Elfen High 2 (OOC 7, Closed, Humans Not Allowed)

Or it could be that Mario Kart is simply a far better game.

This is also perfectly true, since it's not like I dislike violence in video games. I play Mass Effect and Gears of War often.

Call of Duty isn't a game - you press a button and a helicopter appears out of nowhere to reduce men to mangled messes. How is that entertainment? You aren't stimulating your brain - the scientifically-proven point of games - you're stomping around a grim, depressing world doing grim, depressing things in the name of "fun". It is the equivalent of turning on your TV to watch war footage, and enjoying it.

Nothing has ever frightened me (me) more than when I've come across some thirteen-year-olds discussing the tactical advantages of one gun over another.

I've had someone try to argue with me that Call of Duty games are more stimulating and entertaining than Total War games. Many tables were flipped on that day.

Simulation is something that games like Mass Effect, Team Fortress 2 and Borderlands 2 pull off quite well, unlike Call of Duty, even though the prior three are also shooter games.

What I like about Team Fortress 2 is that "shooting" will get you nowhere but dead - each attack is an individual puzzle, to be solved not with a bigger gun but with some clever maneuvering. It actively encourages creativity, rather than replacing it with military porn.

It's also quite tongue-in-cheek, which goes a long way.

Borderlands 2 is also quite tongue-in-check and hilarious. Mass Effect is a serious game series, but it's fucking awesome for reasons other than the battles, since there's a very intricate storyline and well-built world going on there.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Anyway, Nat, throw up a post as Lewis and then I'll be some time in my next one, which I plan to fit much in.

This goes down to what I like about Elfen High, too - we have fight scenes, which are usually stupid, but we don't just have people pull out guns and shoot. If you do that, your writing is boring and I don't read it. (Sorry to tell you this now, boring writers.)

Instead, we have people running around, screaming, and making shit up. Which is what Doctor Who cool, too.

Ugh.

I find fight scenes to be a bit difficult to do with our particular group, really. So I tend to get them out of the way when possible. I like doing them by myself in my own work, but they're annoying in the rp.

So I've decided that I will worship Macho Madness from now on, and perhaps one day he will bless me and I too can become the cream of the corn.

I need not care. Macho Madness will protect me like he protected Elizabeth. With a chair.

Serious note though, did you try to understand the intellectual journey, a difficult task for you?

That's a problem right now. See, I don't have access to a car until I have a new job. I got half of my goal done, I'm going back to school.

I was going to bitch about it being a slow day, then I realised I needed to post everywhere.

[The Inritus Extraho]

Well then. Your move, Pixar.

[Nationstatelandsville]

Well then. Your move, Pixar.

...Holy shit.

This both makes more sense and is more insane than After Hours. I didn't think that possible.

I'm waiting for Corvallis to snap Alison in half.

He's a Sanchez. It's in his blood.

He's also a hipster.

Because hipsters can't be badasses.

Wizard comes from war? That's awesome.

And total bullshit.

Ah. I figured that was a distinct possibility.

I correct myself: That would be awesome.

Who are you going to believe? Me? Or facts?
