Tick

Almost certainly the most WTF thing I've ever seen from Japan

Kaga: The ad was way weirder than the picture alone. The comments were hilarious, on that.
Who has the set, now?

^^The increasing number of cats reminded me of games that think it's funny to block a player's view of what they're doing on the screen by putting a large object right in front of the game's camera. It stressed me out, because I suddenly realized I couldn't see what I was trying to look at, and realized it was the cats' fault (which before that point, I didn't think about).

High Casual?

As most everyone else said, a lot of it is people avoiding the sense of pressure of Advanced, while going toward Advanced standards more (or completely). Technically, in Casual, you can still post by the actual standards there, it doesn't have to be Advanced - where in Advanced, you have to meet its standards always.

It's also "cultural." Advanced has the expectation of veterans that have RP'ed often for years, and well. Casual's got a broader range of types of players, or there's less of an expectation. Even though Advanced's standards are surprisingly low, the infamous length requirement being some two paragraphs, the standards look higher because players feel the pressure to meet the same level of work as other players.

High Casual implies stricter policies and more effort than "anyone who can put together a few sentences," a small standard, but takes off the expected pressure of Advanced. Or, that's the idea. It generally ends up having the same expectations because of the same vicious cycle that Advanced gets, where some players do long posts, and other players want to meet that same amount of work.

Pokemon Thread

I always assumed a negative response to the fairy type would be because of all the fairy type designs, not just the name or weird strategy issue.

Do you ever get really high and then become a humanity-altering philosopher?

I've always suspected that our school's philosophy teacher is perpetually high because of his musings. He even made a garden slightly off school grounds. We always suspected there were shrooms somewhere.

People don't always have to be high to have strange reasoning. Some people just naturally see a presidential candidate making a series of points in a rally, and respond, "Is he wearing mom-jeans? He's wearing mom-jeans."

Yeah, it was!

Nice. Awesome game.

Ha, this thread quickly lost its structure/one rule. Not really sure who to respond to, the "Shepard" one was already answered, and the rest I don't recognize.

Obvious one that should get me smote by a higher power (maybe'll get things organized):
“I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.”

Just starting Tumblr!

That's odd. I thought i was using the right posting format of links. :/When I click it it works. :|

Just in case this is a mix-up 'cause of before, that specific thing I talked about with the youtube video is only for youtube videos. Other url's work normal.
This should be unrelated, I figure, but better safe than sorry. Don't want to screw people's shit up.

I'm eating lunch, should I click?

Really depends on how much nasty you've seen on the Internet/from Japan. If not much, then yeah, I wouldn't click.

Speaking as someone who barely watches anime and is among the least worldly people you'll see, I've seen worse. Way worse.
The cheery music and kittens actually dulled the shock value more. It feels like it's trying too hard, it quiets the actual audio of people getting massacred, and I've seen that a lot in all sorts of media, so I'm used to it.

There's a pretty low level of gore detail, just a lot of blood (like when you shoot a video game model, and all you see is 2D splatters). To the point it's cartoony, almost comedic. It's also not sexually or psychologically fucked up in any way that other anime/Japanese shiz can excel at. The worst, usually, is a story that seems to praise and have a creepy, obsessive enjoyment of destroying people in various morbid ways, like the creator actually wants to do it or does it.

An example of something creepier was something I saw from an old set of Kagamine's, actually. ;] The guy with white goop. I didn't even know what was going on, there.

Yep.

Wooo!"I hear you speak, and suddenly I'm reminded of how the people I respected most in my life had a problem with authority."

That sounds familiar, but I'm blanking.
Is it actually Red Dead?

Game version of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream?

Dammit Heavy Rain!

I didn't put much into Ethan's side of the playthrough, and it's been a long while since I've seen Heavy Rain, so I'm blanking.

Is this in the vents or whatever?

Just because I can share

That should fix it.

EDIT: What? :[
**Finally. That was weird.

Two things, OP'er:
The QQCode Cheatsheet below gives a reference to follow: Right now, you need to specifically get the part of the code after the ?v= part in the video's url.

The other problem was that you were trying to show a video from a list of things. I clicked the title link, which got the video alone, but that still had a "&list" part (with some stuff after) that breaks Guild's code system. So, if you use a video in a list again, click the title link, then copy the url link between "[...]?v=" and "&list[...]"
