Good. I've finalized the intricate support web that I'll be using for the rest of the game and using Lucius would screw it up.CM156 said:

Animal farm is great, as is 1984. My favorite fiction book is Catch-22, but Kurt Vonnegut's breakfast of champions and Cat's Craddle come in close seconds.CM156 said:The consequences will never be the same!sextus the crazy said:

I don't really have a favorite book. I read to many to pick a favorite. I used to be really obsessed with Harry Potter, but after reading it a thousand times, it kind of lost it's appeal...Still remember every little detail.sextus the crazy said:[HEADING=2]Let?s Play Fire Emblem: Chapter 7x: The Black Shadow[/HEADING]
Alright, the first gaiden (side) chapter. And It?s real short.
Another abandoned castle in Kathelet? Come to think of it, where the fuck was everyone in Kathelet?
Did no one live in the castle?
Ivy? Is that you?
I?m sorry what you have is not a trap; it?s a bunch of dispersed troops.
This is a trap:
IT SPREADS!
They ought to be, but they?re not.
As far as you know, Lyn.
Rath, Come to us!
That plan is sound. Personally, I want to go with something more along the lines of this:
go to (2:38) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVW1VaquxKo&t=2m38s]
They?re certainly packin? heat.
Good job, Nils.
?do I fix the blurb size? It?s bothering me.
?Elite? Assassins.
Oh Teh Noes!
Don?t have anyone who needs it.
Florina?s now a bulky, mobile Lyn.
Ooo? That has to hurt.
Good job, Lyn.
Inch my way back.
Well, your inability to move is pretty damning.
Healing abuse before finishing the boss.
2 things.
1. Erk, you disappoint me.
2. Why you always get physically tanky
Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!
No Shit, Sherlock?
You can?t stall forever ya little shits.
It?s funny in context.
A much-needed break from long chapters, and a little look ahead.
Question of the day: Couldn?t think of a level appropriate question, so just some personal questions.
What?s your favorite book(s) and/or series? Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?
And the award for most nonsensical chapter title goes to: Fire Emblem for Vortex of Strategy!!sextus the crazy said:[HEADING=2]Let's Play Fire emblem: Chapter 8: Vortex of Strategy[/HEADING]
What the fuck does the title even mean?
I think assassins don?t deploy heavy weapons and armor.
You are on the way to destruction.
You have no chance to survive make your time.
Wonder twins powers activate! Form of a CIWS!
What was that, you two? And more importantly, how did you miss the bolt?
This isn?t a group of assassins; this is a artillery battery. Learn the Difference, Lundgren!
Stay aground, Florina!
And a howitzer is really just a large rifle, so the skills must be transferrable
Ground Florina? She?s integral to my plan!
Minstrel, Play me a song to rejuvenate my flying stamina!
Flying targets, an AA-guns worst nightmare.
Oh shit.
The Lyn Dissolves into mist.
The Mist is Coalescing! Strike now!

Someone?s on the ballista again?!
Screw the rules! I?m a reaver!

Mick Shrimpton?s now a brigand.
Now that?s how ya do it! Also, Lyn?s beefier than the lot of ya.
Shouldn?t the non-combat unit get the shitty levels?
Leave it to reaver.
Not the most inspiring words to come from a CO.
Res, plz.
Don?t count on it. It?s too crowded, so no one comes here.
I got this itch that I can?t scratch with all this armor on.
Yeah, fuck them!
Just in time to do FUCKING NOTHING!
What a shocking turn of events.
I?m going to guess that It?s his large army that scares them.
Like Pinochet, Lundgren is a great magician. He can make all of his dissenters, disappear.
Metal gear and Frank Sinatra lied to me!
We?re fucked.
You have his word?

Question of the day: What do you think of the story so far? The first 10 chapters of the game are an extended tutorial/prologue, before the real story starts.
Well, it is a nintendo game, after all. They're not know for deep stories, so much as memorable characters. Fire emblem 4 & 5 (Geneology of the Holy War & Thracia 776) actually have pretty deep and mature stories, but they're japan only (unless you play with a translated rom). I think part of the worsening of stories is due to the fact that after Thracia came out, the series creator, Shouzou Kaga, left intelligent systems.StorytellingIsAMust said:And the award for most nonsensical chapter title goes to: Fire Emblem for Vortex of Strategy!!sextus the crazy said:[HEADING=2]Let's Play Fire emblem: Chapter 8: Vortex of Strategy[/HEADING]

Question of the day: What do you think of the story so far? The first 10 chapters of the game are an extended tutorial/prologue, before the real story starts.
I like the tutorial story, but it doesn't get really fun until you start Eliwood and Hector's story. I just marvel at how surprised the characters become at revelations that I already figured out with simple logic: ie, Lundgren is poisoning the Marquess? I literally guessed poison as soon as Sain said he was ill.
Then again, the Fire Emblem series' stories in general are very simplistic. It's always about the grand epics with several political powers and several of the units lose all significance right after they are recruited. When the best character development is in the support conversations or the info conversations in Path of Radiance, I think there's a problem.

I think Eliwood has something in mind?
Other than this treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of all of the Lycian City States.
The Plot Demands it!
Oh shit, it?s?
And by Estate, he means castle.
Eagler is a paladin, a promoted version of the cavalier that can use axes. His stats are average for an enemy paladin, but he?s a capable opponent during Lyn?s story.
The third thing thieves are useful for.
I was in the conversation before, but I guess you didn?t notice me.
That?s it? You wasted 30 years for that?
Wallace with misha?s hair? Make it happen, Caramel Frappe.
Too bad that he?s useless in the long run.
Which you should almost never do (unless it?s for a healer who you haven?t used to much)
Wallace, so named because he?s an ace at walling.

You cannot win.

OT: I think this was also well planned out.

Anyhow nice LP, mind if I suggest you also try to add music? That's just me, but a music video somewhere would be all the more enlightening :}
