Again, I can't comment on the direction the fed is in, but it seems pretty widely agreed upon that there's no place for the Saxtons and/or Saboteurs, S.H.I.T.s, Barbosas, Alhazreds, or any of the great characters that made it fun to RP in my time in the fed.
I remember how excited Doc and I would be when we got an angle and we'd plan our RPs for the whole cycle, usually culminating in some sort of grand adventure or parody of a famous movie. I don't think the most fun I ever had in the fed was when Doc and I wrote our Star Wars parody.
Can you guys all come back? You guys were the quirky characters that I just loved to read. If you guys were around, a certain character of mine would definitely be in the e-fed right now. I miss all the quirky, out of this world characters. Everyone now is a bit too serious for my liking.
Can you give us your rating of Mad Max, JGlass? Was contemplating watching it but you know, I had to go see Pitch Perfect 2 first
I gotta be honest, I don't even remember who your character was. Isabella something, right?
Mad Max gets a solid 8/10. My big gripe is it takes a looooong time for the movie to get really good. The action starts from the very beginning, and it's fantastic action, and the visuals are good enough to keep your attention, but I'd say the movie didn't hook me until maybe 40 minutes in.
Also, if you're looking for mindless action, keep on looking, because this movie clearly has a message and is a thought provoking endeavor. In my mind it's a movie about a world ruled by the id and a small group of people struggling to restore the ego. Another reading I had is that it's a world where human life has lost all value and humans are viewed as commodities just like the precious supplies the survivors kill each other for.
I really look forward to reading more about this movie as there are a lot of questions I have. For one thing, the world of Mad Max is filled with mutated humans, ranging from a giant man unable to breath without the aid of a pretty nifty oxygen tank, to a chair-bound, morbidly obese dwarf, and the origin/plentifulness of these mutated people isn't really explained.
. I know me and RedSkull weren't feeling the fed like before, and I got a job with stupid hours and had to step away (cruel irony, not long after that I got a better job) but I still get that writing bug as well. Just seems like the e-fed's gone a new direction and left me behind, in many ways, not sure if you guys feels the same. Almost feels like too much emphasis on marginalising your character and creativity for the sake of meeting a bunch of criteria, I don't do well with criteria, makes everything sort of... samey. Fit in or die, hit these bullet points or fail, sort of thing.
