  2. No Brannon Braga and Rick Bermen with people who actually understand Star Trek. Then yes, I think a show would work.

    Bermen's and Braga's ideas were horrible and Enterprise they should be in Sci Fi hell for eternity.

    Prequel series do not work and especially with Star Trek. With all of us upset over Lucas's prequels in Star Wars, Bermen and Braga thought hey our hate was a good idea if we hated Lucas's idea we would love Enterprise. Not that we hate rewritting our favorite stories and history. They even told George Takai, who wanted to do a Captain Sulu Adventure Series which the fans supported that Prequels do not work. So George told all the fans this with a conjoined letter from B&B and 2 weeks later they announced Enterprise (not even heeding their own advice)

    I have been venomously against Enterprise when it was on even on this board. I was against the JJ Abrams Movie, which I own and love. I watched every episode of Enterprise hoping it would be better it was not.

    What this sounds like is they have reworked what was previously being considered before B&B decided to do Enterprise. I hope it is more post DS9/Dominion War as was originally planned as the galaxy is rebuilding and I hope the Breen are the threat that was promised.

    A new series with some new blood could work. I want to see the final product but it sounds much better than Enterprise.

    I hear Beta is down for Maintenance right now. So they can do some fixes.

    Yes this new look means they look less like some kids with bad acne living in their parents' basements thinking their D&D Live Action group is real!

    I cannot say now I fear not your Natural D20 when looking at these guys!

    Makes me sad.

    Ghost Story

    I'm surprised there's not been a thread yet here.

    No spoilers, though I will comment that there was something in the book that made it pretty obvious that Butcher does play CoH.

    Good book, and not the end of the series.
    Why would you think this is the end of the series? Butcher on his own site said his publisher was scared he was ending the series at the end of Changes!

    Remember Jim Butcher has a 24 book arc in this and he already has mentioned the titles of the final 3 novels. Starting with Ghost Story we are starting the new story arc.

    I liked Ghost Story (which takes place after the final story in Side Jobs) it revealed a lot of Harry to us the fans and to the character itself. A lot of interesting changes and surprises of many of our favorite supporting characters. We discover more of Jim Butcher's version of Chicago than we thought.

    This is an aftermath book with what happened with Changes next up now the story is going to get interesting.

    Maybe they'll have Red Skull be even more of doppleganger to Cap in that the Frost Giants or whoever find Red Skull frozen or otherwise preserved around the same time SHIELD finds Cap?
    You assume he went to Asgard. There are many worlds in the World Tree.
  10. One rumor I have heard is Back Alley Brawler dies trying to save Galaxy City.

    The other I have heard is Statesman is dead and Tyrant has been posing as Statesman for awhile unknown to everyone. That is why when doing one of the Arcs for your Prat you meet him on the other side.

    I think BABs is going the way of the do do.
  11. What are these things you call pants? I know not this word.
  12. This is obviously Bob Harras's work. Look how he screwed over Marvel and nearly destroyed it in the 1990's.

    How may you ask? Fired his best writers off of the books they made popular i.e. Peter David from Hulk & Chris Claremont from X-Men.

    He alienated his artists like Todd MacFarlane, Jim Lee, Erik Larsen, Rob Liefield (a hack but still) etc. Who then made Image in defiance.

    He declared Only Spiderman and X-Books popular and let the Image Guys remove the Avengers etc out of the Marvel world into Image's new world.

    Man let characters like Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Fantastic Four etc be someone else's work. They sold those characters.

    And he wonders why he was fired for nearly destroying the company when ToyBiz bought it. Which saved Marvel from becoming non existent.

    But Hey WB hires him to run DC because he did a great job at Marvel...

    This does not surprise me.

    Now how they do the digital comics I like. Better than Marvel's.

    Anyway congrats on the expected Mini. As Troll said you are due around my birthday but kids are funny and they decide when they want to come into this world.
    For the record, I made it clear to our Trollspawn she is not allowed to take over the world on a school night.
  14. It is amazing how seeing your child born and hold her in your arms for the first time feels.

    Congratz!

    No Blake 7

  16. Good luck on this. I support this.

  17. Yep nice that you listed in what you need but Fallenz is right. It is best to schedule a TF/SF/Trial like that on the Forum. I love running TFs and I will be scheduling one for this Saturday July 9th at my new TF time.

    If you are looking at spur of the moment teaming for these Triumph Watch 2.0 and 2.1 are your best shot.
  18. Oh and bring Amp or Red Bull or 5 Hour Energy or the like. It is for you. You will need it!!! When Alice was Born I was up nearly 36 hours plus.

    If the hospital does not allow dad to sleep the night like most do. Sexist bastards... then you will need to be ready to get a hotel room.

  20. Regardless most of us were not using Galaxy and yes I had toons started there one hit 50. As much as we may liked it Galaxy City has been a ghost town for a long time. The fact they are reusing it in a very fresh way is nice to see.

    Now how will this effect teleporters? The hero bases we have built most of them have GC as a place to go. Will that continue or do we lose that location?

    And if not will villains be able to get the beacon and have a link there as well.

    Regardless my wife sees a headache in her future.

    We will miss Galaxy City but a new any character archtype play zone that is not Prat I am happy about.
  21. Congratz, Sidhe Blade and I had our child in Dec 2010 and nice to hear both Shard Warrior and Big_Soto have Minis on the way.

    Her due date is December 23rd so we may get lucky and Santa bring us Mini Me Christmas Day.
    That was roughly when our Mini was due! And that is Sidhe's IRL B-Day! Wish you all the luck! Seeing your child born is just damned amazing. I am still not over it. Alice is 6 mo and still is just so amazing and surreal.

    Start Time will be June 25th Saturday; Start Time: 6pm PST/7pm MST/8pm CST/9pm EST


    I am bringing a Demon/Dark MM named Devil's Playground, she looks like a demon, Sidhe Blade is bringing a Demon/Traps MM.

    I will have more my old formal sheets up next time. I have to remake them.
    Due to something going on in my family, I will be unable to run the TF this weekend.

    The Reason is a pretty big one. My cousin is pregnant with twins and is 87 weeks pregnant. She is having major complications including early labor. She has been in the hospital since earlier this month but now things have really gotten worse. She could lose the twins or she could lose both the twins and her own life.

    Both twin baby girls are 1 pound old and if delivered would not be expected to make it. Also the doctors are not sure my cousin can at this stage as it is too early in the pregnancy and she had major issues with her last pregnancy.

    I knew things were bad but my mother informed me that we are now in the bad zone.

    Something may be happening over this weekend.

    I am sorry but if something happens here. It may be a delay.

    Anyhoo... I am happy to announce that my wife and I are going to be the proud parents of our very own real life Mini. We are expecting late December delivery of our first child.

    After seven years of antagonizing you all with my minis of your beloved heroes and other toons, I suppose it is fitting.

    I am kicking around some in-game ideas to celebrate this with everyone, so stay tuned. I just wanted to share the news because I'm so happy!
    Congrats, Shard Warrior. Sidhe Blade & I had our Mini Dec 18, 2010 and happy to see others bring in their own Mini or Spawn. Having our daughter is the greatest thing to happen to us.

    When in late Dec are you and your wife due due?

    I hope the same for you and your wife the happiness we have some of it is shared with you and yours.
