=D I just started playing the copy of Beyond: Two Souls I got myself for Christmas, and I am OBSESSED. Also, I have an immense crush on Ellen Page.

This is the only thing I can ever associate with that game. Not that I could ever take Quantic Dream "games" seriously.

Also, I am thrilled to continue this mild Siya/Daisy rivalry.

Yes! Very much so. A quiet, simmering war, waged over social cutting, glares and other sullen body language with the occasional helping of snark to round things out!!!

This. They are not games. There is no gameplay. Its a movie with subpar writing and random button input.

That is precisely why I love them. I'm like a toddler. You could shake keys over my head for an hour and I would be thrilled.

[Hellis]

.... fair enough!

[DotCom]

It takes very little to entertain me. That said, I hated Halo and will play any game BioWare puts out. Also, Skyrim, though mostly I play to collect herbs...

[Unlit]

Every BioWare game makes me want to start a roleplay based off those settings.

You should pick up visual novels. They're basically a midway point between watching a television show and reading a book.

I have an entire shelf full. Well it's a combination of graphic novels, novellas, comics, and...other things, but the point is pictures.

I also have a very short attention span. =| So, almost all of them are begun and dog-eared. But I could still read Batman: Year One every day for the rest of my life and be just fine.

Also, I will have a post up this evening. I need to take the dog out afore it gets any darker. SLC drivers are insane/blind.

That's visual novels, not graphic novels. Visual novels are computer "games" that are essentially novels with art and music, oftentimes voice acting and branching storylines, and sometimes animation.

Did you ever see the X-men: Gifted visual novel?

No, but for the sake of terminology, that's a motion comic, rather than a visual novel.

This is a primary example of a visual novel. And in fact the one I was reading a couple of days ago.

[Unlit]

Oh. Well, I have learned something.

Posted :) I may be away for the weekend in case anyone wants me. Not that they would T_T

[Igraine]

You are positively adorable Crabby, and of course you'll be missed! But however that may be, you have a fantastic weekend hon! *waves*

I am positively at a loss for the subtle differences between a graphic novel, a visual novel, and a motion comic, but don't be bothered for any further clarification - I probably won't follow anyway.

All the lovely, wonderful posts - and more to look forward to as well! This is my study distraction, so thank you all!

And only one last note: Unlit, your new avatar? You have my wholehearted, unequivocal approval, ginormous thumbs up, for however little or much that may count.

Hey guys! Wonderful posts and great activity in the good 'ol Pieces of 8 thread here. It does a GM good to see such. On that note however, my esteemed Co-GM and I would like to get a new headcount for the RP. Just want to update the cast and know who we need to wait on or not. Thanks guys and gals!

I have one head that can be counted. Semyon's ready and waiting to be flown away.

Oh. Well. Now I feel like an idiot. Let me go half knit myself a dunce cap.
