Re: Writing Tips of the Day

Replacing magic with extreme levels of technology (including having dragons, lol) is exactly what I'm doing with Peoples of Almure , in spite of your being less than enthusiastic for the idea. Sure, there's a whole lot of Rule of Cool and creative license involved, but I've actually put a lot of tho...

Gotta love it; ever since the Rodney King incident, brave citizens have been capturing the ever-increasing acts of police brutality in this country. And now, faced with the fact that the people actually have some ability to oppose tyranny and expose them, the bastards we call a "government"...

Re: Random ideas (again)

An idea I have is what if there was a universe without sentient life forms? And humanity, sick and F-ing tired of being alone, decided to secretly create some of their own aliens and toss them out there? Of course, that could lead to an Adam and Eve/rebellion/biblical thing with the aliens, or not,...

Re: Official Movie Review Thread

Twilight might have been interesting if had been edited it to add lots more action and over the top shit. Maybe give Bella a katana or something so that she isn't a boring typical 16-year-old-girl. Thus why Underworld was superior; it had a cool plot, Kate Beckinsale, and lots of action. Teeny boppy...

Re: So next week I'll be hiking...

I haven't hiked as long as five days, so I can't really offer any advice other than the obvious hints of bringing a camel pack for water (they come in handy in this summer heat) and a first aid kit.

I've actually heard (although I hear a lot of things) that Al-Jazeera is a pretty reputable news agency. At any rate, I doubt it's the sort of frothing mouthpiece of religious extremists and terrorism that Faux would have us believe (project much, guys?).

Re: Dan's Random Ramblings

You could always take one ominous-looking region and just put "Here Be Dragons". It's not creative, but it's fucking awesome. It also tells the reader that you just don't go for a stroll in that sort of realm.
