Quote from: Doc Sammy;933461I no longer fear Hell, because I've lived in Roanoke, Virginia for the past nine years.

You mean you're been there all this time and you haven't found the Croatan?!?!?!? What kind of WoD player are you?!?!?!

A new WoD player...

BTW, sucks that you went through that, but when someone says "Do you even lift bro?"  You can show them you lifted so hard you literally blew your guts out.  That's kind of awesome.

Um, you're thinking of Roanoke Island, which is located on the eastern coast of what is now North Carolina.

Roanoke, Virginia is a city in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It's full of rednecks, alt-righters, gangbangers, and washed-up Goth burnouts.

The two locations are different and have no similarities beyond the name.

Ahh I see. It's funny Sammy... I get your raging about being in your particular pond of scum. But everytime you say it, I can't help but feel it sounds like a setting worthy of WoD all on its own. You *ARE* living in personal horror! Embrace it, and you'll truly understand what playing in the earliest days of Vampire was like. Don't try to insert any escapist cartoony shit in there - rednecks, alt-righters, gangbangers and Goth burnouts - that's a recipe for gaming glory, man.

Guess I never looked at it that way. Tell you what, I'll give personal horror a second chance on one condition. Read my multi-crossover crack fic "The New Jersey Project" (linked below in my signature) and tell me what you think of my dark comedy crossover so far. I've posted four chapters out of fifty and I just started writing it yesterday morning.

Be forewarned, it contains a lot of bad language, crude humor, unpopular opinions regarding Joss Whedon and the Nintendo company, and lots of crossovers, a strange meta-narrative that falls apart when you think about it for more than thirty seconds, and other shit that doesn't make sense. But it's a crack fic so it's supposed to be silly.

I need to do some thinking in regards to my stance on personal horror. Maybe I've been looking at it wrong. Darren MacLerran, Martin Ericsson, and the toxic White Wolf fanbase have not helped my perception.

Just think of living life as one of your avatars.

Not sure what that is supposed to mean, but okay. I'll try.

A few days later Doc Sammy was found at the bottom of an isolated dry well, dressed as a Japanese school girl, covered in white dog fur, a broken bow in one hand and an arrow lodged in his eye. The subsequent autopsy indicated he hadn't eaten anything other than a centipede and a pink jawbreaker in several days.

Quote from: tenbones;933489I'd had the hernia for some time it was tiny, but it wasn't until I started getting in shape I really aggravated it. It finally went kablooooey. They had to split me open and re-noodle my guttywuts.

Man, that sucks. (I re-noodle guttywuts for a living.) Here's hoping you're making a full and uncomplicated recovery.

Damn your gonna make him switch avatars.  Still nailed it on the head.

Quote from: tenbones;933489I had a small umbilical hernia. P90X made it a softball sized hernia filled with noodles. Never knew you could squeeze that much intestine through a half-inch hole. As I'm a ball-spiking overachiever, I went for the fucking gold and came up platinum, only I didn't realize I was competing in the event called - "How to overdo it".

In celebration of my survival my brother now has me signed up for a Spartan race next autumn... I might be a dumbass.

Edit: I'm convinced this is part of my real life WoD prelude. <---see? I'm on topic!

OMG, another one! I was on Power 90, the predecessor to P90X. That's how I 'pulled my ass' and blew out my asshole, ending up stuck in the Reclining Buddha pose with the equivalent of a red hot poker in the ass... for four years! Gained everything back and then some. Thankfully I finally waitlisted for indigent surgery after all that time and had the offending perpetually strangled thrombosis removed.

TMI!

I just lost another four years to resultant septisemia and colitis, and now in delicate recovery isolating food irritants as I heal internally. (Read: After full body "lactic acid burning agony" of blood poisoning, I survived to poop my life away for the following four years.) After the 7th bowel movement in a five hour period, I don't care how strong you think you are, you're gonna need a walker to reach your bed and a nap.

But hot damn if that program whips your ass in into shape (if you can survive it).

Anybody here like The New Jersey Project so far?

I need a workout program and I have to say you guys aren't selling me on this one...
