Co-Mod: It’s actually gotten quite a bit shorter since I started here. It now takes somewhere between two and three months. It’s a great time to get your asks in!
(Please don’t use that as an excuse to spam our inbox, though.)
Co-Mod: Good question. At this point, I actually sort of hope they don’t make one, since it practically exists already. I guess we’ll just cross that path when we get to it. (Get it?)
Dear Trearoos, guquis, and skibot99,
Co-Mod: Thanks for letting me know...again.
Co-Mod: Hey, at least you’re not obsessed enough to try running the blog yourself. Sometimes I wonder if I spend too much time talking and writing about Ace Attorney. It’s a beautiful series, but there’s still real life to think about every now and then.
I agree that that Godot/Jake parallel is shaky at best. For one thing, Jake’s a lot more friendly overall, and for another, he didn’t lose a lover like Godot did (unless there was something between him and Lana we don’t know about). One big comparison I can see is that they both lost someone close to them and made some irrational decisions as a result, but I sure wouldn’t have picked up on that comparison on my own.
And if I could rewrite one thing about Ace Attorney...I’d add in a beach ball after Mia’s murder.
Co-Mod: If you’re referring to the Frequently Asked Questions page, I’ve already encouraged them to add their answers, so hopefully we’ll be seeing them at some point. If it’s the Mod letters you’re referring to, I’ve been doing my best to get every new Mod’s responses in, but they all live in different places, so sometimes I have to push ahead without them. Not that I want to, of course, but just so you guys won’t have to wait any longer than you already do.
Mod Paups: If you are talking about the faq, I forgot about that...I'll try to get on it though!
Co-Mod: We are not having this conversation.
Mod Paups: no!! I love all the mods they are all cool ^w^ but thank you ;o
Co-Mod: Very sorry about that! One of the other Mods forgot to cut out the name and icon, so I replaced the picture but forgot to change the names in the letter. I’ll try to keep a closer watch on that.
Co-Mod: Yup. I can’t be the only one who wants to play Dai Gyauten Saiban and its sequel for himself.
Mod Maya: Only hopping on to say that I would sell my left leg for DGS, thanks,
Co-Mod: I first discovered the Ace Attorney series when I read Matthew Taranto’s miniseries Turnabout Kirby in his webcomic Brawl in the Family. This eventually made me curious enough to check out the games, so I watched some playthroughs of the first game and before long, I started falling in love with the characters, the game’s unique mechanics, and the series as a whole.
I don’t remember many details about how I found this blog (I remember that it started with a Google search), but I’m sure glad I did. I was thrilled to see that the Mod (the only moderator at the time) made an effort to respond to every letter that was sent to it, and even more thrilled when he finally answered one from me. It’s quite a treat to be able to talk to characters in a series like this one, even if it’s actually a fellow fan pretending to be them.
I started playing one fan case for a short while, but never made the time to finish it up. I’ll be sure to share my thoughts I have about any that I manage to make it all the way through when I get around to playing them.
Mod Kristoph: I was first introduced to Ace Attorney through the fan made video series Turnabout Storm, a crossover between Ace Attorney and My Little Pony. (Yeah, I’m a brony. Come at me.) I just gradually got interested in the series from there.
I’ve played several fan cases online. I’ve even come up with my own top 10 list of them. 10. Turnabout Trickery, 9. Turnabout Substitution, 8. Turnabout Imperfect, 7. Turnabout Tomorrow, 6. Curiosity of a Turnabout, 5. Turnabout Curtain, 4. Turnabout of Courage, 3. Two Sides of the Same Turnabout, 2. The Dragon’s Turnabout, 1. A Turnabout to El Dorado. Plus, the fangames Contempt of Court and Conflict of Interest are great too.
1. When I started college, Dual Destinies was just releasing. My new friends also happened to like video games, and both happened to be Ace Attorney fans, so they were really telling me to get into it. I tried the demo, absolutely adored Athena, and here I am today.
2. I have not! I do want to write my own one of these days.
Mod Paups: I discovered the series when I stumbled with a Damon Gant sprite!! It made me so curious because I loved (and still love) his design that I started playing the games.
As for fan made cases I haven't actually played any but I remember that when I was a bit younger I made one fan case! It was more of a story than anything else.
Dear Certainly Bobby Fulbright,
Co-Mod: I know this wasn’t addressed to me, but...
Mod Maya: Ty! I’ve not been keeping up lately but I’ll do my best~ I love anything nutella flavored! Though I’d die to try something sea salt flavored--Glaceon for sure, any fox-ish pokemon are all my favorite. (My best friend’s favorite is also Snorlax!)
Mod Paups: I know this isn't for me but I can't help but answer! I love loove chocolate, bubblegum and cookie flavors! As for pokes I have too many but my favorite types are in this order: Ghost, Dark, Bug, grass, water, psychic and fighting!
Mod Kristoph: Thanks for the welcome! I think I’ve been off to a slow start but I’m getting the hang of it. My favorite ice cream is definitely mint chocolate chip. Delicious! And my favorite pokemon type is probably ghost.
Mod Paups: I don't think he says he doesn't want one, but it's more that he doesn't plan to retire anytime soon.
Mod Kristoph: Heh. Thanks! I kinda took their scoring with a grain of salt since I’m new and I have no idea what their scoring system was. I think I’m getting the hang of things in any case.
