For me it looked like blue and gold, though I was also able to see it as a white and gold dress photoshopped in from a picture taken in a blue-lit room.

I liked most of the variety missions, although admittedly IntSys Fog Of War is sadistic madness. I'd really like the alternate mission types back. I feel like they're going to find some way of fitting in child characters again. Probably not going to recycle the time travel shenanigans, but...

My bet is that's a Manakete or possibly a mage of some kind. Strange hair, glowing pendant, dragon imagery.

I personally don't terribly mind fanservice and don't think it's ruining anime. Sure, I sigh when I see yet another "fall and grope chest" moment, and some of the outfits get just plain silly, but it has to get really egregious to ruin things for me. I do not believe it particularly hurts the...

I should probably have mentioned this earlier, but we're probably not going to get anywhere with this argument (I mean, even more than usual) unless we actually decide what our criteria for calling a female character a ***** is. Personally, I only use it for female characters I don't like. Also...

Well, actually, males totally do like asshole characters. Not all of them, of course, but lots of them. I guess I can only speak for myself on why I sometimes like them. First, they tend to get lots of really amusing lines and actions. If there's a mean joke of some description available, it...

Personally, I like it when the hero finds a clever way to beat the invincible villain without having to go acquire something. It can sometimes be really satisfying overwhelming them in a brute contest of strength, but victory by quick thinking feels more earned.

@NoX 9 Always kind of a tough question. I'd recommend Fullmetal Alchemist:Brotherhood. It's a setting where alchemists are basically wizards who can transmute matter into other forms, and there's a sinister conspiracy afoot. The key rule is called the Law Of Equivalent exchange: to obtain...

-Saber from Fate/Zero, Mikoto from A Certain Scientific Railgun, Asselyum from Aldnoah.zero, Nanoha from her own series. Saber is a valiant and noble knight, and does her best to try engaging opponents in honorable battle. Unfortunately, she's getting summoned forth into a war between mages...

The A Certain Magical Index PSP game has FUZE=Kazakiri and someone possessed by Archangel Gabriel.

The reason we keep seeing the same X, be it plot, character, gameplay, or art style, over and over is that someone did it and it was good. The thing is, stuff doesn't stop being good by virtue of being done over and over, or even done badly over and over. People like that archetype when...

Awakening is relatively mild in that regard compared to New Mystery, since it gives you fair warning that they'll be showing up and indicates the general area. Also I'm pretty sure it only once dropped several high-movement units in the area you started in and warned you about that one in the...

I sacrificed a couple of characters in 9, specifically Rolf and Reyson. Technically Reyson just got hospitalized, but it did cost me his services and filled the remander of the game with moments where I had a scenario in which everything would be perfect if I had him around. In Awakening, I...

I generally only savescum in XCOM when literally my entire squad dies, and reload to the start of the mission. If the squadsight sniper survives, it's all good. The thing is, unlike in the original if you abort or lose you get all your stuff back. Even squaddies can be effective when fully...

Why do pacemakers even have wifi connections that allow firmware updates? Why would you ever need to do that?
