I swear... I'm in seven... SEVEN freaking threads and I haven't been able to post in any of them for nearly a week.I am this close to just bailing on this entire site... *grrrrrrr*Addendum: I should point out that the complaint wasn't specific or directed at anyone here. At least this one has a post every once in a while for me to read :) The others are all just stopped or refuse to start.

I think my heart skipped a beat when I saw those words. The words bailing, dropping, leaving, farewell, Goodbye and all those other words make me feel like this.

The first arc involves X-23 and well she is not my character. Of course I have had my up and downs during this time, for a time I wondered if certain people had disappeared, myself included. I am sure you will like the first arc or I hope so anyway.

I will most likely have Plasma walk into the danger room X-23 and Darkshadow is in, maybe this will be the kick in butt I need. I will probably write it that the simulation ended and the next part is about to take off.

DO IT! The Dinobots are FUCKING AWESOME!!! And the story is quite dark, with only a sprinkling of humor here and there. Like boba on a Menchie's frozen yogurt (mmmmmm... yum). Plus Mark Wahlberg did a great job, I love how all the Autobots are frankly pissed the fuck off with humanity, and Hound is fucking badass. The plot is coherent. And it's all around a fantastic movie. Zero regrets from me. Well... except one. The runtime is a wee bit long... at 2 hours and 45 minutes. A bit of stretch if you ask me. Also I was a little disappointed that Nicola Petz... Peltz(? Fuck it) was basically just a damsel in distress, but fuck, if it gives Marky-Mark a reason to fuck up Decepticons with a fucking sword laser, who gives a shit?

But hey, don't listen to me. Don't listen to Assallya. Don't listen to any critics (fuck them anyways. Critics only think a movie is good if it is ground-breaking in some manner. Fuck. Them). Okay? Go watch it and form your own opinion. Can you do that for me? People should never let someone else's opinion stop them from forming their own about anything, particularly movies and video games.

[MistressCyanide]

OK all I need now is Solemn to do there kick ass part and then we are off.

[Assallya]

Let me just point out that I'm not quitting and I'm not ticked at anyone in particular. I'm just frustrated with the sheer number. Worse still, can you imagine if they all started posting full speed at once? I'd be overwhelmed. Thus I feel uncomfortable joining any new threads.

I just feel really whiny.

[MistressCyanide]

^I know how you feel, I had many past experiences where that sort of thing happened then suddenly a burst of posts happen. I feel being whiny here is a valid thing to do since some form crap happens. I whine because people drop me without a reason or back while the old guild was up saying they never got my PM which is still call BS. I also whine about all people want is an academy, anime and fandom RP's with no OC's. But then that is just me.

[Zagan]

Will do crimson :) and i get what ur saying about rp pace. Btw do i want jax and/or john for the arc if its away from the manor?

[MistressCyanide]

^Well John is your main one, so him I guess.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Yeah, I have a similar problem. Sometimes I just feel like every RP I touch turns to shit. But I won't quit. Ever. Also, not sure if I should use Leon or Steve. While Leon has combat prowess, he's just supposed to be my Manor Monkey... Even though he's a tiger. Steve is my new main, but he always runs DR sessions alone so that he can be as aggressive and dangerous as he wants. So no one even knows that he can fight. As far as anyone's concerned, his only power is as a chameleon.

[Zagan]

yeah, how does that work when his power is Heamokenisis? so if Jax asked him to turn like lime green lol :P

[Assallya]

Oh, and I could go on at length with everything that's wrong with the new transformers movie but that would involve quite a lot in terms of spoilers.

Let me just add that Optimus is now the ultimate Mary Sue. Who needs a medic. He can spontaneously heal, no matter the previously mentioned need for a repairs. Then he somehow leans to fly at the end, a feat that would have come in quite handy previously in the movie and probably previous movies once you reflect upon it.

Where's the continuity direction?

[MistressCyanide]

Well until the day it stops being watched we will keep getting them, personally I want to see Bad Boys 3. Mary Sues are everywhere these days and I will probably see it Tuesday because why the fuck not. What I am waiting for at this point is GOTG which I hope gets a sequel and not cursed as a stand alone film. I have already seen several good films, I guess a few bad ones should happen like that shit 300 sequel which we did as a dare, a weird one at that. I personally don't really like Mark Welberg, the only time I liked him was in Four Brothers and that is it. I was meh when I saw him in Ted.

So? I enjoyed it as a movie. You didn't. Zagan? Don't let that stop you from doing what you want. In the end, while our advice is good, the only one who can determine whether or not you like it. Is you. No?

It was due to a problem that needed fixing. Eventually we said fuck it and went with Organic Pigment.... Er... Something. Fuck, I don't remember. How can Emma have telepathy and diamond skin? I did ask permission though, so it's all good

I don't think she is telling anyone not to watch it, just what she felt when she saw it. That is what I got from it when I read her comment.

[Assallya]

Many mutants have benign mutations that have little or no effect to the main theme of the character. What is the point of Nightcrawler's fur?

As for the Transformers, suspension of disbelief is a big thing for me. The movie was an insult to writers and role players everywhere. Let's say that I prefer a reality that makes sense. How am I supposed to prognosticate on further installments? How am I supposed to even know what's going on? I spent the entire movie in a confused daze. Now I just need closure.

First: All the autobots are psychotic and attempt to kill one another... but what the hey... It's not like they're the actual autobots or anything. I mean, that would just be silly; using the actual transformers from the toy lines. Nah.

Optimus: "That transformer.. it's Lockdown! I don't know who these aliens masters are that he serves but I know him... and apparently I betrayed his masters personally enough that they sent him after me but forget all that. Look, it doesn't have to make sense. Just start shooting."

Heck there are people are shopping downtown while there's a giant alien starship overhead... when one just a few years before nearly leveled the entire city. Personally, I'd have been running from the hills, not looking up, pointing and saying, "Hey, maybe this time they're friendly. You know what. I need a new pair of pants. Time to hit the GAP. Wait... look, there are flying robots shooting up the city.... Now I really need those pants. They might blow up the store before I finish the transaction."

Then there's the autobots driving from Shanghai to Hong Kong in about a minute flat. Think about it? It's a six hour flight. There's also an OCEAN involved. What the hell? Did they somehow all develop rocket boots and fly there? Did they transform into hovercraft? Wait, if they could all fly... why bother with all that sliding down the sides of buildings thing?

About half way through I just stopped trying to understand what was going on. I just couldn't stop laughing at the stupidity. It was clear that nobody on the writing staff gave a crap so why should I.

Edit: My mistake. It was Beijing. I rather assumed it was Shanghai since it was so much closer to Hong Kong. Beijing is even more ridiculous.

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Okay. Just relax, alright. Clearly you watch movies for a different reason than I do. To be honest, after 3. The fuck did you go see it for?

But, whatever. Opinion this and that. You know the drill. I feel no need to defend the film. After all, it's just a film. Ne?

[Zagan]

Fair enough. I wasnt having a go. Just didnt see (more likely remember) seeing that - sorry :(

[CrimsonWarrior55]

Hey, no problem. Even I know it's a little out of left field, but eh. It solved a problem.

[Assallya]

I saw it because I was a fan of the original transformers and... my friend insisted.

I don't understand how someone can't be insulted by that movie. The writers simply assumed that we, as a people, are too stupid to recognize the flaws in their storyline and thus could afford to be blatantly lazy. Too many things were just damn impossible. Plus, can you even tell me what that movie was about? I watched the entire movie and I still don't know. What were the underlying themes? Science is bad? Humans make mistakes so... you should forgive them for wanton murder?

I need more substance, not a bunch of pretty explosions and fights for no real purpose.
