Welcome to Gaia! :: Sandokiri's Post History

The Metroids were created by the Chozo on SR-388 to combat the X parasites, and didn't go haywire so much as needed a new food source. That happened to be, well, everything else on SR-388. And there's very little chance, at least not for the Federation or the Pirates. :3nod: -Federation: The BSL project was illegal and secret; it's highly unlikely at best that they had more than one Bo ...

They could splice in more interludes if they wanted - like the Primes, they'd be side stories. I can see that. By "the story is complete," I mean that between 1/0M and Fusion, the major arcs are wrapped up and accounted for. MAYBE the corrupt agents in the Federation, the shadow antagonists of OM? But that'd be a very different game, having Samus straight-up fighting against humans... A ...

This year is supposed to bring some Luigi-centered games, which I'd count as different from Mario. I can't see a new Metroid game - the story is pretty much complete. Seeing Metroid 2 get a Zero Mission-like update would be pretty cool though.

If he's not wearing his tabard, Garrosh does indeed tend to run into battle bare-chested - certainly without chest armour in any case. The shoulders and wrestling champion belt partially hide that fact. :3nod: Doesn't change the Sylvanas design being dumb, though. The male Orgrimmar Guards are pretty close too, having their chests covered by He-Man straps, while ladies (same gear) get at ...

Error admitted. :3nod: It does mean either she's using fuzzy maths to describe a 12-part series, or fuzzy maths about 10-20 minute videos (since damsel in distress alone could double that.) Or maybe she's changing the outline, dunno. As for Far Cry 3, development started in 2010, with intended release dates as early as Q4 2011. And I could be wrong, but then again I can't think of very ma ...

And I'm not debating that those issues exist. :3nod: I do, however, think that pointing half of her videos at looks alone is a waste of potential. Condense the four "sexy" videos and make the "ugly" video about villainess portrayal across the board: that frees up three videos that could explore other interesting aspects. Likewise, Voodoo Priestess is so specific that it could stand to be ...

Cecil's example is more a matter of fighting yourself, which also happens in Metroid Prime 2 and 3 with Dark Samus, Zelda 2 with Shadow Link, Skies of Arcadia (a group of imitators pretending to be your party) and kinda Wild Arms 2 with Ashley, who wound up with the final boss Lord Blazer installed into him by a ritual. For much of the game, this seems like a blessing because Ashley can beco ...

That could depend on what other feats the ranger has, as well as his level and race. For example, he'd only need to be level 21 to get the epic feat Wield Oversize Weapon (which has Monkey Grip as a prereq,) which would make cause those Large b*****d swords to be treated as Medium light weapons for all purposes. Also, if the ranger is (or can become) Large himself, the problem also goes aw ...

Let's see... actual situations in which you are X fighting Y, and later Y fighting X. Basically, any time you're able to choose to ally with one of two warring factions, and then to switch to the other, this happens at a faction level. I don't think that's quite what you mean, but it's similar. Example: Skyrim Civil War: there is a point at which you can switch sides. There are various gam ...

Mechwarrior 4 is a partial example. The hero of the first game becomes a villain in the second, but not vice versa: The hero of MW4 Vengeance becomes a major antagonist (though not the final boss) of MW4 Black Knight. However, it's not a full example because the heroes of Black Knight are a mercenary company called the Black Knight Legion. If you look at it from a *faction* perspective: ...

In case that wasn't sarcastic, it gets worse. Getting that hate was part of her tactic. To borrow an old 4chan meme, which seems appropriate since she successfully trolled 4chan: 1. Leap into the mother of all lion's dens. 2. Get predictably scratched by the lions. 3. Start up your Kickstarter, and show off the scratch marks. 4. ??? 5. PROFIT Based on what people are saying here in thi ...

Have the angel's god or nearest home-planar patron geas him for being a hypocrite. He's treating with non-good demons (the incubus) while planning to judge a mortal who has already paid a price (his arm) for treating with non-good demons (Pazuzu.) If it'd been a lawful good mortal, I'd say let it fall to player decisions; but not an angel.

Sorry if I confused. I meant that as three games in which she was not a damsel in distress, since Anita's argument was that she *was* in all cases. Hope that's clearer.

...I think my point was missed. With 649 Pokemon in current existence, we should be looking at more starter options than ever before, and they don't even have to be the starter trios. And the overall list of Pokemon is both smaller than the first Unova Dex (though it's close) and still has about 80% Unova Pokemon (with those that aren't generally being recurring characters like the Kecleon S ...

I can help you with the rest. Part 1: All about Starfox Adventures. It also didn't mention Assault or Command, which is telling given later assertions. Part 2: The history of damsel in distress. This started with the ur-example, Perseus and Andromeda, and took a whirlwind tour up to her intended destination, King Kong. Part 3: Shigeru Miyamoto Is a Pig, part 2! And from King Kong t ...
