I actually find it difficult to RP now that I've found this place. It's a disease, really.
Some of us can balance the two. It's a gift.
As for the topic, I heard an interesting analogy that I thought fit quite well.
The movie, in regards to Godzilla's appearances/combat, was like sex done correctly. Tease it with a ton of foreplay, let it really simmer, y'know? Then Wham! Let that atomic-fire-breathe climax hit you like a freight train. You know the part I'm talking about.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, if you skip the foreplay and just get straight down to business (by showing too much Godzilla too soon), you end up climaxing too soon, and it's really quite underwhelming.
