    The point is, giving a character a crapsack life is not "bad writing."

    That's not bad writing, that's Creator Breakdown.

    The OP was asking how someone with a sword or a gun could be godly. I pointed out a Norse deity renown for his hammer.
  4. Ah... that's the way the Djinn are....

    Thor is known for his hammer, Mjolnir.

    Dear god... is there ever going to be a StarGate video game?
  7. If I recall my Quantum Theory correctly, just about every possibility can exist in the infinite branching outcomes of human behavior. Some alternate realities are supposed to closely resemble ours where few things are changed and there are other realities where things can be so radically different that we'd likely never be able to recognize it.

    Man, this reminds me definitely of how much ****-age that Spidey's received through the years.

    Did I miss Imperious being evil somewhere?
  10. Because "SyFy" hates sci-fi. That's why they changed their name and started airing wrestling and all that other crap.
  11. Well, so far it's only downloaded once for me.
  12. Yeah, the Menders really know how to dress stylish.

I've yet to run into anything in this game that I can't complete, most of it in a duo, and TFs with a competent team - not even an expert team, just a competent one. I just don't get the point of making our characters godly powerful... in order to do what?
    Solo Hamidon.
  14. God is that art ever ***-ugly horrible.

    Grant Morrison, eh? Figures, he's always ****** superhero titles like this. Somehow he'll think he's being deep and meaningful when really he's just vomiting all over the characters. Maybe ages ago he was good, but now he's just a hack.

    I think I like her better dead.
  16. FF6 is superior to all. Praise Kefka, may his reign as God be everlasting.

    I just haven't had the opportunity to see it. I usually wait for the cartoon movies to come out on video because I hate theaters filled with screaming kids.

    Then why so hung up on web shooters? Because that's just a detail yet you're using that as the major reason of why the Spider-Man movies were bad (which they weren't).

    You may think you're commenting on quality, but all you're screaming is "THE TYRANNOSAUR DOESN'T APPEAR IN THE END OF JURASSIC PARK!! WHY DID SPIELBERG PUT IT THERE???"

    so the powers it has can be random (some of the oddest combos ive seen are a peacebringer/martial arts clone lol)
    That wasn't the question. The question was why the gremlins were WHITE.
  20. Hm... looks like faulty clones can customize their powers too.
  21. Oh, you're one of those sorts of people. No matter how good the writing, acting, and camera shots are, "everything has to be exact or it sux."

    Are you from Pluto? Those movies were great.

    That took place around 11:30 am EST. I played a bit just now and logged out and no auto-launch of the updater....so...it seems they took the pre-download offline.
    Yeah, I got that error message too. Glad it wasn't just me. Heh.
  24. I wound up with a "bad file request?"

    It's called bleaching. Dying is making it darker.
