Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
Draylo said: » Monster Hunter, but the reviews don't look good. Then again I loved the RE movies so its probably the same crowd hating. I mean it's fine. it's not pay twenty bucks to watch it in a theater fine, but it's fine. ($5 and free popcorn on Tuesday fine) Knowing nothing about the monster hunter game it's just another aliens movie and it's not great at being that. Wow, that commercial really was bad. The sad thing is that the game is flashy enough to probably draw people in on its own merits. Splice together some shots of a Monk jumping around all Bruce Lee style with a Black Mage dropping Flare and you've got yourself a trailer. Maybe show a cute catgirl or two. Done!
The audience doesn't need to know that the flashy effects happen every 5 seconds ad nauseum with no setup or satisfying payoff. At least it would have been more effective than that. And then you wouldn't have to hire actors and badly photoshop a Dark Knight into the frame. Show some dignity, at least. What is sad is that they never did anywhere near this level of advertising for FFXI
They knew better than to waste money on it back then.
Idiots like me knew a numbered ff title was coming out and bought it sight unseen. And they totally blew that good will, that ***'ll never work again. I remember they had a cringy trailer for playonline but I can't find it anymore.

Like its a fanfiction guys, I can't publish this -.- Pull a Fifty Shades; search/replace the names and off you go They seemed to be blown away by the fact I have written 600k words since October. I didn't think it was a big deal, but I guess its abnormal. Bruh, this link shows the word counts of some of the most popular books in the world, and a vast majority don't even come close to 600k (even the word count of the Lord of the Rings trilogy plus the Hobbit is only 576,459). Obviously quantity doesn't translate to quality and stream-of-consciousness writing requires a lot of trimming and editing to be coherent, but it's still a lot of frickin' words to put on a page in six months.

The XI pictured in this video is exactly what we have today. Excuse me while I get my flash drive full of jammin' tunes that I can integrate into the game while I wait on more party members.

I definitely need to edit books 2,3, and 4. Book 1 is already online at AO3. But I'm still only like..80% done with the series. Provided I end it in 6 books. I could possibly do a 7th, but I haven't finalized that yet. It's definitely going to end up being around 800k words, pre editing.

I've had a full, original story brewing in my mind for nearly two decades that I'd love to put to paper but I have a really hard time even writing a few sentences due to OCD perfectionism. It's probably 5% done. Would the final product be any good? Who knows. Would it make any money? Probably not. But man would I love to have it finished regardless. I just need to break down that mental block and write something, because I can always edit it later.

Freehugs said: » Forwced baby voices can get annoywing to some people. Lymle from Star Ocean IV was way worse though. its not really forced her dialogue is like that even in the original. Freehugs said: » WHY DO I ALWAYS PAGE DAMNIT YouTube Video Placeholder Well, i do think current world seems overwhelming in terms of information. More than ever you need to create new ways to receive and process multiple types of information, always applying filters, comparison, thinking and storing.
Just reading something is no good anymore, you need to be a proactive reader. Nowaday if you dont develop those skills, you gonna end being manipulated. Made feel think things you shouldnt, feel things that are toxic and useless, or simply just waste your time. More than ever, the ability of ignoring becomes a golden skill to polish. Since all those pandemic events, i simply stopped following journals and such, just once a week reading the headlines. That proved to be more than enough in many aspects. |
