For anyone interested in a “rabbit hole” of a possible new alternate reality game that JC Hutchins found, check this out. I know some of you are clever/obsessive enough to be interested in this kind of a game, but I don’t have any ideas of where to go with the information given so far.
Kotaku must be the best blog that everyone doesn’t already read (IE: not BoingBoing) since I feel an overwhelming need to link to them every day. They had an interesting post up today about adult content in video games versus the Bible:
Bruce Everiss, an industry vet who’s worked at companies like Imagine and Codemasters, feels that games are being judged for content in a much harsher manner than other media. So he picked a comparison text at what we’re sure was completely random (the Bible) and scanned it for adult content.
The best part, though, is what happens in the comments:
The difference of course is that Bruce is comparing a work of fiction to the historically accurate Mario.
Also, I really wanted a picture of Mario on the cross to go with this post, but I couldn’t find one. Think the internet (anonymous or otherwise) could deliver that? Kthx.
Alright, so here’s a question for the story I’m working on. Assume a girl a little taller than me but a bit skinnier (say, 5′7, 120 pounds) is cut along the inside of her forearm, elbow to wrist. It’s not a deep cut (she wasn’t trying to kill herself), just enough to make it bleed and probably scar. Assume it’s being done with a sharp knife and it’s a clean cut.
What would the effects be? I’m guessing she’d pass out at first, but probably more because she’s freaked out by the sight of blood than anything else. Aside from that– how much blood would she probably lose? How long before she could do anything athletic again? How long would it take to scab over and to scar? How would it impair her using that arm– would she be able to write with it? How long until she would be able to fight with it?
Thanks in advance for any answers
