  1. Why the Mass Effect franchise succeeds as an RPG despite its endings

    WARNING: HEAVY SPOILERS FOR ME3 AHEAD, DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE FINISHED THE GAME.

    Let me start this off by saying that I have never been as deeply disappointed in the ending of a game as I was at the ending of Mass Effect 3. For a franchise that makes such emphasis on choices and their consequences, Bioware seemingly forgot about the most important consequence in a story: the resolution of the conflict. I could go on and on about why the endings are crap (choose the color of your ...

    Hate it, love it, Sonic has a lot of awesome music. Because of its extended gallery, I'm just going to list the main series. Everyone okay with this? Awesome, let's do this.

    Sonic The Hedgehog - Green Hill Zone.


    The Sonic song. Remixed a lot of times, on Sonic Advance 3, as the best Sonic vocal theme, even if by accident, it's pretty much the most known song from the series.

    About 12% (1 page and a bit) done with Trinity's next chapter - hopefully up Tuesday, if not tomorrow.

    I'm having a hard time focussing, over the last little while. Despite the fact that my original novel idea (not Trick or Treat, but one I had before that) has gotten some new life pumped into it, breaking a six year writer's block, I'm still not past the prologue. It's a little bit frustrating, especially since some of my other recurring ideas are part of the problem, but I'm still ...

    You know, I didn't think this is necessary. But I found one of the worst fanfics I've read to date, so I think it actually is (And that includes the fanfic I briefly spotted on Fanfiction.net several years ago, "Ranma eats shit and likes it".

  5. My beautiful cohost ... somewhere, out there in the universe! ... answer my call!

    Though I still have no idea how I'm going to go about doing this, and I still need to buy a fancy VO microphone, I'd like to find a partner for Beast's Lair Radio!

    Beast's Lair Radio will be a thread where we release a little joke broadcast every so often. Said broadcasts will involve music, updates on fics/pics/other stuff produced by members of the board, the latest news involving the board or any Type Moon material, segments revolving around certain themes, conversations with "listeners", ...
