Maybe it got tired of being a prisoner...

It was raised in the zoo so it's not like it wanted to see the wilds.
Still that's kinda sad. Probably the whole olympic torch ordeal agitated her.

I found this trailer today and started being hyped about this. But then suddenly I took a closer look and realized freaking Shoji Kawamori was one of the people shown playing the demo and am now speechless in the best way.

Well you'd expect a guy who makes a living drawing mecha to have some interest in them and the game devs would be stupid not to include him playing their game in the trailer ;P

Best description of monopoly.

Now I just need to find a suitable way to describe scrabble

It's the same crap as TVT potholing: being so boring, unoriginal, and linguistically incompetent that you feel the need to link to a marginally related web page in order to describe something.

But what if you link to allthetropes, though?

Same behavior, fewer underlying ethical issues. It's dumb because it's lazy and unhelpful, not because the TVT staff are assholes and the userbase is composed largely of a foul mixture of [REDACTED].

No spiderbot that transforms into a ball, 0/10, will not play.

... more seriously, it does almost look like metal warriors meets smash brothers. I can dig it, even though that lack of spinning spiderbot (or some sort of equivalent) is unfortunate.

So a long time ago I watched a movie Shallow Hal. The movie is about a guy who through hypnosis (frankly magic hypnosis) he only sees people like how they are on the inside (and of course beautiful people are all horrible people!)

If there is one thing I kind of like about the movie was that everyone he knew before that hypnosis looks... Like themselves. Regardless of how malicious or saintly they were before.

Why? Because he knows them intimately, to him... There is no difference between their inside and outside, they are themselves.

Also... what can i say... i like assigning hats ;P

No man can wear only one hat.

I started watching Mr. Pickles yesterday.
Somehow it sucked me in despite seeming so incredibly stupid. Felt like it was giving me cancer and killing my brain cells at the same time, but still I was laughing. Now I'm hooked. Need to get my hands on the second season. It's amazing.

[TheBiggerFish]

I don't know whether to ask or to run away screaming.

[Yoink]

Probably both.

Or you could just watch the first episode! Unfortunately it isn't free on Youtube. The pilot is, though!

... playing game. Javelin, some roguelike-ish thing that's attempting stuff like party based gameplay and city building and whatnot. Some neat stuff. WTF comes from the start, though. Your initial choice is just of race. Buncha' choices, standard fantasy fair, orcs, drow, elves, gnomes, etc., etc. And one thing that stands out. Not just in not being humanoid nor nominally sapient nor capable of talking under normal circumstances. But also being what is, as near as I can tell after a few goes, pretty much the hands-down absolute best starting choice, head and shoulders above anything else on the list. >Double the HP of the other races, two +3 attacks (about the best something else can manage is orcs with a single +3), generally capable of moving at least 2-3 spaces more than everything else. The only downside-ish is that they don't have a ranged attack, which... isn't really that big of a deal.

And so my newly optimized starting party now consists of Ponyup, Saytheeneigh, Haystack, and Cud. Four war ponies, somehow having gained control over a town*, now adventuring together. Because any one of them could probably kick the collective ass of any non-pony-included starting team I could construct.

... game, I kinda' like what you're trying to do. But. You may have some balance issues. Just one or two or fifty or so.

*I guess they had a nero and then the newly appointed consuls ate him, after which the town's population decided to roll with it instead of arguing with the small herd of man eating equines?

[TheBiggerFish]

Yup, that's WTFery all right.

[BlackHeartKabal]

it's nice to have an idea of what behavior you're facing, but re-applying pictures that could be seen as labels towards other people, rather than calling out their attitude and how they act instead, can be a cause for misunderstandings in itself.

It's a way to skirt around the potential conflict in directly challenging someone's attitude. A general description of what I currently see someone's words as in a format more clear and assertive than what I say provokes more introspection than either extreme of my potential response (trying to appeal to emotions/empathy or succinctly telling someone "your attitude is awful and this is why"). It's also humorous, it's not like an Internet argument is going to change anyone's ideals, might as well find some humor in something as innately stressful as an argument.

[Putnam]

If that's your goal, you completely missed the mark. It directly challenges attitude while simultaneously seeming utterly dismissive.

[BlackHeartKabal]

Well, I'm going to be dismissed ASAP anyway regardless of what I say, this way it's at least entertaining at the start. Nobody enters an argument prepared to change their view, they enter one to defend it. You see my point?
