Sequels are typically less well received, regardless of source material.

I used to feel that way a lot. I got better now, simply telling myself I am, in fact, ready for my exams. Well, I had professional help to get rid of that anxienty. So I can only tell you to convince yourself you're ready to do the exam, even if you feel you aren't, that won't help you in the few hours/minutes right before it, and if afterwards you discover that you were not in fact ready, just study harder. I hope that helps :D

Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike the tvtropes forum for the fact that it doesn't have regular things for bolding and the like and need to read a separate tutorial to figure out how to do it? 'cause I do.

Catch is, it works the same way to edit pages. If you don't trope and just use the forums, I see your point. But if you wiki at all, it shouldn't bother you in the slightest.

Personally, I like code-based formatting, though. So /Bias.

It doesn't bother me that much, because I already know the stuff I use the most often, and whenever I have to use something fancier, which is pretty rare, I check the tutorial you mentioned.

I know how spoilers, italics, and linking stuff works. That's about it for me.

The thing that bothers me about the tvtropes forum is I really don't have any idea how to find it or navigate it once I have found it. (I've probably accessed it before then got confused and closed it without committing much about that process to memory.)

There's a button that says "Forum" at the top of each page. Just click on that and it'll take you to the full list.

So this weekend I played my new favorite DnD character Gorgoth the Half Orc War Mage, the greatest Magic Man in all history. He has one level of Barbarian, and then three levels of War Mage. He fought off a giant beetle monster with a stone covering by turning his hands into stone and grabbing onto its horns, and then flying into a Rage to rip them off and bash in the monsters brain. Then tanked a psionic mind blast and proceeded to go scorched earth on all of them using a few pyrotechnic spells to turn an enemy gathering into a bloodbath.

I don't watch SHIELD, but GF is one of my favs! I raved about the last ep on Twitter for a while, but I didn't think any other Metaguards watched it since no one joined me. :? :lol:

Yeah, I don't do comics very often and the simple title made it sound kinda stupid, but I saw the trailer and it actually looks pretty cool. I might end up seeing it if my dad's interested in it, too.

Look to your right :D

Gravity Falls is my fave cartoon, besides the Avatar series. The ending of the latest episode was just so emotional, and then that Wham line.

What episode did you laugh hardest at? For me it's probably Golf War. Big Henry ;_;

[GRAVITY FALLS SPOILER WARNING]I know, right? Not What He Seems was great even in the smallest details. Stan's escape scene was one of the best I've seen, even if one of the shortest ("I have one hundred bucks and I want you to drive the furthest away from here in that direction!"). The ending was simply an emotional bomb, for all the characters.

Now, the episode I laughed the hardest at? It's been a long while since I watched season 1 (I'm not rewatching it right now because I have other shows I want to catch up with). But out of the shorts, Lefty had one of the most hilarious jokes. From Season 2... I think either Scary-oke or Soos and the Real Girl.

Remember Big Henry ;_;

And a lot of episodes have emotional weight behind them too.

I cannot be hyped about Ant Man, because Edgar Wright left the director's chair and therefore I will spend the entire movie thinking about how much better it could've been.

Well, I say "better." "Catering to my particular sensibilities" might be more accurate.

I don't know too much about Ant Man other than "he's a douchebag", at least in the comics, so my opinion on the movie can be summed up to: "I can't believe Ant Man is getting a movie before Wonder Woman".
