The highlight of the game is when the Pyramid Head takes out your best friend, and you, in a haze induced by the unreality inherent of Silent Hill, carry his headless corpse all the way back to camp, where it fuses with your artillery store and becomes a giant bullet-spewing monster who's defeat teaches you a hard lesson about yourself and the nature of reality. Then aliens come and rape you in the ass with a probe.
lol that's not too much, i'm just a big baby. :PQuote:

When I say "I'll come at you like a spider monkey", what literary device is that?
Is it just a simile, or does it have some other name?
Simile, not metaphor.Quote:

i beg of you, bring back the HANOGUT! PLZ!

Onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like what it describes. Like "vroom" or "bang" or "darth sucking ass".Quote:

In language, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin rhetorical trope) is defined as an indirect comparison between two or more seemingly unrelated subjects that typically uses "is a" to join the first subjects. A metaphor is commonly confused with a simile which compares two subjects using "like" or "as". An example of a simile: "He was as sly as a fox." In the simplest case, a metaphor takes the form: "The [first subject] is a [second subject]." More generally, a metaphor casts a first subject as being or equal to a second subject in some way. Thus, the first subject can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second subject are used to enhance the description of the first. This device is known for usage in literature, especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context are associated with objects and entities in a different context.
I'm not Sprung, but never sounds like a good enough answer to me. But then, I'm an asshole, so what do I know?Quote:

Also, thanks Cyber for clearing that up.
But I am still not sure about what that phrase would be classed as.
I'm sure it is not just a simple simile.
To hell if I know. I just ganked that from a Thesaurus, or was it a Dictionary? And for that matter, do you even capitalize the first letters in those words? And also, what the hell is it that I'm typing? To me, it seems as if it's all a bunch of random characters, the result of a furious mashing of the keyboard at random, but wouldn't that be insane if this all meant something?Quote:
