i posted a jumping the shark has jumped the shark thread in the tv/movies/books forum about a year ago. so hexgrid is right, talking about jumping the shark, jumping the shark, has already jumped the shark.

Protection from Evil states "Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for exaample) or to exericise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over...

Thank you. I thought I was all alone in this world. :D

okey dokey. i just woke up. so i'll give the long version of the story and my reasons for not liking it. i'll try to make it coherent. (wow...its really long and rambling... i guess i failed) and i'm gonna put it all behind a spoiler tag because the title of the thread doesnt say spoilers...

i am now thoroughly convinced i live on a different planet than everyone else. this movie might have been worse than revenge of the sith. or maybe i'm just being hard on it because its fresher in my mind. so i gave it the same 4 i gave sith. there was ZERO applause in my theatre, so even if...

Yes. Since you put SPOILERS in the title, I'm forgoing the the hidden text and jumping right in. I'm sure that's where this is going. The real question is...what will Jon do about it? Will he ditch his irritatingly stupid blind sense of duty and actually become a likable character once he...

i was very blunt, and i know that many might consider that harsh, but its better you get the truth from a stranger than hollow praises from friends. personal attack? I know NOTHING about you personally. Every single one of my comments was directed at your products. Well, actually, some of them...

not every bit and piece needs to move the books plot forward. character development is important too. and i have one question to those who think the sex scenes dont move the book forward or add anything of value. do you like the lord of the rings? because those books have tons of stuff that is...

if one has a 6 con and one is stone there's a better way. force them to use all thier money and XP to revert those two members back to normal. this works even better if they dont have access to magic that can fix these problems themselves. (with no arcane caster, and the ability to declare vile...

my problems with the ultimate universe? warning, thread-jack in progress. "readers are confused by our books" say the men in charge...so they rather than hire some good writers and artists to fix the pre-existing books. they invented a secondary universe and put the high-profile creators on...

the spoilerific play by play two ugly covers. the first 4 pages consist of Wanda (the Scarlet Witch) dreaming about giving birth to her kids and Prof X telling her to put the world back because the children never existed. As she stops the dream-memories, she cries out that she killed the...

It sucked. Decompression sucks. I'm glad they remembered that Simon and Pietro existed. I'm sad that Simon gave stock "upset-guy" dialogue and had nothing important to do or say. Prof X was WAAAAAY out of character. Why are these freaks listening to Emma at all? Oh, right, probably the same...

Taking forever to make a character to play is fun. Searching for the perfect feats and combination of skill points and spells to know. Plus you only have to add one level at a time. For a DM, its irritating to make high level characters all at once.

Um, dude. The first response you get asks the simple question any customer would. "Why would I buy you product as opposed to another one?" Your answer was "Your reply sums up the difficulty of the market." Absolutely not. Thats the REALITY of any business. Nobody is just gonna give you money...

i strongly advise not clicking the spoilers link. i also strongly advise not seeing the movie without watching the tv show. while the movie might be enjoyable for some of the dialogue and action sequences, any emotional impact the movie might have will be lost if you arent already attached to...

The following post will discuss some of the previous books in the series and my take on the characters. If you haven't read the series, skip this post and go read it. While I don't intend to discuss specific spoiler plot points, you might be able to piece together certain things that have...

i asked a question, that I still didnt get an answer to. Before the prequels were released, did you really WANT (or even expect) Anakin to be a whiny brat as opposed to a cool bad guy? I still believe that the vast vast vast majority answers this question NO. If you think my wording implies...

right and the other lie told to kids today is that stereotypes and generalizations are bad. they aren't. if someone says "nobody wanted this" it OBVIOUSLY means "most people didnt want this" generalizations are a useful and necessary part of conversation, because if you have to leave room for...

wait... after watching the original trilogy, and knowing that the prequels would be about the fall on Anakin, instead of some epic fall from grace, with a noble young hero doing the wrong things for the right reasons or feeling such deep betrayal that he felt he had no choice but to turn to the...

stupid star wars threads made me miss this. i've been waiting for this trailer since I heard about the movie and it looks better than expected. Racknir, I've never read PS 238, but I can list about 238 other comic books with the same exact plot. In the last few years, its become cool to go...
