I could use a sober friend with academic ambitions, yes. Do you have a venue other than HL2 that I can chat with you on? No rush, do your routines or whatever--but it'd great to have a chat.
My post in the Lisbon thread was a bit thick. I don't know what it was but Eejit's constant bringing up of that particular point really annoyed something in me.
I need a misc thread right now. Every urge in my body is telling me to let the community know of a thought I am having at the moment, but I am bound by the laws of socially acceptable conduct and cannot make a whole thread dedicated to it.
I agree that it is a good element of story telling, though I am still enjoy Bioshock's fashion.
I don't have the energy to think of a contest topic. Maybe a story, but not a topic at the moment. Trying to oil up my rusty artistic gears in other areas.
Sulkdodds, I have a question for you.
I recall once you making a thread in the book section, I believe it was a writing competition.
Anyways, it was based on writing in a style that suggested a lot without actually saying a lot. I remember you mentioning that the Half-Life Saga uses a very similar story telling format, and I was wondering if you remember what it was called?
My older cousin is thinking about getting into Half-Life, he's a bright guy and I am going to try to explain to him that the games are not told in the traditional ways of storytelling so he knows what to expect.
