My recent Katawa Shoujo kick has left me somewhat more subdued and low-key than usual.

The WTF is that I've not actually played the game. Just watched a let's play (of one of the brighter paths! [lilly]) and read half the TVtropes page. Usually games have to be played by me for me to be hit this way.

I dislike this feeling. This must be what normal people feel like all the time. I am vulnerable to lingering sadness. I dislike it. I wish I knew how to end the kick, as going cold turkey has only resulted in me mentally writing a fanfiction.

Hop over to /gif/ and look for one of the death/dismemberment/gore threads?

Play a game or watch a show that's upbeat and happy, instead?

Tried that. It did work, but the urge to go look at some more KS was still there and that got me... Not really depressed. I'm not sad, per se, I just have the sense that I'm not as impervious to it as usual. Usually I can shrug off all but the greatest of funks within a day or two.

I dislike seeing people die unless they are attacking someone else. Which is reason #1 why not to try to hurt someone around me. You lose the... protection. Then I don't care if you live or die. But I care about the other person.

Anyways how would gore help?

I've never seen upload speeds in excess of download speeds.

Of course, both are pretty damn atrocious. Never gonna download anything at this rate... :-\

I bet the upload speed is what caused that. Because most upload speeds are really really tiny in the US. I don't think most download speeds are that small though.

Whenever I beat that guy, he accuses me of thinking of pornstars >.>
Doesn't that mean that you are, indeed, thinking of pornstars?



(maybe that's the joke :P )
I was actually thinking of this dude:
Spoiler: Captain (click to show/hide)

Except for his name and awesome helmet, he is identical to the normal footman, which probably explains why the genie never managed to guess him. (He always guessed Footman before doing the ol' pornstar accusation)

Ah, you mean this dude?

He actually had higher stats than a regular footman in the wc3 campaign. Like, 50 more hit points and a couple more points of damage.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Shock value?  Desensitization?  Just seemed sufficiently different from KS to evoke a different reaction at least.

The fact that this guy has this much information on him, for what I thought was a throwaway mook, has me WTFing right now.

I can remember all of that exept for the exact number of hitpoints.  He also had some special dialogue stuff. 
I wish they made a Warcraft IV instead of all the WoW stuff.

I'm pretty sure Warcraft is dead forever because of WoW. Or at least it can't move forward. Maybe they could do some prequels.
