TRSJabber

I haven't been able to parry correctly since Demon's Souls.

What do you mean? An African or a European swallow?

I felt it in Burbank, but by the time the waves reached us here, they had calmed considerably and we only felt a gentle rocking sensation, almost like being on a train. I hope you all in Orange County are unharmed. I grew up in Brea and was there for the Whittier-Narrows quake in 1987 and the Northridge quake in 1994. I was 10 when the Whittier Narrows quake hit. It was my first and I thought the world was ending.

Hi everyone! I'm going through this list and adding a bunch. I'd love to find some white whales. My uplay ID is TRSJabber.

Happy Hunting!

Is integrity an insufficient reason these days? Do the right thing even when nobody is around to pat you on the head for it. This kind of question scares me.

I also really enjoy Sunshine. This is a synopsis full of spoilers, however, not a review. If someone who has not yet seen the movie read this, they'd be upset. When writing a review, you want to avoid story spoilers and expand your opinion. The whole point of reading a review is to get the writer's opinion beyond "it was good" while not feeling like they are reading a book report.

You gloss over a few of your points. You say "the writing is decent but not great". What makes it merely decent, in your opinion? What do you think makes great writing and how is that not exhibited in Sunshine's script? Did the dialogue sound natural and move the story or did it sound like filler? Were the characters flat and uninteresting or unrealistic? I, and your other readers, would like to know why you were unimpressed with the script.

You say the soundtrack is good and I agree with you but I want to know why you like it. How does the music make you feel? Is it a purely atmospheric score or is the music used to punch up certain scenes? Does it remind you of some of your other favorite film scores or is it like nothing you've ever heard before? I agree with you that "Surface of the Sun" is a great piece of music, but why do you think so? For me, I love the way it starts softly with just a melancholy string section then slowly adds piano and other unconventional sound effects, building a sense of triumph while remaining sad. It is tragic, heart-breaking but also heart-warming. It reminds me of Hans Zimmer's "Journey to the Line" or Clint Mansell's "Welcome to Lunar Industries".

Conveying your opinion about something, especially a work of fiction, while not discussing plot points is really difficult. I write a book blog so I completely understand the struggle. Learning to convey your opinion, how the experience made you feel, what the experience made you think, without spoiling the story will make your reviews much better and you will have a better chance at retaining readers. Keep at it!

I'm an American from California and have traveled to most of the states in the country. I've also been to Mexico, Italy, England, and Ireland and the day after tomorrow, I'm on a plane to Netherlands, then Belgium, then France. I think traveling is important. It helps improve your world view, your opinion of people from other countries (we're all just people, man), and your global cultural education. I also love hearing people speak languages that are foreign to me.

I've been sad all week but hadn't wept yet. This did it. I needed the release, so thank you.

I briefly joined the Forest Hunters covenant when I was around Soul Level 50. The first time I was summoned to defend the forest, the person I was invading did not appear to have any armor on but was lugging around a massive sword that looked to be longer than he was tall. Before I realized what was happening, he sprinted at me and attacked, killing me in one hit. I revived at the bonfire, restored my human form and was summoned again almost immediately by the same guy. He killed me almost as quickly as the first time. I tried to block his strike with my shield but the hit was so powerful that it staggered me and he finished me off with a second hit. So, due to my awful skill at PvP, I am no longer a member of the Forest Hunters covenant. I'll stick with the co-op covenants. They are more my style.

If this isn't bullshit then you are a fuckin' cartoon character, bro.

Dude... I have a moment that literally is like that of a fucking cartoon. I might as well share it due to how hilarious it is.

One day, our projection screen TV died. This was kinda a big deal. For the sane fact that it was heavy and huge. we had to back my fathers truck up to the front door and put it onto the back of the truck. Due to having the topper on the truck. We couldn't put it in. So we decided to literally follow the truck right behind. While making sure the TV doesn't come out and get destroyed. (Someone could fix it and did get it later on, we just wanted to get a LCD tv is all.)

Now imagine 3 people behind a big truck, keeping a TV stable on a ledge of said truck, going down and around the street... during a solar eclipse might I add, as we were TRYING to keep up with the truck, yelling for dad to slow his ass down so we wouldn't get crushed by the TV. We literally looked like Cartoon Characters with how our feet were running behind the damn thing...

It was not fun. If someone took a video of us doing this. I honestly think we would have been youtube hits due to how goofy it was.

So yeah... my life is a lot like a cartoon!
