"Did you think that only men could be vampires?"

"No, it's just so unexpected!"

"One more word from you and I'll sue you for gender discrimination!"

~Vampireville, 2010

I love the idea of a vampire taking a human to court and claiming he's sexist because he was surprised that she is a vampire.

When I found videos of this game (a game, not to get it confused with the 3rd Vampire Kisses book of the same name, that's how I found it), was NOT expecting it to be comedic. Then there was this goofy ass scream in the first episode, a talking ghost dog who apparently was payed in gold coins to guard the house, and the vampire butler's face is practically ripped from Ratatouille

Was anyone going to tell me Primavera starts with the himemiya military company getting involved in a foreign country's domestic conflict or was I suppose to find that out myself.

Day 615

I forgot until now that about two weeks ago I was playing a game called Doronko Wanko. It’s a strange game, not just in premise, but in who designed the game. The game was developed by Bandai Namco Studios, but published by Phoenixx Inc, instead of Bandai Namco themselves.

It’s unusual for two reasons, one, Bandai is the company most well known for Tekken (and maybe Soulcalibur back in the mid 90s to early 2000s), along with a bunch of anime franchises, and two, the game was for free. 

Completely free, not even any microtransactions as far as I can tell. It is just a cute, short game about a mischievous muddy pomeranian who gets a whole clean house dirty. 

That it’s, that’s the game.

You play a pomeranian and the purpose is to get the whole house full of mud and paint, racking up a huge cleaning bill in the process. It’s an adorable, silly game with game mechanics so easily learnt and well built tutorial, that even if you forget to change the language to English, you can still play the game. The gameplay loop is so tight that even though the game is only an hour long (less than that if you sped through it) it’s enjoyable from beginning to end. It came up with a silly game mechanic and then proceeded to execute perfectly.

It’s just really weird that it’s Bandai Namco, who have been in the gaming sphere for a long time. If this game had been released by a small indie dev, for free, one would assume it was just someone’s pet project. Though it does make me wonder, if maybe it was still a pet project, or rather a training project. 

There has been some talk about the lack of learning opportunities within the very large gaming studios. Gaming studios that tend to focus on AAA games with incredibly large scopes and very specific genres, or franchises. As a result, there isn’t a chance to learn new skills in making games for both new developers coming into the field and veterans in a way that doesn’t have a high cost. Making a smaller game like Doronko Wanko gives developers a chance to learn new skills without it costing a larger game. And if they happen to make a new franchise as a result of excellent feedback, all the better.

This could be very well a test run for another type of game. Or maybe, one day we’ll just get a longer game about a muddy pom out to make a mess of everything. Not sure how you’d make a longer game out of that, but it sounds like fun.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

okay good night

my favorite scene in all of literature is when Neil Josten wakes up in Columbia after being drugged, hurls an alarm clock at Aaron, dumps his water on the floor and throws the cup at Aaron, stuff his clothes down the toilet and squeezes out through the window, has the foresight to call Matt from a pay phone to protect his shit, hitch hikes back to campus, eyes back to brown?? shows up on Wymack’s door like 😜 and reveals he could speak German the whole time?? CHARACTER OF ALL TIME, that is a protagonist who knows how MOVE THE MFING PLOT ALONG

For any football fans who like good, not-sloppy offense, this UFL Panthers-Stallions game may as well have a NSFL warning. Not NSFW, but NSFL.

If you're a fan of defense, then it should shoot up to the front page of a certain website that the kiddos shouldn't be on.
