Alright, I'll give it a go.

My dad was kinda hard to match. He's the guy you will watch a movie with or ahng outwith and constantly try to be the funny man. However my dad has a bit of a short fuse and has been known to be kinda harsh sometimes. My dad has a great amount of intelligence though this temper comes into play when trying to solve the thing with no answer.

Despite all this My dad will defend someone in his family to the last bit if he knows they have been wronged, even if he doesn't like them.

I could be completely off on this since I don't know much about comics, but to me my dad strikes me as Deadpool. Except a bit more caring.

I liked GK's answer best, I can really identifiy with that type of personality, in a wierd way my Grandfather had a bit of that in him. I once saw him punch his best friend in the mouth for calling my sister fat. I didn't understand it, I asked him what it was all about because he called her fat all the time, he said "I tell her she's fat so maybe she'll realize that eating that way will kill her, he called her fat because he was an a*****e, doesn't give him the right to insult my family". The next day him and his friend were back at it drinking whiskey and having a good time as if nothing happend.

So being that having Deadpool for a Dad I found downright hilarious, Rorshach downright disturbing, and Homer meh thats too obvious, I gave the award to GK. Gratz GK, and unlike a responsible Dad I will say "go spend your reward foolishly" for his effort he got a billion reasons to go spoil himself.

What hero is your dad most like or what hero would your kids say you are most like ?

My dad took off when I was 2 weeks old, so my Grandfather raised me, he was the kind of guy where if you did something good, he would not say a word to you. However he would go to the bar and not shut up about what you did. The first deer I shot he just acted nonchalant about it, never moved from the car and told me "you better get tracking it judging from the look of the blood it looks like you hit it in the lungs". I tracked it for about a mile and found it laying in the corner of a field on the top of a hill I gutted it and carried it back. It wasn't until his funeral when I found out from one of his friends how he shot his mouth off about what I did for weeks, how I shot the animal from 400 yards, tracked it for a mile, and carried it back to the car.

if I was to say there was a hero he was like it would be Vigilante . If you asked me daughter when shes older what hero I am like she would probably say I was like this guy but I am hoping she will say I am like this guy.

Thanks to my good friends in game for calling me and wishing me a happy fathers day. My wife was amazed.


So being in a good mood, I am prepared to give an amazing prize, possibly like one never given away befor in game, to the best reply to this thread.

The only thing I can think of is that the DS may not be set to "Auto-obtain IP address" in the wireless security settings. Thats the only thing I can think of other than obvious WEP/WPA security key being incorrect.

What NOIS didn't tell you is that on his way back he got into a terrible accident and his car was totaled

Hey, I have a question. Is is "allowed" to ask for someone to pay for a month of CoX in the forums FOR you?

While I appreciate the thought more than you can imagine, Moldy, it's just that I can't get my PC online...it's in a room with no means of connecting...;o.k., there -are- 2 ways, neither of which would be pleasant, and I'm not sure 1 of them would even work...:

The 1st is to have the old phone jack in the room reactivated and have a new DSL line installed; this would be the easiest way, but it makes no sense to pay for installation and 2 months of service whereupon I'd have no use for it once I leave.

The 2nd could involve a USB wifi adaptor...we have a router in another room that the PC I'm typing this on now is hooked into...and while my Wii can pick it up fine(the Wii is configured to 'read' it), I dunno the router's WIP info and have no means(or even HOW to) of getting this...and would this even work in the 1st place?

[/ QUOTE ]

if your wireless was setup by your service provider, call them and ask them to help walk you thru it. If it is not from your ISP there is always the owners manual or look up instructions on the manufacturers website. If you need a USB WiFi adapter send me a PM , I have a few new in the box lying around. For as much of a great help you were to the SG , hero and vill side, back in the day , it's the least I can do.

Thats pretty good Bode, I didn't want to have to get ugly but it looks like I am going to have to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLp0I...eature=related

and I don't know anyone who is uglier or rocks harder than the immortal Lemmy of Motorhead.

Summer, it's all about loud Rock and Roll, fast cars, and waking up not knowing where your pants are.

this song sounds best sitting behind the wheel of a '67 Ford Mustang fastback after banging thru all the gears of a close-ratio 4 speed Ford toploader with the Hi-Po 289 singing at about 10,000 RPM.

Brings back memories of me and a friend racing down I90 from Albany to Boston to get some beers and see the RedSox play the Yankees. "I don't know how fast we are going but the needle is pointing at the odometer".

I'm playing this build. It's at 20 now, and I'm finding it a lot of fun, solo or team (aggro management had a steep curve). 12-18 were tough, but the addition of the second rain made it much easier to play. Most of the slotting is what I think I'll do, not what might be most efficient.

I guess the best question here is what are you going for , single target or AOE. PVP I would say go single target, so stay away from frost breath. I wouldnt 1 slot my stamina, not unless you want to see 30 seconds of action befor all your toggles drop. tornado is an autohit defense debuff, amazingly good for arena vs stalkers or in Warburg, it does minimal damage and not worth slotting up for it, a good defense debuff set I would say. I would stay away from gale as well not sure what mag knockback it is but I don't think its all that affective. The nice thing about steamy mist is that you can slot resist in it as well as DEF its a good place to slot steadfast res/def as well as steadfast knockback resist. I always take Black Scorp on my Corrs, the def of steamy +steadfast res/def+ scorp shield as well as the too hit debuff of hurricane makes you pretty hard to hit in PVE. Most of the AOE's of ice are not worth slottiing for damage, 3 damages on a power that maxes out doing ticks of 1's gives you ticks of 2's , better off slotting for end reduct and slow. All the AOE's in ice are brutal on your END. Snowstorm is also and END hog, 1 end reduct in it is not enough , slot up with tempered rediness if you are on a budget. Another thing about Black Scorp patron is web grenade, huge in pvp you can squeeze out freeze ray , web 'nade' , and freeze ray again in about 4 seconds, and thats one held dude. Just some suggestions, I will have a build for you when I get home from work...1.5 hours

I have had a lot of success with sonic / thermal, Black Scorpion patron set, web grenade of course. All around great support in pvp, pop buildup, melt armor, and SR or DEF based AT's get thier guts stomped into the ground. Slot your fireshields with damage/ range hamis , it improves their resists as well as the range you can use them on allies. I am a big fan of heat exhaustion , I love it because its a debuff that sneaks up on you, most people never realize they have been hit by it until they have no END. Sonic I only took 3 attacks, the heavy hitter , the second power (I forget what they are called) , and the stun slotted up with a purple set (dirt cheap). very support oriented and your teammates will love you and your whole bag of tricks.

I have a 50 ice/storm on Pinnacle, they are an end hog, while everyone else was roling VEAT's I rolled a stormer. I frankenslotted thunderstrike/tempered readiness 4 t-strike / 2 tempered for the +REC but still it is a monster to feed. I slotted up Tstorm with end mod sets and it hits like a truck, get 2 storms out and it doesnt matter how much recovery you have , it gets drained quick. I had quite a bit of luck with it in PVP, finished well in a tourney. I will post my build.

I always wanted to make a traps , but all my characters are based on some kind of concept and I didnt see anything that connects well with traps until now.

grats to..

Omicron Cypher
Troglodyte
Anya Nastasya
Triple XXX

Gratz to DeathCyclops and to ME! my character Parallex on hitting 50. I am certainly not done playing him , healing is too much fun, and I need to see what epic healing badges there are to get.

gratz to NoFX (zee magicia) on hitting fitty.......beat you link

Grats to Dragon Tank for being the first WWE member to hit 50 last night

[/ QUOTE ]
dammit link you beat me to it.

world wide evil base, somewhat recent

now that the defenses of stealth powers have been decreased in I5 by about 50% will there also be a corresponding reduction of thier end cost ?

want suitable replacement for burn ? anyone hitting a fire tank takes fire damage. make it a toggle, end of the whining. your changes to burn sicken me.
