I\'m thinking about splitting the stuff in at least the Books/Games folders into their own page. Thoughts?

EDIT: Actually, since there\'s a lot of duplicate entries in the General/Books/Games folders, (plus the fact that the games and EU are becoming more integrated), I\'m now thinking that we should first re-merge those sections, then split them again into A-Z pages.

** SenorCornholio: I like Gravity Falls a lot, and I can even find some good in the above and below entries. Heck, my entry for this page, \\\"Roadside Attraction\\\", is more weak than anything else. The plot of this episode involves Stan taking Dipper, Mabel, Candy, and Grenda on a road trip to sabotage the other tourist traps in Oregon as a cruel prank which, thankfully, comes back to bite Stan at the end of the episode, so he\\\'s not totally free from karma here. Before that though, we see that Dipper still has Wendy issues, and Stan decides to teach him how to talk to girls; at first, his methods seem to work, and he ends up making a few friends. Even Candy begins crushing on him. Now, I can see what they\\\'re going for here; \\\"don\\\'t be a playboy\\\". I respect the episode for that much, but my problems come in around the second half; they make it to their final destination, Mystery Mountain, and Dipper begins to have doubts about the way he\\\'s been talking to girls. Problem is, he didn\\\'t really do anything romantic with them yet, and soon he and Candy are put together on a walk into a...Mummy Museum, where they\\\'re suddenly confronted by three of the girls that Dipper had talked to. This is where my first problem with this half comes in; one person going to this attraction would have been an alright coincidence, and two would have been slightly pushing it a little, but three? If that isn\\\'t contrived, I don\\\'t know what is; Dipper could have just been confronted by one of the girls, and that would have been the end of it. He\\\'d have realized that he was wrong, Candy would have been disappointed like normal, and Mabel and Grenda wouldn\\\'t hesitate to call Dipper out for his leading Candy on which, at the very least, is somewhat justified as Dipper did pretty much use the act of talking to girls as a way to forget about Wendy, even if he didn\\\'t mean to lead any of them on. Meanwhile, we cut to problem 2: Stan tried showing Dipper before the above incident that he knows what he\\\'s doing by talking to an employee named Darlene, who as it turns out is a [[BuffySpeak spider-creature-thing]] and the mummies in the Mummy Museum are her prey. She lures in men who have false confidence and wraps them up so she can feed on them. In my opinion at least, the episode really didn\\\'t need a monster to escape from. I mean, it\\\'s kind of a Gravity Falls Staple, but it just seemed unnecessary and, dare I say it, artificial compared to the other villains like Gideon, Bill, or Giffany. If I can say two positives about this part, it\\\'s that Candy pulls an impressive [[ChekhovsGun Chekhov\\\'s Gun]] with the brochures so everybody could escape, and she and Dipper do amend their friendship at the end. That\\\'s about all the good I can say for this one; it felt a little sloppy, and it could have been better placed before the introduction of Ford where everything starts to pick up. Finally, though this only adds to the moment by a little bit, they end up leaving Soos in a corn maze. It provides some good jokes on his part, but it was a little bit too mean-spirited for me.

Is there something I\\\'m doing wrong? This hasn\\\'t happened before, so why is it happening now?

Now I\\\'m having another problem. I tried to post my moment, but it wouldn\\\'t stick. I did this twice, but the entry wasn\\\'t there. I managed to cut and paste the entry in case there\\\'s anything wrong with it.
