Just throwing it out there. I'm not primarily a roleplayer. Aside from what the game hands me directly and explicitly, all I have as to who or what my character is are vague and abstract ideas and concepts.

Playing Jade Empire, I was too busy being annoyed by Gao the Lesser as a character to take note of Nathan Fillion's voice acting.

"Depression is like being forced to wear a cloak made of lead. You don't get to choose when to put it on and take it off. It is a second skin which gradually seeps into your own, real skin and poisons it until you are a walking, toxic, corrosive bundle of infectious awfulness."

I actually did check, after I posted the status. It's why I added the comment. It's only colloquially that "terrific" has a use that isn't negative. "Terrific" in the colloquial sense was originally used to mean "terrifyingly great," or similar enforcements. So it makes more sense that I expected.
