If you have a problem with this you should have had it near the beginning or when they got to the hilariously dumb end of episode 3/first half of part 4.

You have the power to rewind time and retain your memories, you're basically god. Nothing matters, what happens only happens because you let it.

That's the bit with Car Accident!Chloe, right? Because I didn't think that was this bad, since Max reasonably needs to take a little time to figure out what's what in that timeline before deciding that poo poo's too hosed to deal with and that she does want to abandon that timeline.This is different because Max just actively went "nah, gently caress this poo poo, I'm rewinding" but is still wasting time saving people who we can only assume will get rewound with her while a tornado is bearing down on her only escape.

Just watched the latest LiS. Wow, David is really loving bad at his job and I can't tell how much of that's supposed to be intentional. His attempt to kick the table was actively hilarious.

Also, I don't really get why Max feels like she needs to save anyone when she's already decided that she's running this timeline back. Feels like padding.

A lot of the game feels like padding when you have these multiple drawn out timelines that end up being undone, since (surprise!) loving with time is kind of hazardous. I guess it kind of has to play out that way in a game all about time powers, but I've found myself wondering "what was the point of that?" multiple times in the LP.

And yes the thing with David was weirdly specific but also great when Matt and Liam got all hyped up for the fight, then David just gets shot dead point blank.

Imagine how dumb you'd feel if you missed the chance to save a bunch of people with minor rewinds because you thought you were going to do one big rewind, only to find out that whoops, Warren lost the photo.

It was, but I also like how the guy whose sole character trait is "IMMA WAR VET:911:" has no loving idea how to clear a room and gets blindsided and knocked the gently caress out by a creepy photographer. Again, I honestly can't tell how much of that is intentional.

You have to be really hosed up to not get a police job after your time in the military. Police loves hiring former military guys, basically put them on the highest priority for new hires.

If you can't tell by now a lot of the last episode is marred by not having any idea of where to go. They resolve the Jefferson poo poo so quickly that you're left wondering "Okay what now?" and then the game throws this cavalcade of horseshit at you with the Tornado still happening and Chloe madness. It drags on forever and is one of the most unsatisfying conclusions to a time travel story I've seen in a while. It also has a really lovely sequence coming up that has no purpose other than to constantly throw the point of the series at your face constantly.

He was a veteran of the console wars.

Realistically, I bet he's one of those veterans who didn't do poo poo in terms of actual combat, but plays up his service a ton.

Wait.

Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax is a fighting game with poo poo like Sword Art Online characters and the fuckin' girl from the I Can't Believe My Little Sister Is This Cute show as playable characters in it?

What.

edit: oh, Dengeki Bunko is a light novel publisher, so this is like their version of a Shonen Jump mashup game, makes a lot more sense.

Don't get it twisted who your enemies are.
Sword Art is kinda neat then almost immediately disappointing for several episodes then a little sweet/heartwarming then bad, then really bad, then gently caress, then season 2 happens and it's kind of junk until Kirito disappears at which point it's legitimately really strong somehow. But that's only the last 4-6 episodes or whatever.

Are you sure it wasn't just the Stockholm syndrome kicking in during the last episodes?

No, I'm not like Pat and Liam. I have zero affinity for MMOs or the "trapped in an MMO" story trope, I only watched it out of mild curiosity when season 1 was airing on toonami and kept going to see how many train cars they could pile on top of each other. The last arc of SAO2 is actually shockingly well done, which I kept hearing from people who knew the source material. I didn't believe them until it actually got in motion and I was astounded at how much better it was than every other part of the story before it.

Isn't Sword Art Online that one that has the line "two years' worth of semen made a glopping noise" or something in one chapter? If so, please don't recommend it to people as anything other than a comedy, thanks.

I googled the line I just posted because I was wondering if whoever told me that was bullshitting and nope that line and many like it are totally in an officially written section of sword art online. And to think I wonder why anime sometimes is given a bad name.

Shaped like a friend

Warrens suicide murder line made me laugh my rear end off, but drat Liam is just messing with his own memories super hard at this point.
Warren is apparently
-A murderer
-A pimp
-A drughead
-Anti-Hot Dog Man

Getting into ending talk:
I knew they were going to become mass murderers due to the podcast but it's just now sinking in that they're going to do it just because of Warren. and Liam's huge hateboner.

Which I still find it comical people think they deserve a happy ending after making the wrong choice. I mean it's not like nature is going to give up, and you literally just killed Chloe's entire family and everyone else in the bay who ACTUALLY did nothing wrong.

Well wait, lets work this out.


Warren Pros

- Throws himself in harms way to let Chloe and Max get away at the beginning.
- Beats the poo poo out of Nathan Prescott.

Warren Cons

- Is clingy
- has a locker full of creepy pictures and a doll in someone's madeup dreamscape version of him.


Liam Pros

- Plays a mean game of Metroid Fusion.

Liam Cons

- Argues for more scantily clad 13 year olds in Bravely Default.
- Thinks Ultra Despair Girls is ok.


Hrrrrrrm, I don't know. Looks like Warren still has Liam beat in the 'decent person' list.
