I'm not going to play any HM games until they add same-sex options. Not sure if I'll like it even then though. Farm micromanagement doesn't sound like fun.

In other news, there's a out.

..... I too sometimes wish they would add in a lesbian feature into the games. I like the girl in Tree of Tranquility but her boy options suck. I don't like the boy in the game but I love his girl options. ...... I want my girl character to be a lesbian so bad it's pathetic.... ..... either that or create a damn boy MC that has some fucking balls.

RF3 annoys me with that, too. I LOVE RF3 for its farming and the social structure aspects and the characters are gorgeous, there's just two problems in the game. The boy is too femme for my tastes, but not that matters because the second problem is that the girls are all almost too dumb to live. ...... Meh...

But then in Tides of Destiny... FINALLY A BOY MC I LIKE... except that he's a bit of an asshole.... I really can't stand his reactions to many of the situations.

Raguna in RFF was fantastic. ^_^
Maybe I'll pop RFF into my Wii today to play... ... but I'm doing so well in HM1 that I don't want to get sidetracked.

^ Of course farming is fun. I do it in games that aren't even about farms.

Here's some killing, though:



That sliding maneuver is fun. Today I did the old cartoon-thing with running around a corner so that a pursuing ninja gets beaten up by street-thugs, though.

Countering molotovs with a flintlock-pistol (Er, "wheel-lock", sorry.) is also neat.

Still waiting on my HM:ANB D':
All the people who preordered from Natsume have it ;^;

Picked up Dishonored today, excited for that.

I like how the game doesn't really differentiate between killing nobody and killing very few people. That way going on a purely passive run really is just a matter of preference.

what game are we mocking this time?

[Hong]

The Hellion is from StarCraft II:

It is a mobile mechanical unit with a linear fire attack. It deals bonus damage to light units, which includes workers such as SCVs, Probes and Drones. This bonus damage is increased with the Infernal Pre-Igniter upgrade, which also changes the graphic of the flame to be blue instead of the usual fiery orange (IE Blue Flame Hellion). With their fast movement speed, ability to decimate workers and relatively cheap cost, the Hellion is utilized by players of all skill levels to blindly charge into the enemy's mineral line (where workers harvest) in order to rack as many kills in as they can before being destroyed or having to retreat.

As players learn to identify this threat, they may respond by telling all their workers to flee at once, creating a congo-line of workers to get torched in one go... which can have a very traumatizing experience for the player as they watch their entire economy burned down in seconds.

With how much Koreans love StarCraft, it is only natural that there are Korean commentators. They want to use the term "Blue Flame Hellion" to remain in-line with the rest of the world, but their inability to enunciate it properly is the source of the Brue Frame Herrion gag.
