    You know I wonder if posting pics of the cohosts would get moderation >.> It would be within the rules as far as I know as long as we're not comparing them physically.
    And it creates a way for people to check out her news via more than one resource. I could see somebody setting it up to where stuff from their site got send to Facebook, Twitter, and any other social networks. The reader just has to pick which network they are going to get the info from.

    We have a winner. Cera is doing nothing to help promote this movie in terms of star power versus Expendables has a who's who list of action stars. Expendables also comes across as being, "Dude, we got to see it" regardless of how bad it was versus SP being a rental type movie no matter how good it was.

    Micro-review: Scott Pilgrim is amazing. The Expendables is mindless, explosive ride, but decent.
    Grabbed this from a site by somebody locally.

    This is a video by Leslie and the Lys, it is my submission for Awesomely Bad Music Video
    I figured one of theirs had to get nominated. It's rather high ranking for me in terms of music video that leaves me in a fetal position. I'm still waiting for somebody to pick the first video that came to mind when this draft was announced though.
  5. Odd. I thought he got contracted to NBC for a series when he came back to for Heroes. I have no cable so I'll wait to see it via other legal means.

    On the bright side, he does get beaten up a lot.

Always the most irritating 20 minutes of the day.

    Avengers 2?

    One of the people, if not more, who signed a contract for the Marvel movies pretty much locked in the idea that the Avengers movies would go for a trilogy.

    You using a tool like Wordpress, or Drupal to create it, or is it 100% you? I was suppose to have a 100% done by me one up after my vacation, but life got in the way.

I have..thinking...3 Kin defenders with two 50s leveled the old school way. I just really never find room for Aim in a Kin build and have yet to say, "Boy, I wished I had Aim." I could see fitting it in for a Kin/dark since it really lacks(IMO) outside of the four basic attacks, but /dark doesn't get Aim. I also think Kins spend so much time using the Siphons, Trans powers, Fulcrum, and attacks that Aim is just another power added in and I would rather not add to the list when I have too much to do now as is.
  14. If you are going without Stamina and want some toggles, you'll need to be adding in end reduc slotting. Transference isn't going to be saving you enough to counter that. All the more so if you grab Hasten and a Kin/elec really benefits from having Hasten.
  15. Gah, keep forgetting to add stuff.

    For TV...

    Dexter. Season one of Dexter was maybe as good as I have seen.

    The Wire. I haven't see The Wire yet, but it just feels like anybody who has seen it consider it the best show ever.

    Freaks and Geeks. Only one season so it will be easy to get though all of it, but it's a crime the show only went one season. To think NBC had that much talent on the show and let it get away from them.

    First, I have to add one I forgot to list before, True Romance. It's written, but not directed by Tarantino. The Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken scene alone is worth renting it for.

    Sunshine Cleaning was good, but not great. I have a soft spot for Amy Adams, so it helped. She was amazing in Junebug, but the rest of that movie didn't do enough for me.

    Loved (500)Days of Summer expect for one thing, but that one thing is a huge spoiler....






    No really, if you haven't seen the movie and have some desire to do so, avoid this part.

    I can't accept that during the 500 days she has this affair with this guy and then even before the 500 days are over she's engaged to another guy. Add is her personality and it's just too much of a cheap shot to prove a point for me. Yes, I know people who got engaged after knowing each other a rather short period of time. I know a couple who got engaged three months after meeting and are still married years later with kids. The twist still doesn't sit well with me.

    Pan's Labyrinth
    3:10 to Yuma
    Hard Candy
    Anything by Hayao Miyazaki, but Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are the two most recommended from me.

    Tankender??????

    Traps, FF, Dark, and Storm work for tanking. /dark works as well since it has tohit debuffs and you can toss in something like T.T., or Dark Pit to further help mitigate damage.

    The AoEs are working as intended.

    Alternative answer: All of the above.
    Your definition of soloing quickly is rather different than mine.

    Dark only has one toggle and it doesn't have to be used due to the sheer amount of tohit debuffs Dark has. All the more so after one gets Fluffy.

    As I said... "going crazy".
    By the time you can use PBU you are able to soft cap a team with normal bubbles and Maneuvers. There's really no/little need to PBU + FF outside of a mission and then rebubble immediately inside of it. Before getting to 22 for SOs, then I can sure see stacking bubbles as being worthwhile.
  21. Dark Consumption and Soul Drain are really not needed on a Kin. The Dark epic is the worst epic for Kin. Life Drain is just another waste. All the more so when you 6 slot it while T.T. and Nightfall are given 6 slots combined. You have Siphon Power 3 slotted and yet Fulcrum gets 2. I don't think taking, or at least 5 slotting a snipe is worth it when Gloom is 2 slotted. Yes, I know you get a nice recharge bonus out of it. You can still get a good one out of Gloom as well. I would leave ID with one slot and move those others into more needed areas.

    You will get some boost to damage via the new inherit. I'm not sure I would still considering it significant damage, but that depends on your definition of it. If you went melee, Fire/rad would be great with Plant. Since you want range, Ill/rad would be the ideal. Toss in PA and then have them use Seeds. This being if you want to go controller. Even with a defender, you shouldn't have that much of an issue.
  23. Just holding newbie CC's would be worthwhile as well. So many of the best looking characters are people who have 50s and have been around. Let's see what no vet badge, or 3-12 month vet badge players can do.
