Veroe's idea box

I love that trailer. Of course it also makes me feel sad that that five minutes is more thrilling the prequels.

I'd love watching SW:TOR if it were a movie or reading it as a novel or even a single player RPG like KOTOR. However I'm not interested in it as an MMORPG. There's no way the game experience will be anything like that trailer as a MMORPG. I don't like MMORPGs. As an MMORPG there's no direction, no drive, no inertia to the overall story. That's because the people playing it are making it as they go along, but when its like that the story is not and can not be cohesive, it can not have a purpose, it can not be powerful, it can not speak to the soul. If it's a story of everyone, it's a story of nothing.

What if no one chooses to play a Sith...or worse what if everyone chooses to play a sith, but have no Republic soldiers, no jedi, to scheme and be evil against....what kind of story are the game makers trying to tell here. Not the cohesive and epic one depicted in the trailers that's for sure.

The problem is I don't understand MMORPGs. People get addicted to WoW and I can't understand what possessed them to buy the game in the first place.
 
Thanks Veroe, freaking taxes. Nothing sucks the soul, vitality, energy, the very urge to continue existing, quite like dealing with the government.
 
Am I one of the few people that hate what they did to Scott and Jean (Though I haven't paid any attention in the last few years)

I mean, granted the White Queen is hot, but still. I always did like Scoot and Jean together.

I feel the same as you. I always loved Scott and Jean together. I don't know... it feels wrong to have it otherwise.

I love Emma, but with Scott? Eh. Maybe since I was an avid reader of the X-Men in the 90s I'm stuck in nostalgia.

Same. I think I am living in the past.
 
Yeah, thanks for that Veroe you brought up all the emotional trauma again I got from re-watching "I will Remember You"

Sorry just getting myself in the mindset to write Jericho and Holt, Rider, but check out the one I added about the foursome in that particular via an edit.
 
I'm leaning towards having the slayer character based on Faith rather than Buffy, so whoever we get to play her can have her skirt the line between good or bad...then having her watcher character who will be an npc play her own version of jimminy crickett (her conscience) and he'd have the psuedo-paternal relationship buffy had with Giles and Faith had with the mayor with her.
Faith-I don't care
 
That makes some sense, because a lot of what made Buffy strong and interesting was the group around her, whereas Faith was much more of a stand alone character. All things at the discretion of whomever writes her of course.

Oh ofcourse.

nods, I'm not one to take away such a delicious choice for whomever we bring in.
 
That's up there for me, I was surprised that DBZ was able to create some actually emotional moments. My favorite though was Vegeta blowing himself up to save his family.

what's so surprising its why anime shows kick american cartoons asses.

Because in America most people think cartoons' most emotional moments are when Wile E. Coyote holds up the sign saying "Help me" before plummeting to the canyon floor from the cliff he just ran off of.

People here in America think comics and cartoons are just for kids and should be grown out of that phase somewhere around age 12, so they're extremely surprised and usually alarmed when they deal with more emotional or adult themes and storylines.

That's not the case in Japan...lucky bastards.:mad:
 
America is slowly coming around to the notion of using animation as a legitimate art form instead of something just meant to amuse kids. Mostly I was surprised that DBZ could do it because they're a bit more goofy.

Alot of anime shows go from goofy and make you laugh to a sudden reverse and be all emotional pulling at your heartstrings. As a writer its one of the things I look to learn from alot those anime shows that do that, DBZ, Bleach, Naruto....etc.
