As soon as I saw it was about androids, I preordered it. I played through a time and a half. First playthrough I wanted to be a pacifist and keep everyone safe. Only Carl died on me and I kept everyone else safe. Second playthrough I'm trying to kill everyone in my path. And it's just not working. I tried really hard to get Kara and Alice run over by a car. lol Just didn't work out. But I want to plat the game.

Markus is my favorite character. He's so handsome and I feel the worst for him out of everyone, cause he lost his Carl and his happy life. Connor's his own man and can choose his own destiny, and Kara has Alice for company. Markus lost his whole world and didn't deserve that!

@Rallaa: Yep. ^^ He was one of 3 kittens in the litter but we couldn't catch the others. Still, I'm happy we were able to give one little baby a good home, and he's my everything now.

Thanks, @Raxton.

Thank you, @vengeance!

Oh, @Totalanimefan, that actually went completely over my head. I'm just poking around forums right now. When I clicked the cupcake and it said I'm too fresh outta the oven, I just ignored them. lol

I prefer actual paper comics because I've heard of so many web comics being abandoned or companies cheating artists and artists getting trapped into bad contracts, etc. Also, I like having something in my hands that I can reread later. I'm still not sold on ebooks and webcomics.

Stephen King is very hit or miss for me, but when he hits, I love him.

I guess I would say I do think he's overrated, but I envy his success.

I'm a big fan of Misery, both the book and film.

I love the 90s miniseries of IT but I did not love the new movie. I mean, it was enjoyable. But it was more funny than scary. In the theater I was in, everyone kept laughing the whole time. I thought it was hilarious. But the 90s version with Tim Curry, I can't even watch in broad daylight by myself.

There was a Netflix film of something he wrote that was a big hit in the early summer, but I hated it. A husband and wife get kinky and he handcuffs her to the bed, then dies of a heart attack and she can't reach the keys. But she pretends he's really there and talking her through survival. I found it very frustrating and annoying. I also felt that way about A Good Marriage, but it was a better movie.

Loved The Langoliers movie but I think most people do not. Hated Rose Red (is that what it's called)?

Love, love, love the TV series Haven, but hated the book, which is called The Colorado Kid.

I read 11/22/63 and watched the TV miniseries and I loved both so much. I just adore James Franco, for whatever reason, and he was so good in that show. Some things in the show worked a lot better than the book, but there were things I liked better in the book as well.

The Dragon Age series a favorite of mine. I'm playing Inquisition right now and I find it very dull. I miss my linear DA games. DAII is my favorite. At least Varic is in Inquisition cause I'm madly in love with that sassy dwarf.

Nikki was the first game I installed on my phone 3 years ago. I was really enjoying it, investing a lot of time and it just made me feel happy. Then they had an update and it utterly broke the game. It didn't work for like a year, and when they restarted it, it was awful. All our inventories were erased. All our currency was gone. Everything cost real money and the game didn't play the same way.

I know it's different again now, but that really broke my heart and I haven't wanted to try it since.

I could write a whole series of books about my coworkers...but I'll narrow the subject down to one guy.

The first thing he said to me when we met (because he was supposed to be training me), was, "Do you party?" I had a bad feeling about him from that moment but my relationship with him just stayed weird for years.

He was supposed to be teaching me how to do our job, but all he did was sit there and talk to me. It was annoying because A) I was there to work and B) I had literally nothing in common with this guy. Me, introvert. Him, couldn't stop talking. Me, an intellectual. Him...not. lol

Somehow we kept getting stuck in projects together. And he was so completely lazy, he'd cry to our boss that stuff was too hard so I should be the one to do it. I was never in on these discussions; he'd just come up to me in the morning as I was trying to get settled in at my desk to say, "Hey, I talked to the boss and told him this is too hard, so he said for you to do it."

It went on for years. Not just with me; he did that to everyone. He'd sit at his desk and call someone's name and make them go over to his cubicle, then he'd ask, "Hey, how do I do this?" For every basic, routine, newbie thing we do. I finally got fed up and refused to jump when he snapped his fingers, and just shouted to him, "You have the same manual guidance we all do, you're just too lazy to read it!" He laughed but didn't deny it.

One time this bigwig government official came to our office for a tour. He was supposed to give a demonstration of our computer systems and the very day of the demonstration, he chickened out and came up to me to say "I'm too nervous to speak in public so I told the boss you'd do it." This outgoing loudmouth who never shut up was telling the social anxiety-stricken introvert to meet with a four-star general and demonstrate some technology. I told my boss reluctantly that I would do it.

I don't work with him anymore, but...moral of the story is...people who are lazy slackers at their jobs don't always get fired. Sometimes they linger and fester. My advice is to switch shifts, train for a new position, or find another job. There's one no matter where you work, but if someone is 100% unbearable, you can't really just wait for them to get fired cause there's a good chance they won't be.

This seems like the kind of thing you'd give for a gag gift, but never buy for yourself.

I'd hoped to get some housework done, since I usually work 7 days a week but promised myself I'd actually let myself enjoy a 3-day. I ended up working anyway.

1. Jem
2. Disenchanted
3. Lady Lovely Locks
4. She-Ra
5. He-Man
6. Tiny Toons
7. Duck Tales
8. Moon Dreamers
9. Aladdin cartoon series
10. The Little Mermaid cartoon series

I feel like I need another 10 slots. lol I also love Care Bears, Beverly Hills Teens, Pirates of Dark Water, The X-Men, and the Batman cartoon from the 90s.

Oh! This is my new home. lol

1. Willow. Loved the story, loved the characters, and obsessed with Val Kilmer since the 80s thanks to this movie.

2. Red Sonja. She is AMAZING. When I was a kid I found this perfectly shaped stick that was thick enough and just the right length to be a "sword." I always pretended to be Red Sonja when I played outside. But one day my little brother took my "sword" and broke it into pieces for something he was doing outside. I was too embarrassed to tell him that was MY stick. lol! Soundtrack, amazing.

3. Conan the Destroyer. I know people like Barbarian better, but I saw Destroyer first cause it was tamer, so I just loved it first. Soundtrack, super amazing.

4. Conan the Barbarian. Obviously I am in love with Arnold Schwarzenegger. And the soundtrack is amazing. And it was actually cool to see this one AFTER Destroyer, because the other movie was all about his longing to have his love back, and this film shows you not only how she died, but how they met and fell in love. I mean, it's about a crazy snake cult, but it's still kinda romantic. lol

5. Fire and Ice. Incredible animation, incredible setting... And I just really, really love the villain. He's the ultimate spoiled mama's boy with unlimited powers...

6. Ladyhawke. It's just such a classic, tragic set-up: she is a hawk by day, and he is a wolf by night. Just beautiful.

7. Beastmaster. It's a little sad because I hate when animal characters are killed in the storyline, but wow, Marc Singer was gorgeous as Dar. Very creepy baddies in this film. Makes you wonder about the people who thought them up. Ew.

8. 단적비연수 (Legend of the Ginko). I don't think people liked this Korean film very much. It was a sequel (but not really) to Ginko Bed. I didn't see the first film and I don't think it's fantasy, but this "sequel" has the feel of something that might have actually happened in ancient times between warring clans, one fighting to protect a young girl and the other fighting to make her into a sacrifice.

9. The Black Cauldron. I haven't read the full book series but I like the animated film version Disney made. They really did capture the spirit of the setting and characters.

10. Merlin. A made-for-TV miniseries. I'm obsessed with Arthurian lore, and this series made Mordred into my favorite character in the histories. Loved the actor so much, when I saw this show in high school I did my senior thesis on Mordred. I wrote my whole term paper as a defense of his actions. Even though he's a "villain." lol

I've heard of Banana Fish and I'm curious, but I'm not sure where to watch it.

I started watching the new series of Free! but I kind of forgot about it... I guess it kind of depresses me that the characters have graduated high school and are going to separate colleges, and some of their friends are still back in high school, so they aren't constantly together anymore. And it introduced a lot of new characters and now it just feels like a different show...

I'm obsessed with The Bachelor. I never miss an episode. Or of The Bachelorette. Or of Bachelor in Paradise. It's embarrassing but I do openly admit it. lol

I'd love to read the book because I imagine it's even better. I thought the movie was pretty decent but the acting wasn't the greatest. I was happy to see John Corbett because I love him so~ He has such a sweet, handsome face and a charming voice and I love him in romcoms, even if he's just a side character like in To All the Boys and Serendipity.
