I never knew about this, nor did It comfort me to just find out. I'm actually curious how Nintendo implemented that, in a safe-for- work and "child friendly" form.

Once more, I agree. Hopefully our descendants will respect the "art", when it's finished. Too many take for granted, the great things that men and women before them sacrificed, and take it at as face value. I'll stop rambling, though. My complaints are simply, just that; concerns that won't have an affect on things, in the long run.

I'm not exactly good at Mortal Kombat, just more or less decent. I've been a Jax fanboy since MK2; him being a grappler is just a really nice bonus to me. MK9 was great, but the online netcode was deplorable! I actually quit during a match in a King of the Hill lobby; I had awful sportsmanship, back then (After ending up second place, I even told a friend of the winner of a Street Fighter 4 tournament, to "tell him that he's a scrub". Bad times, back then. Bad times...) . Since Netherealm Studios failed once more with the netcode of Injustice: Gods Among Us, I'm just expecting the trend to stick, for MKX. The current roster looks nice, and variants were an amazing and unexpected gift; I don't feel too worried about mirror matches now. MK3's stamina meter, is a welcome addition too; zoning won't appear too one-sided to some people now, I assume.

I respect your opinion, as well the justifications you've used in your defense. (I don't plan on watching anything related to that spin-off, though. Too many heart-wrenching moments throughout all the games released. If I were part of ESRB, all Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games would be rated "T". Still fun to play, though; just beware, if you have even 0.01% of empathy. )

Thanks. You stating that, gives me the impression that you are one of those people, too. All in all, I don't care which side "wins". To me, Mankind is working together on a horrifyingly large jigsaw puzzle. We may not be even remotely close to finishing the picture, but we're damn well getting there.

Just Saying. *Clears throat* ...."I should go."

I disagree, but respect your opinion. My opinion is simply that; an opinion.

I personally believe in Heaven and Hell's existence. I also believe that My God is far too loving and caring, to send a potentially redeemable person to Hell. I believe in the teaching of giving your brother ( your siblings, simply put) and neighbor many chances. Would it seemed far fetched then, to think all who die while not believing in Christ's sacrifice, would be given another chance at believing, through another life on Earth? An atheist that tried every thing they could, to contribute to the world, but died an atheist, does not deserve eternal suffering in Hell, In my eyes. They might not get paradise, but they deserve another chance. "Did he just say that people can be birthed again, as the same person, infinitely?" If you thought the quote above, you're both correct and incorrect. I believe in this cycle of rebirth, but I don't believe that you'd be the "exact same person" at birth; that would be a paradox (and hella scary, to people who knew you, to witness!) My God's inestimable love for his creations is my justification of this theory; He even loved (and still loves) Lucifer! Moving on, if the passed soul didn't meet the stated belief criteria, they'd be given another chance through a different "existence" in the world. I don't know if their initial race, gender, and other traits, will be similar; I do strongly believe that their starting "identity" will always be different, though. This repeats, until the cycle is broken with the newfound belief. That "version" of the soul will then be allowed through the Golden Gates (no, not the fast food restaurant). This even applies to grievous sinners, in my opinion! I believe that there are parts in the Bible that are not a twisted revision of His word, but I also believe that everything in the Bible, together as a unit, is not 100% accurate of His word! There have been a crap ton of revisions. What if, at least one person who contributed to the "translation tree", tainted a part of it, harming all the branches that followed afterwards? What if, while Lucifer resides in Hell with demons, not a single one of the souls of God's "humans" were sent and won't be sent, ever? What if, ONLY LUCIFER WAS MEANT FOR HELL, AND ONLY HE UNDERSTANDS WHAT IS EXPERIENCED THERE? WHAT IF, LUCIFER IS STILL IN HELL, BECAUSE HE'S STILL CONVINCED THAT HE CAN USURP GOD WITH HIS DEMONIC ARMY? That pretty much sums up my cut of the jib. Sorry about it being a long read. Hopefully "IT" (my nemesis) doesn't have the stones to cut my post to a third of itself again.....

Thanks, Steffie! It's only been a few days, and this place feels like a third home for me! To say I'm enjoying my stay, would be a reasonable thought, but also an understatement!

I agree. I also almost choked on my cereal, while reading the bolded part of your post I didn't expect that metaphor. Friendly fire is frowned upon, Monotone! Especially, hits that somehow are affected by a high enough affinity metaphor to ignore the game's set rules, and reduce a Hunter Ally's health! Please at least, consider using a low affinity metaphor, if bringing it during an online hunt. With that out of the way, Good morning, Hunters! I have a question that might jolt some, possibly sluggish from sleep, minds: One of the top influential Capcom developers sends you a private email, that could change the future of the MH Series. Inside the email, they ask if you approve of this idea: The defeat limit and time restriction are more lenient. 9 or 10 defeats causes an instant quest failure, and slightly more than 1 hour and 40 minutes causes instant failure as well. However, game difficulty will be between either doubled, or tripled; damage received, hitboxes, monster movesets, blight/abnormal status influence, cooldowns, frame recovery, etc are included in this group. Would you approve or refuse this idea?

Thanks for ramming that old song in my head. To make things worse, no, I didn't even click to hear it from that video link. I already vividly knew how the song's tone, pitch and pace were, and it's playing in my head rapidly as I post this. I'm not mad about though, I just feel unenthusiasticly horrified about how I almost flawlessly recall that, about a song I haven't heard in over 6 years....

I woke up recently, and I'm ready for another day of MH4U! Am I the only one here that thinks that it's weird that Basrios, the "winged fortress", has not a single defensive skill given by its armor set? I thought I'd find another opportunity to get either Guard+ or GuardUp! Savage Deviljho (I never fought that train-wreck-causing monstrosity, thankfully), or a specific elder dragon? .................. Plesioth with a hip check that cause an instant cart with every hit that lands?

I'd prefer to fight unarmed, if it doesn't significantly increase my chances of being killed. If it does, I'll go with sharp or blunt objects, then. I have the naive idea that there is at least one blacksmith brony currently alive on Earth (they might even teach their child/children, and prolong the chain!). If I ever hear news about him/her (and if I can afford it), a shopping spree would be an understatement to describe what'll occur.

I'm assuming, because of that awesome Game of Thrones reference that you posted at the start of the thread, that you might have heard of Dungeons and Dragons or a similar tabletop role-playing game. With that in mind, this is my question. What is/are your thought(s) or opinions on paladins? We- never mind, they, often receive a bad rap from others. This can include labels, such as: sticks in the mud, dangerous zealots, armored boy scouts, or whatever else I forgot to mention. I just wanted to hear (read?) an unbiased opinion or viewpoint from the mouth (text?) of a friend.

I just saw an up-to-date, community-fueled tier list for the Xbox One Killer Instinct. Thunder was right at the bottom, as if his match-up potential seemed like common sense to everyone... During my first (and salty) months playing the game on ranked, I just kept that opinion as a running gag. That stung pretty bad; I didn't think it could actually be true!

Nice idea. I wanted to call him GrayAegis at first, actually, since day one of planning, but my clearly similar user name dissuaded me from following through! I should probably reconsider, eh?

I'll just give this post one final bump, before adding in Silver by the end of Saturday. I also have another question. Do you think it would be a better Idea to revise Silver Ward's name? I can come up with something else with a most thirty minutes; ten seconds would more than ideal, but it's extremely out of my range! Silver is a slightly commonly used forename, from what I've seen.

Thanks for the advice, but I already knew this. I pretty much attempt the leap, when I see the red flash vanish, less than seconds after appearing. Attempting, and failing horribly, at maining the GS gave me practice on the timing, at least (I loved the concept of the weapon, and still do, but when I couldn't rouse Ceadeus into destroying the cave blockage, I knew it just wasn't meant for me). All in all, I blame my big-ass fingers for the occasional lance leap mistake. Edit:I added in your friend code, FortyTwo42. I'm looking forward to hunting, and working together with ya! Edit 2: What are your preferences, toward bringing palico allies, or not? Are there any weapon types that you'd feel uncomfortable to see, if a hunter ally were to show up with it equipped? Do you prefer allies to bring status ailment weapons, or are you cool with whatever? Also, what's the agreed upon rule for monster mounting? Sorry, if I sound like a game show quiz host. I'm just trying to get an idea of the norm and etiquette of online mode, to prevent botching my first online hunt. I'm just taking down offline quests, at the moment, to better prepare myself for online.

Snow Villiers was a badass, and a cool member of the Final Fantasy XIII main cast. It sucks that he (and everyone else, except Lightning, cough, cough!) wasn't playable during the end of the trilogy. His role and actions in Lighting Returns actually increased my already high respect for the dude. @ Villiers haters: Come at me! It'l just end up with me unscathed from your petty rage! *Steelguards* Edit: ("The heroes always win!")

Well, after texting, and spending time with my folks, I had to get this off my chest (it ain't hair. I actually could use a reasonable amount of that). This'll be a long one, so please bear with me. From just a single event two days ago that led to me becoming a member here, My entire life, personality and viewpoint all dramatically changed since Today's (probably gonna be yesterday's by the time I finish this) morning. I take weekly therapy sessions on campus, and I was supposed to meet my new therapist (the former one received a great job position that she chose to accept. It required her to move far from the university, sadly. Gonna miss her.) the afternoon of that day; my lightest college day with only one course to attend. I'm an unbiased client, so I certainly don't care about the age, race, gender or etc of my therapist. He and I discussed issues that were bothering me, during the session. His feedback and advice on one issue of mine, however, is the main culprit of this snowball effect. When he heard about my fear of rejection and hostility, he gave his viewpoint and opinion about it; He also handed me a printout of an informational article that I'll probably hold onto for a lot of years, if not the rest of my life. The subject of the article was risk-taking; basically showing what could happen if you try, and what you might have missed out on if you don't take the plunge (thankfully, not related to unclogging a toilet) . It gave statistics about the absurd amount of failures that certain examples of famous people in history encountered. However, it also included their clearly overwhelming amount of successes afterwards. After viewing the article, the latter was clearly worth reaching for, despite having to deal with the former, in my opinion. I thanked my therapist at the end of the session, and headed back to my apartment (not before, I bought myself a cheese pizza to-go, though. Delicious stuff, right there!) ,already feeling great. I thought about what I heard during the recent session, and it sparked enough inspiration to attempt what I wanted to do as far back as my introduction to online gaming, (To those curious, the MMORPG was MapleStory. I avoid it like the plague nowadays, due to my bias toward Nexon, but I don't judge the games playerbase and fans; It was a blast, playing it with my twin brother.), joining an online community (*Insert cliche', dramatic music sequence, here, before cutting into commercial break*). I thought to myself, "I'd love to be part of an online community, but I want to be part of just one, so I can prioritize and keep my amount of interactions simplified and manageable." This led to reasonably timed research (thankfully not accompanied with a montage and music); It pretty much was just comparing and weighing my interests. After around thirty minutes, (basically of messing around with an imaginary battle royale involving my interests as personified combatants), only two were left, and only one would make the cut (Sounds like a realty show competition. I always felt bad that the runner-up left with only his/her time wasted. Screw that "worthwhile experience" junk!) I had to decide between choosing the community of my currently favorite MMORPG (Dungeon Fighter Online) or the brony fanbase (I'm proud to say that my existence here makes me a living spoiler; nice). I choose joining an online brony community for two reasons. I felt guilty about being a closet brony at the time, and the fact that the recent reboot of the My Little Pony cartoon titled, Friendship is Magic, got me hooked (I'd love to experience that Netflix marathon, last summer, one more time); It also made me feel that T.V is still relevant to me, and often left a lasting impact on me with nearly every episode. Nothing on television did that to me in (too many) years. Then came standard procedure: I made an account name,(cautiously double)checked the forum rules and regulations, and headed into it face-first (Just like the situation involving part of the stairwell in the atrium building on campus, today. Zing!). Then came my introductory thread, followed by a lot of you politely and respectfully welcoming me, to even a few of you adding me to your Friend List; a seemingly blank-slate (me, by the way. Also,that sounded kinda close to blank flank) appeared worthwhile to some of you to befriend. I could have been a troll, a typical hater (Ugh, arseholes...), a user that would make one post and never return after forgetting about the site, or whatever negative person the imagination could come up with. Some of you still chose to befriend me, despite those possibilities; forgive my sudden change in language, but that fuckin' speaks volumes. When I woke up this morning, I realized something frighteningly different about me. The empty void, constantly reminding me that I'm missing something in my life, shrunk in size, (NOT a Dr. Seuss reference! Mention this, and I will glare at you as if you told me my jeans were unzipped. Even if they ACTUALLY WERE unzipped...), if not filled itself completely (If so, good friggin' riddance! I hated that douche!). So many things happened to me at once. I realized that I'm not an introvert, but actually an (annoyingly enthusiastic) extrovert; I was very extroverted during my childhood, but all of that changed when I suffered unjust and cruel treatment throughout my public school years (honestly, I would have preferred the Fire Nation invading instead). I also accepted myself for who I am, and I've been trying to do that for a VERY damn long time. Lastly, and the most significant, ( "It looks like he's gonna end it with a dropkick, leaping off the turnbuckle, JR!") effect, was that I realized that I was more happy than I've been In years! This pretty much sums it up. I just wanted to say that ALL of you made this impact in my life, regardless of whether or not you just found out about me through this blog post ; Even if you made one constructive post as a member, you contributed to the existence of this forum, thus indirectly being responsible for that impact toward me. It'll take me a very long while, if not years, to return the favor somehow. If I were to meet any of you in person, and you were to ask me to be your friend, I'd accept the offer without hesitation. I'd also fight tooth and nail (incisor and blunt end of hoof?) against any person causing you trouble (Who cares about that punk's six-pack? You'd be surprised at what a normal untrained civilian can be capable of, using mostly their elbows and knees!). Thanks for reading (Or skimming over. "Yeah, I've got my eye on you, pardner...") this blog post. It just means a lot to me how you all have helped me. Thanks, again.
