... just about every character from Claymore, come to think of it.

Secret Legend (non-final title), sometimes more commonly known as that one cute fox game, is apparently going to be featured in the PC Gaming show. There's some early impressions of it here, but it's basically a call back to old school Zelda titles, starring a cute Fox in a cute world. It's pretty cute, though still extremely early in development.

A spoon? Come on, now. I'm supposing that you'd expect whoever took you up on this to go for the eyes, and work their way inward from there? How utterly cliche. I refuse. Instead, the neck. It would be interesting to see just how long it takes to break through an artery with a painfully blunt object like a spoon. It probably wouldn't be very quick. As for my object... a bag containing two hundred live goldfish.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAI5GSyXMjA I'm completely and utterly in love with this song and group.

Don't worry - this probably isn't going to be a recurring theme. Can't make any promises, though!

Eh, I can't really say that I think modern movies are any worse off than older movies in terms of average quality. While it is true that a lot of junk gets put out these days, I think the same has been true at basically every point. Perhaps its just the case, at least in small part, that our exposure to flops has been increased due to the powers of the internet? Looking over my Letterboxd log, it actually looks like the average number of movies released per year that I really, really enjoy has only gone up as time has gone by... though whether or not that says anything about me other than that I might have questionable taste in movies is another matter all together. Foreign films are basically the greatest thing on the damn planet.

Yay! Nah, I was just suddenly mildly curious about that.

Cy~ already has the movies I'm looking forward to covered fairly well, but I just wanted to pop in real quick and say that I agree so horribly much with this - Get Out was a bloody masterpiece.

On a scale of one to ten, ten being The Great Satan, and one being an angel, how irritating have I been since I first registered here?

And I'd get it as far away from you as possible.

Homemade pan pizza! My first attempt. It was great! Though not nearly as crispy as it should have been. I'll need to make some adjustments for next time.

Depends on how you define 'strangest' The earliest dream that ever stuck with me too place when I was four or five years old. It took place in my parent's living room, as it existed back then. It had an out of body perspective, facing the couch like this: ... except at a more direct, straight forward angle. My parents were sitting on the couch, with me sitting in between them. We were all long dead, nothing but skeletons. Despite that, we had a conversation. I remember that I talked, mournfully, about how long it had been since we'd gone out and done anything fun outside. I asked if we could possibly go out for a walk. My parents basically shook their heads without saying anything and with great effort motioned at themselves, and then at me. It was at that point, in the dream, that I realized that the reason we hadn't done anything, hadn't gone anywhere, and had just been sitting on a couch for untold amounts of time was because... well... we were all dead. Dead people can't get up and move around, now can they? I didn't want to accept this, so I started trying to come up with ideas to get around the fact that we were muscle-less skeletons. What if, I proposed, we went to the store and bought some crutches? That would make it easier to walk about, wouldn't it? My parents pointed out that the issue with this plan was getting out to the store in the first place. Of any dream that has stuck with me, it definitely had the most intensely mournful atmosphere. I woke up feeling depressed as hell, basically.

I kind of prefer 24 hour clocks, which I used extensively and exclusively while I was stuck working security as my first job - it was convenient, never having to worry about AM / PM nonsense, and was very easy to get used to. Once you get over the initial hurdle of getting used to it, I don't really see any reason that twelve hour clocks are all that superior.

Try to maintain my composure. Fail. Try to hold back tears as @Cy~ observes my reaction with equal parts horror and disbelief. I wish I were joking. I really wish I were. I'm not. After having my mini-failure meltdown, I typically toss it in irritation. My kitchen has no place for the flawed and imperfect! I am curious, how does that recipe work? God save me. As for myself... I really rather like cooking! I didn't expect I would early on, either - I only really got my start at it in the last couple years, after I moved in with Cy~. Prior to that, I was a slob when it came to food, I'm sad to say. The things I most frequently prepare are just simple ground beef dishes for weekday dinners - homemade sloppy joes and seasoned beef for various tex-mex purposes. Some of the more involved dinners that I do are crispy tortilla pizzas (though I've largely passed that torch off to Cy~), sausage jambalaya, meatball sandwiches, restaurant caliber shredded beef / chicken for tex-mex, spaghetti sauces, and things of that sort. I've made my own chicken noodle soup from near scratch (I confess to using frozen egg noodles), though I found it to be too much trouble to bother with, most of the time. I wouldn't mind doing it again though. For breakfasts I've done a great deal of pancakes - enough so that I'm now completely sick of them - as well as some waffles, French toast, and if I may say so myself, friggin' awesome Egg McMuffin clones. For deserts, I've done homemade apple fritters, strawberry shortcake, and things like that. I don't generally do anything fancy for lunch, but I am fond of shredded chicken salads and/or sandwiches with some avocado and salsa, or tuna (fresh from the can o3o) with quick pickled onions. Also peanut butter and jelly, 'cause fuck it - let's be honest, I'm a kid at heart. I'm always interested in trying new things, and am always driving Cy~ crazy when we go grocery shopping - I'm like a kid in a candy shop. I'll see some strange new ingredient and be all like "oooooo, ahhhhhhh" while staring at it, until she drags me away. Thankfully she's good at saving me from myself, otherwise our grocery budget would be five kinds of absurd. I'm a religious reader of http://seriouseats.com , which I think has been the single most educational website I've ever frequented. ...

I will! Eventually! I just don't know where to start.

I was so close. ;_;

Chain restaurants aren't generally my thing, but... Wendy's for cheap / quick meals on the go. Popeye's chicken is love. Burgerking for an occasional quick breakfast is decent. Hate their burgers, though. Dairy Queen's sundaes are a guilty pleasure of mine. Beyond that there are some small local and regional chains that I'm fond of, like Burger Ville and such. I mostly stick to independent restaurants though, since they tend to put super-sized chains to complete and utter shame.

When I manage to sleep, rather than just tossing, turning, and keeping @Cy~ awake (sorry about Tuesday night), it tends most often to be on my side, though my positioning changes a lot as I go. With that said, she could probably give me a better idea as to how my sleeping positions end up working out, since she almost always wakes up before me.

And yet... here I was thinking that it stood for Casually Yandere, which predates your visual novel mumbo jumbo. :V Not that I care, either way. You can be anything you want to be. Why did you just randomly start playing air guitar in the middle of the living room?

Does that make me a narcissistic creature?

Extreme confusion. Cy~ and I once, while bored, traced my family line back into the 1700s, and found it to be a very boring lineage filled with people that were probably assholes. The last few forums that Cy~ and I were on were so incredibly amazing and filled with joy and happiness that they very nearly drove the two of us to permanently abandon the internet as a social medium. When I finally broke down and started wandering around to see if I could find a place to join, I found that basically every community I stumbled on was not to my liking for one reason or another. AF was the only one I found that didn't irritate me. As for my thoughts on trolls and such... I just find them to be obnoxious idiot children (either in terms of age or mentality) that need to find something better to do with their time. I deal with them by cutting them out of my life and social circles very quickly and decisively, without looking back. I've wasted enough of my life dealing with people of that sort - I just don't have the patience for it anymore.

Welcome, Freya, to AF! I'm happy to see that you've decided to join us, and hope to see you around.
