    I guess for a commoner accustomed to wear and tear being damaged wouldn't be all that abnormal, I mean if your fingers came off you would still be afraid of losing them but I don't think he would panic unless it appeared one was going to roll down a storm drain or something.

    By contrast a blue blood would be shocked and mortified by being damaged but not care if a finger fell down a drain, the finger itself wasn't worth picking up (assuming they can be bought) instead the concern is cosmetic, I imagine a blue blood would make a big deal of nursing the wound and making a fuss over how much it hurts, pretending that like one of our fingers it was something irreplaceable.

    Your mom has some pretty bad cheese, but I can't tell you where. Kiss and smel- I mean, tell, and all that.

    Tell me things! Catch me up on your life.

    They're biomechanical sex incarnate, what's not to like?

    Seriously though I think they're a personification of sexual stigma, the fears of pregnancy and bodily harm, skulking around in the dark murder/raping people, quite simply monsters straight out of a nightmare, and yet we kind of identify with them, it's a common theme in the Alien movies that no matter how bad these creatures are the people who want to use and control them are worse. So in a sick twisted sense they're actually endearing, we want to see the Alien do as it does because in some voyeuristic way we feel liberated by it, the Alien is a raw representation of our repressed naturally selfish sexualities, that's why we love and fear it, because deep down we're all Aliens too.

    We admire its purity.

    We need that smilely with the eyebrows that go up and down, you know the one, cheeky face or whatever.

    Did you ever get around to editing MoM? Ever? And yes, I'm spamming your wall because I can instead of just e-mailing you. Just pretend that all of these posts are making up for all the possible conversations we could have had, delightful and full of laughter and witticisms and snarkiness, if you hadn't ignored me so cruelly ):
    In any case. I felt up to the task of editing something, since you haven't supplied me with any Ali.
    Oh! But I never got to that last part, did I? I'll get right on it :O

    Found it.
    I just put "writer's forum" and "melkor" into google and lo and behold.
    The site is so messy. And confusing. And depressing! I can't figure out anything!
    I made an account, though. And I was going to say a little something on your profile - nice name, by the way - when I found out I couldn't.
    You just always ruin everybody's fun.
    speiss
    Well it turns out I couldn't find anything.
    But it was funny seeing MoM and Hathland pop up again. You were such an eager little beaver for feedback when you were 17. And when Lor told you to get a proper editor! Oh, what fun.
    The name of the forum is on the tip of my tongue.
    STOP SLEEPING AND TELL ME THE NAME OF IT FOR GOD'S SAKE. I'm going crazy!

    I'm trying to remember that writing forum you were talking about. It was called the ____ writer's forum, but for the life of me I can't remember it, so I hope you don't minding me trolling your posts on here until I find it, as I'm sure you were on both websites on the same time.
    Just giving an explanation as to why my name has popped up on "recent visitors" so you'll know exactly why I'm creeping!

    i daresay a titanium coated potato sack thrice padlocked and full of cobras is a much different situation. you see, the sack won't chase you to the ends of the earth just to destroy you. i doubt even the cobras will care very much.
    as for me and minnie.
    well.
    midgetry, trust me, will cease to matter >:

    oh, don't use a heart to try and weasel your way out of this.
    i'm going to send minnie after you.
    but her aim... won't be death :3

    And yes Middle Earth, :P though I live in the North Island. Most scenes of LOTR were shot in the South Island, with the mountains. That's where the hobbits live, sometimes they come down from the mountains and steal the rubber bits off of cars.

    I've noticed that trend as well, it's probably one of the reasons why female characters tend to be badly written or completely uninteresting.

    The guns, American pride and pretty women might very well be a recurring trope in the history of entertainment. I am not old enough to talk either (plus I don't actually watch Doctor Who >_>; ) but shallow entertainment back then would've been just as bad as the shallow entertainment of today...

    Considering both Nintendo and Sonny are Japanese companies, if anything, I would have thought the production of handhelds were simply because Japan appreciates handhelds more than Western countries.

    I certainly saw the creation of the Move and Kinect as ways to cash in on the casual audience that Nintendo picked up on, but it's a separate market from the usual gamers. Not so much a threat but an opportunity for profit.

    I had a friend who considered hardcore gamers to be those who played mature games.
    Would someone who played hundreds of hours of COD be considered a hardcore gamer? What about hundreds of hours of the Sims?

    I wish it wasn't such a subjective thing..

    Our standards on what is sexy have definitely changed, but I don't think that's why. From what little I know, the Doctor started off a lot older and has gotten progressively younger.
    A similar thing has happened in other media, country music was middle aged men, now it's Taylor Swift and co.

    I can't really consider myself either (What defines a hardcore gamer?) I certainly like games more than a casual gamer, but I don't get around to playing as much.
    I always thought the hate followed the logic of "these casual gamers don't appreciate the real good stuff." Similar to old fans of a band hating newer fans.

    I don't think casual gamers are harming the industry with cheap iOS games (indie devs finally get a chance that they wouldn't normally have), annual games and forced sequels are pretty bad for the industry, but both of these are also enjoyed by the hardcore gamer.

    New Zealand, so pretty close. It was cold for the beginning, but it's switched to hot for a week now.

    I thought I'd reply back for the sake of making friends, my bad, I've been busy with uni.

    I guess it's akin to Sherlock Holmes and other recent reincarnations of old IPs.
    It's not too bad though, is it? They might only take notice because of the view, but stay for other reasons entirely, similar to casual gamers. (It's curious as to why "hardcore gamers" hate "casual gamers")

    It's supposed to be winter here. Supposed to be.

    Master Chief has that deep resonating voice. He has that sexy figure of his.
