Please stop linking to TvTropes!
« on: April 18, 2009, 06:37:37 pm »
Seriously. It's pretty much physically impossible not to start wondering around on that site and waste an hour or two. It's not funny. Don't do it. It's like putting crack in front of someone who's trying to quit their addiction.

Would it be easier if we were to post the revelant passages with a quote box?

"TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life"

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/soomanypagesssss2.jpg

Extra points if you can pick out the page names by the first few letters visible. El Goonish Shive is in there, as well as Tear Jerker, possibly? Discworld?

But yeah. Best wiki on the internet.

Hmm. I seem to have a weak form of resistance. I usually spend about 3 minutes reading it, as opposed to an hour.

I suspect that this may be a result of my natural lifespan being 20 times shorter than normal, but I don't want to think about that.

I have a resistance to it too, I've never read the TV-tropes thing for more then 20-30 seconds. I don't even know exactly what it is tbh.

I suspect this is because I'm not that much of a movie/tv fan.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

that website, somebody linked it from HERE too...

Who the hell writes all that shit anyways? There isn't enough lifetimes to peruse all fictional cliches there.

Its like the website ruins the ending and plot to everything that has ever been made or will ever been made.

Don't worry, you'll eventually exhaust yourself reading the tropes.

Eventually.

Weaklings. If you can't even control your will to withstand a simple website, how will you control yourself when it comes time for greater responsibilities? *poses dramatically*

Yes! We must defeat the Tvtropes with the Power of Friendship!

OH NO! IT'S ALREADY WON!

The power of friendship ruined Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni...

Since then I've sworn my revenge.
