A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS
List 5 fandoms without looking at the questions, then proceed to answer aforementioned questions. Fun ensues!
1. Metal Gear Solid
2. Pokemon
3. Uhhh... Hotel Dusk
4. Crap. Uh... Star Fox?
5. Final Fantasy... uhhhh... let's go with VIII. God, that was hard.
1. Which is your favorite series from your list? And why?
Oh god don't make me pick :< I love them all so dearly.
2. If you were to pair two characters from 1 and 4, who would they be?
ROY CAMPBELL/PEPPY OTP LOL
GIVE EACH OTHER MEANINGLESS ADVICE FOR ETERNITY!!1
3. What is one thing you'd like to change about 3's plotline?
Ah crap, I don't wanna give anything away. I guess just the sheer, mindblowing amount of coincidences got a little out of hand. Y'know, just how everyone's life stories JUST SO HAPPEN to run into everyone else's. You knoooooow.
4. If both main characters of 2 and 5 were falling off a cliff, which one would you save?
Hmmmm... Squall. His sudden Rinoa obsession was annoying, but I still like him. And I'm sure Ash has a Pokemon that can save him or something.
5. Which event was the most horrible for you in 1?
Hmmm... well, nothing has really been all that "horrible" for me, but that one person's death in MGS3 was depressing. You know. At the end. You know. Also, having to listen to Raiden and Rose in MGS2 was pretty terrible. Though if Snake and/or Otacon die in MGS4 then you can just automatically cross all this out and put that in its place because I will start weeping like a little girl if that happens D:
6. Which is your least favorite character of 2?
May |< Stupid bubbly Misty clone. I also really dislike Pikachu.
7. If the antagonist of 3 were to rape the main character of 1, what would you do?
I dunno if Hotel Dusk necessarily has an antagonist, unless you count THAT ONE MYSTERIOUS PERSON WHO I WONT NAME you "face off" at the end. In which case, I would laugh my ass off. Someone needs to write a crackfic of that immediately.
8. What song reminds you of 5?
Any of the game music? :B I can't think of any other songs that remind me of it, really.
9. Of 1, 3, and 5, which is the easiest to think about?
Easiest to think about? Wha? Do you mean which one has the easiest-to-follow plot or something? 'Cause man, MGS DEFINITELY loses in that department. God the ending for MGS2. God.
Anyway, if I had to choose, I guess I'd pick Hotel Dusk. It's pretty complicated and all, but I dunno :V I didn't have too much trouble following it. Compared to FFVIII and MGS, anyway.
10. Are the protagonists of 2 and 4 similar?
Ash and Fox? Uhhh... I... guess they're both very steadfast and determined and all that heroic junk. They're both a little dense. Other than that, I don't think so.
Man, that was short. IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED. OR SOMETHING.
o hi new kingdom hearts games. Are they milking that series or what. Even though my interest in KH has kind of waned, I still might hafta check out the DS game :V It's a nostalgic series for me, leave me alone. Plus I hear there's scenes of Roxas and Axel watching the sunset and eating ice cream and talking about their feelings and that sounds too hilarious to pass up. Let's just hope the battle system isn't CARD BASED ADSHFGDGH
Also, the "lol new organization member" sounds... off-putting for some reason, I don't know why. 'Guess we'll just have to wait and see what that's all about. If it winds up being Namine or something dumb like that I'm gonna be so maaaaaad ooooooooo well not really. But that WOULD be lame |<
I had some dream last night that involved Guitar Hero causing an abundance of hookers. Okay then.
what was i OH YEAH I have something important to ask you guys. Well, sort of important. Not really. But I could still really use your input.
SO. I assume most of you have already seen this post, where I asked you which game you wanted me to take screenshots of next. Well, since Legend of Mana tied with FFIV, I decided to go out and hunt for a LoM ROM and see if I could actually FIND one before I decided on anything. I did! But you know what else I found? Final Fantasy 7-9. They run just fine, from what I've played. The sound is a little messed up, like the sound effects will sound wonky or the music will sometimes slow down for no reason, but I could probably fix that with a new plugin, and if not, then it could make for some interesting commentary. Plus it's not like anyone reading these will care much about the sound effects, anyway, since they can't hear them and all. Also, the screencapping function is a liiiiiiittle on the slow side, and I think it may be because a.) the screenshots are so big, and b.) ePSXe likes to make a special .txt file for each shot, like a little birth certificate or something. So that'll make it tricky to screencap cutscenes and stuff. There might be a way for me to fix these things, but I haven't really looked into that, yet.
Another thing that probably isn't even really worth mentioning, but I'm going to anyway because I'm in a talky mood tonight: I'm kiiind of paranoid about legal stuff. I know, I know, I share music and games and junk I've downloaded without even blinking an eye, but something about sharing PSX ROMs just feels... more illegal than usual or something I DON'T KNOW. And logically I know that I own these games in real life, I'm not making any money from doing these, Sony doesn't even make these games anymore (well, to my knowledge, anyway. I know they're doing some pay-to-download thing for the PSP where you can get PSX games, though. kind of like the Wii's Virtual Console), I'm only sharing them with a very small group of people since not a lot of people read this journal in the first place, and the chances of THE MAN finding my little podunk LiveJournal on the vast spectrum that is the Internet is very slim. But my brainmeats cannot help but feel nervous. I've thoguht about making a special little friends only journal specifically for doing PSX runthroughs, but I don't know how well that would work out. SUGGESTIONS? OBJECTIONS? REASSURANCE?
KIND OF WENT ON A RANT THERE BUT WHAT I'M TRYING TO ASK IS uhhh do you guys want me to do one of these, instead? :B I've been wanting to share these for a while, particularly FF7, but I just could never find the right tools. But now I have them. I could totally do these if you want me to, or I could just go with the original plan and do either FFIV or LoM. It's all up to you guys.
Haha wow, this entry went all over the place. Why am I still awake.
