More like Not Good Enough am I right?
Well, I tried. Anyway, it really does seem that when an idea for a creepypasta sounds dead on arrival, it usually is. With very few exceptions, I think most creepypasta with a horrible idea, came out as pretty bad. Not all the time were they truly awful and unreadable, but still pretty bad. Of course, that what makes an idea like this special, in that it isn't bad idea from the get go, but it is a lot like Red dwarf IX with how it isn't a dead idea from the start, but there really isn't a whole lot you can do without the proper use of storytelling and creativity.
Not Long Enough is a creepypasta based on the popular series Futurama, a series that is hit or miss with me. As I have stated, the idea isn't dead on arrival, but still needs a lot of work to make it good. Let's face it, with any sci-fi series, if you want to make a "Lost Episode" creepypasta off of it, you have to make sure that your concept has not been done by the show itself, or at the very least not end it with "They all died, the end".
Essentially, the pasta is a confusing story about Fry feeling guilty about something and Bender and Leela being cold and bitter towards him, and this is a problem with a lot of creepypasta. I know the phrase "less-is-more" but you got to understand, that phrase does not work in storytelling, only character building and visuals. There is no explanation of what Fry did and it makes me confused more than anything else. If I had to hazard a guess, maybe he screwed up an ad that made the company seem like a suicide hotline, but that's only because of what happens in the story and not through any explanation. I realize confusion is a part of fear, but only the parts of confusion like anxiety and surprise, and to a lesser extent disorientation.
Another huge problem with this pasta is that, well, I've seen this stuff before. It was a creepypasta called Dead Bart and that was horrible. However, I don't think this is as bad as Dead Bart, I do like some of the descriptions, with my favourite describing a background as having "The colours you see when you close your eyes to hard", I love that image.
I think this is a shame, because with a bit of a rewrite this pasta could be something decent, in fact I think this might be the most salvageable creepypasta I've ever reviewed. I don't think the descriptive writing isn't bad, the storytelling is decently competent. It's just missing a couple things to truly make it great.
I'd say skip it if you want as I don't think it is really worth reading, but if you want to check it out, by all means go right ahead.
But for now, I'm giving it a 4/10.
And if you want to read my previous review, here it is: The Dawn is Your Enemy

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
