Well, I'm glad, because now it'll stick in your brain better, without having to be clogged up with all that other information. And your contribution was excellent.

If the story in FFVII is good, then so is the story in every other japanese anime, or RPG, of fucking ANYTHING, EVER. Fucking fuck. I'll snop the CD of that game.

HA HA HA HA FUCKING HA HA HA HA HA. That game was such a.... DRAG. GET IT?!

Um WTF? Thanks a lot. What did I ever do? You're full of poo. I hate... you.

Geez, man...

I know my house is a scary place to be right now. We're getting 100mph winds, which is windy. Perhaps you get that the whole time where you live, but I'm not used to it. And neither is this house. Or the electricity and telegraph poles. And I heard California is getting it pretty bad as well. Last I heard, there was a 1,000 mile wide storm just off the coast of San Francisco, heading inland. I'll bet that wasn't a whole lot of fun for you guys. And it snowed in Texas or something, or San Andreas, or wherever Kingz lives. I believe it's an island. It seems like we're all getting particularly shit/extreme weather this year. I don't remember it ever being quite this bad before. As I type this, I'm wondering what the crashing sounds outside are; the roof of the adjacent building, or a tree falling in to the yard.

A little from column a, a little from column b.... Rodi is a great reviewer Shbazjinkins lives in a sewer.

Wow, Kingz, don't even get me started on the voices in 10. Stilted bitch couldn't even get a setence out straight, and Tidus sounded like somebodys Dad. Man, and Yuna... didn't she just sound so sweet and innocent? NO. I'll snop the fucking face off her!!! I hate Final Fantasy, I hate it. What a retarded series of games. 6 on the SNES was pretty good, it was very atmospheric and had a good (good by Japanese RPG standards) story in comparison to a lot of stuff that was floating around on the SNES those days. If you don't like 7 much, try 8. It's full of slapstick humour, angsty teens and INCREDIBLE plot twists. You will never see half that shit coming, I swear to god. For instance (spoilers below): "Whoa, shit, you're my mother's ex-boyfriends daughter!?" "Whoa, shit, you can read minds?!" "Whoa, shit, we're all brothers and sisters and we must have forgotten!?" "Whoa, shit, the bad guy and President is our aunt, and we forgot?!" "Whoa, shit, Rinoa is dead, we can save her by taking her into space?!" "Whoa, shit, Rinoa is floating around in space!" "Whoa, shit, so is Squall!" "Whoa, shit, who the fuck is Adel?!" "Whoa, shit, WTF?" "Whoa, shit, who the fuck is Ultimecia?!" "Whoa, shit, what the hell just happened?!" As you can see, I wasn't being sarcastic.

Not to say that Kingz sucks Or anything like that, But it's not like he could give two fucks And clowns, by rule, are twats Ahhh, I hate clowns!!! Imagine having a king that was a clown! Kingzjester is a Jester and not a friggin' King He doesn't rule over us and we don't ask him, Just because he's scary and has a permanent frown Doesn't mean he owns as; for gods sake, he's a clown. Everyone'd agree they suck, if it was put to poll One day soon, mark my words, I'll snop the faces off them all. By the way, in this thread, you can only talk in rhyme Therefore Kingz, man, screw you! You'd committed a Thumbular Crime.

I'll snop the face off my Mom if she doesn't apologise soon...

Wow, Marek, that was so lame. That was so, so incredibly lame. I'll snop Snoop Doggy Dog in the freakin' face no problem, but he can't take MY word and claim it as his own, because it's mine. You can use it though, if you like. It might make you seem cooler and more popular.

I think it stems from Katamari Damacy, somehow.

Lacey is l33ty Spaff a total sweety, Marek can speak hollish Lailekekenen is... is not hollish. Duncan has got neat armour Amee's a total newcomer Chris is a complete honey Trepstud, a cuddly bunny Deadworm is extremely chatty Ryam is absolutely batty Jake, probably THEE nicest guy Kingz is funny and odd and dry, Ysbreker is unpronouncable Nick is nice, capable Erkki is ever omnipresent Emma is never ever present Idle Thumbs is full of shit So are you, get over it.

I'll snop the face off you, Deadworm.

Unlike any other word in the English language, Snop is completely made-up, and also brand spanking new (24 hours old!) I'm going to try and make people use it. It can probably be used in a lot of different contexts... things like 'I'll snop the face off him!' as in a mixture between a karate chop and a slap, and maybe a pair of scissors. I don't know. You could also say, 'Snoppy little bitch' or 'Give her a good snop with the back of your hand' 'I'll snop the motherfucker!!!' ect. And the plus of using a word like Snop, is that not only will you be fashionable and popular, but it sounds cool. Remember in FF8, when that annoying snoppy little bitch tried to make everybody catch on to the word 'Bayooka!' or something? Well, fuck that. If I want a foul word to use, I want it NOW, not five seconds later when I'm finished pronouncing it. Snop is easy to remember, sticks in your mind, and most importantly, it's short and sweet.

I think I secetly fear rejection letters. Also, they said that there's no demographic for my work to fit in to. They said they can't market it to kids because I keep saying 'motherfuckers' 'bastard' 'fuck' and 'snop', and they can't market it to adults because it's not stimulating or thought provoking. Besides that, since over half the stories I tell are of real, easily identifiable people and places, I'd get the ass sued off me, lose all my profits and dignity, and then they'd ban me from America for ten years. And possibly France. Pfft. Who do they think they are? If I ever meet those guys, I'll snop the face off them. Besides, then you guys would be able to take me to court for a slice of the profits because you 'made me' do it, and after that all of the administrators of Idle Thumbs would do exactly the same because they 'hosted my material' for four years. Bastards. I'll snop the faces off them.

Riding Shotgun, ehhh? Perhaps it's because if you're going to blow stuff up as you're driving along by shooting at it with a shotgun, the passenger is going to have to do the shotgun shooting, because the driver will be driving. So you'll be riding on the shotgun-using side of the car. I'm a genius!

EPILOGUE It was a bright, cold, sharp January morning as I stretched my legs, and then emmediately recoiled in agony as my leg was consumed with a cramp. "Motherfucker!" I hissed, grabbing my leg and falling sideways out of the bed. The shrill 'bleep bleep bleep' of my cel phone recieving an SMS had awoken me, only since I have a polyphonic phone it was actually more like a 'Badadum-TSH-budadumdum-TSHHH! Dum Tshhh tshhh dum badum dum pachoiwwww! Dagga ding ding doo, batta batta doo da di dum ba baddi bum dum blum rum badadum-TSHH TSHH! Fugadeebop, TSHHH!" I opened my inbox and read the SMS. sry salks, ddnt no u hd no mny wldnt hv lft u in twn F i hd scr jst rlly pss' me ff. Sry. "What does it say?" Oscar asked. "Don't know. Think it's Welsh. What the fuck are you doing in my room?" I added in a low roar, because I'm not a morning person and I'd only had one hour of sleep. "I unfroze the taps and put on the kettle." He said mysteriously, as though he was saying something mystical and interesting. I went downstairs to the kitchen, made a pot of coffee, and then went to put the kettle back on again. "That will be the last cup of coffee you have." Oscar said, in a creepy, monotonous voice. I felt a cold shiver down my spine, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Placing one hand on the tap, I turned slowly around to face him. "Why?" I whispered. There was a silence. I turned the tap. Nothing happened. There was a dry, coughing sound from the pipe. "They're doing roadworks and hit the water supply." Oscar said brightly. Motherfuckers!!!

Uh, poetry about fellow Idle Thumbers, or Idle Thumbs though.

Bugger off. Nobody asked you to get involved.

Man, shut up, Duncan! Nobody would ever have noticed! Your English skills are great, Amee.

Man, that's not even funny. Couldn't you have joined on ANY OTHER DAY? Or first-posted in ANY OTHER THREAD? Why now? Why the only time in the world I'm not being nice... or pretending to be nice at least. Usually I'm really endearing and entertaining and thoughtful and kind and generous and and popular. And cool. That's me, usually. You caught me on an off day is all. But from this moment on, I'll be ordinary me. Just like the real me that everybody here knows so well. Like this: Hi, Ameerasu! Welcome to Idle Forums! I do so hope you enjoy yourself here. We all get on great, and have some really interesting and thought provoking discussions on a regular basis, like, almost daily. Every weekend we all take flights out to New York and meet up and sing songs to each other and cradle each other in our arms while we go to sleep, and while other people are sleeping we do things like pull the blanket over their shoulders so they don't get cold, or push their fringe out of their eyes so their eyes don't dry up and turn into little colourless dehydrated button mushrooms in the night. We also write poetry about each other. Like this: If I could choose to be anybodyAnybody in the world at all I'd choose to be Harry Potter, With awesome magic and all, Then I'd come and post here Because I hold y'all dear, My wonderful friends on Idle Thumbs You idle wankers, you lazy bums. EDIT: Inbox empty, poetry remixed.

How come it didn't occur to me at any point to tell you the reason you're not understanding me is because you lack a female perspective? Trying to end any argument by saying the other person doesn't understand because they're female/male is full of shit. No matter how you meant it. It also doesn't help your case saying things like; Why the patronising comments such as 'cute and naive'? Why did you constantly have to remind yourself and everybody else that I'm female? I really don't understand why you felt the need to bring it up over and over again in some form, unless you really have some deep seated issues. We were having an argument, a debate. How come Duncan's opinion isn't just his opinion, but an attempt to 'ride in like a white knight' because you insulted a girl? How did you even fucking come up with that? It's pretty fucking lousy to use gender as a weapon of debate against somebody. If you want to sort things out, fine. But I'm going to be completely honest; I'm too angry, indignant and stubborn to take any first steps. And going to be even more honest; I just broke my Mom's favourite mug. Oh well. Guess she shouldn't have given it to me on such a windy morning, eh!? HA HA HA! Ahhh.

Accidentally using words that meant completely different things from the words you apparently meant to use: Two very different things. Hatred/contempt isn't some kind of insecurity, as you seem to be suggesting in the third quote. This was one of my biggest problems with your original post. Did you mean it? Or not? Did you choose the right words? Too bad, because that's one of the biggest problems I had with your original post, your claim that they make crap games that only they will like because they have a contempt for the general public. So the have a contempt, possibly a hatred for the general public... but then you change your mind and decide that well, no, but they don't feel accept or loved, and they merely overcompensate. This is what I mean when I say you use words that you apparently didn't mean to use. So you changed your mind about them hating the public? Good job, too. It was kind of ridiculous. Since people like John Romero helped give the industry such a kickstart in many ways, they're still prominent figures. However, they came in when game design as a career was a lot different. Yes, they're immature and socially questionable. But if they tried to get into the industry now, as newcomers, I bet they wouldn't get far. I don't think that people, especially not nowadays, get into game design because they're social outcasts. Maybe you get a lot of immature and uncreative people at the front of the pack, people like John Romero and John Cormack, who as far as I know are both self-taught programmers. Man, back in those days, of course pretty much the only people going in to games were people that were geekish enough to spend hours teaching themselves this stuff. Now there are college courses from Progamming to Game Design itself, even 3D animation, if people want to get in to the game industry. It's matured a lot. It's not just a handy career for social outcasts that want to tell a story.

And by the way, giving one game designer, and another unrelated person who doesn't even seem to have any social difficulties as far as I'm aware apart from the fact he is now stinking rich, as a reply to my question... and then just saying, "The industry is full of them!" as though it's fact? That's not a valid answer! Movie directors are mostly gay because Baz Luhrman is, and so is George Michael. Oh, and also, because they're all gay.
