crossover_chickBit of a lazy Sunday, due to it being gloomy out. I did get myself an ice cream, though, which was nice. And I played Sims -- since I was in a wedding mood lately, Emma Heterobach got married! She and Holden had a Roof-Raiser party. Now I just have to send them off on a vacation for their honeymoon. Incidentally, Emma's now Knowledge/Family, while Holden is Knowledge/Fortune. I also got some experience in this new "networking" thing -- one of the wedding guests asked to give Holden's phone number to Tristan London (lol), as a potential new friend, while another, after a good couple of conversations, improved his reputation. Me likey.
-RPD: Heh. Glad you're having fun.-
I am. :D Though I wish my videos looked a little better. I didn't realize they'd come out so choppy-looking. I'll have to experiment with the settings a bit, perhaps.
Anyway, on to the second part of my post. You see, recently on YouTube, a girl's holding a sort of video collaboration thingy about giving various animated characters superpowers, and weaving a story where most of them are on the run from the government and looking for help from their own kind. I learned of this after seeing a video starring Victor, natch. This, plus my new obsession with Sim Witches (well, RENEWED obsession -- anyone who knew me back in the Sims 1 days would tell you I was into Makin' Magic like NOTHING else) got me to thinking about powers, and the ones we like to give certain types of characters. So -- interactivity time! I give you a list of my three main favorite characters:
Doc Brown, Back To The Future trilogy
Victor Van Dort, Corpse Bride
Alice Liddell, "American McGee's Alice"
I challenge you to give them supernatural powers. I want to see what people come up with. (And I want to see if anyone else comes up with the idea I had of the WORST power you could give poor Alice.) I'll be discussing the results either tomorrow or Tuesday -- please give me something to work with so I don't have to make up my own lists.
