The only thing that slightly sets my mind off is that Edessa, being a Ranger being hired on for a protection job. I guess knowing the paths in the forest is enough of a prerequisite. But when you have it altered/edited or whatever let me know and I'll start work immediately on a post, that's how much I'm itching to write right now.

Zombie group RP?

I know I shouldn't add another RP to my roster, but.....DAMN this is too good to pass up! I've been looking forever for a zombie RP

An interest check is too good to pass up? We don't even know the meat of the setup yet, lol.

Looking forward to the OOC, 'ven.

Brand: Does the scenario you made for Mia/Emil tangible enough to be altered to work with Edessa/Emil or would you prefer setting up a better starting scene (or for me to just do whatever)?

Gaming Journalism

I can count the actual journalists in gaming I like on one hand, even if I disagree with them; like most traditional journalists they tend to be bound by ethics and integrity. But the fact of the matter, "game journalism" is little more than informal blogging; which somehow allows these bloggers to say things that would get actual journalists slammed for slander or other clauses. Now, I don't like blogging or most commentators (I think Joe Vargas has turned into an idiot, personally) but there are some well-worded people out there who do blogging/commenting well without a journalistic doctrine or degree.

I also hate the seemingly "legit" companies like IGN posting articles that are little more than cheap shots (and not real journalism) painting gamers as self-entitled mob mentality trolls/children. When the public rejected the ending of Mass Effect 3, I understood why, and I liked how they were putting their frustration into a public but well-meant place (charity drives for example).

Reviews imo, should be more in line of well-written and ethical comments on the mechanics of a game with maybe some art theory thrown in. Critics will always have their biases, so there is no such thing as absolute objectivity. It's a subjective writing form; but why is game journalism so awful and amateurish to the point of where Rock Journalism was in 1969? This is one of our major mediums, it should have integrity and ethical foundation just like cinematic critics (Christy Lemire, Roger Ebert, etc) and so on.

Oh, and I dislike Anita because she's an idiot who doesn't have a leg to stand on with her lack of research and flawed study, not because she's a woman with an opinion. I'd think the same of a man with the same opinion.

Uh, we can say like a few months? Like 1-3, enough so they're comfortable with eachother, without knowing eachother's deepest darkest secrets.-and oh, we're not using the scenario at the top of Brand's opening post for the IC? Fine by me either way.

I'm re-reading that to see what I can do with that before I decide on going against it or not. Thanks for reminding me about it.

I type on a phone. :(

How do you type what you do with a phone? I'd go insane posting stuff like your first post in the IC on a phone.

*scratches head*

Maybe you just have phone-fu where I do not.

Double post, because my internet is intelligent.

you should lead, Emil is a fairly passive character, so it'd probably be better for him to build off of something. Plus, I'm at work right now, and manager types don't like it when their employees are on the phone for too long.

Typing posts on a phone is dirty, anyway.

Yeah, I'll start something with an arbitary quest or something.

How long has Emil been with Edessa?

Hollow Stone: Slaves of the Apocalypse

Apologies! It's been a rough summer for me, but if you two totally don't want to leave due to my lack of focus I'll put something up pronto!

If you have something to go, I can play off of it. I also could lead, trying to brainstorm in word right now actually.

Could go either way.
