Summon giant frog?

King Dorephan = Boss Nass?
Nov. 22nd, 2020 08:54 pmIs it just me, or does King Dorephan from Hyrule Warriors: Calamity remind anyone else of Boss Nass from Star Wars: Episode 1? I was slightly disappointed that Dorephan wasn't voiced by Brian Blessed.
( Pictures! )
And while I'm at it, did the mini-guardian remind anyone else of The Clangers and the way they talked with swanee whistles?

More Hyrule Warriors silliness
Jun. 21st, 2015 10:16 pmThe ultimate humiliation:
Somehow I'd managed to knock the Darknut down to only a couple of hitpoints, sending it flying into a clump of my foot soldiers. One of 'em then took a quick swipe at it with the result above. Don't underestimate the cannon fodder in Hyrule Warriors... they can and will deal damage, which while small can still be deadly.
Later on, in a different mission (but on the same map - this does get rather repetitive after a bit), the game designers decided to play with the traditional character roles...
The enemy commander, by the way, was Zelda, while on my team Ghirahim was in charge. Sword spirits versus Triforce perhaps?

Jun. 20th, 2015 10:18 pmI declare this to be most unfair:
For those of you who don't play Hyrule Warriors (probably almost my entire flist), to get an A-rank one needs something like 1000 or so KOs, a reasonably low amount of damage taken, and to complete the battle within 15 minutes. Not 15 minutes and 1 second.
Still, I have to admit I wasn't expecting to get an A-rank given that I'd only just unlocked Ruto... but I was expecting to fail on damage and/or KOs, not by just taking a smidgen too long.

Jun. 20th, 2015 06:20 pmBeen playing some more Hyrule Warriors recently, because I want to unlock at least some of the stuff in it. And what should appear during one mission but this comment from Ghirahim, who's supposedly on my team...
Of course, he then came to his senses, turned traitor, and tried ineffectually to attack me (playing as Impa, because one of her combos is epically overpowered against giant bosses). I just ignored him instead and splatted the Dodongos. I'm not sure his pride will ever recover.
Speaking of overpowered combos, I stumbled across another trick. Some missions in Adventure Mode where "all attacks are devastating" - this is essentially InstaGib mode. Previously I've just waded in and relied on the fact that the player can actually survive one hit, but this time I had a go at taking pot-shots with the bow. Normally the bow is only useful against very specific enemies, but it still does a little damage... which in InstaGib mode is enough to churn through vast hordes of enemy captains while staying out of range of them.

A competent AI?
Dec. 11th, 2014 09:04 pmThe AI was unusually competent in Hyrule Warriors the other day. While I (playing as Midna) was bogged down dealing with an opposing Sheik, a mere Hylian Captain handily defeated another enemy that I hadn't even realised was around:
So I left Sheik alone and went off in search of keeps to conquer. This worked out well:
It makes a very pleasant change when your AI allies can be trusted to fend for themselves.

Today's nifty feature discovery is that the WiiU can take and upload screenshots. The nifty part is that you don't actually need Nintendo's tool to do so, nor is it limited to Facebook/Tumblr/Twitter.
Instead all you need to do is point the built-in web browser at the upload website of your choice, and when you browse for a file on the WiiU you get given a choice of the main screen or the gamepad screen. Pick one, and the WiiU uploads a JPEG of it. Simples!
This leads me to today's Hyrule Warriors question, which who is this and where (if anywhere) is the person in the middle from:
