When you're tired and rest, you find yourself down and resting on the one knee and fist. 
When you put one golden star stickers on people you dislike.
You've spent months drafting up deployment and battle plans for the Rikti War Zone, which you've turned into a hell of overlapping fields of fire for heavy weapons, artillery killzones, intricate trench systems, specialised countermining teams and layered fallback positions designed to funnel, enfilade, surround and ultimately eliminate enemy assault forces. You stopped only when you contacted the actual United Nations to request a tactical nuclear weapon for the purpose of 'breaching the Rikti shield to establish a foothold upon the mothership itself', and they asked the local police to check on you.
Chairman of the Charity of Pain; accepting donations of blood and guts.
Prophet of the Creamy Truth; "If it's empty, fill it with cream."
When you refer to your wife by her Global... to her parents.
(I wish I was joking...)
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Too... many... jokes.
When you don't need Mids to plan a build anymore, you already have a good build in your mind for every power combination in the game, and you know 80% of the numbers by heart.
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
... you delete phrases like "happy birthday", "congratulations on your golden wedding" or "I am so happy about you surviving that potentially lethal operation" from your vocabulary and replace them with a simple "grats".
If it has eyes, you can blind it, if it has blood, you can make it bleed, if it has a mouth, you can make it scream.

Oh so that's what it was! I did ask but she didn't say.
I am not surprised at the ban but would suggest that its probably a joke (satirical?) made more at the idiocy of past comic publishers that did not of come out as intended.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

There were people saying that sexist portrayals of women in games based on comics were ok, because that's the way they were portrayed in comics, so I was pointing out the problem with that idea - it means you'd have to include all the other "traditional" things from comics, like the racism - if you're going to try and excuse negative gender portrayals as traditional, then you have to try and excuse negative racial portrayals too - they're both equally bad.

Ahh but the portrayal of women that way in comics continues, however the racism has ended unless of course the comic is written by Reginald Hudlin

I get your point but in COs defense after reading that thread its not easy to establish where and when you were serious or being sarcastic I guess. You should use more.
I think one of the most great looking caricatures of a superheroine is probably Psylocke. She may of actually won in a voting contest if I remember rightly and Mindslayer could be COs answer to it.
I don't think anything of a cartoony pic. I doubt teenage boys do but the costume is a weapon that could make hero guys want her rather than defeat her gaining influence/time.
On a heroine it would perhaps separate the men who would say "dressed like that she was asking for it" from those who would merely crash their car

The queue in Tescos is so long you summon a pet or minion to wait in the line for you.
Somebody annoys you in the pub and you nova
you use your repulsion field in crowded places, just in case.
You pick up the latest issue of your favourite comic and decide that the hero's a complete wimp and you could do so much better
you can't decide who's the biggest idiot: your form tutor or Statesman
Ghost Widow's totally got it over Jolene Blalock
Someone starts causing trouble in the pub and you first taunt then confuse and the problem's resolved
You're seriously considering a career in landscape gardening when you retire from being an Earth troller.
I'm sure you guys can think of others
Three years in and I still love this game.
Thanks to NC, to the support team and most of all, to you guys who've made this game experience as good as it has been for me!
