I like reading up on tropes about gambits and personality types, though I do of course enjoy random silliness. My favorite page right now is I Need To Go Iron My Dog.

TV Tropes is like crack:after the first time,you can't stop
that's two of us.

Wasted so much time on that site.

That's why I don't go there, it's easy to get trapped in the site all day.

I just lost one hell of a lot of time, thanks to you. Never do that again!

While on the subject: I'm a big fan of "More Dakka!", 'cause there ain't such thing as enough Dakka!

So. It went :

More dakka.

-> A team firing.

--> Truth in television.

-> Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy.

--> Never live it down

---> Flanderization *

----> Unintentionally sympathetic *

-----> Unintentionally Unsympathetic

----> Ice Cream Koan *

-----> Only sane man

-----> Altum videtur

----> Cultured badass

-----> Take that

------> Author Filibuster *

---> Law of conservation of details


Stop.

_________
* Particularly interesting. Don't go there. Also, the game section of author filibuster lacks a reference to NOLF.

DAMN YOU ALL!

It got me again.


Please lock this thread!

I don't get how you people can get hooked on TV Tropes. It doesn't seem very addicting to me.

Possibly the same way we can get hooked on fairy tales and medieval folklore analysis and classification through Aarne-Thompson patterns. Or jut a taste for mild, lite, structuralism, plus the nostalgic pleasure to browse though our collective memories and re-consider old favorites through the perspective of overlooked details and comparisons we hadn't thought of.

Or I am answering too seriously ?
