So what you're saying is your car runs on acorns and donkey shit
No seriously do you see dis bitch This is what I have to put up with Bless u madam PaW just stop, nobody's broken a rule Jay's just expressing his contempt for a rule in the most bass-ackwards way possible Don't blow your load before your partner's even in the mood, catch my drift? E: WELL NVM NOW I CAN'T EVEN DEFEND HIM 'CAUSE GOADING ACTUALLY IS BREAKING DA WOOLS. FIRE AWAY, CORPORAL. Fair
I hope you don't take offense to the following and if you do I sincerely apologize, I do not mean to devalue the original comment but HEY JAY GUESS WHO'S BETTER AT READING PEOPLE THAN YOU ARE? THIS MOTHERFUCKER. POINT MOI
See, here's the thing You're not allowed to call double fault when you're one of the offenders ya lummox
Cam's allowed to be serious. Usually there's an indication that he's screwing around; I figured this was an exception to his usual behavior. All it really needs is for people to leave each other the fresh hell alone. We all just responded the way we felt was appropriate. Not every post is understood for its intention. It ain't a tragedy that one of Cam's jokes went unnoticed, believe me, he'll make plenty more in his lifetime. Better inspiring messages than cruel ones. Not what I meant.
LAND A' GOSHEN, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WILL ARGUE ABOUT ANYTHING WON'T YOU?
Appeal to Law. PENALTY. Two minutes on the bench. This is my favorite post in the thread
First off, there's little to no indication of what Cam's actually going for here. I myself got mixed signals and simply chose to respond in a way I saw fit, without making too many assumptions. Second, once you're lookin' at it, it's a little too late to choose not to. I think it's a fair response to open dialogue about it, and if it kills the joke for you, well, you can always move on to another thread, can't you? And third, you don't have to be considerate, but not doing so makes you a lout. Save the shit-slinging for the people in the arena with you, don't chuck it into the stands. And on that note... SILENCE, LOUT GROWN-UPS ARE TALKING Excuse you, ma'am! Jay is currently in the process of being going to happen and in fact happening as we speak >:c
The set of four images under which is written the notice about it all being concept art. I thought they were considering multiple art styles? But on second thought the bottom three images could be game manual prototypes. Either way, I don't know if I'm comfortable with the size of the sprites in the larger image. I feel like it would inhibit both design and gameplay. But maybe I'm just being a worrywart.
I'm just happy he got to live a long, fulfilling life in the business. It's always sad to see the greats go, but he won't be the last great filmmaker. He had his run, and it was a good one; that's all we can ask for.
I WASU MADE TO HEET IN AMERICAAAAAAAAA So which of the art styles does everyone like the most in the mock gameplay screens? I'm partial to the smaller ones; not as technically impressive, but a smaller character sprite means larger and more complex environments can be built around him. Plus then you can see a decent distance away from your hurtbox, thus avoiding the Sonic pitfall of "Jesus Christ why can't I see anything that's trying to kill me."
Gonna call that an outlier Most rads would condemn the show and anyone watching it to the bowels of bloody hell
That's what no What religious person can you think of who would be attracted to Eva It's got gratuitous blood and murder and cursing and boobage and ephebophilia and giant monsters and LIVING IN SIN!! The symbolism is trying to go YEEGLE WARBLE FLARGLE YARGH THE END TIMES ARE UPON US Christian symbolism is popular in Japan because it's mysterious, not because they want everyone to be Christian That's an American thing
...What No that's exactly the problem It is trying to be preachy and failing It's possible to implement religious symbolism as a substantial part of the narrative without it being overt or alienating to other cultures What Evangelion does is try to pretend all of these symbols are meaningful and important, thus fooling the ignorant and weirding out everyone else
Ehhhh I'm still not sold on it People are saying there are hints that Rebuild is actually a continuation, not a remake which immediately draws my thoughts to the "7 reincarnations of the universe" hooplah that crops up in a couple mythologies, Jewish mysticism included if I'm not mistaken Not that the signs aren't there, the argument's convincing What I'm not sold on is this being, y'know, a decent idea plot-wise I'm just terrified everyone's gonna relapse and die neurotic again, and ruin all my good impressions of the new series
It's like I'm setting threads on fire
There's fear in everything, but there's love in it all too. I guess it's just about figuring out what you love most and serving it with everything you do.
Not so much fake as it was pointless, which is pretty much what I meant by "gratuitous." I figured a word to denote the sheer fucking mass of it all was more important than a word to emphasize what is a dreadfully common practice in anime. Like either make a statement with it or move that shit outta the way, I'm trying to watch these big honkers punch each other. FOR NO RAISIN ...Well actually apparently Rebuild is building on that (OR SHOULD I SAY REBUILDING HNERK) but everything else is basically confirmed to be in there to elicit unwarranted oohs and ahhs Even the name Evangelion is just supposed to sound cool
Because the "Refusing the call" character fit perfectly into the climate of its time, where many existing mechas casually glossed over a child's willingness to become a soldier, pilot a giant death robot and kill other living things to save his/her own life. The archetype rang truer to life than many of its contemporaries, in addition to being an interesting archetype from any angle and welcome in the pursuit of variety Shinji's daddy issues are both palpable and organic, and the range of advice he receives from other characters about it is also natural-sounding and leads to moments where he has a flicker of understanding about his father the combination of these presents Shinji with a realistic conflict of interests: where he recognizes the power he has and the responsibility that comes with it, and wants to make his father proud; but on the other hand pines for a normal life with his friends and family and becomes distraught the more he realizes he may never have that - thus torn between selfishness or suffering Rebuild further enhances his character by taking him out of his damnable head once in a while to actually interact with the other characters instead of constantly blow them off to think about his dad. Even if he is still awkward and antisocial as a whole, this makes it far more bearable giving him a wider range of emotions - some happy moments, some sad moments, some excited or agitated or embarrassed or angry moments - as well as more concrete, healthy emotional bonds with people who aren't his dad, his psycho roommate, or his ephebo mother figure actually rewarding him for his hardship at certain intervals, a trend which hopefully means the ending won't be a pointless, status-quo downer ending where everyone must suffer because Evangelion is suffering He's a character that's hard to write but that doesn't mean he's a bad character. You just have to be aware of the speed bumps. Rebuild shows much better attention to detail in terms of characters, and that alone puts it ahead of the original thus far. People can complain that it's just an action show now, but if they stripped away all the stupid pretentious bullshit, plagiarizing old dead white men, and gratuitous Christian symbolism from the original and this is what was left, what were we really watching it for if not to see teenagers cry and giant cyborgs eat each other?
IT'S "SEID IHR DAS ESSEN? NEIN, WIR SIND DER JÄGER" I knew "Sind sie" sounded funny
