Don't feel like you have to enter for the prize, it's only optional. The main purpose of both giveaways was to learn a little more about peoples tastes, the prizes were just a bit of fun.

That would be beyond cruel! Cleanse your mind with that holy water of yours for even thinking of it. ;-P

You've not been around here long enough to have experienced all the never-ending yearning for the LucasArts titles. Trust me, LucasArts classics being released here is like the dawn of renaissance. :-D

*breaks piggy bank in preparation for tomorrow*

* Steals Hypers pocket money after he broke open his piggy bank and runs off. Leaving him unable to buy any LucasArts classics tomorrow. Mwahahahaahhaha! *

I like how I'm supposed to be a DAEMON, yet it's you exhibiting unfathomable levels of evilness and cruelty, all while hiding behind that pretty and innocent looking lady-avatar. ;-P

Just out of curiosity - do you do this for kicks and laughs or is there an ulterior desire to cause me mental and physical anguish? (◕︵◕)

*steals money back, and hides it in a place she'd never be bold enough to attempt getting it back from ;-P then memorises CC details and just in case never says them out loud*

I am a pretty and innocent lady :-). No true desire to cause any mental or physical anguish, far from it. Just having a bit of fun, normally I wouldn't hurt a fly, let alone steal your hard earned pocket money and prevent you buying some good old games.

Also, who said I'm a demon, I'm just a mischievous fairy :-).

* Gives Hyper a big hug to make up for been a mischievous fairy. *

First off, I was just messing with you (I thought my numerous emoticons made it obvious), I know it's just a bit of fun, so no worries. ;-D

As for the pretty and innocent, while the former is most probably true I have to seriously doubt the latter, if not for any other reason then only for pushing me repeatedly into the pit - do you think I didn't hear you scream "Die Hyper, Die!" ;-P

And giving me a hug is the least a fairy could do after putting me through everything she did. XD

I know you were only messing, even without the numerous emoticons, I would not have taken what you said as anything other than a bit of fun :-). I just thought I would take off the evil helm and show a kinder side. Now that I have emotions again I decided to end my reign as evil overlord and stop pushing nice people in a pit of evil gamer nerds. Also, there were no "Die Hyper, Die!"', but there were lots of Mwahahahaahhaha, but who doesn't love doing an evil laugh :-).

Thank you ddickinson for this amazing GA and prize which I will soon be picking out. A shout out to genkicolleen whose generosity in splitting the prize allowed me to be a winner too :) thanks!

Sorry for necroing, but I'm just finishing The Hunger Games audiobook, and I've seen the movie before, and I realised something (which I knew before, it just came into clearer focus), so figured since we discussed movie adaptations here I'll post in this thread.

I find the difference between a movie and a book to be interesting, and this actually adds to my enjoyment of both. It's possible that it's because I see a story as fluid in my own writing. There's nothing "canon" about a particular version, so I'm not offended by changes, I see them as a necessary part of adaptation. Noting the changes and speculating on what these particular changes were made is interesting, and I think also beneficial to understanding story development.

Sure, I might consider a particular version better. In the case of The Hunger Games I feel that the book is stronger. But still, the difference is not something I see as negative.

By the way, this also goes for movie remakes. Seeing a different realisation of the same concept is always interesting, even if they differ considerably, even if I don't consider the remake as good as the original.
