Tron: Legacy- I'm kinda curious is Mara supposed to be Beck's love interest, or are they doing a Ron and Hermione thing with her and Zed? Or is it that she and Zed have been spending more time together simply because Beck is too busy with Tron stuff?
It is odd they're getting so many celebrities to do voice work- I mean, its fine for celebs with recognizable voices like Lance Reddick, but its not like I recognize Kate Mara's voice, and you don't actually get to see her hotness (BTW, Kate is still the hotter Mara sister, way hotter than Rooney) since this is a cartoon. I mean, its fine for Mandy Moore and Emmanuelle Chriqui, because Mandy Moore has such a sweet voice, and Emmanuelle Chriqui has a sexy one. But like I said, I couldn't tell Kate Mara from some random.
Legend of Korra- Huh, I guess the hour long season finale is next week. It actually has been 10 episodes so far, so next week makes 12. Which seems standard, but the season seemed to fly by. ( spoiler cut )
WO blather- I keep forgetting to mention, one of my favorite things about the game is the mixing and matching of the characters from DW and SW and the interactions. I guess part of it is having characters server cooler people- like I love Mitsunari being thrown in the mix with Cao Pi and Zhen Ji in a kinda weird who has his back more, his wife or his right hand. Its cooler to see Mistunari be Cao Pi's lieutenant rather than that monkey. Also, I like Hanzo being like Zhuge Liang's hand, it just seems appropriate somehow. Zhuge Liang is such a brilliant schemer, and it would suit him to have someone as skilled as Hanzo to carry out his will. Heh, I'm still curious why Guan Ping is so intent on serving Nobunaga though. Is it just because Oda saved him in the first game, and he feels he owes him? It is kinda interesting to see Guan Yu's son, someone who you'd expect to be this powerful warrior for the "good guys" serving the self proclaimed "demon king".
Magoichi trying to get in Joan of Arc's pants is kinda weird though- there is this funny line of dialogue where he basically remarks to himself after conversing with her that she's too chaste and pure and would never succumb to his advances. I do like the addition of Achilles, as he seems more an appropriate rival for Lu Bu. In the first one Keiji and Lu Bu both served Orochi as his ultimate bad-asses. There wasn't really a rivalry there, Lu Bu just like killing things and being the best, whereas Keiji just like causing chaos and carnage. They didn't really have cause to prove who was better, because there was no shortage of people to cut down. As for Honda, he seemed above any sort of competition to see who was better, himself or Lu Bu. Tadakatsu is just not the kinda guy to feel the need to prove himself. Achilles and Lu Bu have this kinda strained thing going on, like barely restrained contempt and anger for each other. Like once they defeat the hydra, they're going to tear each other apart to prove who's the greatest.
Also weird is how the Japanese and English voice acting can make a character seem totally different. I mean, take Guo Huai. He's a sickly guy, and in English he just seems grim and soft-spoken. But his Japanese voice acting makes him seem very... fey? I've been playing Rescue at Yi Ling a lot for grinding, and at some point he does this very creepy laugh, one that I would totally find weird if the English version laughed like that.
