I guess it means that long awesome post wasn't meant to be, and you all get this. You know the rules, post anything Geek related whether it be comic book, television, video games, or movie related. You Geek oy we Meek it! Per usual we have an opening question to keep the topic going and that question is: Describe your super hero or super villain costume. Would there be a cape or no cape? Bonus Question: What would your arch hero or arch enemy's costume look like as well? Wrap up from Geek House of Hooror in the upcoming post. --- We are who we choose to be. <cite>The Wave Master posted [p:948974677] in Geekacea: ...

Street wear Grey Man. not trying to stand out for paparazzo, law enforcement, military drones, sentinels, etc. its bad enough i'm a super, i don't need to advertise and have every two bit street hoodlum and gym rat looking to test my patience when i'm just trying to get my eggroll on. absolutely, under no circumstances aside from Halloween will i wear a cape. the disadvantages outweigh the advantages imo. hero, villain, anti-hero...my role matters not. I'd rather be Clark Kent with powers than Superman. maintaining a secret identity is just too much work. my nemesis/archenemy? fuck that person. if they want to wear OSHA-approved High Viz colors with giant pauldrons, pipe their costume with buffoonery that glows like a lightsaber, ground effects in the shoes, fog machine, giant billowing cloak...hell, let them be followed everywhere they go with an 80 piece marching band playing their theme, fine with me. --- http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u260/luciferxsage/LxSsigFinal.png pigs we get what pigs deserve... -\|\\| \| \|/\| <cite>LuciferSage posted [p:948975929] in Geekacea: ...

Zeus 01/01/21 3:09:16 AM #4:	After reading Hero? I Quit that a Long Time Ago, I'm kinda back into the cloak/cape camp, although mostly because Zero uses his aura to create the disguise which is a fucking cool way of doing it. (Although he had a physical cloak prior to realizing it was easier to just manifest his aura.) If I was going to use a disguise, I'd want it to be something I could manifest quickly, instead of having to do a quick costume change. And cloaks are generally effective in terms of disguise because they obfuscate your size, posture, etc. And if it was a manifestation, the practical flaws wouldn't be issues (ie, getting tangled or stuck) The Wave Master posted... Bonus Question: What would your arch hero or arch enemy's costume look like as well? Something that strongly contrasts my disguise, because that's how you do it right. For example, if I was going for a dark armored look, my nemesis would need would need white armor. If my look accentuated size, theirs would need a more slender design. Then on a concept level, their weapons/abilities would either have to be similar to mine with some contrast (ie, if we both used "magic," we'd use different styles -- water vs fire, light vs darkness, etc) or a more complementary contrast (ie, if I went with magic, they could be a swordsman or archer since it'd be in keeping with a more medieval theme... or it'd be magic vs science or something) --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:948980558] in Geekacea: ...

The Wave Master 01/02/21 8:37:55 AM #5:	I haven't seen P.O. post in a while, but I also don't look at other topics on Gamefaqs, so who knows. I'm currently playing through Final Fantasy VII Remake again after the move, and the game is much better when my stomach isn't turning hard and trying to kill me, or 2 people I love dearly aren't dropping dead. I understand the game play better, and the story makes a lot more sense. I was clearly distracted by life to enjoy the game, and a restart was all I needed. Also, apple pop tarts and fruit loop pop tarts are really freaking good. The second one taste like a bowl of fruit loops without the milk or bowl. --- We are who we choose to be. <cite>The Wave Master posted [p:949016729] in Geekacea: ...

Zeus 01/05/21 1:39:38 AM #20:	After watching most of DefunctLand's Jim Henson videos (as well as a lot of their other stuff lately -- which has been somewhat addicting; I honestly didn't think I'd enjoy watching videos about rollercoasters when I've never been a fan of rollercoasters), I noticed that the Happyland Murders were available on NF. I had wanted to watch it ever ever since learning it was a thing and... it was alright. However, the lack of worldbuilding really bugged me. There's never any explanation for why puppets are just living alongside humans, no real discussion as to the mechanics of how they exist, inconsistency regarding their ability to get hurt or die, why they're disliked by humans, etc. I'd be okay with taking it as a given that they just exist if not for those inconsistent rules regarding their physiology. It just felt very incomplete. However, having watched the Happyland Murders, now I'm kinda interested in watching Bright (which didn't interest me much even before it was critically panned) simply because it shares part of the premise. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:949118071] in Geekacea: ...

Zeus 01/07/21 10:28:53 PM #31:	Watched the Chase. It's kinda backwards because I'm inclined to root for the "chaser" rather than the contestants (and I'm inclined to believe that many others feel the same) simply because we know and like these former Jeopardy champs. That kinda fucks with the dramatic tension, etc, and reverses where it normally would be. It wouldn't be an issue if they had gone with a more controversial or despised Jeopardy champion (Arthur Chu being a good example, although even he wasn't really hated). The first episode was... eh. The assigned nicknames are stupid. (Ken Jennings is the "Professor," a nickname I've never heard for him. "Jeopardy" James was called "The Highroller" -- which makes sense -- but he's really just known as Jeopardy James, which makes it a little silly. Granted, it might be a trademark issue with Sony.) The host sucks. The format has issues, particularly the "low offer" has relatively limited purpose since the minimum is set reasonably high. Likewise, there doesn't seem to be much disadvantage to the "high offer" being some crazy amount.
