“One day, someone stuffed lit firecrackers into the mouth of the classes pet bunny. The bunny died horrendously.”
Well, thats not a line you read every day. O_o’
What kind of elementary students would actually do that? Or was I just an immense goody two-shoes in primary school?
Then again, this same novel, Bungaku Shoujo, has a female protagonist that eats literature. She forces her Kouhai to write short stories. And then scoffs them as snacks. No really.
Notice the teeth marks on the book pages.
It is delicious literature you must eat it.
Certainly one of the most strange light novel translations I’ve read recently.
In other news, I’ve been working on a new version of an ancient patch I made for Fire Emblem 4 in the distant past. So most of todays spare time has been spent hacking away. Evidently I’m having a FE resurgeance at the moment.
This patch is called ‘The Geneologists Nightmare’ and the main purpose of it now (as it was before) was swapping the characters bloodlines and classes around, so that the player of this version of FE4 loses the two normally broken ultimate weapons the player is given, the Holsety tome and the Balmung, but instead gets to use two of the ultimate weapons normally locked to the CPU, the Torhammer and the Swanchika.
More importantly, its goal was to do so in a way that not only required a five minute hack, but in a way which completely changes the game experience. Alot of planning was required to ensure everything worked not only smoothly, but well. That is to say, as many old pairings that used to be possible or canon should still be possible and good, the levels and enemies should proceed glitch free with slightly increased difficulty, and the player should have to think about the game in a fresh light.
Also, the patch is meant to try and fix a personal tick I have with the game. That being strange inheritance issues. Like Aideen having Lester with blue hair when her husband has green hair (she was cheating?!?). Or Fin saying ‘You look just like your mother‘ to Rana when Rana looks very little like her mother.
I’ve been having some issues with colour palettes at the moment, and may have to change or alter some portraits still, but I’ll present some early alpha version screencaps for you to stare at:
I just thought it would be funny to have Sharlow as the castles primary defender. No wonder he had an epic fail.
Alec Oifaye now has a split personality. One part cheeky knight, one part master strategist.
Actually, my name is Corpul, but since you insist on calling yourself Aira, we’ll call it even.
Crazy Ethlin Strike!
Ardan finally has Pursuit, just like he always wanted!
Azel loves fiery wenches swords, dont’cha know?
Anyway, I was also planning on adding another Spot the Difference post eventually, (probably tommorow or thursday) since the K-ON one is ludicrously popular. It’ll be more amusing things from recent animes than all concentrated, however, most likely. See you then.
