Serpentine's Secretly Sapphic Salacious Sacrarium of Random Banter #180

[wadledo]

I just played the guitar and sang Wagon Wheel for a bunch of my floormates. They like me now.

So do that somewhere sunny under a tree and wait for the ladies to start flocking to you like some horrific recreation of the Hitchcock movie "The Birds."

[Teddy]

Yha, completely understandable. Best way to do it I think is to find some excentric billionare and ask him to create a "around the world in 80 days" esque documentry.

Also from what I've heard it's more like driving a car. As long as you're safe though, I care about you man.

I'd imagine that the way you tilt in the curves is more like a bicycle, however, and the aileron, which is the closest you come to the wheels on a car, controll-wise, is supposedly pretty bad for turning, actually.

So, I'm writing out dialogue trees for a game. Any advice?

Write out a few parallel plotlines and a bunch of answers to cover up most possible responses a player could want to give to every question, and then make each answer lead a player onto the plotline that fits the best. If no such plotline exists, either create a new one if the answer must be there, or edit or remove it if it doesn't sound too important.

If different parallel plotlines don't try to converge at first opportunity after conversation has ended, it'll probably take away most of the feeling that you're being railroaded, but it'll increase the workload in writing it all up dramatically.

[Qwertystop]

Go down the route that Pokemon did (hah) and only allow yes and no answers.

That was hilarious in Pacifidlog town, right? Anybody else remember that guy?

[MoonCat]

Guys, help me, I'm starting to memorize the names of my most profitable spice colonies. I need an intervention.

[Maxios]

Are you talking about Spore?

The spice must flow. ._.

Aw, I was going to make a Dune joke.

*hugs to death*

[Mutant Sheep]

Aw, I was going to make a Dune joke.

*hugs to death*

... I will never intercept Knee in a joke. Ever. Its a way to go, but I don't feel like going just yet.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Aw, I was going to make a Dune joke.

*hugs to death*

*snuggles* =3

Gotta be quick, this IS a nerd culture forum. =3

[Rawhide]

I don't get it. Thor was a Norse god? Is that the joke?

That's the way Thor acts in the Marvel universe (actually, the Thor in the Marvel movie universe is much toned down from comic book Thor).

If you haven't already, you really should watch The Avengers, good movie. You don't have to, but I'd also recommend watching Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Captain America, Thor, and perhaps the Hulk movie(s) first. Though, not all of the Hulk movies are actually good...

[LaZodiac]

As much as I hate the Aang Lee Hulk movie, it isn't NON canon with with the most recent Hulk movie. However, it IS terrible, so it's non canon for me. Much prefer the latest Hulk movie. And yet Avenger's Ruffalo is still a better Hulk then the both of them.

What? You like Ruffalo more than Ed Norton? D=

Admittedly, I never SAW the Ed Norton Hulk movie, I just think he's an amazing actor. >.>

I did see the Ang Lee Hulk film, though, and it's so...so bad. >.<

[DraPrime]

Was the Ang Lee movie so bad? It's been a looooooooong time since I watched that Hulk movie, so I have no idea what was bad about it. I do vaguely remember it being very boring.

I preferred Norton myself. I was very disappointed at the change.

Hulk is the bad one, and comes first. Followed by The Incredible Hulk, which is good.

[MoonCat]

Are you talking about Spore?

Yup.

Spic-...wha.

Spore. Spice geysers. Planet Buster! TRADE ROUTES! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

So why was the person in that conversation talking like Thor?

I'll have to watch all the other things everyone's been saying I really should first. But okay.

[AsteriskAmp]

It's a running gag. I find it amusing.

My money's on 15, FWIW. Maybe 16 by now, but I don't think so.

You are not THAT off but she asks for no hints, so I won't explain the reasoning behind.

Nah, when I was done with the galaxy... as in conquered the Grox after allying with them and colouring a whole arm with myself I had come to know my main 20 systems by coordinate and all of the colonies on them by name.

By then my family uninstalled Spore for my good and I never looked back... apart from the mysterious disappearance of one external hard drive at home...

No, that's the conversation as if it was Thor actually messaging Iron Man... it won't make any sense if you haven't seen at least the first Iron Man and the Thor movie. Both of which are AWESOME by the way. Haven't seen any of the other Marvel movies, but those two are AWESOME.

Eh, the first Iron Man movie kind of let me down. A lot of build up to a pretty disappointing final fight.

[Tragic_Comedian]

It is Thor. Thor has gotten as cell phone and is texting Iron Man.

I hated the Thor movie. Horrible piece of trash.

Not really.
I can remember all my conquests in my most recent game of Medieval II: Total War.
Let me see... As the English...

Spoiler

Show

I started with London, Nottingham and Caen.
I started by conquering Rennes, Caenarvon, York and Bruges... Conquered Antwerp from the Danes before declaring a peace with them... Stole Paris and Rheims from France before declaring a peace with them... Absolutely smashed the Scottish, thus gaining Edinburgh, Inverness and Dublin. Defeated the Portuguese and the Spanish, thus gaining Lisbon, Leon, Pamplona and Toledo... There was a crusade in their somewhere and I stole Jerusalem despite being excommunicated... I conquered Germany, well, most of it... Only Hamburg, Frankfurt, Nuremburg, Stauffen and Innsbruck. Those damn Venetians had already conquered Vienna... There was another crusade, so I conquered Valencia on the way. Around here, I took Prague from whoever owned it. Then I proceeded to crushing France, thus gaining Zaragoza, Toulouse, Angers, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Metz, Bern and Dijon. The the fourth crusade was called for Tunis, so I conquered it. Then I decided that the Polish were too much trouble, so I took Magdeburg, Breslau and Krakow. Jerusalem rebelled from me and the Egyptians took it, so I moved my army inland and conquered Baghdad for the fun of it. And also, I conquered Aarhus and Oslo from the Danish.

Believe me, there's nothing wrong with you.

Because that's that's Marvel movie universe Thor talking to Marvel movie universe Iron Man (MAN OF IRON).

"Where do you live?"

That one?

ION: Just finished the first episode of Downton Abbey with my parents. Not that great, IMO.

I'm an idiot. Downton Abbey is freaking amazing.

'Night, y'all.

I need to know if they are okay.

Yeah. "Where are you from?" Yes/No.

There are bits where it gets pretty "soap-opera-ending everything-gets-better", which if it were a REALLY good show, wouldn't happen and consequences would be much more severe and keep happening, but aw well.

So today a friend of mine sent me a message on facebook with a rather complicated theological question. I actually had to think about it for several hours to work out the answer. What did he conclude this question with? This:

"and btw i'm writing this while high LOL. i actually think weed makes me smarter most of the time"

My friends are strange.
