Ohohoho! You asked for it now! It's 6 am, I haven't slept and it's on now!
Haha, European time is the best time. ^^
Patently untrue! Subtext exists in the phrasing of messages as well! If I wrote, "Dante sure has a large sword," you could, if you chose to, see that as me implying something about certain private measurements! However, my actual text only talks about his sword! Subtext is simply anything you choose to read into, beyond the most basic surface meaning. (In fact, it's a kind of subtext that you assume which Dante and which sword I'm talking about!) Subtext is crucial to communication, but it can be easily misunderstood!
(Don't get on this subject. My mom is a Communication scholar and I had to edit all her work.)
Fair enough, you win. I do admit though, that this part of the post was simple naysaying for the hell of it.
Since it's all subtext, we can't really know what NT meant, so I'll just drop this point. We understand what we "heard," but we obviously read it differently, so that's that. I'll concede that you're probably right. I can be stupidly oversensitive.
That's quite ok, you obviously don't know CoolDemon. Thank god, that guy is on my ignore-list.
Bah! Fans are pansies! And anyway, they'll be unhappy either way, so a better strategy would be to convince those that want to be convinced - and those people don't want to keep hearing about Old Dante. (I still keep reading a sort of mild implication that the new version is superior. I don't like that, so I wish they'd stop talking about him.)
There are more of them, then there are of us. Keep that in mind.
Nero wore a long coat too, but he jumped around quite a bit, so I saw plen.... Er. Well, anyway.
And I'll have you know Kratos had some truly amazing thighs way back when!
You need help.
Lara was also quite sexy, even with basic polygons! Ivy... meh. Too much. Now Sophitia...
...I feel like I lost the thread of conversation there.
What was your first clue?^^
