But how people can stand characters who make you go "facepalm" every five minutes escapes me


Because we suck?  Not sure.

Anyway I was just relaying my experience, no worries.  I am sure there are things you like that I do not care for either.

You know, I do think a lot about this, because I want to understand how people think and feel. It's baffling to find these drastic differences. There are other things I can't get into, but most of the time I understand their attraction from a certain point of view I can adopt as an intellectual exercise, even though I don't share it. With "Chuck" I don't even have that.

Hey a shorter season would give Yvonne more time to do Bioware games.

That's what I've been thinking, but didn't dare say because of all you Chuck fans out there.

BTW, I'd like to see Yvonne in a production I actually like - mainly, anything that doesn't involve more than a homeopathic dose of comedy or soap. Is there anything? 


regular tv work is good because you generally have a nice hiatus every year to do other stuff- ME3/DLCs etc. it's also good exposure on US tv for any future projects, though i'd love to see her in a big feature film..

OT, but if one more person pesters me for a sequel to a story I wrote, I'm either going to scream or be forced to write it (and it will be awful because I don't want to write it)

Look Chuck is really similar to me in alot of ways.  We both make inappropriate jokes at innappropriate times, get way too obsessed with the girls we love, use humor to hide our rampant emotions which we wear on our sleeves, have similar hobbies, and are both rather laid back personality wise.  Heck he even lives on witty one liners like me.  But heck the snarky underdog is hardly a new character type.

I love the character.  Casey is a hilarious over the top alpha male, Sarah is a tough action girl with a heart of gold who cannot help but adore Chuck despite herself.

 I am not sure how it is impossible to see since the characters are similar to well accepted archetypes that have been beloved for centuries in tons of stories.

So I find it a little hard to believe you find it completely baffling.

What?  Don't cave to pressure!  You do this for fun, write what you want.

Ah, ignore them. Don't force yourself to write something if you don't want to, you'll be annoyed with yourself forever if you do it and it's below par. :)

Now I've spent too long in this forum again, making for a short night that's already too short because of the blasted Summer Time.



So, good night, everyone. Let's see if I can find a nice Miranda pic for the goodbye.... Ah yes:

Actually, you probably would have. It had a ridiculously hapy ending. But Shep was also a hypocrite who didn't deserve Miranda, so I'm leaving the universe as is.

Sometimes the stories with happy endings are the very ones you do not want sequels to.  Why mess with a good thing?

You guys jumped in there and ninja posted on me.  I had to change it or I just looked silly...that is to say more silly than usual.

Heh, despite how I tend to come off here I'm not a big fan of rediculous fluff and over-the-top lovey dovey stuff. A happy ending =/= stuff that makes me go Image IPB

Pss.. Guys!

To let you know that I was thinking about drawing a fan comic about Shepard and Miranda. About that, It's hard to do it, despite of less free time and classes in the afternoon. So, I managed to draw a rough sketch/panel and willing to show you guys for giving me some feedback. So, there is it.:pinched:

By the way, drawing lips is pretty damn hard.

Any comments and feedbacks will be great.

@ SgtPotato: As soon as I switch computers at work later tonight I'll give you my opinion because right now mine isn't pulling up pictures.
