Yeah, she’s an NPC in the next TES but, who knows? She might not live to 88 so fans put her in Skyrim now.

I'm just trying to go through life without looking stupid.

It's not working out too well...

Today, in celebration of its final part being released, I'm gonna talk about an Awful Mod that I love.


Just Another Day is a long-running, satirical mod series for Freespace 2. It's got disco music. It's got impenetrable references to the FS2 modding community. It's got Derek Smart as a featured antagonist. And then it gets weird. And then it gets anime.

You see, I'd essentially divide the series between JADs1-3 and the later-developed JADs2.2.1-2.2.3. Yes this makes no sense, yes this is confusing. The former mods are a strange but comparatively traditional set of missions. You play as Alpha 1, the default callsign of the player character in almost every official and fan-made FS2 campaign, and must battle the machinations of FRED aka the game's editing program. In the latter series you play as three different anime teen archetypes (spoiled daddy's girl who's in love with the platonic ideal of Alpha 1, fame-obsessed hotshot ladykiller with a dark past, and completely bland, forgettable male character with brown hair) and must pilot experimental fighters to defend the galaxy against the devastating Beta Testers in a very obvious parody of Evangelion. Between campaign missions the mod features a fully functioning visual novel and it is a loooooooooooot.

Luckily, the writing is silly and even mostly funny, and the gameplay itself is a blast. JAD2.2 plays very differently from the base game in that many of its levels are boss fights, and your ships are nimble and borderline-OP. You're swatting down hordes of fighters with ridiculous firepower before hitting the berserk mode and doing the same to capitals. Despite its ridiculous nature, the things this mod does to the Freespace Open engine are nothing short of mindblowing. If you've got a copy of Freespace 2 and a tolerance for anime and disco, you owe it to yourself to give it a go. If you don't own a copy of Freespace 2 then I don't even consider you human.


Can we get a link to it, or am I not seeing it in the post?

Sorry. The easiest way to get FS2 mods, patches and mediaVPs up and running is to install the game and then just download Knossos. It's an all-in-one launcher that makes that stuff dead simple.

Wow your friends and family with the attention to detail that you've given to your Skyrim modding by showing off these little oxygenated highways that provide love, life and nourishment to the world.

Honestly I was a little relieved when I saw how... reserved the breasts were in the screen shots.

Also laughed that the screenshots are really just of one POV slightly pulling away.

Hey, weird dudes are at it again! Apparently Meridia's voice is "ear rape." Judging by the sound of the new one, it's because she isn't trying to sound like a fuckable waifu.

It's not enough for this guy in the comments though, bet he'd be happier if her lines were more submissive:

quote:

This is just shy of fixing a problem I was complaining about yesterday. The voice is a million times better but it doesn't help using the same commanding dialogue. I assume it's not possible for multiple reasons, the foremost being this is an upload, but slightly altered lines would be very fitting for a mod like this.

All the comments for the LE version waver between confusion and thinly veiled thanks for their boners, I hate it. What's with these guys and being weird about women's voices?

Just make all women voiced by a japanese girl and the nerds will think its very deep and cultural and wouldn't know if it was bad voice acting or not because they don't understand the language.

What they should do is rerecord all the daedra except keep the original voice styles, but replace the actual dialogue with valley girl speak.

Including the random ones you encounter in the world with the silly warbly vocoder effects.

I think the only issue I have with meridia as a voice is that I can recite the first few lines of dialogue from loving memory because they happen every drat playthrough, while I very rarely actually complete the quest because it's out of the way and I don't need the sword.

Yeah, just quickloot a random boss chest and boom, dialogue screaming at you at max volume out of nowhere.

It's probably the only Daedric weapon I reliably use though. A lot of the Daedric artifacts feel kinda lacklustre in my opinion.
