    You know what would be nifty and creepy at the same time?

    If Coulson had been an LMD the whole time.

    Meaning there is no "real" Coulson, there's only the Coulson series Life Model Decoy.



    Also, am I the only person to think, "Okay, the portal device is shielded. Is the tower it's sitting on also shielded?"

    <cue Stark shooting at the doohickey, seeing that it's shielded, then blowing out the floor under the doohickey>

  2. Would Nu-Khan retain the ability to remember the faces of people he's never met before?

  3. I say get Adam West back and do a musical version of Frank Miller's Batman Returns.

  4. A simple request:

    Have a Dev check in here once and a while?

    If nothing else to let us know whether or not these wish lists are a waste of time.

  5. Er, why would you use accnt lamps when the Shift key let's you loft floor items directly?

    I mean, I can see using a Floor Tile to make repositioning the cubicle easier, but the days of floor safe or accent lamp lofting are over, man.

  7. Simple, zero thickness wall and floor elements like the Floor Tile, but double sided.

    Ideally re-using the existing texture patterns. Wood, white, rustic, gray, cherry, etc.

    In like 8x8, 16x16 sizes in addition to the 32x32 Floor Tile.

  8. I personally try to maintain a minimum 12' height. The largest characters are 8' tall, but an 8' ceiling tends to feel cramped.

    That's pretty much 3 floors, maximum, due to floor thickness.

The old one we got to see a fair amount - moving around, doing things, etc. The young one? Not so much, I recall he stood around, partially hidden in shadow in a dark room! I don't think our CGI, even with unlimited budgets, can really get us that far yet.

    So yeah, I can't see them even attempting that route either.
    The TRON effects were pretty decent but still looked a little artificial at times.

    The commanding officer is back too, despite having been reduced to little chunks in the first movie.

Illyana was going to recieve the power but Colossus took her place, at the last minute. He then went back to the battlefield and fought Worthy Cain, defeating him.
    They didn't have to do a whole lot of beseeching, actually. They just let Cytorrak know that Cain was getting power from ANOTHER god besides him. Cytorrak was all like, "Oh no he didn't" and stripped the power from Cain pretty readily.

    Cyt is a jealous type, apparantly.

    Immortals?

    Still... I'd say Immortals did it better.... considering the position of the arrows shown in the air seemed more accurate. He fired them much faster. lol.
    Well, considering the guy in Immortals didn't have to actually draw arrows from a quiver, that's not surprising.

    Nah, if I rent it out for virtual money which I can then convert to real world money, it has plenty of value even if I never step one virtual foot into it.

    If he turns while peeing he could cut the top off the building!

    Again, I have greater resources available to me than you do.

    Gimme a little time and I'll pull an answer for you.
    Hi!

    Been more than a year.

    Any news?

  19. Doom isn't evil.

    Well, most of the time. There have been a couple of aberrant episodes.

    Doom usually just has an agenda that runs counter to the heroes.

    In fact, Jean Grey has at one point mind-scanned him, and realized Doom hasn't got a truly evil bone in his body.

    He just honestly believes he needs to be the one running the world because he's the best man for the job. He thinks that under his rule, all of humankind will achieve a perfect utopian society.

  20. Well, it seems that a large amount of the people recruited for the colony were not chosen for their intelligence. You're living an a place where nearly every creature WANTS TO KILL YOU. So, you... traipse off into the woods in small groups and go swimming.

    Also, the mini-pterodactyl episode was numbered 1-03 on my cable video-on-demand. The memory-erasing virus episode teaser is numbered 1-05. Are they skipping episodes?

    Avengers Teaser

    Eh, I wasn't discussing what *I* believe, just what the dev team at the time was giving as reasons for the two year delay in the game's release.
