  1. The one thing that Zombie/World Crisis/Apocalypse genre's do that I enjoy is give such varied viewpoints and sides to a person's psyche and outlook that it's actually pretty interesting.

  2. @ceruleanspark I guess that actually makes me kind of happy, if not a bit surprised.

  3. @ceruleanspark Ah, I get it. Crafty.

  4. @ceruleanspark Oh, well ctrl -/+ was news to me. Thanks. Pinch to zoom only works for me in Safari.

  5. @ceruleanspark I always disliked that game for the inability to explore the world at my leisure

  6. Does anyone know a way to zoom in on firefox? I'd like to watch this anime, but I don't want to have to leave this screen tiny to talk to you guys.

  7. @macpony55 That was actually kind of cute.

  8. @ceruleanspark That's actually a legitimate question I'd like to know.

  9. @thelastgherkin At least that seems like a somewhat reasonable thing to do.

  10. @ceruleanspark Holy Batcave, Batman!

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 10:03:06 UTC from web in context
  11. @ceruleanspark It'd be more like *Lulamoon* *Lulamoon* *Lulamoon* *Lulamoon* "Wait, this isn't four Lulamoons! This is only one Trixie!"

  12. @thelastgherkin @ceruleanspark They better not do this with My little Pony toy sets. I'd be thoroughly angry when I only get one Twilight Sparkle when the description clearly says *Twilight Sparkle* *Twilight Sparkle* *Twilight Sparkle* *Twilight Sparkle*

  13. @thelastgherkin Clearly they think the batcave's the main selling point of this product... I hope.

  14. @ceruleanspark I assumed so, but it is nice to hear another person confirm this. Different perspectives and all.

  15. @pinhooves Well he is shooting a revolver at you, so you'd most likely get shot to put it bluntly.

  16. Hmm. Dark and stormy night. This is either the perfect time to resume playing Corpse Party or the worst time.

  17. @thelastgherkin Are you like buying a bulk shipment of Batcaves straight from Lego or something?

  19. @ceruleanspark I agree that more often than not challenging themselves in a good way is something that people tend to lack now. I wonder if I'm part of these people though if I use the easy difficulty or other workarounds so that I can watch the story if I have difficulty with the game?

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 09:48:53 UTC from web in context
  20. @ceruleanspark Pretty much. It doesn't help that some people have trouble reading at all which explains why they can't even get to that next step of digesting what they've read since they must try so hard to read at all. It's amazing how long it took us to read books and papers all throughout high school when we had the whole class participate.

  21. @ceruleanspark On another side note, I just finished reading My Little Dashie and I have no clue how that got 6 stars. I feel it's 4 stars at the most. The stories main concept, "OMG Rainbow Dash in the real world!" is so half baked in it's execution and the explanation for it was bad. It doesn't help that while I can warm up to the guy's feelings and say, "Yeah that sucks, man." The other half that's necessary, Rainbow Dash is lost considering she has less than a page of dialogue most likely and you can't really relate or feel for her. I suppose at least it wasn't loaded with grammar errors. =/

  22. @ceruleanspark I was actually just about to write about that, but yes. Stories, whether they're from movies, cartoons, anime, fanfiction, books, or whatever are what I look for the most, enjoy, and what I take my experiences and in some ways challenge myself from. Instead of looking at things subjectively as a "character" or "setting", I look for how much I can relate to the character, how much I can like them or hate them or what have you. I look at their situations, what they go through, and learn from those stories. While they're not always completely realistic, it still means there tends to be at least some sense of logic or truth hidden inside and become a better person from it. In other words, its like they tell you to do in the Persona games, You're supposed to interact with others, learn about them and form a bond with them. While they're not real, feeling for a character in a story and what they go through is still a stimulating experience regardless of how it was conveyed

  23. @ceruleanspark Hm, if that's the case doesn't that mean other than things that are largely different in culture and the way they work (japan being one example I suppose) doesn't that mean any stories written about people in a setting on earth is kind of like this? Granted they have characters that are of course original, but the settings themselves aren't what I would call different in the sense that the ideals are at least somewhat similar.

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 09:12:26 UTC from web in context
  24. @ceruleanspark Hmm. Taking this a tad step back, so the game's premise ("personas", realizing your true self, shadows appearing in some shape or form) isn't a hindrance? For that matter, from what I'm sensing, as long as the characters are different, the setting and premise can stay the same?

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 09:05:30 UTC from web in context
  25. @ceruleanspark Admittedly, I would play Persona 5. This brings up an interesting point however. What happens if Persona 5 continues with the characters from Persona 4? They're the same characters in a somewhat similar premise. Is this intellectually challenging?

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 08:54:40 UTC from web in context
  26. @ceruleanspark Then would you think that a story which uses the characters of the show, but takes their personalities and fleshes them out farther than the show does make for an intellectual reading? While it uses a basis, the mane 6, if they expand further than that and add even more depth, especially when it's of the creator's mind meaning it's not already known to the reader beforehand.

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 08:47:39 UTC from web in context
  27. @ceruleanspark So you agree that Fallout Equestria does provide intellectual challenge?

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 08:40:19 UTC from web in context
  28. @ceruleanspark So you're saying if you were to make OC characters and put them in a setting that was different than a typical Equestria or anyplace that wasn't shown in the show it would be?

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 08:37:54 UTC from web in context
  29. @ceruleanspark But what's easy to digest? The story? The characters? The setting?

    Tuesday, 17-Jan-12 08:33:34 UTC from web in context
  30. @abigpony Because as she mentioned earlier she was able to have the mane 6 "liven things up" at the stuffy boring party. That or because she just trolled the hell out of everyone at the gala.
