The last post was deleted due to one of the wank participants being a minor (in case you were wondering where it went. Maybe. Maybe not).

Just try not to wank minors, okay? Especially if they say right upfront, "I AM SIXTEEN."

Oh ah well

Anyone for some crispy unfunny Anita Sarkeesian liking fanfics where she brutally murders a dude? Bruhaha over thew new MLP season? Adventure Time Lemongrab meltdown? Teeth-gnashing over the German national team blowing out against Paraguay? Xbox versus PS4 throwdown to end all throwdowns?

That one sounds fun.

Most of it that I've seen has been on Tumblr which has been expressed in random pictures but I think collectively speaking the fans are approaching the "WHY GOD WHY" point. We'll see come September!
In the meantime here's this

(I just think it's funny, especially after the last one. But the best console otu there to me is 3DS which apparently doesn't count or something. Whatever man POKEMON IS COMING PREPARE FOR WAR)

Someone in the Animal Crossing reviews on amazon claimed that the 3DS was failing as a console. Um. Yeah. Apparently "bestselling" means "failure" -- who knew?

Well clearly smartphones are going to kill off mobile gaming entirely AND IF ONLY NINTENDO WOULD FAIL SO THAT I COULD PLAY POKEMON ON MY IPHONE THINK OF THE $$$

Well it's standard JRPG faire with a really low chance to get the neutral ending but the sheer amount of boob and penis monsters kind of got mind-numbingly awkward after a certain point.

If you're a big fan of JRPGS, you'll like it. If you're not, it's just okay. But my favorite is still FF12 so~o...

It's kind of like Pokemon meets Final Fantasy except supposedly ~mature and deep~

Which mostly means really NSFW penis monsters

Well, I hate FF12, and I love basically everything Atlus does, so I'm looking forward to SMT. I love their boob and penis monsters. It's not that they're going ooh edgy -- it's that they're not censoring. These are demons, ffs.

Though I'm completely addicted to Animal Crossing at the moment.

There is some censoring of the really obvious nipples (at least in the US version it happened with Diana but not Tiamat) but TBH, I can't quite blame Nintendo. They did that really big promotion between SMT and Fire Emblem so I think they were mildly paranoid about how many people would be buying the game.

I really did like Animal Crossing but I got tired of it after the grinding became a little too tedious. Right now I am holding out for the Wonderful 101 and then later on Pokemon and Sonic: Lost World.

The weirdest was the lady made o' boobs. I'm really not sure what they were going for there besides "BOOBS! BOOBS EVERYWHERE!"

Ironically I quite like the angel designs except they're still too humanoid o well

I think that was probably the only point. Boobs, boobs everywhere. P3 is my first foray into the SMT franchise; I was looking over the weapon fusion lists going "Okay, so I need Mara to make Akihiko's ultimate weapon, if I fuse this and this and this I get Mara OH MY FUCKING GOD WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST MAKE." Once you see that, you cannot unsee it.

The angels weren't bad. I have, like. The Angel Squadron as my Persona lineup. Gabriel's total lack of elemental weaknesses is a major bonus.

Huang Long + Shiva + Vishnu is kind of the untouchables as far as I am concerned

But it just got to a point of "Okay seriously? Seriously, why does this exist i that a vagina dentata what the hell man

I'm sure it's a meta-commentary on ancient civilization's fixation on sex and fertility but it just got weird. And kind of pointless when there are so many different combinations and so little guidance as to which fusions give the best benefits. The demon fusion idea is awesome - the Guide Dang It aspect not so much

Yeah, I went into this cold. My poor innocent mind knew nothing of this horror and was purely thinking 'make ultimate weapon' and then I realized too late that 'make ultimate weapon' required 'make giant penis on wheels'. (Alas, Mara is also the only Persona with Maralagidyne. There's a Skill Card for the spell, but Mara is the only one to cough it up, so if you want that you have to carry the penis around.)

I don't understand how ANYONE could get through the fusion without a guide. I spent the first part of my first P3 run just kind of fusing everything together willy-nilly trying to see what I could make.

SMT4 takes it to absolutely absurd levels. Like, were it not for the completely broken DLC all I'd be doing is grinding so that I can purchase monsters to fuse them properly. And it's not even wroth it!!

It's not that I hate the game - it's mediocre to decent at best, but the sheer amount of everything is just so... pointless. At least with Pokemon the whole leveling / evolution / type comparisons is very simple mechanically. Not so much here and it kind of makes me laugh when people are like "It's SUPPOSED to be a hard game for advanced players!" because it is not so much that as simply counterintuitive.

I completely filled out my Compendium, finally, so I just loaded way the hell up on yen so the next run I can actually whip on the extra bosses and really FINISH the game. (I'm a completionist, I have to get ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in every game I play. Pokemon takes me forever.)

Yeah, "hard" and "counterintuitive" aren't the same thing. I'd rate P3 as being legitimately pretty tough, without the whole fusion thing, because the fusion isn't hard so much as it is aggravating sometimes. It's hard to get the very highest-end Personas, sure, because you have to fuse several other things to get there and you have to be a high level yourself, but that's more along the lines of just grinding.

Social Links are a whole new brand of hair-pulling though.

I've always felt that if you go into a MegamiTensei game without a guide or a FAQ you are doing it wrong.

And sometimes they don't even help that much.

In conclusion fuck the Labyrinth of Amala. If Lucifer wants my help he can ask politely like he did in all the other games.

I think "fusing things together all willy-nilly" pretty much sums it up, even if you had a guide...

I accidentally fused the highest Temperance persona without realizing it the first time.

That double snake thingamabobber is still one of the most useful Personas I've got.
