Dark One

Not really that difficult. You set the requirement such that the player needs either <x> number of day job badges (then increase that number by whatever additions are made) or individually list out the badge names/settitle numbers ala Freedom Phalanx accolade (and then update that list if/when more day job names are put in). Those who earn it in an earlier iteration would still have it and those coming later would have to earn it under the new requirements.

*shrug*

Edit - Also, SG Beacons. I earned mine back about 2 explore badge increases ago.

Though the SciFi Dune movie did have Paul at Jamis' funeral stating what he learned from him. But they also left out the part about Harrah and Paul assuming responsibility for Jamis' sons, iirc, from both attempts at the movie.

The SciFi version is probably about as close as one could hope to get for something of the scope of Dune.

See, I didn't really mind DVC. I wouldn't buy it on DVD, but for a cheap matinee (I only go to matinees unless I have a freebie pass for a night version), it was an acceptable diversion.

But District 9? Watchmen? Blade Runner? Horrible, horrible movies that I feel cheated for having watched.

Of course, one cannot discount this. Example: Ice Pirates was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I saw it quite a bit on HBO and the like. I got the DVD and it doesn't quite hold up. I still love it to pieces, but I can recognize its faults now. I can look past those faults and enjoy it.

Blade Runner, however, does not get that same pass because I don't have that emotional attachment. Seeing it now without the benefit of nostalgia glasses leaves me with, "Why did I watch that?".

I found District 9 to be an absolutely horrible movie all around. Hated the entire thing. For one thing, it starts out as a mockumentary then switches midstream into something else, while maintaining the same cinematic style, namely the shakey cam/faux home movie style. For another, there was not a single likable character in the entire damn thing.

The only half decent thing in D9 was the special effects. Otherwise, D9 was an absolutely painful movie to watch.

Michael Bay's Transformers? I accept them for what they are. SFX fests and explosions along with Peter Cullen's voicing of Optimus. I waited 20 years for a live-action Transformers flick, so a certain amount of fan-glossing is to be expected. Was it what I had hoped for? Nope. But it was entertaining.

Never read the book so I can't comment on it's depth or relation to the source material.

I just know from the viewing I had of it, that it wasn't an enjoyable movie for me. I'd love to get back those hours of my life.

Perhaps so.

But Blade Runner was one of those movies that I struggled to sit completely through. And even then, I couldn't watch it in one sitting. I had to space it out over 3 or so nights because it was boring.

Sounds more like a luchadore cooking show to me.

The one 3D movie I've seen (Green Hornet), the glasses weren't so much heavy as they were awkward and ill-fitting. I noticed how they fit on my ears more than the weight on the nose. And ya, that's over regular glasses as well. If I have the option, I won't be seeing any more 3D movies as that additional $2.50 is really not worth it.

I don't know about the creator, but the main character VA is Coach McGuirk from Home Movies, iirc.

BB grew on me. At first I was meh about it, but the ep that did it for me was the one where Bob was trapped inside the walls of his place. I'm willing to cut it slack on the animation as, well, I've watched a lot of cartoons in my life and unless it's something truly odd (like One Piece), I'll try to look past any defects.

You must've missed this entire season and more. There is an overarching storyline, at least now. Namely, the disintegration of the universes caused by Walter. It has went from freak of the week to something more.

I wouldn't do SPTF more than the once for the Notice. Simply because the under-50 stuff isn't dropping shards. I definitely wouldn't waste time trying to progress Partner on it.

There is one thing that puts me off of The Cape...

Everyone looks orange. Like literally just got done with really cheap spray tans.

Sorry but no. Any base revamp MUST take into account the things in storage. Deleting stuff or otherwise removing items from storage would really be one of the stupidest things they could possibly do. People have come to depend on the storage there, especially those who managed to keep the Legacy containers, if only for Brainstorm conversions.

Like I said, they could do it in such a way that it doesn't remove stuff. It would be more work to implement the system correctly, but that would be preferable to arbitrarily deleting stuff. I don't have it in me to try and start over.

Though their past history with the Base Salvage removal does not inspire me with a lot of confidence.

That route lies madness...

Only problem with ripping them out is the fact that to do so would most likely destroy any and all stored salvage/enhancements/insps/etc. That would NOT go over very well. One has to work with that fact. I know that I have a personal salvage museum containing each piece of Base Salvage that had dropped at some point. As well as multiple enhancement bins containing a LOT of IOs.

Now, what might be possible to do is to create a separate system and allow a Move command of all stored items (NOT deleting anything, even if it goes over the container limit, see Legacy Salvage Bins) to the new system. The Move would prevent dupin' rares that could be done by Copying, removal of stuffs, Copy again, etc. Once moved, the old base is archived away. An Archive would prevent loss of items during the move, but would only be accessible to GMs and CS people to take care of any issues that arise.

Come on down to Jack's House of Discount Electro-Shock Therapy! So good that if you aren't turning on lights simply by walking past them, we'll refund 110% of your payment! Remember folks, if you want Electro-Shock Therapy on the cheap, look no further than Jack's!

Conveniently located in the van down by the river!

Actually, I think I'll finish up Leader before Partner. Currently at somewhere around 68% towards Leader, but only have four ticks on the 10 Assists badge. A TF or Mothership raid will usually net me (depending upon if it's a speed run or not) 1-2% or more towards Leader.

Though that's after over six years of playing that character. Hit Popular sometime shortly before issue 19, iirc.
