Sci-Fi Horror Short Film "Operator Ep. 2"

An old EQ tale:

I was invisible and running through the Karanas one day when I noticed a young gnome near the gypsy camp. He was fighting a lion and though it looked like he would win the battle, being a fellow gnome, I decided to help the guy out.

I targeted the lion, clicked on my mesmerize spell, then started to type: "I'm mesmerizing the lion for you." I got as far as: "I'm " when I remembered that I had replaced my mesmerize spell with an Area of Effect mesmerize spell... and that I was standing next to an NPC enchantress. Gulp.

My movement keys are mapped to "w a s d" so I frantically stabbed at my keyboard, trying to MOVE and interrupt the spell.

I forgot that I was in typing mode.

The gypsy enchantress didn't like my attempt to mezz her so she promptly charmed me [IE Mind control] and made me go after the gnome I had been trying to save. I watched in horror as my peace-loving character, knife flailing like a crazed sushi chef, chased the little guy down and stabbed him to death.

I found my victim later and apologized profusely... I even gave him a nice weapon and a piece of armor. He was great about it, and laughed when I told him what happened.

He said he didn't know WHAT was going on. One minute he was fighting a lion, the next minute a strange gnome appeared out of NOWHERE, announced: "I'm wwwaaaddd", then sliced him up like Freddy Krueger.

RIP

Al Matthews, the real-life military man who portrayed the no-nonsense, cigar-chomping Sgt. Apone in the sci-fi horror classic Aliens, has died. He was 75.

Jesus, this is just misery heaped upon horror.

That must have been like a horror movie for her. . . cow, cows in the dark, so many closing in, the moos are deafening.

Dude, Cohen can be funny, but the motivation is to reveal the stalking horror amongst us. The darker the horror, the harder to do actual comedy, because, let's face it, knowing we have legislators that think that arming toddlers is a good idea is seriously unfunny stuff.

What's tearing this country apart isn't an impending impeachment, it's the crowdsourcing of sensationalism coupled with rampant confirmation bias. We're all intently focused on whatever supports our currently held beliefs and hits us in the feelers with a nice dose of rage/fear. In a country of 300+ million and a world where EVERYTHING is recorded, there are plenty of three sigma outliers and circus barkers for us to entertain ourselves with. The downside is that, like walking to your car after a horror movie, we are influenced by the entertainment, made worse for those of us who buy the line that this is the TRUTH of the world.

Talk to your neighbor. Question a persons method, but never question their motivation.

The horror.
He must have balls of titanium to be able to keep his cool under that viscous assault.

Well, that would have certainly added to the horror.

Oh god.... what did that poor kid do to deserve this?

Pachebel's Canon? uggggh.... the horror.

The unemployment rate in the black community has always been 2x higher then the national rate. I give this guy a nod for acting in a part that is not a drug dealer, pimp, crackhead or the first person to get killed in a horror movie.

I'm not really a fan of straight-up horror movies. I don't have anything against them, they're just not my thing.

(Honestly, I'm a big scaredy-cat )

But I have heard good things about CITW, so I shall man up and watch it from behind the sofa.
