Releasing this under FOIA destroys the (already obviously ridiculous) claim of "absolute privilege," strengthening the case for obstruction. If it's privileged, it's privileged; it can't be released for some purposes but not to Congressional subpoena.

Mega Mana 12/06/19 3:10:45 AM #6 | There's nothing better than the Original 2013 Rewind (with Gentleman), but the past two years have made me appreciate even the less enthusiastic follow-ups from years past. One of my favorite things about viewing past Rewinds long after is recognizing things and creators you didn't know at the time and noticing something new every time. This is a list of the top ten things that trended/viewed on Youtube with no other context aside from exact number value attached for its inclusion. If last year's was a failure due to acceding to the wild and disparate voices of a fanbase, this was coldly submitting to data. The whimsy, creativity, and confidence are long gone. But I did get a fun few hours watching the WatchMojo video, all the past Rewinds, then a bunch of Nigahiga videos, and now it's time to stop talking and do some walking... to bed. It's 3am.

Beat a game with the supernatural as a central theme X-COM: Enemy Unknown - For a game I've quit many times over, I'm surprised it took me only two days to restart and beat. The last time I played was in 2015 and I was too obsessed keeping all of Justice League International alive and well, and I scrapped my newest file two days ago after I got most of the New Mutants killed. So, with my team of random Marvel superheroes, I finally powered through! It was... a lot less punishing than I remember. I think my problem was I was treating it as a "finish missions as quickly as possible to get good grades" when that's only the case in Bomb and Civilian missions. So I was a lot more careful, a lot more economically focused, and developed a really good team by the end. **** RHYTHM GAMES.

Mega Mana 11/28/19 9:08:55 AM #491 | 3. Beat a game released between 2000-2009 Tomb Raider: Legend 28. Beat a game with the supernatural as a central theme Alan Wake - Both were solid games with somewhat similar gameplay. Both are decently linear slow burn exploration games with good stories. Both have lots of collectibles just off the beaten path, and both have annoying unexpected checkpoints that prevents going back to explore by accidentally going through the right door to advance the plot. Both have I've been recommended Alan Wake for years, and I'm glad my computer finally decided to run it. I'll probably try and collect all the pages in Nightmare Mode for next year's challenge, but I've said that about a lot of games so far I forget about a day or two later (Heartbeat, Dragon Age: Origins, 428 Shibuya Scramble). It had a decent story, and some good characters (and some terrible ones... like Nightingale), but there were a lot of frustrating bugs and glitches, repetitive combat, and exploration with endlessly respawning shadows where there weren't any collectibles in the end was discouraging. At least it told you that pages were locked until a new game after completion, and the constant loss of all your supplies kept hoarding down. Tomb Raider Legend I beat about two weeks ago, so it's alot less fresh, but I definitely had a better time with it than Alan Wake. Platforming and puzzles were excellent, and collectibles actually had unlocks for gameplay and gallery items. Why am I collecting coffee canisters in Alan Wake? Why pages? There are no alternate endings, collecting 100 cups of coffee is nothing but an achievement (instead of like an extra bar of health for every 25 or 50; Alan Wake is a terrible writer for giving himself a bunch of things to collect and them not having any impact at all aside from achievement hunting).

Topic | X-Men Draft Round 1: Blue Division |
Mega Mana 11/21/19 1:13:26 AM #37 | IhatethisCPU posted... Mega Mana vs. MegamanX. ...I dislike how vague the pitch is, and the illogical part of me thinks it's partially a way to justify Cable, who I have a bit of a personal grudge against, and I stongly dislike Daken's existence. The team itself works well together, however, the roles you set for them make sense, and that... actually made me interested in the series. Just extraneous commentary because I really had fun in the draft: 1. The vagueness of the pitch is something I'll work on for next round. I spent quite a while trying to incorporate everything into something succinct, but it got bloated so I scrapped a whole ton of stuff to try and put forth something I'd see on one of those pages in the middle of book from the nineties with a quick blurb for why you should pick up the next issue of one of several different titles. Next time, I'm gonna take out a full-page ad instead of a blurb among eight other titles. Booyah! 2. Time travel didn't even come to mind until the fourth round of drafts! I don't really remember who was on my shortlist at the time, but families were the big thing I was thinking about, Northstar wouldn't work were my third round drafts, I think someone I was looking at hard just got grabbed up, but then I kind of paused on Widget for a bit and started thinking about it, and how she is Kate Pryde, and an Excalibur kind of book paired with the stories in Powers of X, and how all the pieces could work together... I ramble, but it was all Widget for time travel. 3. There's definitely an Exiles element that's unavoidable, but I think the core difference of that book and this one is that, for the most part, those were all "What If?" characters. What if Mimic was the best X-Man? What if Magneto was the good guy and Professor X the bad guy? What if Thunderbird was... whatever Thunderbird was? The team could be anyone and the situations they go to could be anything? There's a fun quality to the sheer creative potential of it, but there's not a starting immediacy or weight to things even with an 'anyone can die at any time and get replaced by a new toy' premise. Future of X is using the lived-in characters of the 616 canon with their histories, biases, opinions, goals, and dynamics where what they do and where they go show the impact of choices and possibilities made in the present. They are 'What Ifs?' but seen and interacted with by the people that can still prevent it, unlike the Watchers who just narrate these altered stories or the Exiles who jump in and out completing objectives. They go in, they interact, they learn, they have to figure out what makes things go wrong and why, and grapple with predestination and butterfly effect and their own selfishness. I would hope it's not just a doom and gloom ride, but I'd say... if Team Arrow was doing the Legends of Tomorrow missions. There's a good chunk of seriousness about the mission and hard choices and making decisions along the way, but there's a great camaraderie and a level of levity that keeps it entertaining as a book without going overboard into a sitcom. 4. I am not a fan of Daken either. Was angling towards Jimmy Hudson, possibly Honey Badger, originally, but in the wait for Johnbobb... Daken just seemed to make more sense with who was already drafted. I don't think I'd want Cable being Jimmy Hudson's mentor, but someone who wouldn't put up with Daken's ****? Sure. Storm had a wild streak back in the day and can relate and temper Daken and join him in meditation and not judge him for the sins of his father or his past. Likewise, I think Prestige and Daken could have a really good friendship and don't if that's happened in the comics. Also, Shatterstar/Daken? An interesting possible ship. He also adds a good recklessness and intrigue of misdeed to the missions. --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD |
Topic | X-Men Draft Round 1: Blue Division |
Mega Mana 11/20/19 5:11:52 PM #24 | As far as team roles - Storm: Balance and leadership, making the hard choices to do what's right for the present course even if things look far too bleak Prestige: The moral compass. She has probably the most and best ties to the group as the best friend of Widget (Kate Pryde), close kinship with her "half-brother" and later adopted son Cable, wild child with a dark past and famous father (and Grey/Howlett chemistry) with Daken, and the hopes for finding a better future despite a superpowerful destiny (Phoenix/Seeds) hanging over their heads with Genesis. She is the core character and the one most books would have a narrator's focus on. She can question decisions and provide emotional and moral viewpoints that lend better gravity to what their team encounters. Cable: The Commander. He's not always Mr. Military Man, but he's excellent at die hard situations and making sure everyone gets put alive. He can be counted on for the high-risk missions, but there's a tenseness he can't shake if things are going well or better than expected. Where Rachel brings some form of optimism, Cable, despite raising Hope and his future looking ever more a distant possibility, still can't shake some pessimism, a quality that hurts any relationship he has with Genesis but keeps a steady, realistic weight to things that may be tpo good to be true. A healthy amount of paranoia to keep the team guided true. Danger & Prodigy: The Brains. Danger is a super advanced alien AI who can connect and process information quickly while Prodigy is a super genius retinue of information who can sort through everything and focus on the relevance. Both can work separately and in tandem, often providing different sets of data, logic, and viewpoints to snd from every mission to help deduce the best course of action. Shatterstar & Daken: The Brawn. They are there to fight when fighting's needed and get out slive doing it. They rarely if ever back down when the going gets tough, and what happens if the tough parts are familiar future faces trying to keep you from doing what's best? I also think between Rachel, Daken, and Shatterstar (with a side of Kate, potentially, and Prodigy), there's some soap opera romantic angles that could lead to much more believably risque flings than most books. Widget: The Ghost in the Machine. Literally. Widget can teleport the entire team across time and space, often seemingly at random. But with Prestige's psychic and emotional connection to Kate and Danger's technological brilliance and Cable's acumen with time-hopping technology, Widget can be guided with much more precision back-and-forth than ever before. She is also a woman out of time and out of body, able to relate to Danger and Shard better than most. Genesis: The Cutie. He is the superpowerful and most innocent of the group, the babe with fresh eyes who is predestined to live out his father's life by all who see him, but reaches for a brighter tomorrow. Probably has the most 'kick the puppy' moments, unfortunately. Shard: The X-Factor. From a hard future, sister of Bishop, photonic hologram entity. She's got ancillary ties to every member and is the glue. With the aid of Prodigy and Danger, she gains form and function once more, possibly even merging with Widget to give both herself and Kate corporeal motor and fighting functionality. --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD |

Mega Mana 11/20/19 4:20:14 PM #23 | Future of X - As if the X-Men universe isn't already overly complicated right now, we're throwing a team together to battle potential futures, on top of the potential futures already set up in Marvel. I get the idea that this is a little bit like an Exiles team, but Storm as the star of it actually does the concept a disservice. I would be more on-board with someone leading the title who had some vested interest in the future, like Rachel or Nathan. Storm feels shoehorned into this role. I was brief in my summary (thinking of a quick summary for solicits as the pitch), but I actually think Storm is a balanced leader for the team. Though Rachel and Cable are the lieutenant generals, they both have their own futures that may compromise some missions for how close things might get to what they were trying to prevent in the first place, and Storm would be much more concerned about the balance and making the hard choice to do what's right for the present. She's tough when she needs to be and makes strong, fast, hard decisions when they need to be made. She can have a commanding presence that earns fear and respect, but she also has a gentle touch that would better keep someone like Daken from acting out and Genesis feeling aspirational and motivated to be his best self. I feel both Rachel and Cable are great in their roles, and are better without the full burden of the decision-making of potentially heavy consequential choices. --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD |

I think that Emma and Juggernaut together don't have a strong counter on the other side; without either of them, Jean's got a chance of superiority all on her own. It's also tough because three fire-types at once could be detrimental, but there's no one to suppress the fury. Meanwhile, Rocket X surpisingly has one of my favorite pitches. Succinct, tells a solid story, good enough cast. The second match was a lot tougher. I don't really want to solicit either book, but I like the story setup in Spy Calibur-X more, and both fights are alright, but I give the nod to M and Wild Child. Third match is a curbstomp fight for sure, but the pitch was the hardest match-up of the round. I think the Doop's X-Angels is a dumb name, poor pitch, and I don't really know what the book is about aside from ladies going into action. But I think I would still read it over team super awesome conquers the galaxy. And I loooove Match Four. The fight is super interesting and if we can change votes, I might do so later, but right now... ahhh, I love that fight. Really interesting and dynamic teams that complement the other side well. And I scroll up to double-check the pitches again because as much as I like the Siryn team and how they came together, and as bad (or brilliantly bad) as Object Impermutants is, that is a book I want to buy. I love the premise, how they came together, and as a limited series, I know we'll likely get great story beats and conclusions. --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD |

I think everyone did a top 5, worth 5 to 1, and then they would total those and top 6 would get 15, 12, 9, 6. 3, 1.

Mega Mana 11/17/19 12:41:16 PM #473 | Just for clarification, the "no alternate reality, no future arc" rule applies primarily to the characters drafted, correct? Like, the team itself is comprised of the 616-living characters and could feasibly take place in main continuity. But if the team went to alternate realities or future arcs, that would be okay? --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD |

Mega Mana 11/17/19 12:24:48 PM #463 | All pitches must take place in the Marvel Universe (616). No alternate realities or future skips, etc. It must take place alongside the rest of Marvel continuity.
