Holy shit. Just started watching the beginning of Pacific Rim, and was shocked to realize that Agent Sternyface on The Blacklist is the main character's older brother in Pacific Rim. Freaky.

I might be the only one as giddy as a schoolgirl for this Sunday, but fuck it, Kenzi is going to be back! Unfortunately, if you aren't in Canada or a pirate it won't be until January I believe, but waiting is for suckas!

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was thinking of. Some bad luck and all of a sudden your 3 wounds are gone and you're fucked. Being shaken would just make that even easier to happen.

So what you're saying is, you're the GM this setting deserves, and the one it needs right now...or something that would make that mangled quote work better. EDIT: Oh, and I take "giving this world a heart" to mean there will be whores. Because whores have hearts of gold, we all know that.

Arrow rarely disappoints me. I enjoyed seeing someone else's flashbacks for a change, that's for sure. I'm not really a fan of Sarah, to be honest, but she does play the part of the Black Canary well. Because this has been bugging me, I'm going to make you all aware of it now. I love the...

Show is ok for me, despite a few glaring flaws. Like the fact that this dude they just made normal can still have his mind read by ULTRA and give away the location of their hideout. But all of that aside, I will keep watching if Cara keeps looking hot as fuck. I couldn't find a better...

Can we get any elaboration on that, without giving away details? More importantly, will there be whores?

RunePunk is definitely weird. As far as Savage Worlds in general, I'll have to see it in action for awhile I guess, but at first glance it doesn't blow me away. I like the concept of edges and skills, but the wound mechanism and shaken seem a little imbalanced. As mentioned previously...

Not sure how to embed something from Comedy Central so here's a link. Woodsy Office - Video Clip | Comedy Central Side note, while that particular clip isn't all that amazing, Upright Citizen's Brigade was the best show on television at the time.

I took that more in the vein of him trying to deny any romantic entanglement between the two of them, so he could get busy with Skye. I could be wrong, but that's how I took it. If they are psychically linked and she still snuck up on him and knocked him the fuck out, I'll be disappointed.

That's what made making a character so tough for me (and probably the others). Never having played a system, you don't realize what comes into play frequently and what doesn't, what skills are more useful, etc. Personally, the only thing I saw right off, which could be completely misguided...

I actually thought he was going to tell her, because he obviously had the epiphany that they've always been together through all of this, and he couldn't bear to do it alone. Combined with the hitting on Skye at the beginning, I honestly thought that was where they were taking it, because he'd...

I'm not saying they didn't possibly fib a little, but he more specifically said they had to work with the Moroccan office, which was probably just the closest SHIELD office, not necessarily one they were directly flying over at the time. I liked this episode quite a bit, even though there...

How is the clocking coming?

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. It sort of bothered me that guns were so much more powerful than standard melee weapons in this setting, but I figured that was just how it was. I'm definitely lacking in standard rulebook comprehension, but my book should show up today, which means plenty of...

Nothing wrong with that character Zhaun. It's a great support character, which was your goal from what you've said. It is good that we don't have all fighters. I freely admit that I suck at characters that don't get bloody, so I'm glad you don't. As far as the older brother (or sister)...

While the future mother is definitely cute, I'd have much rather had it be someone that looked like the girl he carried up the the lighthouse. She's substantially hotter than the mother.

The problem for me is, with a computer with a decent amount of power required to play the majority of games being released in the near future, it is dumb NOT to have stuff like that built into it, even if people do have it on their TVs. All that power sitting there doing nothing but waiting to...

I'm a nerd. I almost never like the character sheets that are provided with these games, so I invariably end up making my own. This is just a quick one thrown together, and I am already thinking I might have to remake it with sharper lines, different fonts, more room for hindrances (forgot...

I'm confused by all the Weird Science shit myself (and a lot of other things). Thinking I might say fuck the melee and go Demonologist now

If you're referring to Background Edges, they changed the rule so you can take them whenever you want. Which makes sense to me, given how many of them there are you'd never get to use the majority of them otherwise. If you're referring to something else, then I'm unaware of it. I get the...

Ok, someone tell me if I'm crazy and my thinking is totally wrong. Malakar melee-based character, with the ability to take some damage as well. Innate racial edges are claws (count as runic) that do STR+2 damage, resistance to magic, poison, etc. 4 pts in Hindrances, allowing me to buy...

That will be 4 melee'ish characters if we assume Laura makes a tank like she said. That's not a bad thing, as most of these games lend themselves to melee characters anyway. For the Sellsword profession, you still have to buy the Sellsword edge, correct? The end result being that you then...

I knew they weren't going to live, but I was actually looking forward to the new couple to be around for awhile because they were far more interesting than anyone else right now. Sucks when your best characters are 15-min throwaways.

Yeah I just reviewed that section and edited my post above as you were posting this. I had the whole system wrong, but I see how it works now. I was confusing it with stuff like parry and toughness. Thanks for the clarification. Now let me just make sure I understand skill choice...

Oh yeah, I forgot about skills. Still in the process of familiarizing myself with the whole system. Are derived skills automatically bumped whenever you purchase an upgrade to the base attribute? Like in your example, if your Smarts started at a d4, but your Spellcasting (Arcane) skill has...

Well, they believe in that old goddess of Shadow chick! Yeah, I noticed there wasn't a lot of fleshing out there. I'm pretty much decided on the Malakar melee character, now I just have to familiarize myself with all of the standard rules so I'm not missing obvious skills like two-weapon...

Hey, don't worry, it is just as awkward being the guy that calls her your wife and instigates that whole line of conversation! I was like, I could swear he said wife, did I fuck up?! After 22 years though, I'm sure you've been through it enough that it isn't a big deal. As far as character...

Nothing going on in the picture, but what Trollface is doing while looking at it is an entirely different matter.

I'll be leaving work in about 10 minutes, then it will take me 15-20 minutes to get home, so about 10 till I should be available.

No, but I guess I misspoke when trying to be funny by giving the thread a different name. I do think Regan is a legend, he's my favorite after all. But I don't necessarily know if everyone else does (half the people I mention him to in real life have never even heard of him, whereas they've...

Since this is now the "Comedians That Aren't Legends Yet But Are Still Good" thread, surprised no one has mentioned my favorite:

I got distracted with stuff like the Lynch book so am only a little over halfway through this one right now. I haven't clicked any of the spoilers, but from the general comments above, it isn't really grabbing me either. It isn't horrible, and I'll finish it, but I'm not dying to read it...

Thanks for the heads up. I just want to go on record that I enjoyed the school parts as much as, and possibly more than in some respects, the main storylines so far. However, I defer to your judgment if you feel that the current one wasn't up to your standards. As I was reading that blog I...

PM sent! Thanks for the offer, that's awesome.

I haven't tested mine at all beyond the initial install and check that Skype does, so you're probably more prepared than I am. I just have to remember to keep my pants on when we start until I'm sure I didn't hit the "answer with video" button.

I will call them Native Americans the minute they take the word "Indian" out of their casinos. That really rustles my jimmies.

I "reviewed" that movie much earlier in this thread. I watch a LOT of shitty television, and I couldn't even finish Atlantic Rim. I really can't even think of a worse movie, and I'm trying!

Disclaimer: Obviously we all hope everything turns out well for your wife, and can commiserate with having to deal with something like that. That being said...I won't be offended by anything she says as long as you promise not to be offended if I (probably fairly often) suggest something...

I had a science teacher in junior high that couldn't properly pronounce half the words he taught us, let alone his own name. One particularly clueless kid (a good friend of mine of course) had the misfortune of being "axed" something about the "kastaristics of da Earf" (characteristics of the...
