I've noticed this is a trend whenever the series is pushed to game 3, Peyz and Keria decides to go Ziggs/Mel and Pyke/Camille as their bot comp. I get that it's a lane domination thing, but why always game 3? Why don't they do that for game 1 and 2? The casters mentioned Mel is insane against Ashe/Sera which is always a must pick in the meta currently
So I just finished both the base game AND the DLC I noticed some references to other fairytale stories besides Pinnochio
The first and most obvious one is the character Belle. She is literally named BELLE and her story is that she has a lover who is transformed into a beast. It's Beauty and the Beast
Then there is the portrait of Carlo, It changes the more you lie. Geppetto also straight up said the artist of the portrait is named "D.Gray". It's "The picture of Dorian Gray"
In Overture, Krat Zoo was established by a man named "Colonel Little". This has to be a reference to "The Adventures of Dr. Dolittle", a zoologist that has the ability to understand all animals
This one might be the weakest one, but I'm pretty sure Salo and the giant shark he fights to the death has to bea reference to Captain Ahab vs Moby Dick. Both were very obsessed trying to kill a giant sea creature and their obsession gets them killed
Winry Rockbell - Fullmetal Alchemist
Lily Artemis II - Stellar Blade
Eugenie - Lies of P
It's really cool to see how my taste in video games changed over time as I grew up
Pops - Regular Show: Pops is the adoptive son of Mr. Maellard, an extremely rich man who runs a giant park. Becuase of that Pops has lived a naive and privileged life, but it never spoiled him. He is extremely kind, respectful, and positive thinking to all his friends and only wants the best for everyone
Bruce Wayne/Batman: A child of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Bruce was born into privilege, but loses both his parents to crime in Gotham, since then he dedicates his life and wealth to fight crime in Gotham both as Batman and Bruce Wayne
Lorenzini Vignini - Lies of P: Hilariously, Vegnini shares the exact same story as Bruce Wayne. He's the son of one of the richest families of Krat, but he witnesses both hjs parents being murdered by a serial killer puppet. Since then, he is raised by his butler and dedicates his life to better the life for the citizens of Krat. He is selfless, kind, and charming in his innocence to want to do good
William Cage - Edge of Tomorrow
Pinnochio - Lies of P
Jack Sparrow - Pirates of the Carribean
Tired of the old "Revenge bad" trope. Got any more examples of where the MC seeks revenge and the narrative encourages it?
Kill Bill - The Bride was a former assassin who gets betrayed by her former gang. She survives and makes it her life mission to track down and every member and kill them
Khazan the First Berserker - Khazan was the greatest military general of the Pell Los empire, but his king out of nowhere betrays and imprisons him, has his men slaughtered, tortures and permanently cripples him. Near death, he is approached by this world's Devil, and makes a deal with him to get revenge on everyone who wronged him. His injuries are fully healed and he gains demonic powers and superstrength
John Wick - They killed his dog. Nuff said
This year, next year, or possibly later?
Besides all the same names and the whole theme of being human, Lies of P has very little similarities with the original Pinnochio tale. Do you hope Lies of Oz is the same with just same names and nothing more? Also do you think we will still play as P or Dorothy?
The OG Excalibur
The Master Sword - Legend of Zelda
Blackfyre - ASOIAF
The Darksaber - Star Wars, specifically for all Mandalorians
Hello, I have run out of games to play so I'm back to having my sights on Stellar Blade. I put it in my backlog back in 2024, hopeful for a sales drop in the future , but after 2 years, there still hasn't been one or I possibly missed it. Do you think the game is still worth it at full price in 2026 or do you recommend I hold back and keep waiting?
Wasn't he supposed to start coaching now that it's round 2?
Jon Arryn - ASOIAF/ Game of Thrones
Jon Arryn investigate behind the scenes of Robert's children and finds out all 3 are Cersei's bastards born from incest and all are illegitimate to the iron throne. Before he can tell anyone, he is mysteriously poisoned
Detective Kerry - Saw
This can go to alot of detectives in the Saw franchise, but Kerry deserved so much better than what she got. She was so close to deducing Kramer as Jigsaw, and due to that she became their next target and was killed despite persevering through the torture
Team Victory - Total Drama
Ok they weren't killed off, but they were eliminated from the game so close enough. All of them besides Ezekiel were manipulated by Alejandro one way or another to losing every single challenge causing the whole team to collapse and not a single one made it to the merge. Those who did figure out Alejandro used them were pushed off the plane before they could speak up
