giving equal and legally protected access to education you are literally restricting their power as a citizen.

Not to mention the jobs it would devour. Perhaps she thinks she can kill a couple of birds with one swing- bring down student:teacher ratio, appeal to upperclass/rich, cut budget- but this is not how to do it.

Make teaching jobs not only more appealing(ie: better wages for the hours on and off the clock spent on work), but less negatively perceived (ie: lets show more respect, make school programs more involved and inclusive, work on the social justice end of things by boosting humanties in education). I had a coach for a history teacher and a history teacher for economics. That’s absurd. And it wasn’t rare in my school for coaches in their off hours to double as a -usually- history teacher. The history teacher for economics literally told my entire class she was learning it with us, which i appreciated her honesty but it got her in some shit when tests came around. Not to mention The Test, as haha it was an AP class. Oops.

Our education system has been suffering for a long long time. Teachers hate it. Government hates it. Parents hate it. KIDS. HATE. IT.

But- get this. People often times love to learn. What?

WHAT?!

I like learning new stuff about shit I care about. Sometimes even shit I don’t. But without proper resources classes, school, cannot be as fun and enjoyable is it potentially could be.

Let’s make a class right now. Something to teach you a fundamental skillset but while having fun or doing something interesting.

One of my favor pairings is science and art. But I overdo that a lot. So how about let’s try sports and science. Maybe sports and physics specifically. I mean if we’re gonna combine them anyway why not let the students play games while they learn science. Physical challenges that teach them physical laws.

I’m serious, there is a lot of room for creativity in the education system but we get stuck in trying to standardize education. But that doesn’t work. And it certainly won’t work with private schools. Perhaps the sports/physics class would need some tweaking, or just a variety of options with different pairings to accommodate diverse students, but it’s just a brainstorm. Also i just imagined that alternative universe where a kid gotta where gym clothes to science class haha neat.

Math and computers. i still miss number munchers. Or could learn computer science. It doesn’t have to be in depth but it could help practice math while doing a skill they enjoy.

history and fashion or choir..oooor.....

History and FOOD.

Y’ALL.

IMAGINE COOKING IN CLASS. And learning about where that food/ingredient/recipe originates/has been popular, some history of its cultural use, and history of that place/culture. Smell triggers memory the best out of all of our senses.

BRING BACK HOME EC in general. That is a great start for making projects interesting because it’s about YOUR LIFE TO BE. It’s not all baking pies, it’s learning about taxes, bills,

The content of home economics courses vary, but may include: food, nutrition, and health; personal finance; family resource management and planning; textiles and clothing; shelter and housing; consumerism and consumer science; household management; design and technology; food science and hospitality; human development ...

That’s where sex ed happened. That’s where psychology happened. Anything to do with money and how you have to and/or may want to spend it.

This all quickly devolved into me prancing through a field of dreams, but i hope you get my point. Things are the way they are now because we let slip our investment in education as citizens. It doesn’t have to be a burden. It should be as enjoyable as it is. Knowledge is every where regardless, you learn new things every day without even trying. Take hold of that power. Anyone can be an educator and if anyone feels that couldn’t they can still be a strong contributor in a variety of ways.

Do not let DeVos take our power of knowledge away from our younger citizens. No doubt though they would still outsmart her.
