    Considering her batcrap doesn't necessarily mean no love. See also: Deadpool. (Not in that way.)
  2. Oh hey, it's Noomi Rapace. I look forward to seeing how she does portraying a character who is not batcrap out of her mind.
  3. My title character has a habit of dressing up for Halloween in an outfit specifically designed to irritate his pal Positron.



    He's been doing it since at least 2006, though he wasn't completely satisfied with the costume before he could access Auras. (Yeah, I mean, the real Anti-Matter's visor doesn't do that... but it should. )

    They're gating the new incarnate powers behind 15 E-Merits each, which is really stupid so I'm leaving
    Hmm.

    Let's see. I don't use AE, I don't do trials, and I'm not bothering with the Incarnate system. I guess my options are basically to:

    a) Jump on the Indignation Bandwagon anyway in a show of solidarity; or

    b) Not give a damn, with the understanding that I am slightly risking a Reverend Niemöller Moment later on.

    I think I'm going to have to run the risk and go with b) here.

  6. Please note: Depending on your local jurisdiction, it might actually be illegal to do that second part. This is how absurd life has become in the twenty-first century.
  7. What really caught my eye there was the offhanded mention of a Spectre TV series in development. I mean, wow! That couldn't possibly suck!
  8. Oh, man, the bat aura. Talk about your things that seemed like a good idea at the time. Sounds really cool; in practice, it's more annoying than people leaving that PBAoE power with the bubbling mud hot springs effect on in Wentworth's. (Although, admittedly, at least it doesn't have a sound effect.)

    Yes. There needs to be the option for one or more tropical fish.

  11. Mind you, it's not the first time. Dude's like Michael Jordan with his Joker voice.
  12. It was intended as a freakish and disquieting B-scifi prop, the Think Tank, but since they included the option for "no brain", I was able to turn it to a more humane and wacky purpose. This pleases me.

  13. Actually, in the case of Street Justice it's been like a week, but your point is taken.

    This makes it particularly annoying that the new Signature Story Arcs do that "lol, I'm really a TF, ha ha" thing.

    See, to me that doesn't sound interesting, it sounds annoying. Just like the snipers in Founders' Falls and Peregrine Island aren't interesting, they're annoying. It might be different if there were anything to do inside missions other than fight, but since there basically isn't, aggressive interruptions to travel are just extraneous fights on the way to other fights. Pfui.

    Who's played Skies of Arcadia? How'd you like those random map encounters? Yeah.

    Or, in a comedy superhero romance comic, he does have her number, but he doesn't realize it's hers, because he got it off Megan Duncan at a nightclub shortly before he had his Origin. Awkward hijinks ensue!

    C'mon, really? Next people will be asking for a trainer in the sewer. And one inside the Incarnate trials.

    This oversight must be corrected immediately.
    Quite.

    Also: being able to put proper heads inside the Think Tank = finally having that 1950s space suit I've wanted since launch. See to it!

    Is this where the picture of some animation character looking skeptical with the caption NOT SURE IF SERIOUS goes? I'm not fully conversant with what the young people are doing on the internets these days.

    Er... yes. Hence "you're not finished with them yet".
  23. Was it just me, or was Coulson way more of a tool in Thor than he was in the Iron Man films?
  24. ... you're not finished with them yet, right? 'Cause right now I can't make, e.g., a minotaur wearing a bowler hat and a monocle, or a tiger man with a mohawk and mirrorshades, and I have to say that's really a bit disappointing.

    Oh. Well, then, when in doubt, assume it's broken.
