    If he can round up all the big names in horror for this, I will be there opening night.


    I love campy movies.

    The rumors on Saw 8 are still going around, but I would rather they wrap it up with Saw 3D.

    I remember a short story involving a genie and a wish that did a twist on that.


    Genie: What do you want? Riches, Women, Power? I can even give you immortality.
    Man: No! You’ll twist the wish so I keep growing older, but never die. My body will fall apart.
    Man: I know how to beat that. I wish for Eternal Youth.

    The Genie turns him into a 3 month old infant (Eternally), with full awareness of what has happened to him, but unable to move or speak.


    Genie: You have 2 more wishes; you could undo this wish, if only you could still speak.


    Another person wished for Agelessness & got turned into a statue.



    What would be the correct way to word the wish?
  4. Mission Maps with windows like Pocket D would look fantastic for an underwater setting.

    The tileset can be adjusted depending on whose underwater base it is (Council, 5th Col, Arachnos, Nemesis, etc…).

    This is what I’m looking forward to.

    Pre-packaged meals might be the best way to start off with.

    My Cuisine deLight also makes calorie controlled, low fat meals.

    Once she lost control of her powers, that is exactly what happened.

    As seen here, third page in.

  7. Spleen (Mystery Men) - His power is Superpowered Flatulence. Nuff said.


    Scuzz (DP7) - his body constantly secretes a highly corrosive acid & it is also present in all of his bodily fluids. He is unable to shut this power off.

    He can never touch someone without horribly burning them.


    Elle (Heroes) - Every time she comes in contact with water she gets electrocuted, including when she takes a shower.


    Resurrection Man - he has to die in order to get a random power when he revives, this power might be powerful & useful or minor & useless.


    Super Fuzz - basically has powers similar to Superman, but loses all his powers every time he sees the color Red. A weakness a few criminals find out he has.


    Ma-Ti (Captain Planet) - The power of heart is supposed to instill caring, passion, and sympathy into the people of the world to care for the planet. I don’t think I’ve seen an episode where that actually worked.

    Of course, How else do explain him being smarter than the average bear?
  9. I would like to see Synthetic Hamidon Origin Enhancements added to the Alignment Merit store for an amount on par with the purples.

    I would even be happy if the store offered Synthetic Hami-Os Recipes that requires 3 rare salvage plus 2 uncommon salvage in order to turn it into a Synth Hami-O enhancement.

    It would be cool if the outdoor AE mission maps had the option to obscure the borders of the map, then buildings wouldn’t be seen beyond the map.



    If the Devs wanted to go the extra mile, allow us to choose what the border looks like.

    (I.e. Cliff face, Wall (metal, rock, ice), fog, shadow shard sky, jungle, etc…)


    Then if the mission designer wanted to set his mission map on a radically different world, there wouldn’t be any geography in the background (Pargon City buildings) to contradict that.
  11. Heavy lift Airships that are multi-level floating luxury hotels (similar to the Aeroscraft) would be a good mission or TF/SF/Trial map.

    And it would provide a welcome change of scenery instead of the standard warehouse or cave map.


    Here are some pictures of what I had in mind.











  12. I thought the TV version of “The Net” with Brooke Langton was much better than the movie it was based on.

    If the network had promoted it, & didn’t preempt it so much, it probably would have done much better in the ratings.






  13. My favorite would be the space station from Moonraker; I like the idea of a huge city in space.

    I would throw in a throne room like this, of course.

    That would be my second choice.
  14. Even mid-level magic or psionics would be devasting to Earth Heroes who have no defense against it.

    But as soon as you have someone who is high enough to do either a Wish, Miracle, or Reality Revision the fight is over.

    It gets worse with Epic level magic or psionics.



    I would love to see Batman's plan for a Momento Mori.

    Shadowy presence

    This power is as useful as the guy from Mystery Men, the one who could only go invisible as long as no one looked at him.
  17. Which Scifi/Action/Fantasy Villain Lair do you find to be the most impressive?



    From Volcano Bases to Floating Sky Citadels, Orbital Space Platforms to Underwater Empires, Impregnable Fortresses to Subterranean Strongholds, and Sub-Zero Arctic Stations; which one do you like best?


    Feel free to list from any source. (Films, TV, Novels, Comics, Anime etc…)

    Have ghostly arms pulling down the Ghosts or Zombie arms pulling down the BP, have the NPCs scream as they get pulled under the ground (it can sound similar to the carnie death scream).
  19. Crey’s could use a re-vamp with added contacts & missions (Crey, Vanguard, etc…) & additional Zone events.


    If Vanguard is going to extend their presence (and possibly give out missions/story arcs) from the RWZ into Crey’s Folly to fight the Rikti; then perhaps Villains can be given access to the zone, & they can enter thru the reopened RWZ/Crey’s gate.
  20. A recent discussion I had with my friend John.


    John: I hate that actor; I couldn’t stand him in Napoleon Dynamite.
    Me: Michael Cera wasn’t in Napoleon Dynamite. That was Jon Heder.
    John: I also didn’t like him in Zombieland.
    Me: That wasn’t him either, that was Jesse Eisenberg.
    John: (Exasperated) Well!! What was Cera in?
    Me: Superbad.
    John: I hated that too!
    Me: …

    I’m still ticked off over Tribes: The Dog Years.

    Once IDW offered to publish the comic as a graphic novel, the creator immediately cancelled the webcomic & closed the forums.

    If you want to know how it ends, you’ll have to shell out $16.95 to find out…I’ll pass.

    And I do mean any of you! Tell me!


    Order of the Stick - great writing, I love the personalities of the characters (yeah, that includes Belker), & I’m a huge D&D fan.

    Goblins - When the comic started, the writing & the artwork was weak, but once the group reaches the city everything kicks into overdrive (a huge improvement in both the writing & artwork).

    anti-HEROES - The creator is a huge fan of Order of the Stick & did his comic in the same style.
