Stay Frosty Progress Frostiness is now a quantifiable trait ranging from warm to ice-cold. The frostier you are, the more benefits you get, but the more danger you are in to end up rolling on the Going Apeshit table.
For my purposes it's an escalation of tension and awareness. If the stress gets to you, you might panic or make a last stand like Billy in Predator, etc etc.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)

ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's adapted from the Stress mechanic in Perdition.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've seen of this! Is there more detail somewhere?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't "stay frosty" mean "don't freak out"?
ReplyDeleteIt seems weird to me that "being frosty" would make someone more likely to freak out.
