Comment on How I learned about life from IKEA by Sarah

Wait, wait. IKEA has breakfast? This is a new and foreign fact to me. I am so confuzzled! Regardless, my favourite location for cheap furnishings has always been the curb. :) The pickings are especially good around the end of semesters in college towns!

The Buffy S8 has gone a bit off the rails – the characters are nicely done, its proper Whedon but its all gone OTT with teleporting submarines and pitched gun battles with hordes of slayers – its beginning to read like its own most screamingly bonkers fanfics…

Haven’t read the Angel stuff, must give it a try.

Have you read any of the canon Buffy/Angel comics (Season 8 and 5, and the Spike spinoffs) – they are pretty good – reads like pure Whedon

The Carol of the Old Ones is by far my favourite:

How’s the weather down there? It’s been snow-tastic here.

I guess it would be more worrying if you weren’t beginning to have peers in the ‘family + kids’ domain. Either you’re working a job where you’ve stayed past your sell-by date, or it’s a job that makes people into such misanthropes that no family is possible.

A few people I know have decent ones.

@Teawithworf was quite active at one point

Also @madeupstats has become quite popular.

I love both ME1 and 2. The first game was like being an operative for the League. I definitely played the renegade all the way through, but it’s interesting to see how different our views of the renegade were.

I took my renegade to be that sort of ‘the time for talking is through’ Judge-Dredd man, but I also chose to be absolutely loyal to my crew in a hardass way. I found I could do that really well in ME2, by shouting at people for having fights, doing every mission that there was and making sure justice (and a hell of a lot of murder) went on.

The only really whimsical evil I engaged in was that I took the evil asari with me instead of Justiciar Rod-has-a-rod-up-her-rod.

All that said, I went with the non-evil choice at the very end. I felt blowing the thing up was wholly consistent with renegade, since it was F*ck you to everyone.

Overall, that’s my biggest issue with ME2: choosing renegade often ends up with a fairly inconsistent character. It means you hate cerberus, the alliance and everything in between, it also sort of means you don’t want to bang any npcs. I think they’re telling a much richer story than the one-dimensional wheel gives them credit for.
