Quote:Big fan here of +2 Kill Most/PUG ITF runs but with a solid team, Im game for the same at +4...I enjoy the challenge.I am willing to set up an ITF again where we do a 'Shard Run' (=kill all) on +3 or +4...
When I usually give this option people are scared or don't have the time.
Is the OP willing to join such a run?
Are you on Virtue/Freedom? -
Quote:Just some friendly ribbing within the community is all. I do think that what others have said is fair though...you can recolor just about any of the current sets and use your imagination. In D&D theres even an Edritch Archer class...On the other hand folks, let's recall that they certainly haven't shown to be against adding thematically natural, tech, magic, and mutant sets. Giving someone a hard time for wanting a magic themed blast set really isn't terribly fair. Personally I kind of think you could do some fun things with one myself.
Next request, sorcery melee/sorcery armor?
**edit**
Without requesting a new melee set, I made a "magic" oriented DM/EA Brute awhile back, highlighted with the rune aura.
Just use that imagination and this thread is easily accomplished without any new sets needed. -

Quote:With a statement like this, "They'll never be more than fancy GPS systems on legs."...She's not trolling, she's sincere. Not sure if that's better or worse.
I dont think I believe that.
Being sincere about something means you believe it is true but there are already gizmos out there that are far more advanced than GPS'...which Im sure GG is aware of. -
Gratz on the anniversary...
Gratz making it a successful run on Sunday/8th...

Quote:I enjoyed the movie for the same reasons you and the wife did.The wife and I went to see this flick this week. We enjoyed it. There was a constant sense of tension as the team was pretty much playing catch-up the entire movie.
I liked the fact that the Ethan Hunt character took more of a leadership role in the movie. Sure, he was team leader in the other ones, but this one seemed to spread the action around to the rest of the team nicely. They all got moments to shine, and we liked that. In fact, Hunt was so leaderly in this one that I rather expected him to be the director of IMF by the end of the movie. And he was kinda, with the way he handed out the phones to his three teammates at the end. Whatever his actual rank, he does seem to be pretty high up in the organization’s ladder. But to have him accepting a mission at the very end of the movie kinda broke that line of reasoning.
I often tell the wife that I know to much to truly enjoy certain things as presented in movies. The big one that jumped out at me in this movie was the scene where Hunt and the other team member are being shot at under water. Sure it's a nice effect, but I watch Mythbusters. And because I do, I know that any bullet loses pretty much all of its power within six inches of hitting water. The Mythbusters tested that at with much closer range, and with a variety of weapon powers. The more powerful the weapon, the more the bullet loses when it hits the water, with .50 cal sniper rifle bulets disintigrating pretty much on contact with the water. So that scene, while fun and dramatic, is not at all realistic.
One other thing we noticed with some of the very close ups of Tom’s face is the man is starting to show his age. He will be 50 later this year.
Its also hard for me to sometimes appreciate some genres being a prior military guy...explosions, firefights etc are just too unrealistic and over the top at times. Takes a minute for me to recalibrate my brain to just enjoy what Im watching.
Tommy is looking pretty good for his late 40s but yes, you can tell hes getting "there". I think though at 50, Scientologists are eligible for some rejuvenation process where they are infused with alien energies. So get ready for a more youthful looking Mr Cruise for MI 4-7. -

Quote:I think we're looking at "change" from different perspectives. It sounds like you are speaking on social evolution...Im looking at it more along the lines of the human nature never really seeming to progress. So the ruling class had to treat the workers better for a period of time but then sent them all out to fight the neighboring lords later on.We've only had around 10,000 years of being "civilized" and most of that was spent being able to only eat with one hand. Give it time, but time is the one thing that we are more than capable of limiting for ourselves.
By removing a large population of the working class, the ruling class had to pay better and provide better working conditions to compete for the more limited worker resources. Along with other socio-economic impacts, though granted some had to take quite a while to be realized.
Complete environmental collapse either through supervolcano explosions, impact events, or good ol' fashioned human endeavor. If we know we can't live here anymore, then we'll have to look elsewhere for a home. Spread out amongst the stars. Meet strange new aliens and take the Kirk route with 'em.
Maybe we will have another 10,000 years ahead of us to get it right or maybe we'll destroy each other in the next 300 years.
Time will tell I suppose. -
Even though I always thought Shelock Holmes was an interesting character, like some here...Ive never read any of the books either (always been more of a fantasy novels type guy). That said, I enjoyed the movies and will probably grab one of the novels before heading overseas again.
ps - more times than not, I have been disappointed seeing a movie and having read the source material beforehand...not many movies do very well compared to the real deal -
Quote:Agreed, but neither one touch the original, the fabulous Ms Linda Carter.From the shots I'd seen of the show-that-never-came-to-pass, E.N.Durance makes a better looking Wonder Woman anyway, in my opinion.
There is something about those hot latin ladies that get me everytime. -
Quote:I guess my point is this...do we ever really learn or grow enough? Does gaining knowledge about one aspect of reality or another really alter human nature for us to transcend our base nature/instincs?Well, we'd need an almost-mass extinction. Bottleneck us down to a couple hundred thousand or so. Give us the chance to learn from the idiocy of the past and revamp. Kinda like how the Black Death allowed for changes in the society of Europe. For one to change, they need to hit rock bottom. We're close, but not quite there yet.
Only downside is the collateral damage to the not-human population of the planet.
The Black Plague by some accounts decimated Europe's population by 50% and how did anyone evolve from that? A couple hundred years later, the population was topped off again and it was back to business as usual. Sure, some became smarter by way of the sciences (which benefitted everyone)...medical knowledge etc. Many though blamed the plague on people not being faithful to some god, which is basically the same thing people do today, like 600 years later (some religious nut claimed Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans and its residents all because of Mardi Gras lol).
Back to the original point, I dont think there is any partial doomsday scenario that will cause the human race to get their **** together.
Just my cheery, realist opinion though
