    My Wife is in TV Guide - Who Wants To Be A Superhero 2

    He probably would, kind of like he had just finished chiding them for missing the Lost Dog in the last episode. But, didn't the Defuser give Limelight the Pep Talk BEFORE Mindset upset her? It looks like Defuser saw an opportunity to take on the Fearless Leader persona, and Mindset decided to...

    Crocodile Hunter's Daughter

    My daughter absolutely loves Bindi, so I can't complain. Sometimes the show really bothers me...not because Bindi herself is annoying, but because the whole premise of the show seems cruel...her father was stabbed in the heart by a stingray and died less than a year ago, so let's have her do a...

    Sylar to play Spock in JJ Abrams' Star Trek re-make!

    I thought Quinto was really good as Sylar, that he is able to give a pretty nuanced performance. He said in one of the interviews that he was looking forward to working with Nimoy, and that when asked how much of Nimoy's style he would put into his Spock, Quinto said something to the effect...

    Sylar to play Spock in JJ Abrams' Star Trek re-make!

    Zach Quinto (AKA Sylar from Heroes) is signed on to play Spock's younger self in the new JJ Abrams-directed Star Trek movie. Nimoy will have a "meaty cameo", but Quinto will be playing him in the flashback/new origin story that the movie will focus on. I think...cool...

    B09S displaced Fey-book or Giant-book

    Ari, why do you say that? What other parts of 3.5 would have to be rebuilt to make a CR system like that work? It would require a complete rebuild of the creatures in the Monster Manual from the ground up, but I don't see how a better-streamlined CR system would neccessarily impact the rest of...

    He Whose Name Must Not Be Spoken

    I may be interpereting the spell description MUCH too liberally, but I've been allowing PCs to do something like this with the Scry spell as written for years. I consider "the last person who spoke my name" to be as valid a "connection" to the target of a scrying spell as a picture. The target...

    Masters of Science FIction on ABC

    I saw a promo for this last night, for the first time. They've got some interesting casting going on, too. Terry O'Quinn is in one of the eps, and the guy that played Cigarette Smoking Man in X-Files. The production values looked a little campy on some of the shots, but not all of them, so it...

    Would it be cannibalism to eat a polymorphed chicken?

    If the chicken can be restored back to its' human form (and it can, through various means), then eating the chicken is cannibalism, I think. If it was changed into a chicken in some way that was irreversable, completely subsuming the human essense of the victim and changing it into chicken...

    A famous person and a D&D role you'd like to see him/her play

    Joss Whedon. DM. :cool:

    Transformers

    I dunno... The way they ended the movie, with Prime sending out a message to "any autobots still out there", I think it's a foregone conclusion that a second movie will involve new autobots showing up. And with the bit at the end where Starscream gets away, I think it's just as likely that we...

    What should a 3rd level wizard buy with 250K+ gold?

    Somehow, I suspect you'll be seeing an awful lot of encounters WAY above your party level, or critical situations that you will be expected to be able to handle. Your DM probably has some plans to throw way over-powered stuff at you, based on the back-story you gave us, and expects that the...

    Rate Transformers

    A great summer action movie. There was a lot of screen time devoted to the human cast, yeah, but I can't think of a single major human character that I didn't like. I hope they all come back for the sequels. I hope there ARE sequels! A few of the requisite plot holes of the sort present in...

    Transformers

    Ditto that. A scene that I would like to see would involve one of the marines (probably the army Sergeant Lennox), and one of the Autobots (Ironhide, maybe?) commiserating soldier-to-soldier. It could have been a very short scene, but would have tied the two groups of characters together...

    Iron Man Armor Revealed (not the tin version) [SPOILERS]

    Woah...easy, there. No one in this thread said the movie was doomed, and so far it seems like we all agree with you that the casting and costuming are spot-on. I simply said that this ONE piece of promotional material was disappointing. I'll go into more detail as to why: it's an OFFICAL...

    Interesting core-rules character builds

    I've got a goblin wolf-riding druid that I've never goten to play. Another fun one was a plain ol' human illusionist. What made him fun was the craft skills I picked up for him: I made him an artist, calligrapher and a painter. He had modded all his wands to look like paint brushes, and...

    Iron Man Armor Revealed (not the tin version) [SPOILERS]

    Hmm... On the positive side, the casting is really good. That really looks like Rhodey, Pepper, Tony and Obadiah. On the negative side, the poses they have them standing in are REALLY CHEESEY. Are they going with a campy angle for the Iron Man movie? Seeing the promo shots of the armor...

    "The Man With The Hat is Back"

    Old guy on a porch? Yeah, maybe. But it's an old INDIANA JONES on a porch... And that makes me happy.

    Vulgar language in fantasy

    This is a really good example of the kind of profanity that doesn't bother me in a fantasy book. As Paul said, it had a purpose, it set tone and character, and was used in-context. Had he toned it down; say, something like "I sloshed through crap up to my ankles", THAT would have bothered...
