OH GOD INSTANT DEATH SANDWORMS WHY

I FORGOT I EVEN HAD THIS PHOBIA

Then I guess you don't like uncircumcised penises.

...Well, that's one way of looking at it.

I know this is a joke, I'm just having trouble seeing the connection other than the fact that both are phallic shaped, and I don't know what "uncircumcised" has to do with it.  Sorry, I can be a little dense about these things sometimes.

Anyways I made it past the instant death sandworms.  Somehow.  Had to take a moment after that level to calm myself.

WE'RE GETTING GEN 3 REMAKES!  WOOT!

[Dakota Bob]

God fucking damnit, this Executioner's Chariot is fucking stomping the shit out of me, I feel like I'm about to go Hollow in real life...

[Sour Grapes]

Anybody else looking forward to Transistor?

Finally started playing the Phoenix Wright series. Well, one thing's for certain. The guy they had doing the sprites really really likes cleavage.

HOENN ACTUALLY CONFIRMED

GET HYPE

Fanservice and all that but the thing he is really good at is when he makes the witnesses and suspects lose their cool.

Those shocked expressions are just amazing and there is this one bad guy who actually seems to go super Sayan when he is finally revealed as the killer. (Not saying anything more because spoilers.)

Something's wrong with Jedi Academy.

My Lightsider Jedi is hypnotizing enemies into believing that she's their ally and that their friends are their enemies, then cutting them in half when they're done shooting their comrades to death.

My Darksider Jedi just fried them with lightning.

[Askold]

The real problem with the Jedi powers is that the Sith got all the destructive and offensive powers, while the good guys had...

"I shall wave my hand and control your mind subtly so that you won't trouble me" and the generic "stronger, faster, better" things that the Sith have as well.

It wasn't untill the prequel movies that the Jedi got the "force push" as an offensive damaging power. Dark forces 2 for example had stuff like healing, absorb (enemy attacks power you rather than damage), protection and blinding. The sith powers in that game were strangle, lightning, force throw and "KILL EVERY GODDAMN THING THAT I LOOK AT."

The Jedi way seems to be to avoid combat (even if they are willing to mind control others and even change their personalities against their will, which might seem more likely to be an "evil" power.) so their powers aren't really suited to combat.

...Actually it might be that the mind control bit got more use in the games simply because it is the one of the few things with any offensive use. (Or you could just be a force-shielded regenerating warrior that cuts everything with his/her saber. Which still doesn't seem like a "Jedi" thing to do when you fill the room with the dismembered body parts of your enemies.)

It's especially hilarious when the two are combined. When a certain female witness shits the bed, the only animation on her sprite is the rage-fuelling jiggling of her tits. I must say, it's been a while since I've laughed that hard at a game.

I even know which witness you're talking about.

-snip-

Yeah, pretty much.  I just find it funny that my Lightsider is, when you analyze her actions, a lot crueler than the Darksider.

The funny thing is, I could very easily get a Darkside ending with her due to the fact that, like KOTOR, the ending you get is determined by a single choice in the penultimate dungeon.

Well, you rarely even saw light side Jedi in the films before the prequels; Obi-Wan was pretty much it (Luke was self-taught after Episode V and was grayer than the past Jedi Council when he reformed the order), and he only lasted for half of one movie before going ghost. Even then, both were willing to maim and kill sentient beings at least in self-defense.

Luke certainly had few hesitations about knocking people into the Sarlaac in Episode VI, knowing full well that it would keep them alive to digest them excruciatingly slowly.
