Welp, night folks. But before that. Wreck-ItRalph looks better that I thought.

Villain trying to subvert his roll eh?

@Ginger Usually, yes. Occasionally you'll get some assistance from a friendly AI in the form of soldiers or security drones, but otherwise your only contact with the characters is through terminals.

You'd like Durandal. He's a great villainous AI in the first game, and manages to manipulate both sides of what is essentially a First Contact War to gain the resources necessary to begin a plot to ascend to godhood. He even beats out GLaDOS in my book in terms of AI villains.

@Blissey I didn't dismiss Doom at all. Doom did it first, and it was glorious. But Doom lacked a plot beyond "Demons are invading Mars. Shoot them." In addition to being every bit as good of a shooter as Doom, Marathon has a real narrative.

What did the pendant in the Secret of NIMPH do?

@story gave Mrs Brisby magic levitation powers

Ok, this is definitely the best version of Cupcakes.

Serial killer Pinkie is getting chewed out by her boss.

Whatever, Eggman gets to cameo in it so I'm happy.

Solve the problem, really.

It wasn't in the book. It has no real purpose or significance beyond ending the movie, so...

Does Dash dance in every one of these things?

Dash: There's a lot of issues, the biggest thing is you're not a wonderbolt.

@Blue I couldn't get past how obnoxious the voices were -_-

It got FAR too annoying for me after a few minutes

Dash is dressed like a gorilla, dressed like Lord Zedd.

Yeah, I definitely get that. I like Dash's voice though.

4th banged shin so far.

Also, I kinda sorta totally nerdgamsed over the Wreck-it Ralph trailer. It's gonna be So! Aweomse! /)^3^( it took me too long to figure out how to do that face...

Hey everyone! My ongoing fanfic, The Book of Friendship, now has over one hundred thousand words in it!

Lol, Gorilla Dash writes her name on her wings.

And Dash joins the Ghost Wonderbolts! Happy ending!

Dear lord, Pannic. I only have one-tenth of that... I'm so slow.

-cough-.

TCYB still has it beat by 40, 000 words.

Not, you know, bragging or anything.

My fanfic has ZERO words. Beat that.

my novel has 53, 000 words.

Ah, good ol' TCYB...

That you haven't read and don't plan to?

Or does it also stand for something else? Because I know it's really close to TCBY.

The pendant was an Ass Pull. Sorry, Secret of NIMH, but that's what it felt like.

What's TCBY? The Colour Bled by You?

Well, of course I don't plan on reading it, it doesn't have an intelligent villain and it's too focused on character development.

It doesn't mean I don't consider it important to the thread. I rank it up there with the other really important fanfics that I will never read (like Dangerous Business and It Takes A Village)

The countries best yogurt. It's a frozen yogurt place I alway used to go to when I went to baseball games with my mum. Great place.

And really ginger, I didn't know that. It's not as big a thing, since we've never, you know, discussed it like you guys have other fanfics, but that's still kinda neat to know. Also Letter was sort of intelligent, but that point could sort of be contested...

@kegi Well, I consider it important. I consider a lot of meaningless things important though

and really, I'm just into intelligence nowadays. Which is why Liar Game has started getting awesome now that the main character actually has a worthy opponent

Well that's fair enough; TCYB was never designed around having villains at all. they were more a means to an end; the story proper was more man vs. self. Well. Pony vs self.

Writing intelligence is tricky, because it's very easy to overextend yourself, and that can lead to it being... bad. I don't think I'm quite good enough to pull it off just yet, as much as people seem to like to laud me.

Also, nothing is unimportant if you assign it value. Things are inherently meaningless; value is decided by the meaning we give things. That, interestingly, was one of the major undercurrents of the fic. I turned Its Not Personal into arc words, and explained at the end it meant that there was nobody in control, and so we had to assign meaning ourselves. It was used to show that Blueblood's predicament wasn't given to him by the hand of god, it was just a bad situation that he'd partyl drawn on himself, and partly one that anybody could have. That made his development more related by showing that it was something that everyone could go through. It also made the events themselves easier to understand, because he learned to give weight to his actions and the things that happened to him on his own, therefore becoming a more complete person with a better appreciation for others and the world around him.

I'm... sorto f an Anti Nihilist. It comes through in my work sometimes.

Ok, so the Rainbow Dash Presents is good, The Mentally Advanced Series sucks.

....wait, why am I now laughing?

(shudder) Man vs Self stories. I don't think I've found a single one of those that I've liked... I don't even know why, they just don't interest me. At least not when it's the primary focus
