Boo

Oh you, Katie.

The "Hide" button functions as a Delete button of sorts, so try that one! Other than that: Yo ho, welcome, Gaetzan!

At the very least we could join forces and create an insanely large Skype (for example) conference. This would also put everyone in the same location to talk about locations and schedules and stuff. Or is there a max to Skype conference participants?

I just realised it might be a good plan to first do like a test-run, to see if you can at all work with our material. <3~

[quote name='Shy' timestamp='1341690260' post='712145'] Cool! Maybe we could collaborate on a short comic or something. Send me some love, Boo, and we can write it together. - Shy [/quote]Oh yes, I will certainly send some love. Some love indeed. This seems like something more than worth my time. TO THE THINK-MOBILE! SHY GUY & BOO, GO! [img]http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs15/f/2007/080/0/8/Boo_x_Shy_Guy_1_by_GeoPyro.png[/img]

[b]Carol Birch[/b] - Jemrach's Menagerie. Finished in one go. Superbly written, engaging and funny and tragic and made me want to weep like a wee lad. Thanks to [member=DeathKnight] I just finished Perfect Day for Bananafish. It was written so naturally and realistically, and the amount of realism made it about surreal again. Great read, so thanks.

Any ideas for what kind of Graphic Novels you'd like to do? I really direly love your art and Shy and me happen to be excellent writers and idea creators.

[quote name='pooperson' timestamp='1340075196' post='712044'] [color=#0000cd]I don't think I ever posted that Mr. Maul & I broke up. Anyway, Hiiiii OB[/color] [/quote]I didn't even know you guys were officially "you guys", apart from "oh, you guys so crazy". Well. *confetti*

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. One huge level. Other than that, any real gamer [i]should definitely[/i] have played Max Payne's dream sequences before they die.

[quote name='Magus' timestamp='1339327159' post='711987']My issue with the look is that this "Dante" looked like he was some druggy, not to mention that this Dante just so happens to look almost like the head guy at Ninja Theory so I was definately not feeling this game, but then I got over the look and paid more attention to the way it plays and it actually looks like it can be a lot of fun. With that being said, I still feel that there was no need for a reboot. [/quote]I for one am glad they decided to ditch the white hair look for at least one game. It's pretty much one of the main reasons why I decided not to play the Witcher (2). Don't know why, but I can't stand main characters that have white hair like that. This character, however has a more European vibe to him that I could relate to more than some pseudo-albino. So for people like me who have decided never to play a DMC game, I guess a reboot makes sense. Not that [i]I[/i] will play it now, because the entire story and everything is probably still balls, but still.

ME3 is coming out for Wii U, along with a roast of other games. I think it's pretty cool how Nintendo uses the Wii U to be less exclusive in its game selection. I hope they will make good use of the tablet because it can serve some great RPG supporting purposes, as well as the combat hub or whatever. Up until now I haven't been impressed with what Nintendo has come up with themselves for the tablet though. :(

I want E3 2012 to have new infos about Beyond Good & Evil 2, Half Life 3 and Doom 4. :( But as for stuff that's more likely to come around, I am interested in Borderlands 2. Hopefully they'll manage to take all the good stuff from the game and then add some more playability to it. Plus, this wub wub trailer did a lot for me.

[quote name='Shy' timestamp='1337880346' post='711870'] I think writers want to know there is a strong central idea behind an RPG before joining. If your sign-up is too vague on the plot points then the initial posts always seem to suffer. Conversely you don't want to have everything planned out in complete detail because you're denying the other writers a chance to make their mark on the story. [...] Someone needs to steer the ship, but that doesn't mean everyone needs to be rowing at the same time?[/quote]I think that's all pretty much true for most people, 'cept those who do not like it when others are in control too much. Different topic altogether. How long do you usually take to write a [b]DYNAMIC STORY[/b] post? And a thread? I remember quite vividly how my last posts in all [b]DYNAMIC STORIES [/b]I was in probably took me a few hours, even when the post was tiny. Writing my opening post for Bomber in Oceanus was great because I tuned the writing exactly to the song and my own reading speed, and then I needed a background picture that would fit exactly, so I needed to tune that too. Lots of tuning. I like tuning. I had a character that inspired me, and a concept I loved. Combination of music and kick-ass. The only problem is that after that first post, I could not think of something quite as epic, so I wanted to start from 0 again to give me some time for a next big music break, but for some reason all anyone could come up with was that we were under attack constantly, lololololol. I feel like continuing that now.

Is there any way to work on the ignore list? I can still see status updates and comments on those by people I ignore. Those are the worst. I can't seem to find a button to "ignore thread" either, which would be really helpful especially in the Theatre. I lately started keeping track of there again, but most of the new posts are just in threads I don't give a Tinky Winky about. Plus, I also see on the front page when they post (in) threads. I think for this reason, I am leaving OB for good.

So if you want to be kept busy I could easily think up more things I would really like to see like [url="http://www.otakuboards.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=15256"]Lyndy[/url] as a [url="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/left4dead/images/thumb/1/15/Boomer-artwork.gif/410px-Boomer-artwork.gif"]Boomer[/url] or an other Left 4 Dead infected zombie, or maybe even more I'd love to see a [url=http://www.otakuboards.com/index.php?/topic/40794-i-forgot-what-you-people-look-like-image-heavy/page__st__980#entry709238]chibi-master[/url] dressed up like a Pikachu, holding a giant bazooka or something similarly huge and destructive (and a black cat Allamorph by her side). Or a [url="http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/531314_3836178347307_1363436966_33570882_34347921_n.jpg"]Korey[/url] dressed up as a [url="http://cdn2.mixrmedia.com/wp-uploads/ningin/blog/2011/05/top-big-bang.gif"]T.O.P.[/url] Cowboy. I was so inspired by your amazing Shinmaru tacoballattack that I've decided we need more horrible OB Parody stories.

[quote name='Shinmaru' timestamp='1337815700' post='711865'] Wow. [/quote]Dodgetaco Shinmaru. For you, made by otakuuu on my request. Because we love you.

... I thought the Almagest was just one thing that went on for too long, but the latest one is a sequel? Wow. What would you do differently next time to hand back the freedom? And would you give more or less freedom still than the first episode?

[quote name='otakuuu' timestamp='1337794283' post='711860'] [img]http://i47.tinypic.com/2yyccxl.jpg[/img] here it is! (: hope you and Shinmaru like it..xD [/quote] yesyesyesyesyes

[font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]I like this thread. I just don't like that I have to ctrl+scroll to read stuff, but still. I find this thread fascinating. [b]DYNAMIC STORIES[/b]. I still think that's an amazing name to describe what I think would be the ultimate "rpgs". My opinion has only slightly changed over the last five years. I still think the Ultimate Dynamic Story would have the best writers working on it, and I will want to quote the line by LiamC (omfg, old times) "Let me just say that, to a writer, having your work fluidly expanded upon...such things can only be described as [i]delicious[/i]." This is so amazingly true. I think the best feeling in the world is to be utterly impressed by something, and it's even more delicious if you are utterly impressed by what others can do with [i]your [/i]work. However, hardly anything sucks more for a writer than having [i]your[/i] work, your blisters, sweat and tears, be butchered by a next person who picks up your character or story completely wrongly, and messes your thing up. So [i]best writers[/i] does not necessarily refer to your control of grammar or spelling (though it helps), but mainly on your creative input and empathetic ability to feel the story and characters and help guide them to a story of amazingness. Unless the right click is there, I will either not want to participate in the story at all, or at the most have a mainly individual story thing going on, the kind stories such as Korey's [b]Otaku Sin City [/b]allowed. I have learned as well over time that the [i]epic climax [/i]I was preferably looking for in my old post is not necessarily epic in the regular sense, that it is big or anything. Epic climaxes can very well be tiny, even purely psychological, or a single small gesture. One thing I have noticed I do not enjoy at all in [b]DYNAMIC STORIES[/b] is when the one who started the thing wants ultimate control over where the story's headed, unless they run the story by the rest of the crew, but that would make it a democratic thing after all. It pisses me off at several levels when people say "This is a bit of the story, but the rest is in my head and you will find out what happens during the story." The best thing that can happen is a collaborate flow of creative energies and stuff, not some steered thing when people who join can just show off their writing skills, but have no control whatsoever over any bit of the story except for the character background. That's even less than an RPG. I joined an RP like that this year and did not enjoy the lack of freedom at all, even though the setting, the world, of the RP was inspiring. so yeah. I think a way to prevent yourself from being a control freak over your [b]DYNAMIC STORIES[/b] would be to not use a story that you have already completely cooked up for everyone in your head, preferably one without given characters that you thought up, and only a hunch of where you want to lead the story. HOWEVER, some people can have huge ideas already and still be chill about what people do to their stories. I think it's a lot easier when you feel the story is in good hands anyway. Hence the [i]best writers[/i] part. Other people who posted here still active enough to reflect? Any others? Plz. I have picked up writing again and would very much like to know people's thoughts and experiences, and maybe we'll even create some amazing new story as a result of this. [/font]

I have to heehee every time I scroll past [member=Allamorph]'s disagree-baby. Btw speaking of pistachios: Pistachio ice cream yes please. Speaking of ice cream: Snickers® ice cream "ahhmagawd"yes.

Mostly melons. I like melons.

Awesome idea. The backstory of the Beholders could be more buffed up, them being aliens who have come to reap the human race before they evolve too far, (lol, Mass Effect) but like Orcus I'm having an Eternal Darkness reference in my head, which is ace because Eternal Darkness is a gem. Actually I think illness could play a cool role, as warfare comes with injury and injury causes infections and stuff.
