That game is more intent on being art than anything. Watching someone else play it and guide the Red Girls fundamentally undermines the experience. It would be like deciding what a painting means to you based on someone else telling you what colors were in it.

    I'm not saying that The Path is right for you. Hell, I imagine you'd hate it. But the Let's Play method of evaluating it is flawed.

    You'd be amazed how little I care whether people know what we're talking about. I'd say this is our tree house, but it isn't even that. It's our abandoned playground where the cops forget to go and the criminals don't think to deal.
    The LP I linked is arguably more fan fiction than game, so I'm safe. You're skirting the rule, and I don't need my thread locked. This is why we Skype.
  2. I thought this was going to be about that guy Deadpool keeps stuffed and mounted in his den so he can't regenerate.

  5. #4 is possibly some of the darkest humor I've seen this week.
  6. Kinda reminds me of a heavily-altered take on The Langoliers.

    I am the game show HOST. I give the questions not the other way around. I am immune to your threats.

    Also, that bridge of death trick is invalid. This isn't Holy Grail, that only works with questions about swallows or favorite colors.
    Repeat after me: "You know, for a second there, I kinda did."

    Some master of trivia you are.

    3. Six months after Khan and his followers landed on Ceti Alpha V, a cataclysm on Ceti Alpha VI occured, shifting the planetary orbits, causing massive environmental devastation on Ceti Alpha V. Almost all the wildlife died, except the Ceti eel, which fed on the Augments and killed twenty, including Khan's wife, who is inferred to be Marla McGivers. Neither Kirk nor anyone else in Starfleet would have checked on them if not for the orbit's shifting. Khan found Kirk to be personally responsible for this.

    4. First or second? (WARNING: Failure to answer this question may cause you falling into the Chasm underneath the Bridge of Death. You have been warned.)

    5. Technically, there is no sequel, but its spiritual successor is called Rabbit Rampage.
    Way to Wikipedia, kid.

    GK, did you really think it would be that easy?

    You're very bad at this game. First, you have no distinct identity that isn't the Seltzer & Frieberg version of me. Second, you have not built up an extensive canon regarding yourself and your abilities. It took me months of not only acting the part, but also being able to answer questions about my station with an internally-consistent logic (or lack thereof, as the case may be), to be widely recognized as the Minister of Awesome.

    And, in less than one thousand posts, I shall acheive my perfect form.

    Should... should I tell him it's not actually doing anything? He's starting to look like a crazy hobo.

    On the topic of Spider-Man, I'm pretty sure his powers are so deeply-integrated into his body that the act of removing his powers would be very similar to "un-Exalting" someone.

  12. You gotta remember the sorts of special effects that'll be going on. That and the much clearer image from being a real movie ought to fix that rather B-movie-like impression he leaves.

    The thread is not inflatable.

    And no. Only people with at least a little bit of power get cookies. As far as this place is concerned, you're low man on the totem pole.

    Why would you spend money on the two things you can most easily obtain for free? Granted, the legality gets a little fuzzy here and there, but it's free!

    That's nice to know.

    But anywho, the Old Republic is probably better because there isn't so much stuff in it, and most of that stuff is quality stuff.
    The prequels had nothing to do with Old Republic.

    And were godawful.

    Clone Wars is worse (the TV series, not the Genndy Tartokovsky miniseries*).

    *Which was indeed awesome.

    Judging by the quality of the prequels and new TV series and the quality of the "media" involving the Old Republic, I'd have to agree.

    This thread is of a similar chord.

    Also, good afternoon to you, Golden Girl.
    Mornin', Marcian.

    How's it goin'?

    I'm pretty sure I've already established that MtG is about as balanced as Tommy Gavin after a bottle of GHB-laced whiskey and an all-night bender.

    Good to see you made it to the thread, VTech! 'Specially since smiting you and Ghostie was one of The Spartan Thread's best running gags.
