Ask the mods anything

@Background Pony #91Z0  
I am :3

Why does anime usually not wait until the manga finishes? It seems from a purely creative stand point that that would be the best thing to do as fillers and extre long episodes wouldn’t be as necessary. I guess this question can apply to Game of Thrones books and series.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
Money. I mean isn’t this obvious? And then time especially years long series like Naruto which for manga run from 1997-2015, so if they want to wait for the manga to finished first well, they have to wait for almost 2 decades first.

Why don’t police use dirt bikes?

I guess I’ll ask here.  
Question: does a fanmade Nightmare form for a canon Alicorn (such as Cadence) count as an OC?

What if Starlight, Ember and Gilda formed a trio?

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
That would be one super sexy trio.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
Money of course :P

Can someone please fix this image’s size so I can use it as an avatar?? (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ  
 
What did equal to 300000 meant again?

Stupid specifications

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
Have the staff deleted it? I think it has been deleted by now.

@Jaredking203  
Huh?

@Takengrin Endmmar: Taken God King of Fear  
About the image you posted in the first comment. Did they deleted it or not is what I was asking.

@Jaredking203  
Oh naw xd

Worst boss battle you have encountered in a video game?

@icey wicey 1517  

 
I second to ask that as well

@icey wicey 1517  
Bed of Chaos, Dark Souls 1.

Descent (1995) the final boss was a real SOB.
 
Impervious to any kind of attack, except for one small spot on its back.
 
Just try to not lose your lunch. HA HA pointless. I mean, it was a blast and great fun, but you almost had to give up any hope of a functioning inner ear by the time you were done.

@icey wicey 1517  
Literally the camera in the first Harry Potter game. It’s the size of a freight train and a physical object that can get stuck on trees.
 
Robotnik from sonic 2.
 
Biolizard part I and II from sonic adventure 2.
 
I swear I don’t even play that many sonic games.

(I don’t want to disparage your post, it’s just somewhat inaccurate.)
 
You’re talking about Descent 2’s level 24 boss. He has a glowing spot on his back that’s the only vulnerable spot. Descent 1’s level 27 boss has no such thing, he’s just otherwise really tough and hard to beat due to the extremely limited space you have in the boss room (you can see that clearly on the video you linked), and because he can spawn other robots to attack you, and because he (like all final bosses) can single-hit kill you on almost all skill levels.
 
Despite of this, I think Descent 1’s level 7 boss is harder. Because you’re locked in the (significantly larger) room with him and because it’s so early in the game, you don’t have any powerful weapons yet. Plain homing missiles and level 4 quad lasers are the best you can have at that point and they barely scratch his paint. Level 27 does not lock you in the room and you have the most powerful weapons at your disposal, so you can take potshots through the door and essentially cheese the fight that way. Plus you can carry extra cloaking devices and invulnerability powerups with you into the boss room. No such luxuries are possible on level 7.
 
Descent 2 introduced bosses that are vulnerable to only one type of weapon (energy vs. matter). Level 20 and 24 bosses are only vulnerable to matter attacks (ie. missiles) so firing your lasers at them is pointless.
 
^{(Source: Descent 1 and 2 source code. I’ve read them. And I’ve played the games too many times.)}

@JP  
Ah, I clearly got them confused. After Doom, Descent and Duke Nukem used to be what we did waiting for compiles to finish at work. Lots and lots of late nights exploring those tunnels and sniping each other every chance we got.
 
Quake Arena really replaced all of those, though. It kind of had everything we were looking for.

Mods, what isn’t allowed in the vent thread in terms of expressing anger towards a depressing/dark situation?

Does anyone use something else besides here as admin or mod?

@Background Pony #91Z0  
Huh?

@CaptainXtra  
Don’t be a dick, simple as that. This thread is not meant to ask site and policy questions though.
 
@Background Pony #91Z0  
I um, what?
