User blog:Fablefire/My opinion on shipping.

Hey guys! During my talk on the chat room, a subject had risen: ships. This blog post is inspired by that one topic. Now, we are out of the way with the intro, lets move on to the nitty-gritty! My start with "ships" is a little strange... Shadow the Hedgehog anyone? Well, ok, here is the full story. I bought a game called Shadow the Hedgehog for the PS2, and so I popped in the disc in my PS2, and I let it load... so behold, the intro. From what I remember, Shadow is standing by a tree looking at a city, and remembers a flashback. Shadow and a girl, named Maria, is running through the insides of a space ship. A soldier soon comes in, drawn his gun, and shoots Maria. This part of the scene shocked me, as in I "wowed", not turn into Jack Thompson. At the time, I did not know that a game could pack a dark piece of story telling in a E10+ game. I then played the actual game. After my session with the game, I talked about the scene with a old friend. During the conversation, my old friend joked about how Maria got cooked up and eaten after her death. Years after my playthrough of the game, I looked up the subtitled Japenese version of Sonic X on Hulu, and I watched the episodes about of course, Shadow the Hedgehog. The episodes fleshed out the back story of Shadow the Hedgehog, and talked about Maria. Again, I thought this piece of story telling was pretty good. To this very day, I think it is one of my favorite parts of story telling. And kids, that is my start of shipping. Well it is not exactly shipping, but it at least I was probably talking about Shadow's relationship with Maria, right? Ok, down to my actual opinion on shipping. I think shipping is pretty tolerable, just don't over do it, where people will be raging at you, or smelling grayish stuff, with 50 kinds. However, I think the best thing about shipping is making them! I remember when I made my first ship, Big Destiny and Phil Face FTW! Or FP x Max Damage! I think that shipping is something to get a laugh out of also! So kids, that is my start, and opinion on shipping. After you read this, please tell me what you think!
