The Traveling Tale by the Mark Spoils Community (title credit to Szark)

Made changes to the guidelines to help the story grow

This project the spoils community writes a story one to five sentences, one person at a time with the goal of having Mark read it while on tour. (If we can have him agree to be on video, even better)

The rules as follows:
1) Write only one to five sentences here in the replies section, it can be whatever you want. You can help the story go, or post something outrageous to mess it up. Just please make sure the transitions between sentences are smooth.
2) Please wait a while before adding part to the story, at least two authors
3) Please try not to include any major trigger content or spoilers, espically Mark's Triggers.

that's it, feel free to read the story in whole or just the last sentence when you contribute yours.

I have created a google doc to organize all the content as its being written, the body of the story and the credits at the end to list all of the authors who contributed, even if its only once sentence.

Google document to for the story https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DJCNNwbLGl4vi...

All posts for prior playthroughs, from FFI through the present, available at http://coldrungaming.blogspot.com.

Current progress: about to start Final Fantasy VII! I bought the game on Steam, and that purchase is as far as I go so far. First post will probably be Tuesday.

Shows (almost) every week, on Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST


Its time to start Infamous Second Son on PS4, this is a BLIND run, I know very little about this game both plot and gameplay wise.

Trigger Warnings are unknown as I have not played before but according to the rating label its rated T(as in PG-13) for Blood, Drug reference,Language, Sexual Themes and Violence

Next up is Shadow of the Colossus (BLIND) not Final Fantasy Type 0

After that taking suggestions
Can do (finished, but I could put a new spin on things or use restrictions)
Kingdom Hearts 1,2 or Birth by Sleep
Beyond Two Souls
Final Fantasy 7,8,9,10 or 10-2
Any of the Ratchet and Clank series on PS3
Can do (played or tried but not finished)
Tales of Graces f
Final Fantasy XIII
Sly Fox series
Can do (All of these blind, Know nothing about them and never played them.
Final Fantasy Type 0
Dragon Age Orgins
Mirror's Edge
Open to other Ideas as well, just tell me what kind of game it is (RPG, action, etc)
Can only do things playable on PS3(ps classics too) and PS4

I really like the Final Fantasy Series(not 2,3 or 12), Kingdom Hearts Series, Ratchet and Clank Series, I also like the Tomb Raider Rebbot on ps3 and the Uncharted series. I really like games with a good story.

Not a fan of First Person Shooters and MMO's

Sarah Reads Dragon Haven

And also the end of Dragon Keeper because apparently I never wrote about that?? Brain what are you doing.

I guess it’s okay because there really wasn’t a plotty reason for splitting the two books up. (Similarly, how are there two more books? That totally read like the end of series!)

Anyway, I have mixed feelings about these books. They’re enjoyable and pretty good but just…not quite there.

Watched the first episode of Leverage. Bangarang! That was fun! A lot like Hustle but I think I'll like this show better.

Most egregious Snickers moment* I've had on Pandora ever: on my Crüxshadows station -- their genre is darkwave, which is basically industrial-goth-techno-punk-rock -- I got "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls on Friday night. I actually pulled my phone out of my lab coat pocket and stared at it for a few seconds. (I also let the song play before I downvoted it, because why waste the downvote/skip? I really love that song, just. What.)

Anyone else have any standout moments? I quite enjoy hearing about when other people's Pandora stations (or internet radio, or whatever you use) act strangely.

*Snickers moment: a surprisingly useful phrase a friend of mine coined for when your station gives you a song for no reason you can figure out; this came about because I told her about another one, a month or two ago, and she said "EAT A SNICKERS, PANDORA. YOU'RE NOT YOU WHEN YOU'RE HUNGRY."
So I started watching The Strain this weekend... anyone else see this show?

I'm about halfway through it.

Given how problematic a lot of their content is, I don't know how many people here are fans of Rooster Teeth or RWBY. However, those of you are might have heard that Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY, passed away today.

I didn't know him personally, but from everything I've heard about him the man worked nonstop. He really cared about all of his projects. The post I linked to said if you want to honor him, do something creative. I know that I have way too many creative projects gathering dust because I lacked the motivation or willpower to get started on them. This really puts things in perspective, and it seems like a good way to show appreciation for the guy who made RWBY and kicked Red vs Blue up to a new level of production. RIP, Monty.

So much snow outside...

I've caught up with Mark's video's for Leverage and Circle of Magic, so I could do something productive...or I could just play more Civ 5.

Yeah, let's do that. Maybe watch a couple episodes of ER.

Music thread?

Starting things off with Electric Guest's "Troubleman", which fused with a snow-covered car going at reasonably safe speeds to form a strange, somewhat magical commute to college this morning. Unfortunately it's almost nine minutes long, but I think I recommend it.
