See how much better that sounds :)

One thing I like about being in a country that doesn't celebrate Halloween, the fact the supermarkets keep trying to push it, it fails and then all the pumpkin/ghost/ghoul shaped chocolate is put on drastic sale so they can clear the shelves for Xmas stuff.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

What!? Every country celebrates Halloween.
Australia don't. And those who do in Australia are pariahs, cast out from the populace. You know trick or treat? In Australia it's we gonna trick and 'treat' you if you come knocking on the door. Houses don't get egged and TP'd - Trick or Treaters do.

I tried it... didn't like it that much. I've heard a fair few people say it was great but I fail to see how. It feels gimmicky to me and kinda meh. Of course, I did only get to the house and explore before I stopped playing. Trying to leave got me destroyed by whatever-her-name-is. Never trusted her, she seems evil. :shrug:

I mean, I can understand why people like it, I just didn't myself. Maybe I'll try playing more later but just thinking that fills me with high levels of 'meh, don't wanna'. XD
I can understand, it's easy to get into, Especially once you clear past Toriel, but when you get stuck on a fight, my god does it take something to get back in after you've closed down.

I'm walled on Undyne currently, true pacifist run.

Once I met the skelefont bros I was in and I will resume it when i have time. Right now though exams aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Assuming you're not being facetious, most countries don't, and those that do don't include the giving of sweets to children in costume. That one is pretty much enshrined in America from its Scotish origins and only picked up in certain western countries as a US culture copy. The Celtic origin celebrations still happen in some parts of the UK and Ireland, but generally they are more about remembering the dead than trying to scare your neighbours.

Pretty much, Australia's got no business having Halloween but i will support the corporate push of it because damn it sounds fun.

Like the only thing Australia's witchhunted are sharks and dole bludgers.

Oh and the original owners and Natives of this land but hey welcome to the club along with every other supremacist white country.

America>Masoamericans/Red Indians
Australia>Aboriginal Tribes
England>Indians and Scots and virtually every other European Anglo-saxon country who didn't believe in God.

I know exactly what you mean, over here there was a great consumption of sugar and chocolate skulls, but all the shelves with halloween-themed stuff remained mostly untouched.

We've had a few trick or treaters over the last couple years. Nothing too scary about anything just gotta make sure to tell them to avoid McKlennan Rd as they may get candy in the form of knives there. That's Lismore for ya.

Since living in Brisbane we've not had many but then I slept through last Halloween and this Halloween I've been living in a quiet suburban area.

Incredibly quiet and brimming with the air of solace, it's kind of a dream come true actually, the only people who make noise are my window-side neighbors in the very rare occasion they have a bachelor party. This is at most 3 times a year.

Otherwise it's just dogs every now and then. No ratty kids or psychophant neighbors it's just really nice and calm here.

If I want excitement the city is only a couple public transport fares (and about an hour and 15 minutes of travel) away.

Quite a few people around here celebrate America's consumerism. Still I don't have children in scary masks singing at my door.

That my housemate was giving out candy to our neighbour's children on Saturday night tells me that we definitely do celebrate the "American style" Halloween in England, even if it isn't as super-popular as it is in America.


It's been about 5 years since I was back in the UK, around about this time and I didn't experience that, I imagine it just depends on where you live. It was in the shops, just not on the streets.

Well we do have a lot of creatures that can kill you, some of which actively seek to do so, so yeah, it can be.

Actually, America's been pushing back a little bit. You don't see trick or treaters like you used to. You don't see trick or treaters the way you used to. In fact, one year, I think I didn't give away any candy. I had made my own wizard costume and everything. I was Yen Sid from the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment of Fantasia. Haven't been in the mood to dress up these past couple of years.

Here, there are actually people who poison and sabotage candy and then hand it out to trick or treaters. People think it's an urban legend, but it really isn't.
Fair enough. XD

Still, I'll just say I enjoyed what there was of the game. That said, finish Kiddos! :\/

(in before 5 years pass and you show another sheet to show why you didn't finish Kiddos and I'm pushing for another game to be finished instead. ;p )

Except it is bar a handful of cases, but they were aimed towards their own family members, using the cover of anonymous candy to try and kill. So, yeah.

Oh no. When I was a kid, my parents found booby trapped candy in my bags for two separate years: one had broken glass the other had a needle jammed in it.

When my family used to celebrate Halloween, we would ALWAYS spread out the candy we collected to look for anything suspicious.

Crazy shit really does happen on that particular day. For instance, there was a news report in New York, New York of a car that veered off into the sidewalk and killed some trick-or-treaters.

Coincidentally, I once found a balled-up piece of news paper stuck in my candy with this particular story printed on it.
