The '''Brian Beacock''' is a [[mammal]] primarily found in [[Studio City]], [[California]]. As of [[December 21]], [[2008]], there is only one in the world, making it an [[endangered]] species. We are incredibly thankful for that. |
|||
====Habitat==== |
|||
The Beacock primarily inhabits voice acting studios and male-only strip clubs. It can commonly be found in the beds of men, attempting to have [[intercourse]] with said men. To Beacock-proof your house, either populate it with [[hot chick]]s or post naked females all over the place. and you will be safe. |
|||
====Behavior==== |
|||
The Beaock is known to frequently make love with other men, often by force ([[rape]]). It also emits a terrible sounding vocalization that is commonly featured in shitty non-union voice acting projects such as [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]] which features [[Johnny Yong Bosch]], a normally good voice actor, sounding like [[Michael Jackson]]. This resulted in the character of [[Lloyd Irving]] being [[raped]] vigourously. |
|||
==Prey and Diet== |
|||
The Beaock primarily feasts on [[cum]] of other males. It most frequent target is the [[Aloysius Snuffleupagus]], a [[mammoth]]-like creature that lives on [[Sesame Street]]. It frequently must eat buckets of [[jizz]] ejaculated by Beacock. The mammoth then must regurgitate said jizz into Beacock's mouth and butt-hole. |
|||
The Beaock often visits [[McDonald's]], where it orders a [[Mc]][[Penis]] [[Filet]] and roughly twenty [[cum]][[shakes]] from Fernando Jose, the waiter behind the counter. |
|||
====Background==== |
|||
Brian Beacock was born to Amina and Arnold Beacock. The Beacocks, devout [[Scientologists]], believed Brian was the reincarnation of [[L. Ron Hubbard]], showering him with gifts and praise. The younger Beacock generally got anything he wanted, so one day, he asked to show up for his [[fifth grade]] [[Christmas]] party completely and totally naked. When he arrived, many of the children (and teachers) laughed at him and said "Ha! He's got a cock smaller than a bee!". From thereon out, Brian was reffered to as "Bee-cock". |
|||
This turn of events resulted in Brian Beacock turning [[gay]]. He eventually graduated high school with a 0.2 GPA (he was allowed to graduate because his [[cum]]-guzzling acting in the school plays resulted in low turnouts). Brian then attended college at Scmuckworth's School for the Mentally Impaired. He participated in a number of plays there, and was often molested by the costumed [[mascots]]. |
|||
Afterwords, Brian left to pursue voice acting. All of the voice directors have hired him as a prank to the fans. [[Unbeknownst]] to [[Tales]] fans, [[Namco Bandai]] went [[non]]-[[union]] for their games, resulting in [[Scott Menville]] getting laid off and replaced by the [[queer]]. |
|||
====Personal Life and Relationships==== |
|||
Brian Beacock is openly [[gay]]. He has dated numerous refined individuals throughout his career. He is currently obsessed with Tom Cruise because "his eyes are, like, totally dreamy". He also fucked a bufallo. Not even a [[gay]] [[Michael Jackson]] [[Brute]] would fuck him. Even in "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World", the English version contains a new title for Lloyd called "Peter Puffer". It maxes out his stats and level and gets a new hi-ougi (Mystic Arte) called Cum Shake, where he summons Snuffleupagus who guzzles his cum during the extension. He is also known to act like a castrated hypocrite. |
|||
Brian Beacock has had a very publicized relationship with [[Snuffleupagus]]. "Snuffy" has been very outspoken about Beacock's abusive behavior. "He makes me drink [[cum]][[shakes]] all the time!" said Snuffy in a tearful interview. |
|||
Brian Beacock has one [[butt]][[-]][[baby]], likely from Snuffleupagus, judging by the snout. His name is Jimbo and it currently runs a communist regime in a small town in [[Cambodia]]. On his son, Brian says, "I couldn't be happier! All those times I touched him between his legs must have really gotten him motivated. He really loves [[Goofy]] [[Time]]!". |
|||
====Tales fan reaction==== |
|||
Brian Beacock has voiced [[Lloyd Irving]] numerous times due to the Namco's decision not to use union actors, resulting in [[Scott Menville]], the original actor for the character, getting laid off. Fans destest Beacock for his portrayal of the character, and just wish he would flush himself down a toilet to heck. |
|||
====Epic Battle With Scott Menville==== |
|||
[[Scott Menville]], the original voice actor of [[Lloyd Irving]], is said to be livid at his replacement for the sequel, [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]. Unfortunately, [[Beacock]] was hired instead. This resulted in [[Scott Menville]] stealing a [[mech]] from [[Area 51]], blowing a hole through Beacock's man-whore house, and tearing his body in half. However, Beacock then patched himself together using the [[T-Virus]] and turned into a [[Megazord]]. Menville summoned [[Master Chief]] to aid him, and, riding on a unicorn, he demolished the Megazord. Beacock wasn't done yet- mounted on a [[castrated]] [[hypogriff]], he took to the skies... completely naked. Menville took out a rocket launcher, blowing Beacock and his mount to [[smithereens]]. Beacock, after a lifetime of bad voice acting, has finally been shown divine justice. Beacock, however, survived, because, based on an autopsy of the body, the person in the battle was not in fact Beacock, but his brother, [[Brian]] [[Tree]][[cock]]. |
|||
Because of this incident, Scott Menville will return for a special edition of [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]] titled [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Knight of Ratatosk Edition]]. This is because [[Brian Beacock]], the non-union voice actor of [[Lloyd Irving]], is in the hospital due to being [[raped]] by a [[Emma Watson|hot woman]]. This [[heterosexual]] experience has scarred and mentally impaired the [[cum]]-guzzling Beacock for the rest of his natural life. "I've never seen a case quite like this" said Dr. Schnizzamabuffet of Hayward Hospital for the Queer, "he keeps muttering 'my tiny dick... in that... that... hole... what was that... oh [[Xenu]], please help me!". The rest of the original Symphonia cast will join Menville. "Our voice director had a homosexual threesome between himself, Mr. Beacock, and, judging from the surveilance camera from the back of a [[Buffalo Wild Wings]] in [[Polaris]], [[Ohio]], a man donning a [[Winnie the Pooh]] costume from [[Disney World]]. We apologize for hiring Beacock and his [[Gang]] [[of]] [[Fags]][[™]]. We understand if you don't forgive us", said an unnamed Namco representative. |

Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, known in Japan as Tales of Symphonia: Knight of Ratatosk (テイルズ オブ シンフォニア -ラタトスクの騎士-, Teiruzu obu Shinfonia-Ratatosuku no Kishi-), is a console role-playing game developed by Namco Tales Studio and published by Namco Bandai for the Wii.[3] It was released in Japan on June 26, 2008, and in North America on November 11, 2008. Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World's characteristic genre name is To Believe in Resonating Hearts RPG (響き合う心を信じるRPG, Hibiki au kokoro o shinjiru RPG). It is a spin-off of Tales of Symphonia for the Nintendo GameCube and PlayStation 2.[4]
Gameplay
Battle system
Dawn of the New World uses the "Flex Range Element Enhanced Linear Motion Battle System" (FR:EE-LMBS), combining aspects of Tales of the Abyss' and Tales of Destiny's battle systems, to create a battle experience comparable to Tales of Innocence's Dimension Stride Linear Motion Battle System. A key feature of this enhanced system is the Elemental Grid.[5] Each battle location, skill, and monster has an elemental attribute.[6] The battlefield's element can be altered by using three skills with the same elemental attribute in a row.[6] Changing the element of the field determines both the effectiveness of an attack, as well as the characters that can participate in Unison Attacks, which return from the original Symphonia. A meter on the lower part of the screen indicates when the attack can be unleashed.[6] Another returning element of the series are Mystic Artes.[7]
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/55/ToS2_screen01.jpg/220px-ToS2_screen01.jpg)
Another new feature is the ability to capture, breed, and level up over 200 monsters to fight alongside Emil. Monsters can be recruited once they have been defeated in battle. In order to increase the odds of a successful recruitment, the element of the field should align with the element of the monster, and an altered version of the classic Tales affection system helps to persuade them to join the party.[6] The monsters are controlled in battle by artificial intelligence.[6] The party can only hold four monsters at a time; as such, those not in use can be stored in a pen at the Katz Guild.[5] There are also several sidequests available at the Katz Guild.[5]
The party obtains both experience points and GRADE after each battle. Experience points are divided equally amongst all members of the party. Once a certain amount has been accumulated, each character or monster will level up, thereby improving their stats and possibly gaining new skills.[4] Another way to increase a monster's status parameters is by cooking them special recipes, some of which can even cause them to evolve into new forms, allowing for "monster customization."[4] The original Symphonia cast, however, do not gain levels through experience points; instead, they gain levels during plot events. The amount of GRADE received depends on how each battle is fought. From the second playthrough on, collected GRADE can be used to purchase game options, or transfer items or skills to carry to the next file.[6]
Presentation
The only animated segment in the game is its opening sequence. Most of the story is told through real-time cut scenes that were filmed using a motion capture system.[4] Skits, which are short, optional conversations between the characters, make a return; unlike in previous North American releases, these skits are fully voiced.[8] There is more voice acting in towns and dungeons than in the previous game.[9] Much of the music in Dawn of the New World is remixed from the soundtrack of the original Tales of Symphonia.[4] The game also has widescreen support.[6] Furthermore, many of the assets and locations in the game have been taken directly from the original Tales of Symphonia, but the textures have been updated.[4]
Dawn of the New World makes limited use of the Wii Remote's features. Rather than the fully explorable Field Map traditionally used in Tales games, a point-and-click system using the Wii Remote is used to navigate the world. The development team left the Field Map out due to production schedule deadlines.[5] The pointer is also used for minigames and as a cursor for the Sorcerer's Ring.[6]
North American additions
The North American version of Dawn of the New World has additional features that were not present in the Japanese release. New features include the ability to load cleared Tales of Symphonia game data to receive extra items or Gald at the beginning of the game. In addition to this, while not a new feature, the number of motion control shortcuts in battle has been increased from four in the Japanese version to eight for the North American version.[10]
Plot
During the events of the first game, Lloyd Irving and his companions embarked to a journey that led to the merging of the twin worlds of Sylvarant and Tethe'alla. After the lands became one, however, maps were rendered useless and the climate went through many vast changes: desert towns became frozen wastelands and lakes dried up into valleys. All of this stems from an overlooked factor in the unification of the worlds: the spirit of the old Kharlan Tree, Ratatosk, still exists somewhere, and its slumber has sent the world into chaos.[2] To complicate matters, tensions have quickly escalated between the people of the two worlds. The Tethe'allans look down upon the Sylvaranti due to their inferior technology, and the Sylvaranti fear the Tethe'allans for their power. Two years have passed since the worlds were first merged, and the Sylvaranti have created an army, known as the Vanguard, with which to rise against the Church of Martel and the Tethe'allans.
One day, the Church of Martel goes to war with the Vanguard, and Sylvarant's city of Palmacosta is caught in the crossfire. Countless innocent lives are lost and the city is consumed in flames. This event comes to be known as the "Blood Purge," a massacre allegedly led by the same Lloyd Irving who helped unite the worlds two years before. Emil Castagnier, a Palmacostan boy, is forced to watch as his parents are killed by Lloyd; after this traumatic incident, he is sent to Luin to live with his aunt and uncle. He suffers continual mistreatment from them, however, and he is further ostracized by the people of the city, who view Lloyd as a hero.
Emil's life takes a dramatic turn when he befriends Marta Lualdi, a girl who is being hunted by the Vanguard and the enigmatic Richter Abend alike. Determined to protect her, Emil confronts Richter and helps Marta escape with the aid of Tenebrae, a centurion spirit who serves Ratatosk. Tenebrae states that there are other centurions who lie in a dormant state: to restore balance to the world's environment, all of them should be awoken in order to revive Ratatosk. Emil forms a pact with Tenebrae, and in so doing becomes the Knight of Ratatosk. So it is that Emil and Marta embark on their journey of revenge and restoration.
Voice cast

The skit scenes in the localized version of Dawn of the New World will be fully voiced.[11] There are conflicting opinions about the game's voice acting on IGN: Mark Bozon stated that the voice acting was stronger than the previous game, whereas Matt Casamassina said that "the voice acting is...simply atrocious".[12] Nintendojo expressed their disappointment that Scott Menville will not return as Lloyd Irving.[13]

The Brian Beacock is a mammal primarily found in Studio City, California. As of December 21, 2008, there is only one in the world, making it an endangered species. We are incredibly thankful for that.
Habitat
The Beacock primarily inhabits voice acting studios and male-only strip clubs. It can commonly be found in the beds of men, attempting to have intercourse with said men. To Beacock-proof your house, either populate it with hot chicks or post naked females all over the place. and you will be safe.

This resulted in the character of Lloyd Irving being raped vigourously.
Prey and Diet
The Beaock primarily feasts on cum of other males. It most frequent target is the Aloysius Snuffleupagus, a mammoth-like creature that lives on Sesame Street. It frequently must eat buckets of jizz ejaculated by Beacock. The mammoth then must regurgitate said jizz into Beacock's mouth and butt-hole.
The Beaock often visits McDonald's, where it orders a McPenis Filet and roughly twenty cumshakes from Fernando Jose, the waiter behind the counter.
Background
Brian Beacock was born to Amina and Arnold Beacock. The Beacocks, devout Scientologists, believed Brian was the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard, showering him with gifts and praise. The younger Beacock generally got anything he wanted, so one day, he asked to show up for his fifth grade Christmas party completely and totally naked.

Afterwords, Brian left to pursue voice acting. All of the voice directors have hired him as a prank to the fans. Unbeknownst to Tales fans, Namco Bandai went non-union for their games, resulting in Scott Menville getting laid off and replaced by the queer.
Personal Life and Relationships
Brian Beacock is openly gay. He has dated numerous refined individuals throughout his career. He is currently obsessed with Tom Cruise because "his eyes are, like, totally dreamy". He also fucked a bufallo. Not even a gay Michael Jackson Brute would fuck him. Even in "Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World", the English version contains a new title for Lloyd called "Peter Puffer".

Tales fan reaction
Brian Beacock has voiced Lloyd Irving numerous times due to the Namco's decision not to use union actors, resulting in Scott Menville, the original actor for the character, getting laid off. Fans destest Beacock for his portrayal of the character, and just wish he would flush himself down a toilet to heck.
Epic Battle With Scott Menville
Scott Menville, the original voice actor of Lloyd Irving, is said to be livid at his replacement for the sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World. Unfortunately, Beacock was hired instead. This resulted in Scott Menville stealing a mech from Area 51, blowing a hole through Beacock's man-whore house, and tearing his body in half.

Beacock, after a lifetime of bad voice acting, has finally been shown divine justice. Beacock, however, survived, because, based on an autopsy of the body, the person in the battle was not in fact Beacock, but his brother, Brian Treecock.
Because of this incident, Scott Menville will return for a special edition of Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World titled Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World Knight of Ratatosk Edition. This is because Brian Beacock, the non-union voice actor of Lloyd Irving, is in the hospital due to being raped by a hot woman. This heterosexual experience has scarred and mentally impaired the cum-guzzling Beacock for the rest of his natural life. "I've never seen a case quite like this" said Dr. Schnizzamabuffet of Hayward Hospital for the Queer, "he keeps muttering 'my tiny dick... in that... that... hole... what was that... oh Xenu, please help me!". The rest of the original Symphonia cast will join Menville. "Our voice director had a homosexual threesome between himself, Mr. Beacock, and, judging from the surveilance camera from the back of a Buffalo Wild Wings in Polaris, Ohio, a man donning a Winnie the Pooh costume from Disney World. We apologize for hiring Beacock and his Gang of Fags™. We understand if you don't forgive us", said an unnamed Namco representative.

Dawn of the New World sold 120,000 copies in Japan on its first day of release[28] and concluded the week of June 23rd to June 29th (with Dawn of the New World being released on the 26th) with over 151,000 copies sold. This made it the bestselling game of that week.[29] In a report detailing Namco Bandai's results for the first fiscal quarter 2009, the company revealed that as of 6th August 2008, Dawn of the New World has sold over 215,000 copies in Japan.[30]
Since its release, Dawn of the New World has received mixed reviews. Reviewers of Famitsu magazine gave the game a score of 31/40[31] whereas Famitsu Wii+DS's reviewers gave the game a 35/40.[32] IGN rated Dawn of the New World 6.7/10, praising the presentation, real-time battles, and length of the game, while criticizing the music, voice acting, graphics and linearity.[33] Gametrailers gave it an overall rating of 7.9/10, stating that in some ways the game was a worthy successor to Tales of Symphonia, but that the "erratic difficulty, budget production values, and a poorly paced story" make Dawn of the New World "ultimately just another passable action RPG".[34] Nintendo Power gave the game a score of an 8.0/10, praising the battle system and nostalgic aspects of the title, though criticizing the limits on the old casts' levels and equipment, the removal of a traditional field map, and the voice actor changes. GameSpot gave the game a 6.5/10, hailing its familiar battle system, characters, and "fun" four-person multiplayer support; however, the abundance of cut scenes, the poor plot, deficiencies in the AI, and the monster system received harsh criticism.[35]
