Quote:The beta RWZ was overmax. I'd say, all things considered, it went off without a hitch. Lag and Super Mapserve issue aside. I can't thank you enough for conceiving of it let alone getting it to happen. You have given and given and I hope you understand you are appreciated for everything you've done for us.Originally Posted by ArcanavilleHowever, if the players just want to get together and have some fun, fight some stuff, I would be willing to jump into the zone and serve up a heaping scoop of NPC. Tell you what: I'll "seed" the zone with some stuff, and we'll see if anyone wants to take a shot at them. Having spent the last month on a carefully scripted, structured, *sane* event, I'm up for a little crazy.
I would love for there to be some activity in beta RWZ for people to feel like they're part of it. I was fortunate that I participated in the Big Event.
Thank you.
Thank you.
A thousand times, thank you. -
The first two episodes are available at KorraNation.com!

Quote:I only have a couple of characters I consider tied closely to canon. They're already filled with rage and sadness that Alexis is gone and it's something of a sucker punch that Statesman follows so soon after. He's not just an icon of heroism and justice, he is the icon. He was supposed to live forever. His truest ideals were supposed to be forever. People and other heroes come and go, the life of the city ebbs and flows, but always (well, since 1931) there was the Statesman.Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
When the city was in trouble, he was there. When [my character(s)] weren't sure what to do, What Would Statesman Do? But in the end they didn't realize something Marcus Cole could never forget: He was just a man on the inside. He could lift a building but inside he was just as human, just as imperfect as any of us.
[My characters] are angry now, sure. And they'll have their time to grieve too. But watching that video made me realize this was as happy an ending as there could be for Marcus. Thank you for sharing it with us. -

Quote:Very weird serendipity. Having just read this part in the book today, it's definitely from there. Though, you're right, it should be Grandpa and not Daddy.Originally Posted by Dark_Respite
If that's a reference to the FREEDOM PHALANX novel (and I really think it is), it should be "Grandpa, can you fly to heaven?" (From the conversation Jessica has with Marcus after Monica Cole's funeral.)

Here's one that usually gets overlooked in thrads like this:
Zero Effect
Starring Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller. It's a good couple of steps on the quirky side. Pullman plays a private detective named Daryll Zero. It's not big on action or bombast. It's a little subtle, a little cute but it's also got a lot of heart. -

Another smashing Tuesday evening with a bunch of Tankers! Thanks so very much for organizing this event.

I, among others, thought this movie would be a soul sucking abomination. I hated the previews. I hated the costume. I was wishy washy about Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan.
I can't necessarily call myself a fan of Green Lantern comics. I only sort of know stuff by some kind of nerd-mind osmosis. But I did consider the Green Lanterns a fairly large influence on the DC Universe. This was an important movie for WB/DC to get right. Finally, something besides endless Batmans and tired Supermans for fans to enjoy and people who like movies where stuff happens to be exposed to.
I'll stand by my words saying Ryan Reynolds could be a good Hal Jordan (what little I know of the character). He does a fair to good job with the character he was given. I dont' care for the character they are saying is Hal Jordan, I think it's fair to say they missed the mark in that respect. They (the producers, I assume) were hoping to cash in on Reynolds' ability to play a seat-of-his-pants charismatic person when that isn't who I understand Jordan to be. Despite his silver age beginnings he's as four color, arrow straight as they come. That said, Reynolds played what I thought was a pretty good first human Green Lantern.
The costume was the costume. They didn't change anything from the promotional pictures that I can tell. But I will say that it wasn't as distractingly atrocious as I thought it would be. I still have my problems with it, especially the mask part, but it wasn't the horror I thought it would be.
The best news of the bad news is that all of the stupid stuff (or at least a heaping portion of it) was limited to what we've all seen (and hated) from the previews. There is some hoakey cornball stuff spread throughout but it is, thankfully, limited.
Now, on to the better good news and maybe some of the not so bad news.
Overall, I quite enjoyed it. As I said, I expected a bad, if not the worst, movie. The story was adequate enough. WB/DC did not mess it up. That is the best of the good news. It's not a great movie, but it was good. Everyone turned in a good performance, Mark Strong's Sinestro was the stand out. (Tim Robbins as Senator Hammond and Angela Bassett as Amanda Waller [!!] weren't utilized as fully as I'd like - especially Bassett.)
This won't be a surprise break out hit. It won't win any awards. But neither do I think the nerd rage and derision it's suffered already is warranted. I have to give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars. As a semi-fan, it wasn't bad - but even better than that - it was pretty good as a comic book movie. Entirely appropriate to that genre. Espeically if the nadir of comic movies is something like Batman and Robin. Fans of the series shouldn't be afraid to see it though I leave shelling out the cash to your discretion. (Note: I saw the 2D version.) -
So... when you tell this story, will you say your Dam boyfriend finally asked you the Dam question and gave you a Dam engagement ring?

Possible Spoilers. Just, you know, FYI.
Quote:I understand, and to some lesser degree, agree with everything else. While it's certainly possible that the winking and nodding at the audience (us) is close to, at or even over the line (a subjective line if ever there was one), I didn't pick up this last bit at all. No one mentions anything about the duo's gender and certainly no one blaims the couples annoyance on the fact that one of them is a woman.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
