Kazuhiko Katō, aka Monkey Punch, creator of Lupin III. Fred Patten co-founder of the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization, early seller of untranslated manga in the US to non-Japanese audiences, early fansub translator of anime and the first hire of Streamline pictures as a translator. He's also the one who pointed out that fans had mistranslated the first Lupin III film, Mystery of Mameux as Mystery of Mamo but Patten basically felt like it'd been mistranslated so many times that they kept the title mistranslated when Streamline released their own dub of the film in the mid 90s.

Have you emailed support@obsidian.net? Posting here may generate a response if the developers see it, but they are not as active here as they once were, but the email will be seen by someone and directed to the appropriate area for review. Obsidian also says it will help if you can provide any of the following: What platform are you on? Stream/Android/iPad, etc. What version of the OS are you running? Android 4.4, iOS 9.3, etc. What model is the device? Galaxy Tab 3, iPad Mini 4, etc. What is your PFID#? (Located in the settings menu) Is pass & play on? Is permadeath on? Tutorial, Story Mode, or Quest Mode? (If not quest mode, did you recently enter it?) Characters in Party Location of each character Turn Order Scenario & Scenario Difficulty. If on non-normal difficulties, which wildcard powers are in play? What card was encountered when the issue occurred? (Or check, or card just played, etc) Did the issue occur on the first explore or a subsequent explore? If subsequent, what card did you last encounter? What was its resolution? (IE, you just encountered an enchanter and failed the check, and on an additional explore you ran into a blessing of the gods but didn't auto acquire it) Did other characters aid the check? What did they use to aid it? Was the encounter a Horde? (Skeleton Horde, Goblin Raid, Zombie Nest, Zombie Horde, Garrison Location Power w/ multiple characters, Henchmen encounter in Black Fang w/ multiple characters)

The End Of Empathy

So THAT'S what Blast Processing is!

A lot of players had their PC kill Khalid in the first game so they didn't have to spend a slot on him to get Jaheira (apparently similar happened with Dynahier vis-a-vis Minsc) rather than wait for Irenicus to do it for them. But what I mean is that BG2 is great if you buy into the framing sequence - to either save Imoen or to face down Irenicus or to find out what he knows about unlocking your power. But there are a lot of places the game breaks down - when you finish BG1 you don't have to have Imoen in your party so may not have a relationship with them; you might not have spend time with Khalid or Dynaheir to feel strongly about revenge; you may be playing a neutral character who doesn't care about revenge or power, and sees the Cowled Wizards as the appropriate balance to Irenicus and want to leave well enough alone... I hear that PoEII fails in contextualizing the PC's primary actions doing side quests with the end goals of the plot of the people, but I'd argue that this is probably only a matter of degree and that any RPG where the PC isn't on plot rails runs the risk of it (or put another way, hides the issue better or worse than others). YMMV.

Unless you feel like you have to save Imoen or murderize Irenicus, there's little reason to to do any of the quests (or stay in Athkatla, for that matter) in BG2. But that's the difference between a computer RPG and P&P, the plot has to be something and can't really be adjusted once it is something.

I thought it was in one of the prequels. May be mis-remembering because I haven't watched them in a long while.

Sometimes there's not a lot firemen can do; the fire could have been far spread before they got there (or even before they got the call). If its burning particularly hot, water might not even be getting to it to try and douse it.

Oh it is funny, I laughed. And then I thought about it some (my bad).

Can you switch Visas to one of the double bladed ones and get her single bladed lightsaber for purposes of the training (and then switch back)?

Haven't they shown that lightsabes can block a small crafts laser anyhow? My guess is the ships damaged though (or Kylo isn't trying to kill her).

But at least you're not old and gray in your heart.

They're doing construction at the Cathedral; can't help but wonder if there was an accident in that process that started the fire.

But what if TrueNeutral is carrying an injured coyote trying to seek help when he shows up at Guard Dog's house?

Thanks everyone!

I need to watch THE MEG at some point.

There are some crazies who do. Some crazies also romanticize Hitler for that matter. But it's not surprising to see people assuming one side gets special treatment. What about Hitler / Stalin slash fiction?

Assuming she's not a poster here, I find it highly unlikely criticism of KP's interpretations of her opinions will produce anything useful. And if she does post here, if she wants her views criticised, she's free to post them here herself.

Excessive amounts of bubble wrap?

Your OUTRAGE OUTRAGES me.

Regarding getting the guy from the inn to save at the end in Dragon's Dogma, it was funny the first time though when he just randomly popped up. Less funny on any later run through where you're angling for someone specific (before it was fixed). In respect to romance being a major aspect of the human condition, this is why I'm pro-romance in games - provided the developers are interested in including it in a thoughtful and well realized way and it fits the scope of the game. Not every story needs to have romance (or even has the capacity for it within the narrative) though, and I think that extends to video game narratives. IMO you could control for sexual orientation within character creation allowing you to pick your orientation (although I can't help but feel this may just create different concerns in players to the concerns now expressed). The developer would also have to think through what it means within the context of the game as well (how do people know? should a particularly unperceptive character still be able to try to flirt with you even if they don't match your pick (and how will the people who don't like the flirting opposite of the PC's orientation feel)? Is there a meaning in the greater world to this pick and this ability to perceive what this pick is?). There's also risks of having a particular orientation having less choice and therefore feeling unsatisfying if not done carefully (while debate exists on the quality/usefulness of BGII's romances, I think its fair to say the female PC is a poor choice when one is looking at the romance options without modding the game vs the male PC) and trying to avoid disparity might create vanilla, numbers based romance story arcs (2 for you, 2 for you, 2 for you...) or hiding companion reactivity behind the romance so the only really good npc is the one you romance.
