I had such high hopes for this game — was really looking forward to it — and it was a disappointment in just about every way. Except the art, which was stunningly gorgeous. Everything else was a clusterfuck. (more…)

St. Elmo's Fire on Torment: Tides of NumeneraHaving done the House of Empty Time sequence with Rhin, I'm pretty annoyed that she and the game treat you like a monster for doing it. By any logical…
Roarke on Radiant HistoriaGood thing I ended up not finishing the remake, sheesh. I'm not surprised to hear it; the original was perfect and still basically the best jRPG.
St. Elmo's Fire on Radiant HistoriaI just finished the remake myself. For some reason, it felt a lot harder even though I seemed much higher level, plus the support moves should have ma…
A Wild Birb Appears on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsOh, that makes more sense. I still disagree, but I think at this point it's a matter of opinion and how far we're willing to suspend disbelief rather…
St. Elmo's Fire on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsMy point is, how would Benson know he's exclusively attracted to male humans if he's never met a male human? Even if he figured some things out by obs…
A Wild Birb Appears on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsOh, I misunderstood what you were arguing in that case! I do disagree, though: for the general concept of attraction/queerness he could very well have…
St. Elmo's Fire on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsNo, I'm arguing it makes no sense for someone who has never met another human in his life to understand what sexual orientation is.
SpoonyViking on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsHold on, now, it almost seems like you are arguing queerness is a modern phenomenon.
St. Elmo's Fire on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsYes, it's part of a larger plot hole. Like I said, I'm willing to suspend disbelief that they share language, but the idea that Benson would even unde…
A Wild Birb Appears on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsA question? Benson (and Dave and Wolf except for when it's a joke that she doesn't and Kipo and several "mutes") use a lot of vocabulary understandabl…
St. Elmo's Fire on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsYes, exactly. So change the context instead of the character. Give him a backstory that doesn't make us question how he knows vocabulary understandabl…
SpoonyViking on Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts"Form follows function" is a good principle for architecture, not necessarily for Literature or Dramaturgy. Do we need the Star Wars movies to be enti…
St. Elmo's Fire on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsI disagree. Form follows function. If you have a core idea you don't want to compromise, you need to make the rest of the story support that. (Also, a…
Spoony Viking on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsThat seems unnecessarily restrictive. By the way, it seems I can't post a reply using my account, only as a guest?
St. Elmo's Fire on Kipo and the Age of WonderbeastsDo we actually know he had no human contact? No, and I figure he must have, but we haven't seen his origin in two seasons. The distinction between bur…
