The only TV I really watch apart from the occasional news report is BBC Entertainment.

And sometimes Comedy Central, I guess. Stand up is fun.

Swedish stuff, especially drama shows, are hard to take seriously. Mostly because they're trying to ape American series, and it just doesn't go that well.
We can do pretty nice documentaries, though.

The Bridge was pretty nice, obviously not seen a lot from Sweden though. Oddly enough I think we are trying to appeal to the US audience, thinks like modern Doctor Who and Sherlock just don't seem English.

Oh hey, Kenzen Robo starts tomorrow. I love that the official site is like something out of the 90s.

The Bridge might work better for you because you don't have the same associations to the language. :P

Then again, maybe it'd work for me, too. There are plenty of Nordic crime/thriller things that are done really well. Which reminds me that I've only read the first book of Millennium series.

I don't think that is the case, if you like crime drama you should certainly at least like the first season. Second got a bit cray cray but it was still amusing. Didn't top much of the HBO stuff I've seen though.

Think I'll watch a Brit drama next, maybe Life on Mars.

I rather enjoy Fantasy and Sci-fi novels~♥

Also the occasional teen romance, recently finished "Living with Jackie Chan" by Jo Knowelles or something like that; really good book

I've made a list of everything that's airing and what I will definitely try to watch, what I will watch for a little bit, what I'll only watch if I hear good things about it, what I'll only watch if I hear REALLY good things about it, and what I'll probably be disregarding completely.

Then again, I'm also making some sort of elaborate plan about what roles my characters in Bravely Default should have, even though I have no idea what's to come. I just really seem to like planning.

...Oh god, jobs in bravely Default. There are so many things to consider that it's driving me mad.

Just remember, Edea is better as a Phys than a Mage.

Mahouka seemed interesting in Episode 1. Will pick up the Light Novel for more details. (Which I like)

I hear the main character is Gary Stu to the max and his sister wants to jump his bones. Seems like it'll be right up your alley.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Though the Bro-con stuff needs to be replaced with some BL and all will be good with the world.

Such banter aside I couldn't help but start nitpicking at the tropes that kept on popping up on the first episode. It's a fun game doing so. While it might have rubbed off here, there's no need to be all up in arms about it. As long as people enjoy what they see, what else is there to consider?

Though personally I think I might have just gotten tired of the typical shonen trope of a lowly apprentice climbing up the ranks through hard work and determination that I actually prefer gary stu's who are already done with such typical tripe.

Out of the shows that have come so far, it's the only one I've downloaded. Might be fun.

Edea and Tiz have been competing over my party's place as a tank (AKA knight with OP Bloody Shield). I'll probably make her a physical DPS, but the monk class is becoming really boring. Hopefully the Valkyrie class comes along soon.

Now to go back to training Agnes in the art of being a Red mage.

Edea as a Templar or Valkyrie is pretty good. Valkyries Cresent Moon is OP for leveling until Chapter 6.

I'd went with Tiz as a Mage and Ringabel as my DPS tho. Cuz Alternis lore and whatnot. I like keeping things semi-canon.

Currently (in the order of how I have them aligned in the menu),

Ringabel (favourite character) - Is my ranged DPS w/ Angel Bow, currently deciding whether to stick with Thief or Hunter as main job.
Edea (second favourite character) - Has been my tank for the majority of the game so far, currently just levelling her as a knight before I get my hands on Valkyrie. Has the Bloody Shield atm. Has plenty of sword magic.
Tiz (least favourite, bland) - Has been using him for his utility skills mostly, like Dungeon Master (also Gale Hairpin + Raid combo). Currently a knight with Sleep Sword and Blessed Shield (my main healing).
Agnes (she has nice hair) - Is just a mage in general, switching between white, black and red mage depending on what I'm feeling. Summoning is pretty fun too. Very defensive with her abilities, as I sort of want to keep her alive for support.

I love comedy

A lot of people find me funny by default, not really sure why

Agnes has been my main healer and support character throughout the game. Mostly running with White/Red Mage-Performer/Spiritmaster combo. And Tiz has been mostly Offensive Mage with Arcanist/Black Mage. It worked well for my tastes but its not the most efficient combo. But I have my own likes so LOL.

Ringabel on the other hand was a Dark Knight/Monk. Phoenix Flight and Minus whatever was a great combo.

Luckily, there are no wrong ways to play this game. :D

...

"You joined for ROM Hacking, didn't you, Pokestick, good times.?"
Y-yes.

"Pokestick, good times. comes from a land down under"
Okay, no, THAT'S a filthy lie.

When you're trying to create a serious future scenario, one would hope you'd at least put some effort into it.

+ analytic, confident protagonist
+ production values are pretty great (sound direction especially)
+ decent implementation of magic

- world building so far is crap (sci-fi elements could be better, too)
- typical light novel-style girls show up from nowhere and want the D
- high school setting and conflicts for the sake of conflict

I can get into this.

"The Federal Republic of Soviet"

Good ol' grammar at its best.

Also, how is it that they have all of the unions and alliances...and then Japan?
