Uh, well... I had quite a lot, too... i knew that i was playing with my whole life and that I could pay hard for this game. But everything turned out quite as I hoped and now my life is perfect. I am not quite through, but I am done with the first big step. - I hope it's the same with your life.

Oh... yeah!^^ So... ^^ I still think MadMax is the one and only steampunk. Yay!^^ I don't really like the story of the films, but the stile is just what brought me first into contact with steam and punk - and so of course, when I think of steampunk, I think about wipers on your back, crazy hairdues and a lot of trash, connected with halfly damaged machines. ^_____^ But of course there is this "finer" way of steampunk aswell... and that's good, too. ^^

hah! Okay. I'll get mysef some Wells books now, because you made me curious. ^____^ In fact my father is a big Wells fan aswell... he was sooo angry, when I made fun about the film of "War of the Worlds" ^^

Well... whatever. ^____^

ah!^^ I did not think you would answer anymore. wink wink wink
Well... whatever. First I'll answer to your "talking to a wall"-thing, because I don't actually know if I can manage to answer the other message today. (I haven't actually the time to read it completely by now) ^____^

When I read "talking to you is like talking to a wall"... the only thing I did was shrugging my shoulders and saying to myself: "Many people said that to me in the last view weeks."
So maybe you are right, without wanting it. wink
I laughed when I read the second message, where you wrote that this wasn't even supposed to me. wink

... Well self-reflection comes without warning.

In my opinion I was never mean to you - and this dialog between us has nothing to do with my avatar, but only with your words that "Mad Max is not Steampunk".

I only gave back your own words just as you said them to me.
So if you say I am mean, you only tell me that you are, too. wink
And in fact you were the one using the word "a*****e", so I wonder who is more impolite.

But just to clear the air, I say sorry if you felt insulted by my words (because I really don't wanted to make you sad) and I really hope you'll do so aswell, because you were not even better.

But now back to the real interesting point...

Steampunk:

I never said Mad Max was the FIRST SteampunkFilm.
I said it was ONE OF THE FIRST, which mainly influenced the scene, because it's still that popular (and even known by persons who are not involved in that scene.)
I did not even know Mad Max was that early ..... the only thing you were telling me in your long story about steampunk history is, that Mad Max REALLY was the first (released) steampunk film.
And this words just make my point stronger.
- Mad Max is and was a big step forwart for steampunk. It was one of the first steampunk-films and it still belongs to that scene.

If you try telling me Mad Max is not steampunk at all, you really should give reasons, because I am still of another opinion.

And... well, this is another point but:... H.G.Wells... he is the "father of SCIENCE FICTION" ... not the father of steampunk.
I only know him by books like "War of the World"... that's not steampunk.
So calling H.G.Wells "father of Steampunk" is just like saying "greek legends are the reason for Harry Potter"...
In fact, H.G. Well gave the FUNDAMENT, because he invented SciFi, but the real important thing is, what the different authors made of it.
I say this, because I don't know any REAL steampunk book written by Wells. So if you can show me one I will maybe change my opinion in this new case. I am not a specialist for H.G.Wells to be true, but always interested.
