Quirks

[Shane Sanders]

I have issues about HAVING to have the captions on the TV and during movies and what not. I absolutely just cannot comprehend anything if I'm listening and watching. I guess its my ADD or maybe I just have selective hearing--I dunno. I have to read the shit while I'm watching it. You'd be surprised what you actually DON'T hear in movies by reading closed caption. Then of course it does fuck up at times or they change the way something is say--bleeps are put--it has draw backs don't get me wrong.

(Especially if it's stand up--you know the punchline before it happens.)

But I guess it's because I have a thing about my Japanese anime and video games being in its native language--therefore I HAVE to read text on regular basis to enjoy anything I'm watching or playing? I dunno--lol it actually helped me learn to read faster.

Les Pactes des Loup

see, i knew there was a reason why i loved you.  between that and Libertine, well, are you up for a civil union?   

i too have to watch with closed captioning.  i chalk it to half being hard of hearing and half because... that's how i learn... like in school a lecture did me almost no good, just gimme the damn chapter to read already.

[RingOtaku]

I only care about subtitles when it's anime with completely assfucked the studio should be ashamed of themselves butchered translation. Or a foreign film since I wouldn't understand the audio anyway. But I almost never watch those.

I learn by giving a crap. Which rarely happened in school.

Bad retail jokes.

"No price tag on it?  MUST BE FREE HUURRRRRF DUUURRRRRFFF"
"Is this your...*Puts Caruso shades on*...BEST BUY?!  HAAAAHUFOEFLEHGEKAJGH"

I think I should be able to charge you MORE for making these horrible jokes, and I hope you choke on your 360 controller.

Civil union sounds great.    lol.  I hated lectures, never learned a damn thing unless I read the book first.

Not so much a quirk but some of the various "things" that kept me from enjoying efeds as the writer in me was driven insane by it: Lazy show writing causing lack of continuity. An example

WWE has Cena wrestle some super gimmick high violence match on PPV. He does massive spots and "goes to the limit". Next night on RAW Cena shows up limping and if he does wrestle moves slower and sells the injuries during the match. Yes he still wins but they make a point of it was a harder victory to nab. GOOD

Efed PPV has a guy in some super over the top gimmick would kill someone in real life even being "scripted rasslin" match that lasts eight pages of description and has the guy taken off in an ambulance even as the winner. Guy shows up for a regular card a couple days later not only being super fine and showing no signs of pain or lingering injury in the player-written segs but the staff written results have him fighting fit as a fiddle with no wear and tear. BAD

In short continuity and editing are our friends and fed heads that won't tweak a seg or think through a match are bad.

Not so much a quirk but one of the various "things" that kept me from enjoying efeds as a visualist...

Silly images without a flesh and blood person to referance. An example:

[Jackson]

I agree with your sentiments, Dave. I always try and sell whatever's happened with Jax in feds. Case and point being Jax wrestling hurt, or even with a cast on his arm in HiWF. That's why our schedule is "relaxed" in character, to allow our fighters time to recover from most of their injuries before they're brawling again.

if they drew it as a representation of their character?  i'm game.

if they took an animated character up as their pb, just about any scene or match they're in feels like a missing reel from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

also, Sephiroth is one of the most annoyingly overused pbs of all times in my countdown.

another efedding pet peeve: every time this writer hears the newest released nu-metal single, they change their theme to that.  despite how it's on a couple dozen movie trailers and radio rotation.  or, they steal someone real and mainstream's current or longterm well known past theme.  if you're not playing randy orton in a canon fed, then don't steal his fucking theme, i don't care how much you like him.

people not selling injuries from show to show's a big annoyance of mine.  or people who show up that nobody in the fed's ever heard of, and they ABSOLUTELY EXPECT you to sell them and put them over as a legend.  or, people who commit crimes on camera.  or, feds who have an everything-written-is-automatically-on-camera rule.

feds who have an everything-written-is-automatically-on-camera rule.

QFT. That's why I left WfWA. After they told me that my whole "rape" angle was written in a rp so it was common knowledge even though it was off cam. Yeah. Fuck them for being retarded.

those bath poof things unnerve me.  i'll remove my roommate's from the stall by the string-thingie before i take a shower just so i don't accidentally bump into it.  it's creepy.  why would i wanna rub something all over my body that looks like a furby?  washcloth for me.

oh, i'm also afraid of John Ritter.  and i'm so not joking.  he just really, really creeps me out.  that smile with the glassy eyes and his big white chicklet teeth... *shudder*  i can't watch anything with him in it.  i can't even sit in the same room while it's on, even if i'm doing something else.
