So if you didn't need any further confirmation that Dandy himself is NOT quite human and is definitely some sort of Galactic constant IMO.

Not too sure how I didn't come to this conclusion sooner…

...but after watching the latest SD episode I honestly believe that Polnareff CANNOT be left unsupervised.

And how the others haven't come to this conclusion utterly baffles me.

"Hey Jotaro, have you seen Polnareff"

"Now that you mention it… not for a while"

EMERGENCY!!! STOP FUCKING AROUND AND FIND HIM!

I'm glad they're trying for something new.

Not just another bland game. Or spinoff. Last I checked, they attempted to turn the franchise into something like Diablo.

I ACTUALLY downloaded the teaser and was pretty impressed by it. It immersed me. It frightened me.

I didn't exactly shit my pants… maybe that will come later, haha. Oh Kojima.

The hook of the repeating hallway may sound cliche, but it was pretty effective for the escalation of the situation. Also great for something as bite sized as this. It has it's own self contained narrative.

A repeating location that becomes familiar, but slightly different with each lap. A picture is gone one time, a light is out, or later red. The radio is playing, then it isn't. Then it seems like it's directly talking to the player.

Oh look... a fridge hanging from the ceiling and violently shaking... with blood dripping from a corner, bathed in red lights. Nothing Silent Hill about that.. no sir.

The ghost that jumpscares you is effective at raising the tension. I don't feel that the jumpscares were cheap. The narrative gives enough reason for her to be there. The only scare that felt "cheap" was when she appears behind you and "kills you", and you're sent to the beginning room. The only reason this was cheap to me is that it's not in game. It starts up via cutscene and there's a noticeable "skip to video" when it happens. It wasn't disguised well enough.

But when you first turn the corner and just see her standing there, not moving... that was scary. When I just randomly decided to turn around on one of my laps and see her faintly standing at the end of the hallway, vibrating. That was scary. I could have easily missed it had I decided to keep going forward.

And once she makes her presence known.. it provides the tension of "how far is this going to go?" You've been through this hallway about 4 times now and know what's around the corner, but you're afraid it might not be.

The narrative of the family killing father, is very much like the series proper.

And when you finally turn that corner... and it's completely different, the rug gets pulled from under you. Oh, the pictures are vibrating... nice...

And then when it finally hits it's climax, you're back in the normal version of the hallway... bathed in normal tungsten lighting... except one thing the message that you had to create on the wall is still there:

"I can hear them calling me from hell"

And you can't leave...

... then your vision starts getting messed up and you fear the worst, you expect a final jumpscare.

And then the screen fucks up, you see a bunch of code... and you're back at the beginning.

CoD indeed. I'm sure the dudebros were scared out of their tap out shirts. But they went on a beer run and everything was better.

Dervish and her experience with The Skyward Sword.

"Why won't the damn bird fly right?"

"Hm? I dunno… let me see. Hmm. Ok instead of just shaking the wiimote up and down, it's like you have to flap it... just flap it."

"But I don't want to flap. There's like 4 buttons on this thing that aren't even being used. What the fuck?!"

Four seasons? OHHH MYYY GOOOD!

Just a question. I don't have the patience to hunt through the thread if this has already been addressed.

At the rate we're going with the stand encounters, is Stardust Crusaders going to be more than 26 episodes?

Or will they have to do a second part?

I get people being put off by Shredder being white.

But B. Stockman is a mad scientist who's character isn't really reliant on any given race. It's been back and forth, so whatever color his skin ends up being doesn't really matter.

I'd be cool with an African American April. A reporter in New York is also not reliant on race. And anyone would fit better than Megan Fox.

Doesn't wanna wait that long.

I think adding Michael Bay's name all over the film (when he's only one of 5 producers) is a interesting strategy.

"New Turtles film? eh… that's cool I guess..."

"MICHAEL BAY!!!! OMG HE'S GONNA RUIN IT I HATE THAT GUY"

It gets people talking... interested in it. Keeping their eye on it. Buying tickets. Turtles have always been sorta in and out with their popularity.

I'd be more concerned that the guy that directed Darkness Falls and Wrath of the Titans is the director... yeesh..

I think it looks fun. I was expecting something god awfully offensive. And I wanted to hate it like everyone else...

But what I saw was 4 Mutant Turtles flipping around like Ninjas. Splinter is a giant rat! Mikey talking like a surfer and being immature and skateboarding. Stuff like "My sons" "They kidnapped your brothers" "I've trained you to protect the world above"

The Raph fan in me was like "YESSSSSS" he doesn't get captured! Then he's taking on Super(mecha) Shredder.

Them seemingly USING their weapons. Cause despite being a card carrying Turtles kid... on the front lines of Turtle-effing-mania... I still always wanted them to actually use their weapons. I would always say "Hit him! Slice him up Leo!!"

And if that kid me saw that trailer i'd have shit my pants and exploded with sheer excitement.

And I think it's kinda funny that the Skrillex song they used was "Reptile". heh

Muramasa is great on the Vita!
