It is. I tried it once. The taste of woad, Pictish blood, and shimmering tartans flowed down my throat. I grew three beards that day.

Throughout this entire ordeal, Fatime wanted to scream out. For once in her life, she felt the floor collapse beneath her, but her fall into the poisonous black void was something that she could not simply comprehend. And she could not say a word because of it.

They killed them. She killed them. She took a life -- a life! How? How could she face them? The others? They didn't know anything. But she did it! She killed someone. She killed four people. Four people she had known for a few years, even if she didn't speak to them as-- as much--
She could barely move. All of her limbs felt numb, and the feeling in her body seemed alien. It was all unreal. It had to be, they couldn't be dead so quickly. Were the effects temporary? Please, please ... No. No, it didn't have to be like this ...

In times of great stress, Fatime would try and read through her novels. A way to escape the harsh realities that stood around her. But today, there was something at the back of her mind that prevented her from even focusing on the words on the screen. Something horrific. Something eldritch.

And her mind slowly began to comprehend.
Her eyes widened, and her fingers tightened white. The dawn of the horrific beast that lay upon her shadow began to rise from the earth, as she slowly came to her realizations.

No ...

No ...

(( OOC: I want to write an effective Fatime emotion post when I am not feeling extremely sick, so this is the preliminary ))

It certainly takes the term latte to another level, I suppose.

Welcome to the Spam Zone, where this is never a surprise.

Shhh shhh now, my little children. All is well. We must be peaceful towards each other before the flames burst and engulf everything again. *closes eyes and soothingly places hands on foreheads*

The Noise ate all of mine.

Po po shut us down, down.

A sky-high budget does not equal a good movie. It simply equals an expensive movie!

This is a similar argument to the "used games prevent good games" argument, where less revenue somehow equals a lower quality game. While it is understandable that audiences are generally looking for good effects and the like, and it would not be completely sound to compare game budgets to movie budgets, many movies that have lower budgets than expensive ones do just as well from time to time.

As a personal example, let us compare the King's Speech and Transformers 2. The King's Speech was made with a budget of about eight million pounds, while Transformers 2 was made with about 127 million pounds (converted from dollars). Now, Transformers 2 was indeed an enormous commercial box office success, by all accounts. However, the King's Speech, with its lower budget, still managed to gather quite a bit of revenue (almost thirty times its original budget, with approximate conversions), plus many, many awards. Yes, it is a strange example, and I believe that both movies have their merits, demerits, and definitely reasons why people watch them, but the point of this is to explain that a movie like the King's Speech, with such a smaller budget, can still be wonderful.

(For further reference, if we do wish to get into ratings which I am always very wary about, the King's Speech is a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, while the more expensive Transformers 2 is a 20%, however it would still be inaccurate to call Transformers 2 a failure or objectively terrible because these are just critics' opinions, and people can make their own.)

So no, I respectfully disagree with Lucas and Spielberg. Although I can understand, with both directors working with big-budget pictures involving quite a bit of work put into them (at least Spielberg at this day and age, anyhow). If anything, the trends seem to be that these budgets at least are generally paid off by the box office successes, if I am understanding things correctly.

The Nintendo systems seem to result in fickle reactions from the third-party developers more and more as the generations continue, due to the extensive presence of Nintendo's first-party games, so they claim. From a few of the previous articles I had read, they seemed very ambivalent about continuing with the Wii U but I suppose this puts the situation to a temporary (and unfortunate) rest.

Oh EA, how I miss when you were not like this.

The rest of the world seems more inclined towards kilometers.

Thank you for your time, everyone! I attempted to stuff together as many plots as possible. Pat yourself on the back, Spam Zone.

Presumably so. These ideas come through with a wave of attempting to move the industry forward with measures that depend on a nigh-complete digitization, with the result being cracking down on profiting off of places one can profit from while removing any other minor possibility of fund diversions and the such. The Xbox One is essentially a console that attempts to focus on markets via top-down control rather than the more bottom-up consumer control and freedom that we are used to and prefer (though it can be argued that consoles in general are inclining towards the top-down). It was not necessarily the wisest of business decisions in an industry where gradual transitions work better than immediate black-and-white changes. The obsession over control results in a very restrictive, anti-consumer atmosphere, which is why everyone is slinging stones at the One like it is a slab of rotting Icelandic shark meat buried in the sand for six months.

You were supposed to keep this a secret. Where am I going to stuff the bodies now?!

You are implying that the whole world does not love America and its many holidays! How un-American of you! The bald eagles gently weep tears of apple pie.

I have been summoned. ​

Now now, the Spam Zone can be a wonderful place. There is much humour to find there, and at this point, Beatle has already taken his visits. The Spam Zone is a jack of all trades where you can find quite a bit of anything. Think of it like the souk, medina, or agora of our lovely forum. Fights are less frequent than they were before, I should say, and though the people all have the taste of bitter lemons in their mouth from time to time they are all wonderful and kind-hearted. Just a bit cynical and blunt, a few of them. But if you are on the forum then it would be hard-pressed to find someone who is purely, unrealistically optimistic after three years!

I have already welcomed you Beatle, but again to you I say, welcome, welcome! Your name and avatar made me consider obsessing over the Beatles again for a bit. Do you have a few favourite songs, perhaps?

Final Fantasy is a selection of cheeses. Some are tough, some leave a mild flavour, some are stinky or moldy. All of the preferences depend on you as an individual.

While I appreciate the attempts at trying to move the industry forward, Microsoft is certainly going about it the wrong way and alienating consumers heavily in the process.
