How much Mass Effect is too much Mass Effect?

Hey all, Aggroe here!

I've been swamped this week! Just been working a lot so I'm exhausted, I also adopted a cat who's pretty whiny and hates not being pet at all times, so she's been keeping me up ALL NIGHT! So sorry I didn't post yesterday or the day before, but I'm good to go now and I have a three day weekend so tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday I will for sure post something :)

I'll start off with the 30-day challenge, so without any further ado...

Here's day 3: a game that's underrated!

I have a hard time with this one too. There are so many good games out there that aren't necessarily popular, but are still fantastic! I would probably have to pick Katamari Damacy though. It's pretty wild, wacky, colorful, and absolutely ridiculous but satisfyingly so!

If you still aren't convinced, go ahead and check out this video, of the intro. Go ahead, I'll wait.

...

Welcome back! So story wise, the King of All Cosmos (the man featured in the video with too-tight tights) knocks all the stars and planets out of the sky, and YOU, his son (the Prince of All Cosmos), must fix his mistake!

By rolling things up on Earth, you create planets and stars to replace the old ones. I really love the literal translation of the title, because in English the literal meaning of "Katamari Damacy (Damashii if properly written) is "Round Soul Clump".

If you haven't played this game, I recommend checking it out for sure! It sounds dumb but it's actually fairly challenging in later levels and a lot of fun!

Aaand now day 4: my guilty pleasure game!

For this category, it's not that tough to pick. The game is: Monster Girl Quest!

I actually love this game so much that I named my snake after the main lamia; Alipheese Fateburn the 16th. (We call her Alice for short though, just like the game). I don't actually want to give much away, but what I can tell you is it's kind of funny how I stumbled upon this game.

Initially, it was curiosity and slight disgust. "How in the hell can people have a fetish for this, isn't it just a step above furries?" It turned into mild enjoyment. "Huh, the way this game works is actually really nice, a cool twist on rpgs with higher stakes, has fantastic dialogue and a hilariously dumb main character, and it's actually, dare I say it, kinda sexy in a weird way that makes me slightly uncomfortable". Once I hit the end of the second game though, and the FULL story was revealed, I fell in love with the characters and noticed as the trilogy went on all the character development. And ultimately, you won't believe me unless you play it yourself, but the game has a deep storyline and is all about how if we try and understand each other, no matter what our differences are, we can learn to get along and treat each other with respect.

That image is fairly late game, I think it's between mid 2nd game and mid 3rd game, but could be later.

Welp I'll finish defending nsfw games now I guess :p though I will never stop loving MGQ!

And now, day 5: game character I feel I'm most like

I would have to say that this is a tough choice, just because even though I can relate to characters there aren't a lot that I feel I'm like.

But if I had to pick, I would say that I'm kind of like Fox McCloud (in Starfox Adventures, specifically) without the badass-ness.

He's sassy, sarcastic, and would rather blow shit up (because it's faster and more epic) than sneak in the smart way. He's not the brightest bulb in the box, but he always has a snappy comeback. Also he doesn't put up with people's shit, if someone irritates him it's obvious.

SO the rest of my post (since it's already long) will just be gifs that I find funny that are from Mass Effect. I discovered these first few the other night when I was looking for a good picture of Garrus. Just observe and enjoy~

So there's those things to enjoy. I laughed harder than I should at all of these!

And finally, this video is fantastic~ I'm still on a Mass Effect kick and recently beat the 3rd one, am getting into Andromeda. This DLC is probably my favorite of all of the DLC I've played so far, especially the dialogue inside the vault!

Anyways, I hope you all have a splendid night and sweet dreams~ Eventually I'll post shit other than Mass Effect. Look forward to it, readers~

Are Coloring Books Nerdy? Are Aliens Taking Over the Blog??

Hey all, Aggroe here!

Today I want to talk about something that I've begun to really enjoy in the last year or so. As some of you may know, I like to draw a LOT. However it's so time consuming and I'm not always in the right state of mind for it, so instead I will usually color. Now I wouldn't bring this up if it didn't relate to the blog in some way, so here's a few pictures of one of my newest coloring book!

I've started coloring in this book and it's just amazing! There are multiple different art styles and it's a lot of fun to have all the iconic scenes in your own version. One of my favorite things about the Alien series is the aesthetic, and getting to add to that in whatever way I see fit is a lot of fun. Plus I love the terror this series evokes, even nowadays it's still creepy!

So fun story time, as a kid I initially thought SciFi was boring and pointless, but when I was introduced to the X-Files and that was the SHIT! I love that show to death even now that I'm older! X-Files cultivated my love of SciFi and built up a curiosity deep within me; a drive to learn more about the world and about the universe.

The first time I watched the Alien series, I think I was too young; kept falling asleep. I didn't understand what was going on, and didn't really care. But recently I rewatched them with family and holy shit was I missing out!

So now, a bit of a tone change. I'm moving on to the 30 day challenge, and day 2 is: my favorite video game character!

Which is an incredibly hard choice. Do I go with Makoto Naegi, Enoshima Junko, Monokuma, or Fujisaki Chihiro from DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc? Or maybe a classic, like Link, Mario, or Sonic? Maybe someone from a game I've played more times than I can count, someone like Celia from Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life?

I think though, ultimately, when considering this question I have to think of what character I can relate to, what character I understand, a character who's funny and quirky and maybe a little bit awkward. Not the main character, but a character who was there for the protagonist every step of the way, no matter what. A truly loyal friend, and a brave soul. Someone who isn't afraid to speak the truth but also genuinely cares about others.

Maybe I'm biased; after all I just put about 50 hours into this series, for the third time, and beat the whole series in just a few days.

But at this time I would have to pick Garrus, from the Mass Effect Trilogy.

I like the storyline of him with both male and female Shepard. Either way they have a truly strong friendship, no matter what happens. He's loyal, brave, strong, and some of his commentary is just hilarious! Though Mordin, Joker, Dr. Chakwas, and Liara are all tied for second place. Really I just love the whole crew, especially the early ones who start and end with Shepard.

The story of the three games was executed well I thought, and I like how often the game made fun of itself, for example one of the last scenes in the Citadel DLC during Mass Effect 3 when Shepard and co are stuck in the vaults. I won't spoil anything but it's comic gold!

That's about all I have for you guys tonight, I'm pretty exhausted and have work in the morning, but I hope you all sleep well and have sweet dreams~!

Great comics and first games!

Hey all, Aggroe here! I know it's been a looong while, and I'm sorry for that! I have been doing some soul-searching and putting my life together. I'm still young though, so I've got plenty of time to learn and grow from here.

I haven't been fully honest with all our fans honestly, there's something I've known for a while but haven't come clean about... but you'll have to wait for the video for that news! Something to look forward to. I just have to edit it so it shouldn't be much longer now. :p

So for some excitement, I want to go ahead and start something I haven't done before! I want to go ahead and review a comic series I've been loving~

First of all... the title makes it sound way worse than it is. Just bear that in mind. And it's TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY NSFW and 18+!!

Just something to keep in mind.

Basically it's a story about this couple and some other people who have powers that activate whenever they orgasm; for instance, one of these 'superheroes' stops time for everyone around him. There's also some quality lines in here, for instance...

My next tattoo!

Fun fact, this issue is actually the first one that I purchased and read. I still don't have the first 11 so I'm a little bit lost, but does that really matter with quality content like this?

In all seriousness it's actually got a good story where the characters sort of find themselves and try to build happy, healthy relationships while they navigate the world and try to learn about their own special abilities. It's a weird sort of parallel to real life, where we're all trying to discover ourselves and do the best we can with what we have.

Ultimately they're working together to figure things out. I won't give away more, if you're interested though I recommend doing a search because it's really a lot of fun to read! They're pretty pro-LGBT too from what I've seen, but I haven't read it all yet so no guarantees.

On a more appropriate note, but still serious, I watched the Hunchback of Notre Dame last night for the first time and DAMN is it underappreciated! Some of the scenes and clips were amazing and still relevant today, but was also so damn dark.

This song, for example, is relevant even in the modern day!

My roommates pointed out that one great reason is that the main character actually doesn't get the girl, but she and her significant other actually end up not treating Quasimoto as a third wheel or as an outcast, but as a great friend; they've all got each other's backs.

I think we can all learn a thing or two from that!

And now, I'm going to end on a fun note! I'm going to do a 30-day video game challenge!

SO day 1 is my very first video game! Honestly I don't remember the very first, but I think it was actually Paper Mario on the N64.

This game was my childhood! I love it so damn much, even to this day! I've played The Thousand Year Door on GameCube as well as the Paper Mario on the Wii (which I wasn't as impressed with but was still fun~)

I would play this game over and over, and never get tired of it. I was a bad gamer then though, so I did struggle with it at first. Paper Mario will always have a special place in my heart!

Actually thinking of doing a full playthrough of the Paper Mario series soon and if I do, you'll be the first to know about it. Well, besides me of course~ I don't have all the systems for it right now though so I have to get at least an N64 to start.

And with that, thank you all for reading this and sticking with me until the end! Look forward to another post tomorrow, and I hope you all sleep well and have sweet dreams~!
