  1. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    True, as it is though the best example we've had of Nanase and Tedd's resemblance was during the Hair storyline after Tedd had used the watch to shorten his hair. And while it's true that we haven't seen Edward without glasses, Tedd's eyes, while maybe not as slanted as Nanase's, are still oval shaped it would seem Tedd gets his androgynous appearance from his mother. My brother used to always be compared with our cousin on my mom's side of the family, despite being like 15 years age difference and the fact that our cousin is female. Meanwhile, on my dad's side of the family, if you were to look at my grandmother, her youngest daughter (my aunt) and my aunt's daughter, you'd think you were looking at the exact same person at different points of her life. I thought about that as well, but I wasn't sure if anyone would call me out saying that's not how genetics works. I mean it makes total sense from an EGS standpoint in that Dan would have wanted to make it clear that Tedd was Edward and Noriko's offspring, Nanase being a natural redhead would suggest that red hair runs in the family, Although this sketchbook, if you disregard the gender bending, show's Nanase's dad being a redhead... so I dunno.
  2. Things You Only Noticed On Reread

    Considering how Tedd and Nanase look so much alike , there isn't really anything that stands out for Tedd that says "I'm Edward's son", it's possible that Noriko and Mama Kitsune's family line has some pretty strong genetics which is probably how their magic is passed down from generation to generation so Noriko's genes could likely be more dominant than Edwards at least in terms of appearance, Edward's genetics and Noriko's in terms of magic potential are likely a different story. So as far as an answer to the question of looks? "That's apparently just how it is with my family"

    I thought it was Ellen too because she's on several occasions said Tedd was cute and sexy. But then I remembered Elliot did say he loved Tedd in a "Frodo and Sam" sort of way, so that probably counts.

    It's still early to tell what Blizzard has planned, there may be new characters, maps and game modes added later on, but yeah, while LoL is free to play with Riot making their money from people buying new champions and such, Blizzard went the other way with selling the game and giving everyone access to the characters and making buying loot boxes optional. Some people are fine with having limited choice with champion rotations as it keeps them on their toes learning how to play them. Some people like to be able to switch to whatever they're comfortable with.

    It makes it dynamic. What makes it strange though is the fact that you can have an entire team of the same character which can either be amusing or frustrating.
  6. NP: Monday, June 13, 2016

    Games like CoH allow the player to create an avatar with whatever personality you want to give them. Overwatch supplies unique characters that have their own personality and story. I guess if there's one gripe I might have about the game, it's that it has all this backstory of where the characters come from and what happened to the world, but there's no real explanation for why they're fighting now.
  7. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    Possibly, but we're talking about parallel universes where a person is faced with choices and each choice is reflected in that universe so in Ellen's second life, her counterpart chose to give in to lust, when Ellen was talking to Elliot about their shared memories of Sarah, Ellen said that "we always cared more about not jeopardizing the friendship by giving into the lustful feelings of a lifelong friend". In the second round of Ellen's second life dreams, we see her taking a strong interest in Archie, but it seem more like a one sided physical attraction, you can see Ellen's watching him from a distance so I'd say Ellen had the beginnings of a crush on Archie. The third round of dreams, it's clear that Ellen and Archie have some degree of friendship, and Ellen's made her move and asked him out. Now we don't know exactly how Ellen went about doing that, but I'm willing to bet she tried to be sexy and Archie being not interested in that kind of relationship, turned her down. When Tedd explained how Archie might be just into cuddling, Ellen went back and likely apologized for her earlier behaviour and asked again with the promise that they didn't have to take it that far. Later on in high school, she started feeling that she wasn't satisfied with just cuddling, which eventually led her to pressuring Archie into having sex with her. Afterwards Archie felt what happened was wrong and broke up with Ellen, who then felt guilty about the whole thing and apologized, and her and Archie were able to remain friends.

    I can see where howdy would have started off as "how do you do?" then getting shortened to "howdya do?" then again to "howdy?".

    The question is though, did his parents bring him over to this half? or did one parent come over, and mate with one from this side. Noah is Seyunolu after all and as far as we know, which I'll admit is still very little, Uryuoms likely don't exist on the griffins side. And then there's still the question of how Damien fits.
  10. NP Wednesday June 15, 2016

    Yeah Dan tweeted before uploading "complaining" that the character costumes were very detailed, but I think he did a great job. Grace-Mei is adorable as well.
  11. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    There's something....funny...about this post. Can't quite put my finger on it.
  12. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    The way Ellen described it, her second life counterpart was more interested in a physical relationship, while Archie was more into mental connections and cuddling. That's why it was doomed from the start. I think if we were to draw parallels here, what Ellen and Archie did would basically have been what could have happened with Elliot and Sarah but Elliot was afraid of giving into lust with Sarah because of not only the possibility of getting Sarah pregnant at a young age (like what happened with his mom) but also the possibility of ruining their friendship. Ellen's second life counterpart thankfully regretted her descisions and so her and Archie were able to remain friends. Yeah, I can talk about possibilities and such in regards to this but I'll admit Dan's been very vague about whether Grace and Tedd gone that far. It's canon that Grace can't get pregnant in her half squirrel form so it's really a matter of whether Grace wanted to or not, I think we know Tedd's answer if asked though. Yeah, but her relationship with Tedd allowed her to suggest doing a search like that, she didn't try that with Justin and likely wouldn't with Rhoda and Catalina, though I'm sure she wouldn't be opposed to it if they asked her to help look.
  13. Story Friday, June 10, 2016

    I imagine it's a cycle, I think we're currently in another transistion period between CCGs and tabletop RPGs. Sure it seems like CCGs are still going strong, but with all the new online CCGs like Hearthstone, Elder Scrolls: Legends, heck even Runescape has a CCG now. It seems like every major IP get getting a CCG version these days that it may get to a point of saturation. At the same time though, Geek and Sundry's "Critical Role" seems to have ignited new interest in tabletop style RPGs because we now have RPG streams like itmejp's "Roll Play", the Yogscast's "High Rollers" and the Buffalo Wizards' "Unforgotten Realms Live"
  14. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    Yeah that one I think was what really got the OT3 ship going, problem is there's no commentary for it so I don't know if that's a patron request or a milestone sketchbook. If it was a milestone sketchbook then it was Dan's idea to draw it and it could be considered canon (maybe?), if it was a request then of course it's highly unlikely to be canon, then again Dan's willingness to fuel that ship, well, he doesn't seem opposed to the idea of the three of them being close. As for the "sooo, you think Tedd's cute?" line, it was in the MV5 NP story which was stated to be canon and while Dan never gave a precise timeframe that it occurred in, several moments in the comic could only really exist between Sarah and Elliot's breakup and the card tournament, like Sarah's reaction to Ellen stating she's like a sister to her, as well as Tedd's hairstyle at the end. Yeah we don't know everything about Archie, but what we did see suggests that Archie was more interested in a non sexual relationship which is why his relationship with second life Ellen failed. Grace may also not be interested in actual sex at the moment or her and Tedd agreed to wait, but she's certainly more romantically active than what was suggested with Archie, her and Tedd kiss frequently, they swap forms with each other, I'm not sure if she would strip search anyone of the other main characters looking for magic marks like she did with Tedd, but I doubt anyone else would care for it.
  15. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    Completely understandable, but it still seems like Grace considers Sarah as more than that. Though I also said a while back that Grace's current behaviour towards Sarah, the initial clinginess after hearing about the breakup, the stuff during MV5, the interactions with Tedd at the tournament, Grace probably just wanted to make sure Sarah didn't feel alone. Grace likely understands that Sarah may find someone else to be with eventually, but for the time being Sarah's welcome with her and Tedd.
  16. Story Tuesday, June 14, 2016

    Well, while Sarah and Tedd may not openly tell people how they feel about each other, Sarah has admitted to thinking Tedd is cute which Grace took interest of. Both Tedd and Sarah are also aware that their interactions together might make people think they're a couple. And then there's Grace being clingy to both Tedd and Sarah, I know it's possible Grace would have done the same to Elliot and mayyyyyyybe Susan if either of them were sitting in Sarah's spot (Susan might have objected to being clung more agressively), if we look back at Grace and Sarah's history: Sarah was the first female of the group that Grace met Sarah wasn't afraid of Grace the first time Grace transformed in front of her They've both teased Tedd about doing sexy things together on at least a couple occasions. I think Grace cares about Sarah a lot and while there may not be anything sexual about the relationship, Grace seems perfectly okay with how close Tedd and Sarah have gotten over the past "year", the 3 of them have cuddled/tickled each other, seen each other naked on several occassions, and even kissed each other. Polyamory doesn't have to be about sex with multple partners, but being physically close to them. We've seen Grace refer to Ellen as a sister, and Nanase might as well be a cousin to her as well. Not sure about Susan but I don't believe Grace thinks of her as anything beyond being a good friend. But as far as Sarah goes, Grace hasn't directly stated how close a friend Sarah is, but the actions I've listed suggest that it's as close if not almost as close as her own relationship with Tedd, its certainly closer than anyone of the others.

    I waited till 12:30am EST before I couldn't stay awake. Also, I'm preeeeetty certain this does nothing to sink the OT3 ship.

    The bird's name is Ganymede and is really just a cosmetic feature. Various skins will use a different bird, one has a Blue Jay, another a Cardinal for instance. Victory poses, emotes and highlight intros feature the bird as well. If you want an actual functional companion pet, Mei is the one you're looking for, her's is part of her ultimate ability.

    During late beta and after release, people were griping about all Bastion players had to do to get player of the game was plant themselves near the enemy spawn room and mow enemy players down as they left. I ran into that situation a couple times myself.
  20. NP: Monday, June 13, 2016

    Based on reasonable conclusions derived from fair observation or because people felt like it? Yes, it's a fan made video, but it's a good one. Anyway for the comic, I like D.Va, the Meka is funky looking, but fun, I've only managed to pull off a multi-kill with the "initiate jump jet and self destruct" maneuver a couple times to great effect (not enough for play of the game though), I've also used McCree a few time, the secondary attack is nice if you have a steady shot but the reload is slow, High Noon is best used up close and in the open. It's tough to build up your ultimate sometimes and then try to get into a position to use it.

    Ehhh..all that is, is chibi-Tedd doing the Jigglypuff song. I don't see how that would still count. We at least have an Ashley Mareep.
  23. Story Friday, June 10, 2016

    And now I'm wondering why no one has asked Dan to draw an actual Cyndaquil/Quilava Justin, Jiggly-puff Tedd, or Sentret Grace.
  24. Things That Make You Happy

    Have watched Warcraft and honestly enjoyed it, it's definitely a movie that fans of the franchise would get, if you've never played a Warcraft game or read any of the lore behind it. You might feel like it rushes you through the first part without really introducing people, aside from Khadgar, Garona and Lothar that is you do get some more out of them as the movie progresses. When they bring in Medivh, they basically say "he's the guardian", but only fans would know what that means, and while the movie doesn't shot for shot follow the existing lore, the changes were actually pretty minimal in the grand scheme of things, all the main plot points were left largely intact. Visually it was amazing, I watch it in IMAX 3D and while the glasses are awkward with having to wear them over glasses, as long as I didn't tilt my head a certain way I didn't feel nauseous. It also left it wide open for a sequel which considering the lore, would have to happen as this movie basically covered "The First War", we still have "The Second War" which if Blizzard and Legendary stick with the formula they had with this movie, the second should be just as good, and we'll get to see more Dwarves, Elves, Gnomes and AOEs.
  25. NP Friday June 10, 2016

    I think Catalina would like Warcraft. Diane would also like the Gryphon, the rest of the movie, again it really would depend on if she does secretly play the games.
