Yeah I've never really seen a Scorpion, but I definitely would have the same reaction you do if I do see one suddenly.  Probably similar to the first time I saw a potato bug before I found out they're beneficial to plants.

While that is a viable solution I'm not willing to shell out $80.00 for a keyboard, I'm a college student without a job as of this moment.  I might look for a cheaper option sometime in the future but as of right now I really should try to avoid making long rants on my iPad instead of my Laptop.

*flails and freaks out*  That's nasty!  That is so nasty!  I can't even find the words to describe how nasty that is!

The chocolate-covered bacon, on the other hand, sounds heavenly.  *_*

You do realize that many insects and arachnids, such as crickets and huge spiders, are eaten around the world as a delicacy mostly in Mexico and Central America right.  Most of the time they aren't covered in chocolate and eaten with nothing on them and sometimes eaten live.  Then again I wouldn't eat them either.

Anyway I found out I need to learn how to write better outlines.

I meant because of how slow a computer with bad internet can be sometimes due loading the pictures hench why we have a 56K warning on any major image posting thread.  Now excuse me while I put Spoilers tags on my post since it's long and it indeed has spoilers.  I would have done it before but I was using a iPad and it's hard to do specific things without directional keys and a precise cursor.

Xnamkcor can you please put the pictures in spoiler tags, it takes up too much space and a long time to load.  


Now then I will say that Final Fantasy 3 is by far my least favorite of the first 6 games of the series, though I have not played 2 I think I would like that more due to the fact that I play Pokemon competively and I know the basics of Disgaea in terms of weapon stat grinding.  

Characters and Story

(click to show/hide)

I don't think anything was wrong with both versions stories, the stories were relatively unchanged as far as I've seen and are very simple but not really complex.  The characters in the first game were so generic that all four Onion Knights may have well been the same character.  I mean we didn't know the gender of these characters unless you read a manga that revealed that there is a female, when I saw the Famicon version I thought that they were all boys.  The added characteristics were very small and simple but at least made them slightly more individual.

Refia is a caring tomboy and, for the first time in any of the games, she is a heroine that is not a love interest.  I like Arc and Ingus the most, Arc is the only one that has some character developement he goes from a timid boy that is consistently bullied to a passionate young man who wants to help others.  Ingus' loyalty and devotion to Princess Sara is adorable and you can see the feelings they have for each other without it saturating their entire character.  Luneth is very generic and I have nothing to say about him, he's the standard brave courageous hero that is a base for most heros in most RPGs.  All in all it's still very simple I see nothing complex about these characters but they aren't that bland either.

The story is generic as heck, easily poorest of the first 6.  It's like Final Fantasy 1 trying to be Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy 4.  The story is simple but it adds the complex thoughts of how both Light and Darkness can be corrupt and I felt the fact that there was a Surface World and a Floating Continent was completely pointless.  I think it would have been better to say that the four orphans were descendants of the Dark Warriors instead of coming from a different land all together. Aria was also pointless, I honestly felt she could have been a bit more.  The opening of the DS version made her seem like once of the most important characters but she's not, in fact I felt she was the least important.

I do like the 3 students of Noah and Xande did have a good motive for why he was doing what he was doing honestly while mortality is a good gift to make you realize what it is to be human he was scared of it knowing he will die because before he couldn't.  I felt Unei had the weirdest gift as the Dream World didn't have much presence and the fact that she couldn't wake up on her own really makes me wonder what Noah was thinking, then again Noah didn't exactly seem normal from what little we heard if him much like Kluya in 4 and Mithos in Tales of Symphonia, they didn't think of the concenquences of their actions and how they would effect the populace and the world.  Of course anything about Xande was ruined when the Giant Space Flea from Nowhere, the Cloud of Darkness, shows up at the last minute.

Battle and Game Mechanics

(click to show/hide)

Now on to the battle mechanics and game mechanics and how bad I think they are.  As Acid mentioned before there is a major balancing issue in the game mechanics I mean I understand why they had Spell Counters back then but not for the DS remake, I'm glad that the PSP version seemed to have gotten rid of that. It really didn't make sense for the Devout and Magus classes since they had a pyramid Spell Counter distribution rather than a different one especially for the Devout. You use Cure and Cureraja more than the other cure spells, Cure for outside of battle is a cost effective god send.  

The Thief Class is very stupid the only useful thing you can Steal is the second most powerful Spear the Gungir but you have to have a Thief Class level of 71 when you steal it from Odin and since there are much better classes than Thief chances are you aren't at that level.  Also the fact that while the Thief Class can unlock any lock, when you switch from one class to another you get a Stat Penalty and have to wait until the character adjusts to make the Penalty disappear.
I understand they did it to balance it but it's really stupid.  Then again I love how broken Final Fantasy 5 is with the job system so I could be spoiled because of it.

I also don't understand why everyone can Duel Wield it makes 0 sense.

However what really sucks is getting the Ultimate weapons, you either have to max your job level or get them through Wi-Fi.  I rather do a quest than level grinding to the max and I don't think I can use the Wi-Fi.  Not to mention you may not be able to grind that high until the end of the game and very useful unless you have Wi-Fi since you need Wi-Fi to use the Mognet and get the Super Boss.  I think the Onion Knight class could have been a great New Game + hard mode but without Wi-Fi you can't get it and to fully utilize it you need a High Level Thief.

Overall it's good as a simple game but the game mechanics make it unbearable and without Wi-Fi it can get boring after the main quest.

What the heck did I just see?

Anyway I say that 6Teen was still worse than Johnny Test.

I actually liked the old Johnny Test and some of the newer episodes with the parodies and stuff though some of the concepts back then were still pretty bad and now it's worse. I'm looking at you Moonsies and how many races for Super Champion of the World was really necessary?

What really hurts the show is the characters I mean I like Dukey, Mary, Black and White, and their Mom they are the only good thing about the show.

But most of the other characters do not have any redeemable characteriestics I hate Johnny for being a selfish lazy but occasionally smart dumbass who just gets worse as time goes on and always gets what he wants at the end.

Susan is a selfish [sonic slicer], I mean I know Bling Bling is awkward and crazy but she is so mean to his advances that I'm surprised that he doesn't go for Mary she's a saint compared to her.  One episode Bling Bling and Johnny fight to the death and Susan doesn't even care as long as Bling Bling doesn't get close to her.  Other times she takes advantage of the things he gives her despite the fact that she hates him, that I can't stand at all.

Gil is a too dumb to live pretty boy with a California skater/surfer dude attitude and the girls love him almost as much as 12 years olds love Bieber and Twilight despite that he never gives them the time of day.  I know the girls are 13 but they should know better not to mention the fact that they both want him is just plain stupid, and they're supposed to be prodigies. Not to mention the girls obsessive and border line yandre tendencies to get his love is not something that is right to show a kid.

However I hate the Dad most of all for how cruel he is and the fact that now they kinda made him a sadist, not to mention how he makes worse punishments for Johnny than the girls who arguably are worse than Johnny. He also now enjoys punishing Johnny almost as much as Timmy's parents neglect Timmy, but at least Timmy's parents obviously love him so much.  I remember one episode that he got obsessed with playing a video game but at the same time he controlled Johnny in the real world, the girls tried to get him away by saying they're life was in danger but the only way he got away was that his meat loaf was burning.  Not to mention how money obsessed he was at one point where he would risk Johnny's life to get it. But what really took the cake was the time he was cheering for the fact that Johnny may potentially go to Military School and pretty much sneered at him the entire episode whenever he could.  I mean that's just not right, and it just got worse now because Dukey sounds exactly like the Dad.

I felt the show had potential but of course like most crap now it's just as bad as the new Sponge Bob episodes.

Well I personally wouldn't kill it since I know it's harmless and not actively trying to hurt people.  Though I wouldn't know what to do if I encountered a snake, and I don't want to encounter a snake.

Ugh my head hurts from the nonsense going on here, I just can't believe how incoherent this got.

Let me try to bring this back on topic, though it's probably not going to work.

Shadow world

You control Mario but can only see a silhouette of him and the enemies boss of that world is Shadow Mario similar to fighting Shadow Link.

Also a Donkey Kong Country or Game and Watch world world since we had a Zelda level in Super Mario 3D land and I can't think of another series that would work.

So, while I was taking a walk today, a five-foot black snake lunged at my leg.  I didn't see it until it struck, so I leapt backwards several feet.  Immediately afterward, I shooed the snake into the weeds so that no one else would find it and potentially hurt it.

Man that sounds scary.

I know it's like they're hopped up and caffeine and don't pay attention to the conversation right?

Like this

Super Mario Sunshine LP

that someone sent me where they point out everything that is happening in the cut scene like it was a book or talking to a blind person, I couldn't stand 5 minutes of it.

But that situation is worse than the video for sure.
