Yeah cats do strike me as being realists.

Hmm yeah its probably a bit more complicated. Maybe that's why comic super heroes never go and try to take down foreign governments. Heck Dr. Doom is about as bad as you get but his people love him and he runs a tight ship.

I'll just go for full world domination. I'd be a solid ruler.

We will have nekkid Mondays. it will be good times.


Stopping in a well lit rest area for a nap just outside Charlotte as we can't check in to the hotel for....almost 10 hours. We avoided a LOT of traffic leaving early, though.


If I had powers I'd go full vigilante. Nobody can hurt your family and friends if you're masked, gloved, and kick ass. And if they even threaten to do? Skin their arms slowly with a potato peeler and soak em in vinegar.

I said vigilante, not hero.


The hotel won't let you check in early?

The Exchange

A lot of hotels don't. In the case of Hi, since we weren't sure if the hotel would let him check in early or not, we dumped his luggage in our car and drove him over to Sentosa

In forensic science we learn there is no such thing as a perfect crime. Every crime leaves a trace. So even if you went vigilante, someone might pull off your mask in a fight, or you might get nicked, leaving your blood on the floor for a DNA trail, or the guy you're fighting claws you, gets through your costume and gets some of your skin under his fingernails. Yes, forensic science class teaches you on how da detectives do it.


10 hours is awfully early. We rarely let people check in more than 3 hours early (noon instead of 3).


As long as the room is available we let people check in as long as its not officially the day before in the computer. 10 hours is awfully early but I wondered if he could get it cut down to maybe only 6 hours if they let him check in early.

Mainly why I would only do the super hero thing If I was full on superman level power. I don't think he could leave any of that stuff.... now the giant holes in walls and ceilings plus the sonic booms as hits an area....

That's why the Punisher got it right. Just kill the villains.


I never liked the Punisher his definition of guilty and murderable is far to open. Sometimes they deserve it sometimes your like dude did not have that coming.


Conversations like this make me grateful I couldn't afford comic books as a kid.


Statements like that make me sad that you couldn't afford comic books as a kid.

But for real I imagine it as the same kind of feeling I get whenever someone talks football around me.

I'm at the end of the day, a gentle soul =) So I don't like doing bodily harm to others.

Each of us has our own definition on whether people have coming or not. I am aware of that so I try not to force my ideals of justice upon others.

I made do, the library had a stack of early Batman comics so i wasn't completely bereft.

My aunt forbade me from reading comics as a kitten. Told me they teach you broken English, so no comics for me.

I don't see anything interesting about 22 madmen chasing after a ball.


To be fair I probably read a realtivly few amount of actual comics I watched a lot of cartoons and movies based of comics far more and now in my adult life I read comic a lot more.


When I was a kid I read d&d, books about history and archaeology, listened to music, and watched TV.

The Exchange

I wasn't allowed to watch cartoons either. It's like television was considered bad, so only books were allowed. And if TV was on it'd be nature documentaries, which I don't mind much to be honest.

You have to really respect exactly how many sports that covers too. I will I did play basketball and am ok with that sport even though I haven't watched it since oh 94 I wanna say.

My best friend to this day introduced me to D&D heavy metal and MTG all at once. I dove in so hard. I was around 13 I think.

The funny thing is I don't watch sports =) No interest.

Well, first of all, they aren't madmen, just a bunch of a&&~!@!s jacked up on human growth hormones and testosterone.

And furthermore, balls are round, so I don't know what the f+&~ they're chasing but it isn't a ball.

I love basketball.

The Exchange

I learnt to play MTG when I was 10 or so but didn't buy much cos of $$. D&D didn't come until I started working as an adult cat. Heavy metal I picked up from my Krazy kingdom mates around 16 or so. They came from places where vikings originated, so what did you expect when you get a kitten talking with a whole bunch of viking wannabes...

I'm a little short for basketball, besides I'm clumsy as fk.

I hate Magic: The Gathering. So much.

Sorry, I hate it so much I have to say it when someone mentions it offhand, I don't mind if people talk about it, but I feel like that should be known.


I stopped watching basketball when MJ retired.

I'm also too short for basketball, but what I lack in height I make up for in hustle, defense, and big f#%!ing feet.

"Your player tripped him on purpose!" "Come on! You've seen his clown feet, it was an accident!"

It wasn't.

Yeah I did good defense and I could make 2 and occasionally 3 pointers but I couldn't do a lay up to save my life.


For reference, I'm 5'7" but wear size 12 shoes, so the clown feet remarks were always pretty spot on.

Yeah you wear half a size larger shoe them my 5'11 self, and I've often thought my feet where big.

Because as soon as it came out everyone I knew stopped playing all other games and was super obnoxious about it.

So yes, I absolutely hate it, more than anything else, more than Freehold hates Joss Whedon even.

Wow that's really saying something right there. I play it off and one depending on the crowd i'm around but I just hold on to what I got and play get burnt out and leave it alone for years at a time. Still the thing about MTG is it really pays for every other hobby out there that involves a gaming store. Its how they make there money so its like a necessary evil.

I only did captain's ball in school. I have an inherent dislike for balls and will block every ball that comes so I ended up blocking the balls going to the goal catcher. I have a higher jump height then most would expect.

The problem was when they installed my super tall friend as the goal catcher. High jump or not you can't do much when that person is like 6 inches taller then you.

That is like me trying to box one of my friends is like 6'5 ish maybe taller and that extra reach makes it impossible to do anything with him. 2 steps forward for every step back he takes.

Me too. Anything you can pay to be pointedly better at regardless of skill is a bad game. (Skill matters in Magic; affording a good deck matters more.) It's also why I don't do Wargaming.

Talk to a game store owner I've known 3 and they all swore that without MTG they would of been out of business. I personally watched how much of that stuff they sold too. I don't think anything else even competed. The D&D books sit on the shelf until some young kid decided to try it. Warhammer stuff now if you have the community for it that stuff can sell and its high dollar with a decent overhead. most other games require a niche crowd. My big one is hero clix but I do most of that online now a days just collecting don't really get to play anymore. that one after every set they think it will be the last because its doing just at OK to keep around.

I'll believe it when I see the figures, but I don't know any store owners, so.

Digs a nice deep obstinate hole and hunkers down with a thermos of coffee and box of pop tarts.
