Theme events

[stacer]

Yeah, you can't always get everyone, no big deal.

[Spriggan]

Well I like to come up with things that lots of people have an intrest in that's why we discuss possible theme's on the boards.  It's allwayse good to know what people like and don't like.

I think cyberpunk is a good idea, now that I have a better grasp of what is meant by the term.

[JP Dogberry]

If you choose Cyberpunk, you will get about 20 articles form me most likely. I'm a huge fan of the genre/movement. I could even write an article about the movement itself, I have a clue.

Actually, I have holidays soon, so now would be a good time to do it. I;'ll have time to write everything I want.

I've already reviewed Neuromancer.
But I could do: Schismatrix (But I'll let Entropy, sicne he wants to) Snow Crash, I already did distraction, Software, Maybe transmetropolitan (If you want to allow comic reviews, since this rules). I should have the cp2020 rpg by then. I also know a few cool free RPGs with the theme.

In the realm of VG, Deus Ex is old news, but I might be able to dig up something more modern. Big Maybe though.

Have we reviewed Blade Runner? Akira? The very post-cyberpunk Lain? I'm sure we have Matrix reviews we can look back on.

And that's off the top of my head. CD review of Billy Idol's Cyberpunk, maybe.

PLus I can pull out a lot of non-reviewage myself.

Feel free to choose Cyberpunk is you want to overwork me and make up for my lack of articles for WW2, basically.

BTW, anyone not quite sure of the term, I'd recommend the alt.cyberpunk faq. Then read some of alt.cyberpunk.chatsubo to keep up with the latest on the post-cyberpunk movement.

I suggest, not for a TWG theme, but for a Forum theme that June 11th (Sprig's birthday) be named the first official "TWG Spriggan Spelling Day."  

That's a week from Friday, folks.  Start honing your powers of miss-spelling!  Posts without at least one blatant spelling error will be mocked relentlessly!

[Spriggan]

About all I could do for Cyberpunk is a reveiw of the Animatrix and how dissapointing it was.  There were a few realy good shorts mixed in with a LOT of crap.

[JP Dogberry]

I like the Animatrix. A lot. But that's just me.

[Entsuropi]

I'll do Schismatrix plus, review my GURPS books with cyberpunk applicable gear in them. I'll see if i can think of anything else in the meantime.

[Spriggan]

Well as so not to overburden us all, and so we can do another cyberpunk day sometime lets max of two articles a person?  I guess if we got 10-12 articles we could do a cyberpunk week.

[Entsuropi]

I say we set the date for submission a bit early, and then see how many we get. If we get tons, make it a week. If we get a few, make it a day.

[Spriggan]

well for now lets say we have 5 articles.  1 from me, 2 from you and 2 from JP (he said he'd do more, but he's like us and is lazy so I'm only expecting 2).  And lets see what others think of this topic.  4-5 articles is good for a "day" event (which we have people willing to do), and if we get more people intrested in doing articles then we'll know if a week is a possibility.  If it's just us three then lets just stick to the 5 articles.

[Entsuropi]

Yes, oh grand and unfailable master.

[Spriggan]

heh, well the reason I said that is becasue I know that if it was left to me, you and JP to come up with 12 articles (10-11 of them between you two) then it would probaly not get done.  We're all too lazy.

[JP Dogberry]

I'm lazy, but this is punk. punk excites me and makes me chitter like a portugese Rhino-sloth-cockroach-Monkey.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

we've heard of your cross breeding experiments, and we condemn them.

My only contribution would be to gripe about a lot of cyberpunk. Oh, and I'll post the articles as normal. If you have five, I won't try wrangling anymore. There are plenty of old articles. I won't however, refer to more old articles than new ones.
