The Fanservice Topic
The Fanservice Topic
And by fanservice I explictely mean the non sexual version of it.
So it isn't this (For Jeff: Picture of Lucoa from Dragon Maid)
Something like this, something a fan of a series can appreciate if it makes a reference to an older work of it. I don't explicitely mean video games, so let's talk about anything that has a nice call back to an earlier piece.
Edit: Thanks to fox's edit the image is now even more fitting than it was before.

Re: The Fanservice Topic
I think a discussion including, or even specifically about, the sexual kind of fanservice would probably generate more conversation.
It's really hard to determine what's fanservice and what's just a nod to a previous series, or even a coincidence. I can't really think of anything besides the example you gave that made me go "Wow, that's clever and not at all on the nose and living in the past". I guess Green Hill Zone in SA2/SA2B would be the only other notable example?

I agree, but I really regret the last time I made a topic in that nature.

Re: The Fanservice Topic
You probably aren't. i don't see how this "Marv" character makes references to other series or past entries in the Custom Robo series at all.

Re: The Fanservice Topic
The fact he also mentioned they don't make "Giant Can" Robos anymore, and consistently uses the same general type of Robo?

Re: The Fanservice Topic
Fan service is servicing fans. Making references to things only older fans will get. Joking about previously removed and notorious bugs/exploits/glitches.
Not just mentioning old game things.

Re: The Fanservice Topic
well sorry for not specifying "joke"
That and a new player literally won't know what a Giant Can is.

Re: The Fanservice Topic
New players being uninformed doesn't determine whether or not something is fanservice.

Re: The Fanservice Topic
Sorry I even bothered trying to correct you then. And sorry to Triert that this whole """"thing"""" took up most of the first page of the topic.

Re: The Fanservice Topic
I'm sorry Ivo, I know we are both two fish in a bowl about huge honkers, two kindered souls about badonkers, enthusiasts of large dobonhonkeros. Lovers of
dohoonkabhankoloos, appreciators of tonhongerekoogers, priests of the pairs of bonkhonagahoogs the world of 2d has to offer, dare I say the most vocal here of our dedication to the hungolomghnonoloughongous's.
But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping to disappoint you in this exact way.
Also Adventures, what you mention would be more akin to say, Cid from final fantasy showing up a lot in games. It's only fair you made a mistake since the exact purpose of this topic is narrow and one I expected people to have trouble with and hoped my explanation would suffice. Eboy definitely helped with the tvtrope link!
