but again, much like with a lot of poeple's critisms of FOE backstory, hindsight's 20/20 and it's easy to judge a character as stupid when you have information they had no way of knowing.
Yeah, that was pretty much my criticism—Dumbledore was coming from a position of omniscient third-party knowledge, Gandalf had to act on not-omniscient first-party knowledge.
That's why it always annoys me when people complain about fictional characters doing things that are "stupid" or "illogical." Rarely is it actually either one.

Made out of a plaque on a probe going into deep space? Welp, enjoy respawning on a desolate spacescape, or better still, inside a black hole the probe got sucked into.
It's a nice idea but flawed, methinks.
We're streaming tonight, same pony time, yes?

@ginger: Hey, I'm not saying you have to keep reading it. ::::P You should know, though, that in a very real sense Doc Scratch has been doing something since page 1 of the comic.

You think Voldemort couldnt just apparate(or whatever the heck its called) from wherever he spawned back to earth?

Scratch does shit mostly in Act 5 Act 2, but his plans have partial base in the first Intermission and Act 5 Act 1.
Like I said, you shouldn't feel the need to finish it, even from being pressured to. It's understandable.
I've never played any of them. Can't help.

So guys, as a bored and directionless game collector, which game should I collect next:

it's not like a Lich in D&D he doesn't respawn at it, it's simply an anchor, as long as the piece of his soul inside the horcrux exists, he can't fully die, if his physical body dies his spirit just leaves it but continues to exist and can work on getting a new one made/possesed.

I have to say I'm with Ginger on Homestuck, especially the tropes page. Does the trope page for it really have to look like such a fucking mess that could put my messy room to shame? And the story doesn't sound all that intreasting either.
No offense to anyone who likes Homestuck of course. If you like it, then who am I to stop you from reading it?

So then he'll return in the body of an alien after a few thousand (hundred thousand even) years floating in space?

The trope page is indeed a mess. Although I guess that's because there's a lot in the story? Honestly, I'd say it's better to go into it with knowing as little as possible. Reading the trope page wouldn't help. I don't think AH is that bad, but maybe I just forgot the parts with him.
Chada, your video appears broken.
#205169SeraphemFri, 25th May '12 8:04:30 PMfrom Delamare
no, his spirit does not get sent to a horcruxe at all, basicly as long as horcruxe exists, all that happens if his body dies is the physical meat drops, and his spirit is left standing where the body was to go on it's way. (well bit more complex then that but essentially.)

Hell, I just skipped all of AH's bits until the Yellow Yard.

All I can say is, I would be more interested if someone wrote Twilight Sparkle and the Methods of Rationality. Would probably still be completely wrong, but at least a cute pony is easier for me to palate than some damn wizard from an overrated line of children's books.

I'm so proud of you, and I'm very impressed with your friends as well. It sounds like you're all learning so much from each other.

See, hearing "It's not for everyone" just makes me feel stupid.
Like I'm not SAMRT enough to get it.
Personal, but I also despise how it seems to have fallen under the protection of what I like to call "The Kubrick Defence" where the fans consider the work immune to criticism because aparently the author is so smart that he intended fucking EVERYTHING. INCLUDING the elements that are being criticized... making the criticisms invalid because the Author planned it -_-

You think Harrypotter is overrated? why do you think that?
