Thinking about a name change because using my name as my forum name is kinda unimaginative and people keep on thinking it's for the Pokemon character. xD

 

[kuzronk]

I use the Default theme.

Why wait?

 

[Corrin]

I like flairs so I use the new beta

 

[pkmin3033]

Why wait?

Trying to decide what to change to tbh. Don't really feel like going back to Meyneth or Zeria.

Trying to resist asking for Bowsette

 

[Enpatsu Shakugan]

Why resist? Sounds like you already have your mind made up already. Why doubt it?

It's not like it's any worse than Dawn to you, nor will you be stuck with it if it turns out to not be the best choice.

 

[pkmin3033]

I like to take my time before I decide on something...and I'm not in any particular hurry.

 

[Pure Essence]

What are your thoughts on horror?

 

[colours]

don't like it for the most part.

i get scared too easily.

 

[Pure Essence]

I'm interested in a horror manga. Looking to get it for my Kindle.

 

[Enpatsu Shakugan]

Horror is only good to me in service of something, like setting or plot, like Berserk.

 

[professor plum]

I don't know any horror mangas, but someone in the Anime & Manga DCC might be able to point you in the right direction :'D

There's a mini harry potter marathon on SyFy rn and I'm disappoint it's only OotP and HBP. I recently listened to the audiobooks narrated by Jim Dale and I'm just seeing how much was chopped. Each movie after PoA should've been split into 2

 

[Sawsbuck]

Oh hi

 

[pkmin3033]

I see horror more as a theme rather than a genre...things that actively *try* to be horror do absolutely nothing for me, but I get elements of horror in things I don't expect all the time...probably because I don't expect them.

 

[Corrin]

I hate horror because more often than not it includes abuse, rape, etc

 

[pkmin3033]

That's part of the problem with it...it's so overdone. You can see it coming and it's not particularly scary, just...unappealing. It's more scary, in my opinion, when you don't see it coming.

 

[colours]

i just really hate zombies and overly gorey stuff in horror; it's gross.

 

[pkmin3033]

I'm OK with gore...to a point. Anything messing with eyes I can't watch. At all. Really it depends on my mood and whether or not I see it coming as to how well I handle gore. If I know it's coming I can take it in stride.

I don't get too much exposure to it these days, though...not outside of Grimm, anyway.

 

[JJ Styles]

Good ole days of VG, i would probably be discussing on how much i love dem Gorey stuff in muh video games, and i still do. As for movies, i pretty much agree with what Dawn says, Gore is nice and all but if its overused, it takes away the "mystique" or the shock factor of the element.

Though to be fair, i remember reading on some Mahvel comics like Siege and seen that panel where The Sentry rips apart some other superhero in half (Ares i think?) was pretty shocking when i first saw it.

 

[moon]

love the splashes!!
