Community Update: An update for you, kupo!

[Shorty]

Hello, friends! Please welcome my colorful harem of chocobos who will help me out with this week's Community Update!

• Stop by Wonder Square for the Masquerade II signups! Wildraubtier will make it a fun game, I can assure you, but whatever you do, don't call him a frogwaffle. The consequences he will bestow upon you would be more than I care to think about.
• Come get to know our beloved Agent Proto in his Eyes on You thread!
• Uh oh! Shiny's having a bad hair day, and she's honored us with photographic evidence. Be a gem and come tell her how fabulous she looks anyway.
• Trekkies, unite! Pike is rallying for your support in The Lounge!
• Our very lovely newbie AlaynaMae has offered us an amusing summed-up play-by-play of her readthrough of Fifty Shades of Grey. Come show your enthusiasm for her recap!

• I hope I'm not the only one who's noticed The Return of Wolf Kanno. Come read what he has to say about Final Fantasy Type-0 and The Missing Pillar of Fabula Nova Crystallis!
• New quests for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn players brought to you by Aulayna! Chapter Four begins in a couple of days!
• Is it logical for blitzball players to hold their breath as long as they do? Come join the debate in the FFX forum!
• What if Zack had been the hero? How do you think Final Fantasy VII would have been different? Talk about it here!

And some humor:


And some links:

• These awesome nerds choreograph a Final Fantasy Dance Mode and you should watch it.
• Check out this absolutely stunning Final Fantasy artwork (and more! there's Pokemon and others as well!) (you might have to sign up) (and some is nsfw)
• Someone mixed Tidus' horrible laugh in as the laughtrack for Big Bang Theory. Better or worse? You decide.
• Have some nice Vivi fanart.
• Check out the 2013 Best Female Cosplay done by a lovely young woman costumed as Garnet Til Alexandros! Note: check out the detailed descriptions of how her costume all came together.

Until next time!

I'm loving all the extra bits you're adding in to this.

[Aulayna]

The chocobro's are broken for me.

[Parker]

[Jiro]

you should hear the running commentary with this 50 shades thing, hoo boy

[Miss Mae]

Digging these updates. Nice to know what I've missed around the traps.

[Shorty]

Thanks, guys! Also, if you can think of anything that might be a fun link or feature to include in the updates, feel free to suggest them.

[Ayen]

The extra bits at the end really help tie it all together.

[noxious.sunshine]

the 50 shades link is busted.

[Shorty]

What about birthday recognition? We didn't have any last week or this week to note D: And thanks!

The 50 Shades link has been updated.

[Parker]

It is a very special person's birthday today actually Shorty.

[Shorty]

Do go on, dear.

[Parker]

don't you have a thing you can use to check?


its crop you bean

[Shorty]

The thing I use to check is the calendar and I also rely on the What's Going On? tab and it's not smurfing in either of those places

[Parker]

I understand. I think it's best if you visit every active member's profile from now on each week to check. That's the only solution I can suggest anyway.
