Can Sigur Rós’ Kveikur be the soundtrack to Dark Souls 2 please?
Y’all trip me up the way you talk about fictional characters like their real people with human rights and feelings and accomplishment like they ain’t just reflections of their creators.
Anna vs. rapunzel.
Guys, I know they look similar but Jesus the movie isn’t even out yet! Wait till you see it to judge it! Be proud of Pixar, in close ups of Anna’s face it looks like they have really improved the way they do skin and eyebrows.
GUYS
GUYS
I am getting so fucking mad that people don’t stop to appreciate the subtle differences between these two princesses!!! THEIR EYEBROWS ARE DIFFERENT GUYS, SHIT. Okay, I know Anna is like our nth of infinite White princesses, but goddamnit, LOOK HOW HER CHIN IS ROUNDED WHILE RAPUNZEL’S ISN’T!!!
Their necks are different widths and no one is taking note!!!
LOOK HOW FUCKING DIFFERENT THEY ARE, OKAY?
IF YOU WANT DIVERSITY, YOU TRY ANIMATING A MOVIE!!!
CHARACTER DESIGN IS HARD!
Come on guys! Their necks have a different circumference! How much more different do you want them to look? How do you fucking expect them to differentiate their character designs? Like, hello, the curve of their chin is at a totally different angle. How else can you make people look different, huh? HOW?
I’ve used 3D modeling software maybe twice before and I could make these adjustments in about fifteen minutes just turning some dials.
In building Sixten-Threesia, the ultimate floating city, the Sixth Seer invoked the limitless expanse of The Algebra Engine. The city prospered and stepped into the Firtenth Paradygm, but a Seventh Seer was born, and the balance has been broken!
When the Seers are Prime, the world is divisible.
The lowest common Demoninator will rise above the highest!
Metal Gear Solid 5 ~ New Details about “Quiet” A Strong Female Character That Never Speaks
“In the game, Quiet is the main heroine. Whether she is friend or foe has yet to be revealed so I had to be careful when casting her role. MSG normally has old timers and old guys (laughs). Stefanie is very skilled in action but since she never held that type of gun, we asked her do some training at home.”
“With Stefanie, we had to make sure to focus her 3D motion on capturing her facial and body language and not her voice, since Quiet does not speak. She does make small sounds like “ugh” and “ah” though.”
I’m sorry but what? How do you hear fans say “we want women to have a voice in gaming”, and reply by creating a female character who never speaks. Silencing women isn’t exactly progressive…
Could maybe be done well, but I am skeptical at this point…
If you want to see a strong female character with a voice in MGS then how about you look at
- meryl
- the boss
- naomi
- mei ling
- sniper wolf
- eva
- para-medic
- paz
but hey what do i know
Meryl gets objectified and identifying her by her jiggling ass is a key part of gameplay and seeing her without pants is an easter egg, Sniper Wolf gets used as a girlfriend in the refrigerator for Otacon, and then Neomi inexplicably repeats this tradition, complete with adopting Wolf’s fashion sense, Paz has another undergarment peeking easter egg which makes less sense plus she is a child, also the entire B&B squad is an insultingly unrealistic and one dimensional depiction of PTSD and are carbon copies of eachother and repeat the same outright uncomfortable crazy sexy lady sequence which also includes an exploitative photo taking easter egg.
I’m not saying strong female characters don’t exist in MGS, or that all these characters are not good despite these unfortunate weird things that happen to them, but you can’t just point to only the good examples as if it balances out the gross awful stuff, it doesn’t work like that. I don’t feel like the MGS series is 100% trustworthy with female characters, so hearing about this character gives me plenty of reason to at least worry.
Not to mention if it’s any indication of the maturity levels of the creators of this series, how much more worried I am with how responsibly and delicately they will be able to handle the issues of racism and other “taboos” they aim to tackle in this game.
Anamanaguchi on Fallon/Late Night
I finally had a chance to catch these guys live at the Echoplex in LA last week, and dudes tore it up. Seriously, it was unreal. See these guys live. I thought I liked Endless Fantasy just a bit, but then I lost my mind when they performed “Prom Night”.
Much thanks to Adam from Attract Mode/LA Game Space for hooking me up with last-minute tickets (and for a billion other things).
Oh, and video might take half a minute to load because Hulu.
BUY Endless Fantasy and other Anamanaguchi albums
I am so proud of them
