Psh, you're no good at twist endings. It turned out that Scott Pilgrim was really just a paranoid schizophrenic, and each of Ramona's ex-boyfriends were actually Scott Pilgrim's other personas. She knew this, of course, but found it to be very spicy for their marriage. YEP! They had been married since his third incarnation. Every time he takes on a new personality, he wanders away and cooks up a new life. That's why he never has his own money and had to leech off his roomie. It also explains why he dreamt of a girl he'd never remembered seeing.
Also, the people he actually did end up fighting were all actors hired by Ramona by recommendation of Scott's doctor. At any point if his illusion is dashed, he would go into an immense depression/anxiety phase that would last for months and sometimes led to near suicide.
Yep, you're right; that was much more M. Night.
I'd make a really shitty Shyamalan.. which means.. I'd make a great [strike]M Night[/strike] director?.. wait, I'm confused.
On one hand, Bayonetta has always struck me as really, really dumb and the fucked up proportions always rubbed me the wrong way and $500 is way, way too much to pay for a video game figure.
On the other hand...it's like, yeah, I see why it's worth $500. I mean, I wouldn't drop 500 of my dollars on it unless I became stupid rich, but that's what I'd price it at if I made that thing because that's what it looks like it's worth, not just because a certain portion of the fan base is dumb enough to pay it.
Well there's a tournament coming up that I'll be playing in. First prize in that game is about $9000. So we'll see.
As for my second place finish, that was a $4.40 buy in and I won ~$140
10th place finish on a 1.10 game for like 2.20
and a 4th place finish on a 1.75 game for another 2.70
I placed 75th in another game. Dude had a better full house than me.
And in another game I got knocked out at 60th after pushing on some guy whom I knew had nothing (I had Ace of spades, ace of hearts). Of course, he's an idiot. So he calls. Dude had 3-8 off suit. Flop is fucking 8 8 3.
I would not buy that figure because I think dolls are for children.
On the subject of Poker, I'm headed to a barn out in the countryside for a friend's stag do this weekend - I'm not sure what there is out there but I'm bringing cards and chips in order to hopefully make the weekend profitable. :winky:
Yeah, I'm willing to cut her height some slack in regards to wearing high heels and figuring they were going for the 8-heads fashion drawing model, but that still leaves like two extra heads that just simply shouldn't be there.
I might be willing to give it a pass if everything else in the game has really whacked out proportions so it establishes a consistency of style with everything; but I'll never know if that's the case, since all the marketing I've seen for it has basically been, "HEY CHECK OUT OUR DOMINATRIX WITCH LIBRARIAN!" and hasn't put much emphasis on things in the game that aren't dominatrix witch librarians. As a result I always have to view those proportions out of context and therefore am forced to rely on my default human instincts, thus making me go, "whoa, that sure as hell ain't right."
Um. Yeah. Bayonetta's clothes can magically spin/fly off her and turn into a hair demon, so I'm pretty sure it's well established that the game is fucking ridiculous. In everything.
I realized how out of place my sense of humor was when I asked the lady at the bakery how many Bavarians they put in to a Bavarian filled donut, and she didn't get it.

Granted, that's only scratching the surface of fucking ridiculous.
The entire reason nobody who hasn't played the game knows nothing other than something about a dominatrix witch librarian is because if you'd tried to explain the game to someone using any media, you'd look like an idiotic 14 year old having a fantasy. This game descends to lovecraftian levels of fucking ridiculous. Like, play the game once, and you'll truly understand what fucking ridiculous is, and you'll lose a part of your sanity in exchange.
But, that being said, its actually a pretty fun game.
Yeah, I'm betting a lot of artists can't play Bayonetta. I certainly can't look at her without getting ill. It sucks, because she looks like she's supposed to be little more than a fucked up sexual fantasy. I read a lot of hentai manga, and I always gloss over the really weird stuff like severely oversized breasts, but nothing in those books compares to this woman.

Bayonetta is essentially a female Dante, who is a ridiculous beefcake dude.
Her design is a bit weird, yeah, but the game in general has excellent art direction. I mean, holy shit, it's totally nuts as far as enemy designs go in a good way. Also, while still really tall compared to other characters, she's not super duper freaky tall, relatively speaking. Her proportions make her look like that, yeah, but it's not that big a deal when you're actually playing the game and suplexing the face off an angel the size of an aircraft carrier.
But what if you didn't like Dante's Inferno because it was a very pretty, but very hyperbolic bore?
No no no. No. Wrong Dante.
I meant Dante from Devil May Cry, which was made by the same people as Bayonetta, and Bayonetta was explicitly stated by the creators to be kind of a female Dante.
Seriously, though, the enemies especially are fucking rad. Bayonetta and Jean or whatever the other witch's name is again, sure, not the best designs ever by a long shot, but the rest is pretty fucking rad.

4th place finish in another tournament. I find the fact that I'm able to consistently finish in the money very encouraging.

Argh, I hate change.
Also, sex dolls are not for children.
(What is Bayonetta?)
A video game character designed by a Japanese man who has never seen a real, human female before.
You really don't get a sense of how fucked up they are until you get the legs in there as well:

11 heads tall, it's like Stretch Armstrong had a skanky sister that he really doesn't like to talk about.

Pretty sure Bayonetta is the first drag-queen video game character.

Back to Civilisation for me!

My art bone won't let me. It demands game art that doesn't make my eyes cry alizarin crimson tears.

This made me laugh in my laugh hole.
Also, one of my pieces is getting printed out 6 feet tall. Its goddamn daunting.
I dreamed of this great poker joke but like...now that I think about it it's not that great.

I couldn't disagree more.
But I don't want to get into that argument.
I'll disagree with you in the face
