    Thank you.
    It was in the highlights thread, as posted by Zwill himself:

  3. I would'nt change anything other than to remove the PC altogether.

    And, well, I might have an epilogue where a midget carries Statesman's body into the land of Mordor to hurl it into the fires of Mount Doom.

    Oh dear, I'm thinking in text again, aren't I?
  6. I haven't really liked any of the Underworld movies I've seen. And like the other ones, I'll wait for this one to come to Netflix streaming or TV before even considering watching it.

  9. I unfortunately haven't seen a number of the Hartnell, Troughton, and McCoy episodes (PBS mostly only showed Doctors 3, 4, and 5 and it was rare that I'd catch a 1, 2, 3, 6, or 7 episode even during marathons). I wish Netflix would put them up for streaming.
  10. The brief time that Unstoppable is active is the only time Invulnerability feels worthy of the name to me.

    No. It's a super hero game that grew a villainous tumor.
  14. Perhaps, given that it's a theatre, it's a slightly-improperly-timed sign for Ronald Reagan's movie "Kings Row"...
  15. Of the three you give, Sam, I'm afraid I only recognize the one involving Wretch. And given how long ago I must've done it along with my notoriously spotty memory, it must have been very well done to leave such a lasting impression.

    I take it that Tendaji's death is in the RWZ arc and I'm not sure I've ever progressed that arc far enough to witness the event in question. However, my recollection of him seems to be as 'that annoying guy I have to save' so I'm not sure if I would be touched by any moment involving his death.

    Whether "tender" or not, though, I like moments when they make me care about an NPC.

    EDIT: In all seriousness, the more I ponder that, the more I find myself annoyed by it. Heroes don't give up. Fighting until you are incapable of fighting has always been a hallmark of "hero."

    What should have happened:

    Statesman gets hit with the bolt from the blue. It initially drops him to his knees, his skin cooking. Slowly, he forces himself back to his feet, step by agonizing step he makes his way to Wade. Costume long burnt off, most of his flesh turned to charcoal, brain being cooked, he gets his hands around Wade's neck and THEN drops dead at Wade's feet.

    That's how a hero acts. He doesn't say, "ahh, screw it, this guy may have murdered my daughter, endangered and caused pain to my friends, let someone else deal with it. Maybe that baby-eating, cigar chewing, devil guy will save the day."
    In the end, I'm not sure Statesman was a hero so much as he was going through the motions because he thought he *should* be a hero.

    Red is dead?

    In my experience, red side has always had a lower population than blue. Some will even cite that as a merit of playing red side. I wouldn't be surprised if the population has gotten even more sparse since the ability to switch sides came about, not to mention the ability to just *start* with most villain ATs on blue side.

    At the end of the day, we run a business. But we strive to run it in a way that's fair and places the needs of the Community at the forefront of our considerations.
    Just remember what Spock said: The needs of the Tenzhi outweigh the needs of the few or the one.

    I'd prefer to stand still, or walk leisurely along, or sometimes I might even prefer to turn around and go the wrong direction.

    I feel the same way about being unable to use them with robes. I really just want a decent kung fu sash, for which that sash could pass.

    Stupid, ravenous children that can't be potty trained.
