    Existence... could there ever be a 'how' behind it?

    Existence Whether you believe that God created the universe or that some unlikely (although probably more likely than the existence of a God) chain of events occurred to catalyze the beginning of the universe doesn't matter. The question is not in how the universe was made, but in how...

    Video Plants and Polygraphs - The Backster Effect

    So this shit is kinda crazy, this dude, Cleve Backster, whom I believe is known as the Father of the Polygraph, found out that you could hook up the galvanic response diode of a polygraph system to a plant to get some very interesting results. Namely, he came to the conclusion that plants can...

    Expressing Sarcasm Through Text

    Does everyone have as much of a problem with this as I do? Too often assuming sarcasm when there is none, or missing it entirely when it's there? It's so hard to catch through text sometimes, and yet I feel like it's a mechanism that's used pretty frequently online. I mean, in real life, sarcasm...

    Gaming Meet Ouya: The $99 game [console] everyone is talking about

    Forget the Xbox, PlayStation and Wii -- the game machine everyone is talking about today is the Ouya.If you haven't heard about Ouya, that's because it doesn't, technically, exist as anything but a prototype yet. But it looks like it won't be long before the silver and black cube designed to...

    The Girl Who Cried Wolf

    An unfinished (and probly bound to stay that way) story I was working on a bit ago. If anyone has the chance to read it, lemme know what you think of how the people react. I'm writing from a female's POV, something I'm not at all familiar with, so lemme know if it sounds realistic at all or not...

    Quick, can't think of the right word. Help!

    Hey WC, I feel like there are times when we're writing when we just can't think of the right word, even though we know there's a perfect one for the situation. Try as you might, you can't find it in the thesaurus or anywhere else. Well, this is the place to solve that problem. Initially, I...

    Hellhounds, Revisited

    This is the prologue to the novel I'm working on developing that hosts the characters I've posted in Cross' Build-A-Character thread. In the spoiler tags, I've got the first few paragraphs so you can decide if you think it might be interesting, 'cuz the prologue is twelve pages long and I know a...

    Fatmankev's Build-A-Story Project

    Alright, so let me start by saying that if there's one thing I've learned about the Writer's Corner over the past few years, it's that people don't like to read long stories but they want everyone else to read their stories. For me, it's been a problem; I thrive off of the positive criticism of...

    Seraphim, Chapter 1

    Yo, haven't been here in a while... but, had some free time, so I thought I'd post a story I've started to see if anyone finds it interesting. Rock on, brothers, hope you enjoy it. Also, I'd love to stick my story in spoilers, but I can't seem to find them anymore... oh well. If you've got 20...

    Wondering

    I lay across a thousand blades, wondering at how the world Can hold so many different shades, and catch my eye with every turn And loll of my head from side to side, visions mixing and becoming swirled As they clash together and noisily collide. Through all of this I hope to learn, to...

    Refferring to Mirror Image Units

    Yo. I'm trying to make a spell that is like mirror image, where the duplicates are created, except they'll do exactly the same thing as the caster; I need them to be lined up with him and move to the same spots that he moves to, offset by a set distance, and to cast spells on the same target...

    Magic Missle - Horizontal Arcing Travel

    Hey, I need a spell that resembles the Magic Missle spell in Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. This spell creates 1 magical missle for every 2 levels of the caster, and then shoots them all at the same time at his enemy. However, you can see them because they all have a different degree of a...

    Buffs for +stat bonuses trouble

    Yo - I'm tryin' to make some standard WoW-style buffs (Mark of the Wild/Arcane Intellect/Power Word:Fortitude/etc...) but I can't find the right abilities to base my spells off of. It'd be dumb if I had to trigger these, so I'd prefer not to despite its relative ease, but yeah... What I...

    Removing Ability art

    Hey, I've got a spell based off chain lightning that creates an effect on the target unit and has the lightning effect, as the spell normally does; however, the way I have it, the damaging effects of the spell on work 50% of the time. What I need is a way to keep the lightning effects and all...

    The Darkening

    Cliche title, eh? Oh well, screw it. Felt like posting something since I haven't posted in a while, although it ain't too much. Just the start to a story that takes place in the same universe as The Reawakening, a short story I wrote a little bit ago. Not much has happened in it so far... but...

    Warhammer Story, W.I.P. and Rough Draft

    Hey all, I just wanted to post this to see what everyone thinks of this kind of story, as I haven't seen too many futuristic stories on this forum. So, take a look at it and tell me what you think, and if you like it then I'll have a reason to continue working on it! Note: This is only part of...

    I need a good Tower Defense!

    Hey everyone, I'm kind of bored and I'd really like a good tower defense to play. But before you start giving suggestions, let me please ask everyone not to post any shitty tower defenses. I need to very well-made tower defense, one that has variation and can be played and enjoyed time after...

    Trouble setting the level of an ability.

    So I've got an item based off of "Build Tiny Scout Tower," or whatever the hell it is. I set the number of levels of the ability to 3. Level 1 is normal, level 2 has one socket, and level 3 has two sockets. However, I can't figure out how to change the level of an ability for an item. Does...
