Sleepdance

I was kinda in a rush when writing it. Also, any idea on characters name(male, late 30s)?

On the other hand that would save me some work so forget that what I wrote about PM-ing me. While I already started to write this post let's say something about the core of a story. This is a silly example but I can't think of another one: In Ice age 1 the core of a story is cooperation between elephant, big rat and a tiger, which is under pressure because of the mission, to save that little kid. The movie was well recived mostly because it had the story that kids AND the parents liked(kids liked the funny stuff, parents liked some of the deeper stuff). And then came the IA2. After the succses the creators decided to add a new twist to the story. Love. That generaly isn't a bad thing, but here it just took the time from other parts that were good in the first movie. I hope it's not a terrible example of what I'm trying to say(if you want to create a good story, you must focus on one core story in which smaller stories fit as a background-so they not influence the main story, but are still important for the narative) Sort-a-offtopic:I think this is one off the main reasons we won't see Full Throttle 2. Shafer would have to put a new factor in the the story to keep the 2nd one fresh so some of the subjects of the first one would be reduced to make room for new factor.

This thing really pisses me of, because we europeans have to wait for all the games to be localised(which sometimes takes even a year!).

Great. I'll try to post 1st chapter over the weekend. The story, if you ask me should be Thumb unrelated, but could include some of the referances(wizard, crying far away, spaceasshole, Remokris being name of the starship, Nick teh Traitor(just joking)....). Sorry for not posting here for last few days, but I had a lot of unplaned work to do. Also, I agree that about the ''making it up as we go'' idea, but I think(and hope you agree) that there aren't any WTF moments(if story is set in medival times and then someone writes that that is just a vision of an ancient Greece priest, which is in fact robot made by martians....). I think I'll put story in close future, trying not to make any crazy political opinions. As we'll go on I hope others would keep to that(for being an opinion that they are addresing to readers, not if a person in story is addresing it to another person in story). @Psych: This is in some ways familiar to the thing you were working on, only that here writers personality is reflected through writing, not only through the character. Edit:For purely logistical reasons, could anyone that is interested in MLP(look at the title of the thread) send me PM with the language that he would use, and if he is especially good in, lets say writing battle segments, or love segments, or dialog segments, .....

Jake Rodkin killed me!!!!!!!!!! (I wish I wouldn't lose the one with his face pined to wall with an arrow). EDIT:And now, format of Steam screenshots isn't supported here. I'm starting a petition.

@GrouchoClub:I'm always under the influance of my imagination, which makes me......do you remember that red sniper with a bow....no, am......that human that becomes blue cat...no, no, no......that wizard...(okay I'm trying to stop myself[fist punches in my head from my hands]) Well, as I said this would be experimental. From all aspects of the human mind, imagination is, if you ask me, most interesting of. Since most people speak at least 2 languages so they could understand at least some of the book and if this parts of the book are done in such way they would keep interest that would make them one of 2 things: 1.:Try to find out what the heck is going on. 2.:Try to think about what they read what is the thing I'm counting on because my philosofy is that a book(or movie, or game,...)is good when you think about it even after you finish reading it. The one that you forget next day isn't good book. For you of course, maybe the same book is good in this way for someone elsebut not for you even if it's Mr Shaking a Spear. Don't worry. Off course I'll write the first chapter. I'm thinking to put the book in close future, middle age or present and definetly not in space, because of all the crazy names(ex.:Hybrid fuel accelerator) that would made it almost impossible to manage all of the phrases. I'll write about the character tomorrow since is almost midnight here and I have still a lot to do(like sleeping). Are you my identical twin brother....or at least have his brains? Edit:O, and if ever finish this I'll probably beg someone to make PDF out of it and then ask Amazon to put it on Kindle as one of the free books(I'm living in the clouds) if you will agree and they tell everyone that I can think of about it.

Well, I made only about 5 metres after that because I got so invested in it over few weeks that I simply can't get used to the new thing.

What a timing? A second between each other's post? Back on topic. Let's say this is not little, but extremly experimental. My main goal is probably to make an example of cooperation betwen diffrent tipes of people, nations and cultures(man, this sound even better(and crazier) than I thought it would). Those short stories wouldn't be indipendant stories but chapters in overall story. An here comes the main problem that is probably going to be if this is tried to pull of is to keep story logical(not that in one chapter someone is tall, in other small). There are probably 2 ways of creating a story in this case. On beeing that one is writing something in his language, than pasting a rough description of a story and possible continuations and that then someone does the same thing until it's finished. I prefer this way, if you take away the risk of the story going totally crazy. The other way is that the plot is decided at the begining, but in this case you risk that everyone will loose will to the project over time. About the unspecific specifics. I think that things that should be decided over the hole project should be decide as a team.

That would be nice. Also, exactly which end?

What the heck?

I just found two great apps. 1st is Wolfrang's Vault- a big library of concert tapes. Three words: It is big. 2nd is Cube Runner- a pretty basic game. At first I got a feeling that's just one more game that newer changes or ends. But since I had nothing to do, I played it for hours so I became quite good at it so I could survive for about 2 minutes. But then the art style totaly changed and I got trotaly confused. Everyone shoud at least try it to see, how a simple change of art can totaly change the feeling of the game......O, and you shuld play it on hard difficulty from start. And the best part? They are both free.

Well, how much you are capable of.

Their is something off putting about Wave race that keeps me from playing it even though it is mentioned every couple of months to me. You know when you see a trailer for an unrelesed game and you get a feeling in your head that you feel the flow and the atmosfer of the game(which is then complitly minimized when you play the game)? Well, that happens to me every time I see Wave race. It's like controlled chaos where you are just doing little commands, but all the big ''decisions'' are made for you. ...But still, better than Mario kart with planes(don't ask, sometimes I have terrible dreams).

@Soulchiken: My opinion on the last choice is that it would leave much biger impact if consecuenses would be swiched.

O my god. Finally! Finally someone created a mod that upgrades Half Life 2 grafics to a level console versions of Orange box had. And it also has the achivments (I hope Valve will allow them through Steam). http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1093025

Remember when you talked about Jack the Repper? Well ''Sherlock Holmes versus Jack the Ripper'' is a prove sometimes world is just laughing at us.

Actually there still is that problem. My credit card supports only purchases in my country whic are made phisicaly, so not by Internet(probably has something to do with the bank policy). I'm looking to change it evantualy but the benefits of the current one are still the best around. And belive me. I'm happier with Torchlight than with 90% of all games relesed in the last decade.

Hey guys, don't kill eachother because of a bitch who likes free things. @Thunderpeel2001:One of the main reasons I read and try to regullay post on Thumbs is to get some expiriance using English outside of scool books and I would be very thankfull if you could told me such things when I'm ununderstandable(exept spelling) again.

I know. I'm trying to get better but steam is just laughing at my face and at this time of year I can't afford to write half page long opinions all the time. But believe me, in a week, maybe little more, maybe little less I'll spent some more time on Thumbs actually writing stuff, not just reading it(remember that book I mentioned?).

I beat it yesterday and did the exact same thing. I called some low power minions to distract him and than simultaniusly attacked him with my magic stick and nukes. The game after 20 hours still fells fresh although I think this will soon be gone since I'm about at that point where I saw most of the diffrent art. Also I'm missing the option to buy indentify scrolls because I get into the mode where I sell armor unidentifyed because I know my current one is better and save scrolls for weapons. Also, as much as a dog can be helpfull, it can also be incredably anoying. When I'm fishing, trying to concentrate on those 2 blue circles he is happilly running around with his tung out of his mouth and tail waving.

You still can buy something for someone else: )

Defense grid for 2.25? Bioshock for 5? Man I'd like to write [pretty eyes] here, but I'd look like ***** since one prety nice person gifted me Torchlight already(which I'd be playing right now not to be mistaken if there wouldn't be so much work for school).....[pretty eyes]

[insert thread title here] and Happy New Year! Also doesn't 2010 look so ''space-y''.....2010, year of the space asshole...well, it has 2 holes in the number....2010,year of the double space asshole.... ......thats terrible:tdown:
