...I've decided to gank something from fandom_memes. :)

FANDOM CONVERSION MEME!

Post the name of one of your fandoms (TV show, movie, book series, musician, whatever). People in that fandom can respond with reasons why it's awesome. For instance, if someone (and by "someone", I mean me, obviously) posts "LOST", LOST fans can reply to that comment saying, "It has awesome characters," or "YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH IT 'COS SAWYER IS HOT". There's no limit to how many comments you can make in one thread. You can post funny screencaps, quotes, links to fic, whatever. Just give any reason why people should join the fandom.

However, if you're not in that fandom (again, we'll use LOST as an example), you can ask questions about it. "What's the Dharma Initiative?" "Doesn't that show have a hobbit in it?" "What's up with that polar bear?" Fans can respond to those questions as seriously or funny as they want to be. This is really a meme to encourage people to support their fandom and bring more fans to it. Try not to post a fandom name twice, because long threads are awesome.

As always, remember to pimp, participate, and do other things that start with a "P".

-- I understand the appeal of this story --- but I rarely have half an hour to myself and must ask: can anything be accomplished in half an hour increments in a game? Most gamers I've observed have quite a lot of free time to play.

Permission to say I love your icon, BTW? :)

And yeah...I think it's possible. With self-discipline. :)

I'm thinking that if other players are involved, like online *is unsure of terminology* they'd lose patience, as they have things going on at their end, too.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it -- iconmaking, such darn fun --

You're very welcome! :D #Adores icon making as well. ^__^

I don't have that much free time myself. I'm away at least 10-12+ hours a day from my home for work alone, and that doesn't include the time needed for chores, etc, taking care of my kid.

We first played the games in the evening after a long commute and doing stuff, and often it's multitasking, such as cooking and doing stuff on the computer while playing the game. So I do tend to play it in short increments.

Thanks for the input -- I'm glad to see a different way that one can be played --

You're welcome!

For the sake of story, I find it better to take the game slowly to absorb it. I don't understand people who want to race through the game to see how fast they can beat it.

Hmm, my gaming experience is pretty much limited to a/playing MarioKart and a bit of Animal Crossings (? title) and b/watching others play Halo and some battle games. I did enjoy going to our local peewee golf course and arcade and playing Marvel Capcom games. It was fun to be Ryu or Dharma (?) the guy with the long arms. I think I like standing up stuff better than sitting down stuff; maybe a game could be fastened to a stationary exercise bike, ha!

First off, that icon's win. Seriously. :3

And all I can say about the game-being-fastened-to-a-stationary-exercise-bike is...I really like that idea. Oh yes. :)

Hey, that's an idea! There's some company that's already put a gameboy on a sewing machine.

I don't think it did very well, though...

But the exercise bike should work because it's not like you're trying to focus on anything else!

A gameboy on a sewing machine?

Amused Padme is amused, to say the least. ^__^ #Doing it wrong, guys. XD
