Where do I even begin with Nun Attack? I guess first and foremost I should mention the story. The game is set in a world where prayers are no longer answered and evil is running rampant. Apparently the only solution to this problem is for a group of nuns to start packing heat and busting caps in a search of a former sister who has turned against them. This is kind of an entertaining premise for a game and I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek nature of it, so things are setup nicely for a fun experience….
Because if you’re going to use DRM, you might as well have a sense of humor about it.

Otherwise known as “Places I’d like to go photoshooting”.
8-years ago, CHP Officer Kevin Briggs talked this young man out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.
That young man’s name is Kevin Berthia.
Today he is 30 years old and married with 2 children.
This week he presented Officer Briggs with an award on behalf of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
The story of how Officer Briggs talked Kevin down is remarkable.
As you can see in the picture, Kevin is literally one step away from jumping to his death. But for more than hour, the officer listened to Kevin pour his heart out about his troubles and told him, “I know you think things are bad, but they can get better.”
Kevin says, “Officer Briggs never made me feel guilty for the situation I was in. He made feel like, I understand why you are here, but there are alternatives”
Kevin is just one of countless lives Briggs has saved over his 23 year career.
Briggs, who was promoted to Sergeant five years ago, is humble about what he does. He says, ”they make the decision, when they step back over that rail it takes a tremendous amount of courage”
I salute Sergeant Briggs!

THIS IS ADORABLE
ok i think this was supposed to be cute but there was legit fear in my soul when they mentioned a spider galloping towards me
It’s galloping towards you for FRIENDSHIP? It’s cute dont h8
OH HELL NO
Idc how friendly or useful he is he will be squished under my shoe in a /friendly/ way
it literally wont harm you. you don’t need to kill every damn creature that looks scary to you, ok. granted its as big as a hand which would make me very weary, but dont have to stomp on the poor lil dude like dang.
dude this spider is cool what the hell
like i understand people’s fear of spiders but most homedwellers literally just wanna eat your bugs and chill out in corners out of your way and the only difference with this one is that he’s willing to go out of his way to kill your other bugs
that’s not a spider
that’s a small pet that you give scritches
ok yeah this little guy seems cool and all but some people just have phobias aight like
just because you tell someone thunder or deep water isn’t going to hurt them that doesn’t mean that they’re just gonna stop being afraid of thunder or deep water
shit i don’t care if this spider presented me with flowers and a copy of Majora’s Mask i would still be fucking terrified of it and my fight-or-flight instinct would most def take over
stop condescending to people who have phobias of shit like this okay if you think this spider’s adorable and want to have like 12 of them that’s fucking awesome but good luck getting me to come to your house
i don’t think anyone’s necessarily saying “stop being afraid of spiders,” just pointing out how what seems big and scary is actually surprisingly docile toward humans
and trust me i had some nasty arachnophobia growing up because my hometown had a bunch of different kinds of spiders all over the place and my mom really enjoyed watching shows that talked about shit that could kill you pretty frequently (and guess what black widows were pretty high on the list and— i can actually barely bring myself to remember it)
but one of the ways to help deal with phobia is by casting things in a new light with cool information
and the cool thing is this thing seems to be totally legit from what i can tell, they don’t even lay eggs inside homes, so you don’t have to worry about the obvious problem with that
phobias are difficult to get over, to put it as almost offensively simply as possible, but good information for people who want to try to learn more about something they fear is still handy to have on hand
no no, you see how we get over phobias is to never, ever talk about them and never ever deal with them. they will go away on their own, you see.
I think that this spider would still freak me the fuck out but I could eventually power through it and be friendly.
I’d be creeped out but I believe in capture/release in most living things.
Fuck that noise. Squish!
Have you not had enough of staring at the…unique…art of Dragon’s Crown? Well, you have the chance to stare at the disproportionate figures of the Witch and Amazon without that pesky need of having your Vita, Playstation 3, or any device capable of connecting to the internet. Atlus is giving a 64 page, softcover artbook to fans that preorder (which you pick upon release, if the Gamestop employees haven’t kept them for themselves, that is) Dragon’s Crown for either the Vita or PS3. You’ll get art of the characters (dat ass) and environments, along with notes from the artist, George Kamitani, who also happens to be the president of Vanillaware, the development studio behind the game….
