I used to be a donut of the Silver variety

Then I became an Addit

Note to self: Never go in the sauna for an hour and then right afterwards take a ninety minute walk when it’s just as hot and smokey outside

Yeaaahhhh…that wasn’t a very smart idea on my part. I nearly collapsed, lol.

Thankfully, though, I was at least smart enough to bring a water bottle and a towel with me. Without those, I’d probably be knocking on some random people's doors like a lunatic asking if they have any water to spare or running through other people’s lawns that have their sprinklers still on.

Either way...next time, I’ll go in the sauna AFTER I finish a walk. That was just beyond way too stupid. :/

What is WAR even GOOD FOR?

Making certain individuals rich while others die and suffer the consequences for their actions.

Either that or it’s just some giant d*ck measuring contest.

Happy Canada Day (and not to mention also Free Agency Day)

Not only is it the 150th, but some people are going to get paid a LOT of money by signing with new teams by the end of this weekend. Hopefully those said teams don’t pay too much and don’t screw themselves over for too long (I'm looking at you, Canucks.)

Hopefully you guys happen to party hard and have fun and stay safe wherever you're celebrating from.

Cheers!

While the overall package wasn't a heavy hitter, Breath of Fire IV had some pretty rad ideas that I think are worth revisiting.

Geeze, I feel like such a minority person by not entirely hating really liking Dragon Quarter.

Don’t let Liberty hear you say that, Marrend, or she’ll cut you.

You better run for the hills, now.

The good news is I should have time to work on RMN and games again

But that’s right after he finishes making Hero’s Realm 0.2: A Hero’s Tale – The Pendulating Passage.

I should know ‘cause my uncle works for kentendo.

Well…guess it’s time to finally start commercialising Hero’s Realm now and making a decent living off that, lol.

But in all seriousness, I’m sad to hear about you losing your job, man. It always sucks when these types of things happen, especially out of the blue and seemingly out of nowhere. Hopefully you’ll find yourself some decent employment soon.

Darigaaz, this is my 7th year on this site!?

You guys are both way too old. The senior center is over in THAT direction, grandpas! :P

Not as bad as crossing the desert in 3.

And I totally forgot about poor ol’ Mina Elina (oops, thanks Feld) and what happens to her towards the end. Shit, that was pretty sad.

Yeah, we could do it where one year gives you a one point makerscore badge, five years for five, and so on. We could then have a thread stickied for when users reach a particular milestone, they then post in the thread and then Liberty (or whoever) gives that user the achievement after some minor clarification has been done. Bada-boom-bada-bing.

Yeah, Breath Of Fire 4 was a pretty good game, IMO, and I actually kind of prefer it more than 3, actually. Both games were pretty solid in my books, and had some really interesting ideas going for it, like you already mentioned.

I mean, the only sucky thing that I can remember right now is that they got rid of the dragon gene splicing mechanic from 3 and dumbed it down a bit by just having straight up transformations for Ryu. Plus the world map was reduced by going from point A to point B on a pretty linear pathway, but then again Breath Of Fire 3’s world map was pretty similar to it in a lot of cases, so it’s not that much of a big deal.

But yeah, having all your party members being able to fight together, and switch between one another for certain situations was a pretty cool idea. The combo system was neat, similar to something out of Chrono Trigger, and it was pretty cool how you got to play as the game’s main villain and kind of see things from his own personal perspective of what’s going on, compared to the other three games.

It’s just a shame that this Breath Of Fire game was pretty much the last game in the series that went this way before 5 and 6 started changing things unnecessarily to something else that’s almost completely unrecognizable to the rest of the series. Instead of taking away what worked before, they should have continued building upon it.
