Cool Little-Known Things

Are locally relevant things being discussed elsewhere? Liveblogs, fic recs, trope edits? Alternately, direct your fellow fans to things that are not Alicorn-related at all.

You know, I am strongly considering letting this brew for a while, the whole suspense/mystery will get annoying if they dont tell what happened in goddamn convention.
Sorry for my bad english

OneRepublic has a song that keeps reminding me of Effulgence help I can't unhear it

Oh wow I'd never thought of that song applying to Effulgence before, but now I can't unsee it. There are certain parts that are really, really perfect. Thank you for your song-related insights.

Also, may I introduce you to the Songs For Characters thread? http://alicorn.elcenia.com/board/viewto ... f=10&t=210 It is possibly my favorite thread on this forum and I am of the opinion that people should post in it more often.

It was Reset, which seems like an excellent use of the format.

I can try to give twine game recommendations tailored to more specific preferences, but I haven't actually played *that* many so it might just be easier to list my favorites:

Reset
Player 2
With Those We Love Alive
High End Customizable Sauna Experience
queer trans mentally ill power fantasy

also, howling dogs is supposed to be really good but i haven't actually gotten around to playing it yet

I bought the Princess Tutu DVD after seeing the first 26 episodes here: http://www.hulu.com/grid/princess-tutu? ... pe=episode This is the story I've been looking for all my life, ever since I watched the opening of the Lucasarts game LOOM: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... +lucasarts The game couldn't match the awesomeness of its opening sequence, and neither did Tchaikovsky's original ballet. I also thought the jewel shards were a great motif in Inuyasha, but the actual story was disappointing as a fairytale. Not Princess Tutu though. Thanks for not letting me be put off by the name.

I thought LOOM was great! What did its opening sequence make you hope for? I recently downloaded all of Princess Tutu, but I haven't managed to watch it yet. Maybe further rec will help!
