World 5 went about as well as you would expect a train wreck to go.
Extra 5 was absolute bullshit of the highest degree. Precision platforming for collectables during a skiing segment that segues into precision chopper flying for collectables with Kamek and Baseball Bandits constantly knocking you around. Not fun. It felt like a motherfucking ROM hack. |

'Tall, strange, seemingly older than he really is...' Caionna thinks to herself, trying to figure out if that description fits anyone she knows. Drawing a blank, she shrugs it off and contemplates how to best answer Ani.
"Well," she begins tentatively, "I don't really know what to say about myself. I'm just a girl with a strong knack for magic and magical things. There's not a whole lot to me that I'm willing to divulge to a total stranger. I'm sorry." |

Just played though Shovel Knight on Wii U. I beat the normal mode in just under five hours with 80% item completion.
Yacht Club Games really hit the nail on the head with this one. They took the best elements from a number of classic games and mixed them nicely with newer game elements. Old elements include: an intro stage (Mega Man X), an overworld (Super Mario Bros 3), activated items (Castlevania), side scrolling action (Mega Man), eight bosses and rematches thereof before the final boss (Mega Man), downward attacking (Zelda II), and many more. The most prevalent new feature is recoverable money loss on death, similar to that of Dark Souls: When you fail, be it falling to an enemy or falling into a hazard, you drop a portion (up to three separate units of 10%, based on how much you're carrying) of your carried gold where you fell (as opposed to Dark Souls making you drop all of your souls) which can be recovered if you pick it up without dying again and dropping more money. However, unlike Dark Souls, the game doesn't take into consideration the accessibility of your lost spoils, potentially making recovery impossible. The difficulty is perfect. It's hard, but not punishing. Every failure is almost certainly the player's fault, but it allows for learning from your mistakes. The upgrade system is unique in that unlike other games that just increase your damage output and reduce your damage intake, you get specialized bonuses and penalties based on the armor you choose. One armor increases your max MP, but doubles the damage you receive; another gives you a damage boost for two consecutive aerial thrust attacks; a third one prevents knockback from attacking and being attacked, but makes Shovel Knight more susceptible to his own momentum (think Luigi Mode in SMB2J). There are also several other armors to choose. I give this game a spade out of ten. This game takes what made the classics great and rolled them together perfectly. It's a fun little romp that is well worth the fifteen dollar price tag. I highly suggest picking it up. It's on Steam, Wuu, and 3DS. |

It usually depends on the game. If it's one I'm familiar with, I'll typically try to play it all the way through as completely as possible.
I usually only ragequit a game on stream if it really pisses me off, or if the stream can't handle the feed. Yoshi's Island was a request after I finished Pokemon Bronze, and I plan to do my randomized Nuzlocke of Silver after I'm finished with it. After that, I don't really have anything planned. |

Isn't it great when our threads go cold like this? |

Caionna smiles uneasily and says, "Well, if you must know, I grew up in a magician's guild and graduated on the highest honors. After that, I became an adventurer with Bel and several other wayfarers of the multiverse. There's not much else to really say without getting into uncomfortable detail." Turning her gaze to the ceiling for no reason, she adds, "Besides, we may someday meet a villain that will divulge ill-gotten information about me in an overly creepy way." The last statement hangs eerily with foreshadowing.
Zissou nods in agreement up until the last part, where he interjects, "I surely hope we had gotten rid of that fool... He seemed so strangely fixated to you..." He trails off, muttering to himself. Caionna overhears Adel mumbling to himself and turns her attention toward him, "I'm sorry, what were you talking about?" After a short pause she adds, "I don't believe we properly introduced ourselves... My name is Caionna Hoir. You can call me 'Cai' for short." She smiles sweetly with a slight bob of her head. |

"Bear in mind Ani," Caionna begins, "This realm is in the fold between planes." She continues, "Some worlds, like the one I come from, are flowing with magical energy that can be channeled. Some, like the one I assume you come from, either lost its magic from overuse, or never had it to begin with."
She looks at the staff, shaking her head, "You must not meet very smart people... I can tell that's some kind of technology, and not magical in the slightest." Inspecting it from a distance she adds, "It doesn't emit any kind of magical energy, and it's made of metal. Metal isn't terribly good at conducting magical energy." |

Caionna turns bright red and averts her gaze at Ani's flirtatious complements, feebly saying, "Thank you."
Zissou laughs and interjects, "Let us not forget that I taught her much of what she knows! Who would have thought that she would grow to become the best and the brightest of our whole plane!" He smiles softly and nods. In an attempt to avert Ani's attention from Caionna, having sensed her discomfort of trying to be swooned by the cat-person, he says, "Master Zarik may be more up your alley with the technology talk. He owns a tinkery near our home, and he is always building new gadgets and gizmos for whatever needs need to be filled. "Speaking of Zarik," He pauses, "We should probably get on finding the lad. He may be in trouble--" He stops when he notices Caionna glaring at him insistently, "Erm... More so than he is with you for having gone missing." |

I'm indifferent about Minecraft. I'm more creative with it than anything, and I can hardly fight mobs to save my life. I'll consider it if I can abduct you for commentary. Skype works wonders for that.
SMB3 is on the list to do. |

Hearing the knocking on the door, Caionna takes the opportunity to get out from behind the counter. Opening the door, she sees a young boy taking in the doorway. She beckons him to enter and says, "Welcome to the tavern in the field of dreams, make yourself comfortable." Her face is still noticeably flush from talking to Ani.
Zissou perks a brow at the cat-person before him. It was strange to him that Ani wasn't freaking out at the sight of him, not unlike that of a normal cat reacting to a normal dog. |

"We do have a kitchen." Caionna answers, "I suppose we can whip up some ramen for you." She makes a gesture and the kitchen roars to life, creating Garin's request.
Turning to Adel, she nods and says, "Pleasure to make your acquaintance." She smirks and says, "Zarik might call you by your last name since it happens to be similar to the name of one of his friends on one of the planes we visit often." She says in reference to the Sinnoh gym leader. Zissou furrows his brow and says, "No problems here. Though, I do have a name by which I would much rather be addressed. My name is Zissou Angara." His tone isn't angry, just slightly perturbed. |

Caionna closes her eyes and shakes her head ever so slightly. Taking a seat at one of the tables, she politely says, "No. I'm not hungry right now."
Zissou just shrugs and walks back to the couch and picks up his book. He isn't sure what to make of this situation. |
