My usual format, using your example...

Tim appears by the doorway of Joe's house. He flicks off his hat with one finger and puts it on the table next to him. He coughs to get Joe's attention, then says with a smug look on his face...

Tim: Hey there! Let's go get a beer.

Joe turns around, his long trench coat whipping around with him. He pulled a cigar out of the corner of his mouth and held it between his fingers.

Joe: Oh yeah, I want a beer! How about down the street?

Tim: *suddenly remembers something* Er... Do you have any money? I lost mine yesterday in a bar fight...

Joe: Money? Gawd! You always lose yours! Keep it somewhere that they can't find it! *blows a circle of smoke into the air next to him*


It's a sort of mixture, to be sure. Detailed stuff gets italics, dialog gets script format. Simple actions that don't require much description are placed within asterisks inside the dialog, as do sound effects.

There are other specific things, though, for example Out-of-Character discussion is placed in ((double parenthesis)) and gets separated from the rest of the text by a line of ten dashes, ----------. The line of ten dashes is also used to represent other things, such as when two separate events are taking place in two separate locations, one is described first followed by ---------- and then usually a Meanwhile... Talking that is done in a language the rest of the main characters should, for the most part, not understand (AKA which would be translated with subtitles if this were a TV show or movie) gets placed within a < and a >. Telepathic speaking is done with ~tildes~. Thinking is put in italics and usually has *thinking* right before it for further clarity. Now to make an example to display said things!

As the firefight raged on, JDavis took shelter behind a crate.

JDavis: There's too many of them... *thinking* If only Kirbynite was here...

----------

Meanwhile, on Neo Grape Gardens...

Kirbynite: *Achoo!*

The Dreamlander scratched his nose, then shrugged and went back to plowing the fields.

----------

Back to the battle...

JDavis leapt out from behind the crate and shot several of the Maverick gims before ducking behind a conveniently placed jeep.


JDavis: At this rate, this could take all year...

Suddenly, all the gims stopped shooting.

JDavis: ...Eh?

On the far end of the corridor a door opened. Out of it stepped a small round figure with flowing red-orange hair, yellowed horns, an odd tail and some bunny ears.

JDavis: *gritting his teeth* Popodey!

Popodey: ~I know you're in here, Davis...~

JDavis: If you're going to taunt me, use your mouth, freak!

Popodey: ~I would, but I've got this sore throat this week and...~ ~WHY am I bothering telling you this? Anyway, I've got a new ally that is sure to be able to take you down...~

Another small figure stepped out of the door, this one was yellow with a lightning-shaped tail, black-tipped ears, and bright red cheeks.

JDavis: *peeks around the corner of the jeep* Oh no! A yellow rat! I'm so scared!

Pikachu: Pika pi!? Pi pi pikaCHU! < Yellow rat!? I'll show you! >

The Pikachu let loose a large bolt of electricity. It flew across the corridor, hitting the jeep. The electricity, combined with the combustibility of the gas within the vehicle caused a large explosion, which sent JDavis flying backwards...


I'm going to go ahead and stop there before I make a whole story out of this thing You get the point, anyway.

Personally, I'd probably put the top part of the sky where it changes from the lightest color to the mid-light color at the top of the post, with text background being the lightest color.

Oh, it was finished and released, Grey. It's usually compared more to Zelda than other games. And sure enough, it was long before Marvelous' creator, Eiji Aonuma, was brought into working on the Zelda series, first as dungeon designer for OoT, and afterwards as Miyamoto's second-in-command (so to speak).

Get the NES edition. And if you're going to get one of the Classic NES games, get Zelda. The others aren't really worth it. SMBDX (Gameboy Color) is a more preferable port than Classic NES series SMB.

Posted on 07-18-04 04:01 AM, in Why did you choose your username? Link
When I first got on the internet, sometime around age 5 (1991/1992), I picked the screen name JDavis1186. Which is a combination of my name, Josh Davis, along with the month and year I was born, November 1986.

When I first came to Acmlm's in 2001, I was still using that name (and infact, I still do for AIM). But at the start of 2002, just after a temporary username change for the Christmas season, I decided it was time to but off the numbers and go to the simpler JDavis.

It's pretty well your standard pirate (insert number) NES games in one controler thing.

This one has been strangely popular lately though. Showing up in malls (particularly those little shops in the middle of the walkways that usually have stuff like cellphone cases and moderatly cruddy soveniers/gifts).

((Jack and Draco HAVE wings, you know.))

Washu: We could have used one of the doors, like Kirbynite said. Of course, that would involve being in my lab and not on the Souja's hull.

Jack: So what now?

Washu: Relax, I've got it. *raises her hands as if typing on a keyboard and a black semi-transparent laptop appears*

Washu hits a few keys and a star-shaped device which looks like a simple looped wire appears. She hits a few more keys and its shape changes to something roughly right-triangular.

Washu: *grabs the device and throws it down onto the hull, which it sticks to* I've reconfigured the Dimensional Tunnel to take us just inside.

Jack let out a deep sigh.

Haruko: *with a smirk* And what are you sighing for? You're supposed to be the genius around here.

Jack: I just don't like all of this talk about prophecies and importance of today and all that. Too much pressure of responsibility if you ask me. I don't know how you deal with it.

Haruko: Incase you hadn't noticed, I'm not exactly "Miss Calm"

Jack: Ha! Like last week! They still haven't properly fixed that hole. *nods head over to a Haruko-shaped hole in the wall, with two boards nailed over it in an "X" shape*

Haruko: How was I supposed to know that was a fake spider?!

Jack: I don't know, but we don't have time for this!

Jack runs up to the zombie and gives it a firm kick to the stomach, sending it a short distance backward toward the ghost. However, the ghost floats upward abit and dodges the flying zombie.

Jack smirked as he looked over at Kirbynite.

Jack: Amazing what you can pick up between naps.
