Re: James Cameron's Avatar
And finally, Pandora giving any humans who return a virus that will destroy humanity means... NO SEQUELS! As mentioned, it was only a threat of a virus. It says right after that, that it's not true. I do have to wonder, though. Assuming the estimated length of the script was around 4 or 5 hours or ...

Re: It is, apparently, a crime to commit blasphemy...
It defines blasphemy as "publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters sacred by any religion, thereby intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number of adherents of that religion, with some defences permitted". I don't think they're g...

Re: Paranormal Activity
As will the ending of Paranormal Activity , though not because it was good. Spoiler warning: the movie ends with somebody flying into the camera butt first. I know I couldn't have been the only guy that burst out laughing at that. :grinp: That was the "theatrical" ending (the one the prod...

Re: Situation Report??
To be clear, I'm not necessarily saying old threads should be deleted. I much prefer archival so people can look back and see how things were and how they've changed (or not changed). However, I just don't like the idea of making new people (or old people that want to discuss again) go through and b...

Re: Gaming Industry Unfair to Werewolves ?
See, the problem is that these angry buttholes who refuse to play anything furry, anime or otherwise "gay" in any way, shape or form are also the people that made FPSs like Counterstrike and Halo so successful. Most gamers probably don't care if the game has potentially furry aspects or n...

Re: Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Heart of Gaia (mouthful!) Clips!
I can forgive the in game graphics but the FMVs are nowhere near the quality that Squaresoft was producing during that same period of time. To be fair, Squaresoft (and Japan in general) has produced some of the best when it comes to quality CGI. I don't think it's valid to compare them like that. :...

Re: Gaming Industry Unfair to Werewolves ?
Besides the fan base you have to please, you also have to worry about idiotic people who will somehow label it something that isn't such as a furry game. I think people just need to ignore them.

Re: The Werewolf's Guide to Life, a Manuel for the newly bitten.
I found the book enjoyable. My only real complaint, other than it having an end, is that the section on Fur Chasers was kinda lack luster. Basically it was just the typical "fur chasers are socially inept crazies who are going to get themselves killed when they finally find a werewolf in his wi...

Re: World of Warcraft... playable werewolves?!
There are already Worgen in the game who are basically monsters. I'm pretty sure the cursed population of this nation retreated into isolation and hid themselves behind a giant wall, so they're still cursed and are werewolves, but they haven't been fully corrupted yet and can still maintain their h...

Re: They arrest people for the dumbest reasons
How do you fail to see it? It seems pretty simple and linear to me. Microsoft spends $100 to manufacture an XBox. Microsoft sells an XBox for $150 to someone who wants to play XBox games. In fact, Microsoft forecasts a certain number of people to buy their console, and bases part of their business ...

Re: They arrest people for the dumbest reasons
Copyright law has provisions allowing you to make a reasonable number of backups for the media you own, if you can reasonably assume it will be damaged. And as CDs/DVDs are flimsy plastic, there really isn't any question on that. You can't even make one copy of a movie DVD because there is copy pro...

Re: A complete new idea for me.
The Ginger Snaps trilogy worked with the 'slow to change, and no going back' angle. Quite interesting, even if the concept does tend to cut off potential sequels.

Re: Several questions about werewolves.
So, if the rest of the characters in the story are accustomed to seeing werewolves, that makes the werewolf less fantastic? No, that's not what I mean. It's not how the world reacts to the werewolf, but how the story focuses on the werewolf. A werewolf popping out in an otherwise mundane world will...

Re: Several questions about werewolves.
I think what Chris is talking about is the kind of watering-down that we see in modern fantasy. Where legends that once inspired awe become mundane or day-to-day. Right. With a werewolf story, it would be beneficial, IMO, for the werewolves to be awe inspiring, instead of just adding to an already ...

Re: Several questions about werewolves.
From a story-writing perspective, to me, adding in more shapeshifters and other things that go bump in the night, it ultimately detracts from the overall presence of werewolves.. and out of the list, werewolves are among my favorites.

If there are werewolves, why not other shapeshifters, such as weretigers, or even a wereape(bigfoot/ hairy Hulk all the way)?

Re: How could you tell someone is a werewolf?
In my mind, I like to see it as coming from the person themselves. It's not really the werewolf that has a rage, but the person, and something mostly subconscious. Some people can be quite territorial, for instance, but suppress that for various reasons (being timid/weak, societal pressures, etc). P...

I picked 5, though it would really be somewhere between 4 and 5. My interested with werewolves actually started when I saw Teen Wolf ( :P ). It was something about the transformation scene that really latched on to me.. the forced change that he had to do with the whole "wtf's happening??"...
