No Game, No Life #05 — Oh Boy! Rock Paper Scissors Again!

May 7th, 2014

  

At least it was only in a montage.

Impressions:

Another brainless ‘humor’ episode that was primarily Steph shouting. It did gave time to think about what might be the saddest part of this show, and once you start thinking, there are a lot of competing things. There’s the siblings immediately stripping every man to their birthday suits, but the females lose only a single piece of clothing at a time which they then wear like trophies. Or maybe it’s how they thought that blackjack and decks of cards are such a complicated concept that they needed to be explained, never mind that counting cards is cheating in any respectable place too. Or maybe it’s that they are so devoid of ideas, that they couldn’t even think up fiveish new ‘games’ this week and so had to recycle rock paper scissors for the montage.

Whichever it is, nothing happened. They wandered around making fun of Steph for her stupidity, but said stupidity was still primarily based on their infallibility and absolute knowledge of everything around them. It’s not particularly convincing, and with just a slight shift, say, having them pick the ‘games’ instead of her, they’d go straight from the super awesome perfect genius children, to basically jackasses taking constant advantage of an idiot, because framed only slightly differently, they’re basically con artists sexually assaulting everyone around them. 

Next Episode:

‘Comical’ angels and explosions.

    speaking of games Aroduc, what do you think of persona 4 golden the animation? are you going to blog about it again? What are your thoughts on it since it is coming this summer? I for one thinks it was not needed again.

    • Aroduc says:

      I think that if they’re just doing a straight copy with only minor changes here and there (and/or broadcasting the DVD version), that it’s just as necessary as Jojo Stardust etc and I’ll be paying it the same amount of attention.

    I’ll never be able to look at Lenna from FFV without being reminded of Stephanie the Explorer.

  • ZakuAbumi says:

    You know, protagonists who are “con artists sexually assaulting everyone around them” actually sound kind of awesome.

  • Longhaul says:

    Looks like next week is the vs. Jibril game, should be a ‘blast’.

  • FlameStrike says:

    Eh I duno, not everyone knows how to play Blackjack (Guilty here!), so it seemed pretty logical to give it a bit of explanation. Likewise I knew about the concept of counting cards but not the details, so that was interesting to me.

    As for the lol naked men thing, I think it was obvious that they kept playing multiple games and won everything from them too, in the same manner that they stripped Stepth. They just skipped the long process of slowly showing them take every item of clothing. I think it’s a good thing as I’d rather not see friggen naked men for a second longer than is necessary.
