  1. I've never found "just wait and see, I promise you'll love it" to be very reassuring.
  2. Some people have such funny definitions of "viable".

    I'll definitely watch it. I wasn't complaining about the WB involvement; it looks non-intrusive.

    If it does well, you can look forward to the Hollywood remake. <.<

    Edit: Maybe I should have paid attention to the Warner Bros logo...

    Now I'm wondering how Electrical Melee and Dark Armor would look for a Storm theme... time to check the character creator.

    I had never heard of this, although I've seen 12:01 with Jonathan Silverman, which IMDB says is a remake.

    Or did I? (As long as we're belaboring the joke...)

    Don't forget his "The Mangler", which came before those.

    For some reason, DA buffs melee and lethal, not smashing.

    The recovery looks decent, but don't forget your accolades.

    And no longer earning experience until you finish and exit the tutorial, so that's an academic distinction only.

    That's the last reason to do it. You can get that level faster around City Hall in Atlas. You might have to go a little farther in Mercy.

    Did you use the door to the rooftop, or jump/fly/etc? When I went to the building at ground level, the waypoint switched to Nadia.

    Hunger Games started stronger than it finished, in my opinion. I was disappointed in some parts. No spoilers, of course.

    Not complete, but there are more similarities than some people admit. Still, the execution, if you'll pardon the term, is different enough.

    I thought it was violent enough. Maybe other people are just more jaded. <.<

    They didn't finish what they started, but then there are the sequels to consider.

    I think that's a fair assessment.
  17. What an interesting title. <.<
  18. It's still single-target. Here is a list of what was changed.

    She was no Tegan Jovanka.
  20. "Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl."

    Random, baseless speculation: she's the daughter of the Doctor and the TARDIS.

    I wouldn't worry about it. The author said that Michael Mann was making the movie he (Mann) wanted rather than what the author intended. I haven't seen anything I would call animosity other than that poster's opinion.

    By the way, for the trivia collectors, there was a short story called Demonsong that featured the main characters from the Keep in a fantasy setting, published two years before the novel.

    Before talking about what you've done so far, I should point out that it isn't finished, and ask what your goal is.

    It's probably been suggested before, but shouldn't it be Lions and Tigers and Bears?
