Lord Phobos



Lord Phobos is the leader of his planet/colony/place-that-he-reigns-over. His primary duties are the usual monarch-type duties people in his sort of position are meant to do. When he's not doing any of that political stuff, he's...well, he's expanding the population.

Phobos, as a Lord-caste, is the sole male in his colony of producing offspring. Thus, he spends most of his free time with his harem, which consists of the colony's breeder-caste. For most colony lords, this would be part of the job. Phobos has somehow come to enjoy it for some odd reason...

However, Phobos is primarily what most people would call a tyrant. His ambition is to have the entire universe under his heel, and he sees a perfect opportunity to expand his empire when a certain four-armed purple space vixen lands in his throne room one day. By copulating with Io, he hopes to make a means to take over her planet without a fight.

...He has no idea what he's getting himself into...

Takin the day off in Minecraft

Well, not really. I never made a sprite in Minecraft before, so thought I'd try it at least once. Creative mode was the excuse I needed.



Once you've played out minecraft, there's really nothing fun to do in it. It had been maybe more than 2 months since the last time I gave it a go, and honestly, after 5 mins I was already asking myself "wtf do I do now? there's no objective in this stupid game"

I know, I know... That's the point. It's a sandbox game in it's purest form, but I started playing it cause I didn't know what else to do.

Colors available are rather limiting to do sprites, which makes it sorta challenging to pick your palette.

Minecraft is a neat engine, I just wish there was some sort of goal to the game. Either that or way more blocks to make more elaborate things. I like the concept but I find the execution lacking.



Bonus points if you know which game that character is from btw.

New Bro Team Pill: Modern Warfare 3

This one is really short



I never played any MW game, but I'm reading that the joke is the footage is all from MW2.

This really isn't one of their best.

Didn't take long for people to learn how to break Skyrim



So basically, that's it. Get anything you want and no "halt criminal scum" I guess.

I gotta admire they coded merchants having to actually see you steal their stuff to accuse you of such, but facepalm at the fact no one in the world will object to have you stuff their head inside something.

Amazing.

This next vid is just a compilation of "stuff over the head".



I played tons of oblivion, and honestly, thought it was boring as fuck. I probably won't try Skyrim unless there's an amazing mod made for it or something.

Hedgehog Hammer



One thing I've been hearing a lot is how disappointed people are that there's no classic version of Amy in Sonic Generations. Could there have been? Sure. Is it a huge detriment that there isn't?...Well no. Not really. I'm gonna go off for a bit here.

Now, the game uses classic versions of Sonic and Tails as separate characters. In Sonic's case, it the entire point of the game. Tails arguably didn't need a classic version, but they decided the fans would prefer classic Sonic to be completely devoid of a voice, and thus classic Tails exists solely to speak on classic Sonic's behalf. That, and tell people what to do. And fanservice.

Tails is a bit of a special case, as he offers a bit more variety in terms of gameplay. They seem to have omitted the entire arc of Tails' character arc in Sonic Adventure where he mans up and actually starts to stand on his own instead of being reliant on Sonic all the time. Classic Tails acts like he's always been that way, and they kind of missed an opportunity for classic Tails to be inspired by how confident his future self is. They basically have classic Sonic do it instead. Apparently he thinks his future self is pretty damn cool.

But we're here to talk about Amy. A classic "original Sonic recolor" version of Amy might've been nice. But really, in the long run what would be the point? Classic Amy is a Sonic-obsessed girl that chases after him and swings a giant pervert-repelling hammer. Modern Amy is...a Sonic-obsessed girl that chases after him and swings a giant pervert-repelling hammer. Classic Amy was basically a minor character that mostly only showed up in spin-off games. It really wasn't until Sonic Adventure when she became a more substantial recurring character. What would classic Amy offer the game's playability? What about cutscenes? Does the cast really need to be bigger than it already is?...Do you really want more than one of...THAT running around trying to glomp Sonic? What would be the point?

I'm sure there's probably artwork of her you could unlock somewhere in the game. You'd actually have to, you know, PLAY IT, though. Or you could just Google it.

Way to go Valve, finding new ways to disapoint

This is rather self explanatory:



tl;dr: Valve was hacked into and everyone's info was accessed, including credit card info, account passwords, etc.

Credit card info was encrypted, so it's potentially safe still. But as I tend to say: the seed of doubt has been planted.

That's just what I needed today: A nice feeling of insecurity.

Yet another Forsken World event: Devotion


In the last expansion, FW introduced tons of very advantageous features. This event uses one of them, namely the devotion system.

In short, it's a system that rewards you for logging in on consecutive days with tokens, exp, soul coins and, after the 3rd consecutive day, you get to re-randomize one of your gems. The later also enables you to get Goldspark gems (increases crit chance), which normally don't drop from gemboxes.

The tokens are used in a new "shop", which has TONS of very very useful things you can claim. normally you get more as you level up. But you're able to claim a free one each day as well.

This event gives you a lot of bonus tokens.



Duration of the event:
  • From 11/9 to 11/14

How to qualify for the prize:

  • Retain their position on consecutive login days.
I admit, it sounds confusing said like that, but that's how the official site describes it. I think it means that on the last day, whatever is your consecutive login value is, is what determines the prize.

Prize:

  • For 1 consecutive day: 50 Bonus favor
  • For 2 consecutive day: 75 Bonus favor
  • For 3 or more consecutive day: 100 Bonus favor


The "Favors" are the tokens used in the shop.



This event is extremely easy to participate in, and the reward is VERY good considering what they ask you to do:

Once a day, log in, and that's it.

If you got multiple character, you'll have to do it with all of them, but still, barely any hassle at all. Great event.
