HEY, SOUL EATER FANDOM!

As some of you may have noticed, there is a distinct lack of Asura merchandise out there. No tee-shirts, no figurines, no bags, and he’s not even in the official card deck. That such a huge part of the Soul Eater world has been left out is a crying shame. Now, they may not have thought enough people would buy merchandise with his face on it, but let’s prove them wrong. Reblog this if you would buy Soul Eater merch with Kishin Asura’s face on it.

[anotherstorymustbegin-deactivat]

For people with social anxiety, EVERY message they send feels like a “risky message,” not just the ones with heavy emotional content. Every conversation feels like a chance to say something wrong and destroy a perfectly lovely friendship. Silence, while avoiding that problem, is also perilous because waiting too long before breaking the silence, increases the chance that the silence will be taken as a rejection. 

SOCIAL ANXIETY FUCKING SUCKS AND EVERYTHING IS MENACING TO ME.

To get it, someone with active messaging must write you.. As I already have it, I will message everyone who reblogs this.

Once you get the messaging, you help me and send a message to the person who also reblogs this message from you.

Life is Strange review, because why not?

My thoughts of Life is Strange in a nutshell (filled to the brim with spoilers):

So I finished the final episode of Life is Strange a few hours ago, and since I did a review of The Last of Us, I thought I might as well do one for Life is Strange, because it’s interesting to see what kind of hate/joy mail I get from it (even though I only got one thing from the Last of Us review.)

Story:

I like the story overall. It can be a bit difficult to make a time-travel anything without there being a nagging plot hole above the work of fiction, but this one seems to deal with it quite well, leaving only small annoyance that I can think of, which was in Episode 2 where the photo of Kate being harassed by David doesn’t stay in your inventory, even though you put it in your pocket. I realize that it’s purely for the choice mechanic, but I just had to bring that up. The twists and turns of both the internal story (the investigation of Rachel) and the external story (Max’s time traveling powers) both intertwine and have good development on both of their parts, and don’t feel like one hijacks or overshadows the other. The finales of both the stories feels satisfying and help bring closure to the cast of this strange adventure (like how I incorporated “strange” in there? No? Alright, moving on.)

Characters:

As my friends would tell you, I am a stickler when it comes to characters and how they develop in the story, and this game is no exception. Let’s start with our lead protagonist, Max(ine.) Sure, through the game you slightly make her your own character through the choices you make, but she she does have a base core of personality and some morality. She cares about the people around her, and at first is quite introverted and shy, but as the episodes progresses, she slowly starts to break out from that shell and starts to be a bit more social, thanks to her friend/partner-in-crime Chloe, and oh boy, do I have some things to say about Chloe.

So me and my friends who have also played the game have debated several times on my stance about Chole. To inform you (the viewer), I’m not a big fan of Chloe... at all. I can’t stand her punk attitude and how she’s selfish and will abandon/ignore mostly anyone that would get in her way, even if what they say is quite reasonable. During the first episode, I just rolled my eyes at her and carried on, it wasn’t until the car ride in episode 2 (the one after the Two Whales diner) that I really just couldn’t stand her. She blames her own mother for the death of her biological father, even when she [her mom] feels bad enough as it is, even after five years, and refuses to accept the fact that no one is too blame, and if there was, that she would completely dismiss the idea of her being the one to blame. I personally found that quite unforgivable. During Episode 4 though, I started to feel a bit more empathy towards Chloe, and kinda started to like her as a character.... and then she got shot, right in the head, which made me both shocked, and caused me to slightly laugh. Even after bringing her to life, I couldn’t feel any more emotion or sympathy for her, and had no problem sacrificing her for Arcadia Bay.

The characters who get the occasional spotlight (such as David and Warren) also get some nice development through some of the different episodes. Sometimes they’re a key part of a certain section, or you can even learn more about them by listening to some of the other people’s conversations, and don’t feel like they’re just forced into the scene because they haven’t been used in a bit.

Choices:

The main choices to me didn’t feel like they impacted too much. They did more than some of the TellTale games do, but less then the choices in Mass Effect. Depending on your choices, some people not be able to help you during a certain scene, or help you out in dire needs. But (from what I’ve seen from my other friends playthroughs) it’s nothing too game or story changing, except for the final choice. The only thing I can think of that could maybe improve it, is to add more of a branching story and add a bit more weight to choices, instead of how much you like Character A, or your stance on Personal Choice B.

Overall:

The game is good, if you like TellTale games, or are interested in the “Multiple choice story” games that seem to be getting quite popular now. The content is quite good for the price it asks, and I hope to see more of DONTNOD’s games in the future. But with the success and care they put into this game, we might see one within the next year or two.

Side note:

Now it’s time for the dreaded wait until I get a new TV so that I can play Until Dawn.
