The NZA

I...cant..stop...watchin...trailer.... This is why i hate PC games. Am i gonna havta upgrade? Searched the FAQ for a system requirements to no avail... also, showed it to Artistic & Satcha, i think he's pretty sold on it too. Between Cowboy, Wolverine and others i see myself actually makin a number of different accounts, if thats possible too. Did anyone else notice they hint at an expansion that allows play as supervillians? The website's great, havent joined their forum but Chiefy has, says members get a shot at the beta this spring (!), so let us know what happens there. I know Chief mentioned this earlier, but shit - you can actually build & maintain a superhero base/fortress! Thats badass. Im dyin to hear the details on that - real estate charges, what can be done with the base as far as logos/defense/etc... If this game is half of what its promisin, im gonna be less social this summer

Alright, Stewie, ill stay away from Luc-ass for the time bein, but Stan the man i gotta say somethin. I often credit the writer with the creation of a character too. But in this case, well lets take Spider-Man. Supposedly, Stan wakes up one nite round 3am, calls & wakes up Steve Ditko & says "Ive got it! A man with spider powers! A spider-man!". Next day, Steve designs Spidey's costume, powers, entire style, and much of his origin. Stan handles the leftovers ("make him a wrestler!") & names him Peter Parker. So, did Stan create Spider-Man, or Steve, if it comes down to it? Same way with legendary Jack Kirby, with the x-men, fantastic four, avangers, captain america...most of the marvel universe. But when Kirby was dying & simply wanted his original art to go to his family and Marvel said "no" - they were huge dicks back in the day, hence why the lost Frank Miller, and alla those guys left to make Image - well, lets just say that Stan the man, despite his former "best friend"'s pleas, decided to shut up for the first time in his life, and did nothing. Of course, after Kirby's death, Stan took credit for (his words here) "Whatever wasnt nailed down". Even today, if you came up with an entirely new guy for Marvel, your book would start "Stan Lee presents"...do you see DC doin that shit with Bob Kane, Jerry Seigel etc? And Stan's recent batch of re-telling the DC legend's origins just goes to show that his "creativity" apparently died alongside Kirby. I know im bein rough here, but while Stan was a great writer back in the day, he's not the living legend Marvel lets him pimp himself out as, hence why StanLee.net and its hundreds of new characters went bankrupt after only a few months. I only jump on Lee's ass because he seems to take all the credit for Kirby's massive contributions with a smile.

1)TD's got a point, hope it dont lock folks out. JunkerSeed mentioned it might be solved with Diablo-type password protected fights, so one could just jump back in or invite others durin a break...? Whaddya think TD, youre the man with online gaming. 2)Keep those class details pumping, that last list Chiefy put out just gave me a stiffy. This shit is soundin badass: i might just have to buy it retail & jump in with everyone else. Any word on monthly fees? Dont wanna end up like TD, headin out west & shackin up with some crazy dragon-lady *smacks forehead as it occurs to him he's halfway there* Real quick thing: how many of you are thinkin of creatin your own original guy, and on the side, bein the 5,248th Iron Whore/Wolverine/Batman etc? Be honest...

Interestin, tho Jumbie's obvious choice would be that closest to his heart. But arent the heroes/plots of a different formula? Epics, of which your space opera there falls under, are often considered "journey movies" - Kevin Smith recently summed up Lord of the Rings as 3 hours of "walking around". :thinking: Also, its been said many times: your boy Luke follows Joeseph Campbell's hero formula to a tee: early/cocky failure before teaching finishes, betrayl, triumph, return home etc. The western and gangster films...many favorites are of the anti-hero, cant say i can think of many current popular sci-fi flicks along these lines. Also, while i respect both fields, your sci-fi/epics are far grander; even the best of westerns - The Searchers, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly, Rio Bravo - are based on base human emotions: revenge, greed, and justice, respectively. Gangster films, likewise on power & greed. I dunno, i like your idea, but lets hear some examples that make the transition smoother.

Irishman = me, in some descendancy anyway, reallly more American than anythin. And im not sure how i go with ice cream, to be honest... :blush: ...youre an odd little fellow.

Give it a try, see how ya do. Could you be an Olympic Contender?

Yes sir, he gets my vote. Gentelmen, welcome to Fight Club, home of the underdogs. :optimus: :afro: "Now remember Optimus, you go down in the 3rd. This fight will be fantabulous."

Hahaha! I get it! Hey, fuck you and your stereotypical jokes. But even tho i think youre a racist old kraut, i still appreciate your efforts....

Er...i guess that 'n makes sense too.... i was told it was the whole, ya know i explained it before & it seemed to bother def so ill leave it be, no more talkin bout Yodelin' in the valley for me. :wary:

could i get a pic/description on this Mr Satan Hercules guy?

No, no Eyeore, i aint truly offended, and this is a forum of freedom, no one will change their words for me (only in the Lyceum...). Its just semantics that confuses me; feel free to ask as many guys as ya please to give you head, but be forewarned: they might be like me and subsequently think you have a thingy down there. I dont make a big deal of her, but if i was a chick, id prolly cling to Joan Jett too, she's pretty cool. Cranberry chick too. :D Personally, i too think it sucks pretty hard that bitch-ass Brittttney (Def has a point, i too shall mispell her name) covered that song; i felt similar when Puff Daddy covered Sting & The Police. Spears oughta keep singin bout how sometimes boys make her cry & shit, the posing aint workin. Shes about as much a woman as Jeniffer Lopez is an actual Latin chick. damn this caucozoid whore!

Nice comeback, Shirley. And my boy's still up top of dem polls, last i checked. Fair an square...

Mulan tells me that's called "curling" (she watches the olympics, sadly). Not curling like the workout, but rather an excercise in homosexuality, apparently. Hey, you know what made that shit look straight? Did you watch the openin ceremony with some fuck skating around between icicle homos lookin for his inner flamer? That shit...my god, that shit made Richard Simmons say "...fag."

Yes, Joan Jett is cool. Yes, women can indeed be vicious, life-sucking bitches. And no, men do not "give women head"; that requires a dick & thereby a head to go down on. Goin down on a chick is cleanin the carpet, putting from the muff, etc but no head is involved. Just wanted to clear that 'n up, the last chick that asked me to give her head almost got decked 'cause i thought that meant she was a guy....:emotions:

What kinda horseshit...? My boy massacres Maximus, another one shows up? Judge, the man's tired! Aw fuck it, he'll win again, he's good for it. And im sure he can out-farm any rich general boy anyway.

Ok, scratch what i said bout "Freedom Force", this is the one i read bout in Wizard a few months back. Not only does it look/sound very impressive, but it boasted a few things i thought were badass ideas (Chiefy, correct me if im wrong on any of these): 1) The ability to be a hero or a villian. 2) Mission quests (like in Diablo, EQ etc) but superhero/comic based. 3) The most ambitious thing i read in the article i saw was "the ability to customize costume, powers, origin etc garuntees no 2 heroes or villians on this MMORPG will be the same." Tho im still expectin a dozen or so Batmen to be on at any given time, this still sounds incredible. The idea's been a long time comin & sounds badass; from the looks of the stuff on this site as well, it could really be somethin huge - here's to hopin it comes through on its promises...might just get me back into PC RPGs online. What does everyone else think?

'S ok, many folks do, Yahven, Chiefy etc but none reply...

Sonofa... well, at least i got it this time. Soon as Mr Y gets us a workin & reliable FTP, ill post it there & link to it, sorry to the folks who didnt get a chacne to see it but ya will, and its worth it.

damn, an entire conversation went on here a while back, didnt even notice it. Hey, speakin of which, where the hell did Al go? Cmon back, i cant do this video game forum all by myself (must focus on Lyceum)! Cmon we even gots movie smileys now, see? :D :optimus: :jay: :bob:

Never said it wasnt; just tastes like ass incarnate. I learned long time back that things which taste terrible are often good for me. Is Dr Nestle responsible for my chocolate milk? :ill: bad joke, walk on by people, it never happened... Overeating is a problem with many Americans apparently, but i still feel many could preseve their diet & tastes with little to no change if they 1) lessen the quauntity and more importantly 2) excercise, be it gym, running (joggin is no good), swimming, etc, of which this article pointed out. Always rubbed me wrong that many others in the world starve or simply eat food that hasnt been kept well/gone bad etc while we cant seem to stop eatin. Jumbie, you think it's more of this advertisin as this Dr says, or an issue of lack of discipline in this regard?

Lookee, ma! That feller who recommended "Thin Red Line" & "Wild, Wild West" has anudder favorite! Cletus, go on 'n git the gun! *activates thermal optics & hides*

Yeah, it was fun to play along with that one, until it came back with Louie Anderson. "Please merciful god, kill me now." The show just depresses me when the host clearly dont wanna be there.

... Right, ah, that...that worked. Thanks.

I recall Kee seemed to go for it, Spiffytee wasnt a fan tho - hey, isnt Jim Henson dead?

I had hoped, when you were younger, that all the Fernandez smartass had worn off on TD; he seemed to have enough for generations. I fear i was wrong.... very well smaratass, I tried that, and only got another streaming media file - if you do manage to save that/locate it in window's temporary internet files, feel free to let me know the file's name, i really do wanna keep it before its taken down again.
