  1. Is there a larger size version of it?
  2. @TwiLyghtSansSparkles: Where did you get the Funtimes fan art for your profile pic? It's awesome!
  3. I want to re-watch Over the Garden Wall but it's hard to find the time with this wild gorilla on the loose.

      Are you sure that's a gorilla? 

  4. Zombie cows ought to be easier to see coming and escape from than the billions of man-eating rabbits that will soon be in existence, but I am surrounded by cattle ranches on all sides. Sorry world. I'm selling you out for my own safety.
  5. There is no sequence of words in the English language that can be strung together to give justice to this awesomeness. Well... maybe "HOLY SPARKING CALAMITY THIS IS AMAZING!!!". But somehow that seems a little lackluster.
  6. Californians feed by raking organic granola off of their lawns. The stuff simply materializes out of dry oats floating in the air during droughts and is your primary source of sustenance during these difficult months, with the obvious exception being those times when you manage to run and down and feast upon Republicans. (With a nice side of vegan salad.)
  7. I... honestly, I keep losing track of what goes on around here, which makes getting back into the everyday discussions a little difficult. Embarrassing, I know, considering how close to the forum's pulse I used to be, but there it is. I'm pretty badly out of touch. ...I'll try to keep up a little better, and maybe get some RP posts posted. It's been forever since I've done any of those.
  8. Are you going to make your New Years' Resolution not to interact with awful people whenever you can help it? Because I feel like that should be your New Years' Resolution.
  9. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good cookie!

    ...because we could all use a good cookie.

      Bear in mind I may be a bit hungry right now.

  10. Remember kids! Celebrate the holiday or everyone you know will freaking freeze to death!
  11. I liked this movie. I liked it so much, I wrote a poem about it: Rogue One, Rogue One, you had a good run. Rogue One, Rogue One, I can tell you had fun. Rogue One, Rogue One, you wrote it so everyone died. Rogue One, Rogue One, well at least you tried. I'm being a bit tongue-in-cheek here. I really did enjoy it. I spent a while confused about what was happening or who anyone was, but it had some cool concepts and some seriously epic action scenes, and overall I enjoyed my time in the theater today. If anything... I just feel like it tried to be too big. In some ways, if you're doing a movie about a planet-destroying space station you've pretty much got to go big or go home. But the pace was so quick, the characters so numerous, and the exposition so heavy that I never felt the ability to connect with anything that was happening. I think more attention should have been given to a smaller cast of characters, whose backstories and motivations could then have been more sufficiently explored. You see, what I expected was something more like this: there's a cast of characters on a variety of Imperial-controlled worlds, who witness daily injustices committed by the Empire and ultimately decide to join the Rebellion, all in their own ways. They all have their own unique skills that are vital to the cause, and all wind up on one of the most important missions the Rebellion has ever orchestrated. I expected, or at least hoped, for a film that explored more of the day-to-day realities of living in a galaxy dominated by the Empire, and an exploration of what it takes to push good, moral people to take up arms against their government and join an organized terrorist group. (This review is putting me on a watchlist, by the way.) Instead, what we got was a lot of characters about whom we know very little, engaging in tasks that are important, but to which we only see the payoff in a movie that came out decades ago. Aside from the concepts for the characters, which are admittedly pretty cool and I'd have loved to see explored in more detail, and a few battle scenes that admittedly got my adrenaline and testosterone pumping, there's not a lot to remember about this movie, and its attempt at being as huge and fast-paced as possible ultimately brought it down. Conclusion: Rogue One choked on its aspirations, but it's still well worth a watch.
  12. Nothing like a proud apology. "I'm sorry you can't handle my awesomeness." And agreed. Lyla continues to be an amazing character.
  13. Anyone seen Rogue One yet? We're thinking about seeing it in the theater next week. Wondering if it's any good.
  14. Thanks--that does actually help a lot. I'll just let my mind wander a bit and see if I can't find something I can throw myself into again.
  15. Anyone else get this depressed feeling at the end of the year... feeling like they haven't accomplished everything they wanted to? I mean, I'm not a person of lofty goals, but still. I've wasted time and abandoned projects and... and overall just not achieved what meager goals I set myself. Write and publish a short fanfiction. Finish a personal database on all the worldbuilding I've done in my head. Overall just create something I can be proud of. Something I can point to, smile, and say "I made this." ... I guess that was vague and unspecific. Just saying, I feel generally depressed at the moment. :/
  16. Actual conversation from somewhere on the Internet: Internet Person #1: "It's a shame bronies like me are hated so much on the Internet." Internet Person #2: "I don't hate bronies, but MLP is total $%!@. I now know that you have very low standards for entertainment."
  17. Holy heck, Quicksilver's been rampaging for the better part of a year now. The City Guard's really gonna have a pay cut after this. ...and by City Guard I mean me. Does anyone remember any plans in particular where this fight is concerned? If not I'm just gonna write Deathwish going in guns blazing.
  18. This was all you really needed to say.
  19. Happy Holidays!

    Unless you celebrate Cthuludevourshumanitymas. In which case... I hope you have a moderately happy but disappointingly uneventful holiday.

      I don't know about uneventful. The new ritual Walmart is selling might finally work.

  21. I'm severely missing Over the Garden Wall.

    ...and that's a rock fact.

      We all are. We knew it had to leave...but that doesn't make it hurt any less. -_-

  22. For not being around as much.
