  2. Well, I was wrong in which person died. I was fully expecting either Fury, Black Widow, or Hawkeye to bite it. Was leaning more towards Hawkeye than anyone else.

    Favorite scenes? Hulk punching Thor after they took down the dragon thingie. And Hulk playing Smash-The-Tin-God.
  3. Laser beams are so overdone.

    You probably won't be able to find 'em, but I've been using orcas with plasma rifles.

    It would be an awesome idea. The other villains could put that stuff up on PPV and make a killing!

    Next time a red name hops on Nemesis and speaks over the admin chat, mind making him more in character? Give a monologue about how we're all worthless, toss out some threats and call some players out, toss some insults out at the "pathetic" heroes and villains, hint at his master plan without giving away too much. Don't become a laughing stock
    Easily explained by a Fake Nemesis that got a bit out of hand. The real Nemesis was away playing baccarat whilst nursing a snifter of 100 year old brandy.

    The word "indubitably" was tossed around quite a bit.

    Eh, mole machines are fine, I guess. But they lack a certain...style. Giant steampunk blimps floating over the city? That's got class. And Nemesis is all about the classy.
  7. Just finished Tokyopop's Starcraft: Ghost Academy and it was pretty good. It featured Nova from the cancelled Starcraft: Ghost game. It's only three volumes, so pretty short.
  8. What would've made it better is if the mobs rapelled down from hovering steampunk blimps. The whole teleporting-in thing doesn't really fit with that technology, IMO.
  9. TF: Prime is a pretty good show. The whole MECH thing is a bit overdone, but come on, it's Spike Spiegel as Starscream! And I think he does the character quite well.

    Yes, someone does die. I won't say who as I don't want to drop spoilers, but I don't think the death ranks down there with M. Night Plot Twist

    Toss me a PM if you want to know who it is.
    It's not the who that dies, it's rather the whole modus operandi of Whedon anymore. Honestly, it's tiresome. He just can't have a happy ending. *shrug*

And re-hearing voice talents I haven't heard in awhile and noticing just how much overlap there is between these two series is always interesting to me.
    I'm not sure GI Joe holds up that well. The other night I watched My Favorite Things and it was somewhat painful to watch. I mean, I still want to get the complete collection box set, but think I might need to take off the rose-colored glasses for it.
  12. Well, wasn't the monkey he had in that episode green? Perhaps a combination of the bite of the monkey (and assorted monkey pox) interacting with M'gann's blood.

    If they ever got The Real Ghostbusters for streaming, I'd be all over that.
    The Real Ghostbusters box set is like $180! I almost had a heart attack when I saw that.


  14. *sigh* Without watching or reading spoilers, I can make a guess on who Whedon's going to kill off. I'm actually getting a bit sick of expecting that from him. He's turning into a variant of M. Night "What a TWIST!" Shamalamadingdong.

    I think I'm pretty much over the whole Whedon thing.
  15. ...

    Jem and the Holograms?

    ...You worry me sometimes.

  16. How about making TFs or story arcs (solo-possible please, no 8-person TFs kthx) that play to the theme of the set? Like "Celestial" would be an arc dealing with angelics or possibly valkyrie-type mobs. Each time you run the arc, you get the option of picking a random piece of the set for a reward.

    The one where they were in Africa going up against Queen Bee trying to take over another country. BB was the kid on the nature preserve. It was before he was infected with sakutia.

    Sure you are!

    You have your Party Cannon and Balls stashed everywhere (in case of Ball Emergency)!

    I'm on to you...

  19. One of the pizza places 'round here (Pizza Ranch) makes a pretty good Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza. Chicken and bacon w/ bit's o' tomato and ranch dressing on it.

    Ya, the location puts it almost directly south of New Bedford and to the east of Jersey.

    The Super BFFs are probably the best of the bunch of DC Nation shorts. Teen Titans are running a close second.
  23. I'm thinking M'gann and Connor's breakup was particularly brutal. What with her trying to eat Fish Boy's face right in front of Connor.

    But hey, we got Cassie! Maybe her and Connor have become an item!

    Plus...Batgirl. Batgirl makes everything better.

    I just hate waiting till tomorrow to see it.
    So...this is a permanent change then? That whole thing with the Missing Six and whatnot ended at New Year's?

    It's not just the beavers. It's every show that has a situation like that. How stupid does a person have to be to tell the bad guy (when they're in a secluded location) that they are going to the cops with all the evidence on them? What does that bad guy have to lose at that point by knocking that character off?

    It's just plain sloppy writing and a tired trope. Yes, it's "necessary" for the story setup, but in real life, that'd just be putting chlorine in the gene pool.
