Hi Spirit Armor, this thread became the reason I spent money to sign up on this forum. Your LP is one the best one I have ever read and been reading it about an chapter an day for the past week. I have one question though, after your done with the first game are you going to continue with the next game in this thread or make an new thread for it?

Still... you're amazing, Kohran! _{Y'know, if you ignore the sheer bloody horror of what you've done.} There aren't even any stitches on me!

[Kohran]

O' course there ain't any stitches. Ah didn't actually cut you in half.

[Ogami]

[Kohran]

Ah didn't actually cut ya in half! Ah jes' made ya think that Ah did. _{Wonderful things, hallucinogens.}

Really?

[Kohran]

... what, didja think Ah could actually slice you in half an' paste both halves of ya onto robot parts in th' five minutes that Ah had t' work with?

[Ogami]

Well, now that you mention it...

It woulda taken me 'bout fifteen minutes.

[Kohran]

One of them? Both of 'em? Neither of them? Th' world may never know.

[Ogami]

[Kohran]

Ahahaha, don't sweat the small stuff~. Y'all got what ya needed t' get done, didn't you?

[Ogami]

I... I GUESS I did? I mean, sure, it was at the cost of my steadily-slipping grip on reality, but...

[Kohran]

Then all's well that ends well! _{By the way, it's time fer a meetin' that'll decide th' fate of th' world as we know it.}

[Ogami]

Wait, wh-

so he was....cloned while high on spirit energy?

Spirit Armor posted:

Okay, so to recap:

1) Sakura is waxing philosophical about her sword.
2) Maria is polishing her gun. And talking to it. ~~This is a perfectly healthy thing to do.~~
3) Kohran is improving the technology that allows the Flower Division to wreak as much havoc as it does.
4) Kanna is... uh, actually training.
5) Sumire is buying things.
6) Iris is being taught everything she knows from the worst possible role model in the Flower Division.
7) Ogami is posing.

... so if we break it down like that, only TWO of them are actually doing something that'll make the Flower Division appreciably stronger. Everyone else is dicking around.

To whit, ~~that was probably the worst training montage ever~~ things do not look good for 1) our heroes, 2) their opponents, 3) every civilian in a 5,000 mile radius, and 4) all of the above.

_{NEXT TIME: The fruits of our labor- ... gently caress, I can't say it with a straight face.}

This will be entertaining. Thanks for the updates SA.

[Ogami]

Seriously? 'Cause it's too early for April Fool's.

[Yuri]

[Ogami]

Are you sure? I mean, it's not that I don't trust you, but it's kinda hard to swallow the possibility that she's actually done something USEFUL for once.

[Yuri]

Look, she was running around the entire city trying to help us! I--

[Ogami]

Running!? Sumire-kun was RUNNING!? Holy BALLS, woman, back up!

[Yuri]

... I'm not getting paid enough to deal with this.

[Ogami]

... please don't remind me that you're actually getting some form of monetary compensation for your work. _Lucky.

So what does Ogami earn by being a leader of a top secret robot unit/theater group? Besides the lost of this mental and soulful being?

Wait, you were really worried about Iris?

[Ogami]

Aah, THERE'S the callously sociopathic Ayame-san that I know and ~~love~~ have awkwardly semi-romantic feelings for!

[Ogami]

... seriously, could you tell me the exact mixture? It'd make my life a lot easier if I could put some of my squad members to sleep at will. AND I need a sleeping aid.

No dice, Ogami-kun.

My local Gamestop had a copy of a Sakura Wars game in a big box the other day - I think the one that's supposed to be in America? I almost bought it before I realized that it's Spirit Armor that makes this awesome, not so much the actual writing.

Please come back, SA! I want to know how it ends!

One of my friends got the Wii version of it for me for Christmas and it's been very enjoyable so go for it. Also should we start a that summoning thing again and hope that it will bring out SA to at least show he's still around?

Spirit Armor posted:

I ~~got shafted by Bandai-Namco~~ WAS INTO IDOLM@STER BEFORE IT WAS COOL, so the 360 version. Which lacks a difficulty-changing option.

... I have not actually achieved a Good End yet, and I probably won't be able to if I start a save file from scratch (since the game is stupidly difficult in the first playthrough), so it might be a giant train wreck from beginning to end. So I'm thinking about swapping back to Idolm@ster 1 for 1) ease, or 2) if everyone ends up voting to produce one of the idols that you CAN'T produce in 2.

That sucks, the ones that you can't produce in the 360 one are in the PS3 version and you get all the DLC for the 360 one for added in for the PS3 version.

Question: What is idolm@ster? I know i can look it up but i want the goon-opinion.

Basically you play as a music/pop producer and you produce a pop star with some minigames and VN style conversations like in this game that rise their stats. There was anime of it that just finished yesterday so if you want to check it out watch that since it's mainly based off the 2nd game storyline.

I remember there was supposed to be a mech anime involving Idolm@ster characters, involving mechs punching pieces of the exploded moon when they became meteoric, and, as far as I could understand from the talk on the imageboard that shall not be named, the main heroine has a thing for her mech, or at least has to show it affection to get it to work.

Yeah. I have no idea.

It's best to pretend that never exist since it had some characters in name only and really messed up the characters. Just treat it as the supposed tsukihime anime and watch the real one that aired this year.
