Didn't make me get one. I guess I could send you one, if someone doesn't beat me to it?

Yeah... there was a period when I was younger that I somehow progressed through part of FF6 while unconcious. Not really sure how, but I fell asleep playing and woke back up notably later further into the game. Was a bit strange.

As for day long roguelike binges... yeah. Yeah, been there, done that. Incursion♥

Women can do many things men can do. They can also give birth to babies. Not that I plan to.

GLORIOUS MAN BABIES
-wait, no you guys win that one.

For now. Just you folks wait, another handful of decades and mpreg becomes non-fiction.

Pretty sure women can too, if they really feel like it. Match tied, again.

I'm pretty certain at this point that I am completely immune to whatever it is that most people call "heavy-handedness".  I've learned to recognize what other people mean by it, but I don't feel it the way other people do.  In the case of Avatar, the things that make other people describe it as heavy-handed only make me feel that it was passionate about making its point, which I can actually appreciate.

I... I think heavy-handedness in this point means more like... clumsy. Kinda' like stepping into a story and seeing it's a Dances with Wolves/Smurfs crossover fanfic... set in SPAAAACE. That then just kinda' ham-handedly throws the plot points around and has kinda' unimpressive grammar and maybe fucks up world-building in places or something because dude, dude, you have to see this AWESOME THING! I can conditionally appreciate passion (when it doesn't get in the way of actually accomplishing what you're passionate about, anyway), but from what people who actually remember DwWs mention, Avatar's apparently about a skip and a jump from somewhat clumsy plagiarism.

Point being that maybe the point's a good point (I'd probably say it is), but if the expression of the point is distracting it can take away from things. E: Thinking on an analogy, I'd say it's sorta' like watching someone incredibly drunk attempt a symbolic fan dance or something (pick any physical expression that's supposed to be meaning laden when properly performed); you might get the message anyway but it's not going to be as clear or as meaningful as someone capable actually doing it sober.

Though personally, the whole social integration thing or whatever completely missed me. I didn't really get that out of the film, possibly because I internalized the sentiment when I was like six, I'unno. I was distracted by parts of the movie that were mind-bogglingly stupid (mainly techy parts, or areas where someone did something that incredibly poorly reasoned on a tactical/strategic level or something. Incompetent villains turn me off nowadays ).

Pretty but stupid is my one-line description for that movie.

Y'don't need conversation to have a good talk though...

Walls make pretty decent sounding boards, really. Cats are even better, because they're fuzzy and they purr.

[channeling]What's Korea got to do with th'middle east? S'too wet over there to be something a Bush would be helpful for invading.[/channeling]

Though I'm not sure if any the presidents still alive or their progeny would give a +1 bonus to East Asia Invasions. Or was Bush actually a penalty to Middle East Invasions? Ah, who knows.

Ah, unless you're talking about the evasion thing. Yeah, maybe a Bush would help in avoiding involvement.

Well, no. We're in a better position if we can molest the unicorn, but if we can't even do that we should be doing something more productive than ogling it, because ogling the invisible unicorn is somewhat useless. You can't see it, after all.
