The real reason we don't have Vampires is that Estarra's probably old enough to remember this.

Phred's original video was taken from a cell phone and I think he was trying to have the whole thing from the point of view of his eyeball which was kind of neat except (as he pointed out) the point of view ended up being of his forehead. So I took some license with some images and image effects for something interesting to look at. Phred, I think you have a definite accent! New York or New Jersey perhaps? Someplace northeast I'm sure!

The one thing I wish I had done was quote Arthur C. Clarke with regard to the technology question: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Thus, Lusternia is a high tech world!

Alrighty so if a mob keeps gold that you give to it is it safe to assume that it will keep other items you give to it? And that the mob will hand over these items if successfully influenced?

Yeah, this has happened before. Phoebus gave Zaebron (sp?) two bottles of alcohol, and I was able to beg them from him, though I had to wait a bit in between.

I was actually trying to do just both eyes like a "ninja", but I didn't get the aim right. It worked better with the second video (which I wonder if that will be answered as well), and the single eye works well. I actually prefer your edit of the first one. I'd be more clever but I've never used video editing software before and just wanted to do it more or less "off the cuff".

I come from and live in Central Massachusetts. I guess when you live in the area all your life you don't see the accent. I know that Massachusetts tends to get two stereotypes, the Boston "Wicked Pissah" accent you see on TV like the Departed and Good Will Hunting, and the Kennedy accent (which doesn't really exist OUTSIDE of the Kennedy clan).

At least I got the general region right! No one ever thinks they have an accent. A friend of mine was visiting relatives in the deep south and they told him he had an accent. When he asked them what his accent sounded like, they said he sounded like people on TV.

It actually reminded me a little of a Brooklyn accent at first, although there were enough differences that I could tell it had to be something else.

I've had people from Liverpool to Australia to wherever Xavius lives tell me they have no accent before. Makes me want to facepalm every time!

I fully acknowledge that I have an accent. I do my damnedest to hide it at every available interaction, but I've been called 'Belle' before because of it. Usually when I'm so stressed out that I'm more than willing to just SUNDANCE BLAZE them to death and be done with it.

I don't have an accent. :3 I can though or when I get agitated or friends are doing their friendly banter thing, I tend to have a texas accent.

Moar Ask Estarra!

Everyone has an accent. tongue.gif

Rewatched these, they're all quite nice.
Llesvelt2011-01-25 20:21:52
A saying from these parts:

The only people without an accent is yourself and those nearest to you, this is true for everyone.
Nihmriel2011-01-25 20:41:49
No one ever thinks they have a nice accent. Fact: every accent sounds cute, 'neat' or totally delicious to someone on the opposite side of the country/planet/solar system.
