Forget it...everyone seems to take the things I say the wrong way, and then wants to hold me responsible for their misinterpretations.

And this is what I get for choosing to stop talking about Star Wars when there was nobody online to talk to about Star Wars.

True, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't show consideration for others in the thread. If you're hanging out with a friend who talks endlessly about one thing, something you're not interested in, you're going to get pissed off sooner or later.

Not to poke at you here, or anyone, but every time I come here its like I'm re-reading the same exact thing in different words. Someone hates politics, someone loves NES, someone loathes their job, someone has stomach issues, someone is bored/hungry/crazy/etc.

Or maybe I came at the wrong time? laugh.gif


That's actually the truest thing I've ever read on here.

Well, since I seem to repeat myself, might as well not post anymore.

Yep. Everyone, including myself. We all have the tendency to repeat ourselves. I am guilty of repeatedly ranting about the repetition of topics in a single thread . . . So, you're good, Liz.

Guys, drop the topic. Repetitive or not, this thread is used so we don't clutter other threads with spam. If you don't like repetition, start a brand new topic here, and if people ignore you, bring it up again lol

So, I'm trying a new approach with Oblivion. Up until now the process has been play, then write, since I just like writing about my characters. The problem with that is that I'm not necessarily in the mood to do some writing when I finish playing.

What I'm doing now is playing, recording notes as I go, and then when I'm in the mood for writing I'll listen to my notes and go from there.

I've no idea if it'll make any difference, but I figure it's worth a try.

*shrug*

I thought you were gonna say you had made a new one... tongue.gif

Hope this approach works for you in the long run smile.gif

At the very least it should make the writing seem less like a chore. At this point I can spend three or fours hours writing up an hour's worth of gameplay, and not getting back into the game until it's done. I'm sure it has a detrimental effect on both my gaming and my writing.

Now I get to find out biggrin.gif


The only problem is that my voice is terrible. you know those teachers you get in books, the ones that talk in the same dull, flat, monotone, droning on and on.

My handwriting is so bad even I have trouble reading it. Ever since I was a kid (and I mean like a really, really little kid) I've had a problem with over-sensitivity, particularly with touch and hearing. So I had trouble holding a pen properly. In addition to that, I have no handed bias, so I'm neither right nor left handed, without being ambidextrous. I basically don't know which hand I'm supposed to write with. As a result my handwriting has never been anything less than appalling.

*googles ambilevious*

When it comes to writing, most definitely, though I prefer a term I swiped from a Terry Pratchett book: Ambi-sinister.

Outside of that it varies. I'm just weird like that.

Heh, I think I'm about the equivalent to a four year old with a crayon.

At the scool I went to, the rules were that you wrote with a pencil until your handwriting was good enough, then you got a pen. We had handwriting lessons with special books and everything. They only let me write with a pen to avoid sending me off to secondary school without being used to writing with one. laugh.gif

When it comes to writing, my hands are just messed up.

Ah, but that school was great.

One year, my year finished everything half term early, so we spent literally half a term doing nothing. And since it was about the time the phantom menace came out, the teachers went Star Wars nuts. So we ended up in the staff room, sat on the floor watching the original Star Wars films.

Best half a term ever. Actually, best year at that school. I remember the teacher for my class, a gorgeous redhead she was....

1.He's 42, so don't worry!

2.Unidan is a biologist who posted biological posts/facts on reddit and made "learning science cool!" then he did a TEDTalk(scientific/political/social talks and presentations) about funding science and ways it could be done.

And if you wanted me to explain all of reddit:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlI022aUWQQ watch this.
