Two RPs posted already with four days 'til the deadline I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. *shudders* The way I view it is that you can read and see what your opponent (if they're the one that posted) missed or was weaker on in their RP so you can strive to do what they didn't. That's why I kinda post later, haha.

Yep. Increased from 70m to 200m. So essentially infinite if you're in his line of sight. He's gonna be even more threatening on maps like Lijang and Blizzard World where he can get up high on a flank naturally, and combo with Mei's ice wall nicely if done correctly. I swear this game needs to know what to do with its heroes. I've been frustrated beyond belief since Brigitte came out.

Elder Scrolls VI and Last of Us 2 are huge. I didn't expect anything from Last of Us 2 for another couple of months.

I met Honky Tonk one year at NYCC. Total d*ck. The last Chaotic show I hit before last night's, they'd brought in Ted DiBiase for a M&G, and Cody Rhodes to work. Weighing mortality, I opted for DiBiase's M&G over Cody's in spite of my total markdom over anything Cody does. By all accounts, Ted's a class dude, but the c*nt rots in line before me ponied up the $30 for the pic and autograph combo and then threw a fit when he wouldn't sign thirty pops and four pictures and nineteen belts he never held for them, so he was right f*ckin' cheesed by the time I got up there. Still got a good pic with him, but man, I always take it with a grain sometimes when someone gets a rep as a d*ck, 'cause some wrestling fans can be A-grade melvins. Not Honky, though. That guy's name goes right in the d*ck bag. Thats where I met Lawler. I’ve always heard Honky Tonk Man was a bit of a douche.

I met Mick Foley last night. I'm not the biggest fan of him outside of the OG, brown gear Mankind and Cactus Jack, and I wasn't gonna pay the meet and greet fee, but then they offered a cheaper photo op at intermission after I got to watch him mandible claw one of the local guys, so I said f*ck it, and I'm really glad I did. Would love to meet Mick. He just seems like a good guy. I've met Jerry Lawler and John Cena's dad. Nothing can beat that combo.

Kyzer has always been Stephen Dorff. I win. Tommaso Ciampa for the win.

Gonna try to sweep aside the tumble weeds in this here general discussion with a question for everybody prompted by the discussion in Brennan's RP thread: what is your favorite book? Mine is Dune by Frank Herbert. That's a great book. Haven't read it in three years or so, but I'd love to read it again. Mine's is probably Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy.

I really liked this. I felt the extreme tension and the animosity between the Kyzer and Brennan played out in a way that I can picture in real life. I love when that sh*t happens because it makes the reader feel they aren't watching a movie but rather placing themselves in the moment with the characters' actions. I like your writing style because of how unique and driven it is. Without it, David Brennan would be much like any other guy clamoring for a "Godslayer" moniker.
With that being said, I agree with Frank on the three monologues thing. I felt like the last two could've been combined for greater impact, going on the whole notion of Kyzer being a "prodigal son" and stuff. There's a lot of wordplay there that really resonated with me so shortening either monologue or combining them could've done a little bit more for me as the reader.
I know it's strange that I'm nitpicking on the literary elements of your RP, but honestly, I think it's because of how much I've had to respond and critique other classmates' works on their style, devices, tone, and setting. But hell, if it gets me to respond to RPs (finally), then I'm game, haha.
Overall, I liked the tension and tone built in this piece and look forward to more.

Damn, I'm gonna miss seeing you around in competition. But, I totally get it. Coming from someone who really didn't know what college work was like until this semester puts it into a whole new perspective that I can relate to. You do you Shawn, that's what you're best at. I hope to see you around on the board in some capacity (like as you said, helping out or replying once in a while).

I can't even name a Heston film other than the two Planet of the Apes movies he was in and wasn't he in Soylent Green too? Loved that callback Burton included for Heston in his remake, which unlike most people I don't hate. Apes. Soylent Green. Ben-Hur. Wayne's World 2. Also Ten Commandments.

Trying to come up with a new character as soon as possible. Finals, however, are my priority at the moment.

Going to see the movie tomorrow night. Got some stuff spoiled to me online, but it was nothing too bad. I've been waiting for this movie since Civil War came out two years ago.

Hey guys, just dropping in to say that I have finally completed my first ever short story. I couldn't thank this place more for honing my skills to do so and I'm extremely proud that I was able to achieve something I've actually dreamed of. So, thank you guys.
Also, keep your eyes open for something (or should I say, someone) soon...

Well, I'm gonna be $65 richer in a few days. Me too. I know I’m going to forget and did it as a surprise for my future self. I heard we need to put in the PS3 serial number and our PSNs, right?

Rest in peace. Crazy coincidence that he passed away on Albert Einstein's birthday (and mine) and was born on Galileo's death date.
