HMD!

[uncertified]

How's My Driving? - CritiqueYes, my potato bugs, it's that time again. As AP prepares to move on to a new and hopefully exciting era in the game, the mods have to get certain administrative tasks out of the way. And one those tasks happens to be HMD, or "How's My Driving?" for those unfamiliar with the lingo

Also just showing you how this is done. Love thread for Samus, Franziska, Sanzo, and Tenpou.

I hate you and I hate your characters and I kicked your puppy. Also, you need to wash your penguin. :|

Comments: Just showing y'all how it's done. And yes, I'm here for my beatings.

Franziska: I really haven't seen someone attempt to play her in any of the comms I'm in but so far from you, I really like her. She still has her "foolish" attitude and I like how when there were things needed to be solved, she'd step in.

Sanzo: No words but praise here. You play Sanzo as the asshole I know whom will only give a damn much if you've become "close" with him. More posts with him? I miss seeing his muse.

Sadly I'm not familiar with the other two so I can't give you a good crit for them.

[machinator]

Samus: You're already your own worst critic when it comes to this girl and you sometimes beat yourself up too much about stuff that you might not be 100% happy with. Yeah, knock it off. XD

Franziska von Karma: This isn't crit so much as it is bitching about your icons. And by bitching about your icons, I don't mean there's anything wrong with them... Whenever I see that whip-wielding woman, I get horrible flashbacks of her cracking it over Phoenix whenever she made her case. ;-; And how much I struggled to keep from throwing my DS every time she did out of frustration. XD

Genjyo Sanzo: I like how he's actually able to speak to people while still keeping his standoffish attitude. You don't use the fact that he's unpleasant to strangers as a crutch to keep him from interacting outside of his canon, which is impressive to me. At the same time, he's not just the perfect social butterfly either, which I also appreciate. He's a nice balance of forced conversation that is actually in character to be forced. X3 Yay.

Tenpou Gensui: Don't

Comments: XD More of Jack and River, right?

[pilot_zero_two]

MOAR EVERYBODY!

Kaoru: ...Is such a sweetie when compared to his evil twin. I love the dynamic, and wish to stalk see more of it!

Jack: I think I've told you this before, but let me reiterate: I love how smart you play Jack. He's got that incredible intelligence hidden under the semi-drunken facade, and you bring it out so well. Definitely want to see more of him!

River: MOAR RIVER, PLZ. You've got River's 'crazy' down really well. She seems like she might be a difficult character to play in this sort of setting, especially without a Simon, but I think you're doing very well. :3

[dara_snipeir]

MOAR JACK.

I've read some old threads with him but I think I've hardly seen him since I've been here. This is a sad thing.

[drillflowerhime]

Kaoru: You and Hikaru-mun play the twins quite well. I'm very impressed how you have Kaoru's sweetness still there while Hikaru has the more spice. I demand more.

Jack: I HAD NO CLUE YOU PLAYED JACK! Oh wait thats right. Cause he needs to post more. Pleassseee?

Disclaimer: Never seen Gundam 00

(What kind of horrible Gundam fangirl am I, honestly? A horrible one, apparently. D:)

I have no crit 'cos I don't know the character. I like how involved in stuff he is, though, and how he branches out and talks to everyone, up to and including (gasp!) non-cast mates! Hurray! \o/

...That's pretty much all I got. ♥

[dara_snipeir]

(I'm sure you are a better one than I, since I have not started into the other Gundam series, but need to.)

Aw, thank ya! Lyle was actually in a fantastic position, character-wise for that since, at first, he was dubious about interacting with/getting close to his crewmates (not fond of the brother comparisons, blah blah, "Ore wa nii-san ja nai.") but he is a social creature. So! That allows me a terrific IC reason to interact with all of you lovely people. :3

In that same vein, I am going to comment on Duo here, just because.

I don't remember much from Wing because what I saw was way back in middle school, I think. But! I do remember Duo being an extroverted, personable, mischievous kind of guy. I've seen him played around on LJ a lot, but yours is my favourite, because you balance the fun side well with his more serious side.

Also, Pikachu is pure adorable. I was surprised by how much depth can be given to a character that does not even technically speak.

[pilot_zero_two]

(Haha...it's one of the few I haven't seen...not that I remember much about the ones I have seen, other than Wing, 'cos it's been so many years...ah, well.)

Aww, thank you! I love playing Duo for that exact reason! He's tons more friendly than Hakkai so I can throw him out there more, and has a bigger vocab than Pikachu, so I can throw him out there more. Hurray!

Pikachu is deep. You've seen the anime, I hope? He's clearly the star of the show for that very reason. (You can tell I don't like Pikachu at all, can't you? =P)

Comments: I realize my activity ICly is low. D; Bad mod, but I'll get back on it when life isn't so demanding! Otherwise I would like some crit on my poorly behaved vamp. Be gentle but firm!

[pilot_zero_two]

You know I love your Janny. The only crit I have is POST MOAR but I know RL is stalking you. And I guess even that's not really crit, just a suggestion (or a demand!), so...Well, hell, I fail at concrit. I'm sorry! ;_;

[machinator]

It's okay! ♥ Jan will do stuff soon. I think what I reaaally need to do is re-evaluate what I am and am not comfortable with having him do, since that's been silently bugging me for a long time now. D;

[congenialsinner]

No worries! It sounds like you have a plan, at least, and plans are good! :3
