(no subject)
I have realized that I am really in no way excited for NYCC. It probably doesn't help that I have ZERO money to spend while there and my favorite part of the con is far and away getting to pick up odd indie comics that I wouldn't normally run across. I like being able to support other artists and hopefully get a good read out of it to boot. In terms of panels and stuff? I could not care less. Gonna try to make the Venture Bros. panel tomorrow and other than that? ...Meh.
Definitely looking forward to getting to hang out with Em and Andrew (who I suppose I should stop calling George at this point since it's...not actually his first name) but even that is gonna be awkward due to scheduling issues. Which is sad because they're STAYING AT MY HOUSE. I just...have to go lug around giant set pieces. Bugger.
In other news, I'm co-modding a very casual TF2 RP with some friends and we got the most HILARIOUS application today. It has EVERYTHING.
- It's a Scout (of course)
- He has violet eyes (it specifically mentions that no one else in his family has them)
- His father RAPED HIM for no apparent reason beyond being a stereotypical abusive bastard
- He beat his father to death and suffered no consequences beyond people looking at him funny - apparently the cops don't give a shit in Brooklyn because he was never even arrested for it
- The game is set in 2010, but the app is obvious copy pasta from other TF2 game because he's listed as being born in 1948
- And then this, quoted directly because I can't pick just one:
"Trivia
He is claustraphobic and haphephobic [dislikes being touched]
He likes music and can't sleep without it
He likes to dance
He is a contortionist
He secretly likes to cross dress
He knows Italian
He likes to draw
He is a masochist
He likes horror stories [mostly Lovecraftian stories]
He suffers from night terrors and PTSD"
I can't stop laughing at this thing and I'm almost sure that we're being trolled except I think this person is from y!gallery, so it's entirely possible that they are completely serious.
Also, this person didn't even apply in the format that we asked for and I'm not sure if they even READ the ad because they obviously have no idea about the setting.
We replied back in character that we were very concerned over the fact that he was born in 1948 and was supposedly still 20. The next step is to express concern about his employee file, which appears to have been falsified or exaggerated. ...The step after that might be open laughter, I'm not sure. Or just letting them into the game and watching the train wreck unfold. The urge to troll my own game is almost overwhelming.
Also I really need to go to bed, how am I not tired at all?
