Can someone please reduce the length of his name? It screws up my browser because it is so long and is really quite annoying.

i think if he wants to have it that long, why not?

Not really annoying but not exactly nice. If you please, short your name.

Because it might screw up some people's browsers and it's good common courtesy?

I like Neil's new titles, but if they screw up some people's browsers, eh.  Yeah.

Title: Re: PUR
Post by: Bara on October 30, 2007, 08:06:44 PM
at first, i didn't. But, i went to a book store, and saw it on a book.
Title: Re: PUR

But you don't know him. You've never read his books. I recommend you rectify this problem doubleplusquick.

I may be sketchy on this, but he wrote Fear and Loathing in LV and created Gonza or Gonzo (can't remember) journalism. The cover of the movie adaptation of FLLV is a warped image of a persons upper torso, so that's where I think you get the avatar, as I don't know of any other images associated with him which have that specific art style.

nope actualy its just one of the many pieces of fan art.
Title: Re: PUR
Post by: Bara on November 01, 2007, 08:01:52 PM
i have heard about Gonzo, but i dont know much about it.
Title: Re: PUR
Post by: Myroria on November 02, 2007, 12:34:40 AM
I'm so surprised.

Gonzo is a type of journalism that throws facts into a fictional story.

Just plain Gonzo is where the author is mixed into the story. The only example you would know would probably be Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events".

Hunter S Thompson also chose to be completely plastered/stoned/twisted theorizing that in that state one would record the true essence of the story. The end result was a bunch of scribbled gibberish that made no sense, so I say he was pretty much accurate in his reporting.
