    I... I just read (a significant portion) of Guts by Chuck Palniuk. Do not repeat my mistake....
    If I like Palniuk's other books likePygmy, is it okay for me?
    It's just... Uhhhhhggghh. Look it up at your own peril.
    It's not... Bad, or anything. It's just... Once I figured out the part, I almost threw up. I'm not very good with that kinda thing, though.
    It's not the grossest story inHaunted.

    It's also based on a true story.
    That doesn't make it any better. :/

    A) "FF4."
    B) "FF4?"

    You get the jist of the joke. They're both pretty bad by game standards.

    I highly encourage it.
    My morbid curiosity is telling me to get it.

    What is the best in storytelling standards?

    Game is more than story. Game stories are also pretty poor across the board.

    I glossed over the plot summary. When I saw words relating to masturbation, carrots, and gnawing through one's own prolapsed intestines I was done (white-texted because it's super gross).

    Oh this story. I read it when I was probably 13. It's why I still have a fear of those drain pipes in pools.

    That's quite a broad generalization you're making there. I would like to hear a rationale that supports it.

    He meant to quote Omnutia's text instead...I think.

    Look at any AAA title from the past decade, and odds are that it'll have a shitty story. Even games with comparably good stories have pretty bad, cliche stories by the standards of every other media. Even the Half Life games boil down to a pretty generic Sci-Fi romp.

    There's very little you can do. You have to structure your story in a way that fits the gameplay, which is almost always you vs them. How many times can you rehash the story of a single man taking on an army? It's rare when you get something special, something that tries to do better.

    You get them occasionally, and then they don't sell.

    One of my duties at the newspaper is to write a caption for a weekly "time capsule" photo from the area's historical society archives as a human interest eye-catcher. I was supposed to caption one today about the Knights of the Macabee Band from ca. 1900, but the editor just asked me what this "Knights of the Old Republic" is that I wrote about. Whoops. Attention slipped.

    My wife just called me "Retardo Montelban."
    I called Adam that a while ago. That is very, very strange.

    I also like ham. As proof, I present the fact that I had a ham and bacon omlet for breakfast with onions and olives.

    Uuuuugh. Do you have any fucking idea how many times I killed the fucking Harbinger? Fucking bug-man son of a syphilitic Bangkok whore and a cockroach flyin' around in a giant space-turd shootin' my Normandy with a piss-beam motherfucker. You're goddamn right I set him up the bomb. Shootin' him in the head with a Widow just wasn't getting the job done.

    You were broke at the time huh?

    Have you even the faintest idea of how much damage a marshmallow the size of the moon could cause?!
