What time is it? (Adventure Time Season 3)

[Pokonic]

Billy Half-giant. Other half also giant.

Or half-ogre. I mean, he could be old enough to be half-human, but he kind of looks like those barbarian guys that show up every once and a while....

Dang it, Ooo!

Speaking of LSP's power gem, anybody else notice that when they dumped all the gems onto the Enchiridion and it sucked them all in, LSP's star gem just sort of fell off to the side and wasn't part of powering up the book? Significant, methinks. Maybe LSP isn't a real princess!

Or Lumpy Space is another realm seperate from Ooo proper, and it has its own version of the book?

One thing I liked about the episode is the casual instance of PB just random cutting the limbs off her experimented creatures. Her insanity is just the norm now.

They never seemed to be in any pain and the attaching process was quick and simple.

Well it just rather means that she's not one of THE princesses who have a crown that holds one the keys to unlocking the books powers... I mean there are A LOT of princesses in Ooo(over 30 so far), more than the number of keyholes(9) in the Enchirdion; So not every royal in Ooo has one of the gems... Actually thinking about it, i find it a bit odd that the did not include the flame royal family in the montage of royals; given their prominence in the series through flame princess I would think that they would be included.

It's still really disturbing.

Billy Half-giant. Other half also giant.

I like to think that Billy was just a normal guy until he was hit by a stray beam of gamma radiation magic, and now he turns into a twelve fingered, thirty foot tall, gray skinned abomination when he gets apathetic about the world. You wouldn't want to see him when he gets apathetic about the world.

[Beacon of Chaos]

Not 3.5, unless you are willing to to base it practically all on fluff. Something with a stunt system, that rewards awesome description, would work better in my opinion.

You're going to need A LOT of homebrew if you're going to base it on d&d. Maybe Gurps with some relevant hombrew abilities. Depends on your taste.

Actualy, Pathfinder would be better, but another system would be best.

.......

Actualy, GURP's might work. The point system works better when it comes to building the cast, and one could build a equaly magical and tech-based happy little monster-filled land with the splats.

You make good points, and yeah, I would imagine that there would be a lot of homebrew necessary for D&D.

Not too familiar with GURPs (I glanced over the rules as prep for a game that never happened), nor do I know any systems with a stunt system.

Hmm...

Agreed. Especially cutting the legs off with scissors. *shudder* I had a bad experience with those as a kid.

I thought it was fascinating. Scientists experiment, it doesn't make them crazy.

Explain to me what valuable knowledge can be gained and learned by cutting the limbs off one creature to attach to another so the second creature can do perfect cartwheels?

[Fjolnir]

Here we see the distinction between a scientist and a SCIENCE!-tist...

[slayerx]

Explain to me what valuable knowledge can be gained and learned by cutting the limbs off one creature to attach to another so the second creature can do perfect cartwheels?

Why, how many limbs does it take to perform perfect cartwheels, of course! But one must find that valuable balance; too many limbs and the creature will not be able to function normally as well as perform perfect cartwheels.

And besides, those little guys were clearly happy to lend PB a hand

Sheesh, next you'll be telling us that its a waste of time to try and create the perfect sandwich.

[Ravens_cry]

Not at all. Giving said sandwich to Cinnamon Bun however . . .
Dr. Epic, surely you, of all people should understand that knowledge has its own value.

The ending reminded me of Monkey Island 2's ending and I expect a similar resolution.

@Adventure Time RPGing:
Somebody in the (Rule of Cool's) Legend thread thought about running an Adventure Time themed campaign in that system and I already thought of it as a great fit at that time.

What will happend if you cut of the limbs off one creature to attach to another so the second creature can do perfect cartwheels.

Candy people seem to be nearly immune to pain anyways. The marshmallow kids suffered no ill effects from being on fire other than being gooey for a while. Peppermint Butler and several others broke off pieces of their own bodies so Bubbleum could age herself up again. They're pretty friggin resilient.

No its:

Or more exactly: "We do what we must, because we can"

There apparently was a third game (with Ron Gilbert at the helm) in mind that likely would have explained things, so unless the writers intend to vacate the show suddenly, I think we'll get some kind of resolution, however mind screwy and, well, Adventure Timey, it is.

But think of the outcomes. Have you never seen FMA? Imagine if the homunculi could do perfect cartwheels in addition to all their other powers. They'd be a source of unstoppable evil!

Take you lame pun and please kindly leave the internet now! (please)

Sheesh, next you'll be telling us that its a waste of time to try and create the perfect sandwich.

Well no. You should be trying to create the perfect burrito!

I meant that it look like everything so far has been the imagination of a "normal" child but it's actually just the villain's magic affecting the mind of the protagonist.

Eh, we have seen things from the perspective ofother characters, as well as seen things Finn and Jake know nothing about, like the ending for the last episode shortly after the Mushroom War.
But besides evil magic, it could also be partly the different laws of physics of a different universe, a world where dogs don't talk and can't stretch and grow their body and internal anatomy.

To be fair, Jake apparently got his powers from a magical puddle.

Does Finn's noseless make him a mutent? I mean, otherwise, the one from the "normal" world would have little reason to not have one.

Holy crap...

At this rate, Billys song will be prophetic. After all, Finn has delt with a evil ocean (at least to him), a firey noble (well, not in person), and he has fought with a bear (well, he yelled at it, but thats fighting in a different way.). Now all he must do is fight the Lich....King.

Along with those mentioned, Susan Strong also lacks a visible, external nose.
