OK I WAS JUST PLAYING TOV AND I NOTICED SOMETHING. It  was when you go to Capua Torim the second time and you have to run around and talk to everyone. In the scene with Raven he's complain as usual that he can't keep up with us and it's a pain that he has to keep an eye on Estelle until she returns to the castle. He says something to the extent of "I wonder if I could hand her off to the knights somewhere along the way" (as they would bring her back to the castle obv.)

BUT DUDE

FORESHADOWING MUCH? SEEING AS RAVEN DOES JUST THAT MUCH LATER. Oh the things you notice the second time through...

But yeah, I don't mind so much that I had to start over (I lost my other Xbox 360 harddrive at camp... with my ToV savefile on it. I was just a bit after Zaude, iirc.) because I'm enjoying the game even more than I did the first time since I already loved half the characters, plus it's interesting to play through the earlier parts knowing what I know now. For example, every interaction with Alexei is weird for me now. HE PLAYS BEING SANE SO VERY CONVINCINGLY. Even his voice sounds less evil. I actually didn't really understand who he was until he was like "HAHA I'M ACTUALLY AN ANTAGONIST!" I think I got him confused with Drake at some point too. I DON'T KNOW HOW OK. But yeah I hadn't realized that you actually talk with him several times. He was a pretty hands-on Commandant, going to Dahngrest himself to talk with the Don. He probably would have been a good Commandant if he weren't, y'know, a raving lunatic. Oh well.

I've also noticed random burst of affection for characters that I was indifferent towards or disliked before, namely Karol. I realize now how adorable he is. I think I was predisposed to hate him due to his role as token shota probably triggering my hatred for Genis. I don't even know why I hate Genis. But I do. Or maybe it's how I used to hate Lloyd and now I'm like "O LLOYD U SO SILLY!!!" EITHER WAY. I will say that his voice remains one of the most annoying in the game. I'm just used to it now.

I still feel mostly indifferent towards Flynn and Estelle, though I'm trying to like Estelle more because of [livejournal.com profile] lukecho. Flynn I can always tolerate despite his weird warbly voice because he is so easy to make fun of.  SEARCH WARRANTS FTW. Estelle I can never bring myself to make fun of. I dunno why. I will say she's better than most Tales heroines. (I find Colette, Mint, and Shirley all insufferably helpless. As for Chloe who I guess could also be the heroine of Legendia isn't quite so helpless... you'd think. But I still get that damsel in distress vibe off of her, SOMEHOW. Iria I enjoy, and I enjoyed Kohak immensely before her spiria went all ASPLODED.)

As far as minor characters go, I found myself enjoying Leblanc's appearances. I was actually overjoyed when he showed up in Caer Bocram but he did technically save our lives there so that's understandable. I also had a moment where I thought Tison was pretty cool, but then I came to my senses. I MEAN COME ON, TISON? Also Clint. I enjoyed seeing Clint. But that was mainly because of the last name me and [livejournal.com profile] lukecho came up with for him. We decided his name is Clint Toris. HAHA, WE SO CLEVER AREN'T WE?? *shot*

OH ALSO THE OTHER DAY, I was exercising one of my nerdy habits by matching up characters from one thing with characters from another thing. This time it was ToV and Rurouni Kenshin. IT IS ACTUALLY A LITTLE SCARY HOW WELL IT WORKS. Raven would be Kenshin, them both being goofy 30-something war veterans. And they're both on the short side. Schwann would be Battosai obviously, both being the other half of Raven/Kenshin's identity, both of which they would have been during the war. Judith is Kaoru b/c they're both strong women and I ship Raven/Judith so shut up. Karol is obviously Yahiko, as the token shota. Yuri is Sanosuke, both being the younger friend of the lead character. They both love to fight, and don't beat around the bush about things. Estelle is Megumi I supose. In a way she fits Kaoru better, and Judith would fit the vixen aspect of Megumi... but Megumi can't fight, she's just a doctor. Soyeah. Rita is Misao, both being fiery teen girls who can kick some ass. Yeager is Saito, being a rival to Raven/Kenshin who helps out the good guys when he feels like it. Alexei can be Shishio if only because they're both nuts, and have awesome fighting techniques. And with him being Shishio, Khroma can be Yumi, Shishio's bitch. Duke can be Enishi, both being the REAL FINAL BOSS after the guy who you THOUGHT was the final boss. Plus they both fall under the "dead little sister trope", Duke with his bff Elucifer and Enishi with his big sister Tomoe. Speaking of which, Casey would obv be Tomoe. BUT YEAH RAVEN AND KENSHIN ARE ACTUALLY REALLY SIMILAR. Yeah ok that's enough of that.

Also, I plan on gettting up Chapter 3 of The Oltorain Family (I think I'm going to call it that, unless I think of a better name...) this weekend, if at all possible. Expect it to be titled something like "In which Yeager and his daughters make an extended appearance and Caitie continues to ignore Moses."

MY SCHOOL DOES NOT BLOCK LJ.
THEY BLOCK GOOGLE IMAGES THOUGH.
BUT REGULAR GOOGLE IS UNBLOCKED.

Pretty cool, school.
At one point Subeta wasn't blocked either. The images were but the site itself wasn't. But now the site is so ):

BUT YEAH LJ ISN'T. I believe they have all sites with "games" in the meta tags blocked, as well as Google Images specifically. Actually, not even that, they just block the images from Google images. You can go to the Google Images tab and search but all the images are broken. ]:| 
Why Google Images? Because they caught a kid once looking up porn on it or something. YES, ONE ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THEY BLOCK WHAT IS BY FAR THE BEST IMAGE SEARCH ENGINE IN EXISTENCE. Picsearch and Getty Images aren't blocked but Picsearch is a steaming pile of fail that makes me cry tears of blood and Getty Images is only for stock photos, and isn't actually a search engine per se. 

I don't even know how Picsearch manages to fail as much. It just really, really does. And I don't believe that the thing they show as the top searched each day are at least half made up because they are SO RANDOM sometimes.

I hate picsearch as much as Charles Babbage hates muscians. */Hark, a vagrant reference*

ALSO, When I realised I forgot my flashdrive where I saved the project we're working on in class right now, the first thing I thought of was to see if LJ was blocked. I blame [livejournal.com profile] kekahefor putting the idea in my head.

FFF I WAS GOING TO USE THIS PERIOD AS A DR WHAT AM I DOING. LJ you are like a drug or something.
commandant: (Default)
and I actually remembered it. Which I almost never do.

Well I don't rememerber much of what happpened except for the beginning.

So basically, me, [livejournal.com profile] madii00 , and [livejournal.com profile] kekahe  were on a plane. Except since my mind has no visual representation of [livejournal.com profile] kekahe  she had the appearance of Jed Murphy.

The best part is that in the dream I actually recognized the absurdity of her having a guy's appearance, but I never asked about it. Neither did [livejournal.com profile] madii00 .

FUN STUFF.

commandant: (Default)
I want to say [info] [livejournal.com profile] kekahe is partly to blame, but really I just sort of suddenly was like "FDJDFK ABYSS". SO basically I have a bunch of silly pictures.

There are a lot of them )

I discovered this a while ago and had a little fun with it.
The first one I did for [livejournal.com profile] kekahe .

When I went into my Abyss folder I saw another image that gave me another idea.

And another.

then I realised another threat.


speaking of [livejournal.com profile] kekahe , we've had some pretty epic conversations on MSN. Epic for multiple reasons.
For example yesterday the conversation actually led to me saying
Master Badtouch:
WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT GUY AND RAVEN COMING INSIDE OF ANISE
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I'VE BEEN CONFRONTED WITH A SEXUAL SITUATION INVOLVING GUY AND RAVEN AND I DO NOT LIKE IT.

Yes my name on MSN right now is Master Badtouch. For people who are not Luke or Kyaku: Master Badtouch is a fan nickname for Van Grants. He's the main character Luke's mentor, thus Luke calls him Master Van. Combine this with Van's unfortunate tendency to get awkwardly close to Luke and saying that he "needs" Luke results in him appearing to be a creepy pedophile (as the threatdown poster indicates.)

Even cooler than that though is when our icons go together. Except they only ever seem to go together from her side. BUT IT'S STILL COOL.

GOLD (bottom) SEEMS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC TO SEE HISUI STRIP.

Then a few days ago I switched my name to Master Badtouch (from ol' man Raven) along with a Van icon. [livejournal.com profile] kekahe 's default name is Luke, so we realised it went together so she changed her icon to make it EPIC.

Also she has declared today to be NATIONAL CASUAL RP DAY, which means today her internet persona will be that of Luke. I'll try to do the same with Raven if I have time. It'll be totes cool
