Testing Chat V: The Final Mysterious Island: Miami Beach

[Infinity Biscuit]

one thing I find interesting is that the single best moment the show had, I felt, was in season 2

when kirito uses illusion magic for the first time to "transform" into a monster he'd fought and killed in the last game, one who killed friends of his before his very eyes, to "kill" players in this new game, and he revels in it

it's too bad the show really dropped the ball with explorations of the effect of the experience on players such that scenes like that can be counted on, well, one finger, really. because I felt the way they DID play the setting (as opposed to a more MMOish way) was good in potential but they never explored that, either

[F.J. Prefect, Esq]

Instead the story might as well have been set in a "real" fantasy world for all the effect being in a game had on the show.

I hate to be all 'well that was the point' but like

Kayaba Akihiko's whole motivation relates to this

Been a while since I watched those so i'm not certain what you're referencing.

[Infinity Biscuit]

the title of ep 16 was

the body

[Darksi4190]

oooh. That.

[Gands]

Yeah, that's the one episode I've never been able to rewatch.

[Stofsk]

It's very real. It's the hardest hour of television you're ever likely to watch.

[Infinity Biscuit]

Yeah, that's the one episode I've never been able to rewatch.

I actually kind of am interested in doing so myself, since it has amazing direction and symbolism (at least I think; I'd wanna watch to pay more attention)

but my best friend died from cancer a couple years ago and all I ever got was a phone call about it, so I was feeling for dawn a bit too heavy and may have cried for like half an hour after the episode was over

so on the other hand I don't think I want to revisit it so clinically or anything too

[evilsoup]

is that the monkey paw episode?

[Galvanized]

It's the one where

the mother dies of a brain aneurysm

So back at the end of high school some friends and I made a detective show pilot. Networks decided not to pick it up.

Fair go Ford it was a long time ago

[evilsoup]

I wish I'd seen this yesterday, then I could have told everyone 'happy regicide day'.
oh well, next year maybe

[Dooey Jo]

hooray, self-styled anti capitalist anarchists glorifying violence, fucking everyone over except their own egos and helping the status quo stay in place

[evilsoup]

I wonder if we'll have Lee Harvey Oswald masks in three hundred years time like we have Guy Fawkes masks today

[RogueIce]

Dammit soup it was the CIA and Oswald was just a fall guy. Don't you know anything about history?

[evilsoup]

just like guy fawkes was the fall guy for the damnable French

[adr]

the jfk assassination was a false flag perpetuated by anarchists with the cooperating and active involvement of fidel castro, to frame the cia and federal reserve in an attempt to trick them into opportunistically seizing even more power

such that the masses would see the violence inherent in the system and rise up in glorious revolution with a young ron paul as their prophet

you'll never hear about this in the lamestream media

which means it has to be true

[F.J. Prefect, Esq]

Fair go Ford it was a long time ago

It is amazing

[Dooey Jo]

many people have pointed out the similarities between the kennedy administration and the reagan administration

what they don't know is the reason

it wasn't kennedy that was shot that day in dallas

it was an actor


actor ronald w. reagan

[evilsoup]

dooey jo you have just blown my mind

[Gands]

So back at the end of high school some friends and I made a detective show pilot. Networks decided not to pick it up.

I demand to see more.

[timmy]

Sadly, that's all I've got.
