The Flood / Interesting Dreams Recently?
« on: December 13, 2014, 11:45:38 AM »
I can recall at least one my dreams every night with clarity, and the dream I recalled last night is below. Share what you wish.
Spoiler


Some strangers and I drove to some secluded, wooded location after dark and endeavored to climb a large hill. Along the way candles lit the path and set a mysterious tone to our escapade. Like my dreams do, it skipped forward in time to when we arrived at an abode like the Amityville horror house-turned-mansion. We began climbing a series of ladders (longer than the ladder sequence from Blighttown to the Valley of Drakes in DS) and we noticed the candles going out below.

 This is when one of my companions mentioned something about imminent doom if we didn't make it to the top and turn the music on. They never mentioned what the doom was, but the darkness encroached in a very literal sense as waves of candles snuffed out, approaching us. I was at the front of the group, and when I reached the top all the lights were out. I hurried to turn the boom box on and turn the volume to max for good measure. I can't remember what the music was, only that it contained pseudo-instructions on what to do next and afforded meager light.

 We set up shop inside the house and found that to keep the lights on and steady we needed to connect power cords from different parts of the house. My companions had specially assigned cords to take, and they had been there before and failed because one man in particular didn't want to go to the cellar again. I was instructed to stay at our makeshift headquarters and make sure the equipment was working.

I recall the days passing like a montage, me in a bunkbed in a white dress by the broken window watching the other bed at the far side of the room which would from time to time rustle as if two occupants were sleeping... or lovemaking. It made me very uneasy, especially when no one was there.

Within my dream I had a dream or vision of  something breaking through the window and murdering me. Moments later a hatchet man broke through the window wielding another hatchet, and severed my arm. I ran to the bottom level and left the house (with a lack of ladders). Outside there were murderous, dragon-like creatures.

My comrades showed up in time with vehicles (though I wouldn't know how they got them there) and we somehow became invisible. My alarm woke me up after this point.

The Flood / Any Writing You're Working on?
« on: December 11, 2014, 03:42:42 PM »
You can post it here.

Clustered darkness eclipsed me
Smothering and pushing and close but far and lonseome
it engulfed me,
Naked at my strategist's seams,
My only reprieve the tumultuous pounding of an exhausted ventricle
and my torn breath leaving me
Lost
to the myriad dark.
And there I felt my growing heat of worry
the pins agitated in an addled head
Shuffling my shaking feet forward
at the protest of my skeptic's mind

What's that thing you really want to get or order for Christmas?

I'd greatly appreciate a copy of Final Fantasy VI

The Flood / Online Persona
« on: December 11, 2014, 12:47:03 AM »
By persona I mean a character or expressed self characteristic embodied in a posting style. What do you hope to accomplish by operating this persona online?
Would you be as brave to identify who your persona is?

The Flood / Dream Job?
« on: December 10, 2014, 11:29:13 PM »
The way I'm defining job here is by the work you do or way you want to live, but it doesn't have to be for profit.

My dream job is to conduct my own research in Gerontology and write novels on the side.
This all being by self employment.

Serious / If Immortality was made Possible, Would You Support it?
« on: December 10, 2014, 12:05:08 PM »
Say an imortality drug was developed and you were in a position to advocate or prohibit its usage. Who would you limit usage to, if limiting anyone?

Edit: I'm only referring to immortality, not invincibility.

The Flood / What's the Best Way to Make Money?
« on: December 09, 2014, 08:33:27 PM »
I'm curious to see what you all think.
Answers don't have to adhere to any sort of ethics, in fact more interesting stories might arise if the method is unethical.
Personal input is appreciated too, however.

Edit: Something preferably nonconventional (i.e. not jobs)

Serious / Is it Possible?
« on: December 09, 2014, 12:32:26 AM »
Is it possible to pursue education of higher quality outside a system? If you have the financial resources? If you have the time available in youth? If you're headed into a scientific field of study? If you plan to be a writer? What of musicians?
 
What is more efficient for that matter, self-engineered education, or education conceived by others?

Serious / How do You Think of "Friendship?"
« on: December 09, 2014, 12:04:09 AM »
What does it mean to have someone be your friend?

For me there has to be a certain level of usefulness, which is usually tied to someone's capability for openness to other interpretations of reality and how much self-interest they're willing to sacrifice for me. If I can't hold serious discussion and consistently seek guidance or support from them they're mostly equated with acquaintances in mind. In physical interactions I'll usually refer to anyone I associate with consistently as "friends."

Gaming / Holiday Buying Options
« on: December 07, 2014, 11:57:47 PM »
With the holidays coming up and time off I'll be gaming more frequently in the coming weeks. In terms of what I'll be playing I've been looking for older games dating back to gameboy advance, NES, and PS2 titles. I have a large list of gameboy games in mind and am content with this, but I'm wondering what I should get console-wise.

The pricing for PS2s in my area is $50.00 and the games are around the same price (if not lower) than gameboy titles. Then there are DS titles and the compatibility with Advance games. Do I get the system that incorporates DS games and Advance games into one device, or do I get a console and a few PS2 titles with fewer gameboy titles?

I have an Advance already, but I don't really know if getting the DS is worth the investment (I don't know how many good DS games there are.


Also, what games did you folks enjoy from back then?

Feel free to discuss your own purchase queries

Taking on an antagonist role in your city or town?
You know, the strategic, morally questionable individual pulling strings and reaping the benefits from their environment?

Gaming / Online Purchase Resources
« on: December 04, 2014, 04:30:00 PM »
I'm considering getting back into gaming with a lot of older titles. The one's I'm considering seem to have fairly high prices, so I was wondering if anyone knew any sites particularly good at getting awesome old games for lower prices than what google brings up.

Thanks for your time.
