Comment on A Fangirl’s Newfound Love for Jason Todd by El

OMG, CALM DOWN, LOL! If you read the article carefully, you can see that I said I knew about him before that – it’s just I didn’t care enough to notice him. Don’t worry, as I said: “I regret never really getting to know Jason before the New 52 came out, so I’m currently catching up on a few more Batman titles involving him.” I’m not reading the New 52 exclusively! :

To be honest, I DO like what I’ve seen in his other incarnations (Lost Days, Under the Red Hood, etc.) better than the New 52 version, especially since Red Hood and the Outlaws seems to be getting worse with every issue that comes out.

Honestly? This new default FemShep’s face isn’t so bad. I still like mine better (although my Renegade FemShep looks way better, I think – I just don’t have a picture of her), but yes, if we’re only talking about this new default FemShep’s face, she does look better than the original one. They just really screwed up the make-up, which was really the only thing I was complaining about in this post.

And me, posting? Not regularly, I’m afraid. But yes, I do come and go. Glad to see you’re still around, too!

Okay, okay, I reread my comment, and it totally didn’t end up saying what I wanted to say.

I found the default Femshep face to be a little… fugly… and I ended up hacking my character file to get at some of the unaccessible hairstyles. Particularly in ME2, I dug the look of my scarred up Shepard. So I’m motivated by this weird combination of “I dig these battlehardened scars, go realism!” and “gogo emo makeup!”

On the bright side: ME armor is not particularly form-fitting or fantastic. On the down side: a real, make-up-less Shepard was probably never in the cards, simply because make-up = pretty = what we’re going to get as our game’s “pin-up”.

tl;dr — you’re absolutely right, I’m sorry my comment came off the way it did. I was trying to be a little self-effacing, while admitting the rightness of your position. Also: glad to see you’re still posting!

I’m all for sexy, kickass women, too. But for me, this is not the sort of make-up that a sexy, kickass woman who happens to be a war veteran and active soldier would wear.

I guess I’m mostly speaking as someone who actually DOES take her time to do her own make-up, study make-up tutorials, and do research on what kind of make-up is appropriate for which occasion.

And as someone who happens to hate really thick/dark make-up on women who AREN’T supposed to be emo or goth-looking.

I liked it.

But I go for the “I’ve got sexy tossed hair and I kickass” FemSheps. I guess.

You’re a lifesaver;

And for anyone who happens to be using Vista and is unable to load DOSINST.EXE directly, you can run load that program using DOSBOX to modify the settings.

Comment on First Impressions: SoulCalibur V by El

I like the way you put it. Namco Bandai really did take one step forward and two steps back on this one. Sadly, I’m a bit too disappointed with this game that I don’t even want to get my hopes up on them getting it right next time…assuming there will be a next time. There hasn’t been any word regarding a sequel just yet, so I’m not sure if we’re going to see a sixth installment.

Then again, they announced that IV was the last game in the franchise, but they opted to create V in the end. Only time will tell, I guess.

Totally agree. I feel SC 5 was an instance of one-step-forward, two-steps-back. Story mode was a complete disappointment. I fear fighting games are turning into FPS’s, where story is practically non-existent and the only thing that matters is online.
Hopefully they get it right next time.
