...Franklin sounds like the coolest guy ever. Maybe if he'd gotten his choice America wouldn't be such a bunch of giant bullying jerks to the other countries? Oh man, I don't know. If my history books had been so hilarious, I would have probably have gotten a better mark in Modern History.
I love how completely biased it is! Imagine the reasoning behind it – "So I type in the names of the two consoles – ZOMG!! Playstation is underlined in red! Red means BAD!!! Thank you for showing me the light, mighty word processor! I WILL GO BUY ALL THE RANDOM CRAP I NEED TO PLAY DVDS ON THE XBOX WHEN THE PS2 DOES IT RIGHT OFF THE BAT!!" I remember seeing a bunch of clips showing people doing all kinds of things to their computers because they were just so annoyed at them – flinging them from windows, pouring coffee into them, pulling out the keys, taking to the monitor with a sledge hammer. It was a bit scary. Erm...at least they're turning their aggressive tendencies towards the computers rather than another person?
Not even to listen to his babble, all carefully coded to be nonsensical sense? But I totally understand. I rather like all my limbs attached and my skin keeping my innards in and my blood being used to carry oxygen and nutrients around my body. It's not tiny!me – I just look like a little girl in the dress. Although I do have a picture of myself being a horrible, horrible child – cheerfully yanking the tail of one of our dogs, Stubby, while he wheels around to bite my sister, seated next to me. I wonder where it is. (Also I just remembered I will actually have to yell at my dad for some of the Formal photos, so, er, yeah.)
I would have thought zombies were more stinky than brilliant. I recall the advice not to rely on guns, because it'd be very hard to resupply. Also, don't set them on fire. You will get an angry fireball, and it'll take a while before it has any effect. One of the reasons I adore Shakespeare is because of all his innuendo! I remember flicking through my student's copy of Much Ado About Nothing and going "…So many sex jokes. Wow. Um, is there meant to be this many sex jokes?" and my English teacher just gave me this resigned sort of nod. It was bizarre, because all the YA lit they give us treats sex as this HUGE BIG ISSUE and Shakespeare's like, "PENIS! :D". The Drama class at our uni is cool. We met them a bunch of times doing Senior Drama, and they're insane. It's interesting watching them move, they all have this sort of – air about them, like everything is deliberate? And they can do spectacular things with their voices. Have you ever heard a dramatic vocal warm-up? Cuh-ray-zee.
That would be awesome! In Thief 2 you frame a dude with paperwork (I think) but that would be so cool! I can't think of anything that comes close to that…except maybe that weird personality test at the start of that RPG thing to find out what class to be. I ended up a thief. I always seem to. In my idea I was thinking that you would be trying to restore colour, and the better you were, the more intensely coloured you would be – er, it's actually part of a meme I might post later, about designing your own Mental World ala Psychonauts, but the idea grabbed on and wouldn't let go. One of the QCS sections is Writing Task. They give you this big spreadsheet full of quotes and pictures based around a theme, you pick one (or two, or as many as you like, but the fewer the better usually) and write six hundred words of anything except poetry. For my practice we had 'Discovery', and the quote I picked was something about the joy of seeing the world through new eyes, and it had a picture of a beautiful earth-scape – so naturally I had to make the story about the last moments of a stranded and dying astronaut watching an Earthrise from the moon. I did empty cities and bio-computers and freelance post-apocalyptic historians for the other ones I did. It's fun. And interesting finding about the stats of the pictures and stuff, because usually the better entries cluster around a particular quote or picture, and often it's the vaguest. HE DOES! Obliquely. Apparently his son and daughter-in-law went missing in Silent Hill. HMMM. Also AAUUUUGH.
