I reject my best joke headings, JoJo!
Dang, that's a long page! I honestly laughed when I saw the label you have the newest archive. As for Batman, it would be a great scene if he just came into some club or something, insulted somebody, and dropped the mic. I saw a Key & Peele sketch in which this rapper was on the street bragging about how tough and awesome he was. A limo stopped, the president came out (You could tell it was supposed to be Obama by the voice, among, you know, other things), and declared, "I'm the leader of the free world," before dropping the mic and getting back in the limo. X-D Of course the rapper's buddies wouldn't let him live that one down!

With that gold clothing of course he's going to shine. Seriously, though, he's definitely attention-grabbing. I'll have to see if my library has any of the manga. Did... Did Devitalizer hire you as his lawyer? In either case, I retrieved my file with the entry about him. I was going to post just two parts, but I've decided to share the whole thing (which is subject to change). ENJOY!

Devitalizer Trivia
 * Secret identity- Howard Kürten
 * Birthplace- Ohio
 * Occupation- terrorist
 * List of powers, abilities, and weapons- power drain, heightened abilities and senses, endurance, speed, plague cloud, stealth, sting, intelligence, hiding, lick, combat skill, strength, near-invulnerability, breath holding, sense of direction, echolocation, poison touch
 * Status- villain [I'm sorry it's not more exotic than that]
 * First appearance- Contagium [Yep! Our boy gets a graphic novel!]
 * Personality- Howard Kürten has an arrogant, selfish, and cold-hearted personality, relishing in gaining power, boasting of and showing off his might to opponents, and reveling in his Devitalizer activities despite the harm he causes others. As he attacked more people and gained more power, his mind warped further, causing him to become more manic & wild and intensifying his bloodlust & desire for power.  After he was restrained and his predations halted, he went through a period of withdrawal and lethargy, implying that he had become physically and psychologically addicted to draining energy from others.  He desires revenge against Shophetim, especially Super Creature and Renegade, for overcoming him and halting his rampage.
 * Appearance- Howard Kürten is a male Caucasian human with spiky brown hair with two tufts. In Devitalizer form he has pale skin and a withered body, giving him an appearance resembling a mummified corpse.  He has a bald head, a snout filled with fangs, including elongated canine fangs, and sunken, hollow, dead-looking eyes with grey sclera and elongated white pupils.  He often has a terrifying expression exhibiting bloodlust.  On his chin he has a short, blunt, bronze, horn-like protrusion resembling a pharaoh’s beard.  One of his distinguishing features is the numerous tentacles on his body.  On his back he has three rows with five tentacles each, with the side rows of tentacles normally resting against his sides.  He also has three tentacles on each arm.  Each of these tentacles is tipped with a black stinger and also has a pad of stinging cells near the end.  He has light bronze wings which are attached to his arms and taper to four curving points.  His legs curve back slightly and his ankles are well-rounded.  Each of his hands has four clawed fingers and a clawed thumb while each foot has five clawed toes at the front and a short tentacle, resembling the ones on his back, above the back of the ankle.  He wears dingy greenish-gray pants with a maroon sash.
 * Entry- Howard Kürten was a self-centered scholar who desired power. During a trip to Europe he encountered the supervillain Master Skull, who saw potential in him.  Together the two came up with a way to transform Kürten into a horrifying creature that had aspects of both vampires and mummies, and that could drain energy from the living.  He dubbed himself “Devitalizer” and went on a rampage, leaving many weakened and infected with disease.  This led him into conflict with the Super League of Justice, which is what Master Skull wanted all along.  Devitalizer was a menacing foe, but in the end he was overcome by the leaguers and their allies.  Desiring to gain power regardless of any harm it causes to others, the warped supervillain wishes to overcome the heroes so he can engage in further rampages.
 * Description of powers, abilities, and weapons- Howard Kürten is intelligent and knows how to fight. Once he knows where a city or building is located, he can always travel there without getting lost.  In Devitalizer form he gains heightened abilities and senses as well as increased levels of endurance, speed, and strength.  He is nearly invulnerable and wounds he receives bleed slowly.  He is stealthy and good at hiding.  Like Shade and White Lady, he can drain someone’s energy via bite.  His numerous tentacles are tipped with hornet-like stingers and also have pads containing jellyfish-like stinging cells.  This allows him to inject poison into a victim via stinger or to infect them with a paralyzing toxin via his tentacle pads.  He can regrow these tentacles if they’re severed or torn, but it takes at least several hours.  He can hold his breath for lengthy periods of time, and he can also breathe a toxic cloud which consists of poisonous vapor laced with germs.  His lick can stun an opponent and expose them to poison and germs.  He has an unnerving screech which he can also use for echolocation.
 * Weaknesses- While Devitalizer’s physical abilities are impressive, he doesn’t have superhuman reflexes or superhuman levels of strength, speed, or agility. His tentacles only have stinging cells near the tips, so they can be grabbed elsewhere.  Though his tissues are tough, they can still be damaged through sufficient force or by certain substances.  He is weakened by steam (especially salty steam) and silver and is susceptible to mental attacks such as hypnosis, mind control, and thought clouding.  Substances or objects which kill germs, such as alcohol and germicidal lamps, lessen his ability to infect others and thus lessen his advantage over opponents.  Though he can be in full sunlight, overexposure to solar radiation, or exposure to any intense ultraviolet radiation, will also weaken him.  The more he preys upon victims, the more manic and unhinged he becomes.
 * Devitalizer is not a parody of any particular character, though he was inspired by one. I saw parts of a gross cartoon called The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.  There was a character named Irwin who turned out to be one-fourth vampire, one-fourth human, and half-mummy.  His powers were rarely seen, and he was really a comic relief character, but one day I reflected on the character and realized a character that was a combination of vampire and mummy could be a truly terrifying figure, a monster which drained life essence from the living and spread disease and pestilence.  That was the genesis of the character. [After I iron out the details I'll talk about the DIO influence]
 * While searching terms to find an appropriate name, I remembered the term “devitalize”, meaning to kill, to lower the vitality of, or to weaken, and realized it fit the character perfectly. I decided to use the rejected name “Contagium,” meaning something that contaminates, for the graphic novel in which he was introduced.  His alter ego, Howard Kürten, references vampires and mummies.  Howard Carter is the name of the archeologist who led the expedition to examine (or loot, depending on how one views such things) King Tut’s tomb.  Peter Kürten was the serial killer known as “the Düsseldorf Vampire” (a gruesome story, believe me).  I considered naming him “Nicolae Carter” after Nicolae Ceauşescu, the insane and cruel dictator who was president of Romania from 1974-1989.  This would have referenced both vampires (since Transylvania, a region associated with vampires, is now part of Romania) and cruelty.
 * The disease-mummy connection comes from “the Curse of King Tut”, which many experts now believe was bacterial in nature rather than supernatural. The belief is that the opening of the tomb unleashed ancient germs, possibly anthrax.  Sadly enough, that’s not the only incident linking mummies to disease.  I forget the where and when, but there was an unsettling and disgusting incident in which mummy wrappings were re-used for wrapping meat, which led to an outbreak of a disease (I think it was either typhoid or cholera).

I just checked it out and it was great! Raidra (talk) 04:15, December 1, 2016 (UTC)

There was an issue of JLA in which they were battling an electricity-controlling supervillain at one of the poles. They ended up using the strategy of throwing Plastic Man on him like a blanket. As he struggled to get Plastic Man off him, Batman declared, "Wait for it." One of his teammates asked, "What?" and Bats replied, "The punchline." It then cut to the villain, having finally emerged from Plastic Manket, facing Wonder Woman and her cocked fist. I happened to catch a funny segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert helping Obama with his resume for his next job. "Could you describe your philosophy in three words?" "You can't reduce something complex to just three words?" "Do you think we can skip that then?" "Yes we can."

I found JoJo on-line and read the first volume. Normally I prefer to read the books (for a number of reasons), but it's nice that they have resources for those who might not have access otherwise. I do wish they were in color, though, because occasionally I had trouble seeing what was happening or even who was talking. Here are some quick thoughts.
 * Dio had a great introduction. From the very beginning you know that this is a guy you need to pay attention to.
 * Wow, Dario Brando was an a-hole! Putting aside the question of whether Dio was born evil or was warped by what happened in his youth, his father was absolutely terrible. If there was ever a guy who deserved to be administered oriental poison...
 * JoJo's "friends" were a-holes too. I know part of it was Dio being cool and charismatic, but yeah, they're lowlifes. Some new guy comes along and throws shade on his guy you've known for a while, and you just say, "Good enough for me!" and then start mocking this poor guy and treating him like Frankenstein's Monster, and laugh at girl getting kissed against her will?  Dang, you all are messed up!
 * Things can get intense at times. "I'll stick my thumb in his eye!" Dang, Dio!
 * JoJo makes a great protagonist (You feel so bad for the poor guy and he means so well) and Dio makes a great antagonist (so devious and skilled).
 * Is it wrong that I found it kinda funny when Dio cried after JoJo beat him up to defend his girlfriend's honor? That supports his character, though. He was shocked & upset to think that JoJo could have the strength and skill to land some blows, and he was ready to use his knife to take vicious revenge.

Thanks! I'm glad you think so. :-D Mr. Feeny as the scythe? Oh, that's great! I missed that one, but I did see an episode in which the bully stole Grim's scythe as part of a ritual to get out of gym class. Grim nonchalantly looked and noted that he stopped caring some time ago. X-D

I saw that your new story is up. I might be able to check it out within the next couple days, but I did read that draft you sent me the link to. As usual, any grammar clean-up comes first. As for the review, I found this story to have an intriguing and frightening premise as well as subtle horror elements. At first I wondered if the victim had killed someone too, and there was a whole chain, but then you revealed the victim's reasoning & motives at the end, which I thought was a great revelation. I think you did a good job. Raidra (talk) 00:38, December 2, 2016 (UTC)

 * ~laughs~ That was a funny clip! I also love how they had the fake bars over the eyes, as if to say, "If we cover part of the faces, then they can't prove which celebrities we're referring to!"


 * I've read that the anime removed a few scenes here and there, which I don't think is right, unless it's for really disturbing content.  Cripes, just cover fewer chapters per episode!  Since I've seen the "It was I, Dio!" scene, haven't I really seen all I need to from the anime? ;-)  Okay, I'll watch some more, though it might not be right away since I've been watching Let's Play Pokemon Sun videos by JohneAwesome and TheJWittz.  "I won't stop until you cry! Oh, well, that was fast!"  I also thought it was funny how, before he went to investigate the poison, JoJo ended up throwing DIO through the stair rail, and DIO just shrugged it off to the butler.  Ice-T once noted, "People on COPS are the funniest, because the guy will come to the door still yellin' and bleedin' and be like, 'Ain't nothin' happenin' here! Go away!"  Here's another unfortunate yet entertaining exchange between brothers- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcMQzUtq18k Raidra (talk) 00:26, December 3, 2016 (UTC)

~laughs~ I don't watch Jimmy Kimmel Live! very much, but that sounds like his "Week in Unnecessary Censorship" segment, in which they "bleep and blur things whether it needs it or not." It sounds like Gintama is funnier, though.

Oh, that's irritating. Someone just the other day was talking about good anime ending abruptly too. Why on earth are they applying drug dealer sales techniques to manga? Anyway, I happened to see part of what I believe was episode seven of JoJo last night. There were a couple scenes that were disturbing (Actually, one was genuinely disturbing and the other was sorta interesting). I do love how it seems like everyone is named after a band. Something occurred to me to other day. I wonder if any of DIO’s school days followers, the ones who were so mean to JoJo, ever found out what kind of person Dio really was. Yeah, Whose Line is awesome! Don't worry; I won't give any spoilers. There are a lot of delightful surprises, and I don't want to spoil a thing. Speaking of games, I understand that someone's having a sale- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpqBh5Y2MyA. Raidra (talk) 23:27, December 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Civilian (reading newspaper)- Hey, didn’t you say you used to hang out with this bloke, Dio Brando?
 * Hoodlum- DIO, that’s a name from the past! Hey, what’s the old boy up to now?
 * Civilian- It says he’s dead. He died in a fire after killing his adopted father and some policemen. [Note: You and I know he survived, but I’m sure the news and authorities would have assumed he’d died] They don’t know all the details, but this JoJo bloke was somehow able to prevent him from killing more people.
 * Hoodlum- Blimey! That’s so hard to believe! Dio always seemed like such a cool guy!
 * Civilian- What about this JoJo? Did you know him?
 * Hoodlum- Yeah, we used to be friends, until DIO told us stuff about him.
 * Civilian- He told you stuff about him? You didn’t see him do things personally?
 * Hoodlum- Well, no, it’s just that Dio said…
 * Civilian- Wait, so you stopped being friends with the fellow just because this guy, who turned out to be a plotter and murderer, said stuff about him?
 * Hoodlum- Well, it wasn’t like he was just some gossip. There were fun times, like the time ol’ DIO kissed a girl against her will… and, um… then he…
 * (Hoodlum sees Civilian giving him the “What in blazes is wrong with you?!” look and questions every decision he’s ever made.)
 * It's hard to believe that anime could be so expensive because sadly enough there are so many bad ones out there. Then again, "blockbuster" movies cost a lot, and there are a lot of bad blockbusters too.  Sadly Naruto has the opposite problem.  Maybe someday the filler episodes will come to an end.  "You've done gone and spoiled yourself."  If you mean about Dio, then I don't think I did.  I have some idea as to what's going on, but I don't know all the characters involved or when that scene takes place (or why DIO is advertising a game website, for that matter ;-)).  By the way, without giving anything away, here's a tip- buy your Pokeballs in groups of ten.
 * Just when we thought we were safe, the horror returned to scar our psyches. No, I don't mean DIO- I mean ignorant comments about the Brexit. Last night I was watching videos with bad, weird, and funny auditions from America's Got Talent.  For the past several seasons, one of the judges has been Mel B. aka Scary Spice, one of the Spice Girls.  Someone with over-inflated opinion claimed that their act would be popular in Europe.  Mel B. replied that's she's European and she didn't like their act. X-D  I normally don't look at the comment sections on YouTube and other sites (because they're full of hateful and stupid people), but I looked and there was someone claiming, "She's not European anymore." Mmm-hmm. Someone actually thought that just because the UK wasn't in the European Union, they were no longer in Europe. ~rubs head~ Others had to explain that leaving the E.U. did not mean you were no longer physically in the continent of Europe. Raidra (talk) 00:07, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * You could be right. They've just started doing adaptations of some of the light novels, which is a much better idea than the filler episodes they've forced upon fans the last couple of years.  Someday I'm going to unload on how stupid those were. One problem is that sometimes the filler episodes contradict things from the manga, leaving the good people of the Narutopedia (the Naruto wiki) to wonder how to cover the events in the articles.  Here's a discussion I started last year (Holy cow, it's been that long!?) on what the anime did better and what the manga did better- http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:190315.  That Goku episode sounds like a fun one.
 * ~laughs~ You have to wonder what continent that person thought the U.K. belonged to after the Brexit. Then again, they might not know what a continent is.  There was a list of stupid tweets, and one of them was someone asking, "What's the capital of Africa?"  They must have been sick that day in first grade when the teacher taught about continents.  I laughed out loud when I saw that someone responded, "The capital of Africa is 'A'."  Isn't Australia Prime the one who turns into a lorry? Raidra (talk) 04:28, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Even if Pikachu evolved, Pikachu would still be the face of Pokemon because it's arguably one of the most recognizable Pokemon in the world.

Well if Ebay's emails are correct, the 2DS should arrive next tuesday so hopefully I should be able to test the game by then if my mom lets me.

So I double checked the product I bought and because it's a bundle, it has the system and a single game (Mario Kart 7). It comes with an AC Adapter as well, though I'm not sure if you can use any old mini USB charger as a backup.

I've also been doing a little work on my Haunting Hour pasta as well. If you want to see it, let me know. If not, you always have that Skullini story I sent you a while back.

RE: Hey
Hey, how's it going? ^ ^

Thank you for bringing the use of my story to my attention. I've never seen such a grand scale of plagiarism - it almost doesn't seem real. I really don't understand how people can even do it. It's sad people would rather steal other people's work than create something themselves. I've always loved the feeling of satisfaction from creating something, it just feels like it's own reward, but apparently not everyone feels that way. I'm willing to support any legitimate actions to prevent this from happening in the future and I thought the GoFundMe page you mentioned sounded like a decent idea, at least to help with the costs if JonathanNash is willing to go through with his option.

Aside from that nastiness, I've been locked away in my room (hermit status) since the release of Final Fantasy 15. Loving the game so far, but I noticed a great deal of changes from the first demo. It's gonna be awhile until I beat it because I'm going through out all the side-quests and bounties. I haven't even touched the main story for awhile, which right about now I'm 10 levels above the recommended level XD.

Any games you've been playing recently? I'm especially excited for the announcement of the new Marvel Vs. Capcom game. The second one is classic and I loved it, especially the third one. I eager to see the lineup of characters they'll have for this one.

Also, one more week until Star Wars!!! Not sure if you're a fan, but can't wait on my end.

Vngel W (talk) 19:08, December 8, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh I completely understand. When I said I would support, I should have emphasized within reason. I have my own limits lol.


 * I heard about the patch as well. Apparently, one of the chapters further down the road was too "linear" if I recall. Well, I guess I'll never know because I'm still doing side-quests lol. I thought I was bad but a friend of mine didn't continue the main story mission (level 10 recommendation, that is) until he was level 60 @_@.


 * I've been meaning to check out the TellTale Batman series. How is that so far? I kind of wanted to wait until they released all the episodes first. I loved the Big Bad Wolf storyline and the Walking Dead ones as well. This World Unknown I've haven't heard of but I do know of Murdered: Soul Suspect. I'm actually the same with fighting games. The only ones I've liked and played: Naruto games, DBZ as you mentioned and the Marvel vs. Capcom. Anything else is meh to me. Watch Dogs 2 looks amazing along with a few other games....I swear I'm going to convert to the dark side and get a PS4 with all the exclusives they are releasing (Xbox why u so useless??).


 * Nice! I'm slowly finding more people that want to see it, so I might have a group for this one. Wow, you're lucky on the free admission. Yeah I can't wait to see the Han solo movie as well and Episode 8. I really hope they dive-in and expand the universe like they did in the books and games. Don't even get me started on the comic book movies...


 * Vngel W (talk) 14:45, December 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * I didn't beat the Witcher 3 either lol. I'll go back to it one of these days. I'm gonna try my best with FFXV but I think it'll be continuous add-on game like Witcher as well so it might be a bit hard.


 * Wow I'm surprised they didn't decide to capitalize on that, especially since TellTall is known for their consequential choice storyline. That would've been awesome to have a brutal Batman (or at least allow you to decide). That is a bit of a let down but I'll still give it a try when I can.


 * Boring you...LOL. I wasn't sure about it myself. Sometimes, you just have to purge some games XD. I don't mind when they're Gold free games. Once Tomb Raider 2 receives that label I'll jump on that.


 * Yes, a Obi-Wan movie would be awesome....shoot, even a Boba Fett one would be cool ^ ^. I am very hype for Episode 8. Unfortunately, everywhere is packed for Rogue One. Might have to wait until next week :(. Some movies (like Star Wars) I like seeing the moment they premiere. Oh well...


 * Snoke as Vader? Although, anything is possible, the only thing I'm curious about your theory is his head. Kylo had his head which you can see his partial skull. Unless what you're suggesting is the Dark side force energy created a entirely new body, then maybe so. That would an interesting concept since they've only shown Jedi ascending to Force ghost. A Dark side take would open up the doors to much more lore which I am always open to. I always liked the Darth Plagueis theory. The strangest one I heard was it being Mace Windu, but I think that might've been a joke.


 * Vngel W (talk) 00:41, December 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * The option between Bruce Wayne and Batma sound intriguing. I'm curious if doing enough actions as Wayne will cause any suspicions down the line.


 * Yeah I absolutely loved the first TR (which I got from Gold free games btw :P). I loved how the second shows Lara with PTSD from the first one - a very nice touch. Surprisingly, I haven't heard anything from it. I feel like it didn't get enough buzz like the first one, but that hasn't deterred me from playing. It just feels like it either got eclipsed or looked over. I just hope it doesn't affect future TR games. I wouldn't mind if they pushed the limits like they did in the original PC games.


 * YESS!!! Nice that we're getting a Boba Fett movie! Can't wait now. That's relieving to hear that Rogue was good. I was getting a little nervous when I heard about all the re-shots they were doing. It's also reassuring to hear Vader was done good as well. It'll be cool to see him full-armored up in that role with the Empire again.


 * It looks like a skull, but I could be wrong on that. It's true Snoke could just be an entirely new character, but I was really hoping for the Plagueis theory. Personally, I think it would be a waste if it wasn't after introducing such a mysterious character.


 * With a Han movie, Boba Fett, and of course Episode 8 and 9, I'm really too hyped!! I wonder if they'll really explore the lore and go back to early days when the Sith were high in number before the Rule of Two was established. There's a lot to be explored.


 * Vngel W (talk) 19:29, December 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah I never understood why they did that. If you're gonna release your games across all platforms anyways, then just do it from the start. Having exclusive games is a whole different animal, but I wish they wouldn't do that either. You would think it would be more profitable to include all possible platforms, but I could be wrong.


 * I can kind of see that. They probably want to see how Episode 8 and 9 will fare first, but I'm like...it's Star Wars, people are gonna see it and you're gonna make money; so just do it. Ah Talon, I've heard of and seen her, but I don't know that much though. If you want to hold down your Star Wars appetite while we wait, you should check out a YouTube channel, BanditIncorporated. He's a guy that usually does reviews on movies, but what I really like are his videos on how some movies should be done before they are released - mainly comic book movies and such. There was a special project he did for how he believed the Prequels should have been done to connect better with the original movies. They're not too bad (at least to me). There are some ideas that really stand-out. He does a full version for each movie 1-3. If you want to check it out, here's a link to the playlist: click me.


 * Speaking of Darth Maul, did you ever see that fan-made movie released a few months back? It's probably one of the best I've seen. They shot over a year's time if I remember. Anyways, it definitely shows: click me.


 * OMG, yes!!! I was thinking the same thing - make a series to cover the Old Republic era. There is definitely too much to cover (or leave out) in a movie. That's probably the best route to go to expand upon the lore. I;m hoping to see it as well before I gray up. Fingers crossed X_X


 * Vngel W (talk) 00:46, December 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * A dark path indeed, but wave a big enough check around and somebody will bite soon. I can kind see that. It sucks because it is subtly working as time goes on. I'm noticing more and more exclusives and I'm close to caving and getting a PS4. I don't think I would've had this problem if Xbox had just released a game or two that held the same weight as those exclusives.


 * I plan on seeing Rogue One tomorrow! ^ ^ There should be more movies. Rogue One is another example of a success Star Wars movie with a completely different cast of characters. It's funny you mention thinking Anakin should've started as an adult because that's what that YouTube channel guy proposes in his version as well. I like the idea of Padme being a Jedi - that would be interesting especially with the whole no attachments rule. Plus is would've given Natalie Portman a bigger role than just sitting around and occasionally shooting a blaster. I think Vader full-suit hunting down Jedi would've been awesome to see in the movies. I always wanted to see him in his prime with the suit.


 * I had no knowledge of a series with episode material already written...what gives??? This really needs to become a thing. I'll sign the petition if I have to!!

Happy Belated Christmas to you! (That's if you celebrate it). I hope you had a wonderful holiday. I'm tired from it all but had a good time with my family.

I'm really interested in: Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Last of Us 2, and Prey off the top of my head (yes all PS4 games except Prey T_T).

Rogue One was seen and...boy did I enjoy it. I kind of want to see it again. How about that Darth Vader scene? 0_o I loved seeing the empire from the perspective of different characters. Just their reach and overall presence was something I really wanted to see in the movie and I think that was captured very well. The only thing I liked from Episode 1 was Darth Maul -_- For me, Episode 2 is the cringe one, especially the dialogue between Padme and Anakin. A solo movie for the infamous Vader would be crazy! Even more so, if we get scenes like the ones in Rogue One. A Stormtrooper one could work too. There is a lot of potential and I think it would bring more light on their inner structure. There was a bit there with Episode 7 but I wouldn't mind seeing more. Maybe we could find out why they're such terrible shots -- there's a backstory to everything lol.

Wow, a gritty Star Wars? I really hope we get something like that one day. It's hard to say if they would ever think about this route though considering kids are usually the prime target. It's sad but at the end of the day, they'll be thinking of that more than anything for --> $$$.

Ha! It couldn't be avoided lol. Yeah the initial download took awhile for me too. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think of it. I haven't beaten it yet, but my friend has.

'Cause this is Filler!
Ironically a Narutopedia member created a thread earlier today talking about how much of the Naruto anime is filler- http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:220222. As you can see, I gave them kudos because I can imagine how much time and effort that took.

A while back I discovered that there was a British comic book which had President Reagan refer to Optimus Prime as a lorry. I haven't seen them myself, so I can only go by what I've read. Roger Ebert's third book of bad movie reviews was entitled A Horrible Experience of Unbearable Length. The title was taken from his review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which shows his thoughts about the film. One criticism others had about that one was it inexplicably made two of the Autobots offensive black urban stereotypes for no reason whatsoever, and to top it off, made them illiterate. Some apologetic claimed, "They can read, they just can't read ancient writing!" However, I looked at the Quotes section of the movie on the IMDb, and here's what it says. So, yeah, there goes that person's argument. Raidra (talk) 00:17, December 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sam Witwicky: They gotta mean something, like a map or like map. Like a map to an Energon source! Can you read this?
 * Skids: Read?
 * Mudflap: No. We don't really do much reading. Not so much.
 * Anime America did a top ten list of the worst cliches in anime and number six is excessive filler/drawn out filler.  I loved 7:25-7:39! :-D
 * Geez, that doesn't even... that sounds like a MAD magazine article spoofing far-out movie sequels. How do these people still have jobs in Hollywood? I had honestly forgotten they had made a fifth movie, but I'm guessing a lot of people want to forget about it. Raidra (talk) 14:15, December 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll have to check my books, but I seem to remember there being some director or studio executive back in the day who declared, "We need some new cliches!"
 * Yeah, it's sad that there seem to be so few creative people making films and such nowadays. I think that's why foreign films are so popular- they're something different.  Your comments reminded me of something from college.  I took a theater class around the same time that musicals such as Mamma Mia! were becoming popular.  I asked the professor why she thought that was and she replied, "Instant fan base."  I hadn't thought about that.  I noted, "I thought it was just the writers being lazy, like, 'Thanks, ABBA! You saved us a ton of work!'" and she responded, "No, it's because there's a fan base."  It makes sense.
 * Episode 8 taught that A) vampires are apparently both hollow and filled with magma and B) you can injure a vampire by throwing a rose into his eye (and yes, I know it wasn't that simple). I just love how DIO's response to someone landing a blow on him is basically "Why'd you do that!?"  There were some unsettling parts (which I get, so I'm not complaining about it), but I laughed out loud when Dio was talking while his top half was split in two, and when he adjusted his face while restoring it to normal.  It's like, "Let's just straighten that chin out... there we go!" Raidra (talk) 00:15, December 12, 2016 (UTC)

I found out it was movie producer Samuel Goldwyn who said, "Let’s have some new clichés." He had a lot of funny quotes like that, basically making him the Yogi Berra of film. That was a great fight. In one corner, the guy who's fabulous and he knows it! In the other corner, the guy squirting vampire essence out of his neck like a boss! What's great too is there was some thought involved (such as using the sword in the flames to combat the freezing). Generally I prefer fights that aren't just displays of raw power. One of my favorite Naruto characters is Shikamaru, who may be a slacker, but is also a highly intelligent combatant. It's too bad there aren't more intellectual fights in popular media. "I can't wait until you get to a certain point in the show." Is it when Dio talks about the Steam sale? Raidra (talk) 00:25, December 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sometime we'll have to have a discussion of intellectual battles in manga and anime. I'll be looking forward to it.  If I miss it on Toonami Saturday then I'll look for it on-line or at least read the article on the JoJo wiki.  Yesterday I was looking over the manga section at a Barnes & Noble, and one of the series they highlighted was WataMote, which the shelf labeled "No Matter How You Look At It".
 * I apologize because I realized I'd forgotten about "Think Happy Thoughts". I'll have to give it a look sometime.  I did read your latest story, though, and I'll leave a review soon.  For the record, I think you're right about everything you said here- http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Creepypasta_Wiki:Requests_for_Adminship/TenebrousTorrent_2. Raidra (talk) 00:00, December 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's wouldn't be a matter of me choosing not to watch it; it would be a matter of whether or not there'll be an available TV, or if I'm too tired to watch. If I miss it on TV, though, I'll definitely try to watch it on-line.


 * It took me a moment to remember that. At first I saw "No Matter How You Look At It..." and thought it was about to make a profound statement.  I thought, "Yes, go on," and then I remembered that was the title.  Aren't you supposed to experience awkward moments when it comes to that series, though? ;-)


 * I knew what you meant, and I definitely have a sort of story. Where does this new movie fall in the order?  At first I thought it was going to be a sequel to The Force Awakens, but something else made it seem like it would be earlier, maybe even before A New Hope (which I'm inexplicably calling "A New Hope" when we all know it's just Star Wars. We all know it, so why are we pretending?). Raidra (talk) 20:50, December 16, 2016 (UTC)

This is chapter 14 so far:

(Chapter 14

As I was watching the episode, I noticed that the glow of the television was even brighter than before. I noticed that my eyes were starting to hurt again and decided to pause the episode and look at something else in the room. I walked over to the window and opened the blinds. As I stared outside, I noticed that the sky was dark blue on one side while the sky on the other side was orange.

"Woah! It's dark out already? How is that even possible?" I said out loud. At that moment, I wondered if Erika and Hunter had come home. However, when I tried to make my way to the door, I stopped dead in my tracks and went back to the daybed. A few moments later, I suddenly froze in place as I heard three heavy knocks that were at least a few seconds apart. My heart was beating quickly and my eyes darted around the room. They sounded like they were coming from across the hall but I didn't bother to look and see which room they were coming from. A few seconds later, something slammed against the door to my room and I screamed at the top of my lungs. I then cowered behind the queen sized bed and softly whimpered. Sweat was pouring down my forehead and my head was throbbing profusely.

It took me at least a few good minutes before I started to calm down and I slowly crawled back to the daybed. I gradually climbed back up and layed down on the bed. "That's it!" I thought, "From now on, I'm not getting up for anything and I'm certainly not pausing this damn episode any more!" Soon after, I picked up the remote and hit play.

The episode now focused on a shot of a wide rectangular building with a blue green square towards the front left side of it. The square and the rest of the building were marked with what looked like glitchy text and cars were parked all around the building. There were quite a few people walking around and the sound of cars passing by could be heard coming from the left speaker of the television. A few moments later, the episode cut to the inside of the building where Kristy and her mother were casually browsing.

The walls and floors were covered in white marble and the store had various bed displays scattered about. While the two were browsing, something had caught Kristy's eye. Lined up against a mirror covered wall was a slightly narrow, rectangular bed whose frame looked as though it was made of grey, steel pipes. Fluffy purple blankets enveloped the bed and white drawers could be seen sticking out from the sides.

Kristy stared at the bed for a few moments. She then yawned and slowly walked over to it. As she did so, her breathing became slower and eyes started to become heavy. When she got to the bed, she climbed in and quickly drifted off to sleep. A little while later, Kristy woke up and gasped when she noticed that the store was completely dark and deserted. "Mom? Mom!" Kristy cried out. She gradually sat up and lifted the blankets off of her. She rolled out of the bed and cautiously tiptoed all over the place, as she couldn't see the floor she was traversing.

A few moments later, a lightbulb went off in Kristy's head and she immediately rummaged through her pockets. Eventually, Kristy had managed to find her phone and didn't hesitate to pull it out. She then turned it on and opened the flashlight app. As soon as it finished opening, Kristy wasted no time and slid the switch up, which in turn, brightened the area around the beam of light the phone was emitting. Kristy then began to walk faster and as soon as she stepped onto the tiled flooring, her footsteps echoed throughout the store. "Well, if there's nobody here," Kristy thought, "I might as well find a way out and call my mom."

Kristy aimlessly wandered around the store, wondering where the exit was. As she was doing so, her body gradually tensed up and she began to walk slower to reduce the amount of noise her shoes created when they made contact with the floor. A few minutes later, a message popped up on Kristy's phone saying that the battery was at zero percent and began to shut itself down. "Oh come on!" Kristy growled, "How can the battery die when it's at eighty percent?!" She then sighed and forcefully shoved the phone into her pocket.)

Speaking of Pokepastas, I recently finished writing I Don't Like What I See. Here: (http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:564494#11)

I also created a new website for my stories: (https://haileysawyer.wordpress.com/). I'm still transferring some content over from my wiki like images and whatnot for the stories. I might add the I Don't Like What I See story to my website if it gets enough positive reception from the writer's workshop.

I've been making quite a few adjustments to the story ever since it first got reviewed on the Spinoff Appeal page. If I do resubmit it to the Spinoff Appeal page, I'm going to have to make sure that it's the best that it can possibly be. Though now that I think about it, the story doesn't have that much to do with Pokemon and the stuff that is Pokemon related (the description of the protagonist's appearence at the end is similar to a Charmander's appearance) is scarce at best. So if that's the case, should I still submit it to Spinoff Appeal?

I'll wait for you to read the other stories first. Don't worry! I won't rush you.

I'm not really if the story could benefit from diving into the Pokemon related content. I mean, on its own, I think it works fine. But I'll let the idea roll around in my head for a bit.

Did you read the current version of the story? If not, I can link you to the story that I have on my website or the WW Board.

Oh don't worry! I won't rush you. I have other stories to work on. Speaking of stories, I decided to change the title of that Haunting Hour pasta from R.L Stine's: The Haunting Hour Season 4 Episode 13 to A Trip to Cape Cod That I Won't Forget. I decided to change the title for two reasons. One, the title blacklist on this site has the word "Episode" in its database so if my pasta is good enough to make it onto this wiki, I don't want it to be automatically blocked by the filter and two, it sounds a little less generic compared to other stories in this genre.

For me, coming up with titles is a bit of a crapshoot. Sometimes the working title (The temporary title of a product or project used during its development) is good enough to be the final title and other times, a better title takes its place. Along with title creation, the most difficult part of writing a story is definietly figuring out how to start it.

I haven't been on the Creepypasta for long (about a year or a year and a half at this point) but I may have a theory as to why the word "episode" is part of the title blacklist. You see, I guess the word "episode" became so overused in titles, that the admins or other staff got fed up and decided to add "episode" into the blacklist database, hoping that people would be more creative when coming up with a title for their pastas. I'm not sure why puncuation in titles is blacklisted. Did puncuation in titles become overused as well? Or is it because it makes the story seem like click-bait?

So I finally got myself a Twitter account! Yay! I figured that I might as well have a Twitter along with my new website. In this day in age, I think it's a law that all authors must have some kind of social media profile. I've never used Twitter before so there may be some things that I'm not sure about.

The title "!@#!!#^@&" made me laugh harder that it should. I guess this is because I imagine some guy about to read a story on live TV. When they look at the title of the story, they are baffled by how stupid it sounds and swear out loud, which then gets censored. Maybe they were going to read (insert title of Crappypasta here).

Star Wash: A New Soap
I've decided I dislike cartoons in which they apparently can't allow the protagonist to be wrong at any point. That's just boring and annoying, and you can't relate to the characters at all. I prefer something like OnePunch-Man, which I've seen a little of. Saitama has immense power, but is still bothered by things like mosquitoes and boredom, making him a much better and more enjoyable character than those "perfect" characters.

Gotcha. Maybe they wanted to say, "Sometimes people with a good cause can go so far they become corrupted," which is actually a thought-provoking message. When you list the titles like that it makes sense. I'm just irked by people who act like it was never called Star Wars. There are even people who insist that it was always called Episode IV: A New Hope, saying that that was the title when it originally debuted in theaters. Um, no, it wasn't. By the way, what was the old hope? Is it in Rogue One? Maybe that's what they should have called it- Star Wars Episode 3.9: An Old Hope. Raidra (talk) 00:25, December 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, episode 9 was everything you said it was! I'll share my thoughts in detail tomorrow. Raidra (talk) 06:12, December 18, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, you'd have to ignore all the vintage movie posters, merchandise, and such, as well as the fact that the hit song is "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band", not "Star Wars: A New Hope Theme/Cantina Band". That makes sense, and I also like the idea of the new movie being rogue title-wise.

Okay, here are some thoughts! Unfortunately I accidentally saw a spoiler for the second arc. :-( Hey, at least I avoided the episode 9 spoilers so nothing was ruined. :-D  Let's take a look back at "Phantom Blood"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-8Zi1YhdRA. Raidra (talk) 00:10, December 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * You know the world is bizarre when someone’s response to their master’s fallen head is “Well, better bag it up and take it along!” Then again, that guy was a zombie, and zombies are pretty blasé about most things.
 * It makes sense that they’d shatter the Stone Mask, though I get the feeling that won’t be the last we hear of it.
 * You just knew DIO was going to be in the box. You just knew it.  The discovery of the coffin opening from the inside was a great horror touch.
 * It’s sweet to see these lovers so happy, though there’s also a feeling of queasiness in the pit of one’s stomach because you know something’s about to go terribly wrong.
 * Does a person only have so much hamon (however that’s spelled), or could he not produce more because of the eye beams injuring him?
 * That was another intellectual victory. It’s cool that JoJo had brains to go with his power.
 * I wondered how they were going to continue the Joestar legacy, but then I saw the baby and realized that was how. That’s actually a neat plot development.
 * The two had this tender moment, and then Dio interrupted and I thought, “Do you mind!?”
 * Sometimes when you deal with relatives, you feel that all you can do is collapse with head in hand, but in the end, you just have to hug it out.
 * It’s a cool irony that DIO’s casket provided a safe vessel for widow and child.
 * I wonder if any of those fans missed out on getting vintage posters & collectibles because they thought they were fake, and then found out from a collectibles book/Star Wars book that they were real and kicked themselves afterward.
 * Put some money in the coffin, that'll silence any concerns! "~pockets money~ Yes, this looks all right to me! Load 'er up!" There are worse things than turning to ash.  Naruto had a villain called Hidan who was essentially immortal as long as he fed regularly.  He killed Shikamaru's sensei and was after one of Shikamaru's friends besides, so Shikamaru had it in for him.  He managed to lure Hidan to a forest owned by the Nara Clan, then used traps to dismember him.  While Hidan's head spewed threats and curses, Shikamaru activated a pit trap and then activated explosives that caused a pitfall.  Hidan's final fate was to die slowly from a lack of nutrients while buried underground, in pieces, in a forest in which he would never be found because it was guarded by Shikamaru's clan.  Don't mess with Shikamaru!  That episode of the anime has a great title- "When You Curse Someone, You Dig Your Own Grave".
 * I saw that spoiler for the second arc and thought, "Well, that would have been a shocking twist if this hadn't ruined it!" Oh, well.  It is what it is. Raidra (talk) 00:05, December 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * I know there was a character who cut off part of his own leg for food. ~shudders~ It was about Straizo becoming a vampire (though I don't know how yet) and killing one of his friends. Jerk move, Straizo, jerk move.  From what I've seen so far of the page, it looks good. :-) Raidra (talk) 01:36, December 22, 2016 (UTC)

Reply to "The Tweets are Too Damn Short!" Message
Feel like Twitter doesn't have you enough characters to work with? Introducing Twitlonger! The service that allows you make tweets with unlimited characters! Woot! Get hyped! Though if I'm being honest, I think that should be the standard.

So I went back to my Haunting Hour pasta and reformatted the dialogue (I added one line per speaker and whatnot) after reading the criticisms Dupin had with the story I submitted to WW. Here's what he had to say about the story before I updated it:

("I said to myself frantically" - I don't think Pokemon can talk.

---

Remember to space out the dialogue. One line between speakers. There were also some dialogue punctuation errors. To read more on how to properly work with dialogue, read this.

Also, cut down on ellipses as much as you can, as it can get distracting, even in dialogue. Oftentimes a comma is enough.

it would be nice to separate the transitions. At times you shifted from the third person perspective to the first person of the Pokemon without any "warning". Those transitions are too sudden and can confuse the reader. Maybe add a "---" between said transitions.

There were some plot points with issues. For example, why the father be so involved in the procedure? Surely he would be kept out of the room, let alone be let free to tug at chords and stuff.

I liked your descriptive work and wording. As a story though it isn't much to my liking. It's not bad, but I think the material dragged this down. It would have been better as a completely original story.

Overall, great effort in this and you certainly have a lot of talent. You just need practise. Read and write creepypastas (and stories in general) and you'll be producing very good stories in no time.

Happy future writing)

So I took what he said applied it to the story. It took me a little while to fix it up but I think I did a good job and applied the advice to the best of my ability.

Here we go again
Here’s an update I hoped I wouldn’t have to make, but unfortunately, it happened again. Earlier today they removed half of Mom’s right big toe. She’s now down to eight and a half (which I think is the same number as Nightmare on Elm Street movies). I’m ticked off at doctors at this point. However, we’re thankful because things went well, and we’re confident that her recovery will go well too. Thanks again for your continued well-wishes. Raidra (talk) 01:04, December 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, we do too. Things are looking good so far.  She even called the house last night to make sure my aunt and I had made it back all right.  There is one good thing about the timing- our relatives are off from work and school.  Thanks, I'll tell her you said so. :-)
 * Oh, okay. Wait, there are bigger spoilers? Wow, this sounds like it's going to be quite a story arc!  I agree, it's very dramatic.  Have you ever read Alan Moore's Whatever Happened to the Man of Steel?  That one had a surprising twist as to who the big villain was, but it actually made sense.  As far as characters go, sometimes I'll read a summary of a movie, and then it mentions a character and I'll think, "Wait, who? Who are we talking about?"  The character was mentioned so briefly and so long ago that he or she had already slipped from my mind.  That makes me wonder how confusing the actual movie is since the summary is hard to keep up with. Raidra (talk) 14:54, December 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * A moment of loudness for Bizarro. "Hello, Superman, hello."
 * I'm glad you liked it! Sometime yesterday I actually wondered, "Wait, did I get the title right? Jeez, I'm going to look like a bad fan if I botched it..."  Then again, I failed to understand the significance of the wink at the end when I first got the trade paperback, so the batting average was already dropping. ~blushes~ TV Land used to have 48 hour marathons of shows each weekend, and one time it was The Adventures of Superman.  That marathon made me nickname Clark Kent "Tinky-Winky" because just about every episode ended with him making an ironic statement and then winking to the audience.

 * I keep meaning to ask this- how is your dad doing? Raidra (talk) 00:30, December 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * I saw some of Yu-Gi-Oh on Kids WB and it was pretty good. Then I saw a little of the next show (I assume that was GX) on Cartoon Network, and while I thought the premise was strange (An institute of higher learning, and other things, devoted to a card game? Really?), it wasn't bad.  Then I saw commercials for either 5D or ZeXal on Kids CW, and when I saw how ridiculous the hairstyles and whatnot were, I thought, "No."  That was a cool preview, and I hope the movie is great too.  That's good to hear! :-D You're certainly welcome. Raidra (talk) 02:41, December 31, 2016 (UTC)

Okay, that makes more sense. Here's something I still don't get, though (and it's part of why I thought the show was odd). I saw part of an episode in which there was a dueling monkey (or maybe a chimpanzee). It had escaped from some lab and was apparently part of some kind of experiment. I wondered, "So this world is so obsessed with the card game that they're working to train lab animals how to do it?" How much tax money was spent on that? That still makes a lot more sense than card duelists on motorcycles, though. That sounds like a sketch The Late Show with David Letterman would do to lampoon extreme sports. Anyway, it had to be a thrill for the GX guy to battle Yugi.

We had our belated Christmas get-over today. We went to my brother's house and we all had a great time. Happy New Year! :-D Raidra (talk) 00:04, January 1, 2017 (UTC)

Reply to "Tamato Berry" Message
So Dupin reviewed my I Don't Like What I See story again and while he said it was better, it still doesn't meet the quailty standards of the wiki. Here's what he means by that: "The story lacked in execution, so in the end it fell flat. The plot you went with is very interesting, but it is challenging to pull off. So by that I meant the story wasn't that good and would get deleted if posted on the main site."

I think I'm going to leave this story alone for a while until I can find a way to improve its execution. I'm a little upset that the story still doesn't meet the wiki's quality standards but I'm not going to turn into a Gyarados and rage about it. You know what I am going to do? Keep writing and keep improving. Though, I'm really nervous about my Haunting Hour pasta now because it's a Lost Episode pasta and I'm afraid it's going to come off as too formulaic, even if it's going for a more psychological approach.

With that said, should I continue to work on my Haunting Hour pasta or should I try writing a story that isn't in a highly cliched genre? I mean, I'd hate to scrap nearly two years of work but at the same time, I'm not sure if I'm doing a good job of pulling off the whole "Psychological Horror" pasta. I'm kind of upset at myself for a lack of execution in the I Don't Like What I See story if I'm being honest but to be fair, it was an idea that was difficult to pull off.

Re: Christmas
Wow Become Human: Detroit looks like a blend of Telltale games and Batman Arkham series....Why haven't I heard about this game??? Sucks it's another exclusive thought >_<

That "hallway Vader" scene has made it too YouTube now lol: click me and somebody combined it with Star Wars Episode 4's beginning chase scene. Ah I still remember when I first saw that double-bladed lightsaber...good times. Lol that it too funny and true about Palpatine. He probably got a boost in the dark side for the hatred between the too alone XD

Hmmm that's pretty interesting. I wonder why they never adapted better helmets. The Falcon scene makes more sense too. I need to re-watch all of them now. I can see what Lucas meant, but nowadays I feel it's much easier to produce a series with better quality, especially with Netflix or HBO where people are subscribed and paying for it.

There's no rush on FF XV believe me lol. There will be enough time invested in its open-world (hopefully for you).

Can't wait for 2017 and all the movies it'll bring. There's so much to look forward to!! It can't come any faster.

 * LOL XD I thought about that when I saw Vader had his own little Sauron castle. Mustafar would've been the last place I'd want be if I was him but at least with his tower he's guaranteed to have the "high ground" now lol. I'll stop now lol


 * I guess so, either that or Vader's castle was the full extent of Palpatine being a dick. "Everybody suffers under my rule, even my army!!" In regards to Netflix, I was unaware of that. I'd figured with all the successful Original series and the steady increase of their subscription prices, they were in the money....hmmm those price increases are starting to make more sense now >_<


 * The list continues with movies for 2017: John Wick 2 and Alien Covenant are added. I recently saw Guardians of the Galaxy and I was kind of mad I missed out on it for so long. It's pretty enjoyable in my opinion and I think you'll like it. I'm looking forward to the second one.

Baseball Z- Super!
Have you seen episode 70 of Dragon Ball Z Super? The baseball episode? If you haven't, here are some links. I hope you find this as funny as I did. I had read about this recently and I'm glad I checked it out. This episode made me like Yamcha. Not in that way, though; I'm not that kind of anime fan, if you know what I mean. I also loved this clip. Apparently I care more about Yamcha as a ballplayer than a Z-fighter. I don't know half the characters in the Super episode, and while I could look them up easily on the Dragon Ball wiki, I prefer to make up names, like Big Teddy Bear, Robot Guy, Effeminate Hoop Guy, Effeminate Hoop Lady, and Vegetable Protege. Raidra (talk) 00:25, January 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * I honestly didn't know there was a Super until I saw that people were talking about it on YouTube (Incidentally, Anime America chose Dragon Ball Z as the worst anime to live in because of the constant threat of being stepped on, blown up, vaporized, absorbed, turned into chocolate, etc.). I get what you mean about Goku's voice because I started watching the episode and wondered, "Why does Goku sound like a six-year old?"  I feel bad for Yamcha after doing some more reading on the Dragon Ball wiki.  It's pathetic what they've done to him over the years. He's a strong fighter and he used to have such drive, and then after a while he just didn't care anymore. :-(  I root for the underdog, so that's one reason I've gotten into Yamcha. Another is that he looks great in those baseball uniforms.
 * Well, it's almost happened. I'm on track to get the badge tomorrow night.  Here's hoping I don't get attacked by a saibaman before then! Raidra (talk) 03:59, January 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * I have to admit that this was pretty funny- http://i.imgur.com/Zi8DEue.jpg. You have a good point; it's just a shame that you could be stronger than the majority of the humans on the planet and have people go, "You're lame! Boo!"  I happened to see someone make a great comment on a video .  You see, during the Android Saga, Yamcha took Goku to safety (after recovering from nearly getting killed by Dr. Gero in one of the show's most painful scenes) and made sure he took his heart medicine.  Someone cracked, "Because carrying a grievously ill person to safety makes you a useless character. DBZ fan logic. It makes no sense."  I just want to see Yamcha as happy and passionate as he was when he was beating people up in that Titans game, that's all.  Thanks!  Hopefully I'll talk to you tonight. Raidra (talk) 15:07, January 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, I did it! :-D Thank you for being there for me. I couldn't have done it without friends like you and Hailey. Raidra (talk) 00:07, January 5, 2017 (UTC)

To quote Larry the Cable Guy, "I don't care who ya are, that's funny right there!" The other night I tried to a link to another good one I found, but it wouldn't let me for some reason. Let me try this one. I get that, and I'm glad to hear you say that. I got bugged earlier today because I saw someone say Yamcha was a coward. I thought (and at least one user on that website asked), "How is Yamcha a coward!?" The person who made that claim never explained or offered counter-arguments to the points others made, instead pulling the "You should know what I'm talking about, so I'm not going to say anything to back-up my claim!" non-argument. ~rolls eyes~ I wonder if this same person criticized him for being reckless when he got blown up by the saibaman. If he did get involved with fights nowadays, haters would criticize that too and say he was arrogant, stupid, blah blah blah  [Note: The second one is a little off-color]. In any case, yeah, he's a good guy. Maybe we all need a Yamcha sometimes.

Recently I thought, "What if someone had a series about a lesser superhero coping with being overshadowed by his stronger allies? This guy has superhuman abilities, but he's seeing a therapist in private because he's down and feeling inferior." I'm seriously thinking about doing a limited series like that someday. I already have a hypnotherapist character, so I just need to create the main character.

Thank you! :-D I was just telling Hailey that I feel blessed because part of it may be persistence, but another part is good fortune. For instance, if I had been hit by a bus on Day 364, that would have complicated things. Raidra (talk) 00:27, January 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it really is aggravating. There was once a Letterman segment in which part of the joke was a guy asking, "Hey, did you know they're putting human brains in mice?"
 * Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I've been thinking about it more and more, and I already know how the series would end.  I could give you an overview of what I have in mind so far if you'd like.
 * ~laughs~ Aw, thanks! :-) When I said I couldn't have done it without you, I didn't know the half of it, huh?  It is reassuring to know that the bus companies were with me.  I want to give you and the transit workers 250 goodwill points each to match what the badge is worth. Raidra (talk) 03:21, January 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, by the way, I think the English version of Dragon Ball Z Super premieres on Toonami tonight. Raidra (talk) 03:24, January 8, 2017 (UTC)

 * I don't like Taylor Swift at all, but I thought this video someone made was great- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jnhscsOLW4. I also happened to find this clip earlier and it made me laugh out loud- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEdQD-ahk8I. Raidra (talk) 00:39, January 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * Mom had an appointment today. He said the right foot is looking good, but he’d like to have another look at the left foot in a week.  Things have been going well.  I hope your family is doing well too. Raidra (talk) 00:26, January 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * That's fine. I won't be watching myself because anything other than Yamcha playing baseball is going to be a let-down. ;-)  Wow. That crab scene is one you look at and say, "This really is a Japanese cartoon, isn't it?" :-D  Remember a few years ago there were those two pilots who missed their stop because they were either distracted, drunk, or asleep?  I think I'd rather have the crab as my pilot than those two.
 * I'm glad to hear things are going well, and I do appreciate you letting me know you might be taking a break. "Hey, I have some drawings! ... Hello?..." Raidra (talk) 04:14, January 12, 2017 (UTC)

Oh, that's rough! I hope you get relief soon. I know that when you don't feel well, it's hard to do anything. Yesterday I went to bed with a stomachache, which I think was from eating too much of Mom's chili. Let me tell ya, that's some great stuff right there! Last week I went to a restaurant called Mike's Nashville Hot. They have five levels of spiciness. I told the lady I wanted my chicken tenders Nashville Hot (the highest level) and she asked, "Have you ever had Nashville Hot before?" I replied, "Not from here," (I had had Nashville hot chicken at KFC and O'Charley's before) and she told me, "Well, we have to warn you, the Nashville Hot is eye-wateringly hot." I noted that maybe I should get the Southern heat (the second hottest) instead, and she gave me one of each so I could see for myself which one I preferred. They stuck a little plastic sword in the hottest one so I'd know which one it was. They were really nice. The meal was good, but they weren't kidding about how hot it was! I ate the hottest one first, and within a couple bites my lips were burning. I'll definitely be going back, but I'll stick with the Southern Heat from now on. "I beat the game without killing anyone (in the game, not real life..." X-D I'm glad to hear there weren't any casualties! As for anime, I've started watching episodes of shows with English captions on YouTube because sometimes the American episodes make bad changes, numerous changes, and/or just plain stupid/inexplicable changes.

I can see why. Thanks for sharing! Reading the summary, I feel bad for the son. I'm glad this guy turned his life around. I might look for that at the library sometime. Raidra (talk) 23:54, January 16, 2017 (UTC)

Reply to "Mold Breaking Pasta" Message
Well, I've combed through the first two or three chapters of the pasta and made a few changes here and there that I think might be beneficial to it. I'll go through more chapters to see if any more changes need to be made. The fifteenth chapter is the latest entry in rthe pasta and this is what I have so far:

(Chapter 15

A few seconds later, Kristy quickly sat up in the bed and let out a brief scream. Everyone in the vicinity turned their heads towards Kristy and stared directly at her. Just then, a lady wearing a cyan polo shirt and slacks came rushing to Kristy's side.

"Anata wa daijōbudesuka?" the woman asked frantically.

"Huh?" Kristy said as she tilted her head slightly.

"Anata wa daijōbudesuka?" the woman repeated in a louder tone of voice.

"What are you saying?" Kristy asked.

"Anata...wa...daijō...budesuka?" the woman said, moving closer to Kristy's face.

"Ma'am! I can't understand you!" Kristy yelled in a shaky voice. The woman then proceeded to wrap her arms around Kristy and gradually squeezed her tighter and tighter. She sat there frozen, barely able to do anything but shake and pant heavily. Her eyes darted from side to side and sweat began to pour down her face.

"Get off of me! Mom!" Kristy hollered, trying to break free of the woman's tight grasp.)

In chapter 15, I'm trying to decide what should happen next. I came up with two scenarios. One, the manager of the store comes over to see what the problem is and discovers the employee is doing, pulls her away, and asks why she was doing that to a customer. Two, the mother hears Kristy and runs though the crowd. She sees what the employee is doing and tackles her to the ground and tells her to stay away from her daughter. The first scenario might seem less over the top but I'm still not sure which one to go with.

I have some other stories I'm working on at the moment so if this story doesn't make the cut despite my best efforts, I can always post another one that will make the cut.

Reply to "Horrible Hauntings with Hailey" Message
After examining the options, I decided to go with the first option. this is what I have so far for said option:

(A few moments later, a man wearing the same type of uniform as the woman, save for the loaded keyring clipped to his belt, pushed through the crowd to see what was going on. When he got to where Kristy and the woman were, his mouth hung open and he hut his hands on the top part of his head just above the ears. Seconds later, he called out to the woman.

"Sekaide wa nani ga okotte iru nodesu ka?" the man shouted.

"Watashi wa kono shōjo ga sakende iru to kiite, kanojo ga daijōbudearu koto o kakunin shitakatta. Watashi wa kanojo kara massugu kotae o eru koto ga dekinaito watashi wa watashi ga watashi no eigo no kenkyū o mōsukoshi shinken ni ukenakereba naranai to shitte iru..." Before the woman could finish what she was saying, she ran out of breath and the man went over and patted her on the back.

"Mite," the man said in a slightly annoyed tone, "Watashi wa anata ga tasukeyou to shite iru koto o shitte imasuga, anata ga nani o itte iru ka ni mondai ga attara, tada watashi ni kite kudasai. Watashi wa ki ni shinaidarou." The man cleared his throat and turned his head towards Kristy.

"I'm sorry about all this. She doesn't speak English." the man said. He then pulled two small rectangular pieces of paper out of his pocket. "Listen, if you don't make a big deal out of this, I will personally give you twenty thousand yen. Deal?" the man asked in a shaky voice. Kristy stood still for at least a few moments, thinking about what the man just said.

"Could we make it thirty thousand?" Kristy asked.

"Alright." The man sighed as he pulled out another rectangular piece of paper from his pocket. He handed the papers to Kristy and turned his attention back to the woman.

"Anata ni tsuite wa, shifuto ga owaru to nagai hanashi ga arimasu. Rikai shite imasu ka?" the man said in a stern voice.

"Hai." the woman replied.)

The only thing I need to figure out now is what will happen to Kristy next. I think I want to have her find her mother since she was away for the entire ordeal.

Chicken- The Cadillac of Fowl
Today was a busy (but good) day; I'll have to talk about it later.

Spiciness equals health, yay! I sure hope that's true and not one of those things that gets debunked two years later.

Eh, I probably made it sound more exotic than it is. Not a whole lot, mainly some Naruto and some Pokemon (There's a guy who does marathons of the original Japanese versions of the most recent Pokemon episodes, though I'm pretty much avoiding the new season). I also look up whatever else I'm interested in or curious about, like Yamcha playing baseball. I'm starting to get into Hunter x Hunter (I watch that and JoJo when I'm able), so I'll have to see what I can find for that. It sounds like SYD turns convention on its head. Reading your description made me think of Anime America's video for Top 10 Scenes in Anime That Made Robyn Laugh. Raidra (talk) 00:46, January 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Here's the story. On Tuesday mornings my church has prayer meeting.  Yesterday happened to be the 23rd birthday of the youngest member of of the group.  He's a nice young man and he was looking forward to it (On a sad note, it was also his first birthday since his father passed away), so we decided to throw him a party.  My aunt made a cake and bought some punch & ice cream, which we stealthily brought into the church.  After prayer meeting someone set up the table and we spread everything out on it.  He also got some money and a new shirt.  We all had a great time. :-D That afternoon Mom had an appointment, but things look good.  She has another one next week, which we hope will be the last for a while.


 * The first episode I saw of Hunter X Hunter impressed me. I'll describe the scenes in question when we have that conversation on intellectual moments/battles in anime (Let me know when).  I also checked out the first volume from the library, and there was a scene that almost made me cry.  Two characters, Leorio and Kurapika, were talking during one of the challenges.  Leorio had been talking about money and how being a Hunter was going to make him rich, so you might think, "Well, thus guy's a greedy jerk..."  Since he was trying so hard during the challenge, however, Kurapika asked him what his real story was, saying he wouldn't be trying so hard if all he were after was money.  Kurapika explained that he wanted to become a Hunter so he could track down the criminals that slaughtered his clan.  Leorio claimed his goals weren't as noble, that he really did just want money.  While Kurapika argued with him, he insisted that everything could be bought, even people's lives and dreams.  Then he admitted, "My friend would still be alive if he'd had the price of his life."  His friend died because his family couldn't afford treatment, so he wanted to become a doctor so he could help people with that disease regardless of whether the families could afford the operation.  However, the medical school fees were steep, and that's why he was so determined to make money.  It's great storytelling when it's explained why characters are the way they are.


 * I think animosity against the Pokemon anime is at an all-time high because there have been so many disappointments and so many annoying characters (and the new design and premise isn't helping things). I came across an episode of Hellsing Ultimate one night, and I'm pretty sure someone popped a heart like a water balloon.  Still a whole lot better than Twilight though.  I apologize for the delay.  I'll have to give it a look soon. Raidra (talk) 21:56, January 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hang on, I want to archive my page before going any further. Raidra (talk) 15:10, January 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm back! Oh, yes, Dr. Vroom, we have some special birthday treats for you! ;-) I'm sorry to hear about the blisters, but I'm glad he's doing well.
 * Yay! I'll type up those Hunter X Hunter moments I was talking about and post them.  So I wasn't the only one to tear up, eh?  Sentimental anime fans, unite!  After the intellectual moments we could have a sad moments discussion, or would that be too depressing?
 * Oh, the GS ball fiasco irritates a lot of people. If they finally resolved that in canon instead of just hoping fans forgot about it (which they haven't), they'd make a lot of people happy.  It just seems they've stopped caring about what the fans think.  From what I hear, the writers apparently stopped coming up with clever things and started doing preposterous things (I just love the guy's commentary on the Nimbasa Gym fail).  The Hellsing Ultimate segment I saw also had a moving speech in the background, so it wasn't just pure gore.  Oh, well, I'm sure you could write better fan-fiction.  Thanks for understanding!  I just have a backlog, that's all.  I'm not complaining, though, because that means I've found a lot of cool stories. Raidra (talk) 15:34, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

As noted above, here are those moments. Since the Hunter Exam is so elite, there are tests one has to pass before getting to the Exam site. Our three heroes, Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika, came to a trial with an old woman who would ask them one question, which they had to answer within five seconds. Another wanna-be Hunter came along and asked if he could go first (thinking he’d pass and that he could set traps for later contestants). The trio let him go ahead so they could see what kind of questions she’d ask. The old woman asked, “If you had to choose between saving your mother and saving your true love, which would you save?” The wanna-be said what he thought the old woman wanted to hear and she told him to go ahead. Leorio was appalled, declaring, “There is no right answer to a question like that!” The old woman then asked them, “If you had to choose between saving your first-born son and your first-born daughter, which would you save?”  Gon thought, Kurapika remained silent, and the increasingly outraged Leorio grabbed a branch so he could try to force his way though. However, Kurapika stopped him, saying that the question had already been answered correctly. Leorio said they hadn’t given an answer and Kurapika replied that they gave the right answer by saying nothing. He had been right earlier- there was no right answer. By remaining silent instead of saying whatever they thought the woman wanted to hear, they’d passed. Leorio protested, “She said that other guy was right,” and the old woman replied, “I said that he could go, not that he was right.” Kurapika then admitted that he’d heard the challenger get attacked by an animal. The old woman then told them the right path to take, and Gon admitted, “Well, I can’t come up with an answer!” Leorio and Kurapika laughed about that because they had already passed the trial, but Gon explained, “I was just thinking, what if I really did have to make a choice like that someday?”  The old woman admired his thinking, noting that what may be hypothetical one day may become sad reality the next.

After that they arrived at a cabin for the next trial, a trial dealing with magical, shape-shifting beasts. When they arrived, however, they found that a creature had wounded the man in the cabin and taken his wife hostage. Leorio was put in charge of treating the husband’s wounds while Gon and Kurapika went on a rescue operation. Gon wounded the creature with his fishing rod (apparently a trademark weapon of his), forcing him to release the wife. Kurapika tended to the wife while Gon continued the pursuit. Leorio came to Kurapika and Kurapika threw a weapon at him, revealing it was a creature disguised as Leorio. The creature asked how he knew he or she wasn’t Leorio and he replied that he didn’t. He thought Leorio had left his post and had intended to punish him, so hitting the creature was just good luck. The creature fled and Kurapika asked the wife who she really was and what was going on. Shortly afterward, in the woods, a creature moved in to strike Gon, but Gon asked, “What happened to the one I hit?” The creature asked what he meant and he replied, “You’re not the one I hit. Your voice has a different pitch, and you look different.” The creature was so impressed and amused that he or she called the others to come out. The “husband and wife” were really magical beasts themselves, the son and daughter of the other two. Kurapika had realized something was up because the “wife” had ritual tattoos used by a certain tribe to indicate a woman had taken a religious vow (basically the equivalent of a nun’s habit), and thus she was lying about being married. Leorio hadn’t caught on to the deception, but he'd attended to the “husband” more skillfully and compassionately than someone he’d ever seen. All three had passed the trial in their own ways. Raidra (talk) 17:47, January 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * You notice how many of those were from the English dub of the first movie? It's like the people in charge thought, "Eh, this is just for dumb kids! We don't need to inspect the project before releasing it because no one will spot any mistakes or care!" ~sighs and holds head~  By the way, what's the difference between Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate?  Is it like Naruto & Naruto: Shippūden, in which it's Part I and Part II, or is it like Full Metal Alchemist & Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, in which it's somehow related to the overall series? (As you can see, the concept of FMA: Brotherhood has not been adequately explained to me) The moment I saw had someone (I don't know who) noting that people feared vampires and envied their power, but most of the vampires themselves wanted to die so they'd finally be at peace. These vampires that were so powerful were basically frightened children.  I thought that was really deep.  I learned about the cat-boy from this article on the Superpower wiki.  As you can see by the comments, I thought the power was really cool.  Think nothing of it; you're the one who's been so patient and understanding. Raidra (talk) 23:56, January 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * I love how the writer has intellectual heroes who employ strategy and not just some guys throwing rocks at everything. Cripes, could you imagine what DIO would do to some guy who tried throwing a rock?  Bye, Felicia!  Yeah, Ash's battles used to have moments of brilliance, and now, from what I've seen, they're just parades of incompetence, deus ex machinas, and gimmicks.


 * Well played, Angelo, well played! Use people's assumptions to do your work for you!  I know I already mentioned Shikamaru's defeat of Hidan in Naruto, but there was another moment before that.  Hidan's main powers are essentially being immortal and the ability to form a voodoo-doll like link with anyone whose blood he consumes.  His partner, Kakuzu, could steal up to five hearts, which gave him added power.  During their battle, Hidan took blood from Shikamaru and thought he had killed him, but then Shikamaru attacked.  Shikamaru had had one of his teammates secretly get a sample of Kakuzu's blood, which he spilled on purpose so Hidan would think he was bleeding.  Hidan had actually destroyed one of Kakuzu's hearts, weakening him for his battle with Shikamaru's teammates.


 * There was also a moment in the second Naruto movie. Shikamaru faced off against this woman who could turn into a bat-like monster.  During the fight he saw that his ally, Kankuro, had made his way there.  Shikamaru connected some exploding tags to wires and set a trap to hamper the bat-woman's movements.  She assumed that he wanted her to fly down so she'd be in range of his attacks, so she decided to outsmart him by flying up instead.  However, that was just what he wanted; the overconfident bat-woman flew right into Kankuro's trap.  Afterward Kankuro wondered about removing all the exploding tags and Shikamaru replied, "These are mostly just harmless scraps of paper."  I'll have to see what else I can think of.


 * Oh, okay. It is Schrodinger; I just didn't feel like trying to get the name right. Raidra (talk) 14:29, January 20, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Mistakes
My holidays were alright. I went to hang out with family and had some time to catch up with them. I also got to visit with a old friend from the Peace Corps who was coincidentally visiting home in the same area which was nice.

As for your predicament, you can try changing the name of the incoming story some. For example, if you look at the narrations for Children's Games, you can see that two of them would have been similar if I didn't put the narrator's name in a parenthetical. You can do that by going through the steps for uploading but at the section after you paste the url, you can tinker around with the title, size, placement, etc.

Additionally I could try renaming the page, but I think the former suggestion will work. Unfortunately I'm a bit busy these next couple of days so you may have to message another admin to request them to rename it unless you respond in the next hour or so (or are willing to wait until tonight). EmpyrealInvective (talk) 13:09, January 19, 2017 (UTC)


 * After clicking the video link and pasting the url, you get taken to page with basic info, like name, description, etc. It's there where you can alter the name to something different. Here's a picture of the page. As for it being an admin only privilege, I don't think it is as I did it a number of times after I had stepped down. Screen_Shot_2017-01-20_at_8.13.14_AM.png


 * All you have to do from that point is change the title (like adding the narrator's name) and it should register as a different video from the other one with the same title. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 13:16, January 20, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hmm, my format is different from yours as mine allows me to alter the name before actually posting the video, why not just message me what you want the video re-titled to (as it's already on the wiki and I can rename it. I don't think this is an issue that will come up too often for you (hopefully) so I wouldn't focus too much on it. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 06:22, January 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * Done. EmpyrealInvective (talk) 06:57, January 21, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you!
Take your time with the feedback. I'll be looking forward to it as I always enjoy your reviews. Everything is going great on my end, even got my name on a movie poster. An Italian film company is doing a Jeff the Killer movie based off elements of my version, and they gave me credits. Very cool feeling.

By the way, have you spoken to GreyOwl lately? I noticed that she hasn't been active on here in quite some time. Anyway, thanks for checking in, looking forward to chatting more soon.

Best,

Hope she comes back too
I'll have to check out the thread you linked. Real shame that she let some criticism drive her off. She was one of my favorite writers around here, and she always gave me amazing feedback. I was really looking forward to her thoughts on my final Tobit chapter, as she'd been a constant supporter of the work since the start. I might still have her email address somewhere, so maybe I'll reach out and see if she'd consider coming back.

Anyway, thanks for looking into it. And of course, make sure to check out my new story lol!

K. Banning Kellum (talk) 08:35, January 20, 2017 (UTC)

Sounds good
Yeah, I went ahead and sent her an email essentially saying just that. Anyway, have a great night and I'll chat with you soon!

Reply to "A Ton!" Message
I just uploaded a new review yesterday as a matter of fact. There are about twenty six episode in season three and I've reviewed about fourteen season three episodes so far. In other words, I'm a little more than halfway done reviewing season three.

Along with my Haunting Hour pasta, I'm also working on an outline for a story called Sunny Hill Farms. The story is partially inspired by a convenience store of the same name and a case in Ohio involving farms and Criagslist. I'm currently brainstorming ideas for scary things that can happen on a farm. So far I've come up with two things. One, getting attacked by an animal like a coyote and two, having an accident with the equipment. I also have a personal one. I'm afraid of chickens (except the silky ones for some reason). I have no problem with baby chickens (they're adorable) but the adult ones, forget it. They follow you around and will try to peck you at the ankles or lower legs. I also have a fear of geese and swans. As you can tell, I'm not a big fan of birds (except for Rowlet and Oricorio of course).

"A Creepypasta Set During The Great Depression" Holy shit! That sounds cool! That was a very depressing time in American history. Have you ever heard of this song called Gloomy Sunday? If not, ScareTheater made a whole video about it. In short, it was a song that supposedly caused a lot of people to commit suicide, inculding Americans in the 1930's. I bring it up because I'm not sure if that's what the pasta will be based on.

Death Corn
Welcome back! Here's another piece of Death Note corniness- I died at the end of that video. From what I know about the series, I found it hilarious to hear Squidward's voice from out of L's smiling face. X-D I found out there's a number of videos combining those two shows, like this one.

I've done some development on that character I mentioned, the superhero undergoing hypnotherapy. His name will be Ki (after the energy in DBZ) and his assistant will be a cat man who can change forms depending on the situation. I haven't written proper entries yet, but I have drawn the two, so I just need to scan them into the computer. I've decided that the series will be five issues long (I have a couple other planned titles with a five series run too) and I already have ideas for a couple of the issues.

Here's hoping your week gets off to a good start! Raidra (talk) 00:24, January 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * On a related note, here are a couple of clips. Last night I was just cracking up laughing because I found some videos with L getting continuously prank called, three by someone named hellshadowx and two by someone named acmilanfan704. Here are a couple of them-.
 * I did some work on the profiles today. I should be done in a day or two, but here are the drawings.  I had fun designing Change-Up's different modes.  The little boxes by each form are the auras he has before transforming.  Aw, thanks!  :-D
 * That's good! :-) Raidra (talk) 01:19, January 31, 2017 (UTC)

"One of these days I'll find you, you little punk!" Could you imagine an episode in which Light gets prank called and spends the rest of the episode trying to learn the prankster's name to write it in the notebook? I actually saw an interesting video proposing that Moe knows it's Bart Simpson that's calling him, and that he goes along with it because he's lonely and is forming an odd sort of friendship with Bart (Bart gets a laugh and Moe gets some attention).

Glad to hear it! I left space on the paper for five more modes, so we'll see. The Superpower wiki has something called Environmental Mode, in which the user changes form to match an environment. I thought, "Well, there's no one mode for that because there are different environments." For instance, you could have a desert mode, a swamp mode, a tundra mode, etc. (which is the same line of thinking that the makers of action figures follow). That suddenly makes me want to have a Tuntun-themed mode. After Carrie Fisher passed I asked my brother, "Do you remember when the worst thing that could happen to a Star Wars fan was someone making fun of the Holiday Special?" Raidra (talk) 18:24, January 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * It suddenly occurred to me last night that maybe I could give Change-Up's stealth mode a camouflage ability, about like the Hiding with Camouflage Techniqueand Cloak of Invisibility Technique from Naruto. The appearance on the paper could be his appearance when he initially changes into the form and when he's in a dark environment, and then it could change color based on his surroundings (white and glistening in the snow, green and mottled in the forest, gray and stucco in an urban setting, etc.).  Here's a piece of trivia I meant to mention, but I forgot (I think I forgot; I really don't remember).  That mode has an auditory element as well as a visual one- those squares/rectangles are sound-absorbing panels.  I Googled Batman action figures and found this- http://nerdist.com/this-set-of-rainbow-batman-action-figures-can-at-last-be-yours/.  That's one way to have a variety of costumes.  This image also came up . Wow! That one on the right is one great disguise!  ~laughs~ I'd heard that story before, but I'd forgotten it.  I wonder who'll get that copy now.  She definitely had a sense of humor, so maybe she bequeathed it to George Lucas with a note saying, "Hey, I know how much you wanted to get your hands on copies of this..." Raidra (talk) 03:21, February 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I have a heroine who always wears a gray dress, but has a different color of mask and shoes for each day.  Your Bat-days of the week costume idea sounds awesome!  The only downside is something like this happening.
 * Officer (heckling)- Hey, why're you wearing Wednesday's costume on Friday? You go on a bender or something?
 * Other Officer (upset)- Haven't you heard!? He got gassed and imprisoned by some fiend the other night! He only managed to escape and apprehend his captors a couple hours ago!
 * Officer (embarrassed)- Oh. (awkward pause) Well, you smell nice. That must be some great Bat-deodorant you have!
 * Batman- Thank you.
 * Batman wouldn't be the first pop culture figure to beat Godzilla . So wait, was her copy a bootleg... or was it the source of the bootlegs?  DUN-DUN-DUNNNN! Raidra (talk) 03:11, February 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, by the way, check this out- http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:EtherBot/Random_Writer%27s_Showcase:_Raidra. Raidra (talk) 03:12, February 7, 2017 (UTC)

"I'm Batman! I don't have to answer questions!" (silently curses himself for hanging costume on the wrong peg) That makes you wonder what underwear Bruce Wayne is wearing (Wow, that turned out alliterative). I recently saw a video promoting The Lego Batman Movie. It had Batman and Bruce Wayne taking turns showing off Wayne Manor (a la MTV Cribs), and Batman explained that Bruce Wayne was his roommate. Someone jokingly commented something like, "So that's how he can afford all those things! Bruce Wayne gives him money! What a kind friend!"

Thanks! Hopefully you'll get one of your own. Raidra (talk) 04:09, February 7, 2017 (UTC)

 * Yes. I will make several paper roses. I will pay attention to the shapes, use colored paper. Maybe I'll even learn to make orchids. It will be beautiful. Then I'll set them on fire and watch them burn as I scream obscenities at myself and then drown myself in cheap alcohol as any good self-hating artist would.


 * I'm the Hand of God. The one where he holds the spear

Well, I see something happened in the wee hours of the morning while I innocently slumbered! In any case, that Batman line was pretty funny. Speaking of the Batmobile, here's an interesting article I came across some time ago- http://daveslongbox.blogspot.com/2007/04/batmobile-what-pain-in-ass.html. Raidra (talk) 01:37, February 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Huh. Maybe I didn't copy the link correctly. Try Googling "the batmobile has to be a pain".  That should direct you to the page.  Cool! I'll check it out when I can. Raidra (talk) 15:17, February 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * I can imagine a scene like 10:10-10:55 of this video happening in Gotham City. I like the idea of the multiple vans too.  All this talk about vehicles made me think of a moment from Mystery Science Theater 3000.  They were watching a Gumby short with a scene in which Gumby's father (Gumbo, who was apparently a fireman) was called home to deal with some out-of-control robots.  He scrambled into the fire truck and one of the guys joked, "I'll just take the company car!"  You're certainly welcome! Raidra (talk) 19:29, February 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * I originally put "10:15", but upon further review I decided I had to have "10:10" so you could catch Fred's goofy expression at 10:12. X-D  Well, now we know why he gets to drive!  My question is how did the car chasing them get on the roof to continue the chase? Ooh, I hope the Transformer you find is a Winneabago! (I'll have to find the link to that conversation) Raidra (talk) 19:44, February 8, 2017 (UTC)


 * Here it is. Raidra (talk) 19:47, February 8, 2017 (UTC)

Not really; I just typed "Winneabago" into the search engine. X-D I love that we have these archives because it's great to re-read old conversations. To have the full experience, though, you need to have both sides because otherwise you might find yourself wondering what it was you had said/the other person had said to make them/you give the response they/you gave. Someday I'll have to make a a scrapbook or a Word file of conversations I've had with people on here.

I've thought of potential titles for that series with Ki and wanted to run them by you to see what you think. That sounds good, and you explained it so well. Super Human it is! Thanks! :-D Raidra (talk) 14:06, February 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * Superhuman- He has superpowers, but he also has very human problems that are showcased.
 * Ki on the Couch- This is pretty straightforward- his name is Ki and he's undergoing psychoanalysis. This is the front-runner so far.
 * Ten to One- This one has a couple different meanings. One is that Ki had a high position  but is now feeling low.  The other is that when Bartlet hypnotizes someone, he ends by slowly counting down from ten to one.  The subject gradually relinquishes control, and when Bartlet gets to one they're completely under.  Bartlet ends the sessions by slowly counting from one to ten, with the subject gradually regaining control until they've completely awoken from the trance. Raidra (talk) 01:27, February 9, 2017 (UTC)

I've also thought of a little in-joke, which is Ki having a love of green apple-flavored jellybeans. This is a reference to a certain light green bean. Raidra (talk) 04:34, February 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I don't understand the "snot beans" comment. Did you miss the link I put at the end, or do senzu beans taste like snot?  Anyway, that was a funny clip you sent me!  The best moments in that montage were A) Harry taking the bean out of his mouth and B) Dumbledore playing bean roulette. What, they don't have a "picking the right candy" spell?  One time they featured the Jelly Belly factory on Dirty Jobs.  They explained that sometimes they made gross jellybeans to show how confident they are in making flavors, which inspired consumer confidence.  They made a batch of jellybeans based on Mike's dirty stinky work boots.  Me, I'll stick with the Dr. Pepper-flavored ones. Raidra (talk) 17:38, February 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. ~laughs~ Naw, I think I'll stick with green apple flavor. It's either green apple or it snot.  I remember seeing those in candy stores and thinking, "What on earth is this?" A check of the Jelly Belly website shows they're still for sale.  If you type "Beanboozled" into their search engine you'll find more roulette products like that.  For instance, one kind of green jellybean could be either juicy pear flavor or booger flavor, another kind of green could be either lime or grass clippings, and white could be either coconut or baby wipes (or spoiled milk depending on the edition).  I'm actually morbidly curious about the baby wipes one.  If anyone could make a baby wipe-flavored jellybean, it's Jelly Belly.  Here's Jim Gaffigan's thoughts on Valentine's Day candy and other holiday traditions- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJAxRVeKnTE. Raidra (talk) 23:23, February 10, 2017 (UTC)
 * I imagined this conversation a few minutes ago.
 * Visiting friend- (samples candy from bowl and then grimaces) Ugh, what are these?
 * Ki- Oh, those? They're booger-flavored.
 * Visiting friend- Ha! I have to admit, that's a pretty good prank!
 * Ki- Prank? Raidra (talk) 01:15, February 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * I know what you mean because I've neglected my comics for way too long. I've done material for them (like making character drawings & entries and developing story ideas), but I haven't made an actual issue in a while.  Hopefully this'll be a good year as far as that's concerned.  I understand about building profits too because you don't want to have a lazy product like Clutch Cargo (Then again, Clutch Cargo is entertaining because it looks like they didn't even try).  I may take a few days off too; we'll see how it goes.  You're certainly welcome, and best of luck! :-) Raidra (talk) 14:33, February 13, 2017 (UTC)

Reply to "A Horde of Zubats Appeared!" Message
"Don't spend your money on Repels they said! The bats won't bother you they said!" the employee ranted. Speaking of bats, a few years ago, a bat entered my mom's house and she had to chase it out. Keep in mind that bats are pretty rare where my mom lives so that was a bit of a surprise for her.

Speaking of surprises, I never would've seen myself use a Magnemite on my Pokemon team but I went for it and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Usually my go to Electric mons are Jolteon or Ampharos but I think Magnemite (even when it hasn't reached its Magnezone phase) is just as good and in some aspects better than my two go to choices.

So I uploaded the second episode of the Johto Quest series which you can see here: (http://theofficialpokemonjohtoquestsite.weebly.com/episode/pokemon-johto-quest-season-1-episode-2-on-our-way-to-the-lake-of-rage)

Not only that, but I also decided to make a TV Tropes page for it (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/PokemonJohtoQuest) in order to promote it and hopefully get more people to read it. The page needs a bit of work but I'll let other people add to it.

Here's the latest version of the episode three outline: (http://pastebin.com/CQRajYS2)

Actually, I have a more updated version that's 95% completed: (http://pastebin.com/U5i6LUK5) I'm having trouble coming up with the narrator's ending comments for this episode. I'm just not feeling inspired. I might look for transcripts of Pokemon episodes to fix this problem.

When my entire Sun and Moon team gets to level one hundred, I'm going to switch them out and train a new team. Though this new team will also use a Magnemite because I had so much success with it. I put a Bagon in the GTS and asked for an Ampharos in return. If I get that Ampharos, I'm going to breed it and get a Mareep.

Reply to "Dragons for Sheep? Really?" Message
I did it! I got the narrator's ending speech. Here's what got: (With Emily's first gym badge earned, she's one step closer to getting admitted into the Nidoran region and seeing her dad. Yeah, she got it at the cost of fainting Eddy but she did concour her fear of the Houndour so I guess it balances out. Where will our heroes go and what will they see after this? Find out next time on Pokemon: Johto Quest!)

"Sacrilege, you trading away dragons :O" To be fair, I have like three other Bagons in my PC so trading one away for an Ampharos doesn't seem that unreasonable to me. Also, Ampharos has a fabulous mega evolution that's part dragon type. Plus, I really wanted a Mareep without having to buy another game to transfer it over from.

Also, guess what I found? This: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFlAzzApiWs)

Reply to "Blue Eyes White Salamance!" Message
In generation seven, no new mega evolutions have been made though they are still seen in the games (though they're less common in those games). There's this new mechanic called Z-Moves that upgrade a certain type of move to a Z-Move when your Pokemon holds a certain type of Z-Crystal. For example, my Mudsdale knows Earthquake and is currently holding the Groundium Z Crystal. If I select the Z Move option in the move menu during a battle and select Earthquake, that move will be upgraded to Tectonic Rage. The power of the Z-Move also depends on the base power of the selected move. For example, Earthquake has a base power of 100 so Tectonic Rage will do about 180 damage.

So I began working on my Haunting Hour pasta again and I'm at the part where Kristy is looking for her mother in the furniture store. However, I'm totally stuck! This is the part I'm talking about:

(Chapter 16 The two parted ways as Kristy just sat there smiling, staring at her newly acquired yen. She quietly slipped the cash into her pocket and walked away from the bed. As she was walking away, she looked around and noticed that her mother was nowhere in sight. She walked up and down a few aisles as her head darted from side to side. As she walked down more aisles, she slowly increased her walking speed and held her breath for at least several seconds before letting out a huge sigh.) The previous two chapters focus on Kristy and her mother at the furniture store. Do you want me to send you those as well?I'm also working on a plot outline for a pasta called Sunny Hill Farms and I might work on that a bit more in hope that it will fix my writer's block.

Heeere's Hailey!  Wanna Talk?   18:21, February 23, 2017 (UTC)

Hey hey hey, Captain!
It's funny that you used the title you did because I made a What's Happening!! reference on Hailey's page earlier. Mom has had some health concerns recently, but thankfully she's doing better. I'm okay, just tired. How about you? I've been meaning to ask how your Dad is doing.

I have made some progress. I've worked on some comic book characters and on a draft which I plan to post on the WW someday. For the last few days I've been working on, of all things, hotel floor plans for my comic books. You see, I had been doing some reading on hotels lately, and I thought it would be neat to design some for my comics. I thought that if some of these groups, heroic or villainous, were involved in the hotel industry, that would provide not only a source of income for them, but also a discreet place for the members to hide out. It's mental exercise for me because I find it fun and challenging to design floor plans for secret hideouts and the like.

I don't know because, for one reason or another, I haven't watched Toonami in a while. Presumably JoJo is still on. I like Toonami, but it sometimes seems like it's bad to drop shows from the lineup, change times, or start a series from the beginning all of a sudden. Raidra (talk) 02:41, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * It's looking good so far. I'm sorry to hear about your setback.  Believe me, I know about being ticked off at medical people!  I'm ready to listen anytime you need to vent.  Hopefully you'll get more help from people who actually care.
 * Thanks! I've been having fun designing them too. That's cool! One time I made a labyrinth/dungeon (It wasn't as much a maze as it was a number of tunnels leading to various rooms, with only one leading to the outside) with a number of monsters.  There was even a backstory to go along with it as the protagonist had a number of tasks to accomplish.  I don't know whatever happened to it, but I assume it's around here somewhere.  It's fun to make your own monsters, hideouts, weapons, etc.
 * I recently found out I'd been getting the name wrong. I'd been calling it "Dragon Ball Z Super" and it's really just "Dragon Ball Super". The weird thing is they seem to show a Dragon Ball show at eight or so, then show some adult cartoons like Family Guy and Rick and Morty (which was definitely not meant to air at 9:00 or 9:30 at night) until eleven or midnight, and then switch to Toonami.  Why not have it like an ordinary night until midnight?  What's the frickin' point?  "I reject my pride in making quality DVDs, JoJo!" Yeah, that's why you have to do research first. Raidra (talk) 22:58, March 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yay! :-D I hope he continues to recover.
 * I guess it's because Dragon Ball was the original series (meaning the one in which Yamcha wasn't blown up and thus didn't get heckled for it), but it does sound a little odd because Dragon Ball Z is the more popular one. I read that a few years ago Adult Swim aired The Room, one of the worst movies ever made, as an April Fool's joke.  Then a year or two later they showed the first few minutes (giving the impression that this had become a yearly tradition) before cutting to regular programming. Raidra (talk) 14:28, March 11, 2017 (UTC)

You really can't expect the audience to react to something if the characters can't even bother to react. I think a lot of people feel the same way about The Room. It was recently number eight on PhantomStrider's list of the top ten worst movies of all time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCrSiPzRSOI). I don't remember if I said this already, but my favorite bad movie is Cool as Ice. I laughed so much the first time I saw that movie! The funniest scene, to me, is when the main character is smoothing his coif and brushing off his clothes, and the lawn sprinklers go off on him. X-D My brother got it for me one Christmas, so sometime after that I borrowed a camcorder, set up a couple dolls, popped in the tape, and gave the movie the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment. Raidra (talk) 23:25, March 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * I tried to find the sprinkler scene on YouTube, and in the process I found what purports to be the whole movie- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyCCHKIOGeY. Go to 36:15-36:45 for the sprinkler scene.  I had a lot of fun making that MST3K-type video.  I'm actually a fan of Vanilla Ice (who got gypped on Dancing with the Stars last season, by the way), so the jokes were generally lighthearted even though some of them were cutting.  Someone in the credits was nicknamed "Boom", so I had one of the characters note, "Hey, 'Boom'! That what's this film did at the box office!" (I think it lasted three days in theaters)  Personally my favorite gag was when I observed, "He has nice eyelashes (1:03:00-1:03:15)," and I had the two dolls turns and look at me like, "Why are you noticing that?"
 * Right on! I think people should feel free to do things from their childhood (as long as it's not trying to get through a slide tube that's obviously too small for them, or something like that). Raidra (talk) 16:10, March 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, by the way, I also had a Teletubbies segment that I also spoofed, like how MST3K would sometimes spoof a short before the main feature. My sister-in-law (my brother's wife) thought it was funny when Tinky-Winky greeted, "Eh-oh!" and one of my characters replied, "Whaddup, G?" Raidra (talk) 16:12, March 14, 2017 (UTC)

Reply to "Stuck 2: Weekend at Bernie's" Message
I finished writing the outline for episode three and I'm currently writing the actual episode now. What I am stuck on however is chapter sixteen of the Haunting Hour pasta. One of the problems I'm having is working up the interest/motivation to work on the story again since I've been busy working on Johto Quest and Sunny Hill Farms (not sure if you want to see those projects since you have a lot to read). Here's chapter sixteen:

(Chapter 16

The two parted ways as Kristy just sat there smiling, staring at her newly acquired yen. She quietly slipped the cash into her pocket and walked away from the bed. As she was walking away, she looked around and noticed that her mother was nowhere in sight. She walked up and down a few aisles as her head darted from side to side. As she walked down more aisles, she slowly increased her walking speed and held her breath for at least several seconds before letting out a huge sigh.

As she wandered through the store, a lightbulb suddenly went off in her head. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her cellphone. She then browsed through her contacts until she found her mother's number. She tapped the green phone icon next to the number and the dial tone started to play a few seconds later. Eventually, Kristy heard a message over the phone.

"Hi! This is Janice from NCC! Sorry I'm not able to take your call right now. But if you kindly leave your name and number, I'd be happy to get back to you as soon as possible."

Before Kristy could leave a message, she tapped the end option on the call screen as she blankly stared out into space. She slowly slipped the phone back into her pocket and thought to herself, "That's strange. Mom almost never lets it go to voicemail." She gulped and resumed her wandering. As she was wandering, Kristy suddenly felt something heavy slam onto her shoulder. She quickly turned around and screamed. However, when she took a closer look, she soon realised that it was her mother and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Looks like someone's a little jumpy." Kristy's mother chuckled.)

What I think I want to happen next is that Kristy will playfully deny being jumpy and her mom will ask her if she found anything and then cut to the next scene. I also want to go back through the story and have the protagonist comment on certain scenes in the episode and have the comments taper off as the story progresses. However, I need to work up the motivation to work on the story.

I recently completed a story called The White Wolf of Rhode Island and uploaded it up on my website. I'm not sure if it's good enough to put up on the Writer's Workshop here on the wiki. The last time I uploaded a story on WW, it got mixed reception so that's why I'm nervous about submitting stuff to WW.

"As for being afraid of getting a negative reception on your stories, you gotta put them out there if you want to improve, put your heart on the line. I know it sucks having people dislike and poke holes at things one has spent hours upon hours working upon, but it's better to seek improvement than to risk stagnation (if you write for your stories to be read by others that is. Writing for one's self is a different matter entirely). But you know, fear will/can hold you back on this, just like with everything else in life. Soldier on through it, I believe in you!" And the award for the Most Logical Advice on a Talk Page Award goes to... Brave! (Crowd boos and Wreck it Ralph comes in and says: "I'm gonna wreck it!") In all seriousness though, I took your advice and posted [http://my story on Writer's Workshop my story on Writer's Workshop]. Now I just need to wait for feedback. Hopefully, this story should be better since it's not based off of an overdone topic like Pokemon.

So if the Cape Cod pasta gets finished and gets poor or mixed reception, I have two other story ideas that could be considered "Lost Episode" stories. One is called Cut Content, which involves a person who goes by the username of KathyUncut who reviews lost media on a series called Cut Content. She decides to review The Haunting Hour episode that's featured in the Cape Cod pasta. The story will be in the style of a video transcript. Here's a little bit of the story so far:

(Disclaimer: The following is a transcript of a YouTube video that was taken down due to the use of copyrighted content.

0:00 - 1:56: Hello there ladies and gentlemen! This is KathyUncut and you're watching Cut Content, the series where I take a look at episodes of shows that they didn't want you to see! Guys I'm really excited because this is the 50th episode of Cut Content! I want to take a moment to thank all of those who have been supporting this show. As a token of my appreciation, I'm going to be looking at something that quite a few of you had requested for the longest time. That, ladies and gentlemen, is none other than R.L Stine's: The Haunting Hour! Now for those of you who aren't familar with the show, I'll give you the rundown. Basically, The Haunting Hour is a kid's horror anthology series that's akin to something like Goosebumps (shows the opening for the Goosebumps TV show), except that it's lot darker and scarier in comparison. Don't believe me? Well, take a look at episodes like Weeping Woman (shows footage from Weeping Woman) and Detention (Show footage from Detention) and you'll see just how dark and scary this show can be. So the episode we're going to be looking at today is "Samuraigāru o shōkan!", which roughly translates to "Summon the Samurai Girl!"

Now before we get into the meat and potatoes of things, I wanna say one more thing. So as some of you might know, LittleRascalProductions (Shows a screenshot of Rascal's YouTube channel) is the person who usually does the animations for the Cut Content series. However, since he's currently taking care of his uncle in Florida, he wasn't able to make the animations for this episode. Instead, the animations for this episode were done by SpaceFerret (shows a screenshot of SpaceFerret's YouTube channel) and if you happen to be a fan of Rascal's content, I suggest giving SpaceFerret's channel a look. With that out of the way, let's begin!)

The other one is called Rough Terrain and is about a person who attends a Driver's Ed class and watches a movie called Rough Terrain, which is a film imported from Canada. This move, according to the instructor, is more intense than Red Asphalt and other Driver's Ed movies. At first, the class is skeptical. But when they watch the film, they realize the instructor was telling the truth.

Regarding the part where the protagonist comments on the scenes, I think there are a lot of people out there who do a Mystery Science Theater 3000 sort of thing by themselves, especially if they like to think out loud like me. Speaking of that, sometimes when I think out loud, I'm afraid someone's going to look like I'm crazy if they catch me doing it.

I've been thinking about my Haunting Hour pasta. On the one hand, I would like to finish it so that two years of work won't go to waste but on the other hand, I feel like if I go with Rough Terrain or Cut Content, it will have a better chance of being accepted on the Creepypasta wiki, should I decide to submit it.

I've been doing more work on my Sunny Hill Farms outline and episode three of Johto Quest. If you want, I can link you to one or both of these. I've also been writing a story about a runaway girl named Yuki who meets a guy that's the creator of a successful video game series called Super Sloth. Its partly inspired by my major dissatisfaction with the Fifty Shades series.

Okay, here's the latest version of the third Johto Quest episode: (http://pastebin.com/qwnsED1n) Here's a bonus story for you to check out since I made you wait: (http://pastebin.com/GWNDjv7R).

I meant to send you a message yesterday but I was feeling rather sick. On Monday, I had my leftovers from the place I went to on Saturday and I felt rather sick. I had stomach pain (it felt like a rock was sitting in my stomach) and once that went away, I had heart burn. I still had heart burn by the time yesterday came around. I had the dish at least a couple of times before and I never had these issues after eating it. I think what might've happened is that I got a mild case of food poisoning and didn't realize it until now. I think the next time I eat there, I'm going to get something else just to be safe.

A Produce Storm
At the Kroger Supermarket we go to they sometimes flash lights and play the sounds of thunder and wind before turning on the sprinklers, like a storm has suddenly broken out just in the produce section. X-D

Oh, that's awesome! I agree that the music is a little off, but it's cool that someone strung them together to make an episode like that, and it's cool that the video game people made the scenes in the first place. Here are some thoughts I had. I also thought of something else- The Joker of B:TAS actually cracks jokes. I bring that up because I saw someone a few months ago (referring to the Arkham games) say The Joker doesn't make jokes. Well, he does in B:TAS, that's all I have to say! That's what I loved most about "The Last Laugh" episode, him constantly cracking wise. Raidra (talk) 16:00, March 18, 2017 (UTC)
 * When Batman asked the henchwomen where their pretty boss was, I thought it would've been funny for some ugly guy to come out.
 * Ax-Wielding Batman is savage! I feel a little bad for the plant because it didn't ask for this; it just fell in with bad company.
 * It wasn't nice of Batman to wreck the toy store, although it was the front for a criminal, so I can understand him feeling malicious.
 * I loved Gordon telling him, "I'll clean up here."
 * You may have noticed that after "Rupert Thorne" punches the monitor he has shards of glass sticking out of his hand. I thought, "Wow, Rupert Thorne's a boss!"  After the reveal it made more sense, so in retrospect that may have been a clue.
 * Clayface wielding the gun made me think of this- http://www.superdickery.com/batman-and-robin-man-the-machine-gun/.
 * Clayface as a tire- Keep on truckin'!
 * As often as crooks nearly die trying to escape Batman, you'd think some of them would give up. "I'm not doing this anymore, man! I'm tired of nearly getting drowned and blown up! I'm just going to wait here with my hands behind my head, and if you're smart, you'll do the same!"
 * By the way, I recently heard somewhere that you can get Venus flytrap seeds through the mail.
 * Admit it- we all geeked out when we heard Mark Hamill's voice. That's good. My source for him not making jokes in the games was a video talking about how bad The Riddler was in those games (basically being a lame psychopath with no wit or talent, from what they showed).  That clip was great because it showed The Joker's planning ability as well as his sense of humor.  I don't know why Batman didn't just shoot him with a tranquilizer dart after he stepped away from the TV, but I loved Bats just nonchalantly tossing side the thugs.  It reminded me of this scene from Airplane!.  You gotta love the guy at 0:18 who sees the chaos and goes, "Yeah, I'd better stop right here."
 * I think I've said this before, but the sad thing is I wonder how much of the praise is bandwagoning. I'm not knocking Ledger, his performance, or the people who are genuinely fans (I've seen the scene with him clapping about Gordon's promotion like "Hip-hip-hoo-freakin'-ray!" and thought it was funny).  It just bothers me that there are most likely pretenders out there.   Yeah, that's one of the best! X-D  That's one of the best moments in the whole series period, and the fifty-three cents line was icing on the cake.  I happened to look at the comments section and saw someone declare, "That was the second worst burn Two-Face suffered." Then someone actually asked, "What was the first?"  Gee, what do you think it was? Raidra (talk) 15:47, March 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Let's hope the mailman has an ax, eh? Speaking of which, did you know that in the early 90s Fox Kids had a children's cartoon inspired by Little Shop of Horrors?  Yes, you read that right. I didn't know until I saw TheMysteriousMrEnter do a video on it.  He also talked about it in his recent list of the worst cartoons of the 1990s.
 * I don't plan to play any of the games, but those segments were great! They really nailed the relationship between those two.  I hadn't realized until watching the first one that Kevin Conroy voiced Batman in those games too, so that just made it even better.
 * I guess they don't realize that you can say you preferred another depiction without being disrespectful. The real story behind Two-Face's scars- he wasn't injured by mobsters, he was just insulted by The Joker's "Yo Mama" jokes!  That actually makes me want to see Batman in an insult war with somebody. "Yo mama so stupid she sold her car for gas money! Yo mama so old she was the waitress at The Last Supper! Yo mama so ugly that Dracula wouldn't bite her!" Raidra (talk) 22:18, March 21, 2017 (UTC)


 * I thought of something else recently, and I seem to remember someone else talking about it. In anime you may have a character say something like, "I'm only at sixty percent of my power!"  How do they know?  If it's one of their powers, that's fine, but they should at least say so.  By the way, I saw a clip of an anime (I want to say it was Hitman Reborn) in which a villain, thinking he'd won, declared, "Too bad. I'm only at 80% of my power."  Then his opponent appeared behind him and replied, "I'm at 50%."  Yeah, boy, yeah! Raidra (talk) 02:44, March 22, 2017 (UTC)

So you see the problem, meaning you have more sense than anyone who worked on the show. That reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres talking about My Mother the Car- "I'm not saying whoever created it was on drugs, but whoever greenlit it had to have been." Wow, I didn't know those games were connected to the animated series so much! That's cool! It's a shame about the one you mentioned. It's always a shame when something gets ruined because of something stupid. It'd be one thing if Dini had said, "I need a break, so I'm going to sit this one out," but to tell a talented figure like that to get lost!? That's pathetic.

Hitting below the belt, eh, Joker? Batman would probably reply, "Oh, that's original!" He's had awkward monets about that before. Batman has great strength and ability, meaning he can take even the harshest Yo Mamma jokes despite his mother's demise and the circumstances behind it! Also, with his great heart, if someone cried due to one of his jokes, he'd say, "Hey, I went too far. Don't worry about it, okay? Let's go get a soda." What a guy! "In most tellings it is implied that Joker knows that Batman is Bruce Wayne but doesn't care, but I can't remember if that is the case for The Animated Series or not." That's how little The Joker cares- he couldn't even bother to clue the viewers in on whether or not he knows.

I wonder if their internal gauges can clue them in on other things? "I'm at forty percent power... and I'm slightly feverish..." In my reading about comic books and the like I came across an obscure Marvel hero called Jack of Hearts. One of his abilities is being able to detect any changes in temperature in a room. I think that could actually be useful because you could detect if someone enters or leaves the room without looking. Jack of Hearts is one of those characters that (ironically) doesn't get much love. In fact, I think they once kicked off an event by having him explode. Jack of Hearts- the Voltorb of the Avengers. Raidra (talk) 15:35, March 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * "I... made a comment about the protagonist's father having changed the definition of autoeroticism." X-D Just so we're clear, the mother wasn't always a car; she was a human who was reincarnated as a car after her death (because that makes sense).  That suddenly makes me wonder if the writers of the Michael Keaton movie Jack Frost, in which a man was reincarnated as his son's snowman, were fans of the show.  (On a side note, while I think Jack Frost has a stupid premise and I have no interest in watching it, I was flipping through the channels one day and actually came across a scene from that which made me tear up.)


 * X-D Eh, another pretty flower? I dunno. I want to say that sounds like it may have been in "Joker's Millions" for some reason, so either I have a vague memory of that or it seems like the most likely episode.


 * That's the difference between us and some comic book writers- we know how to write characters. There are characters who are treated as losers simply because the writers can't be bothered to write good stories for them or figure out how to use them properly.  From time to time you hear about obscure characters, who were underappreciated and basically treated a jokes, become big hits because a writer finally decided to create good stories for them (Cat-Man from DC's Secret Six comes to mind).  By the way, I loved the version of Aquaman on the Batman: The Brave and The Bold cartoon because he was so outrageous and fun.  There was an episode in which Batman had been poisoned by Chemo and had Aquaman summon Atom Ryan Choi to help.  After The Atom analyzed the poison, Aquaman asked him, "What treatment do you recommend, doctor?"  Atom asked, "You don't know what kind of doctor I am, do you?" referring to the fact that he was a doctor of physics and not a medical doctor. Without missing a beat, Aquaman replied, "A hero doctor, through and through!" X-D Raidra (talk) 02:18, March 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * I thought that if it had been Cow & Chicken, there would have been a human-car pairing. I also think the less time we spend trying to make sense of the premise, the better.  Heh, chill. X-D


 * I don't know why because both the lottery and TV shows give crazy people money all the time.


 * The book Mad About Superheroes had a section spoofing comics and their advertisements (I'd say from either the late '90s or early 2000s). One of the fake issues was The Terminator vs. The Hulk, which I found out later was inspired by actual comics pitting movie characters against comic book characters.  One bystander asked what The Terminator was clobbering Hulk with and the second bystander replied, "His ego."  I'm not trying to rag on Arnold, but that story illustrates what you were talking about.  There was even an instance in which one writer got back at another one for previously weakening his character just to make his own character seem stronger. Raidra (talk) 15:45, March 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * You may have heard this already, but here's a another entry for the "Bad Game Show Contestants" file. Mom and I recently had the TV on Wheel of Fortune while we did dishes, and at one point the puzzle read, " A STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE."  It was obviously "A Streetcar Named Desire", but this guy asked if there were a "K".  The audience gasped and groaned audibly, and I noted, "It's no wonder they're groaning! Not only did he miss an obvious puzzle, but he apparently thinks the play is 'A Streetcar Naked Desire'! It sounds like a porno!"  I told my aunt about it later and she told me she had seen that segment on two or three shows.  The guy made another serious blunder, but I forget what it was. Raidra (talk) 16:06, March 29, 2017 (UTC)

I hope you feel better by the time you read this.

That suddenly made me think of what panhandling in Gotham City must be like. "You're not going to use this to buy chemicals for a crime spree, are you?" "Naw, man. If I wanted to do that, I'd paint my face and throw in with some of these weirdos trying to gas the city all the time." That in turn made me think of the episode of B:TAS in which Batman is on the invisible car driven by the invisible jewel thief. They pass by a couple of bums, and one remarks to the other, "I didn't know he could fly!"

I agree completely. In addition to clever and creative heroes, I also think villains who are creative and clever are more interesting than these "I'm so freakin' omnipotent! Grr!" guys. If your characters are nothing but one-dimensional, interchangeable, "unstoppable" powerhouses, then you're really not that skilled as a writer.

"A Streetcar Naked Desire"- from the minds who brought you My Mother the Car. I think I remember that guy. I also remember the infamous horse segment. Raidra (talk) 16:08, March 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * That's good! X-D "This looks like a job... for Batman!"  "Have you ever noticed that you never see Batman and Bruce Pointy-Eared Mask Reporter together?"  Also, did you notice his buttons popped off?  He goes through more thread that way!
 * I agree; having back-up plans makes a character (hero or villain) seem more cunning and intimidating. Speaking of plans, one of the most impressive villainous rampages I've seen was by a DC Comics villainess called The Mist II.  In Starman Vol. 2 number 38, she managed to pull off a plan that actually killed a number of lesser-known heroes.  I managed to find a copy on-line- https://comicastle.org/read-starman-vol-2-1994-chapter-38.html.  As far as escaping traps go, someone once noted that Batman's ability to escape death-traps depends not just on his skill and intelligence, but also his ability to fight off panic.  There was actually an issue in which Batman and Robin were put through a number of death-traps they'd previously survived, but they had to find new ways to beat them because the villain had sabotaged the ways they'd previously beaten them.

The place I went to the other week is one I've been going to for years and I've never gotten sick there so why I got sick afterwards I have no idea. But just as a precaution, I'm going to order something else the next time we eat our food there. I'm feeling much better today though.

I plan on going back to episode one and changing them into descriptions of the Pokemon featured in the episode. But because Weebly editing sucks on mobile, I'll wait until I get back to my dad's house. I've also been doing more work on episode three but I'll hold off on sending you stuff for a while.

I've been starting on a romance story called Kenji and Yuki: A Japanese Tale that's about a runaway girl (Yuki) who accidentally meets a guy (Kenji) who happens to be the creator of a successful indie game series called Super Sloth (A side scrolling beat 'em up game that's similar to TMNT: Turtles in Time). As the story progresses, they find that they have a lot in common with each other and start to fall in love with one another. I don't think I've ever written a romance story before but I'm almost done writing up the character sheets and I started on the plot outline. I was thinking of turning it into a novel and self publishing it but that means I'm going to have to try really hard to make it good. One of the things I will add is scenes where you actually see Kenji working.

I thought adding Ehh to the end of the first paragraph would be kind of funny but I might either remove or rework the part. I want the narrator in this series to have a sense of humor and some times interact with the characters so that was one of my attempts at it.
