Interesting in a good way, or interesting in a bad way?

Dr. Shades, a bad way, when the user on a slower connection has to wait for a 1.3mb sig to download every time they view a thread then they will likely leave or see a blank page or not be able to type until the page is fully loaded depending on how their system is setup.

I hope you'll contribute more than games

Roger, I do discuss the doctrine, quite deeply in fact, but I reserve that for my own communities (not listed here) because I want Discussion to flow and not be interrupted by sarcasm or net talk or needless arguments, so I will just share the games for now if you don't mind.

GM, totally respected. Maybe, if not here, in your "own communities" as that is the environment--nonsarcasm et al--that i too prefer, and seek out...

I thought Mormonism was already fantasy role playing.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

I can't be held responsible for what those martians on /b/ do, man. Be nice. Next time I could open an internet hell gate right to /gif/ and laugh at the results.

Oh, now I see why Shades isn't a Joss Whedon fan. Whedon single-handedly screwed over American grammar! From Wikipedia:

The dialogue in Joss Whedon's shows and movies usually involves pop culture references both notable and obscure, and the turning of nouns into adjectives by adding a "y" at the end of the word ("listy"). According to one of the Buffy writers, "It's just the way that Joss actually talks."

Whedon also heavily favors the suffix -age (Linkage, Lurkage, Poofage, Postage, Scrollage, Slayage). Also, phrasal verbs usually ending with "out" are changed into direct verbs, for example "freak" rather than "freak out", "bail" rather than "bail out", or "hang" rather than "hang out". Whedon also tends to change adjectives into nouns such as "happy" (positive thing), "bad" (mistake), "funny" (joke). So many of Whedon's altered usages, new words, and heavily popularized words have entered the common usage that PBS in their article series "Do You Speak American" included an entire section on "Slayer Slang".

So essentially this thread is an advertisement and you have nothing to contribute to the board besides self-promotion?

Good to know.
