Interrogate Ranger (AMA)

Yeah, Suddenly the news was like quiet about it, Any in the newspapers or something bro?

I listen to the news every other morning, but I don't recall the last time I heard about any major advancement. Every time I hear about it, it's generally about whether that act or whatever should be invoked, that we should rehold the referendum due to the results not being as significant as needed.

What's the most you've ever felt happy for someone you personally know? And I mean really happy, like you were just beaming because you were so happy for them!

Unlike the others, I genuinely don't know the answer for this one and couldn't even try. I mean, my mother and father haven't tended to do things so above what they usually do that I would feel nothing but that which you've described, and while my younger sister constantly does better than me, that usually comes with...I guess envy that she's doing much better than I was at her age. And given none of my friends have been put in a situation which would end up with this situation...I actually don't think I've yet experienced what you've described.

That's sad.

Erm...try to not be an asshole? That's a general rule. Seems to work out most of the time.

Would you rather be tortured by GLaDOS, Jigsaw, or Junko?

Would you rather be tortured by GLaDOS, Jigsaw, or Junko?

Certainly not Jigsaw. He has a thing for causing physical pain in tremendous quantities, and while he's the only one with a definite way to escape from (as in, you survive his trap, you go free), I don't think I have it in me to survive. Out of the other two, I think I'd go with GLaDOS. As seen with Chell, it is possible to move about events so to escape, get her on your side, put her on a potato, etc. Junko's too smart, she always has no less than 5 backup plans. I'd feel despair long before I got a chance for freedom. Plus, GLaDOS is more amusing, and I get a portal gun. I'm not seeing many downsides.

How are you liking UDG so far?

[rangernumberx]

How are you liking UDG so far?

I have actually finished it, and how did I find it? Well, I guess I can only say it was disappointing. I can't do a 'So That Was' on it due to only seeing the plot-relevant cutscenes, but I found the whole thing very 'meh', even taking into account the genre change. I guess it's partly because the story isn't self contained. We can all agree that the first Danganronpa was it's own, single story, and the sequel, while it did have callbacks to the prior game, could stand on its own and it could be accepted if the series had ended there. But with UDG? The fact that you are completely required to have knowledge of the first game to fully enjoy this one is bad enough (I don't think that was quite the case with 2), but it doesn't even have completely its own story: It seems to be created just as a bridge between one and two, with the rest of the plot being just an excuse (nonsensical things such as the final boss pushes that thought process further). Even then, it didn't have any moments with the same impact as some of the ones from 1 and 2.

But I did enjoy some things...well, 5 things. The Warriors of Hope. I thought they were great ideas for villains with fleshed out backgrounds, and I just wanted to hug them and tell them how sorry I was whenever I found out about their backstory, and...I lied before, when I said none of the moments had the same impact. When we're told about the incident in which they met Junko? Man, THAT was impactful. Well, I say I want to profusely apologise to them for what happened...that doesn't apply to Monica. Monica can go f**k herself, in the way that only amazingly twisted villains can.

Also, ghosts are canon now? I mean, sure, the whole series has had some element of supernatural in it (Ultimate Clairvoyant, the magic circle Gundham made in what I assume is a generally realistic setting, arguably the fact that luck is a literal force, the fact the next game probably has the Ultimate Witch), but never as blatantly obvious as that.

They're in a virtual world, dingus.

So, you're gonna watch the anime now, right?

I know that, that's why I said generally.

Plus, unless directly acted upon by Monokuma for the likes of the 'funhouse' or Mechamaru, it seemed to follow by real world rules.

When I get a chance, I will.
