Forum Overview :: Gamerasutra :: I'll give it a shot, ICJ

[quote name="fucking newbie"]Even though Tucker Max's surprisingly clever recovering sex-addict ex-girlfriend took down her blog and thus removed much of the entertainment present on this sorry internet, I will try to oblige. I already mentioned <a href="http://www.aldaily.com">Arts & Letters Daily</a>, where you can go to ease your hate-warped mindflesh into a hot bath of useful content - useful because it either tries to possess some merit in whose borrowed warmth your carcass might bask, or gives you an opportunity to pour vitriol into its depths. It's set up in pretty self-explanatory ways, but if you don't like certain portions, remember that the columns are categorical and that the Nota Bene section is reserved for highlights that might otherwise be easy to miss. You are likely familiar with <a href="http://www.bulwer-lytton.com">the Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest</a>, but in case you aren't, it's a place where people make ridiculous bits of one-sentence fiction every once in a while. Go to <a href="http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/2012win.html">the winners page</a> and read some samples for the best of the site. I read <a href="http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/06/amy_schumer_offers_you_a_look.html">the Last Psychiatrist</a> regularly. It isn't terrible for deconstruction and other shit - for one, it offers oddly enjoyable narratives about many pathologies that turn out plenty useful for character writing <a href="http://thelastpsychiatrist.com/2012/03/shame.html">and for feeling bad for Quentinbec I guess</a>. Can also help make sense of <a href="http://www.caltrops.com/pointy.php?action=viewPost&pid=150203">that fucking OSC rant that Arbit linked to here on clapstro</a>, if you want to feel superior to an author that wrote about sentient rat-people (fucking furfag). The TLP author also <a href="http://partialobjects.com/2012/03/teaching-metaphor-the-double-life-of-veronique/">posts</a> on <a href="http://partialobjects.com/2012/02/how-target-knows-everything-about-you-even-if-you-pay-in-cash/">Partial Objects</a>, which is supposed to be a deconstruction site bit is often a sorry beast, half alive at best. Like I said in the opening sentence, Eryn Tyler's blog is down but a partial archive of <a href="http://pastebin.com/mrLhCNF8">her hilarious, Quentinbec-like adventures</a> can be found <a href="http://reader.feedshow.com/show_items-feed=535c41cba442dd9c435df585314bd962?page=4">if you look hard</a>. Dunno if that's your thing. Sometimes <a href="http://www.violentacres.com/archives/54/the-deadbeat-dad-myth/">Violent Acres</a> is <a href="http://www.violentacres.com/archives/45/shape-of-a-divorce/">not terrible, though it's kind of a niche place</a>. This should go on dead trees, but you could probably digest the contents of <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=7QzhQ7fXBIoC&printsec=frontcover&dq=enemies+of+promise&hl=en&sa=X&ei=JkabUKK8AqGCiwLdi4CgCg&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=enemies%20of%20promise&f=false">Enemies of Promise</a> without becoming violently upset and benefit to a degree, assuming you don't already have better under your belt.[/quote]
