It'll be your turn someday.
    Five hundred times this.
  2. Bacon Sandwich is also a very important noise for a child to master.
  3. True, the server-wide events were logistic nightmares. I would say "that was part of the fun!" but I wasn't one of the poor sods trying to organise everything.
  4. I only met Shae once or twice in-game, and never in person like some other people here have done, and I never met her husband, but I want to extend my heartfelt condolences to her. The loss of a loved one is always hard, and even more so before their time. I'm not a religious person, but Shae and her family will be in my thoughts.
  5. Guys, don't let Mondo see you posting stuff like that, he'll lose his rag!

    ~*~Tiz FRIDAY~*~

    I actually really liked Thane's character design, both character-wise and appearance-wise.

    You don't see any real physical interaction with him and femshep either when the romance subplot is completed, but you do see them kiss... which I choose to believe means that Shepherd spends the rest of the night vividly hallucinating as professor Mordin warned might happen when a human comes into oral contact a drell.
  8. More than you'd think, you know. Probably it's just that they can't draw attention to themselves like you do 'cause you're taking up all the moral high ground.

    I know this thread was called "showing off and self promotion" but I think that was for the OP, not just anyone who comes along...
  9. Sent something to you via PM, Wassy. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but if it turns out to be useful, then that's cool.

    Hi RPers!!!

    I like that use of the word fact.
  11. The way I've often approached mutant stigma and etc etc etc is that the norm for outside of Paragon City is your usual angsty mistrust and so forth. I figure most people in Paragon City are waaaaaaaaaay over that by now. What with the Rikti and all.

    And depending on the character, the whole "Earth for Humans" thing can go from "bad wording" to "you f---------b------ssh----ph----iftc---rrrrftftft------pp-----eric bigots."
  12. Why did I just have a mental picture of Kanye West?
  13. Seeing as Questionable Content has already been mentioned (curse you again!) I shall throw my oar in with the Adventures of Doctor McNinja.
  14. Curse you, mousedroid, I was just about to suggest that!
  15. My apologies if I spelled it incorrectly, then.

    Personally, I'm kinda looking forward to the 12th/13th regeneration moment. Wondering how the writers at the time are going to work out a new cycle of regenerations from the Doctor. I mean, obviously, we know it's possible *Looks at the Master* so it's no stretch to keep the franchise going... I'm just excited to find out how it'll be done.
  16. Well... if the Master's original "last" regeneration is anything to go by, the 13th Doctor should be a suppurating skeleton held together by the barest margin. Sexy!

    Blueside is dead

    I haven't seen Mondo post in this thread in two days, therefore Mondo is dead. Discuss.
  18. See, I still disagree. To my mind, Jack ONLY changes when he's seen as the Face of Bo. They may as well be two completely separate characters.

    As to the whole... theory of the immortal mortal thing.. well, you really can't say you're worried about it being angsty when you look at the attempts at nods towards addressing it. The wartime sweetheart in Torchwood that has grown old in the Faerie-themed episode... the (great?)grandchild in the 456 three part special... It's all hugely overblown, removing all subtlety from the pieces. And yet he bounces back seemingly moments later. It's all very well saying that he hides his pain behind a facade, but I just don't get that impression. Barrowman's acting just... isn't nuanced enough for me.
  19. Ahh, accusations of pedorasty. It's just like I'm reading a red-top British newspaper.
  20. Different kinds of radiation, I believe, Cien. In the Smith and Jones episode they said it was Roentgen radiation, which is basically what is used in x-rays. Not lethal even to normal humans except in massive, massive doses.

    Whereas I presume the radiation from The End of Time was more on the level of nuclear reactors and what have you. Very very fatal to humans, and presumably moreso to Time Lords too.
  21. This is the problem, though.

    The way he's been written, it seems like even being sealed in a coffin and buried under the earth for (I think) four hundred years does almost nothing to his character. (See the end of Torchwood season 2.)

    There's a scene or two of angstiness, and then he seems to reset to neutral. I don't mind the CONCEPT of the immortal man, it's the execution that irks me.
  22. Colin Baker suffered something similar, I believe.

    A real shame, 'cause if you hear his Big Finish audio adventures, he really comes into his own as the Doctor.
  23. Well, at least now the heroes have a massively convoluted and overlong cape mission to make up for the Midnighters Club unbalance issue.
  24. Personally I was a fan of Sly McCoy... but then, I am a child of the 80's, so I'm biased.
  25. You mean "voila" not "wah-la."

    On a non-pedantic note, good luck, Virtuites!
