If style guides and such are anything to go by, I believe the word has come to cover both spelling and punctuation as well. An example of synecdoche, if you will.

Hehe. Not exactly.

Oh, I love Adam Buxton.

I remember early on, when I was completely overthinking the Borderlands story and hoping for some really neat twist. It was something to do with that Marcus guy having created some kind of economy where people search for this vault that's all one big ruse, but he's making money off all the weapons and such. I mean, a freakin' bobblehead of him is a form of currency... Silly me.

"We gotta go film this!"

Present: Contacted EA Support about the pack I should've been awarded, following a Mass Effect 3 weekend event. Same thing has happened before. Only this time, I get the pack and go to redeem it, only for the game to hang and disconnect me. When I log back in to multiplayer, EVERYTHING has been reset. Characters, guns, gear: everything FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU- Hoping they can restore something server side, since the manifest still works on the site.

That TV adaptation of Powers is taking its time...

Heh, yeah, very different. I meant from a narrative standpoint. It's just one such term for 'the thing that gets your story moving', but from a writer's perspective. Essentially, you need to have your 'hook' in those first ten pages of a script. I've been told that's how a lot of people in the industry view it...which can be a problem. Audiences might be the same, unless they're used to a particular writer or director's style. In classical terms, it is whatever sparks the hero into action. So, for Star Wars, it would be Luke getting Leia's message. Though I don't think that actually happens until after ten minutes in. Some films might begin in medias res, to get the action right up front. Hell, Indiana Jones films sort of begin with the end of 'another Indiana Jones film'.

Challenge accepted Also, forgot that it's 'palaver'. ...I should go.

Honestly, it's been a few years since I've seen it, so I can't recall the details but I'm not so sure In Bruges has an 'inciting incident' as such. Possibly the 'kill him/is trying to kill himself' moment that comes fairly late? Could be the shooting which put them there, but that's revealed later, isn't it? In Bruges has an odd narrative structure.

*embarrassing.

*piqued. Sorry.

Hey, look, I'm posting something wonderful rather than weird!

Yeah, I'll have to do a proper search when I can be bothered. Problem is that W7 hasn't kept an earlier version of the folder in case that has corrupted, nor do I have cloud-saving turned on (though I'd read people having problems with that too).

I thought they were referring to the rule about having the 'inciting incident' within the first ten minutes. Obviously not a standard by which you can judge all films. And I think In Bruges has a nice, deliberately slow start.

Does software-related count? Past: Couldn't play Just Cause 2 shortly after it released because of no internet connection. Thanks, Steam. Present: Saints Row 3 no longer loads my saved games even though they are right there in the folder. God-fucking-damnit.

Not really spoilery, but just in case...

So, this is a thing. Probably won't ever watch it, but Richard Briers is great.

Look at the gameplay and such http://uk.gamespot.com/mass-effect-3/videos/mass-effect-3-the-devil-and-the-deep-blue-sea-6390079/

He was hiding under the sea. And he can kill ALL the Reapers...as long as you lure them under that particular planet's ocean.
