Also going the buddy-cop route, but a semi-parody. Think Lethal Weapon with Max Payne narration voice-overs, and a dose of Jackie Chan circa 1985 Hong Kong physical comedy.
My partner is someone like this.
Me, I'll be something like Tony Jaa.
And the director of photography? I can't find the right video, but the guy who captured this in flight? He had an elaborate wire rig that let him fly and film the snake from the air.
That's right. No wires for me. Wires for the cameraman. -
The title of this is idiotic.
In the situation the OP describes, the gender of the account holder(s) has nothing to do with the right thing to do in the situation.
The right thing is, of course, communication. "Okay, I get the account, you get the coffee maker." Making sure that everything's clear about the breakup will help to make the transition easier.
If the account is now yours, do what you want with it. Just remember to change the password. If ownership of the account is still debated, don't delete your former SO's characters, because that's really a jerk move. -
The OP will be able to do it a lot cheaper, as long as they keep Storm Kick in their attack chain - 10% buff to all defense types is a nice bonus.

Invincibility is the power you're looking for.
Also, take Tough. -

Eh, when i accepted the EULA i lost my right to assemble. No more model kits or IKEA furniture for me.
There's seriously six marines in my bedroom right now, and I have to cook them dinner. -

Zombies meander around looking for living things to eat
Vampires are undead super soldiers that are experts in stealth and have been around for centuries/millenia and use a range of weapons to take out their enemies
How is this a fair match? -
I'm rather disappointed that females didn't get the male belt as an option.
I do like the Barbarian sword - would love to see it ported to Dual Blades. -

Quote:No, they say that, by agreeing to the EULA, you stating that you ARE sane.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
Really? They are saying to agree to the EULA, I must be sane.
I agree.
I also agree that I am a Heman action figure.
See the problem yet?
If you aren't, well... you lied, how were they supposed to know? They were acting in good faith on your agreement to the EULA, and your assertion that you are sane.
So, when you go into massive addiction to the game and lose the borders between fantasy and reality, it's not their fault. And you can't sue them over it.
Simple. -

You know what?
I can't even agree to the EULA...
Am I in a fit mental state to do so?
I dunno sometimes I think I must be mad, since I don't have a psychologist report stating I'm sane, can I prove that I'm fit enough to agree to the EULA? Will Paragon pay for an evaulation? -

Quote:They actually redid a fair bit of the animation in the second and third movies, after the first was a hit. It was 30% of the second film and 70% of the third that were original animation, according to the little book that came with my DVD box set. The rest was taken from the show as it aired.Originally Posted by Mr. DJ
didn't know that
thought they were original movies -
Quote:To be fair, the Inca did ask themselves if Pizarro and his men were gods - before deciding the answer was no. And that was before any major battles were fought.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
Actually, many natives did fight - on the Spanish side. Cortez didn't take over the whole country single handed. The Aztecs were conquers, and Cortez managed to make a lot of allies with the native tribes the Aztecs ruled over, figuring the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The notion that Cortez was seen as a god is a bit controversial, specifically because the only source for that bit of information seems to be Cortez. But it does not appear to have been a determining factor in any case. -
I should break out my DVDs one of these weekends. Thanks for the reminder.

Quote:It's exactly like all those other times the Romans declared war on supernatural beings and sent a couple of legions after them.Originally Posted by Durakken
The ancients had a whole different concept of "gods" than what modern day theists call god. The things that they called gods could be killed, weren't omnipotent and there were many gods and many pantheons. There wasn't "one true god" and there wasn't "one true pantheon." People could become gods or were gods or were sons and daughters of gods. Not to mention their outlook on life and the afterlife was different as well. All Romans went to the same place. If you died courageously or some such you got to go to Elysium which was just a separate area of the same place.

Quote:Yeah, but the Marines carry antibiotics, and the strains that would exist in the Roman world would not be resistant. Doesn't do anything for viruses, of course, but having modern sanitation, treated water and antibiotics would mean that the advantage in disease resistance is definitely in the Marine's favor. Having access to Navy corpsmen who know a thing or two about modern medicine isn't a bad thing, either.Originally Posted by WildClaw
Not being a doctor myself, I'm under the impression that a lot of the innoculations and immunities we enjoy are against the versions of the diseases that exist now. That the diseases from a hundred years ago, let alone two thousand years ago are likely different enough from their modern counterparts to be a serious problem. Take influenza for example, there are hundreds of different strains of influenza running around now and they have to guess as to which version to innoculate people against every year. None of these versions even vaguely match the versions that would have been running around Rome at the time.

Quote:I thought the Marines were being dropped in around 24 BC - which means they'd have roughly 18 to 19 years before it could be an issue.Originally Posted by Durakken
Funny thing there might be a massive morale issue that people don't realize...
A lot of Military are religious, in particular Christian. That time period would be where they could easily find evidence or be shown how wrong they are and it is almost 100% certain someone will come up with checking it all out or trying to stop that from happening... This will result in finding out what the truth is and some having their entire world view completely rewritten. How this would play out would have a big impact on the morale of the Marines. -
Quote:And the point of Cowboy Bebop is not the story arc; it's the character arcs.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
It had great characters, decent action, nice art and animation, great music, and interesting episodes. And it got to the point and ended pretty quickly.
Most of the time when people are complaining about filler, it's in an anime that goes on for hundreds of episodes and the often lengthy filler interrupts the ongoing story. -
Quote:How, exactly, are you dropping an entire MEU on Rome without the resources to establish a beachhead? If you've got all those marines and equipment assembled in one place (no small logistical feat), and they're going through the portal device on purpose, they're going to take as much fuel and ammunition with them as they can. If you're having the ships carrying the MEU randomly hopping through the portal, they'll still have enough.Originally Posted by Durakken
You forget that Rome is a very big area and the Legions are camped all around it. No matter what you do you are going to have to hit one side then fly to the other. and that takes a lot more fuel than they'd likely have.

Quote:If the Marines stay in one place, sure.Originally Posted by Giant2005
By replacing their losses with more men?
If the Marines had a limitless ammo supply or if the Romans were going to be intimidated by the technology and bow down, this thread and this conversation would be pointless. I have to assume those two variables are false.
I was assuming that they'd start moving immediately and roll some tanks down the streets in Rome within a week.
I'm sorry, I just don't see how the Romans can take out a tank, especially one deployed with an infantry screen.
I won't assume that the Romans will be cowed, and I won't assume infinite ammo. I will assume that they're bringing roughly fifty tons of ammunition with them, though. -
Quote:Tanks.Originally Posted by Giant2005
The Romans could fairly easily and safely confine the Marines by surrounding them and waiting in cover. If the Marines plan to eat, they would have to give up their position and their fortification and move within range of the Roman's where they will not stand a chance.
Mortars.
Helicopters.
They're walling in the marines how? -
Movies should not have patch notes.

What is it you fans like about Cowboy Bebop?
I watched the entire series (not the movie though, had no idea one existed) and found the entire thing to be so boring...
Each episode was pretty much stand-alone with no overall plot until the very end of the series. The entire show was literally filled with "filler" episodes.
