so uh

i don't know how to say this, but: in my spare time, i am committing genocide.



only 12,195 zombies to go!

and yes, this deserved its own entry. ZOMBIE EXTERMINATION: SERIOUS BUSINESS.

and because i'm in an awfully fannish mood tonight, a meme:

Leave me a pairing [or two] and I'll tell you...

1. Two things that are awesome about it
2. Two things that are not so awesome about it
3. Two ways I'd love to write it

Left 4 Dead

it's an achievement that gives you 20 gamerpoints XD GAMERSCORE: ALSO SERIOUS BUSINESS

there is actually a bit of a cross-game in-joke with the number. pulled from the L4D wiki:

"This is a reference to the game Dead Rising, in which if you kill 53,594 zombies, it grants the "Zombie Genocider" achievement; Frank West, the player, has killed, down to a man, the entire population of Willamette. In order to outdo Dead Rising, Valve included this achievement and added one more to the kill count. The word is also a pun: the suffix "er" usually indicates something that is directly better than the previous (which is the ending of Genocider, although it's a different meaning in that term) while "est" indicates something that is the best. This Achievement is literally a "we are the best" statement."

another, later released zombie game, Prototype, has a similar achievement also but requires 53596 zombies killed.

everything the media says about video games is true. they are turning us into mass murderers....of pixelated zombies.

and meme!

1. i think Sieg/Hilde offers Siegfried a happy ending without being uh...too happy? Like, it's not 'oh hey you killed the bad guy and now you get the hot princess yay!', there is a lot of underlying conflict between them that makes their interaction tense and dramatic.

there are a lot of ways the relationship can play out, too. i wouldn't mind seeing fic where Siegfried and Hilde aren't actually a romantic pairing, just working together and being friends or something. or even something weirder just because...there is a lot of potential craziness there. XD

2. there isn't much written/drawn about them. and a lot of what i've seen is very run-of-the-mill, sort of boring princess-and-knight romance stuff, and while i can see why people would do that i don't think that portrayal is very fair to the characters.

3. um um um...I'd like to write something focusing on how Hilde gets her court & kingdom to accept Siegfried. (Especially if she decides to have a long-term relationship or marriage with him.) Wolfkrone probably wouldn't be that hot on the idea of their queen shacking up with the guy who laid waste to their kingdom and all.

And maybe more 'Siegfried discovers Hilde is crazier than anyone expected' fic. XD XD
