    The one that went down six levels? Coming from an area that is pretty much some soggy earth floating on water, that was an interesting experience. I had to park on level 4 and for about two levels, me and my buddy talked about crappy endings in the underground parking garage due to flooding or a direct hit with a bunker buster.
  4. Told a buddy about it and the road trip was on, now just have to work a few details out at my regular job. I think I'll begin with; "My therapist said I should take some time off..."

    Was fun, also found a new favorite road on the east coast. 160 out of PA to MD, I love you, you curvy hilly sparesly driven peace of tarmac heaven!

    Or snatch the cell-phone from some knucklehead and beat the ever living snot out of them.

    Matinees are great for keeping the prison population from exploding due to violent behavior in that regard.

    ya know what? forget that logic stuff, DOWN WITH SUPER 8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    IT KILLS BABIES AND KICKS PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Never underestimate the power of nerd rage! All it needs is just a little spark and BOOM!
    If top fuel guys could harness it, it would push a dragster deep into the .0000001 second zone

    I dunno, I bet if you could inject that 1 atom of antimatter into a person it could create some havoc somewhere. A firecracker floating around in your brain would certainly rain on your parade.

    Man, sounds so like something the KGB would do!
  15. You guys are also forgetting nerd rage when it comes to poor ticket sales. Remember a bunch of people here said they would skip it because it kicked continuity in the **** and threw it right out the window and thats just a sampling of the X-Men fanbase.

    Speak for youself, I grew up in the 80's!

    Knight Rider, Air Wolf, Red Dawn, Terminator, A-Team, G-Force, Star Blazers, Robotech, Better off Dead, One Crazy Summer, Feris Bueller's Day Off, Wall Street I, The Cold War was on the way out, you could still watch classic TV and Cartoons without subscribing to a cable channel (even the racially charged and sexist stuff like Mighty Mouse, the Flintstones, and Bugs Bunny) it was the dawn of the video game, arcades were still a cool place to hang out, the hole in the ozone just showed up. Reagan with the help of Gorbachev and glasnost eventually did what a stupid war in Vietnam couldn't. MTV actually played music videos, Skinimax was worth watching, Jenny's number was everywhere, Safety Dance, Whip It, et al. You could buy a car that got 50+ mpg for less than 10 grand new, gas was getting cheap again because of a glut do to an abundance of light weight fuel effcient cars on the road (I remeber regular going for less than a dollar a gallon). D&D was big, et al.

    No global climate change, no war on terrorism, no stock market collapse, no global economy, no past peak oil, no devaluation of the dollar, no every household in the US owes 540k as part of its debt), No SS and Medicare bankruptcy, no TV turning into a 24/7 reality show on every channel, No bankrupt Hollywood desperately remaking every movie it can, Baby Boomers where still working and not retiring.

    The only downside I can think of in the 80's where all the "repsonsible" adults who did all the fun stuff in the 60's and 70's trying to tell you with bloodshoot eyes, rock hard livers, confectioner's sugar caked around thier nose with a straight face you shouldn't do that kind of stuff which bascially led to an entire generation of kids who grew up with a complete disregard for authority.

    And comic books didn't blow!
  17. Sigh... that would be fun, damn you RL why must you get in the way

(nice cadence there, if I do say so myself!)
    Just need to control decceleration. If you talking crazy comic super science then there are any number of solutions. I know for my main power armor using guy, I use a combination of graduated density padding, the armors strength boosting artificial muscle fibers and a good old fashioned force field to mitigate thst sort of damage.

    Depending on how things are setup, the human body can take a fair bit of punishment when it comes to decceleration. At the extreme end, there was a case where a formula one driver sustained a 200g smack into a wall and survived.

    Also you can design active attributes into the armor like air brakes, Supes smacks you and you go flying, the armor could deploy panels creating alot of drag slowing it down to managable levels (well provided there is enough space).

    Game, cartoon, TV show, et al. Music is just as important at the imagery.

    Its one of things that made A Kinghts Tale so memorable for me (in a bad way).

    Well it was his first job (so to speak), I'm sure he wanted to impress the CIA with his team. Not to mention nothing like a bunch of super powered clowns blowing up the joint while kidding around, not exactly the sort of behavior you want to encourage when your trying to tell the majority that mutants aren't a threat.

    Pretty cool Sam, hopefully you can tie it all together with a power and a costume change emote in a macro.

    I have a kinetic melee/energy aura brute and I've tied his energy cloak power to two macros. I use dimensional shift (cce 01 dimensioshift$$powexec_name energy cloak) to cut the power on and energy morph (cce 01 energymorph$$powexec_name energy cloak) to cut the power off. Great fun as the macro switches between the two costumes with a little bit of drama


  24. Doodled with the steam punk stuff but I havent really been able to tie a concept with this costume.

    Pacing will be a little slow for an action movie, but the story makes up for it.

    anyway, if First Class does well, I wonder how they will progress the story? IMO just a gradual progression would work rather than leaping twenty or thirty years into the future. I would actually enjoy the next movie if it were set in the late 60's or early 70's and a third film maybe at the end of the 70's or beginning of the 80's
