On The Dark Side Of Things

DarkSide · **Posted:** Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:39 am

HELLO.

I do reviews and lists for a small site in my spare time, mainly anime. I'm a text reviewer and I like to embed music in my stuff with Youtube videos, so I'm gonna leave some links to some of my reviews that are still up so the full effect is there.

Oh, and if you're wondering why I'm posting links to SA, we're still trying to get our actual site running so we're using the blog system there as a back up.

EDIT: Gonna update the OP every time I update on this thread as well as post.

I just wrote up a retrospective on Invader Zim.

That was amazing, and I platonically love you for that, but you DID get one thing wrong.

Minimoose. He was there the ENTIRE time. Yup. Wasn't introduced in an episode that never got made. Nope. that would just be SILLY. Nick isn't SILLY like that!

Ah, Invader Zim~ How I love you and all your depravity. Aha, you hit on all the main reasons why I love the show so much.
The only thing I would really add is that Gaz to me seemed to be one of the only smart characters besides Tak; she just didn't feel the need to show it much.
(Also, I still can't believe that creepy organ episode aired on children's television. xD)

THAT episode? How about when Zim gives his 'best friend' a gift that RIPS HIS EYES OUT WHILE HE'S SCREAMING IN PAIN, and then replaces them with robot eyes that makes him think a SQUIRREL is his best friend.

Granted, it was in a sillouette, but we still saw a sillouette of robot arms ripping a child's eyes out.

And it was AWESOME

The 15 things I plan too never review.

I inserted a lot of opinion on several of these, so it still counts as a review kind of.

Ooooh Xenosaga....

The only game I know of that has unskippable cutscenes THAT. LONG.

Which also makes it the only game I know of that asks you to save before....AND AFTER the cutscene. Then has another save point shortly after....then another cutscene.

And...Could you explain a bit about how XII's story was good? I admitedly never FINISHED the game, because the gameplay was god awful, but I didn't think the story was too good either...

Like, some plot points were brought up, then thrown away instantly, Like the rebel fight at the castle when Vaan is stealing the dusk shard, which...is never mentioned again, or built upon...

And the swords....That play no purpose in the plot other than justification for another dungeon...

It's mainly the politically charged plot and some of the more interesting character moments as Vann starts to disappear into the background where he belongs. Little doodoo.
