It's hard to find a more consistently charming character than Kirby.

The pink puffball has truly come into his own over the years, and it seems Nintendo

has taken notice considering the sheer amount of Kirby games that have been released.

But it's always the new mainline Kirby that gets fans the most excited, especially after

the sheer quality of Return to Dream Land, Triple Deluxe, and Planet Robobot, with each

game building off the previous to create some of the best games in the series.

This has created a huge expectation on Star Allies.

Can it match the bar of quality that's been raised so high?

Is it different enough to bring in returning fans and newcomers?

While I don't have all the answers yet from my brief playtime so far, it's hard not

to be enraptured by Star Allies almost immediately.

Kirby is a series that thrives on taking the known and remixing it just enough that it

still feels fresh.

And that's absolutely the case once again.

Running, floating as much as you want, a slide kick, and sucking up enemies to take their

powers is all here, but it's the new elements that make it feel a little different.

And this time, that comes in the form of your allies.

At any time, Kirby can throw a heart at enemies to make them join his side, very much like

the mechanic from Kirby Super Star.

But rather than just one friend, you can have up to three, each with the full moveset of

whatever enemy they happen to be.

But in addition to this expanded friend mechanic, the Star Allies can combine their abilities

to create even more powerful attacks.

This doesn't mean that every Ability can combine with every other, there are limitations

depending on what you're using, and the game outlines this if you go into the pause

menu.

Most weapon-based powers like Sword, Whip, and Cutter can have elements added to them

like water, ice, and fire.

This changes up their properties and can even make certain enemies easier.

If one's on fire then a water or ice attack will defeat it much more quickly than using

more fire on it.

The same applies to most elements adding just a little more thought into the combat even

though it's possible to ignore it.

There are other combinations as well that are a bit more unique like ESP and Stone to

throw around a massive rock of death or Fighter which grabs a nearby ally and throws them

around the stage to wreak havoc.

It's immediately fun to experiment and see the possibilities and makes for a constant

reward cycle in the same vein as the Robobot Armor.

It's naturally integrated into the experience allowing you near full control over how you

complete a level.

Setpieces come in the form of Friend Platforms where all four allies come together to create

a special combination.

This could be the friend circle that barrels through everything in its path, the Friend

train which can travel straight up walls, or even the Friend Star which makes gameplay

more like a shooter although the stars you fire take on different properties depending

on who's in the lead.

They're short but help break up the standard gameplay.

I've only played the single player so far, but your computer controlled allies do a good

job...most of the time.

They attack what they need to and follow the context clues of the level.

In fact, they'll solve puzzles with a little prodding if they have right combination of

Abilities.

However, they often take extra hits from hazards as they try to follow along and don't always

understand when you want to combine certain powers.

It's perfectly playable, just annoying at times.

Although you can jump on the CPU friends to take control and solve any puzzles that might

be giving you trouble.

Star Allies is still fun, even in single player.

All these elements have come together for something that feels like it has a ton of

potential although I do have a few nitpicks beyond the AI.

Each time you enter a door, there's a short loading screen before the next area.

They're not long, but they do feel like they break up the pacing somewhat.

Boss fights, while definitely a highlight of the game, can become a chaotic mess and

I've lost sight of myself multiple times.

Again, these are mainly minor issues.

In my time with Star Allies so far, I've completed the first three worlds and been

consistently blown away by the graphics and music.

Kirby in HD looks phenomenal with so much detail going into every level.

The characters might be simple, but everything just pops with so much personality.

Yeah, it might only be 30fps but that hasn't once hampered my enjoyment of the game.

And the music is fantastic as well, which is really no surprise.

But I did find it interesting how much of it goes for an atmospheric tone.

It's still incredibly catchy though, knowing exactly which moments need pumped up for even

more excitement.

I could easily keep talking about Star Allies, but I'll save that for the full review.

However, if you're concerned that Nintendo's been showing too much of the game, rest assured

that there's still plenty of tricks up their sleeve.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that I've seen nearly everything from their preview coverage

already in the first three worlds.

There's still much more to see after all that.

And honestly, I just want to keep playing more and more.

Why SO HARD To Buy A WEDDING CAKE In Germany?? - Duration: 8:56.

Stefan and I got married here in Germany 6 years ago and our experience buying a wedding

cake really surprised both of us.

Hey everyone, Dana here!

When Stefan and I got married in Germany we tried our best to mix together the American

and German wedding traditions, and one thing that we agreed upon as far as the American

wedding traditions went was having an American-style wedding cake with multiple tiers.

There weren't really too many things that I had always dreamed about having at my wedding

but a multiple tiered cake was one of them.

And Stefan agreed that it just kind of added to the whole wedding-feel.

And also, we just love cake, and with multiple tiers we could have a different flavor of

cake on each tier.

So a few months before the wedding we planned out a date to go cake shopping in Germany,

and wow, I was definitely surprised by how it all went down.

As I said, we went into the cake shopping experience knowing that we wanted multiple tiers

-- I was thinking at least three, but I knew that I would probably be able to be talked

into four by the right salesperson -- we wanted a different flavor for each tier; we wanted

the cake to be colorful; and I wanted it to be covered in buttercream rather than fondant.

So first of all let's talk about my expectations going into this cake shopping day.

How would it work in the U.S.?

In the U.S. you would probably make an appointment at a cake shop for a tasting, where you'd

go in and talk with someone who works there, try a few different flavors of cake, a few

different options of frosting; we would tell the person what we were thinking as far as

the wedding cake goes and the person at the bakery would tell us that it's our big special

day and that they would work with us to create the cake of our dreams.

Sometimes this experience could also come with the tendency to try to up-sell in the U.S.

As I said before, I was thinking about three tiers but I could have been talked into four.

I had a soft top limit of what I wanted to spend, and I call it soft because I knew that

if the person at the bakery had offered this and that and this and that to create my wedding

cake of my dreams, I could have been talked into spending a little bit more.

I would mention, for example, wanting the cake to be colorful, and they would gladly

help me spend my money to make that happen as beautifully as possible.

What I experienced in Germany was...well...definitely not that.

First of all the concept of cake tastings seemed to be completely non-existent.

We were told that we could buy a slice of cake, whatever kind they happened to have

in the bakery that day and then imagine what it would be like in different flavors, which

was a little disappointing, but still okay.

But then, whereas in the U.S. I mentioned the up-sell, in Germany I was introduced to

a concept that, until then, had been wholly foreign and unknown to me: the down-sell.

I had imagined myself telling my wedding cake dreams to the salespeople and having them

help me create all that I could envision and more, but in Germany, I was barely able to

get out the first bit of information, that I wanted multiple tiers, when I was asked

how many guests we'd be having at the wedding.

When the salespeople found out that we were going to be having a small wedding, it was like:

oh, well then, I mean, you don't really need multiple tiers on your cake, just one layer will be

more than enough cake for your wedding.

And I was like: yeah no, I know that, but I want multiple tiers on my cake.

No, no, no, no.

You don't need multiple tiers.

But I want it.

No, you really don't need it.

But I really want multiple tiers for the wedding cake. Please!

In the end it really honestly felt like Stefan and I were barely, just barely able to convince

them to sell us a cake with three tiers, my minimum tier amount, and it just went on like that.

We said we wanted three different flavors -- one on each tier -- they tried to talk us

out of it because it would cost more!

We said we wanted it to be colorful, they tried to talk us into something cheaper and

less colorful.

I said I wanted buttercream frosting instead of fondant.

They flat out said no.

There was not a single bakery that I went to that said they would make the cake with

buttercream instead of fondant on the outside for me. They just refused it.

It just felt like, even once I got them to agree to the tiers and the flavor and the

color, I couldn't seem to get anyone to go all out like the cake decorations that

I've seen online and in wedding magazines in the U.S. Or, okay, if not all out then

even just a medium amount out.

It seemed like they were only willing to go just a tiny little bit out.

Even though I was willing to pay for it.

It was just such a different experience from anything that I was expecting.

Very practical.

And I had never experienced that before, that I was like I have some money here and I would

like to spend that money with you, and the salespeople were like: eeehhhh, but do you really?

And I don't know if it's because we were having a small wedding and so they didn't

think it was worth it for us to spend more money on a wedding cake.

But then, you know, that really wasn't their call to make.

It was for me and Stefan to decide if having this wedding cake of our dreams was worth

it to us.

We were the ones who had decided to cut back on other things because we wanted to have

a really cool cake.

And that was our decision to make, not the salespeople.

In the end, the cake cost way less than my soft maximum limit, and it did end up tasting

super delicious.

We got our three layers and our three different flavors and they were so good.

I don't know if I'd ever had better tasting wedding cake.

Although I might be a little bit biased. But it was definitely delicious.

And it was definitely a pretty cake, but it was not the wedding cake of my dreams and

then some.

We went to several different bakeries and talked with several different people, but

we just couldn't seem to convince anyone to accept our money and make us a wedding

cake of our dreams and then some. We just couldn't make it happen.

So my question for you is: What is your take on this?

Which kind of cake shopping experience would you prefer?

And what is your dream cake?

Not necessarily for a wedding or anything like that; just if you could have any cake

in the world, what kind of cake would you want to have?

Dwalin, at your service.

Hm. Uh...

Bilbo Baggins, at yours.

Do we...

...know each other?

No.

Which way, laddie?

Is it down here?

Is what...

...down where?

Supper.

He said there'd be food and lots of it.

He... He said? Who said?

Mmm.

Mmm.

Very good, this. Any more?

What? Oh, yes, yes.

Ah.

Help yourself.

Hmm. It's just that, urn, I wasn't expecting company.

That'll be the door.

Balin...

...at your service.

Good evening.

Yes. Yes, it is.

- Though I think it might rain later. - Hm?

Am I late?

Late for what?

Oh!

Ha, ha!

Evening, brother.

By my beard...

...you're shorter and wider than last we met.

Wider, not shorter.

Sharp enough for both of us.

Uh, excuse me? Sorry, I hate to interrupt.

But the thing is, I'm not entirely sure you're in the right house.

Have you eaten? It's not that I don't like...

...visitors. I like visitors...

...as much as the next Hobbit.

But I do like to know them before they come visiting.

- What is this? - I don't know.

- I think it's cheese. Gone blue. It's riddled with mold.

The thing is, I don't know either of you. Not in the slightest. I don't mean...

...to be blunt, but I had to speak my mind.

- I'm sorry. You think...?

apology accepted.

- Ah. Now, fill it up, brother...

...don't stint.

You wanna get stuck in? - I could eat again if you insist, brother.

- Fili. - And Kili.

At your service.

You must be Mr. Boggins.

Nope! You can't come in. You've come to the wrong house.

What?

- Has it been canceled? - No one told us.

No, nothing's been canceled.

That's a relief.

Careful with these.

I just had them sharpened.

It's nice, this place. Yeah.

- Did you do it yourself? - What? No, it's been in the family for years.

That's my mother's glory box. Can you please not do that?

Fili, Kili. Come on, give us a hand.

Mr. Dwalin. Ha, ha.

Shove this in the hallway. Otherwise we'll never get everyone in.

"Everyone"? How many more are there? Where do you want this?

- Oh, no. It's really heavy.

No. No. There's nobody home!

Go away and bother somebody else.

There's far too many Dwarves in my dining room as it is.

If this is some clot-head's idea of a joke...

...I can only say it is in very...

...poor taste.

Get off...

...you big lump!

Gandalf.

Excuse me, that's my chicken. Um...

if... If you don't... That's my wine. Excuse me!

He's got an injury.

You mean the ax in his head?

Dead? No, only between his ears.

His legs work fine.

Put those back.

- Put that back. - Put that back.

Not the jam.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

It's a tad excessive, isn't it? Have you got a cheese knife?

- "Cheese knife"? He eats it by the block. Ugh.

No, that's Grandpa Mungo's chair... No, so is that. Take it back, please.

- I cannot hear what you're saying. It's an antique. Not for sitting on.

That is a book, not a coaster. And put that map down.

- Excuse me, Mr. Gandalf? - Yes?

May I tempt you with a cup of chamomile?

Oh, no, thank you, Dori. A little red wine for me, I think.

Whoop! Mind out. - Yes. Ah.

Uh, Fili, Kili. Uh...

Oin, Gloin.

Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur...

- ... Dori, Nori. Ori! - No. Not my prizewinners, thank you.

No, thank you.

Yes, you're quite right, Bifur.

We appear to be one Dwarf short.

He is late, is all. He traveled north to a meeting of our kin. He will come.

Mr. Gandalf? A little glass of red wine, as requested.

It's got a fruity bouquet.

Oh. Cheers.

Bombur's on his second leg of lamb already.

Hmm.

No chance. Not from that distance.

Wanna bet? Bombur...

...catch!

I'll help you with that.

Oh, you great...

...galumphing git!

Who wants an ale? There you go.

Over here, brother.

I said have another...

...drink. Here you go.

Ale on the count of three!

One...

- ... two... - Up!

I knew you had it in you!

Excuse me, that is a doily not a dishcloth.

But it's full of holes.

It's supposed to look like that. It's crochet.

And a wonderful game it is too, if you've got the balls for it.

Bebother and confusticate these Dwarves!

My dear Bilbo, what on earth is the matter?

What's the matter? I'm surrounded by Dwarves.

What are they doing here?

Oh, they're quite a merry gathering once you get used to them.

I don't want to get used to them.

Look at the state of my kitchen. There's mud trod into the carpet.

They've pillaged the pantry.

I won't tell you what they've done in the bathroom.

They've destroyed the plumbing. I don't understand what they're doing in my house!

Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt, but what should I do with my plate?

Here you go, Ori. Give it to me.

Take that back.

Excuse me.

That's my mother's...

...West Farthing pottery. It's over...

...100 years old!

And can you...

...not do that?

You'll blunt them.

Ooh. Do you hear that, lads?

He says...

...we'll blunt the knives.

Blunt the knives, bend the forks

Smash the bottles and burn the corks

Chip the glasses an crack the plates

That's what Bilbo Baggins

Hates

Cut the cloth, tread on the fat

Leave the bones on the bedroom mat

Pour the milk on the pantry floor

Splash the wine

On every door

Dump the crooks in a boiling bowl

Pound them up with a thumping pole

When you're finished

If they are whole

Send them down the hall to roll

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates

Bilbo.

He is here.

Forgotten Realms Pantheon - Malar and Mask - Duration: 5:45.

Hello people of the internet, Jorphdan here the PH is silent.

This has been long awaited video I feel.

I get loads of comments to do a video on Mask!

So enjoy.

Today we're talking about Malar the evil god of the hunt, and Mask the god of thieves!

First Malar.

Malar is the deity of the hunt.

He is the darker side of nature, the bloody savage side.

Known as the Beastlord, Lord of Beasts, and the Ravaging Bear, Malar is not to be messed

with.

He is Chaotic Evil and his portfolio includes beasts and monsters, blood lust, and evil

lycanthropes, as well as hunters and stalking.

Along with Umberlee and Auril he is one of the Gods of Fury who serve Talos.

Lycanthropes who embrace their curse often worship Malar.

As well as fallen rangers or druids.

Creatures that hunt for the sake of sport rather than survival.

They relish in fear of a creature being hunted, and take joy in the kill.

Those fallen rangers and druids are the exception but Malar mostly detests regular druids.

As they try to bring balance to nature and harmony.

Malar seeks to overthrow this with his unbridled destruction.

Apart from savage druids and rangers, many barbarians take Malar as a patron because

of his ferocity and cruelty.

His faithful believe the hunt is the center point between life and death - the facing

off of hunter and prey, forcing the issue of who lives and dies.

In Malar's world you are either the hunter or the hunted, and you can guess which side

his followers tend to be on.

However Malar himself has been the hunted, during the Time of Troubles he was successfully

tracked by Gwareon Windstrom.

Malar could not shake him despite every trick he possessed.

Malar did defeat some minor deities brought to Faerun from an ancient wave of immigrants,

but Gwaeron Windstrom was ever on his trail.

It was after the Time of Troubles that Malar was weakened, all the gods power was reflected

in their worshipers and Malar had few churches and followers.

As a result he was forced to seek new worshipers among the nonhuman tribes, and now numerous

humanoids follow the path of the Beastlord throughout Faerun.

Malar is not a popular god.

Such as deities like Umbrelee he is invoked usually to prevent his interference rather

than asking for it.

Temples of Malar are simple and found in the woods or forest glens.

They are inwardly curving small structures of stone arranged in a ring.

His church acts almost like a cult.

There is no central figure or authority, which makes it difficult to deal with.

When one such group is driven out, another seems to pop up elsewhere.

Making it difficult to stop deadly followers.

The whole church is built around the concept of the Hunt.

And the local independant cells of his church are known as Hunts.

Leaders of these cells are the most powerful, often warriors or shape changing predators

(such as a werewolf).

But sometimes it's a powerful priest of Malar or even a wizard.

This place of leadership is won through combat, with another taking the position upon the

murder of the previous leader.

Known as Huntmasters the position is a sought after but a stressful one to maintain.

The dogma of Malar is survival of the fittest.

May you die an old man is an insult among his followers.

The hunt is the focus, and the point of life is the challenge between hunter and prey.

Malarites often go on long hunts and when they kill they taste the blood of their victim.

They kill closely, choosing to never slay from a distance.

Although it's part of their dogma to kill druids whenever possible being an evil Druid

in a savage bloodthirsty world like Chult would be an interesting character to play.

Worshiping Malar, invoking his qualities everytime you change into beast form.

I dig it.

Next is Mask.

A fan favorite and much requested.

Master of all thieves, and Lord of Shadows Mask is the deity of intrigue along with being

the patron of thieves.

People pray to mask when in need of great stealth, and diplomats invoke his name for

smooth negotiations.

Most of Mask's worshipers are thieves or spies.

Priests of Mask are usually thieves by profession.

Which sounds awesome to be a cleric thief, but I suppose you could be a priest of Mask

without actually being a cleric.

Mask himself is Neutral Evil, but his followers can be of any alignment.

They are at their core thieves, and he is the center of many thieve guilds.

If there is a temple to Mask it is usually separate from the thieves guild, but there

are connecting tunnels between the two.

Each priesthood of Mask is independent in each major city or region.

If you follow Mask you are known as a Maskarran.

All that occurs within shadow is in the purview of Mask.

In a Maskarran's eyes ownership is nine-tenths of what is right, and if a person happens

to currently have something, it is his or hers.

Previous ownership does not count.

The day belongs to the quick, the smooth tongued, and the light fingered.

The dogma of the church is as follows: "Wealth rightfully belongs to those who can acquire

it.

Strive to end each day with more material wealth than you began it with.

Steal what is most vital and Honesty is for fools."

Never force someone to do something when you can manipulate them into doing it, and making

them think the decision was entirely their own free will.

Maskarrans are perhaps the wealthiest clergy in the Realms, second only to Waukeen.

There are no calendar related holy days in the Church of Mask, but every temple of the

god has a ritual once a month.

Known as the Ritual of the Unseen Presence it is an acknowledgement in chanted verse,

and offerings of wealth to Mask.

The major center of worship is the House of the Master's Shadow in Telflamm.

It is the largest temple to Mask in Faerun.

The clergy there are known as local shadows, and they identify important thieves and those

rebellious to authority and approach these folks to recruit them to the faith.

Priests of Mask are encouraged to hide their true nature and masquerade as other priests

or commoners.

Clerics of Mask pray at night, in darkness or shadows.

During the Time of Troubles Mask took the form of a sword named Godsbane.

Cyric wielded this sword and killed many with it.

Also Mask ended up reading the Cyrinishad, which was a Tome that converted people over to Cyric

when read.

This nearly destroyed Mask and cost him much of his divine power.

There's some more info on Mask but it's kind of tied to the books so I don't want

to spoil too much.

And to be honest I haven't read them so I'm sure if I did mention it I'd get it

wrong.

Thanks for watching everyone.

Remember to play that evil Malar Druid, and a cleric/rogue multiclass of Mask in your

next game.
