taotrooper: It's a polar bear dancing the hula; your argument is invalid (Katamari / ask me how I roll)

You know that I could use somebody

Okay, this is just too good. King Bumi vs. Toph Earthbending fighto! Man, I love the Nick Magazine comics for Avatar, they're so adorable.

And afterwards, I was reading the previous comics online. And I was reminded to ask myself, again, why the hell I like the Earth King. One of the worst monarchs ever in my fandoms. I'm guessing it's just out of "moe" factor. Yeah... with so many <16-year-old characters, and I find a grown man moe.

I now want to write a crossover with the Earth King and Peony IX arguing over whose pet(s) are the cutest, Bosco or the bunch of rappigs. Oh, bother. Well, Peony could teach him a bit about how to rule a country and still be a groovy dork, since they're at it.

Ah, and some old games finished downloaded here, so I tried them out for about an hour each:

Katamari Damacy: I own and love We Love Katamari, but I was never able to try the first game since. Well. I'm in Europe and it was never brought and stuff. So far it's pretty easy although it might be in comparison since I'm already experienced. The sequel is also more appealing when it comes to several things, although flying through space gives a better illusion of LOL ALIENS COSMOS ROYALTY.

The Royal Rainbow is gross. ILU King, but srsly. WTF. Even for Katamari standards.

(...Oh, right. The Earth King is still a better ruler than King of Cosmos. I guess if a king is flashy or headache-inducing enough, I can deal and like him...? ANYWAY.)

Psychonauts: I have no idea because it kept freezing during the intro. So much for trying this one. Also, I spent like one minute trying to find the way to start the game for the first time. I... guess it's original enough, yes.

Maaaan, I wanted to try this shit so hard. *crais moar*

Tales of Legendia: I figured it'd play as smooth as Abyss since they're from the same year and all. First of all, I went and threw my conceptions out the window, or otherwise I'd have a hard time adjusting to a Tales game that isn't from Team Symphonia and with artwork that isn't Fujishima's. I got used to the character design, yeah, but I was still a bit "...shit is weird" at the whole layout and visuals (I liked that they talk sometimes all anime-skit-like, but it was still O_o).

But man, the fights! It's like playing Phantasia again, and I hated TOP's gameplay. I definitely prefer TOS/TOTA's illusion of 3D. What's up with cooking on ovens, BTW? And mind you, I could stand the doomed gameplay if the plot and characters were interesting (I mean, I haven't dropped P4), but so far Senel is a total Allen-Walker-cosplayer bore and I barely know his sister to give a damn. I do give Will the benefit of the doubt because the guy's got a dragon skeleton/fossil hanging from his ceiling and that's nerdly hardcore. So I'll keep up a bit more for [livejournal.com profile] telrunya; it might get better when the cast grows larger.

Zuko: "You both needs to start acting your age."

It was like the cherry on top of a cake of awesome. XD

He should've said 'you three' to include Sokka, though. He was the great enabler in that whole madness.

MAYBE IT WILL GROW ON YOU. I don't feel like I can really defend Legendia because lots of people dislike the game and I can see their points most of the time, but there are awesome characters I love and I didn't care about Senel at first, so. Wait until you get Moses and Jay in your party, BUT I WON'T INSIST IF YOU STILL DISLIKE IT BY THEN. Also I love the music, sob. And Norma is awesome too.

You didn't? I totally did know I wanted to. Ever since Toph metalbended, perhaps. I should've expected people would interrumpt it because the awesome was so high they were wrecking havoc without noticing/caring, though X'D

And I thought about you the whole time because of Bumi.
