I cleaned up some posts. Don't make things personal, and take a deep breath and think things over before posting. Is it really so bad if someone is wrong on the internet? Matthew Morris wrote:
One side-effect of making the heroes like Superman and Shazam 'darker and edgier' is that their already dark and edgy counterparts, like Bizarro and Black Adam, have to become baby-eating freakshows, to keep up with the constant lowering of the bar. It's like a never ending race to see who can out-Clive-Barker each other, and the winner gets cancelled anyway. Or maybe I'm just still suffering the backlash from the Earth-2 announcements, which are all about Lois being killed and all the Amazons being killed, because the writers want to explore how far they can push Superman or Wonder Woman before they become gritty kill-em-all vigilantes or whatever. And I'm a total hypocrite. While I don't want to see Superman, etc. all 'dirtied up,' I'd pay good money for a comic set on Earth 3, where the heroic 'Rogues' are fighting an desperate losing underground resistance against the 'evil JLA' Crime Syndicate.

I'm the opposite, I loved the draw system, and thought the story of FF8 was mind numbingly stupid (altough I am a sucker for a happy ending). My favorite FFs are 7 and 9, I also stopped playing after ten as I never upgraded to a PS2 so the only reason I beat 10 was that a roommate let me use his. Rant time. I am sick of being patronized by people who refer to my illustration / fine art work as "decorative art" just because it doesn't have any sort of political or social commentary worked into it. I mean, seriously, it's a painting of a f*~~ing dragon. Do you want me to put Newt Gingrich's face on it? No f$@#ing way. The reason I won't put Newt Gingrich's face on my dragon isn't that I'm a Republican, it's because then the painting would SUCK. And the fact that you're calling the existing artwork "decorative" cheapens the amount of work I've put into it. This is not something I enjoy doing, and it's certainly not something I'm good at, so you'd better at least view it for what it is (a mediocre painting of a f*&&ing dragon) and not for what it "should be" in your eyes. For those of you who are curious, no, there is no painting of a dragon, though there may be in the future. This was more of a hypothetical scenario closely based on a conversation I had this morning.

So I get to tie up Sebastian in my kitchen and kick him in the gut whenever I want cereal? Sounds good. Aberzombie wrote: Mrgh. Wife not feeling good, so I spent the night on the couch. Interestingly enough, I slept very well. Sorry to hear that Zombie, but really what did you expect when you bit her? Once the infection runs it's way through her body and spreads to her brain the fever will break, so just tell her to hang in there and you'll have some tasty brains waiting after her transformation.

True, but I just don't think that will ever happen. The well is far too poisoned by everyone involved which includes BTW, anti-4e players, pro-4e players, anti-4e companies, and pro-4e companies. They all played a part in poisoning the edition well and now I don't think it can be undone. I think it's best to just avoid the comparisons and talk about what the new game does without comparing it to any other game or version. Celestial Healer wrote: Morning, all. What did I miss? Well, Sam and Dean's road trip took a turn for the worse in the rural areas of Ohio, when they ran smack dab into a good, old-fashioned family feud that had grown increasingly violent. Meanwhile, Peter and Walter continued to search for a cure for Olivia's condition, before she regressed completely into a caveman mentality. And, across town, Tony was completely overwhelmed when....No, wait! That's my soap opera!

I missed your comments (presumably about Tolkien). :(
I've only been here about a year longer than you, so let me offer you some advice that you can ignore if you like. I personally don't care what you say. But if you want to make friends in Fawtl, you're going to have abide by their rules or else you'll get ostracized. (See: Gark the Goblin, to a certain extent me) Their rules, ostensibly, are: no religion, no politics, no sports (although they seem to ignore that one all the time). A corollary that I would offer is that if I'm the only one engaging you in conversation, you're probably violating the rules as the Lord President Moorluck found out. It's a learning process, figuring out what is okay and what is not. And, of course, the rules are stretched a bit, depending on who you are. I'd advise you spend a bit more time lurking to get the lay of the land. As you spend more time here, you'll figure out who is who, what their senses of humor are, and which people have higher tolerance for "trolling." Also, I'd advise that you learn to let things go. For example, if the moderators delete one of your posts, don't write a post back explaining what you meant. Apologizing is fine, but going into the details of why you said what you said kind of defeats the purpose of them deleting it. Don't get me wrong: there's all kinds of threads where people will be happy to engage you in outrageous statements and vitriolic attacks; Fawtl just isn't one of them. Of course, it's very possible that I have no idea what I'm talking about. Please keep in mind that, again, I have no problems with you, but, then again, I love trolls!
