Oh, that's fine. Like I said, I don't have anything in mind anyway.

I... should probably get to work on that, then.

I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well last night and have been feeling kind of miserable all day, but I'm sufficiently awake now to make some progress, I think. It's not like there's that much to do. I'll still probably have it ready by later tonight.

Nah, it's fine. I work faster that way, anyway. :p

Quest thread is lonely.

Still working on that RP. Hope to have it more or less ready (and maybe posted) by tonight.

-briefly keeps you company- I need to tell myself to go to bed earlier.

I'll have to think of something new to rant about. Nothing comes to mind at the moment. I'm sure that won't last, though. :p

I can't imagine I'm going to get those last two quest items handed to me, especially the samurai. I should really keep a better eye out in the merchant square.

My samurai! Fine, you can have one too :p.

I got my kitsune I've been looking for so I'm happy. :). I like the armour in the samurai set.

I like the armor, too, though I imagine you'd need more than one set to really make use of it.

Oh, random question, but does anyone know what set those chained angel wings belong to? I just realized today that I have no clue what those are.

You know I'm not sure I know either, though I think I did see them once in a set. Can't recall.

Just letting everyone know who was waiting on it, the OOC thread for my roleplay is up now.

Working on the main thread.

Atttaaaaack!! *add high pitched tasloi scream*

o_O you okay there?

Anyway, thought of something to rant about. Good rant this time.

There's a movie that came out in England last year called Black Death starring Sean Bean. This movie is fantastic. I was expecting another Hollywood-history disaster like Season of the Witch, but... apparently the British still remember how to tell a good story.

It wasn't at all what I was expecting. I went in to it from the previews expecting to watch Boromir/Eddard Stark chop through zombies and necromancers for an hour and a half. What I got, instead, was a dark, subversive, downplayed story about belief, deception, and conviction that genuinely surprised me at times (in a good way).

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes stuff in that vein, though I will note that the violence is fairly graphic at times. Despite that, though, it's easily the best film I've seen in a long time.

Yeah... it's a really rare experience for me to actually enjoy a film, which on one hand makes it that much better when one finally does impress me, but on the other hand, it's frustrating to be so disappointed with 99% of everything I watch.

I would probably end up not enjoying that movie just because I'm a fan of childish movies -bows head sorrowfully-

On the other hand maybe it would be good just because it's not like anything else I've watched. I can't really say :/

Eh... put it this way, it's pretty much made for someone like me. :p

I have to admit, I got fooled by the trailer into thinking it would be a mindless action flick, but it's... not at all. I was actually disturbed after watching it. In a good way. :p

I'm not even sure what genre it falls into. It's sort of a horror movie, I think, but not overtly scary so much as chilling. There's some action, but it feels more gruesome, than anything.

All in all, impressive (to me) for a medieval film.

Referring to the previous post, was just signalling the descent upon your RP thead, tis all ;).

I take is Sean Bean is in Game of Thrones as well? I never really thought much about him until Lord of the Rings, but he did so some voice acting I'm familiar with: Black Beauty (as the horse) and a movie about a lion pride for a couple. Can't remember what the lion one was called. Kinda interesting though because it was made up of filmed wild lions with the voices added later. Off topic.

Sounds like a good movie Suzerain. I find I get bored with the standard Hollywood stuff too, and am talking more interest in films from Europe and even local stuff in Canada here. The odd time I go to a movie store I look on the new releases wall for the movies I haven't seen advertised, and have found some alright movies that way. Death Watch was on I liked. It's European made, and involves a cursed trench in World War I. Not a lot of gore or blood beyond what would be expected in a war movie where people have injuries and gangrene and such. I liked it. Another one was Dog Soldiers which is also European, or European/Canadian, not sure. It's in the realm of slashers but I like it because the characters are soldiers and therefore not monster fodder. They know how to fight back and it makes things that much better. You are actually rooting for the characters instead of rolling your eyes at how stupid they are acting.

If you're into triller stuff, I'd suggest looking for Double Vision, a Chinese/American collab that features a serial killer with supernatural elements. The uneditted version available in Taiwan I hear is uber gorey and such but the American release isn't as much, though it it gorey as it features the aftermath of symbolic killings and such.

Did Sean Bean's character die before the end of those movies? He seems to have track record for that. :p And, yeah, he's Ned Stark in Game of Thrones.

Hey, I may have gotten a job o.o I'm going to an interview on Wednesday...it's only for 2 days a week but it sure beats having no income.

Why didn't I post this in my own quest thread..? Suzerain's quest thread is the place to be because everyone comes here... XD

Yeah, annoying isn't it?


No, Sean Bean didn't die in either movie. He went through some nastiness as the horse and was a sort of bad guy-esque lion but that was pretty much it. He did kill his lion brother since said brother offed his cubs but that was pretty much it as far as I can recall.

/is flattered by his popularity.

And, good luck, Serra!

I'm pretty confident, as I've never failed to get a job once I have an interview. Plus it's only 2 days a week so even if there's some standing involved I'm hoping it won't be the entire time so I can still do it :3 I'm a bit nervous/excited... but very happy to think about working again :3

So... how did it end up going, Serra?

It turned out really well, I think the only way the interview could have gone better was if she hired me on the spot :3 I'll know for sure by Monday at the latest.

wow you are close, congrats and continued sucess in your quest

Thanks. :)

I'm actually closer than that, as I bought the Samurai this morning but forgot to strike it out on the list.

Oh, wow, it's been a while since I looked at the first post. A Saint? Me? -blushes-

You might not be blushing to be compared to Typasius, depending on just what form the "Wrath of God" he's going bring down ends up taking. :p

Well, just getting mentioned on the front page makes me happy :p

/has a Frostbite.
/has a Phaunos Spirit.
/is happy. :D

Hehe, congrats Suzerain :3 I got a Solar Kingdom but hey, it cost less than buying it direct.

I like solar kingdom, and it's past date so no worries selling it if you want too. I like the coats. Haven't had occasion to use the face colour yet.

Has anka and hallow of innocence. Is happy too. :)

I must ask, where did you get those funky eyeballs Sheol? Those Silvary's eyes underneath?

I'm endeavouring to write today. Not going as well as it could, except that I've decided I shall call it "working" seeing as I don't have any real job yet and it beats wasting time.

Somebody save me from loud Mario sound effects and loud kids!

Well, there was a few minutes of quite when momma came in and checked up on said kids. They're at it again now. Sigh.
