I've always liked 4chan's solution to this problem where you create link(s) to reference the post(s) you're replying to, and a post automatically creates links to posts that reference it. Clicking these links takes you directly to the post in question, or just hovering your mouse over them will either highlight the post if it's on your screen or pop up a little window with the post if it's not. It makes it easy to follow specific threads of conversation, find the context of the post you're reading, or find out who else weighed in on a certain topic.

I don't see this being any more effective than regular arrows. If they're armored such that regular arrows are ineffective, I can't see you getting anything into their eyes. If you shoot enough, maybe you can irritate their lungs some, but I can't see it doing anything meaningful. While it's a cool idea, it doesn't pass the bullshit test for me.

You mean Tydirium? I'm still waiting for that to come out. Anything that can claim to be a repeat of IFOTOS, on the other hand, would be amazing.

I'm going to second Tom and BDA here. It's more important for the details to serve the story then vice versa. Unless you're writing super hard sci-fi, no one is going to get mad at you because your math doesn't check out. Don't feel beholden to my math and speculation if it's getting in the way of your story. I was going to type more here, but I realized I was just repeating what Tom said in different words, so just go read his post again.

Edit: I will add this: It's ok to tell us about your world, the details you give us help bring it to life, but do it in a natural way, and don't overwhelm us. We should learn about your world the same way we learn that Tattooine has two suns, or that Coriscant is all city. No one sits down to have a conversation about it, it just shows up in an establishing shot and everyone just treats it like it's normal, 'cause to them it is. Those details are an important part of bringing a world to life, Tattooine isn't really the same without it's twin suns, but they're backstage to the story taking place.

Because you said Neptune, I used actual Neptune to do some quick and dirty math. To have a 30 day orbital period our "moon" has to orbit at about 1,000,000 km. This makes our gas giant have an angular diameter of about 170 arc minutes, or ~ 6 times larger than the moon. This would roughly mean that an eclipse would last about 6 times longer, for a max of about 45 minutes when everything lines up and you're standing in the right place. As for how blue it would make your nights (and, potentially, at least a little bit, your days), use your imagination, I feel like you've got a significant amount of artistic license there.

EDIT: And to add, just in case you don't know, your planet is tidally locked to the gas giant. The above only applies to the gas giant facing side of the planet. The other side will have uninterrupted days and very dark nights. And is probably colder, I think. And gets hit by more meteors.

This is a good point. The original impetus to use all the same camera was so that some shots would not be of a noticeably different quality than others. Should this even be a concern? What camera would you recommend? We're planning on getting Hero4 Silvers for our GoPros.

My understanding is that the newer GoPros have a not-wide-as-fuck mode. I've never worked with one, but I think that should work for this? I wish I had one to mess around with.

Now that I've been listing to them for a bit, I'm finally going to attempt to rank these. Let me do a quick preface though: When I get critique-y I tend to start sounding really negative. This is because I tend to focus on the things that could be improved instead of the things that are awesome. So, before I start, let me say I fucking love this album and want more. You did a great job!

1. Limp-Dick Christmas Lights

Everything just seems to come together perfectly in this song, and it feels so... Teague. I love it. I could do without the spoken stinger at the end, but that's probably just me.

2. Writing a Letter

Jesus Teague. I expected songs like Christmas Lights and ICPoS, but I did not expect this. I expected you to make me laugh, not almost make me cry. And I love it. This convinced me that you're not just a gimmick, you really have to chops for this (not that I thought you were a gimmick before, this just proved it).

3. I Feel More Like a Leonard

With it's guitars and backing vocals, this song feels like it wants to be epic, but it's less than 2 and a half minutes long. It kinda feels like you didn't have a way out of the song so we get these odd, out of place "Hey!"s over a guitar solo to end it. Get rid of the "Hey!"s and have it epic guitar solo into another verse or even just the chorus again and I think this song much improves.

4. This Insidious Communist Propaganda of Steve

What? Why do I have this fantastic song way down here? Because it way overstays it's welcome. Half of this song is Andy's drunken ranting, and while it's funny, having now listened to this song a significant number of times, I find myself just waiting for the song to end for most of it. Part of it is that he's not actually louder that the lah-da-da-da's so he's hard to understand and part of it is that he's just not as funny the 12th time. Is cutting it worth missing out on the fantastic hilarity that is this song the first time you hear it? Probably not. But he could have been made easier to understand, and maybe he should have kept it a little shorter.

5. Blank Walls and Crowded Shelves

It feels like a disservice to put any of these songs last, but something has to be. I liked this one the least when I first listened, and since then it has really grown on me. Here, I think, is why: You're telling us this story, but it's from a disconnected 3rd person view until we get to the locket. Then the song swells and switches to the first person with strong emotions that invest us in this story. But at this point we're already most of the way through the song, so it's not until the next time that you listen, already invested in the story, that the song really works.

Over all I think it's great, especially for a first effort, and I can't wait for the next one. Which I would totally help Kickstart if necessary.

Man, why is I Feel More Like a Leonard on the bottom of everyone's lists? It's the one that lodged itself firmly in my head and wont leave. Seriously, I should be charging it rent or something.

For some reason the casualness of the statement after BDA's manicness gave me a good giggle. Care to announce the release date?

I'd like to point out that crossguard lightsabers aren't new:

More or less my reaction:

Poke. Poke poke poke.
