  2. Looks like a great big steaming pile of meh with an ambivalence cherry on top.
  3. Dr. Impossible. The guy locked his family in his corporate headquarters and expected them to get emotional fulfillment from a robot programmed to simulate real human emotion. And he couldn't even be bothered to learn his own kid's name.
  4. Rusty Venture. He never shows any affection toward his sons, never lets them show any affection toward him, takes them on dangerous "adventures" against their will, doesn't listen to them, has left them ill-prepared for life outside the compound, pushes them into lives they don't want, and was generally unconcerned about their safety and welfare for most of their lives.

    Although, arguably, Rusty's dad Jonas Venture was the worse father, seeing how he's the root of all of Rusty's psychoses and was responsible for turning Rusty into the craptastic dad he is.
  5. Hot War sounds like some sort of cross between Risk and pornography.

    Dude's a jerk.
    I never said anything about love or them being in a deep relationship. I'm just saying that Artie's not guilty of somehow manipulating the stupidest girl in school into screwing him so that he could turn around and act like the victim. Whatever his rationalization, the sex clearly meant a lot to Artie and he believed that it also meant a lot to Brittany.

    And yeah, he can be a total jerk at times. He's not completely innocent in the Brittany relationship, which he was clearly using as a means to try and make Tina jealous. But, again, I doubt he ever imagined that Brittany would screw him.

    I liked it. At the time, he thought that Brittany was really into him and that the experience was special to them both. He didn't know that she was just trying to use him, and when he found out he was crushed.
  8. I can't really see the Mutt character carrying a movie on his own, especially one in the style of Indiana Jones. If they did pass the franchise torch to him, I think they'd have to do at least one more movie where Indy takes the center stage. That way Mutt can be given the depth he needs, and it won't seem like he made a sudden decision to give up his rebellious greaser lifestyle for no reason to start chasing relics.

    The problem, like I said, isn't the bread... It's what you put in/on it.
    Or how much you eat. Even multi-grain bread is bad for you if you eat a whole wheelbarrow of it.

    Yeah, but when you were in high school would you have gone as insane as Santanna did over a gift certificate for a chain restaurant? I wouldn't have.

    Now there's a mashup for Glee, Time Warp/Shake Your Groove Thing. They could even do it in full drag!
  13. Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da' rebound on da' med side


  14. 'Breadsticks' is the most hilarious name ever for a supposedly good restaurant.
  15. After browsing through this thread as it has evolved over the past few days, I must say that I want whatever G_G is smoking. That must be some seriously strong **** right there.

    Drive Angry...

    That was the best title they could come up with, Drive Angry? Did they even try?

    There's already been a student caught completely naked and masturbating in the school's library, I think transvestitism is a pretty small problem compared to that

(And thanks to the joys of demo editing, I can mix and match powersets to give him whatever powers are appropo... and am quite capable of setting entire buildings on fire or blowing up cars spontaneously for the right effect.)



    (Only problem is that there is no male face in the game NEARLY as hot as whoever Christian McGrath gets to model for Harry on the book covers... *sigh*)

    Well, you could always send him a message on the Dresden Files forums. Or you could surprise him with the video.

    Now let's see, CoH powers that Dresden would have:
    Fireball (obviously)
    Blaze
    Blazing Bolt
    Inferno (maybe?)
    Aim (from fire blast to represent the Hellfire he had for a while, and then replace it with Focus Chi for Soulfire)
    Revolver (the temp power, not from DP)
    Shotgun (he did carry one for a while)
    Temp Invulnerability (from the magically imbued duster)
    Personal Force Field (from his shield bracelet)
    Power Thrust (the kinetic rings)
    Boxing
    Kick
    Teleport (since there aren't any good models for the Blue Beetle, Teleport makes a good stand in for the shortcuts through the Never Never)

    Optional powers:
    Blizzard (for the Winter Knight mojo he was packing for a time)
    Gale (could be in the powers he would have, although it seems like he's been using his air manipulation abilities less and less lately)
    Earthquake/Volcanic gasses (he did it during the incident with the Raiths and the cave on their compound)
  19. I'm still waiting on a Blues Brothers episode.

    Yeah, if they're going to be changing such a fundamental aspect of the Doctor's species that's been a part of the show for a long long time, then it merits more than a passing comment in one of the spin-off shows.

    I'm hoping it's the former. The powers let Harry pull off some pretty bitchin moves during the duel, but I'd hate to see how the power of the Winter Court changes him in the long run.

I don't know whether I'd thank him or slap him. (Or hey, I can even make an in-game vid for him! "Screw Chicago, Harry Dresden is now saving Paragon City!")

    Well, if he's the only person in CoH who can play with the name Harry Dresden then finding him should be a simple matter of going to each server and trying to add the character to your friends list.

    And you should totally make that video.

    Also, (SPOILERY COMMENT AHOY) I wonder if part of the reason Harry finally accepted Mab's offer was because Jim Butcher got his character up to level 41 and picked up the Cold Mastery APP.

    I always figured that Brent Spiner was really really tired of having that heavy makeup caked onto his skin.
