Syphilis. Too many

Why was my EX boyfriend's correspondence with Robin Scott So much funnier. Literally, Robin did nothing but throw around the word idiot and stupid and insult everyone that uses lover's lab, not to mention America and everyone else. My bf works for the ACLU and I work for the FCC. YEAH I would love to tell Robin Myself that he is TECHNICALLY breaking the law. By allowing kids to even see skyrim content, with out parent consent is against the law. It is a crime known as "Corruption of a Minor" Which can mean serious consequences for our dear friend Robin. Maybe I should get the ultimate ban hammer on him and just get the nexus to become even more strict so he loses more users. He may or may not be receiving a letter. from the FCC about how his current TOS is against the law in the states. And My Ex Spoke with a few lawyer buddies and well.... What I'm doing would not break the 1st amendment so the ACLU would not be willing to step in to stop the "BIG BAD" FCC. And Due to the Physical Server Locations in the united States, The nexus is subject to all laws. He is marketing material for content that is rated M for Mature, Meaning that children under the age of 17 are not allowed to view that material with out express written consent of the parent/guardian. The sad part was He lauged at my Ex when he tried to explain all of that too him. Honestly I think someone just needs to Contact the dark brotherhood, or use Call Storm on his servers. Nothing like an act of god to ruin a business. OH WAIT ITS NOT A BUSINESS BECAUSE ITS FREE!!!11

No offense pal...but this is really far-fetched.

I'm having a tough time believing you work for the FCC.

Why can't I see out the windows of your white van?

 

Oh shut up and eat your candy.

 

This is just like bible camp all over again. 

 

You were at that camp too?

Granted you will swap your functional hands with xthejester.

 

 

I wish for an undead fraction in every video game.

Oh great. Now I got "gay" hands. I'm gonna end up jerking off so much more now.

((Increase your calm...it's a joke, not homophobia. I'm making the comment as a parody of the homophobic nonsense that fools might be apt to say in these situations.))

she fell ill.

Ravenous brain maggots

Alright, then my turn. Mine are kind of tame compared to previous ones since I couldn't really think of any, but here we go.

 

1) I am an experienced fencer (the sword-fighting kind, not the barriers you put on your lawn)

 

2) I can speak four languages fluently

 

3) I love blue cheese

I'm guessing #3 is the lie.

So the people

I'm calling BS on Christina Ricci, but only because ol' Bill totally seems the type to high five.

Anyway, I'd play along, but my life is boring and I have nothing worth sharing that could make for an amusing guessing game.

And see...you'd be wrong.

My two truths have been revealed...hence the lie is my High-5ing the former President.

Whoever wants to go next, can.

 

 

I'll go crazy and pick 3

 

Nope...sorry.

 

 

oh lolz I totally read the title wrong, I thought it said two lies and one truth, usually that's how it is.

 

soo, if 3 is true.. How'd the show go?

 

About like you'd expect. No idea what the girl was on, but she was clearly more than just drunk. Needless to say, the dog's owner was not amused by the shenanigans at all...and things did not play out to their full conclusion.

I'll go crazy and pick 3

Nope...sorry.

to explode immediately.

Simple game.

Post three "facts" about yourself.

Two of them must be true, and one of them must be a lie.

Then the first person to guess which one is the lie posts three "facts" about himself or herself.

I will go first.

1.) I drank shots with the actress Christina Ricci.

2.) I high-fived Bill Clinton.

3.) I saw a Korean Girl let a friend's German Shepard have sex with her at a house party.

 

 

vampire the masquerade fanboys always manages to get worse than star wars ones

 

How so?

 

 

Allow me to explain...

 

For this my friend exist only Vampire on role play games everything else is garbage for her..She insist to fill my head on why i should play vampire the masquerade videgames, pen and paper and also Live...

 

I explained to her that i have other insterest i do play vampires in past but is so static that after a year you will eventually get bored of it and also the lores as self explanatory you don't have mistery to solve you know where all the vampires come from... I attempted to introduce her in the tes lores with morrowind that was the best example of briliant writing mixed with an interesting world filled with culture and overall detail... She just mocked me telling me...

 

Ah yes another fantasy roleplay setting....like if lord of the rings was not enough...

 

Then she continued to talk about Vampires,Vampires,Vampires all day until i told her to shot up that i don't care because is a stale setting..

 

Fair enough. It's just a matter of differing opinions I suppose.

vampire the masquerade fanboys always manages to get worse than star wars ones

How so?

Well, are they overused? I'd rather say they are underused, at least the "real" ones ... vampires got rather bastardized lately .. only a lot of romantic bullshit,

and skinny guys always losing their shirts while battling bad cgi-werewolves ... all for the love of some zombie-like girl...

 

But to everyone their own interpretation of the various vampire myths...however, though Fanfic for me at least can do whatever it wants, I would at least try and ground the vampire you want to use on some basic Tamriel lore ... not  sure if ascending to godhood is really possible here (not even sure if Tiber Septim ever really achieved this ... blasphemer that I am), but

whatever picks your fancy and is fun to you, do it, and don't care about what is over- or underused. A good story doesn't care about such things anyway. And if vampires is your thing, do it. Can't be worse than a lot of bloodsucker-bullshit of lately....

 

Damn, I wish so hard for a game or movie or series that is based on The Masquerade ... with actual powerhungry vampires that are seducers, abominations, puppet-players, cursed by god and driven by the lust for blood and fear of the eternal death...

Mark Rein-Hagen's vampire game is probably the last vestige of balance between the romanticized vampire, and the legendary monster.  They took the different vampire archetypes and separated them into various clans.

That was something of a master-stroke. Unfortunately...this model didn't translate quite as well when the White Wolf company reproduced it with Werewolves, Fairies, Wraiths, and Wizards.

Don't get me wrong...I enjoyed playing all those games (save for Changeling...I just couldn't groove on the Fey.), but the Vampire game was IMO the best of them. I did enjoy how the system worked...making the games overlap nicely. Werewolf: The Apocalypse, worked well with Vampire: The Masquerade. Which, in turn, worked well with Wraith: The Oblivion. So on and so on.

 

Very played out and used up! Once Vampire's start walking in the daylight, that's all it takes for me to not like the idea any more, I don't even enjoy playing them in game.

I am not 100%ly sure, but I think I read somewhere that this weakness to the sun actually isn't part of the original vampires that at first appeared in folkslore and rural legends.

Time for some research.

 

But it doesn't matter how "outplayed" the idea of vampirism is, if a character is well made then such things hardly matter anymore. But to achieve that this character needs to be created not to be a vampire but simply happen to be one.

 

Origins of the folklore or myths isn't really relevant. It's like trying to nail down dragons. There is no "original" vampire myth...as every culture has had their own version.

It just seems like our modern culture (the last decade anyway, not counting 30 Days of Night) has the lamest bullshit version. The simplest problem with Vampires is the fact that at some point...they went from being damned, monstrous creatures that don't just kill you...but can damn you as well...to love interests and sex fantasies for outcasts.

I blame the romanticism of this on Stoker and his Dracula. And to a lesser degree on the whole notion of Gothic Fiction and its counter cultural backlash against Judeo-Christian morality. "What you call a curse, I call a blessing."

Vampires aren't monsters anymore. Now they're something we identify with...they are the idealized version of us. Swap out the need to feed on blood as a curse, with any other vice we may have...sex, drug addiction...anger issues...and we have ourselves.  Albeit stronger, and basically immortal versions of ourselves.

The last few decades has even mixed sex into it. Not only do vampires feed on humans...but they fuck them now too. Basically...if you're a young, attractive female who is slightly socially awkward...vampires aren't anything to afraid of.  Point of fact...you're their primary demographic for recruitment. Unfortunately for young males...Vampires are not unlike the radical Mormons of the real world. Only the old dudes get any love...not many young men get to be invited to the party.  If they do, its usually because some scheming elder female vampires was making them a pawn of some kind. Not out of "love" like the male vamps seem to like to do in these modern stories.

I suppose that remains a kind of a curse though...doesn't it?

Ancient male vampire gets eyes for a young mortal woman...the young mortal woman gets all swept up in the dark romance and gets made into a vampire herself...

After a century or two...the Male vamp must get tired of his "immortal love" and gets eyes for a new PYT, and leaves his fem-vamp for whatever reason.

The she-vamp is all jaded and upset...so she goes out and seduces some studly young man...turning him into a vamp for her own amusement. But sooner or later, the newly made boy-vamp comes to the horrid realization that he was just a disposable plaything all along, rebels and leaves.

He survives long enough...he eventually gets eyes for a pretty young human girl...and the cycle starts anew.

How fucking miserable is that? For like...everyone.

Moral of this story is...there's no such thing as "immortal love". Truth is...eventually you'll get tiered of whoever you're with.  At least we mortals can get old and die...hopefully before we fall out of love with whoever it is we decide to be with.

How awkward and uncomfortable is it for people who run into an ex after a particularly bad break up? Imagine always having to do it...because you're both immortal.

Shit...I could go on and on about this forever. Bascially...the TL;DR version...being a vampire would really suck.

Thulas is right.

That being said...I have no interest in reading any more Vampire fiction any time soon. It's pretty played out.

So  it's really up to you...write what you want regardless of trends...but know that if you're just adding a few tears to a river, it probably won't get noticed.

its me or most of Appollodown file descriptions on nexus looks like it was written by a crackhead weed junkie?

I find them to be highly entertaining. Tells you everything you need to know, with tons of extraneous details and clever quips.

I quite literally laughed out loud when I read...

"Dovakiin, Dovakiin...not a single sardine!"

Now I can't help but hear that every time.
