Oh god. I can't blame Portal 2 anymore, I'm just late. Hell-as late. A whole day late. I was doing nothing last night. I could have done this in my sleep. But I didn't. I know some people don't care all that much, but for those who do (those few of you... those... inconsequential few of you), I profusely apologize, and swiftly get on with it. I shan't even promise I'll be on time anymore because that promise has been broken thrice now.
The scene that made you cry the most.
Christopher Eccleston's first encounter with the terrible Daleks showcased just how terribly evil they truly were. Emerging from a torture chamber desperately seeking revenge, the (at the time, anyway) one Dalek soldier showed with horrifying efficiency how deadly it could be, wiping out (essentially) a whole base of security guards and armed soldiers with nothing more than a can-do spirit. ...and a laser beam. I guess.
But then something weird happened. As the Dalek approached the room in which the Doctor took refuge, the Doctor confronted the Dalek. He asked what its plan was, to which the Dalek replied, "I am a soldier. I was bred to receive orders." The Doctor, logically, came back at him with, "you won't get anymore orders. All the Daleks are dead. I killed them. You're the only one left." And for a brief moment, brief enough to matter, at least - you can visibly see an invisible tear roll down the Dalek's metal cheek. The following back-and-forth is significant in the canon of Eccleston's Doctor, but it is the first indication that the Dalek has even the slightest hint of emotion, as it realizes - and instantly rejects - its own fleeting redundancy in light of its species' annihilation, that is one of the most insignificantly touching moments in the series long history.
Otaku Challenge, Day 19
Most underrated character.
Let me get this straight. You have a wolf goddess than can turn into a furry's wet dream at the snap of a finger, who is for at least half of the show either half-naked or in instinctual heat, who goes around eating apples, brushing up against an unwilling male wingman and being basically the most teasing little flirt since... well, the invention of teasy flirting? You have to admit; considering what this saucy foxgirl brings to the table, it's outright weird that Horo isn't already plastering the entire internet with hentai-level DeviantArt porn. It's because Spice and Wolf is about economic instability beyond its initial unwilling romance subplot, isn't it.
Video Game Challenge, Day 19
Picture of a game setting you wish you lived in.
Now, yes - Rapture falls. Hard. Everyone drugs up and becomes inhuman monsters. Creatures designed for protecting the peace become Frankenstein monsters of sinister proportions. But, you have to admit; the idea of visiting and walking along the underwater halls of Rapture in its peaceful, un-drugged-up heyday, would be freaking amazing. Rapture is such a joy to see in-game - a beautiful city, torn down by tragic circumstances. Getting to live there, in the flesh? Would be worth every civil war in the world. I'd hope, anyway. I'd give up my life to spend five years in Rapture's luxurious art deco world. Probably. At the least - I would like to see it in person, then, you know... swim away very fast.
Tune in, like, in an hour or so for the Doctor Who character who is most like me, any yaoi/yuri pic (you're in for a treat), and my favourite videogame genre.
