    WRECK-IT RALPH YEEEE

    So much potential. Shooting minigames. Retro arcade minigames. Racing minigames WHICH THEY ALREADY DID IN BbS SO THERE'S A PRECEDENT. All those beautiful landscapes. Save point in Vanellope's hideout. Big climactic boss fight. Yessss.

    Y'know what'd be funny? If she had a trail of hair leading all the way out to the skybox, where it was drawn on the background.

    Pff hey c'mon, usually they only do it in between games or at the end of one/start of another. If they straight-up had his Nobody pose as a body double it might be kinda cool.

    Ooh, very nice. Love the attention to detail, and the little bonus towards the end, haha. Only thing I noticed was, I don't believe 'munny' has an E. But it's such a small thing, everything else was spot-on.

    "They're trapped. Key... I need the key."

    Trapped... Who's trapped? Where? Didn't really matter, he was gonna save them anyway. And that shining thing he saw must've been the key. So the kid got zapped reaching for it. If they wanted to get it, they'd need an insulator... Something to cover their arm. Jenn's brow furrowed; he wished he'd paid more attention in class. Work with what you know, he thought to himself. Electricity is basically heat, so... What insulates heat?

    His eyes wandered to the blanket draped over Ethan. He took a fistful of it and rubbed it between his fingers. Rough and fuzzy... Wool.

    Sorry, need this back, he said, and then whipped up the blanket. He ripped it in half, tied one piece tight around his neck and pulled it up over his mouth, then fashioned the other into a... glove, of sorts. It covered his arm up to the sleeve. Then he turned to Aeron. Take Ethan to the others, then come back with a blanket, do this to it (He pointed to his face) and wait outside the door. If you hear a shock, come get me.

    holy fRICKAFRACK I DIDN'T NOTICE THE EYES MOVING ON THE FIFTH ONE 'TIL I ZOOMED IN. YEEZUS.

    Clicked the link and oh my goodness there are so many of them. They are quite lovely, but I think the stuff you showed is some of the best. Only thing I'll say is the backgrounds on the first two look a little wonky? Second one less so but the splotch of light yellow on the first one seems abrupt. Maybe solid colors or a texture overlay would help that a bit.

    Everyone at the Atlus office wants to be a bird
    True, but maybe in lieu of that they'll have a chance to flesh out Tartarus a little more. The setting would make for some great scenery porn.

    Spoilers

    This is my spoiler code:
    • Each version of a story counts as a separate entity in terms of spoilers.
    • When writing about them, they should be hidden if they are less than a year old; after that, a short warning should suffice.
    • If I'm about to discuss spoilers verbally or by chat, I ask if anyone will mind.
    That's how I behave towards others. I, on the other hand, don't give a rip about spoilers, and in fact sometimes I ask for them before I commit to experiencing something; I can get excited for an event from a simple description of it, and it helps me evaluate if the twist is sheer shock value or not or if I'll appreciate the message. Any plot that can be spoiled mustn't have been that good to begin with.

    AND YET YOU WOULDN'T ASK WHAT PRONOUN THEY PREFER /brick'd

    ...created by Skyler Page, who is a former storyboard artist for the Cartoon Network series Adventure Time and storyboard revisionist for Secret Mountain Fort Awesome. Page, inspired by the likes of David Byrne, Mark Twain, Alexander Payne and Mike White, developed the series at Cartoon Network Studios in 2012 as part of their animated short development initiative. The series marks the fourth graduate of the CalArts to receive a show on the network.

    The series revolves around a young boy named Clarence, who is optimistic about everything, as well as his friends, Jeff and Sumo.... He is the new kid at Prescott School in Prescott, AZ and in an attempt to make friends, invited all of his classmates to a sleepover. Jeff and Sumo are the only ones to show up, but he's happy with just them anyway.

    ~Wiki


    Anybody else catch the premiere yesterday? I wasn't expecting to be that into the show but it's actually pretty charming.

    Mmm, maybe. I dunno. If the heart is sapience and the mind is sentience, a body can operate without a heart... but without a mind? It adds up in the sense that this is how MX controls Terra's body, but it's less plausible for a body to simply act on its own. A true and complete husk, animate and active. It deserves discourse, I think.

    Her brain is still developing. Most kids don't seriously comprehend all of that at that age unless someone close to them was involved. Also, she's Dutch! She doesn't know what an airline's gonna do to her. Anyway, there are better ways to handle it than a full-on arrest; how about having some of the people who lost loved ones in those crashes message her and tell how funny they think it is? Or how about some of the things you suggested, like keeping her off the internet?

    Um... She's an idiot teenager. It's plain as day. Chrissakes, she didn't even use proper punctuation! It's one thing to take security seriously and quite another to mindlessly pursue every mention of a bomb or foreign organization. In fact all it really does is wear their resources and awareness thin for when a real threat emerges. They look like shuddering chihuahuas barking at shadows.

    I might ask my stepdad if he's heard of this, since he flies for American, though I have a feeling we'd be at odds on it.

    Man, sounds like you just had a bad streak. I know, it's hard to hear, but sometimes that's the way the dice fall. The first girl made a big mistake, the second was just cruel, and the third... Well... Sometimes people just get stuck. They're not sure if they should feel this way or that way, if they should hold out hope for somebody or move on, and it's tough and pretty awkward to communicate that stuff to someone else. It gives the impression you're not committed to them—which probably would've hurt you, since it's happened several times. But in the end her indecision probably hurt you worse. These are the mistakes we make when we care.

    Anyway, I've been a similar situation, and because of that I think you already know if you're doing anything wrong. It's all in the little gestures, things that would be too hard and take too long to explain, but deep down you usually know when you've made a misstep. And if you don't know, or you think you're being paranoid, you can always ask for feedback from your partner. The truly hard part is using that constructively, rather than letting it weigh you down with guilt and self-hate. Don't be too hard on yourself—In all likelihood you've got a lot to offer and you just haven't found somebody who's buying. Nobody starts off as a prize catch, you've gotta work on it.

    The best thing you can do outside of a relationship is find other priorities. The busier you are, the more you do and the more passionate you are about things, the more likely you are to attract someone. The best thing while you're in a relationship is not to get in your way too much, and what I mean by that is: If you get the urge to do things like kiss, cuddle, get her gifts, honestly just let it rock. Unless it's something you legitimately don't like about yourself and you wanna change it for your own sake, because to keep up the relationship you'll just have to keep fighting them, and it'll tire you out. Your partner will discover you're not the person you've made yourself out to be, and the whole thing will start to crumble. Find someone you like for who they are and who likes you for who you are—I know, herculean task, but with things like this you go hard or you go home.

    Those words are everywhere in our lives: at school when our peers say they know what it's like, on the lips of frustrated parents doling out a lecture. They loom over some of us and excite others. For some people they're a status symbol, for others a condemnation.

    So what do they mean to you? Are they good, bad, or neither? How do you know if somebody's mature, or if they're "acting like an adult?" What is "growing up," and is it something you look(ed) forward to?

    • Krowley - 8 (hyuge-of-the-twilight, Cat~, Princess ♥, Bite the Dust, DigitalAtlas, Cstar, . : tale_wind, mystic)
    • Marushi - 1 (Jiku Neon)
    . . .



    Not eager to repeat the preceding day's events, this time you come to a swift and decisive conclusion. Your lynchee, seemingly lost in a fog, doesn't manage to say a thing. Perhaps you're doing him a service: Now, rather than have nothing between his ears, he's got a bullet.

    Krowley has been lynched. He was Cameron "Crooknose" Mathers, the town drunk. No one is really sure how he got in—not even him—but it looks like he's getting out in a body bag. He was aligned with the Town, and had no special abilities.

    Poor guy never knew what hit him. A bittersweet conclusion; he wasn't one of them, but he hadn't been much help in finding them. With that done, you all decide to turn in early.
