I don't understand the idea behind anon "crit."

I didn't get it back in the Sages days and I most certainly don't get it now.

First off, why the hell does anybody get to critique how anybody is playing if they're not causing problems, either by taking a character OOC or by being a complete prick behind the scenes? Whenever I would post on BRPS, it was invariably for one of those two reasons. (Or the magical blurring of the IC/OOC line, which is its own special sparkly problem.)

I can understand "crit," as it were, if there is a character choice that is genuinely horrible, i.e.; taking a character like...oh, I don't know, let's say Sgt. Klinger from M.A.S.H. and turning him into Rambo.

Because that's just stupid.

I can understand "crit," as it were, if there were genuine behind-the-scenes problems, i.e.; somebody decided to deliberately stir up drama and shit for the same reasons some children step on anthills, and they got called on it. I can understand going anonymous for that because you don't want the crazy getting splattered all over you.

Fine.

I do not understand the mentality of opening yourself up for anonymous textual castigation because that's just...the way it's done.

Look. If somebody has a problem with me and my storytelling, well, I'll be bummed. I might even lose a little sleep over it, because storytelling is my creative outlet of choice and has been since I was a kid. But if that somebody cannot tell me so to my face, then I'm sorry, but it means nothing.

I was called on this attitude, because of the way I expressed it in the anon meme. (My exact words were, "Fuck you, Anon." Which...yeah, not so classy, I cop to it. But I was pissed...and also slightly tipsy, which excuses nothing but does at least explain it.) The way it was explained to me was that Anon Crit had its place for various reasons, most of which hinged around the fact that Anon Crit usually comes from people who are "too shy or too scared" to do it signed.

I'm sorry, but there was nobody "shy" or "scared" on the last Anon Meme. That was wankers stirring up crap and getting away with it because they couldn't be identified.

I have up an HMD and have participated in the last two go-rounds at C&C. I have made myself available for discussion, as olesia and Kris and several others will tell you. I am not going to bite your head off if you tell me I'm "doin' it wrong"...

...But at the same time and by the same token, just because somebody tells me I'm "doin' it wrong" doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly drop months of development and play to please them. I have my interpretation of my characters, they are chips covered in delicious melted cheese. Nacho characters.

TL;DR - If anon is so brutal to you...stop ripping your shirt open and begging anon to stab you with an ice pick.

Thank you and good night.

I wanna pick your big sexy brain and come up with some plausible comic-book pseudoscience.

So yesterday on fandomsecrets somebody posted a secret about how they would totally do the horizontal bop with Rimmer. And I giggled and squeed.

Then...some people over from capeandcowl decided to spam comments.

About how Starscream was the one who posted the secret.

Because apparently everybody on C&C ships Rimmer/Starscream now.

And then, Elle went and made fanart on the C&C Tegaki board.

I'm...laughing hysterically over here.

Hey Slarti?

Can you give me a hand with LJ-Login? A friend is getting weird error messages, and I said I'd give you a holler.

Here's what she's getting:


JavaScript Error: "this._storage is null" {file: "file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsLoginManager.js" line: 464}]' when calling method: [nsILoginManager::findLogins]" nsresult: "0x80570021 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://ljlogin/content/ljl-lib.js :: LJlogin_mkuidmap :: line 343" data: yes

:D? And, yes, she's uninstalled it three times.

Takh?

Abby?

Are you........dropping C&C or what?

There's a Red Dwarf ARG.

When you click around and do some playing, you eventually will find a 7 minute behind-the-scenes making-of video, featuring the four blokes and Doug Naylor.

( Reactions to that video, possible spoilers. )

Chris Barrie doing a Jeremy Clarkson impression, talking about Carbug. I'm dying over here.

So between Andy playing Thundercracker as played by Young And Hot!Eddie Vedder, and Ryuu playing Starscream as played by Young And Hot!Christian Slater, I'm starting to develop a Decepticon fetish.

Which is so far from being right that I'm approaching it from the other side.

Ryuu is also trying to get me to learn G1 Transformers canon so I can possibly play Skywarp. I'm terrified by this idea. We also agreed that Skywarp's PB should be Young And Hot!Matthew Broderick. Pretty, dumb, and able to teleport himself into a lady's shower.

Seriously. All the old school Sages Hero Players, and Marvel Mansion Players and Watchtower Players who are not at those games no more...come over to capeandcowl. It's bloody awesome. Moves like a damn freight train, tho, fair warning. Fifteen posts a day is about average, and those 15 posts will have 100+ comments each, and pretty much every post moves plot along.

We don't have a Batman. There's very little in the way of Marvel villains. There's not a single member of the Hawk-person clan there. No Fantastic Four, although there is a Namor. No Professor X. No Storm. The Green Lanterns are sadly underrepresented. No Black Canary or Dr. Midnite. There's no Hellboy. There's very very few Harry Potter characters. (ABBY WHY ARE YOU NOT PLAYING SNAPE THERE SERIOUSLY?!?)

There's a good mix of serious business, silliness and action. And the player base, while pretty darn young (I'm one of the oldest players there D: ), is totally rad.

OKAY ADVERTISEMENT OVER now I'll be over here, fantasizing about Starscream and Thundercracker and me as a Decepticon Sammich. >:3

Oh god.

They've given Rimmer a woman in the new episodes.

She's a hologram.

A gorgeous, talented, competent, busty, brunette hologram.

If she were blonde I'd totally be wondering if Doug Naylor was in my ceiling watching me masturbate reading my RP/Fanfic.

Also, apparently Kochanski is dead and Holly is having major Blue Screen Of Death problems.

Also also, apparently the episodes end with a "shocking twist."

...If it's another godawful cliffhanger, I swear to god I am flying to London and kicking Doug Naylor in the penis. Hard.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY LOOK AT HER! Rimmer's all "Bitch I'll cut you. >:[ But then maybe we'll shag."

Holy crap did I just actually post something to D_M? :O

Hee, I love this post so much.

Starscream + Rimmer = Heterosexual life partners Y/N?

Abby, Takh, Jillian...

Behold.

There, Abby. Satisfied?

So uh yeah I went ahead and put Rimmer on hold over at DaisyChain. Apping him on the 11th. (I would have apped Dr. Horrible but somebody's already playing him, the bastard. ( ._.)9 )

I'm just torn now, whether or not I want to play him as Hard Light Hologram Season 6!Rimmer, or if I should play him as Post Series 8 Real Living Boy!Rimmer. Both have their upsides and downsides. Aaaaand I'm now going to babble about them at length! :D

( All Rimmer, all the time. )


...omg i've missed RPing so much...

ETA: Well, that answers my question from the FAQ:
As we've come to realize, not all types of characters work for this game--the rule of thumb is that your character should be alive (many of our characters arrive fresh from near-death experiences, but they should not actually be dead) and organic, i.e. not entirely a machine.

Post Series 8 Rimmer it is!

hahahahahahahahah oh god the old school nexus wanks are starting up on BRPS again!

Sockpuppets!

Accusations of suck!

Followed immediately by the rallying cry of NO U!

IRC crap!

All we need at this point is a Kali/Daisie/Tsu appearance and we're in flavor country.

Here's a solution: You're all retarded and so am I.

So by now everybody has seen/heard of the application and vetting process for Obama's cabinet.

One of the questions regards all online interactions, as in Facebook pages, MySpace, etc. Et cetera.

Can you imagine, for just one gloriously hilarious moment, if a Nexus EllJay ArePeer tried to get a position and had to fill out this questionnaire?

"...You have HOW many LiveJournals?"

"Ninety seven."

"....And you do what with them?"

"I pretend to be a superhero. I also write great sex scenes, but don't worry, those are under a filter. Oh, and also most of my characters are having gay sex. Or sex with an animal who's also a person and also a half-dragon. Oh, and ignore Floorwang, he's just a weirdo."

Seen on BRPS_Adult:

"{Name redacted} said this while unzipping his pants and letting them drop to the side, revealing his penis that was like a scale model of a colloseum pillar."


AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ohgawd

So does that make the balls the portico? And where do the friezes with their lutes, lyres and skins of ouzo go? I'm guessing around the belly-button area. The less said about stylobates, the better.

OH GOD NO HOW DID THIS GET HERE I AM NOT GOOD WITH DRAGON EGGSCOMPUTERS

In other news...

Firefly has finally caught up with me and is kicking at my brainstem with big futuristic boots.

Goddamn you, Hulu, for giving me access to free nerdery.

(Wash you're my favorite. Black market beagles!)
