Quick Fix Game 29: Passionate Rationalism
Pestis the Spider replied to TheMightyLopen's topic in Sanderson Elimination
Can I join as Pestis? Just a slight warning that I never actually played SE properly, so I am a little confused. A few questions (maybe very straightforward, but I just wanna make sure. Do Plants know the identity of other Plants? I am asking this, because that would make Passion Rioters mostly useless for Plants (since as I understand Passion Rioters forces character to reveal their alignnement, no?) What exactly do you mean by "Classical Mafia"? Also, does "doc" mean there is a character with a heal ability (sorry, I probably play too much ToS)? Or do you mean "doc" as in ".doc" text file for a faction? -
What Are You Watching?
Pestis the Spider replied to Silverblade5's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I just watched Manhunt on Netflix. pretty interesting, but what really hit me was this one line in the last episode. "These are your lawyers. You will do as they instruct. If they say you're mentally defective, you will nod and agree in silence." Wow, just wow. This is officially the most f up thing I have ever heard being said. I have no word to describe it, really. -

MOMOMOMO IS BACK! God, Marblelympics always get me excited. -
Clean Fantasy Suggestions
Pestis the Spider replied to MistbornAlpaca's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Oh, ok. I just put words like that in the same bag as other swears, so I got a little confused with the separate category here. Thx for clarifying. -
Clean Fantasy Suggestions
Pestis the Spider replied to MistbornAlpaca's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Sorry I will write a little off-topic, but what in the world is "body related language", and why would anyone need to be warned about it? I am seriously curious. Does that include words like "leg", "hand" or just words describing ehhh... taboo places? Or did I misunderstand it completely? Also is "body related language" actually a phrase used IRL, or was it just created for the purpose of this one post? -
Authors Known For The Wrong Book
Pestis the Spider replied to Ammanas's topic in Entertainment Discussion
So there is this guy, called Eoin Colfer, known for his Artemis Fowl series (at least in Poland that's his most well known series). But one time he wrote this book called Airman. And Airman is the best YA book ever created. It feels like a fairy tale. -
What Are You Watching?
Pestis the Spider replied to Silverblade5's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I just watched How to get away with murder episode 4x08. To be honest I am really struggling in the level of idiocy these characters seem to poses. Especially that apparently all of them are that stupid. One of them brings an unlocked (!) gun for no reason, the other one just waves it around and points at everyone for no reason. Well, no wonder someone got shot. God, I know better how to behave with gun and in my country guns are pretty much illegal, so it's not like you can find a gun just lying in your parents drawer or something. Geezus. -
Batman > Marvel > DC - This is the ultimate truth. That's all I have to say.

What Are You Watching?
Pestis the Spider replied to Silverblade5's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Fate/Apocrypha is baaaad. There are so many better shows this season. And yes, I know it cuz I am also watching it, cuz I am anime addict recently. xD Also I just watched Valerian and city of thousand planets. Such a terrible disappointment. Really badly written sci-fi. Nice visuals though. -
Controversial Opinions

Nooooooooooooooooo. That hurts, man. Although, to be honest I kinda think all YA books are terrible by default. But some are just the worst. -
What Are You Watching?
Pestis the Spider replied to Silverblade5's topic in Entertainment Discussion
So I started watching Elementary. I'm enjoying it a lot so far, but I am starting to think I definitely watch to many similar shows. I just keep guessing the identities of murderers. Obviously not every episode, but enough for me to notice a sort of patent. Oh well. xD -
Random Stuff X: Something Weird
Pestis the Spider replied to marsoupial's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Well, I guess you have to be pretty... eeeeehhh.... resistant to work with animals in this way. That's probably why at university they keep all the animals with spine far away with us. They don't show us anything more than pictures. They only let us work with plants, bacteria and some insects. Fortunately, you can work with plants, bacteria, and some insects for the rest of your life if you want (and most people do, cuz the field of test animals is shrinking every year, as new in vitro methods are being discovered). So don't worry, not all genetic engineering harms animals, and a lot of it is currently working to remove animals from any testing as much as possible. For my dissertation I am actually just working with some cell culture. -

Pestis the Spider replied to marsoupial's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
And I'm majoring in biology. I think we found the problem in our difference of opinions. Edit: Why uncomfortable? I'm seriously curious, cuz I find genetic engineering totally awesome. I actually do study Biotechnology and I am currently starting to write my dissertation in Synthetic Biology (which is like genetic engineering but from very zero). -

The chemistry one is a strong contender, but my choice wins because of extra biology points, and perfect sync with original combo. -
Random Stuff X: Something Weird

I found the best video in the universe, and wanted to share it with the rest of humanity. -
Weekly Planet is my favourite. Fans of movies, comics and so on should enjoy it. Although I have to admit I mostly listen to it, cuz I find it hilarious.

- Rats are wonderful animals that are not disgusting in the slightest. Their tails are their best parts. -
Any Stories You Avoid Because of the Author?
Pestis the Spider replied to Draginon's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Wow. I so don't understand a lot of people in this thread. I completely separate authors from their work. I don't care who they are, what they are, how they are etc. I only care whether I like the books or not. I don't read interviews with writers, but even if I did... I mean I can't imagine reading about someone's personality and going like "omg, I will never read another book of this author". For me none of it matters, only the content of the book matters. I also never analyse/interpret books by trying to guess what author meant with this book that happens in real life. No. Just no. The content of the book is the only thing that matters to me. And nothing can affect that and nothing can be affected by that IRL. -
I see a lot of talk about Lightbringer series here. And this is not the only place everyone praises this series. So I have this question: Is it much different (i.e. better) than Night Angel trilogy of the same author? Because I've read Night Angel years and years ago and I hated it with real passion. So with that in consideration, is there any chance that I could enjoy the Lightbringer series?

FMAB has anime original first episode. FMA has the whole second half anime original. Needless to say anime original content is the most problematic in both anime. I would personally skipping the first episode of FMAB (but since you watched it already, that's too late), and watch the rest of this anime. I wouldn't touch the first FMA with a two meter pole. I mean it's good, but the only good part are already in FMAB eithwe way, and the rest is simply a mess.

I currently read a few books at once. One is German Grammar, one is German dictionary, one is Die Elfen (in German, obviously). I haven't used any German in years and years, and I barely remember anything. Keep your fingers crossed that I manage not to lose motivation and manage to finish this thing, as I just noticed it has like 800 pages. What have I gotten myself into, omg. Beside that I also read Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies. I have to admit that it is going much faster than Die Elfen. I wonder why?

Favorite Non-Brandon Characters
Pestis the Spider replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in Entertainment Discussion
My opinion might be terribly boring, but my favourite character in each work is almost always the main character. -
Checkout western movie soundtracks by Ennio Morricone. Seriously, whenever western is involved, Ennio Morricone is the ultimate answer.
