Actually I don't have surround sound, so it's not that.

http://www.mrlovenstein.com/comic/87 <--- This sums up the problem pretty succinctly. (Sorry, I can't remember how to embed URLs off the top of my head.) The thing is, it's been a problem for as long as I can remember, back when VHS was state-of-the-art, and it doesn't look like it's getting any...

You mean the "I just pushed the button that launched the nukes, oh f**k me" kind of failure? If so, that's a pretty good one. Would your boggart turn into a big, red, inviting button?

The only problem with that is, in the book, Harry describes all of the forms the boggart takes, implying that it can't take more than one form at once. He even wonders why Professor Lupin's worst fear appears to be a glowing balloon (the full moon).

These have probably been addressed elsewhere, but as I suffer from inveterate laziness, I've never seen any answers, if indeed they exist. (I'm sure someone will fill me in, if that's the case.) Anyway, onward... 1. No one knows what a boggart looks like because it turns into your worst fear...

No need to clarify. The whole point of this exercise is that national stereotypes are ridiculous, so we know you're not really like that. No worries. :)

As a native Marylander, I have an unnatural affinity for blue crabs with Old Bay (I stir that shit in my coffee). I also exemplify that weird conflation of "redneck" and "wealthy jackass" that only native Marylanders seem able to achieve.

However, it's properly spelled "Murrica." Then again, as a fellow Murrican, I can hardly read bathroom symbols without my lips moving, so maybe I'm not the best judge...

Man, such a shame this thread died (although I'm flattered it went for six pages--I didn't think it would last more than one or two when I created it). I just reread it, and I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. You guys are the best! :D

Gee thanks. ;)

OP edited to address this. :D

Hmmm. Okay, same name but different concept. Any suggestions?

I've developed a new theory about humor. There are, I believe, a class of jokes that are so painfully unfunny that they in fact elicit the exact opposite reaction in the listener, which I call anti-jokes. There are three kinds of anti-joke... 1. Jokes that are obvious because everyone's...

True enough. He definitely wouldn't want to just jump into it without warning. Still, it's not like YA horror is unheard of.

Not exactly what I meant, but good point. I think a lot will depend on how kind people are willing to be; yes, the game's been in development for twelve years, but it's been restarted from scratch multiple times in those twelve years. Expecting it to be some huge epic game would be unrealistic.
