Winter storm warning in April, plus power outtage, resorting to a gasoline-powered PC and internet connection. Sounds more metal than it is.

One of the stranger cold-war films I've seen was a movie about the start of WW3 directed as though it were a western, set in Alaska.

You'd be surprised by how much flavor and spice can go missing from a forum post if you remove all formatting.

Bio

-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.

'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.

That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.

Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.

In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..

RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

BTW, that song goes pretty well to Saving Private Ryan... just laying that out there...

@Gunther
TBF, the Bee movie made a similar mistake with Superior/Supreme court word-ology since the Writers are of California where there courts have funny non-standard names for some reason and they just took it for granted that the legal/law-enforcement system in the rest of America mirror's their own.

It's like if an indie movie comes out of Wisconsin/Illinois and they use words like "bubbler" in a school convo between 7 year olds.
(Bubbler is a brand-name... of the faucet/tap itself, as it sometimes was just that affixed to a ground-well hand-pump [no basin])
-You can technically fix a bubbler to the end of a garden-hose and still call it a bubbler, but not a drinking-fountain.

Although what irks me is if they do a scene that's supposed to be set in Wisonsin and anyone says "water fountain".
I saw my first scary movie when I was a preteen but it was an old movie with less gore and graphics compared to now.
either nightmare on elm street or Halloween. I forget which.


I gotta admit, I thought Nightmare on Elm was a comedy.
I grew up with parents that lumped older R-rated films in with PG-13 ones.
(PG-13 was a new "in-tween" hard-R films and normie PG stuff... so my parents just retroactively lumped all the old soft-R films in the same group)
-So that meant Ghostbusters, CaddieShack, Aliens [in theaters], Die Hard, The Fly, Revenge of the Nerds, Police Academy, Dead Heat, Terminator, The Fog, The blob, ... etc... heck, anything and everything John Carpenter...

Watching unrated films when 7 years old was a bit of a coin-toss, though.

Long story short, if it was a saturday night movie, I could watch it if I could stay awake and quiet.

Staying completely motionless for the duration of the film was just a thing we did.
