Re: Harbingers

Will you be using the roleplay system or sticking to the standard message board as usual? I have no preference anymore, but I was just wondering.

Kuro, it will be awesome to have a fellow Scholar aboard.

Re: From the Ashes

Well, I'm doing fairly well. How about you? I officially graduated on Saturday. I've also been accepted to San Jose State University's Master of Justice Studies program starting in the fall. If I can just find a decent job this summer (much easier said than done in California) and force myself into ...

Re: Creative Writing Thingy

No worries; I just don't want the original author to accidentally find negative criticism where there isn't any. As an author, I do precisely the same thing. I'm always thinking about how I would have written a paragraph or line differently, even when reading works which should be considered masterp...

Re: Creative Writing Thingy

I think you misread my comments. I like the sporadic nature of it as well, but that doesn't meant it couldn't use a little revision.

Re: Harbingers

I don't have time to read every word at the moment, but after a cursory examination I can tell you I'm interested in joining you. Before I fully commit myself I want to see how my community workshop RP turns out on terms of player count. That will be going up in the next week or so. As always, I am ...

Re: From the Ashes

No worries. Pessimism is the heart of humanity. Most of the time. Life sucks and then you die, right? Anyway, you might be interested to know that Innistrad is about as close to Castlevania as you can get. It's not a "Magic-ified" horror universe; it is based entirely on the classic tropes...

Re: From the Ashes

SCORPIA's new theme song, according to David. I am okay with this.

Re: From the Ashes

Well, thanks a lot for that. That's pretty much everything I wanted to know about it, considering I've already seen some videos of the graphics and what not. And I agree. Fuzzing gorgeous. I didn't think Nintendo had it in them, considering the Wii and the original DS. As for the main character, isn...

Re: From the Ashes

Sorry to hear you aren't doing so well, Alex. But I'm glad you're enjoying Kid Icarus. After seeing Game Informer's mediocre review of it I was disheartened that it might end up being a disappointment for you, but it's good to know it wasn't. Does it perhaps support the add-on extra circle pad? If i...

Re: From the Ashes

It certainly taught me how not to rely on my powers. Invisibility eats up energy like nobody's business. My real problem was that it took a whole energy cell to punch a guy in the face. The rest I could deal with but that was just too frustrating. You know, I have a window of about five seconds to c...

Re: From the Ashes

Aw man, DXHR. What an epic game. Loved it from beginning to end. And I get to love it at least two more times, too, thanks to the multiple endings and multiple styles of play. That's what she said. Ahem. Anyway, what sort of Adam Jensen did you build? I went for straight stealth with nonlethal taked...

Re: From the Ashes

I hope so, too. I've seen some early gameplay and it looks to be roughly the same as the last couple titles, but with any luck everything will be polished to a sheen. My only beef with MGS4 is that, for me, it had relatively little replay value. My first time through, I loved it. It was gripping, su...

Re: In need of a Fighting Game project plot

Just as a precursory twopence, a tournament isn't the only way to approach a fighting game. That's the way Tekken does it every time, and if you go down that route your game is likely to simply be regarded as uninspired. When you think about it, almost any story in which the characters fight each ot...

Re: Creative Writing Thingy

It's too bad that this has gone nearly a week with no reply, because I think there's certainly something here. My immediate reaction is intrigue. Whatever it is you've got going on here, it succeeded in capturing my attention. The first paragraph, about the silence, actually reminded me of the refra...

Re: [OOC] From the Ashes

Ah, welcome back! I'm happy you had a good time. As you can see, not much has changed 'round these parts, so you won't have any significant catching up to do. Also, Eikou is still absent from the IC (though she assures us she still exists, which is nice) so there's no rush in updating. It's good to ...

Re: The Official "I'm Leaving" Thread

Always a pleasure, Sax. I will look forward to your return, and I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your geographical and life transitions. I know how difficult they are, and I do not envy you the process, but I hope the end result is a marvelously enjoyable life.

Re: [OOC] From the Ashes

As far as I know they are in Winhill. We did not specifically mention them coming along, but it's possible Alex meant for them to be with us. So far they haven't showed their presence on the ship, so it probably makes the most sense to have them still in the town. Zavier should probably arrive withi...

Re: [IC] From the Ashes

Elia crossed to the forefront of the bridge and stared out at the horizon, crossing her arms and watching Timber grow ever-closer. "I'm guessing SCORPIA still has a presence in the area. Kryse's plan to draw them off was good, but they aren't idiots. I'll bet we won't find him strutting around ...
