    I may begin to feel that way if Incarnate stuff moves into the realm of readily achievable for me.
  2. I was thinking Statesman should turn the tables on the Well and take it over.

    Indeed. I was bothered by that and the presence of elves at Helm's Deep.

    No weirder than it started out, really. Before editing, the OP indirectly made it clear that functional male genitalia were essential to knowing/making good movies. The references to neutering merely continue that opinion trend.

    I'd say it's better than the sequel by far. The premise is absurdly impossible, of course, but there are days when I've believed seven impossible things before breakfast.

    Nolan's sense of aesthetic has a way of inspiring anti-confidence.

    Ah, the extended versions. When I got them I watched them all back-to-back in one sitting. I think I managed to cram in a few of the documentaries/extras as well. I made nearly a literal day of it.

    I agree with this assessment of the Freedom Phalanx.

    However, I've also rather enjoyed all the SSAs thus far.

    That's been my experience with most teams, whether in Trials, TFs, or Story Arcs.

    I'm glad that the SSAs are solo affairs, because I get to read the story and clues that way. If there's any story to TFs and Trials I've participated in, I never got the chance to read it.

    I seem to be alone in my enjoyment of this series. Possibly because the only knowledge I had about X-Men came from animated shows, so the changes didn't bother me as much.
    I didn't dislike that series until Juggernaut.

    For me: James Doohan as himself being mistaken for Scotty greatly eclipses all of that. I'm not sure any other movie has so thoroughly taken me out of the story as that one moment did.

    HTML 5 is going to be supporting video, not 4. =/
    I was concerned when I read them talking about Adobe discontinuing Flash, but when I did a quick Google search it looked like they were just discontinuing the version for mobile devices, which doesn't affect me since I have none.

    I'm not sure they ever truly got 'serious about the whole superhero thing' in Smallville. They had some episodes bordering on decent, superheroically speaking (and IMO, of course), but I couldn't pinpoint a particular season for it as that show was of what I'd call sporadic quality. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a better 'superhero' on a regular basis than the 'Blur'.

    If the only good thing I can say about a movie is that it was rational, then I've got nothing good to say about that movie. I've been entertained by irrational stories and bored by rational ones. Rationality is not a measure of entertainment.
  16. The more I look at it, the more I think the character model would look better if the colours matched the drawing.

    It beats going back in time to save the whales. Or going back in time to kill a "white whale".

    Happy Solstice!

    Why is it happy? Did you just wash and wax it, get it an oil change, or something?

    I'm a straight guy and I don't see it. And I think the "Whole New World" song from Aladdin is about sex.

    I'd have to take your word for it, as I haven't paid close attention. All I know is that every time I make a new character I get bombarded with a stream of 'badge received' messages that goes on so long that I begin to wonder if it has glitched.
