Aether_Crash

this game never had one. im going to go cry now.

really, a thread like this cannot be done by me unless i talk about the two real characters that I fell in love with. My namesake, Aether Crash, and his friend/foe, Kinetic Impact.


Aether Crash originally was a joke character that i made because i thought itd be funny to make a tiny mexican construction worker imbued with the powers of an aboriginal lightning god. Eventually i actually gave the concept a chance, and Miguel actually grew into his own, became a character with loves and hates, a family, and eventually, friends. He never really came of much in the game itself, but outside of the game, in the character development portions, he became somewhat of an extra persona for me.

Soren Holst, Kinetic Impact, was my idea of "what if Aether Crash's good intentions backfired?" Miguel's former best friend would eventually see his family wiped out by arrogance and a need to over-extend oneself, to the point of losing control. To date i dont think ive ever made better characters than i did with Miguel and Soren. And it will be a shame to see them disappear.

i will miss all of you terribly. Except for Carmine Comet. i hope you live long enough to see 1300 days since last played.

i do not play a brute because i dont like their style. i prefer a bit more finesse than an all-go-no-quit-big-****-Harry-Stamper approach to combat. if i want to play something that can dish out punishment, id rather it be precision strikes than taking a sledgehammer to it. I also dislike the fact that the At basically punishes you for downtime.

first thing im doing when these launch is using one of my spare tokens for those boots. i love those boots so much, guys. Does the artist take sacks of chocolate money?

they hated on the delicious banana Laffy Taffy a lot =(

five episodes into Fate/Zero, and i can safely say this is my favorite series to come out since Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 in 2009. course, im absurdly biased (I love everything about the nasuverse, so all this in-universe discussion and character development is amazing, and im admittedly infatuated with Saber) but it actually is really good. Fate/Stay Night was massively flawed, but F/Z is looking to be one of the best if not the best series of the year.

im taking #12 way too literally methinks. the ham-fisted me sees time manipulation, the paragon store, and the invasion of Think Tank costume pieces =x

i just want a dinosaur mastermind =x

on second thought, can we have a motorcycle on a girder so i can make a tiny Titan/Stone Brute named Triassik?

Aether Crash and Kinetic Impact. wouldnt be sure on the archetypes theyd be, but Aether would be electric oriented, and Kinetic Impact would be Energy melee or Kinetic/Energy aura

hope theres a giant axe in there somewhere so i can actually have a brute concept id be happy with.

enjoyed the arc, the final boss was scary. He tore through Rock twice WITH sonic buffs, which is just absurd. eventually i locked him down and finished him off.


Thoughts on the story: less interesting to me than the first time around, mostly because numina felt sort of like an afterthought to the whole thing. The locales were great tho. im very glad we didnt have to go out further into the water during the final fight.


Thoughts on the arc as a whole: since they flat out stated that the means there were using wouldnt affect Numina, she probably wont die. probably a red herring, but who knows. I still stand by my stance that Manticore wont die, he's too pivotal to certain story arcs to eliminate without some hilariously goofy rewrites (Silos anyone?). overall, i still think itll be Positron or Statesman, because Citadel and Sister Psyche are too easily fixable and feel like giant cop-outs.

i wasnt around for old ET, but i will say one thing, from my own perspective. the power as it is now, specifically the sight/sound of it, helps my stalker feel "super", and thats what i really like about it. as long as new animation isnt touched, i'll be personally happy with whatever they do to help the set, if it happens.

my kingdom for Melee/Support

Battle Axe/Storm away! slot for knockback!

would definitely enter if i could opt out of the haircut =x

couldve sworn that guardian was the only server, i wonder where everyone's disappearing to =x

color me confused. i thought only VIPs could post on the forums, so whats the point in giving a VIP rank when thats all that will be posting?

my bane/huntsman is Executioner Adan. have been throwing around ideas for a fortunata, but nothing has stuck so far.

i preferred the shinkenger costumes meself, and i *loved* the villains in Shinkenger. it is my humble opinion that Chimatsuri Doukoku would be the pinnacle of cosplay, if someone had an out of control budget to use on molding plastics.

im looking forward to it. id like them to bring back Ron Wasserman to do the music for the Shinkenger-themed season, just to bring it full circle. I know when it airs next year on nick, ill be there.

Cross Game. Cross Game. What can i say about Cross game? Other than, well, its amazing.

Sure, its a sports series, and im not a fan of baseball, but i enjoyed every minute of it. The sports sections were realistic (no blowing up the dinosaurs, for example), i cant say enough about the characters, and the the more simplified art was a breath of fresh air compared to modern art styles. It was able to pull of both serious and comedic scenes well, and really, i cant recommend it enough.

most likely Kinetic Impact, one of my stalkers, because i expect to see him hit 50 before my namesake does.

Blueside: Controller (especially my earth/sonic)

Redside: Stalker (have like 5 of them)
