Nasty business about a beheading in London.

Three months of anti-Muslim British patriotism incoming.

Joy of joys.

RIPE FRUIT.

I seeeee.

Mesh likes the older gentlemen.

Very telling.

Today will be a good Internet day, i feel.

Does anyone ever talk in this thing?

Who are these idlers. Did they just open up the IRC one day and decide to leave it open FOREVER.

What use are you over in America, Agent. D.

I need you to help me move furniture, my girly arms are not fit for the job.

Same, haha. A lot of the way things moved in Nocturne freaked me out to be honest, the jittering of the manakins, Yuko-Aradia, etc.

Which is fine, as I said I'm cool with it being stylized.

Yuko Takao's design is classy.

That's not really what I was getting at. You can have stylized clothing in a game, but it should be practical for what the situation is. Fighting endlessly on a barren wasteland, probably going to need some form of protection. If it's jumpsuit, so be it.

A thong and bra with an open jacket isn't fit for purpose. It's not even a matter of being covered up, I wonder if perhaps Argilla would benefit (freedom of movement) from the jumpsuits the men wear.

Seriously, I'm cool with the jumpsuits. Zelenin wears one in Strange Journey, she wasn't wearing a thong or wearing an ankle-length skirt attached to her Demonica. So clearly I don't think its all bad, I just don't see anything that makes Kaneko an artist that we could say "his women wear clothes real women would wear" about.

Chiaki in Nocturne doesn't wear anything that says "this is ridiculous anime clothing", but at the same time I can't say I've seen any girls wear that get up. A blue denim long-sleeved dress thing, with front zip from breast to neck with a clasp collar with frill trim.

I'll say it again, I don't mind this. I LIKE the designs, I just don't think it's what women would wear.

I can't say Kaneko has a talent for designing things women would wear at all. Jinana in Digital Devil Saga for an example.

Of course her mark was on her butt cheek so..

Perhaps they over do the stereotypical gay thing because they don't actually show the actual gay things about them. They aren't physically intimate and they aren't shown as having a sex life like the other couples, Phil and Claire and Jay and Gloria.

Yep, they are both pretty darn similar. I was always more drawn to Zues though for the stronger focus on mythology, it's the same reasons why I liked Age of Mythology over Age of Empires.

You are totally right. :) The game has a lot of personality to it, which really makes it feel alive.

I saw it when I was flicking through GOG last weekend and I was hit with the nostalgia train, cause I spent a lot of time messing with this game as a kid. Seriously fuck the combat system though, it's a dark stain on an almost perfect game.

Made a kick-ass city in Zues: Master of Olympus. Then BAM! Windows update. -.-
