I've played some random Zelda game on the side of also playing some random Spidwerweb game, but that's about it. I've never had the desire to go off to some other spidweb game before completing the run I was already on.

And even then, I've only played it...probably in the single digits number of times. Oh, and it's your move.

My work on this scenario has come in spurts. Last weekend was the latest one, and not sure when my next one will come. The one before the last one was way back in November, so it probably won't be done 'til the fall.

He's still fairly large, though, and he's less than a year old so he's still growing. Probably gives a better idea of his size: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hph...745391155_n.jpg

KITTIES! Bunnies are cute too, but... KITTIES!

Oh hey, I have an orange kitty too!

Oh my god. Oh my god. OH MY GOD! So adorable! Holy [censored]. D: Kittens are adorable normally...but that...is beyond normal cuteness. I'm getting tears in my eyes now.

Election canceled. It was just a random, 'fun' experiment gone wrong.

Damn. And this is your first? I.. Well. I might as drop my upcoming scenario that's ~80% finished. But really, this looks very promising. And I'll echo the above -- get it beta tested. No matter how extensively you test it yourself, some [censored] is always going to break it.

Iffy: Of course fluffy turtles exist. We had them at spiderweb. I've only been there for the second half of its life, but I've seen them. Iffy steps up onto the bus to take a quick nap after having consumed a cup of coffee.

Well. Perhaps it might have been giving a solo presentation in class before I got into drama. Or maybe it was most of my social interactions. Or maybe it was realizing that I actually didn't really care much for making out with this one girl. Or maybe it was my realization that I used to be very annoying to here and probably elsewhere in the past. I'm not sure. My life has been awkward in general.

I don't mind walking; since I don't have a license I have to do it more often than not. But nothing is more terrifying than walking around at night and seeing a group of teenagers. Perhaps I'm just paranoid though... Nah, don't be paranoid of teenagers. Be paranoid of everyone at night. There's some sketchy people around. I personally wouldn't trust a single person walking along at night that I didn't know. The night is just a...more dangerous time. Then again I'm simply paranoid in general.

Originally Posted By: Goldenking For those saying that modern music is crap, I'd beg to differ. Just because someone has gotten adjusted to a certain type of music doesn't mean it's superior; the positive doesn't always need to become the normative. So basically, let everyone have their own thing and don't judge. I like dubstep. I'm sorry if I offended you. To each their own. I do like some electronic stuff, but I will always prefer real instruments to anything computer generated. Originally Posted By: Goldenking I would attribute it to two things - technology and a low initial learning curve. Music got electrified, simply put, and instruments got entirely redone with a different timbre. The two most obvious examples, I believe, would be the electric guitar and the synthesizer. It still takes quite a bit of effort and practice to be able to produce good music on the band level. As a guitarist, I can say that it requires a great deal of time and patience to get to the point to where you can play well and create. I have yet to play with others, but I suspect it also takes a great deal of cooperation to work together as a band. As for the completely electronic music, it appears to be a hit and miss type thing. Some people get it right, most don't. I agree that technology made it easier overall. In the sense that most can get access to software to electronically produce music and distribute over the internet any kind of music. Instruments are also far more accessible nowadays and there's a much higher population than there used to be.

I mean, at least break it up into "baroque/classical/romantic" if you're going to do that, instead of forcing those of us with taste to all huddle in a single category filled with subgenres of stuff many of us don't even like in the first place! I'll admit, a huge portion of today's music is utter garbage. However, classical and such are not the only good types of music. As for the poll, it certainly could've been done with more forethought. @Slarty: You make a pretty good point. I suppose from a music theory perspective, rock and metal are rather similar.

Iffy sighs Code: beginstate 126;// for use for consistently violent passengersif ((get_attitude(v) == 10) || (get_attitude(v) == 11)) {set_char_status(v,10,20,1,0); }break; Trenton then falls fast asleep before he can cause any significant damage. Iffy: Problem solved.

Depends. Do I feel like being lazy? Well, with someone, I'm willing to walk much farther. Though sometimes the conditions are nice enough to where a solo walk would be pleasant.

Originally Posted By: HOUSE of S Originally Posted By: Iffy It's sad how metal is missing from the music list. Metal is not a very broad genre, and it's pretty clearly a subgenre of rock. It's sad how that 2006 music poll is gone forever, after the totally unnecessary amount of time I spent researching the format on Wikipedia. It came from rock, yes, but it's large enough and has enough differences to merit being it's own genre. Metal itself has sub-genres, even. You must not know very much about metal to say that it isn't very broad.

It's sad how metal is missing from the music list.

Iffy: Slarty, do you think it might be possible to stop by Ponyville? Certainly the device is capable of alternate dimensions.

Iffy, continuing to shift, manages to come to sense for a short amount of time to summon a script. Code: beginstate 123; // This script returns self to normal from a freakish transformationif (char_status(ME) != 1) {revive_char(ME); }break; Light glows and Iffy is returned to normal. Iffy: Just what was that?
