Very cute. Are they simply altered sprites, or is the maker intending to put them in ShoddyBattle or something?

I don't know, the limited notes they leave don't really say.

Pokemon: Furry Edition?

Am I the only one who thinks those Koffing/Wheezing sprites are kind of creepy? Also whatever the pokemon is that's made out of electro-magnets.

Magnemite and Magneton.

Koffing and Wheezing just seem cute in a vaguely strange way, ditto for Grimer and Muk.

It's the bulbasaur chain that really worries me.

Note that when Crissa said the other images aren't work safe, she ain't kidding.

I decided after going to the site and clicking on the very first link, that it would be a good idea to know japanese before clicking random links on that site, the description probably was a warning of some sort.

On the pokemon girls, they run from pretty ridiculous (the doduo/drio one sticks out, also don't care for the pika/raichu ones), to somewhat cute. (Thought the zubat/golbat girls were cute, the venusaur one was kind of cute too, but then I'm biased, I picked Bulbasaur as my first pokemon.) Notable are the squirtle chain, and the pidgey chain stuck out as visually appealing to me. Oh, and the ghosts.

...I really wonder why anyone ever wanders into areas I call not work safe.

Especially on a website called monster-girls.

I thought it was more cute monster girls in the theme of the pokemon pictures. It seems that in the case of the one picture I clicked, I wasn't very accurate.

Also, Mortal Kombat Vs DC was edited in the US version to make a T rating. It will not be edited in the european version.

Anyone know of a way to play a european game on an American 360? If it's too much of a bitch, I'll play the US version, I just want to know my options.

I think the point, Count, was that if it was just cute anime pics with boobies or whatnot, I wouldn't have bothered to append 'not worksafe'... Just 'cause I don't think of that stuff.

True. the images you posted would be considered "not work safe" by most workplaces to begin with, I guess I should have given it some thought.

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 2:47 am

Bah, anyone browsing Internet forums at work deserves to be fired anyway.

Well I have Far Cry 2 and Fallout 3.

Crissa was right they are just FPS games, yes Fallout 3 has is basically Morrowind, but its still primarily a shooter. They just took everything that was moderately disappointing about Morrowind and made the combat into an FPS.

You'd think by the third plus try at their latest generation of "free roaming" rpg quest stuff they might have made it even half as free roaming as their old stuff. But the whole damn thing is still a tiny claustrophobic bug infested scripted cluster fuck.

And whoever thinks "you won't get far if you treat it like an FPS" clearly sucks at FPS since I'm not the best and I can still make pretty good progress on nothing but manual head shots.

I don't want to be TOO harsh, it's OK it simply not even remotely half as special as people seem to think and sure as hell fails to bring anything new to PC role playing gaming. But then I suppose that's kind of traditional for Fallout (hah, suck that long standing fallout fans!)

But still it's not like it's utterly sucky and dissapointing. Like Farcry 2.

I was hoping for a cool pretty stealth based combat game... and got a cut down under featured "GTA Africa" with like 4 fucking cars and a totally annoying failure of stealth implementation.

It doesn't even have Fallout's charming (if sadly very rarely used) raging stylistic flamboyance (Vault Tech Mascot I'm looking at you) The quests are uninspired and the writing and dialogue abysmal. And as pretty as stuff is it's only really pretty when you set it all on fire, otherwise it may as well be as drab and depressing as the Fallout world for all that it visually appeals to me.

It's almost enough to make a guy waste money on some trash like Sacred 2 hoping that the dark horse suddenly takes responsibility for producing anything that is actually FUN to play...

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Wed Nov 26, 2008 11:17 am

So, I went to the website to see if Sacred is the game I was thinking of. First image to load here is the picture of the Celestial. Look at that expression on her face. It took me a while to realise she has "spooky tattoos" on her eyes and cheeks, and glowing white eyes. It looked like shadows and her eyes clenched shut as though wincing from the pain/effort of lifting a sword.

Anyway, I played the original Sacred a little bit, some time ago. Just an hour or so, and I can't remember how much I enjoyed it. I think it was "Better than Diablo 2, but I hated D2 so that's no achievement. I won't play this to the end."

Still enjoying Disgaea (DS) and Dwarf Goblin Fortress (PC) at the moment.

Holy fuck, I just realized Mass Effect's basis is a ripoff of Mega Man Legends (also released as Mega Man 64).

In MML, the world has flooded, leaving human civilization stranded on a bunch of islands. Technology is futuristic-modern--and constantly supplied by people who go down into the technological ruins which survived the flood to pick up gizmos and power crystals.

The ruins are home to machines called Reaverbots.

It's a spoiler, but at the end, Mega Man finds out that he's a Reaverbot of a high class, one designed to destroy malfunctioning Reavers. He finds this out from an Administrator-class Reaverbot who refers to human beings as 'carbons' and makes ready to activate a program to wipe them off the island, this being something that must be done periodically to keep the 'carbons' from getting out of hand. The final boss fight is, in fact, done to stop this purge from happening.

For those who have played Mass Effect...sound familiar?

Oh, like we haven't seen that plot before.

I've been playing Okami for the Wii, recently. Originally for the PS2, the company the ported it did a bad job, in the sense that the game freezes under certain conditions. Great game, though. Through trial and error after losing an hour or so of progress, I discovered that I can make the game freeze on command by rapidly pressing the map button. Thanks, ReadyAtDawn studios!

Because I practically breath and swim in them like some kind of prehistoric swamp beast of monster girl smut?

Seriously, I don't even blink. It's nothing new to me.

Not after... ShttngDckNppls.

I'm still not going to touch that until there's a decent tiles version, as with the later incarnations of Dungeon Crawl.
Also, I seriously hope it becomes some kind of Dorf/Goblin/Kobold/Cutebold Fortress.
With tiles.

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Sun Feb 01, 2009 1:51 pm

I got completely bored with Dorf Fortress. Even with Goblins. Haven't touched it in ages. I think someone did make a tileset version, but all that would do is make it easier to understand what's going on at a glance - I seriously got used to just knowing what all the symbols meant. The game just doesn't keep my interest.

I played Bookworm Adventures recently, and that's fun - you kill monsters by making large words out of the letters they give you. Also been playing Puzzle Quest on the DS - bejewelled meets RPG.

Oh, and now I have a telly in my bedroom, so I hooked the spare PS2 up to it and continued playing Odin Sphere and Shadow Hearts 3. With the occasional round of Rumble Roses mixed in.

Speaking of which, how far are you on Odin Sphere? I haven't touched it since the Great Mistaken Overwrite of '08.

At Palladium they were discussing Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad. It's sort of like Dynasty Warriors, except you play a bikini-clad samurai cowgirl.
