@Juan:
Pretty sure there are two or three, but I mean, they're hidden, so you probably don't find them all.
One of my friends modded that Unlimited Blade Works mod for Skyrim so that Emiya plays inside the Reality Marble.
I have the best friends.
Ghostbusters, maybe? Granted, there are some over-the-top gags, but on the other hand, dry Murray quips. Delishush Murray quips.
Man, now I'm remembering about this one girl in our vampire game. She hasn't seen Ghostbusters and refuses to watch it.
She also didn't know Blues Brothers was a movie. When asked where she thought they came from she said 'The Universal Studios ride.'
how can someone be so ignorant of pop culture and most importantly, of the gospel of jim belushi
answer me, malk, answer me ;~;
by being the DM's girlfriend obviously.
that...really doesn't answer the question.
how can i ask you questions if you're gonna go in bizarre unrelated tangents
I wish I remembered more of what it was like learning English, it'd make learning other languages feel less directionless.
^^Oh, you don't know about the 'GM's girlfriend' stereotype? The air-headed girl who expects special treatment because she's boinking the GM?
I swear I thought they were just a made up stereotype until her.
remember that RPing and me are not the best of friends, mon brave.
nova, y u no there anymore
D'you want me to log back in?
Hey Glenn, where's that video of that guy running Hell with the Level 3 Nemesis?
Well, I just get bored on my own and I didn't know if anyone else was gonna be on for hours, is all.
how do i activated trial thing, forzare
Alex: What's wrong with saying the arm is decayed? Some undead aren't exactly decayed, and even if they are, that specific limb may not be
It was still crappy writing, but that part didn't seem AS offensive as repeating crimson or saying, "pale orbs"
Re Portal memes:
I'm surprised fish-shaped stuff hasn't become a meme.
^ Fish shaped fish! 8D
Now I know the recipe involves 3 tablespoons of rhubarb, on fire. Unfortunately these three tablespoons of rhubarb, on fire, are not fish-shaped.
^ Could be assumed that the rhubarb, the spoon, and the flames are all fish shaped
So, Xenoblade Chronicles. Go buy it, if you haven't already.
No.
Nope.avi
Can't sneak it by parents.
I know this seems like a brain dead question first, but from everything I've seen and read, peoples' opinions on this vary WILDLY, so I figure I should get a sizable sample, and it might as well be you guys, so here goes:
If you were writing a story, what would be your idea of keeping it interesting? Inversely, what do you think makes a story boring?
^Prose is a real make or break for me. I don't like excessively dry prose but I find purple prose much worse. Avoid overly formal language or descriptions, but don't be afraid to go crazy or use casual/humorous wording.
Plenty of action and keeping it moving
However, too much or too little movement can kill it. I can understand that a story needs some moments for describing, but they can overuse them
There is a reason why I tend to read short stories more often
Bleh, my back-right area is achey. This has me fucking paranoid. I had kidney stones once. My body BETTER not pull that shit again
make a thread.
Normally, what keeps an story interesting for me is not action itself, but seeing that it goes somewhere. Whether it's characters speaking to each other or a character rambling to himself about something, if I see that the author is building up to something, then I wanna see what that something is.
Transmitting this feeling is complicated, I think, but the thing that seems to work the most in my experience from seeing other, much better, men do this is simply not dwelling too much on an scene, a sentence or a concept. A lot of times, you see scenes overstaying their welcome and going on for too long.
The importance of an scene, above all, is that it needs to establish a brick, if we assume that the climax is a building. If it puts one more brick it's OK. If we see the same builder putting on too many bricks, we'll wonder where the rest of the crew is. If we don't see the rest of the crew building (Or if they are not building at all) the building takes a longer time to finish.
It's a horrible metaphor, but I think it works.
