Pretty much lol Also I wanna take my new gear for a spin, so I was thinking about streaming Nier Automata in about 2-3 hours. Care to join in?
To figure out how it works?
Yeah the little I played of it I really liked. It just got way too hard way too fast for me. So I’m counting on you
Funny enough though, all the talk of giant robots has me back to playing a few games I have. I still really appreciate the fact Front Mission does a good job staying within the real robot genre. Gundam may have created the genre, but it's always been beholden to super robot tropes.
Happy New Year!
We can always analyze the themes of each FF game and debate their quality for now.
Lol yeah, it’s just an idea, so if you’re not comfortable taking that perspective, we can definitely focus on something more familiar to the both of us We still have time to think about the topics, so while I’d focus on FF/games, I still need to figure out what angle we’ll be taking with this. Hopefully by the time you’re ready to go we’ve got this figured out.
It's an interesting idea, but I honestly don't think I have the chops for it. I love me some mecha, but I'm hardly as die hard as I might seem at times. Hell just doing that list for you, I discovered a dozen or so shows I should check out for myself, and I realized my knowledge of Super Robot shows is weak.
There’s this show, Musicalsplaining, where Lindsay Ellis, who is a musical theater nerd, talks to her friend Kaveh, who hates musicals, about musicals. The episodes are always about particular musicals that they go to see together - for him it’s always the first time, for her it’s usually sonething she’s already seen. This kind of inspired the idea I had, which is we could talk like that about mecha shows. Like, a bit different since I’m not a hater, but comparing a newv’s perspective with a veteran’s has a ton of potential
