Battle Tendency

Battle Tendency (戦闘潮流, Sentō Chōryū) is the second story arc of the manga series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure written and illustrated by Hirohiko Araki. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1987 to 1989. As it is the second part of the series, the 69 chapters pick up where the first left off and are numbered 45 to 113, with the tankōbon volumes numbered 6 to 12. It was preceded by Phantom Blood and followed by Stardust Crusaders. In its original publication, it was referred to as JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2 Joseph Joestar: His Proud Lineage (ジョジョの奇妙な冒険 第二部 ジョセフ・ジョースター ―その誇り高き血統, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken Dai Ni Bu Josefu Jōsutā Sono Hokoritakaki Kettō).

Battle Tendency was adapted in the 2012 television anime adaptation by David Production between December 7, 2012 and April 5, 2013.

Plot

The second arc takes place in 1938 and follows Joseph Joestar, the grandson of Jonathan Joestar, living in New York with his grandmother Erina. Joseph seems to have inherited the power of the Hamon, as he has a natural ability to use it. When old family friend Robert E. O. Speedwagon is reported dead in Mexico, Joseph takes it on himself to go check it out. His curiosity is piqued when he is attacked in New York City by Speedwagon's former ally-turned-foe Straizo, who has used the stone mask upon himself to become a vampire. After an intense battle, Straizo reveals to Joseph that a mysterious "Man in the Pillar" is about to be awakened before proceeding to kill himself by creating a Hamon within his own body. When he goes to Mexico he discovers a secret underground facility where the Nazis are trying to revive a man who seems to have been trapped in a stone pillar for 2,000 years. Here Joseph meets the Nazi Rudol von Stroheim.

Lisa (video game)

Lisa is a post-apocalyptic role-playing video game developed and published by Dingaling Productions. The game was written, designed, and composed for by Austin Jorgensen, and was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux on 15 December 2014.

In Lisa, the player controls Brad Armstrong, a middle-aged man with a drug addiction who must journey through the fictional wasteland of Olathe in search of his adoptive daughter, Buddy. Along the way he is forced to make choices that permanently effect both his own well-being and that of his party members.

The game received mostly positive reviews, with praise for its writing and soundtrack, but criticism for its unforgiving difficulty and pacing, and a lack of technical polish. Reviewers especially enjoyed the game's emotional story and use of dark humor.

Gameplay

Lisa features a combination of traditional turn-based RPG combat in a 2D side-scrolling overworld. Players control Brad (and his accompanying party) as he struggles to overcome his addiction, suffering from withdrawal that limits his effectiveness in battle. The overworld features an assortment of settlements with shops and bars, where recruitable party members can often be found.

Bass Armstrong (バース・アームストロング, Bāsu Āmusutorongu) is a retired professional wrestler and Tina's overprotective father. He is also the widower of Alicia Armstrong, who died of a disease when Tina was only six years old. He disapproves of Tina's aspirations of wanting to be a model (DOA2), a Hollywood actress (DOA3) and a rock star (DOA4). Consequently, he enters the DOA tournaments to put an end to her fame-seeking, only to fail at each attempt. In the fourth tournament, it is revealed that he intends to win so he would have enough money to enter the "Hyper Battle Grand Prix", which he then loses after seeing Tina's picture on a billboard and crashes into it after losing control of his bike. Like Tina in the English versions of the game, he, too, speaks with a Southern accent.
