The color personality test at colorquiz.com is short and pretty fun. My results seemed pretty accurate. Also, I totally made a Pottermore account just to see which house I'd "officially" be put into, which I guess was accurate. I liked that one because the questions they give you aren't totally obvious as to which house you're leaning towards, thus preventing your inner 11-year-old self from picking Gryffindor every time.

I see, thank you. I didn't even realize an open BoE existed.

I believe that might stand for old Blades of Exile or original Blades of Exile, the first scenario creation game Jeff released based on the Avernum series.

Bless! I'd been relying on maps from the old Avernum 2, which weren't always accurate. It's great to have fresh ones, thank you!!

Well, Phoenix isn't really that close to the Colorado Plateau, but Arizona is one of the states that makes up the four corners, so I'm gonna go with that one?

The Babadook (2014) is a low budget horror movie that is actually excellent and suspenseful. Continuing Juan Carlo's mention of French horror films from the early 2000s, Haute Tension (2003) has a lot of, well... tension and a whole lot of gore. In fact I think most of the movie had to get edited out because it was so gross and extreme. (I, personally, thought it was awful but I mean if you want horrible movie reccomendations...) Last Shift (2014) is a pretty fun bloody horror movie. The ultimate horrible story/terrible dialogue low budget awfulness, though, goes to WolfCop (2014). Just... WolfCop.

I've worked in a restaurant for years and, let me assure you, it is indeed possible for an excess of ranch dressing to become a thing of nightmares. This video makes me want to crawl into the Mariana Trench and never rejoin ranch-loving human society

I feel The Almighty Doer of Stuff is right in that one should worry about their own life and whether they're satisfied. As long as that satisfaction doesn't arise from causing harm to other people around you, of course. I can't imagine that your friend is very happy on the inside.

1. Name one song that makes you feel really, really happy. Time, As a Symptom by Joanna Newsom always makes me feel happy in a steady way. The lyrics "the moments of your greatest joy sustains/ not axe nor hammer, tomb or tremor, can take it away/ And it remains. It remains." reminds me that no matter what hardships I go through in the future, nothing can take away the good experiences I've had with friends and loved ones. The whole song is a joyful experience really. 2. Name one song that helped you get through a difficult period of your life, or still does. Blinding by Florence and the Machine helped me get through an abusive relationship. It perfectly captures how alive I felt after I got out and how miserable that person had been making me feel. 3. Name one song that makes you feel calm and serene. Bridges and Balloons by Joanna Newsom makes me feel pretty cozy. It's like the feeling of reading a dreamy fantasy book before bed, captured in a song. I love the little Narnia reference in it. 4. Name one song that you associate strongly with a good memory. Say My Name by Odesza reminds me of a really good summer I had in NY one year. Specifically sitting in my cousin's car with the sunroof open watching the stars whiz by with the bass cranked up, and Times Square at night with all the signs and neon lights lit up. 5. Name one song which resonates with a character trait you want to encourage in yourself. Inflammatory Writ by Joanna Newsom is about overcoming writer's block with ambition and determination, which are two qualities I try to maintain when I get bogged down by writer's block. 6. Name one song that you find really interesting on a compositional level. (Lyrics, chord structure, sound effects, timbre of instruments, etc.) RIP Burn Face by Cocorosie has so much going on in it that it's a joy to listen to even though the subject matter is melancholy. The Black Session recording of this song (which was only ever uploaded to youtube I think) is especially good. 7. Name one song that you didn't like at first, that you eventually came to really enjoy. I would always skip over Only Skin in Joanna Newsom's album Ys because the song is 17 minutes long and it seemed to drag. I wound up listening to it on a road trip through rural CT and I realized it was an excellent song, and now it's one of my favorites. I practically know the lyrics by heart. *. Say something positive that happened in your life today I hung out with my best friend, put some money in the bank, bought some fancy makeup I'd been wanting for a while and had hot jasmine tea with some fresh cookies. A cozy afternoon so far.

Same, it took me months to beat A3 when I was a kid, mostly because I spent a great deal of time wandering the outdoors and looking for all sorts of isolated places and little quests. Also I was kind of incompetent when it came to building balanced characters so it took me a long time to defeat plagues. I kept getting rekt at the Keep of Tinraya. I'd love to play it again but I only have an iPad so I'm waiting around for the remake. Out of all the Spiderweb games I've played recently, I think I've spent the most time in the A2 remake. It feels pretty massive. Can't remember if the original E2/A2 felt just as big since I haven't played them in years.

Me too. I'll love his old stuff forever and I'll always buy his remakes but I love the excitement behind a new story and getting to know new worlds and characters from Jeff's mind.

What a heinous individual. I feel terrible for the victims and their families as well. I'm at a loss for words, honestly.

I know quite a few people in my social circle who pine for a zombie apocalypse for a few reasons, depending on who you ask. Some see the collapse of society as a freedom from responsibility. Others find their First World life to be too mundane and feel like they haven't got anything going for themselves anyways. And then there are those few ones that just want to carry around a lot of guns and shoot people (or the gibbering husks of people) without repercussions from any sort of authority. All the people who've said this to me, mind you, are young college students, if that changes anything. I guess it's just a twisted power fantasy sort of thing for some folks. I'm sure they'd feel completely different in the face of a real crisis. I really, really don't want to world the end. Not that I ever buy into any of the pop culture apocalypse theories to begin with.

I think it'd be interesting if, in Avadon 2, there's a dialouge that states that Redbeard was killed by a powerful group of Hands (referring to, you know, the player and their allies). Though it does seem likely that he'll be around in the sequel, because having him die in canon at the player's hands would probably create storyline issues. I'm pretty curious as to what roles the allies will have, too.
