Two videos showcasing the special attack and spell sequences in the game. A Blazing Knuckle that hits for 223,457 total damage? Totally awesome, dood.

ArenaNet hates you.
“My husband was banned this morning for 72 hours for breach of EULA… one hour after finally getting ‘God Amongst Mere Mortals’ on his mesmer …”
Okay, ArenaNet doesn’t hate you.
“… a few players moving large amounts of gold between accounts through the help of a friend have found themselves blocked.”

I’m closing in on the end of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness‘s main storyline. I’m not just enjoying playing the game, I’m consuming it greedily. As I mentioned before, it’s been far too long a time since I’ve had a turn-based strategy game that hits all the right notes for me as this one does.
As I also mentioned previously, the game is not excessively difficult and in fact, is quite lenient in many respects. Character deaths in battles aren’t punished severely as a visit to the Netherworld Hospital will return a fallen character to full strength. There will, of course, be Hell to pay. (Hell being the currency of the Netherworld.)
On the other hand, a party wipeout will result in a Game Over screen. There’s one really tough fight which occurs early on at a point when your characters are fragile and lack offensive power — lose this one and you’ll get a credit sequence with a full song — but the game shouldn’t prove to be too frustrating.
At least until you get to Episode 11.

The Fangirl Project.
“The Fangirl Project is part photo book, part video documentary and all labor of love.”
Anagrammed games.
Who wouldn’t want to play Math Nun 2?
Makai Senki Disgaea.
The first episode of the Disgaea anime. I’d strongly recommend staying away from the anime if you haven’t played the first nine chapters of the game and would rather not be spoiled.

Wedding cake toppers ranked pretty highly on the list of things I couldn’t care any less about before I learned about the work of McDevitt Studio‘s Troy McDevitt.
He sculpts extraordinary custom cake toppers that radiate character and style. McDevitt works from photos and uses 99 cent acrylic paint, Super Sculpey and Toxicmom Studio wax for these mini-masterpieces.
Cake toppers are his bread and butter — on average he does three a month — but he’s also done some limited-run fantasy kits based on his incredible sculptures.
His work has attracted customers around the world and even caught the eye of celebrities.
McDevitt says, “I’ve probably been sculpting for maybe 6 or 7 years now. I figure in another 20 years I’ll be happy with the way my stuff looks.” I figure in 20 years our heads will all explode. No mortal man will be able to handle that degree of sheer awesomeness.
