See this, this is why I hate abnormally long titles.
Also, Dear Reddit, I don't like you, nor your /r/nosleep page, so don't expect me to do a whole lot more Reddit exclusives.
So yeah, already two strikes against this pasta, but to be fair, it isn't really bad, actually it's kind of interesting.
This pasta is about conjoined twins, and how they were very close, but their parents wanted a normal daughter. Immediately, I dislike the parents, maybe it is my autism speaking, but when parents claim they wanted a "normal" child, I can't help but think that this parent should not have been a parent, then again I dislike the idea of "normal" anyway so bleh.
I do admit, this creepypasta did have a few interesting parts, the part where the sister dies was actullay fascinating to read, and the twist at the end actually gave me a thought, why do people have a desire to be normal? After all, what is normal for the Spider, is chaos for the fly, and what is normal for the bear, is chaos to the poor sod who tried to get near them. Normal is anything but, it is all based in perspective, it is normal for me to get angry at small issues, but walking in a straight line? I can't do that, even though I'm sober. The idea of a normal life style is quite unfortunately more used in the consumer world we live in, "It's normal to do this, and not normal to do that" and...
Woah, I'm really getting off topic, reminder to talk more about normality in the future.
Anyway, where was I? Oh right, the creepypasta, umm... I do think this was an interesting read, although much like with Gateway to the Mind I do have to question something, as I am not a conjoined twin I'm not really sure but, do conjoined twins share thoughts? It's not uncommon for people to share thoughts and read minds, mostly, so can conjoined twins share thoughts?
Oh well, if there is one thing I'm not fond of, it is the ending, it's not "this was the last thing written before she died" like the last story I reviewed, but it still took me out of the mood. Although it was a better ending, and considering the twist I don't think any other ending would have worked, I don't know, go read it and see what you think. Yeah, what kind of a critic am I? Telling people to get their own opinions, ha.
Honestly, this was alright. I think my standards have been set a touch to high, but I enjoyed this for what it was. Not really one in my top ten, but maybe top fifty. I probably could have articulated more if I didn't go on a huge rant about "Normality", but that's why people like Ayumu.
I give this a 7/10, should I make a tasteless joke? Nah...

NeoPets: The Darkest Faeries Video Game Review
This game takes me back, it was one of the few PS2 games I had as a kid, and I've never actually gotten around to finishing it. Until now. To start with the good, for a simple Zelda clone, this game is actually a lot better than one would think. The world is expansive and varied, challenges are usually interesting, and the lore is actually kind of varied. There are books scattered around everywhere that have useful information, like about Motes, Petpets, or how to get past that stupid Endless Staircase that stumped my entire family on how to do it until we just looked it up online. On top of that, if you play the game properly and upgrade your equipment frequently, you actually can feel yourself getting more powerful. I really noticed it with Roberta, at first I thought that she was just not that useful in combat, but as I upgraded her wands I noticed that she was getting much more powerful, to the point where I think I actually used her more than Tor in Hero's Rest. It's kind of a
So I picked up ''1001 Comics'' a while ago
I could probably stop there because most people know that the 1001 X before you die books are... I'll be generous and say stupid. Honestly, they're kind of good as like, reference books or even just a starting point if you want to get into things like comics, movies or video games... though that last one is definitely less so. Honestly, I do agree that these books are dumb and kind of pointless, I will also argue that only doing 1001 and not having extra parts or something like that is kind of limiting, like what happens after we somehow manage to finish all 1001 entries? However, 1001 Comics You Must Read Before You Die has a very unique issue... it's a bit of a mess. They don't just keep this to comics books, they have newspaper comics, manga and graphic novels, magazine comics, I'm pretty sure they only don't have webcomics because the book was written by old people. Really, almost every kind of comic is in here, Underground, super-heroes, comics based on cartoon characters, manga,
My Beef with the Science-Fiction Label
I would like to start this post with a question; What do the following movies have in common? Star Wars, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Alien, Back to the Future? If you guessed they were all of the same genre, you would be correct, because even though one is a fantasy movie, one is a shoot 'em up action movie, one is a slasher horror movie, and one is a comedy movie, they are all science-fiction. You know how a lot of people are making the argument that "Animation is not a genre", well a lot would argue that being animated does not give a movie a set of tropes and clichés to work with, other than being animated. For example, Coraline is an animated film, but it has different story beats and tropes than something like Cinderella, another animated film. Coraline is a horror movie while Cinderella is a fairy tale fantasy movie. Honestly, I think the same can be said for Science-Fiction movies. When you think of a genre, you usually think of movies that define the genre. When you think
Gladstone Gander - Disney's Greatest Tragic Duck
Tragedy is a large part of the art of storytelling, and the "Tragic character" is often one of the most loved characters in media. The tragedy can range from a little girl who left her home trying to find the family of a little star, only to lose her own family in the process, or a warring family, whose feud cost them the lives of their children. The great tragic characters are the ones we sympathize with, and often wish to see them overcome their tragic situation, but by that token, would the greatest tragic figure, be someone who doesn't even seem to be tragic? We don't see it from their perspective, we see it from someone else's. So, I have to ask, is there any better tragic character, than Gladstone Gander? From the outset, Gladstone Gander may not appear to be the most tragic character in Disney Comics. He is the luckiest duck in the world, never has to buy anything, never has to earn anything. He always faces his day with a smile and a vibrant green clover, which puts him in
