  • Aaaand I had a dream that the Prime Minister of Canada had hired the record-holder for "Most Apathetic Man in the World" to assassinate Proton Jon. Then the dream kind of faded out, and the last thing I heard was my mother asking, "So, did they really find his dead body on the toilet? That's an undignified way to go..."

    Then I woke up...but she was still talking. Turns out she had managed to wake me up by speaking very loudly about the circumstances of the death of Elvis Presley.
    Okay. And I have nothing to add (although, in my mind, I can't help adding the whole "WHO WON?! WHO'S NEXT?! YOU DECIDE!!" thing from Epic Rap Battles of History).
    Speaking of, totally not a belated question: was I supposed to add anything to the thing, or is that /slash now?
    You know, I hadn't come up with a New Year's resolution yet. I think I'll aim to use more bullshit proverbs and attempt to pass them off as actual expressions. So, 2015 shall be the year Tess ambigulously listens with both ears.
    Yeah, that's the only complaint that holds any weight. But that alone is insufficient to warrant the hate the game has attracted. Besides, they had the right idea in terms of including it; they just...well, to put it in old terms by way of an unusual metaphor, they got happy with a marker-pen, so to speak.
    My only criticism, outside of that, is that there's a bit too much throwaway dialogue between the playable characters. But that's personal taste.
    Also, I got RoL today, and it turns out that I was right all along-- the game actually isn't a buggy mess at all. I encountered a grand total of one glitch, during my playthrough thus far; it wasn't anything game-breaking (it might even have just been something I did), and it was resolved by saving, quitting, and coming back to the game. Anyone likening it to '06 needs a good slap to the face.

    If anything, the only accurate review of it, in accordance with my experiences, is Austin's: that it's not a mess; it's just a bit boring, gameplay-wise. But that's fine by me; I'm content to view it as a slightly more intense visual-novel, of sorts. An episode of the TV series, but with gameplay. That's kind of what it feels like, which isn't good for a game, I know, but I'm okay with it. Partly because of how en pointe the writing is.
    What really gets me is the stipulation that I shouldn't want one because I had one yesterday...not because it isn't a thing, or anything like that...
    It's fine. Perhaps it'll lift your spirits in that department to hear of a Non-Sequitur Thud my mother delivered the other day.

    She had fallen asleep watching TV, but woke up when I came into the room. She looked over at me, and asked, "Why do you want a potato-shower? You had one yesterday."
    The obsession with potatoes must run in the family.
    I can hardly blame Evan for being so forward, though, considering the only other male on the team, prior to Latios' arrival, was Ezra, and Ezra is in a league of his own. The rest of the team revere him like some kind of deity (most likely because he's far and away the strongest and most overlevelled on the team). And I can only describe his personality as "kind of like if Cyril had been a pimp".
    I took a break from playing, shortly after first obtaining Latios, so I could use the sleep, and so I imagined my team camping on that route for the night, with Latios anxious about Team Magma's intentions, and Evan telling him to calm down, all the while attempting to massage the stress out of his back.
    But only one of them can be shipped with Evan the Linoone, my Camp Gay HM-slave, who, I imagine, wears an adorable purple scarf whose origins are completely unexplained, and that has no tactical advantage to offer as a result of being worn.

    ...And, yes, I ship him with Latios.
