Name Change #0579

Wow, I was Pahrak #0579 for over a year. That's definitely a personal best.   But I like the way my new name sounds too. Figured there's no harm in trying something different for a little while.   Might take a while to get used to, though.

I'm Confused

Wait...are people upset that there are going to be more female characters in the next Lego Movie?   I read the talkback and I can't really make much sense of it. I think they're saying they're worried that this means the director's just going to toss in some half-sincere female characters for the heck of it?   Even though actually clicking the link in the BZP article leads to an article with the headline "'The Lego Movie 2' Director Wants More Strong Women In Sequel"?   Which is basically just

Bioni-Lords Clearance: Books 4 and 5

Sorry for the huge delay, but it took a while to get all this typed back up. Let’s see…Bioni-Lords Book 4: Sensou (“War”). About 12 years after the defeat of the Dark Knights, Kraahkan-Nui is pulled from his and Avohkii-Nui’s pocket dimension out into the main dimension, prompting a massive war between the forces of good and evil. Konpaku and Les Douze Ombres were working for Kraahkan-Nui, trying to find a way to help him switch worlds (couldn’t do it on his own because it would give Avohkii-

The Update You Weren't Waiting For

Hey, remember that one comedy I started but then never got around to finishing?   ...Well...one of the comedies I started but never got around to finishing? The most recent one?   I finally wrote Chapter 8 of The Bionicle RPG You Never Wanted. Sorry it took so long. At least I was able to spin it into a joke! Anywho, this chapter takes the party through the last Citadel, so next chapter will start the final dungeon. I'm thinking the ending will run into chapter 10, and then I was considerin

Default

Tumblr told me that grinding in Florem Gardens was a good idea. In about an hour I got my team the rest of the way to Lv 99 and mastered a ton of Jobs. I also consulted TVTropes for gamebreaking strategies, then went to tackle the True End.   I won.   Woot.   I won't go into detail since I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say that I have mixed feelings. Unless I missed it, there are a lot of things they were pretty unclear about, so I was sort of disappointed by that. I'm also not su

Obligatory Smash Bros Post

Greninja is playable.   Mega Lucario.   Mega Charizard X.   Mega Man's Final Smash includes Megaman.EXE and Geo Stelar.   Is that my wallet crying or is that just me?

Warzone Draft

(Here's a rough draft of the first post of Technic Warzone. In several places it will mention links, but I'm not putting any links in just yet, so don't mind those. You might just be surprised by what you'll find in here...)   Technic Warzone We all have our favorite characters from Bionicle, Slizers, RoboRiders, and Hero Factory. We also might enjoy sponsoring them in a fighting league where they get to beat the snot out of other characters. Or we might enjoy sending them off into a

Brave, Brave, BRAVE!

Well, after getting the short ending and setting the game aside for a few days, I picked Bravely Default back up again and trudged my way through Chapter 6’s sub-quests and everything in Chapter 7. When I got to Chapter 8 I cleared one of the sub-quests, but…good gosh, that was difficult, there were going to be so many more, and I’ve been told that after clearing the True End I’ll be sent back to Chapter 8, so I’ll just do that later.   So, I made it to The End! The Chapter entitled The End, t

Oh, April Fool's Day...

I was thinking that maybe I was too hard on April Fool's Day and that maybe I should give it a chance.   Then I see these people crafting the most heart-destroying "there's a TWEWY sequel" prank they can possibly come up with.   And I remember why I hate this holiday.

End One Path, Resume Another

Well, I did the thing that one guy suggested near the end of Chapter 6, which took me into the "short ending." That's as vague as I have to be without spoiling it. It wasn't all too difficult, I think...but, then again, I have been playing on Easy for a while. This ending does seem pretty open-ended, but there's still a sense of accomplishment. Plus, now I can have Agnes wear her vestal garb all the time! Worth it.   The save file then spit me back into Chapter 6, so now I'm going around do

Turning Point Reached

After a lengthy side-quest to get the Vampire asterisk, I restored the Earth Crystal and stuff went down. I won't spoil anything. I do, however, want to go on record as saying that I was right about who wrote D's Journal!   ...It's actually really, really obvious when you read the Enigmatic Writings so I don't deserve that much credit.   It really is a lot easier to get JP now. I've even managed to master a few Jobs! Also, I was able to hunt down all the Genomes for Vampire, so I think I'm i

Inconsistent Spell Naming

All the spells in Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and Bravely Default follow the same pattern: the first tier has a normal name, the second tier ends in -ra, and the third ends in -ga. Except for Bravely Default's Cure spells. Those go Cure, Cura, Curada, Curaga.   ...What?   I certainly have nothing against a fourth tier Cure spell--I'm sure it'll be very helpful, and a precedent for that was set way back in the original Final Fantasy. Of course, the spells in that game went Cure, Cura, Curag

Tales of Grinding

I made it through Chapter 3 in Bravely Default. It wasn't easy. Still, quite an interesting piece of the story--don't want to reveal too much, but between Tiz's mental state showing signs of deterioration and Edea coming face-to-face with her former master, needless to say it drew me in quite effectively. I'm starting Chapter 4 now, but I'm still doing terribly, so I've resorted to grinding to gain levels and Job Levels. Also, something interesting that struck me, but it's spoilers for Chapt

Brave>Brave>Brave

Hm, now seems like a good time to update y'all on my Bravely Default progress. Spoiler-free as possible.   Made it to Chapter 2, where I'm finding much irritation, but at least I got the satisfaction of killing that wretched Red Mage in the sub-quest. Not to mention said quest gave me the first sign that Ringabel isn't a complete son of a brakas! Character development! Anything else I'd have to say about him, well...let's not and say we did. Tiz is...boring? I mean, all I've seen of him thus

I've Been Reading Too Much Poetry Lately

These literature classes have me analyzing poems and stuff, which made me want to write a poem. So I did. Figured may as well share it, since it's been a while since I've posted...anything, I guess. Hope you like it.

Another Technic Proposition

I was thinking about making some of the more powerful items harder to get. Rather than just selling them at the shop, I could present them in an auction mode. Every so often, a new auction would be announced, and a rare/powerful item would be offered at a starting price with players able to place bids to decide who wins it. Still just a very rough idea--I'm not sure how often these auctions would take place, if they would have time limits, or even what specific items would be restricted to au

I Need To Pay More Attention

I only just found out that Bravely Default and Steins;Gate share a writer.   Also I somehow missed just how Final Fantasy the game is.   So yeah, I'm playing the Bravely Default demo. A little late to the party, haven't been able to play it too much yet, but I think it will do nicely. I'm recognizing a lot of elements from my favorite Final Fantasy games in the battle system even just from this point. And if it's a Final Fantasy plot spun like Steins;Gate, well...I can't not see that.   On a

Setbacks

So, my computer got infected. I believe I've taken care of it, but in the process I lost every single document I had ever made.   So I'm going to have to re-type those Bioni-Lords posts.   And anything I had for Technic Coliseum/Warzone.   And the fanfiction I was working on.   So this may delay some things.

Coliseum Reboot Draft

I'm starting to get an idea together, but I want to run it by you guys first. Take a look:   -Titled "Technic Warzone" -Fighters have a stat total of 12 by default. The sponsor can allocate another 8 when they start sponsoring. (Thank you, Pulsating Explosive!) -Trainers will be removed altogether. -Stat boost items will have explicit fixed values. (1 for most, 3 for “large boost”) The Golden Kanohi and Staff of Mind Reading will be removed. -Champions still get a free item. The reigning Cham

Bioni-Lords Clearance: Book 3 Part 2

Volt-Isle and Fe-Isle could be presented in either order. While it does make sense that the gang would go to Fe-Isle first, given Genakex is a Steel specialist, I was thinking of visiting Volt-Isle first, since we used Fe-Isle first in Sekai and I wanted to begin showing Zempyst and Aile sooner. As I’ve shown in previews, these two are in a relationship, with Aile being hyperactive and clingy and Zempyst being a total tsundere. I was planning to involve the Assassination Division: while Aile

Bioni-Lords Clearance: Book 3 Part 1

So, Book 3. Gonna take a while to get all this out.   Le-Isle was pretty much done by Chapter 49. I was planning for Nidovikk to leave for Ta-Isle to pay an extended visit to Takama. I also considered saying he would stop to see his children along the way, since earlier I had mentioned that he was a father and I wanted to make at least a small callback. I don’t think it was ever 100% decided exactly what Riken is…I’m also not sure if we were going to decide. He could very easily be left a m
