    I notice that you mention nothing about adding actual tea to the product...

    It's like in the old Monty Python song. Think of all that amazing stuff, and then...think about the fact that you're still here. Right now. Here in this massive universe we can't even see or really grasp the size of, you are here. Lazarillo is here. Dark One is here. Rad and Arcanaville are here. I don't know how the **** it happened, but it's pretty damned amazing if you think about it. Or at least, that's always been the way I've felt.
    I'm here.

    The rest of you are all delusions of my insanity. I'm actually the last of humanity, sitting in the ruins of one of our cities and typing on a wrecked computer, running out the clock on life...

    O.o

    11. No sugar? ... I believe there are several southerners who would disagree with him on this point. Although I don't go as far as our southern friends, I do think a dash of sugar actually enhances the flavor... like salt in savory dishes. And no, tea does not need to be as bitter as he seems to advocate.
    What they serve in the South isn't tea. It's hummingbird food that's been passed through a room that may or may not have, at one point, held something approximating tea leaves.

  5. Throw in some double exponents in there. I was derping around on wiki looking at the multiverse pages and I seem to remember one passage where the closest similar universe would be 10^10^115 meters from this universe.

    Or something like that anyways. Then it got into fecund universes and supervoids and I needed to go have a lie down.

  7. Well, considering some of the theories about the multiverse, our universe is immensely insignificant.
  8. You guys are just plain weird!

    Now, back to my pepperoni pizza with peanut butter onnit...

    Dr. Turgenev owes me about 15 million influence. He said all I had to do was give him my bank account number to help move some from the Rogue Isles.

    He also said his official title was "Dr. Turgenev, Ph.D, MS, OSS, DD, LOLBBQ, Prince of the Realm of Turgmenistan, Defender of the Holy Order of the Rabid Lemur, CPA".

    Or more like, "I need to buy how many comics to read one story?". At $3+ a pop, needing to buy 15 different comics to read one arc gets old...fast.

    Do you also eat bananas peel and all? How about eggs?

    And no, they should not send another team to investigate. Even a team with a group of "highly trained" special forces op personel, with a heavy payload, backing them up.

    Just let it be.

    send moar scientists...
  13. Dun dun DUUUUUN!

    So, who is taking bets? Cthulu? The Thing? Megatron?

    In all seriousness, hope they're ok, but dang if this isn't the setup for a ton of monster movies.

    In contrast, DC just seems to be cynical and joyless right now. I hope they break out of their funk.
    Now that is the way to write comics.

    Comics today have lost that sense of fun and LOL. It's all brooding, ultra-massive-gonna-change-everything!-but-not-really, total crossover to sell underperforming books even if the story doesn't actually call for it, cancel and relaunch 3 months later, and "superstar" writer/artist fanwanks.

    Comics are supposed to be an escape from the **** we call reality. If I want a story "ripped from the headlines", I'll watch any of the interminable cop dramas on tv.

    Ya...

    On the one hand, you have Mary Jane Watson in a spiderweb one piece.
    On the other, you have Wolverine wearing cutoff jean shorts.

    It was both mind numbing and mind destroying.

    She's at least got pouches and workable boots. Unlike say, Black Cat that has no where to store her tools, yet always seems to have a grapple or something.

    But those thigh pouches...wouldn't they tend to slide down without something holding them up? I mean, there's only so tight you could get 'em before that blue isn't stockings, but rather her legs.

    Nah, it's the blue bands on her arms and legs. The same as when I see a Psylocke picture. What purpose do those actually serve? Unless they were held on with glue or tape, they'll be forever falling off.

    Also, for shame internet, for shame. We've had a previously pictured cute girl say that she would wear stuff like that and not a single "Pic plz kthnx" (provided she's over 18, of course, dunno if that was settled last time around)?

    *head shake* I have no defense there.
    She can create force fields that could, if one squints, approximate an invulnerability factor?

    Plus, the cougar factor. Giggity.

    I tried this out on the test server, love the new content for this years spring fling- it's long since due.
    What makes you think I haven't already done them with lowbie alts? There's one or two that haven't, but the VAST majority got the badges the first time around. And quite frankly, I am sick to death of seeing Snaptooth, in any form.
  21. Oh come on. Level 30 or higher? These level-gated event missions are getting on my nerves.

    Prior to Freedom, I would've agreed with you. Now? Not so much. This half-assery and neither hand knowing what they are doing is, IMO, an indicator of deeper problems within the company.
