Quiet Rumblings
Sorry I’ve been so quiet lately, folks, but I’m coming up on the end of my semester here and I have quite a lot on my plate. I have two papers to write (both about dry-as-cardboard subjects, I might add) as well as a Flash project that needs to be completed within the next week.
So, I’ve been burying myself in my work. Lest I end up having to do all of it the night before the...

Shamelessly Stolen From Lots of People
1: Full name: The Number A, esquire.
2: Zodiac sign: Taurus/Aeries cusp.
3: 3 Fears: Being homeless, ending up with another abusive partner, clowns.
4: 3 things I love: My friends, my cats, pasta.
5: 4 turn ons: Hats, women in tuxedos, a good smile, a sense of humor.
6: 4 turn offs: Testicles, zealots of any kind, liars, people who don’t learn from their mistakes.
7: My best friend:...
Faceslicerbook
Is it odd that I find these kinds of comments less creepy than stalker fantwats? Perhaps this comes from spending so much time in a fandom where the more brutal the sentiment, the sweeter it is.
So, yeah. People who say they wanna make a couch outta Doug’s skin husk? That doesn’t creep me out. People who send in confessions about how they lose sleep at night because of a crush on...
Straight Edge Enclave
I dunno about that. I have the same problem with “Straight Edge” types that I do with vegans. Meaning that because my particular lifestyle doesn’t match theirs, I am endlessly judged for it.
Hey, if you wanna live your life without eating meat or ingesting mind-altering substances? More power to you. But please don’t make me feel like an asshole because I enjoy doing...

Another Empty Bottle, Another Empty Promise
I have often likened myself to a pillar. To wit: a structure that provides support yet seemingly needs none of its own. When stable, very little can deter it from its purpose.
And besides, pillars don’t crumble if they don’t get enough hugs.
I’ve been told that point of view is a little depressing. While I can kinda see why some people might see it that way, I really...

Something AMAZING just happened to me!
I woke up and I could breathe without having to choke down some antihistamines! It seems that my allergies have run their course, and my brain will shortly return to a non-Benedryl addled state.
Hopefully the quality of my writing will improve, I’ve made several oversights in the last few days that I wouldn’t have made if I were paying proper...
Obscurus Lupa: The Giant Post Wherein Scripts Are... →
obscuruslupa:
So, I’ve decided to upload all of the scripts for OLP and Manic Episodes. Why? Well, because I’ve seen a few comments about it, and there are quite a few folks who are hard of hearing or who don’t speak English as a first language and have a little trouble understanding me. Also some folks might…
Ah, yes, my younger brother Miles....

Noah Acts Like A Giant Asshole
A little butthurt, OP? First of all, Spoony has been like that all along. Except all the times he’s pulled this before? It’s been directed at people/things that you, yourself, didn’t like. The minute his diatribes start on something you hold close to the heart? THEN he’s an asshole. THEN he’s psychotic.
The entitlement of the Spoony fanboys (and girls for that...

The Art of Pwn
I’m going to relay a story to you all, one that perfectly demonstrates my… often not typical reactions to things.
A few years ago, the house two doors down from me was a den of underage drinking and debauchery. Not that I really cared. As long as those kids had somewhere to go that was safe, I didn’t have too much time to be bothered by it.
Until the parties were several...
Not Enough Singers For A Musical
I have to agree. I fear that it’d end up being a total farce… and not in a good way.
tgwtgsecrets:
“I really don’t want a musical. It’s not that I don’t like musicals, it’s that I honestly don’t think a lot of the people on TGWTG can sing well enough to make an anniversary length special work. Some can sing…okay…and its fine for a small normal sized review, or a simple gag, but not...

Sort of Pathetic. (Not at all!!)
Oh man, that isn’t pathetic at all. A few years ago, after my own traumatic and heartbreaking experience, I immersed myself in fanfic. I had never successfully completed a fic with chapters, and this one had 10 of them. To this day it’s one of the only things I’ve ever written that I still maintain a bit of pride and affection for.
More than that, when I go back and read it...

Itsuka Isshoni Kagayaite
JesuOtaku gets me excited about anime. While Sage blinds me with pure, unadulterated beams of nostalgia, JesuOtaku manages to tap into the roots and nourish the nearly-withered leaves on my little otaku tree.
Her Top 20 Villains episode is the best example. I wasn’t familiar with all the villains on the list, but the ones I didn’t know got me interested in where they come from....

Videos and Violence
Today is a story of … Violence. Video Violence to be exact. My friends and I have a long and complicated history with the movie, and it was Brad’s review of this particular flick that introduced me to his work.
Flashback to about ten years ago, my friend A (the Letter A let’s call him) worked at a local chain of video stores. He used to bring home the shittiest b-movies that...

It’s the conclusion to the Frogtown saga, Max Hell Frog Warrior! Enjoy. :)
Also just a reminder, you may need to see the Scott Shaw video for some context beforehand.

This girl clearly suffers from what I like to call the Competition Complex.
The character of Winry Rockbell is hated throughout most of the Fullmetal Alchemist fandom. At least, she was when I was an active member. The only reason for hating her, as far as I could tell, was because Edward is in love with her. Winry represented the idea of Ed not being accessible, and to a fangirl that just...

A Few More Thoughts on the Lorax Review (And...
It’s a little early this year, but considering the mild winter my state has been enjoying … it makes total sense. The trees are already starting to bud, and as a result the next week for me will be made up of post-nasal drip, low-grade fevers and seventeen pounds of Kleenex.
I hate spring so much.
I hope that you guys can forgive me for what will be an inevitable drop in quality,...

If samefag wanted to discredit Lindsay, all he did was prove that he’s in a tiny minority. XD

Y’know, guys, I have to agree with you. It doesn’t just reek like samefag, it talks like one, too. All but the last you posted in this bunch have the same “voice”, as in the same cadence of punctuation.
There are good and bad reasons to be butthurt.
If I got upset every time someone did a negative review of something I liked, I would’ve slit my wrists after...

But, HURT! Confessions of An Ugly Gross Disgusting...
I’m not usually offended by any jokes a TGWTG reviewer makes There have been a few times when I was a little miffed about something a reviewer has said or done, but nothing has offended me to the point where I’d stop watching them.
One recent joke made by a reviewer has come pretty close, though.
“It smells like I fingered a fat girl.” said Brad Jones — the idiot...

Constructive vs. Destructive Criticism
Before you guys read this post, I have a small assignment for you. It won’t take long, I promise! I just need you to check out the comments on Lindsay’s The Lorax Review.
I hopped on to see if I could spot the Universal Studios sockpuppets enacting damage control, but instead I found mounds upon mounds of trolls.
One the trolls says something along the lines of “If you...

Insomnia As A Way of Life. Also, Comic Books.
Sometimes, I just don’t sleep. Like, at all. This isn’t something that happens all the time, a few times a year at the most … usually right around when the seasons change. My personal record is 82 straight hours without a ounce of shut-eye, but it’s more common for me to just burn through 36-48 hours with maybe two or three non-consecutive hours of fitful napping....

Feel Free to Ignore This
This is what happens when I take a day or two to spend some time gaming. I think too much, and I end up inflicting my sorry condition on you guys. Please forgive my babblings about nothing. I will warn you that there is potentially inflammatory content under the cut, and that if you are easily offended by things of a political nature, do everyone a favor and DO NOT READ IT.

Sexuality By Word of Mouth
I don’t know if this has come across in my posts, but I’m a gay woman. Notice I didn’t use the term ‘lesbian’, there. Why? Because I really fucking hate lesbians.
Before you flame me, allow me to explain.
The ‘lesbian’ sub-culture does not appeal to me. I don’t like ‘The L-Word’, or Ellen, I don’t spend my summers following...

Some More Thoughts On Fandom
Fandom is a weird and wonderful thing. You meet all kinds of people from all walks of life, you express and experience a ton of ideas you otherwise wouldn’t and creative freedom is paramount.
That’s not to say that some people don’t toe the line.
And I’m not just talking about people who write/draw abominable things for the sake of being abominable. Even those people...

New Project!
I know I’ve been quiet the last few days, but that doesn’t mean I’m leaving. Ohh no. I’ve got something… big … in the works. It took me awhile to work out the kinks, but finally… I can get down to business and start producing something akin to meaningful content.

You're In My Way, Sir
I was at gaming store the other day to pick up a PS1 memory card when my attention was distracted by something else:
A used copy of SWAT4 AND the expansion pack. I picked up both for a pittance and have been immersed in them since.
Spoony is entirely to blame for this.
