Interesting. Are they in essence the same? A stub and a 100-word sub? Go to Comment

They don't have good domesticated men like we civilized folk. What does this say about how civilized men became domesticated? Go to Comment

I ran into the same problem, recently, 100 word subs were derided as being stubs. Go to Comment

Our don't vote, scores are secondary to comments anyway. People don't post here to get gold stars, they post to get feedback right? Go to Comment

why post at all then? why not just write it down and put it on your blog or even just save it to your hard drive. Go to Comment

I have lost tons of stuff with hard drive fails. I feel your pain. But when you, Scras dies and some Ph.D. student working a thesis about your life discovers these spiral notebooks your work will have second life.

There should not be problems with a 100-word challenge sub being short. That is kind of the point.

"congrex" appears to be a typo :)

I am impressed that you can say so much with so little, although it seems to me that this is more of a stub. Go to Comment

Maybe I should revise my statement to say that I have no idea how to vote on this. Go to Comment

Oh...kind of like Tusken Raiders... Go to Comment

If you start getting further away with a sides completion (like I do all the time with Rubiks cubes, because I suck at them) do the intensity of the emotions dwindle?

I like this a whole bunch; plus it has a myriad of practical uses and can substitute any illegal drug in a game. What if the players find one of these cubes (say, the anger cube) in their travels without fully understanding what it is, and then through the course of the game as one person plays with it, he becomes increasingly aggressive and prone to flights of violence.


It boils down computer and internet addiction (which is actually quite a serious issue) into a massively condensed and fast-paced form; all of those emotions can be obtained from the internet (Such as fear/happiness in computer games, and arousal in adult websites etc...) And as we know, there are already cases of people dying of fatigue after World of Warcraft marathons and the like.
Without details, i'll agree with Scras at the end there - addiction sucks. Go to Comment

The only difference between modern internet addiction and the emote cube is that the cube itself isn't just a cool toy to play with, it's directly jacked into the emotional seratonin/dopamine system of the brain.

As for the other, when the cube is scrambled, it doesn't do anything. Once several panels are on the same side, the effect starts to play out. A fully scrambled cube doesn't do anything, nor does a fully solved puzzle, everything is balanced out. So the cube isn't a hand grenade device, it won't get you for just picking it up.

The emote cube was a foundation piece of technology for developing the biofeedback system used by the CogNet (4th gen immersive internet ala the Matrix). So, there are an untold number of devices using this tech. Go to Comment

I like how even the "bad" sides still have som therapeutic uses. Do any other devices use this technology? And why not sell the sides individually? Why not sell less intense versions of these cubes? Go to Comment

Cool idea. I like the creative use of a completely mundane object.

This is the most extreme addiction I can think of: no need to buy more than one and works perfectly every time. I can imagine just how devastating this device would be.

I can see some therapeutic uses of this under very tightly controlled circumstances. Go to Comment

They hail from an icy moon that orbits a gas giant, and they have a surprisingly maritime history and culture. They are militant and aggressive.

There's a lot to like here. No part is painted with the florid hues of cliche, and it all looks pretty well thought out. It's a little boring *because* it is so well thought out (but I say that about anything that doesn't have explosions), but how else are you going to have a company of evil lawyers? UCC is menacing without being evil, which is nice. 5/5 Go to Comment

To use a cascade breaking move the character has to shout COMBO BREAKER!!!

This is a worthy attempt to blend Street Fighter into the post-modern setting in a balanced, realistic way. Praiseworthy. Go to Comment
