    Y'know I cant even fathom where your coming from with that one?

    Is providing some comfort to somebody working and sleeping in an area where the heat index reaches 115-120 degrees on a regular basis somehow a bad thing?

    According to wiki, so probably BS.
    Nope they are gasoline engines, sounds like a dual exhaust system of some sort with no cross-over ( intermediate H or X pipe) and little in the way of mufflers.

    Couldn't really tell if they were SB or BB engines. In either case making 500hp is probably stretch given what it would cost to do so in either case (they certainly didn't sound all that impressive).

    As for diesel, that would add alot of complexitiy and expense - you have a high pressure fuel system to deal with. I'm willing to bet they are just carbed SB V8s making in the 300-400hp range - simple and cheap.

    I dunno, Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis (crap this guy has a long name) seems to be the go to guy for mustache twirling bad guys.

    That sums up my opinion as well. Attractive, but in a different sort of way. Same with Christina Ricci

  11. So I've been mulling something over just to kill the time and try to put myself in some of my he.. err vigilante's shoes (if you see me on Pinnacle with that big ol' arachnos symbol - just visiting for the badges )

    I tend to see my heros as above the politcal interests of thier home country. They wouldn't get involved in a war between to terrestrial nations except in the most dire case.

    Anyways, where does your hero draw the line between serving the intrests of the place you call home and the greater good?

    Tru'dat, I just hate the slog back from the hospital when the mish teleport power isn't available.

    This reminds me of the "Army of Me" badge though and my robotics/forcefield mastermind.

    Uh... yeah.... that got out of hand real quick.

    He´s my favorite signature hero. Kill Statesman instead, after all we have enough alternate versions of him anyway!
    Much truth spoken here.

    That actually sounds kind of fun, Every once and awhile I aggro more than one group when I'm set on x8 and even though I burn through a whole bunch of inspirations with my nrg/nrg blapper the non-stop carnage puts a smile on face

    Nylonus: No. Not what movie. The Thing.
    Ebon3: Dude I am leaving. You're not making any sense.
    Nylonus: OK Just make sure you don't miss the Thing.
    Man, and I thought you were talking about this

    Having gone to a few Gencons I can attest to this!
