  1. I still have this toy. I don't know what it was about TMNT in my childhood but I swear I was obsessed. I think I still have every single villain from their rogues gallery-- and many of the main ones too-- sitting in a box in storage, and like fifty different versions of the turtles themselves too. I'm not exaggerating either, the box I kept them all in is a big one As for the topic... I absolutely despised Excalibur in Soul Eater. Dude was a complete waste of time in the show and frankly ruined quite a few episodes for me. To that end, I also was completely on Medusa's side throughout the show and was really upset with how abruptly her story ended as the show came to a close. Loved Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender... completely insane character and you can't help but cheer her on a little throughout. Especially after the beach episode shows how socially awkward she is. I always pick Luigi over Mario as my 'main character' in the Mario Bros. games if I can. Mother Ethel in Tangled is a fantastic character and I'm pretty certain Lorina and I know all the words to her "Mother Knows Best" songs... though I wouldn't necessarily say that I 'rooted' for her per se, but I definitely loved the character. Scar from Lion King. "Be Prepared" is still the best Disney villain's song made in my opinion. The villain in Oldboy... psychologically fucked up but by the end of the film you actually kind-of hope he gets his revenge. I'm sure there are more but I'm drawing blanks right now to go further with this... I'm sure I could keep going on this though.
  2. I'll take a look for you when I go in Kirkles, will let you know when I get back. Keep in mind: if you go in today it's the last day for their 50% bonus towards buying another pre-owned item though. They usually have temporary deals going on and that's the one going right now, store credit only though. So yeah, I can get an estimate on it for ya' but it won't count any promotions
  3. is about to drive three hours (round trip) to pick up a game for a customer service situation I'm trying to get fixed. THIS WEEK IS BEST WEEK.

      Naples. Hour and a half to get there, hour and a half back.

      Wound up not being bad though, damn good Sushi place over there (Club Sushi) that Lorina and I went to. OH MY GOD THEIR VOLCANO ROLLS.

      Even I can't get to Naples in three hours, not with how airports are these days. Kudos.

  4. is absolutely drained... the last few days were hand delivered from hell. Urgh.

      Excellent. Everything is going to plan...

    2. EWB's Best Poster.
  5. Mass Effect: Battleground updated! Just about done now with the Prologue missions, the time to move forward is soon!

  6. I figured he probably used Skyhook from The Dark Knight. You gotta realize, despite everything going on and what happened to him, Bruce Wayne still had connections. It's not entirely unreasonable to believe that he'd found a way to utilize Skyhook again to get him in. I mean hell, they specifically said at one point in the film that the military had begun doing high-altitude scans of Gotham so that they wouldn't be detected. Again, not entirely unreasonable for Bruce to make the drop from there, at the very least in a similar fashion to the way the military forces themselves did. Hell, there've been further stretches of the imagination made in the Batman comic books to make specific plot points work than there were in TDKR. Also... I respect your opinion, but as far as this goes: The Watchmen.
  7. There has only been one conflict between Slenderman and The Rake hasn't there? The one where The Rake chases Vincent into the woods after Evan throws it out the window and Slenderman scares it off or something. Edit:Forgot the twitter stuff too. Edit 2:Ahh, The Rake Chased Jeff into the woods and Slendy showed up. Also I watched some Tribe Twelve last night. MH's prop and costume for Slenderman is the best but holy fuck Tribe Twelve knows where to place him to make the most of their prop/photoshops/actor. Right? Like I said, of the three Tribe Twelve has the weakest acting but holy shit their Slenderman is terrifying.
  8. For me, the backstory in EMH for Slenderman edges out what MH has made for him, though both are fantastic. It's just, I think as one person commented awhile back in one of the videos, the inclusion of the Rake and Slenderman clashing with each other so often almost symbolizes a duality between what the two 'represent', so to speak. Slenderman having such a rooted history in the EMH characters' pasts too, the reality fluctuations and time travelling hallucinations and shit, all of it is eerie and makes you wonder what his obsession with them is. MH Slenderman feels like a freakish force of nature that can't be stopped, but EMH's Slenderman has something more curious about it that draws me in more.
  9. They could pull a Nolan and do a gritty reboot of Jeff the Killer It's just, I mean, when you freeze frame on the last video Jeff is in when shit goes crazy on him and he turns the cam on himself, the dude looks like a fuckin' psychopath. If he turns on the EMH crew during any of their next videos I'm almost positive he's gonna go that route. And yeah, any SCP involvement would be incredible. Well, at least, the non-ridiculous SCPs anyway.
  10. One of the creepiest 'cameos'-- though not yet a true cameo-- is the whole shit surrounding Jeff and the allusions that he's becoming "Jeff the Killer". I really hope that winds up going somewhere. Also, Evan's character is definitely one of my favorites. He's not the stereotypical badass who gets destroyed in a horror flick, he's actually smart but is getting driven out of his mind, but has the survival skills and physical strength to hold his own. I love how they've developed his character. But yeah, Kirkles, if you haven't checked out TribeTwelve and you want something to freak you out, look for the clip where he's flying off to meet the EverymanHYBRID crew. That airplane scene is one of the best Slenderman moments I've seen, and that's even counting the Slenderman 'reveal' in EMH or his appearance at the end of Marble Hornets' first run, both of which in themselves freaked me the fuck out.
  11. Of the three major Slenderman Channels that I've seen (MarbleHornets, everymanHYBRID and TribeTwelve), I'd say EMH is my favorite followed very, very closely by MarbleHornets. TribeTwelve has some legitimately amazing moments but it's mostly overshadowed by the cast's mostly poor acting. That being said, nothing in any of the other two series got to me quite like TribeTwelve's 'airplane scene' when he's on his way to do the crossover with the EMH crew. Fucking terrifying, especially the little girl in the background after the 'attack'. But yeah, I enjoy the pacing and interactivity of EMH the most, and the crossovers with other creatures besides Slendy are a welcome sight as well. MH has that creepy factor down the best, but EMH has the most going on to keep it interesting.
  12. Re: All this talk of what happened in the ending.
  13. Still playing. Growing desperate to get at least one N7 class already. I've leveled my Salarian Engineer to full-on Decoy Tank and have taken to doing Geth Firebase White on Platinum difficulty. Have managed to get a Mission Successful ONCE, every other time we usually only make it to Wave 8 or 10. Playing with randoms. Platinum is absolutely ridiculous but a lot of fun if you have the right build for it. My Engie is a beast on it, not a lot of damage but my Decoy keeps basically every enemy funneling into one killzone for the others to pick them apart in. I've used this tactic to distract two Banshees, a Prime and a Ravager while my team unloads everything they have at them. And Platinum is definitely easy credits, hell that single Mission Successful netted me 120,000 credits. And that wasn't even with extraction. I believe the most you get from a completed Platinum run is 150,000 credits but... for one mission? Yes please. Even failing at Wave 8 nets you enough to buy a Spectre Pack-- just over 60,000 credits.
  14. Depends on the version of the Riddler Nolan would've used. I personally think Nolan could have made it work without it being Joker-lite. The thing about the Riddler is he really can be made serious and dark, and has been made as such before. His character wouldn't be a problem, Nolan could make it fit. The problem-- and the reason why, even though I love the Riddler, it wouldn't have worked-- is that bringing his character in wouldn't have been a fitting end to the franchise like Bane was. The way he used the character felt perfect, and was a fantastic villain to end the franchise with. If anything, bringing Riddler in would have just felt like it was setting the series up for the next film. But again, I really believe Nolan would have nailed the Riddler's character for his universe. I'm already trying to budget my paycheck so we can go see it a second time and, hopefully, this time in IMAX. I sincerely can't wait for the Blu-Ray boxset. That's going to be one hell of a fast buy.
  15. And also, re: Jim Carrey's Riddler. He did a great campy Riddler, I'm talking more about someone pulling of this guy. A more serious Riddler, still with those quirks that make the character what he is but definitely more serious than Carrey's first try. And personally? I would love to see Carrey reprise his role and make it more serious, because I've always agreed with the sentiment that Jim Carrey should play a dark, serious role at some point... I really think he'd soar with one.
  16. I just want to see someone do Riddler right. Shit, I think someone mentioned it on here awhile back but I always loved the concept of a dual-villain movie featuring Riddler and Black Mask. Black Mask/Roman Sidonis provides a villain that strikes at both Batman AND Bruce Wayne, and then Bruce has to deal with Edward Nigma, maybe starting off as an overzealous Gotham detective who becomes corrupted as time goes on. Riddler would be a direct threat against Bruce's personal life, Black Mask would be the threat against his business and vigilantism. With Batman being seemingly outmatched in every avenue... I dunno, I just love the concept and would have loved to see it done. (I realize in many ways TDKR did follow that concept of Bruce being outmatched in multiple avenues of his life, but... damn it, I want my Riddler fix! ) I don't know how anyone can top Nolan or come close with Batman. I really don't. The man perfected the story of Batman in cinema, in my eyes, and I just can't see anyone accomplishing what he has with this trilogy.
  17. So, now McDonald's has an 'Arctic Orange' Shake. I don't know why I insist on trying these weird flavors of theirs, I thought it'd be like a Creamsicle shake or something. It was almost as bad as that shitty mint one they had for awhile.

  18. Machismo: Added spoiler tags for a portion of your post. While we're still within the first few days of the movie's launch, let's keep spoilers in spoiler tags so those who haven't seen it don't have anything ruined. I realize in general the rule of thumb is to avoid discussion threads after the film's been released, but let's be courteous to those just looking to gauge reactions from EWBers on the film for themselves without overt spoilers being given in the process.
  19. Saw it with Lorina tonight. Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. When this trilogy comes out on Blu-Ray boxset I'm definitely picking it up.
  20. Mass Effect: Battleground has been updated! The new deadline for RPs is posted as well, take a look!

  21. Had an awesome weekend of relaxation and getting work at home done. Next two days? Work and ME: Battleground. Can't wait to finally kick off the next phase of the mission!

  22. I'll be on soon enough if anyone else is interested
  23. 2 hours here as well would be fantastic. Going out, going to do a little garage cleaning and then could make myself available. 7PM EST? Good way for me to clear my mind before finishing up some of these updates
  24. Finally saw Amazing Spiderman with Lorina tonight. Was good!
