Space Marine and Dragonwrangler Bar & Grill

So... what was?

According to current memory, that would be an item known as "The Cannon", I believe. I'v probably seen worse but just forgotten about 'em.

Though technically it'd probably the "The Penetrator" from Saint's Row 3, which is sort of a combination of a dildo and a baseball bat. You can beat people do death with it.

And versions of it do exist in real life, so it does count.

Why do I know so much about this subject? I'm a horrible person...

It's snowing guys. I mean, really snowing. Big, pretty flakes. I don't think the weather people expected the rain to change over.

ION: A friend wants to turn me into a plotter. She keeps recommending plotting books to me and telling me how it'd make things easier. I disagree. I've tried plotting first, and I always feel like I miss the organic tangents my characters would take in the writing process. Like, even if I plan it out, halfway through I have an entirely different story. Who has tried both? Are you able to flit back and forth? Anyone made the switch from one to the other?

I think I do a little of both. I like the guidance of an outline, but it usually takes a few detours along the way.

You're welcome.

Completely stupid party game here: If the Cantina had a dartboard, what pic would be on the board? Right now I'm going for the GW logo.

I give even odds it's whatever WIP we're on at any given moment....

 

[Raventongue]

Heh. What Cobra said.

Er... Might be adjusted if I knew what GW is an abbreviation for.

I'm betting it's Games Workshop (the people who have decided that they own space marines).

Throw darts at the WIP?

*cradles the spastic, curdled, nameless mess that is her WIP* Don't worry, precious, I'll never let them get to you.

 

[Raventongue]

D'oh. Right, I remember that thread!

 

[lilyWhite]

Also, something funny.

He's a superhumanly strong coffee-fuelled grifter possessed of the uncanny powers of an insect. She's a transdimensional out-of-work museum curator who believes she is the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian queen. They fight crime!​

 

[Raventongue]

Guys... Right now the weather forecast is an entire week of above zero. I think I might cry with joy.

 

[Liosse de Velishaf]

You... you really googled it?!

*throws hands up, backs away slowly*

As a present to my draconic readers out there, I thought I'd include some hot scaly dragon-sex in the next novel. Unfortunately, Google let me down. Not only were there no wangs in any of the top 300 results, there weren't even any dragons...

 

[lilyWhite]

In response to the whole "dragonwang" topic, I decided to...erm...look up something on Google that would be more to my tastes.

And found a surprisingly informative and amusing article.

Yeah...

 

[lilyWhite]

Did everyone else die trying to think of what I could have possibly looked up?

In other news, a blog is a truly amazing thing to fangirl into.

 

[Reservoir Angel]

I didn't die, I just got thoroughly absorbed by fanfiction. Again.

 

[Andelana]

Nice to see I have a lasting impact, even when I'm not here.

Also, BW is a Collector of Weirdness. Don't let him fool you with that 'just happen to find weird things' remark!

*sigh* Saint's Row the Third is going to waste so much of my time with these side-challenges. I need to steal 92 cars, complete 38 hostage situations, vehicle surf for 442 seconds, fly through windshields for 173 collective metres, kill 6 military commandos, break up 8 gang operations, complete 26 survival missions, destroy 27 of a specific kind of car, and shoot 280 people in the face.

It's going to take so long, but it must be done...

*puts an arrow through Hillz's WIP's knee*

Oh. Sorry. Is that not how Kill Your Darlings is supposed to work?

I see your point. Dont need to shout. Kill my own darlings. Got it.

No. No. Put the shovel away. HillzputtheshovelawayIwastryingtohelp.

Only 280 people? Why, back in my day, you had to get a thousand headshots just for an Achievement worth a measly five Gamerscore.

*puts an arrow through Hillz's WIP's knee*

ARROWS IN KNEES.

 

[Fenika]

I used to kill so much time playing Carmaggedon... Fast zombies were evil.

 

[Reservoir Angel]

Only 280 people? Why, back in my day, you had to get a thousand headshots just for an Achievement worth a measly five Gamerscore.

That headshot quota started at 500. And that was just 1 of 41 seperate challenges required for the sake of one achievement.

I've completed 32 of these challenges.

EDIT: One airborne explosion later, I have now completed 33 challenges. Only 8 left until I get my achievement. The funny thing is, doing these adds nothing to the game's completion percentage. I've been knocking these challenges off most of the day and my completion hasn't climbed past 72%. So I'm doing this purely for the sake of an achievement and my own anal-retentive insanity.

Guys, I'm nervous! I'm having my first slumber party next Saturday!

 

[jallenecs]

Back from church, did anybody miss me?

It's very difficult to keep playing the piano while simultaneously receiving communion, AND the ashes that mark the beginning of Lent.

Multi-tasking like a champion!!!!!

Why did I read that as "receiving communism"? My brain gets odd when it's tired.

I used to be a work in progress, but then...
