I thought Nick and Ellis were both pretty good, and Coach was OK but not nearly as cool and memorable as Bill was. The original survivors in the first game were definitely overall better. (I'm just glad that the PC version comes with all of the old missions in L4D2 so I can play with the new infected/guns/etc with the old survivors!)

I think they did a better job of having a sense of continuity and a stronger, more interesting setting in the second game, though.

NO!

Listen, Slytherins are defined by their ability to dedicate themselves to a single goal and pursue it while letting other concerns (typically morals) fall by the wayside. They are conniving and cunning in working to "achieve their ends."

What defines you and any Syltherin as a good/bad person is WHAT they choose to pursue as their goals! If your goal is "conquer the wizarding world and kill all the mudboolds" and the things you are willing to leave by the wayside are human lives, than you are a bad person.

BUT if your goal is to better the world and yourself and the things you choose to leave by the wayside are monetary compensation for those goals? GOOD FOR YOU. You are channeling your personality towards the greater good. I can't imagine a better use of your talents or your time.

All that said, it's a Pottermore test. You have no obligation to take it seriously.

Talk to people I have things in common with. If we hit it off, I friend them. If we continue to hit it off, we become friends over time.

My first thought too!

use pennies

cheaper and it's something she sees every day and has to count with in the future

I met all the people on my friendslist (minus maybe two or three people) on Friending memes. That can be a really pleasant way to meet people- just make sure you add them because you actually think you'd like to talk with them, not just for the sake of adding someone.

I hope for your sake that you enjoy it, but I can't imagine that Clara's era is going to be any better than Amy and Rory's. It's still under Moffat, after all.

OMG. I literally just read this fic on Skyhawke, and I can't find it now. This is driving me batty.

The basic plot is that after the war, Harry leaves, and in his absence, the Ministry has cracked down on Slytherins. Snape is basically starving and barely running a potions shop while trying to help his former students. Harry swoops back in and gives the Ministry what for.

I had briefly thought of a learning disability although not specifically dyscalculia. I don't know whether she can tell time or not, but I see her tomorrow, so I can find out then. Thanks for the url.

sorry ;)

Hugging and cuddling. Huge.

And good fathers. I will climb through sewers of molten shit to get fic or art with caring, active, and emotionally there fathers/father-figures. Also good mothers, but not to the same extent.

Ooooh, I like that, and I can totally see it. I think I've recently read a story where he was Slytherin actually.

What house was Dumbledore in? Does it ever say? Cause he's a Slytherin if ever one slithered. LOL

I haven't checked back in a while, but I always thought he was a funny douche.

That's the problem with Chibnall though--he writes enjoyable filler episodes, but they've got no meat on their bones. As soon as you try to hand him something more ambitious, you get The Hungry Earth/Cold Blood.

I kind of wish Paul Cornell would come back and be showrunner after Moffat, but of the current crop of regular episode writers, I don't think anyone except maybe Toby Whithouse could handle it.

Yeah, I said above that I'll buy a bag of buttons or something. Thanks for the suggestion.

This is interesting though because despite RTD focusing more on the companions, his Doctors were still so much more fleshed out than Eleven is. And definitely more consistent.

In my experience, making friends requires some sort of personal interaction beyond just commenting on each other's fics or talking about fandom/shipping. That sort of interaction can be a good icebreaker, and give you common ground, but the few actual friends I've made have been people whom I've hit it off with. We ended up having conversations (fannish or otherwise) and talking very easily. That's something that won't happen with everyone.

That said, I also think that it helps to generally be sociable and approach people. And I'm not that sociable, which may be partly why it's difficult for me to get to know people.

Please stop acting shocked when an overweight or 'unattractive' person ends up having a very nice singing voice. Vocal ability has nothing to do with physical appearance. It's just gotten old at this point.

Well yeah. I think that's because RTD is just a better character writer than Moffat.

You sound like a decent person who's putting a LITTLE too much stock in a concocted test for a fictional world.

(If you really want to have a measure of your personality, take the Myers-Briggs or the Keirsey-Bates or something like that.)

"Saved people from suicide"
How many times did you do this? I can believe everything else, but this sounds like an exaggeration.
Probably, because I've been suicidal myself and even though I had a lot of support from friends and family, in the end it took MYSELF to save MYSELF.
I'm just not cool with people claiming to have "saved" a suicidal person like they pulled them from the train tracks or something like that.

In case you really pulled someone from the train tracks or did something similar - kudos. But calling yourself the savior of a suicidal person when you've NOT literally saved them from harming themselves really sounds like something a Slytherin would do :P

Also, a fiend of mine had two Pottermore accs and did the test with the same answers for both accs and guess what? They got sorted into different houses. Badaboom.

Because somebody had to do it. And while I was depressed as fuck that it sold terribly at first, word of mouth seems to be picking up and - like Metro 2033 and Demon's Souls - it's having quite the second wind sales' wise. The local EB is begging for copies. But nope! They can't have mine.

Listen to or read the developer interviews, and you'll find they did it because they didn't want to make the same generic tactical shooter that had been the bread and butter of the Spec Ops franchise for like the twelfth time. (Also, Heart of Darkness - though to be honest, and I say this as a fan of the book, I agree with one critic's review that Spec Ops: The Line is actually a more powerful treatment of that material. Certainly for the modern era, at least.)

Also in said interviews the developers wonder, the same way you have, how this hasn't been done before. They're as surprised as anyone. I guess most game developers feel that gamers really don't want to think, but that just isn't true. We do. And the average gamer is now thirty five - you'd think they'd figure out that adolescent power fantasies might not be cutting it anymore.

F!s, what are your favorite plot twists in your canons? You know, those amazing moments that make your jaws hit the floor and stay there.

(Inspired by the fact that I just started playing 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors. One ending in and I'm so confused and yet so intrigued.)

I think I've read this one before but I can't remember it. It has to be one of the classics why can't I remember it?

Check your browsing history?

Yeah, someone else suggested that. I will bring it up with her mom tomorrow.
