9:07am: Menus are serious business!
I have even more GameFAQs wank for you today, this time in the Dragon Quest VIII board.

Ashley Winchester makes a post saying he is "Disgusted by the North American Demo" because it has a graphical menu system and voice acting, and, therefore, the game will suck.

Wank about graphical menus, spell names, voice acting, UK Spelling, the validity of opinions, and GameFAQs user contributions follow.

68 replies in less than 12 hours. This one is gonna be huge.

3:47pm: Wank befitting of Halloween!
Well, on Bravo, I watched a little special about the 100 Scariest Movie Moments of all time. A few were foreign films--one of which was Audition, a Japanese horror film. It's damned unpleasant. So, naturally, I'm fascinated and head over to good ol' IMDB and look at the reviews and message boards. And on the message boards I find a comment has degenerated into wank.

Someone says they didn't like the movie. States why. And for a while, people politely tell him that maybe he wasn't looking for the right thing--it's a psychological film, don't interpret it literally, watch it more than once, all that. And then our catalyst jumps into the fray!

( Movie discussion = Americans suck )

OH NO!!! AMERICAN BASHING!!!!!!!! BROAD STEREOTYPES!!!

And what wank is complete without pointless swearing?

( That outta do it, derek, thank you very much )

Well, that really helps your case--no one will ever bash Americans after that.

A few more choice quotes:

( We don't suck! Stop saying we suck! If we suck, you suck! )

And, finally, shrubbmeister hops in to put in his own little wank:

( Would've been fine to insult the movie--but no, you took a normal comment and turned it into splooge )

EDIT: Sorry, forgot links. All fixed.

4:11pm: Because shipping is just too terrifying a concept for halloween.
Fiction Alley Park set up a new banner to help celebrate halloween and get into the festive season.

The original banner can be seen, here.

In recognition of the banner, LadyEowyn starts a thread, located here giving praise to the art.

Friendly comments saying that the artist is Mudblood428, that the artwork is beautiful, pink doesn't suit Ginny, what is George upto etc.

*insert eeiry music here*

Of course it couldn't last long.

star22 comes in to make a complaint (Yes she is a H/Hr fan.)

I do love the idea of a Haloween banner, and it is well done, but it is rather ship specific. It really isn't fair to those who come here who don't ship those ships. Yes, they are canon, but still there are a lot of people here who don't like them. Her reasons are that FA should of chosen a more netural picture, since at least the part with Harry and Ginny seems pretty shippy to me. And that while Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione might be canon, that this is a fanon site though, not a canon-only one and home to people who ship a varity of things, that the banner is difficult to ignore depicting relationships that aren't all liked at FA and that the The banner really should be ship-neutral so it can accomidate all members.

Currently still going

ETA: Old banner is back. o_O;

Also the reason why the banner was changed is explained here in a copy paste from Theregoesmygun.

9:12pm: Over at somposifeed, the feed for webcomic Something Positive, troll jassa has apparently decided it is the epitome of wit to reply to every post with the same comment: "BOOBIES!!"

Okay, he's only struck twice so far, but I thought it belonged here because of the comments indicating that jassa is well known on other feeds (anyone know of any?) and therefore will probably not be giving up any time soon. And it's already pretty wanky.

11:20pm: Now they dead from coke
Nightwish is a semi-popular Finnish band that sounds metal and has a female lead singer named Tarja Turunen. Their big song was Nemo.

Well, had a female lead anyway.

I mentioned these events to a friend of mine, and she (brave soul) went to the forums and told me about all this over AIM. I'm just bringing you the good bits.
