Quote: Quote: Truth is stranger than fiction. Eerily.Quote: Thankfully, my career and hobbies both combine to keep me well insulated from reality.That's a good life aim. Quote: Quote: Game developers are a spiteful bunch.Quote: And may have too much time on their hands.Quote: If only that were true. Since it's not an abundance of time, it's clearly due to a lack of sense of priorities.I put it down to a lack of discipline in young people. Flogging is the answer. Quote: Quote: I applaud their determination to make the day a little bit crappier for the corporation that ate their lives.Quote: It's an odd relationship between gamers and game designers. You give them something to entertain them, and they instantly set out to try and break it as thoroughly as they can.It's the classic parent-child relationship in e-form. Quote: Quote: Fun fact: back around 2003 I wrote a PVB series featuring the Jaggernath boys coming to Paradopolis and getting involved in the criminal underworld. I got as far as issue three or four then never went back to it.Quote: Interesting indeed. It might be fun to see as a glimpse of the PV that almost was, but I certainly understand how those kinds of things get cannibalized for other stories.Perhaps I'll dig it up. I went back to it a couple of times and tried to update it to different PVB eras, but in the end I'd explored a similar storyline elsewhere and I couldn't commit to what would require quite a lot more chapters to make good. Quote: Maybe he'd been licking other ponies? Quote: I think only strippers have that much body glitter on, and I'm pretty sure there's some kind of "no licking" policy at those places.You're clearly going to the wrong strip places. Quote: Quote: Quote:I'm confused though... if unicorns have to be virgins themselves, then where do new unicorns come from? Or does this explain why they aren't around any longer? Quote: I actually had that bit of dialogue discussion in there but cut it because it delayed the pacing just too much.Quote: Oh, sure... the story flows better, but you've left your impressionable audience to find out where unicorns come from via gossip on the street. That's not doing them any service.I'm sure your illustrated guide can't be far behind. The Joy of Unicorns? Quote: Quote: Quote:Honestly, the fact that Rabito was allowed to use that attack should have been enough alone for Vinnie to rule against the game world. Quote: Having seen some of the fan modifications for Oblivion I'd say this was pretty mild.Quote: I could never get into Oblivion, and now I'm suddenly thankful.A colleague showed me - in his workplace - the Oblivion hentai modifications. Quote: Alex and I celebrated Hallowe'en this year by watching Lesbian Vampire Hunters. It's a fairly good comedy that wouldn't be out of place in the PVB. Watch it if you get a chance.Quote: Interesting title, surely. So are they lesbians hunting vampires, or hunting lesbian vampires? I'm actually fine with either one, unless the vampires are being hunted specifically for being lesbians. Then it's a hate crime.The vampires are lesbians. The gay werewolf only appears in the final seconds of the movie. Drawing upon the 60s and 70s Hammer shlock genre which had things like Vampire Lovers and Twins of Evil, this story features two hapless young men and a minibus full of zaftig exchange student folklorists spending the night at Mircalla Cottage, former home of the legendary vampire queen Carmilla. Although the vampire herself was banished centuries ago, her lesbian undead followers await her return by the spilled blood of the last heir of the man who defeated her and a pure virgin - both of whom happen to be at the cottage now. The movie follows Hammer in presenting many underwired-nightdress-wearing vampiresses, plus the obligatory one who was snatched from her shower scene and doesn't even get a nightie. Yet despite this and the movie's name, it remains a fairly harmless comedy with no worse nudity than any teen campus movie and less sex. In the UK it was classfied as being for 15+ viewing at cinemas. Quote: I suppose either way it's a hate crime against vampires too, but after the Twilight series you can hardly expect otherwise.In these politically corect times we have to make up minorities to hate without guilt. I don't know if you'll get a chance to see it across the pond, but watch out for a 6-part BBC series called The Fades, a rather low-key horror/fantasy story about what happens when the "ascention gateways" that channel dead spirits off Earth are closed and the ghosts learn that eating flesh makes them solid again. Recommended. Quote: Quote: Nice to flex the PVB writing muscles occasionally.Quote: I think mine might have been amputated. I'm pretty sure there's only a phantom pain when I try to flex them. However, I've found I can rattle off a little scene now and then, so that's a start on regenerating them.Proceed. | |||||||
