  Blade Kitten For Noinks 2

  We join Kit Ballard as she walks amongst the city-life of Hollow Wish. Her breaker key is still missing but luckily she's managed to find someone that can sell her goods for the fight ahead. Hundert Tonne is a tiny, round being with a love for goggles, yellow teeth and broken English. His collection of goods is more like a garage sale and he's aggressive in trying to sell what is essentially junk and if he can't get a sale then he'll push for an order.

  

  Hundert Tonne when stereotypes and Gamestop meet.

  

  GAMESTOP!

  Hundert has his lunch stolen by a a small creature with strange markings. Kit makes a deal with Hundert that if she retrieves what is left of his lunch she'll get a good deal on items she wants. The chase is on and Kit jumps over and slides under the obstacles in her way until eventually she encounters Skiffy.

  

  Kit Ballard: Bounty hunter and animal lover

  After rescuing Skiffy from a death at the end of a soldier's gun, the creature hands over the remains of the sausages he stole but it won't be an easy walk back to Hundert as he's decided to pack up and move elsewhere. His ship flies overhead.

  So now it's time to do some platforming and the environment is almost something out of a Prince of Persia title with various cloth surfaces to run along. There's also exhausts that spew out fire too in a strange architectural decision. Luckily when they're on a wall Kit can dig herself in using her sword and even use the sword to swing herself to a higher point. Then there's skiffy who can be used to hit switches Kit cannot reach or collect coins.

  The game even plays a little tune when he's at work and rather absurdly will even halt combat while he's doing all of this leaving enemies standing perfectly still and staring blankly until its over. A welcome decision but still a little hilarious.

  

  Go Skiffy! These swords and skimpy dresses won't pay for themselves!

  After all of this effort we finally get back to Hundert Tonne and we can collect our reward. Which isn't really anything Kit can carry away but now HP/MP boosts, weapons and outfits/skins can be bought.

  

  That's just a display case Kit. Put down $10 and it can be yours on the day its released!

  Next time: Kit takes the fight to Justice while in her pajamas.

  So for the people watching this blog (all 2 of you) how do you feel about Male Rights Activists?

  Groups like Fathers4Justice for instance that try to reverse the discrepencies in the Family Court in the UK are just one example.

  Psychologist Warren Farrel is another with books like "The Myth of Male Power." and "Why Men Earn More"

  How do you feel about radio personalities like Tom Leykis?

  There's also a growing number of youtube channels dedicated to Mens Rights probably the best of them being Manwomanmyth (another example)

  But there's also:
