  1. I've been on this forum for a couple of years now, even though I don't post, for...obvious reasons. I was even part of the FE12 project, so...yeah I think this community has been terrible and has been terrible for a while now. Hth.
  2. am i not allowed to sincerely venerate a pope? :(
  3. So scraweth the pope, the bringer of all that is new and wonderful e: V He is not bloke, he is pope.
  4. Yo it'd be nice if, when you take other people's images from the Something Awful LP archive, you'd rehost it so that you don't waste Baldurk's bandwidth.
  5. You should really play it/read the dialogue before you comment on it. this is some poor sap who tried to LP the game, and you can see his soul drain as he does it
  6. I would have been glad to help if he had asked. I pointed him to those references because he has said several times before that he doesn't want any. So it goes.
  7. http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=27091 Literally on the same page. What do you think this is about?
  8. Wanna know something? I am paid to tell people their writing is terrible and to improve that same writing; that is to say, I am a fucking editor and I do this as a career. If you clicked on those links I added in, those are reference books, not novels, and all they require is that you apply a few of the principles in there to your writing if you want to have a solid base. I can't save your style, which is terrible, but at the least you could attempt to not be egregiously bad in terms of devices, language, and grammar. I cannot understand how you enjoy being so aggressively terrible at everything you do, while ignoring any real advice given to you, since obviously people circlejerking to you is what you enjoy. It's pretty clear you have no intention of getting the player involved in the game experience, so maybe you're better off writing terrible fanfiction for people who haven't read a good book in their lives. For reference, he literally posted a pile of words on another forum about how he has no intention of improving. By the way, there is an easier way of writing this, and that is "Hey guys I'm kind of really happy with being mediocre so please stop giving me advice :) kthnx xoxo"
  9. Everyone commenting on this is completely missing what makes writing good writing. I cannot fathom how you can look at something that has 3000 words in a short chapter good writing, when you take into account this is a video game, not bad fanfiction, and there is such a thing as conservation of detail, and economy of words. There is irrelevant stuff, boring dialogue that wouldn't be out of place in a bad manga translation, heaps of tell don't show, and the characters do not act even remotely like their age. Julie especially acts like some sort of horrible idea of what a teenage girl is like, and not you know, a real person. Literally the only sane person is Winston, and even then he's an idiot. So basically your writing is kinda shitty man and I don't think mindless praise is going to help make it any better. e: I would recommend reading these books, and after that I would recommend reading some actual literature instead of videogames so that you can learn from the masters instead of fanfictiondotnet. http://www.amazon.com/The-Elements-Style-Fourth-Edition/dp/020530902X http://www.amazon.com/High-School-English-Grammar-Composition/dp/812192197X/ http://www.amazon.com/Glossary-Literary-Terms-nineth-Text/dp/B004QD0NDQ/ Oh god this is great
  10. there's a simple strat for this chapter, as i pointed out in the Lunatic thread. Essentially, enemies will only go for people in Tiki's axes, so you only need paired up people in those 3 specific positions. They don't even bother with 2-range unless they can kill her iirc. ------- 1oTo2 CoooC oC3Co The numbers are the only places that need to be protected once you get Tiki's back against the wall. Effectively you need 9 characters for this to work, but only 3-6 need to be strong. Everyone else is free to do whatever.
  11. I'm pretty sure I've seen both of you in that same thread actually :v anyway Phil Collins is basically the best name for a tome ever
  12. Hubba hubba is a thing too lel. Personally I died laughing when I saw his name, forget his dialogue. Say what you will, but the localisation changed pretty much everything for the better imo. Like Henry, who goes from tragic hero to being the way he is because he's that fucking happy it's hilarious.
  13. oh i know that. deep voices imply authoritativeness and masculine qualities blah blah blah psychology. it's not going to stop me from physically wincing when i hear it though :v i feel the same way about sumia actually, and i love whoever dubbed her. so many words about my opinion oh no
  14. preferences for how she speaks is one thing; that chipmunk voice is another entirely imo
