Coop, you feeling better?

And ya, I think I am dropping out of that freeworld thing. Sorry, it is just that I can never keep on top of it, and D&D doesnt seem to be my thing.

I'm feeling better and I'll come up with a draft of the final piece tomorrow. Should post tomorrow night

Nah, Star Trek kind of sucks, Voyager was the only good series. I derive 95% of my sci-fi knowledge from Star Wars and AvP, now there's a subject I know far too much about for my own good.

Theres more than one series? : P

I have seen all the Star Wars, but back when your thread was up, I had only seen the first (or 4th - whatever)... so, I guess now I would be a little more prepared.

And AvP i can assume is Alien vs. Predator?

Yup, although the books as opposed to the movie.

Ya, after I said that, I looked it up. See, I always thought that canadian guy was the star trek captain, and then the guy from the movies just took the canadians place... now I know, that it was two different series'. : )

Yup, although the books as opposed to the movie.

Cool. I didnt know there was any books. Man, I am so out of the sci-fi loop.

Speaking of books, I'm at something of an impasse on what to read next.
I have a choice of either some Star Wars, the latest trilogy advancing the plot of the expanded universe, or some more Stephen King.
You see I've been reading King's Dark Tower for a while now, I'm up to the sixth book out of seven, and I really feel like a break from this epic. The problem is that book five of the saga leaves the reader with a cliffhanger ending, so do I progress on with the Dark Tower to find out what happens, or go with some Star Wars for a little while?

Also out of interest, what is everyone else reading at the moment?

Well, if the cliff hanger isn't eating at your brai ntoo much, then worry about it later and move on to the Star Wars books. : )

The Turn of the Screw, and The Scarlett Letter (both for english)

I'm supposed to be the most serious user that exists within Newgrounds.

Doctor, I just discovered something terrible. Passive verbs in Japanese are totally different to that of English. You see, because the typical sentence is structured out as so:

Subject _ Direct Obect _ Verb.

Passive verbs have a totally different setting in Japanese and I would assume that causative passive have a different situation for existance as well.

Oh well, thanks for your help. At least I have understood how to use them in English, which might better help me write and achieve great things. ;)

I'll lurk around here. It's warm in here and I like that.

By the way, how many of you in here have been thinking of or will write a Newgrounds story?

Atleast I am currently working on one called "Newgrounds: the Myth".

I did a couple of NG-themed ones for DirtySyko's writing comp before it died.
Other than that I don't currently have any plans.

I haven't written a newgrounds story so to speak but I did have a go at writing an NG parody of the wizard of Oz...I really should get round to finishing that at some point.

Yeah, I hate it when you stop writing or working on something great because you get sick of it.

I made an entire "Lord of the Rings" parody before on my friend's computer which I lost when it crashed. =(

It doesn't have to be a parody. Mine ain't.

I'd want to come up with something thats higher than the average one... Not all of them are all that entertaining... and some are just downright copies of another work already out there with name substitutions... but meh... maybe someday

Yeah, I find most of them very boring, that's why I'm writing my own to show them that they can be good.

Ouch. That's some really bad luck there.

I think I'm going to try my hand at completing that Oz Parody of mine...hell it'll give me soemthing to do over the week. NO school to go to and I have jack all to do. Joy :-)

Tell me about it. =/

It was accurate too, each line that exsists in the book was parody:ed (Haha), everything. =/

I came to the middle of the first book, even so, it was alot of work and must have taken me a week or something.

It had the same paragraphs as the real book too and everything. A pure comedy too. Oh, well.

Nah, I would never do that.

I did everything of it in my mind once, then I wrote it. To then do it again would be like doing it a fourth time.

I can understand why you wouldn't want to write it again if you planned everything out in your head before you even wrote anything down.

Yup. Buts that's how it is with most things I do. I get the idea while I'm sleeping, I make everything.

Then when I wake up, I start doing it for real. =P

Great, I thought. Never a moment's peace. There was a set of footsteps approaching. Here I stood again, looking at a potentially life-threatening situation, with no place to run or hide. I waited, frantically looking around for something to help me out of my predicament.

Having rooted through various storage boxes and lockers around the room, I plunged my hands into the jacket hung on the back of the door. Paydirt, as I grabbed the handle of a fair sized gun from within the pocket. I listened again, but the footfalls were getting fainter. I breathed out, my heart rate slowing slightly and my brainpower being diverted to areas of pain. I nearly collapsed.

I pulled the gun from the jacket and something fell out of the pocket. Quickly, I stashed the gun in my own pocket and picked up what looked like a data-card. I hobbled over to the console and inserted it in the waiting hole. A window opened and a message processed itself onto the screen:

"Roberto,

I am sorry for the deceit, the lies and the treachery. They have all been nessesary evils. You are in a bad state and need fixing up. The attached file is a map. Follow the bluebird and you will find all you need to get working again.

You will find me eventually, I promise you.

E."

A map flashed up on the screen, indicating where I should go along the corridors of the sewer system with a blue line. I really had no choice but to go there. If I didn't, I'd die for sure.

I left the room, passing the guy I'd killed. I felt sorry for his death, but not guilty. I made my way through the sewers almost to the end of the road, when I noticed this junction had a large inlet pipe, pouring gallons of water in every second. The pool below looked deep and I needed to head straight across the crossroads. There was no ladder down, so my only option was to jump.

I did not jump, so much as topple into the deep, fetid pool. Using my good leg and both of my arms, I managed to half-wade, half-swim across to the other side. The pain was excruciating, but I made it. I staggered down the last few yards of corridor and opened a service hatch into a room, where three people stood. That was the last thing I saw, as I passed out.

'Uh... What happened? Where am I?'

'Why don't you rest a while, you are still drowsy from the drugs.' There was a dim light in the room from over in the corner, where someone was working at a bench.

'Drugs?'

'We needed to keep you in a coma for several days, to prevent you dying, Roberto.'

'What did you do to me?'

'I saved your life. I fixed you.' A spry little man with a white goatee and a receeding hairline peered over me, grinning.

'Is there any chance you could do something about my leg? It's killing me!'

'What, that's hurting? We may need to take it off as well then.'

'AS WELL?! What the hell else did you cut off?!' My eyes widened and I nearly fell off the bed.

'Well, you lost a lot of blood from the rip in your thigh. It wasn't healing, so we had to... replace it.' I glanced down the bed at the blanket covering me. I twitched the blanket to one side and there I was, one leg of flesh and bone, the other mechanical from mid-thigh down to the floor. The toes wiggled and I was dumbfounded. I could control this leg, as if it were my own...
