Follower Ranking Update – The Rise and Fall of Ylgyne

Kris Takahashi News 17 Comments

Sometimes you’ll meet someone and have immediate chemistry. You like the same crap. You finish each other’s sentences. In fact, you get along so well the textbooks list your Facebook pages as an example of a covalent bond. You think Sodium Chloride is impressive? You should see Jill and Steve.

Then there’s people in life you’re never going to get along with. No matter how hard you try to work with them there’s always gonna be this space, and in front of that space there’s a moat and a wall with crocodiles and gargoyles. It’s weird, it’s tense, and it’s awkward and it’ll never be anything but.

All this is to say it appears Ylgyne‘s foray into the top ten was short lived. He was ranked as high as #3 but IDONOTLIKEUSERNAMES dropped a #38 spot on him, and that’s an absolute anchor on your composite score. Like I said, with some people, you just never hit it off.

Here is some fan art via the Tumblr site made by Auriel’s Beau.  The first is from Brittany aka Dunmur aka someone full of awesome. It’s a simple sketch of Zora with the burn and the eyes colored in.

Here’s some doodles by MythologicalMayhem, requested by randombosmer. I’ve found Rumarin is the most popular NPC on Tumblr, although the rankings have Anum-La as the most liked overall because reasons.

The artists, man, those are my heroes. They are the candles in the darkness, keeping the night at bay.

Episode 1 – In Soviet Russia, Arstotska Glories You

Kris Takahashi Podcasts 14 Comments

I think I want to release a podcast every Wednesday to at least to give this blog a semblance of a schedule. Then again, it will depend on whether there’s enough content, but we got a lot of shows in the works so it shouldn’t be too difficult, including a news podcast with Will Handford (Skjel, Korrilan) and Ronja Monto.

In this episode, it is just me and Alice Bell talking about…we’ll say history? However, it does go off on tangents like GoT and Alice distaste of ocean loving adolescents. In fact, the only Beach she wants to see these Boys on is a deserted island. And for that matter, why they are called boys? They are clearly full grown beach men. If they lie about their age, who knows what else they’re hiding. We cannot be sure if they’ve even seen a beach.  By the way, these are all the stupid jokes that came to me hours after we recorded.

Anyways, this podcast is a show about history or something, I do not know. In this episode we review the pseudo-Soviet Russia border game, Papers Please. Next month we will probably cover something like Valiant Hearts or some other non-fiction game like Quantum of Solace.
