    Why would he do that? He's the head of our Legal Division.

    Just because it is in the language of the Deep Ones doesn't mean it's always right. Trust me, I used to proofread Dagon's manuscripts for his publisher. Not a job I'd recommend anyone else take *shudder*.

    Yeah, but "dead" never really evoked the same feelings, you know? I'd extend the correction to the first line, but I've lost too much SAN already by translating into that fell language.

    Further sarcasm. That implies that I am interpreting everything correctly and that you are a collosal man-hater.

    The first step to a solution is admitting you have a problem.

    Well, that smiley implies sarcasm, thus I am interpreting your words absolutely correctly.

    But, we all know about your prejudices, so it's no surprise that you can't disprove it.

    Uh-huh, so you claim. Bigots are quick with excuses, but never have concrete proof.

    Well, some of us believe in gender equality, and don't discriminate over who gets whacked with a rolled-up newpaper.

For a similar case, look at what happened to Tobey Maguire, both for the second Spidey movie (he was under contract but wanted more money, Sony nearly replaced him with Jake Gyllenhaal) and the fourth movie (Tobey was under contract for only 3 films, which spurred the reboot talk, then he signed, then they decided to reboot anyways).

    I doubt Fox signed Reynolds to a more than one movie deal for Deadpool. For contractual reasons alone, I am sure WB's stuff is more ironclad than Fox's.
    The bottom line is that Ryan Reynolds really, really wants to do Deadpool, so there's no way he'd let someone else box him in and prevent him from doing it.

    I feel bad for anyone that has to deal with your obviously-undisciplined pets and friends. I find a rolled-up newspaper across the nose works wonders for both.

    Seriously, a bump? You didn't even disguise it that well. At least post something that says something. I mean, that bump was just...

    Okay, this thread is currently about Homestuck

    You should all read it.

    Also, the music is very good, listen to it.

    And here is the webcomic one of the characters writes ironically, which is then referenced for hilarious effect within the actual comic.

    -An X-Man, usually Cyclops, at some point, whenever Deadpool teams up with them and proclaims that "We mutants have to stick together." Because he's not a mutant.

    Also, yeah, Ryan Reynolds has more than enough money to afford turning down GL2 if he can play his favorite Marvel character. Hell, Warner Bros. is bluffing, anyway. They'd never go on to a sequel without the star of the first. So, unless they have him in a binding contract (and since he accepted Deadpool before GL, I doubt it), they can just wait until after Deadpool wraps.
  21. Well, for video games, there are two types of spoiler.

    1. The spoilers of what happens during the normal course of gameplay, i.e., Aeris Dies, Galuf Dies, Ashera was evil and the "dark god" was not, what's-his-name is really the Supreme Hunter, etc. The statue of limitations is about two weeks for most games, a month for the really long ones.

    2. The spoilers of things that require secret hunting, i.e., The Truth (Subject 16's message), The truth behind The Spirit of Arkham (which I think you're referring to), etc. There, spoiling it is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN. FOREVER.

    The shocking twists provided by secrets are also often the sole reward for spending all that time hunting them. So in their case, DO NOT spoil it.

    Alright guys, It's about time I got here to lay down my position. I am hereby here as the official ambassador from the land of Unleashed in a neighboring area of Internet land. This grants me diplomatic immunity from all your silly rules. However I am here for peaceful relations and to attempt to keep the peace between our two nations and avoid war, though kitty guns and angry bears would be fun.

    I have powers to magically begin a game show from hell if I become displeased (and I will use it) and I also will administer a pimp hand if I need to and invoke the powers of the gay music should the opportunity arise.

    Also: Now I am no longer unattractive. I am the hottie among the guys here now.
    I like how variants of the banner I thought of have become so popular in the rotation.

    I know, I'm trying to teach through example, but it's not working so well. Well, it's out there now, may as well use the chance I've been given.

    1. Killing? Really? That's just so boring. Get creative. Remember Sho's post, or how I just linked to a series of Akuma-related beatdowns? You gotta use some imagination when you smite your enemies. Which is why I generally don't get into it with GG. It's a waste to use imagination on someone so lacking in it.

    2. A joke is only funny once, don't keep repeating it. It can be funny a second or even third time if your timing is perfect and you vary it just enough to fit a different context. Like the "bumped shin" joke from Family Guy (one of the rare few recurring jokes on that show that manages to be funny on subsequent uses, at least up to the third use, I haven't watched the last couple of seasons).

    3. Referring to things that have reached memetic status, such as most forms of sweets and, well, most other memes, it can be funny now and then, but constantly crying for X subject of memetic adoration is plain unoriginal.

    There's a thin line between being funny and looking stupid. Privately, Shawn Sage isn't the only one to mention that your material needs work. You've got potential, you just need to come up with your own stuff.
