ok my take, and only from my perspective.
1. you have been "just a friend"ed, get some ice cream and commence crying...err..i mean drink alcaholic beverages in a manly manner and punch things.
2. possibilities, but you will screw it up.
3. childish terminology, either indicates playfulness or innocent friend seeking, you will screw it up.
4. definite friend zone, indicates heightened playfulness but will go nowhere
5.possible real emotional attachment, you will screw it up
6. the person is a song from jet grind radio future, you will miss the next trick in the combo and screw it up.
7. absolute certainty of a good sign...you will screw it up.


EDIT:If you dont get joke number 6, its this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4aY8...eature=related

thought this might touch on hendrick and hendricks classifications, eros, storge, ludus, mania, pragma, and agape. and i was shamed by another classmate by not noticing that the first letters can be used to spell "slap me"

dark dark scrapper or dark dark defender are possibilities, if you want to mix it up, you could go with an expanded definition of "scythe" and make him a broadsword scrapper with a kopesh model.

I hate when people cannot take the time to spell out the word you.

besides, i was just having some fun, no need for the rage. I wonder if i'm one of ninja's serious people, between bobob, flcl, excel saga/puni puni puemi, elf princess rane and dragon half being among my favorites, it seems unlikely.

notes that on this topic, this is the only time that an affected party would be checking their watch, saying "one minute" and it would be a good thing. whether it would be a personal milestone or not i will leave specifically unanswered.

LIES! the heckling continues.

seems to be no deeper reason than he enjoys it. I'd never do it, but it still looks more fun than pvp.

gotta say this about steelclaw, the man FINDS his fun.

the first rule of the tournament is you do not talk about tournament.

the second deals mostly with allowable confectioneries you can bring for post fight buffets, there are some food allergies to consider, please be courteous.

ash, this mindset can get you into all kinds of trouble, are you tossing "notable financial institution" employees out of windows? lets get down to it, outside of a few notable political war criminals and normally stupid street level thugs who only exist as a side effect of economic issues , you cant punch a guy till he is gainfully employed, educated and invested in the well-being of the community, i've tried. the big picture bad guys are largely white collar, so what do you do? if ,as you said, no legal method of redress exists, how do you deal with a banker who financially destroys a swath of people's lives. beat him to death, torture him? congrats, you did jack squat for the victims, only taught the others that they need to be a bit sneakier, and reduced justice to the level of common thuggery. Light yagami would call you a poser. and the best part is, the big corporate entities are so used to working through proxies already, you are not going to find the real people responsible for anything, they perfected manufacturing deniability before you were born.

I'll admit, this is a comics board, we tend to associate heroes with a series of overblown pro-wrestlers "fighting" crime, a few in here broke from that and indicated that the real world would be more about natural disasters, fires, mine collapses seem to be in vogue lately, and how about massive disease epidemics?. hell, lets be honest and look at the damages caused by economic exploitation... you cant exactly punch that out. and removing the petty dictators, in the real world, tends to lead to other criminals violently fighting to filling the power vacuum. Im afraid a superhero in the real world would become disillusioned and jaded pretty fast, and would lose their mind within a year, you either become a glory hog, losing any real empathy for the people, or you see how many people you cant help and break down like schindler at the end of schindlers list, you cant sleep, you have to go as fast as you can, and you still could have saved one more life.

heh, this reminds me of an old episode of some silly crime drama, a police chief was walking through a prison weight area and remarked that if he had his way, these gusy who are pumping iron and gettign stronger and faster would be given tv's potato chips and allowed to vegetate, when they got out they would be too fat and lazy to get in trouble...maybe thats the key, free mmo subscriptions for all violent felons. you cant mug when you are raiding. and you cant outrun cops when you were sitting for 50 hours a week eating hot pockets. and make sure the games are really inaccurate, give them bad advice how to hold a gun, unrealistic fighting moves, i think we are on to something here!!!!

I recall reading in one of those list things that the hughes brothers probably saved thousands of lives by showing gang-bangers shooting guns sideways, get them that anime where the kid shoots holding the guns upside down!

maybe, i think speaking generally, im kind of liking the new world where few titles are fully exclusive. back when i was a frost-hatchling i hated witha passion to have limited spending capacity, having to make decisions on gaming consoles that locked me out of several amazing series because everyone was so tribalisitc, it was part of the draw to eventually become more pc gaming oriented for me, if it was a pc game and my rig was strong enough, boom.

there still are exclusives, so i still miss a few games, but by and large the high def systems share the majority of their third party games, so while the realities of time and finances still limit my purchases to not having all of the consoles, there is far less opportunity cost associated with making a console decision. im kind of glad that the market got so weird now that companies focus a little less of infighting. for me really the console wars of nintendo vurses sega were a mix of silly young male bravado and rationalization over the fact that you saw a good 20 games on the other system that you wanted, but between school and the low pay rate for mowing lawns and shoveling snow, you weren't gettign one..particularly a neo geo. If i need a good argument, ill do coke and pepsi or breath mints and candy mints.

oh, and since i have my soapbox, you know how everyone goes on about the 60 dollar price tag of games today. i bought "the lion king" for the snes for 72 dollars, and phantasy star 3, when it came out, was either 90 or 100 dollars, cant remember which. just a thought for the younglings.

id like to add to this that as a fan of his as well, thanks largely to momcha, another optional guy to listen to is "extra credit" with Daniel floyd. the game overthiker pointed me to him, and so far his stuff has been equely good..and he updates more than bob(yes, i understand that bob is busy with moviebob too) extra credits did one today about gow 3 that i REALLY wish we could discuss, but lets just say i like it.

ditto, also hate the character design, and the voice acting, and the idiotic characterization of luffy and..pretty much everything about it.

he is who i'd go for.

I vaguely assume that all resistance are really cockney british.

I think it comes down a lot of times to people who really wanted to be bad and people who are just playing as villains because they cant be heroes and do that amount of content. Now hardcase's ways of convincing you are unimpressive and often immersion breaking, but for a less committed villain, he is not problematic, violet tendencies fit him perfectly, she doesnt trust the big good guy groups, but helping the marginalized and forgotten, thats her deal. that is also why she wants to skin phipps alive. now someone committed to being the bad guy may dislike the railroaded nature of hardcase's narrative as badly as the possible heroic feel of it, but would feel nothing about poisoning poor people for phipps. Both could use gr style choices so i can tell hardase"you aint making me do this, im doing it because it fits my goals"(generally writing to shift the locus of control to the player is a good idea) and i can tell phipps to pick his least favorite appendage so that i can drive a massive thorn through that one last.
