All I'm wondering about Namco High is where hell are the Tekken, Soul Calibur, Tales, and Pac-Man characters?

My guess would be copyrighting issues. Either that, or the tried-but-true argument of "too easy"; they'd probably want to give lesser-known franchises some spotlights.

Also I sincerely hope that Donko/Dave Sprite becomes a thing in this fandom, right next to the ever-growing Terezi/Galaga Ship.

For Pac-Man at least, I'd say Disney's claws have dug in deep to the yellow ball. (what with their new cartoon and stuff on it)

Disney does not have any ownership on Namco's Mascot, they just air his cartoon on one of their channels.

Why would there be any copyright issues for the characters Namco own?

That makes a bit more sense, still if you want to make a Namco based-game, I would expect some more popular faces that people expect. It's like if Nintendo made a SSB without any Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon rep.

All I'm saying is Disney knows how to strong-arm.
Maybe they pushed for exclusivity for X months/years?
I mean, that's not unheard of.

^Maybe Disney are touchy on things they co-produce and/or own, like Kingdom Hearts, but Disney had nothing to with that Pac-Man show, period except like I said, they just air the show. And the show itself is nothing more than a 24-minute commercial to advertise the brand name to kids. Namco is free to make games featuring Pac-Man since that is their property. I mean a few Pac-Man games recently came out and a new Pac-Man compilation is being released next year.

ughhh im so mad tumblrs blocked on here I wanna see the new beta kid figurines (particularly since someone hinted at buying me one hoo hoo ha ha).

I like the new merch though I wont be buying any of htem any time soon. I'm kind of relieved though, because if one of the new prints featured wv prominently i'd just DIE. still hoping for those tarot cards.

I am a little disappointed at Davesprite, but he (as well as 'regular' Dave) is one of my favorite characters, with Dave actually being the first Homestuck character I was introduced too. Ahhh nostalgia.

Still, AR, though. AR. Ar.... Ar...................sobs

idk I read somewhere that the choosing of the characters had to do with Shifty Look(???) and their involvement nt he project.

I am a little bummed out about the lack of tales of characters, tho. I would love to have seen Lloyd Irving hang out with Terezi or the GALAGA SHIP.

Acutally I would love to see anyone hang out with the GALAGA SHIP.

My only sadness is that they had no Xenosaga characters.
Albeit, most of those wouldn't fit with a high-school setting.

Just glad they avoided IDOLMASTER stuff.

The Namco Shiftylook thing is based around giving less popular characters, or franchises that haven't been used in a while, a place to shine. Thus, currently popular franchises aren't on there.

oh my god whoever they are I am so proud of them. I hope u take good care of Derp. :))

I really hope the trading is different from B/W, tho. I keep trying to trade shit on the GTS, but everyone just keeps making outrageous demands. It frustrates me.

Yeah tho ugh I need to get in on the 3DS action.

I haven't resorted to GTS yet, that's for completists or people who really want one Pokemon right the fuck now. I just breed and breed the Pokemon I like and then put up the babies on Wonder Trade (the best addition to the series ever). Which brings in more cool Pokemon I want to breed. It's addictive.

As in, I've been playing the game almost every day since October and I still have only two badges.

Addictive

ahhh I see what you mean. yeah lmao I don't like the GTS at all, but since Im still playing lame ol' white 2 that's what I gotta settle with I guess.

I think I have over a hundred hours logged in that and I just got my fifth badge yesterday. god I am slow and addicted to evolving pokemon ig uess.

So I just started listening to Land of Fans and Music and was very displeased to find that 'Thought and Flow' was a remix of Hydrocity Zone.
Then again, I love Strife! with all its mini-quotes to videogame music.
Maybe I'm just a gigantic hypocrite when it comes to this stuff.

Edit: A lot of these songs are partial covers of works outside of Homestuck. At least most of them keep it to a quoted theme, which is wholly acceptable.
