That tweet is goddamn gold derpmine.

Well. Let's follow the great trail of derp!

Oh god is this plain horrible. The one who wrote that essay shit is, ironically, being sexist. She's also HEAVILY into manga, anime and all other assorted Japanese bullshit which is even worse regarding female archetypes and wymin in general.

Yeah, reading her post started giving me a headache.

The difference between Batman as power fantasy and Mary Sue as power fantasy is this: you want to be Batman, but you're already the Mary Sue. How can somebody who spent enough time thinking about this to write an essay leave that distinction completely unaddressed? She can have her opinion, but what's painful about that post is that she doesn't try to argue her point, she just takes it for granted and rants.

It also bears mention that there's quite a lot of versions of Batman... And quite a lot of different people who've made stories with the character...

This guy has many posts basically like this on his blog. I originally found him on a Kotaku usually writing on Portal 2 and VALVe titles.

How can anyone legitimately think that the world design in New Vegas wasn't as good as 3? Or that NV had poorer shooting mechanics? Are you sure this dude isn't a troll?

A sidenote about NV being more focused on vats: I played a sneaky sniper character in NV without ever using vats and it was way better than playing Fallout 3 with the same build, because in NV you can actually hit things that are more than 50 feet away from you.

NV focused on vats? I always found vats to be shit and never ever used it. It works fine as a shooter. Not the greatest one ever, mind you, but decent enough. At least you're not popping moles.

It wasn't a theme park and had a lot of small locations filled with nothing.

 

[JarlFrank]

Well. Let's follow the great trail of derp!

Wait, wait, what?

Since when is saying "meh" an insult?

Gods, I hate people who defend ridiculously idiotic decisions made by devs. LOL ITS THEIR GAME SO YOU CANNOT. FFS

Obviously a Codexer, at least in spirit. He's the same guy who made the "Deus Ex Unreal Revolution" mod and video. This is my favorite vid of his:

Yeah, same thing happened first time I've opened it.

Blimey, that was annoying.

That's quite an exploit, then. A vandal could fuck up the entire forum. Inform the admins!

I tested it to see if it's still works:

I very much believe him to be serious. He wrote an article on Eli being the most important person in Half-Life 2 and his death thus brought a halt to Half-Life development because without Eli, there would be no one to explain stuff to you... or something. I haven't read this guys older articles for months now.

Ah yes, then he complains of Gordon being a Silent Protagonist in HL2 by the end of this one.

Skyrim invented dragons.

 

[Falkner]

I don't know, I wouldn't underestimate those people.

 

[Skittles]

Too obvious because it failed to inspire true fan boy rage. Great planning, though, with potential to grab Eragon, Skyrim, and LotR fans all in one.

I almost hate to even bring this up, but, it looks like David Gaider is not the only one planning to inflict Dragon Age fiction upon the world.

Chris Priestly said:

He or she will also be invited to a private Skype Q&A with David Gaider.

Looking forward to seeing the creativity that drives our community! Be sure to read Dragon Age Asunder to inspire and inform your writing!

The thread for the abstracts is, in the best tradition of Bioware's fan community, almost mind-expanding in its stupidity.

The first posted summary...

And I choose...a snippet...a glimpse into a character I created for
my blog story Jacen Thorne. This character is Reginald Malore, a Templar
from Kirkwall...and for this challenge I wrote a prequal short as sort
of a backstory before he is introduced in the Jacen Thorne main story. I
hope you enjoy...from The Assignment

A decade
before while hunting a particularly nasty maleficar, Reginald Molare
suffered an accident leaving his vision permanently altered. When he
was in bright light the man was completely blind, but in low light and
total darkness he could see shapes. A side effect from the blood mage’s
attack turned his formally green eyes a silvery color that glowed in the
light much like a cat’s. Even the Knight Commander and First Enchanter
found Reginald’s eyes an eerie sight. Not one person could tell him why
his vision had been altered, but his ability as a tracker had not been
diminished.

And it uses... ellipses... to... dramatic effect!

I've not read the whole of the thread, but I assume that angst, clumsy prose, and unconventional grammatical constructions abound there.
