I wonder what the storyline will be, since they're, y'know, supposed to have left?

But a sequel to WFC is very welcome.

[FurbyFrank]

Yeah! After dying in tv n1 and Charles and 3house being in definite hiatus I am down to 3 games? How is that possible?!

Yeah.. My wife refers to mafia as "the other woman," I spent too much time on the phone now >.>

[ThorKnigh83]

haha i feel ya. its amazing i ever get any work done with all the games im in.

[K-ness]

And you two are about to be in another one.


I want to run a comics themed game. Maybe in January.

[ThorKnigh83]

sweet. im totally in. im a sucker for pretty much any mafia game haha

[FurbyFrank]

Sounds good, Hopefully Firefly will be up in running by the second week of January

[CarlosMucha]

Sending PMs Now before begin day 2 of Star Trek UNLIMITED!

[Thawmus]

I'm feeling like I might start working on Thawmus' Heroes 2.

[JackAssterson]

It's like, the first game is all Noah building the boat.

The second game is the rain coming and all the robot giraffes and hippos and squirrels and such going "Oh, no!"

[Thawmus]

It's like, the first game is all Noah building the boat.

The second game is the rain coming and all the robot giraffes and hippos and squirrels and such going "Oh, no!"

I think the disconnect for me was that it was super important to kill Trypticon nowzers, so that people could leave.

Which makes little sense to me, since that just depleted the Autobot army while they stick around to build a boat.

Isn't Optimus like a smart feller?

[DarqFeonix]

Tim Tebow is amazing. Not only can he pull miraculous wins out of nowhere... he can pull Rokk_Krinn back into Mafia!

[Silver Lantern]

The end of that Chicago game was like Angels in the Outfield... Poor Elway is never gonna get rid of him now... ;)

[zyxba]

Man, this mini marvels game is getting PM intensive.

I'm getting like 60 a night. Haha.

After my mystery game I'm running Wrestling 2, and then a Secret Invasion mafia hopefully.

[ThorKnigh83]

Tebow is crazy awesome. I just don't know what to think. He defines all conventional football wisdom. he just wins. Its like i saw someone say before Tebow ends with W. In the end it may not look pretty but it works period.

[kontrol]

Can we wait a couple seasons before saying Tebow's a winner? There's always that first two year anomaly with running type QBs. Vick had it. Mcnair had it, Culpepper had it, McNabb had it , Newton shares it right now. Inevitably, these guys get hit a lot and become much more pocket based QBs, that's when we'll see what Tebow has to offer long term.

[DarqFeonix]

Oh, he's not a winner, IMHO. He's an aberration that cannot be understood. He is quite possibly the worst quarterback I've seen in the NFL in years. He was... what... 3/15 before the 4th quarter yesterday?

But jeez... I swear he's a mutant with Longshot abilities.

[ThorKnigh83]

ok he is a winner all he has done at any level of football is win. He is the all time winningest QB in NCAA history. Since taking over the Broncos he has done nothing but win. Forget that he is not really QB and is better suited to be a FB. But when he plays teams win and that has been the case since he was a kid. So say what ya want but until he proves otherwise he is a Winner.
I think he looks terrible as a QB but he is at least making some progress. If he could stand in the pocket and deliver the football like a Brady or Manning he would be completely unstopable.

[ThorKnigh83]

and there is no way to explain him. His delivery is the slowest ive ever seen i think and his reads are high schoolish but he doesn't turn the ball over and so they manage the clock well. He also keeps the Defense off the field because they don't score in 2 seconds. they have to drive down the field. Oddly enough his accuracy has been pretty decent and like he said yesterday his Receivers make him look better as a passer than he really is. At least he admits he isn't a great QB and is working on getting better.

[Thawmus]

Absolutely not! You stay away from my Netflix, Verizon!!!

Sweet tapdancing Jeebus - my work hard drive BSODed on me over the weekend and I've spent all day running Ubuntu off a thumb drive (as someone whose first IBM desktop had a whopping 8 megabyte hard drive, the ability to run an OS with full network capability off a $5 Flash drive kind of blows me away). I've had somewhat limited experience with Ubuntu in the past, but dang, am I sold now. The IT guy burned it onto a disk for me (I hesitate to be overly reliant on USB technology - I've even got a PS/2 mouse and keyboard in a closet at home in case I'm in a situation where USB drivers have gone kaput). I'll be partitioning for dual boot as soon as the kid's in bed tonight.

I haven't crushed on an OS this hard since DOSShell.

[K-ness]

Ubuntu is pretty sweet.

In other news, guess who is exhausted?

Me...

That's right, bought tickets to go see Steel Panther again on Feb 7th. Don't be jealous.

We just watched the third TF movie. They're great for explosions and special effects, terrible for character design and plot. I fell asleep during the last 2 TF movies.

The end of that Chicago game was like Angels in the Outfield... Poor Elway is never gonna get rid of him now... ;)

Wait, I don't know sports, but isn't Elway football? And Angels in the Outfield Baseball?

You no bozo. You page stretch! Which amazing given such tiny arms.

[gfishfunk]

When you watch Tebow play, you just know that someone put a cheatcode in, or is playing with a game genie. He really shouldn't win and does.

Query. Would people be interested in a Hall of Fame Mafia?

Just something I've been pondering. Basically, all the roles would be ones that won mafia in the past.

If you liked Claymore, you'd like Elfen Lied as well.

I'm thinking about starting a new series. Is it on Netflix?

[DarqFeonix]

Supernatural and Serial Killers seem to be in Limbo.

Simpsons and Best of Chuxles are on indefinite hiatus.

Sad days in Mafialand.

[Thawmus]

I'm thinking about starting a new series. Is it on Netflix?

Both Elfen Lied and Gun X Sword are on Netflix, yes.

I warn that Elfen Lied can get very very tragic, gory (Oh who the hell am I kidding, you watched Claymore), and they are completely comfortable with nudity. But the nudity is there for a purpose, and it isn't to excite. Dehumanization and humanization are a very important part of the show.

I shall look into them. There was one series on Netflix that I was interested in... I think Murder Princess?

[DarqFeonix]

Couldn't resist.

Embrace the HAWTness V signups are open (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=345236). Go sign up, y'all.

(Newbies, IMO, these tend to be my best run games. Have fun!)

[Thawmus]

I shall look into them. There was one series on Netflix that I was interested in... I think Murder Princess?

I keep seeing it, and will probably watch it next.

Gun X Sword has shown up about a gazillion times on my suggestions, and it just never grabbed me. According to most reviews, I'm not alone. So I'm going to take this as a lesson learned - stuff that doesn't look all that appealing might secretly be awesome.

[DarqFeonix]

So I have 2 tickets to get a sneak preview of the Dark Knight Rises *trailer* for tonight at 10:30 in the city.

And I have a kid.

So I'm not going.

The trailer for GI Joe: Retaliation is up.

Looks pretty entertaining.

That being said, ME GRIMLOCK STRONGEST! My favorite Transformer ever finally being in one of their games (that is a game, right?) has me really excited.

Still need a few actions and locations for Mini Marvels, though it's obviously not going to open up until the proboards are fixed at least.

I'll try to badger Vorlon into wrapping up his game. Between TAK and I, it should get done I hope.

[Thawmus]

It is indeed a game. It's a sequel to War for Cybertron, a (surprisingly!) very good Third-person shooter.

What I'm saying is, this will probably be really great.

[DarqFeonix]

I dug the hell out of the first GI Joe, perfect popcorn flick... Annoyed to see it appears they wiped out like the entire cast. Still, I'll be there next summer

No, the movie games are trash.

That's disappointing. I figured since they had a working engine, they'd keep using it.

It's got Bruce Willis as the original GI Joe - you know, the one with the kung-fu grip. That, by itself, is enough to potentially tip the movie from "terrible" to "so terrible, it's awesome" for me.

[Thawmus]

That's disappointing. I figured since they had a working engine, they'd keep using it.

Well, "They" is not the same set of people in each instance, so they can't.

No, no it's not. ;)

[zyxba]

Ahh. Very disappointing indeed.

[Thawmus]

Ahh. Very disappointing indeed.

It's a product of the movie-game transition. They always seem to pay some backwater dev group to slap something together in 5 seconds, with the intention that the game releases on the same day the movie does.

Which is a recipe for failure.

EDIT: Which is why WFC is a success. It doesn't try to match up with any movies or TV episodes of anything.

Continuing my trend of epic fail tonight, I just managed to spill pepsi all over my computer desk, floor, keyboard, cell phone, AND house phone all at once.

My problem was that I was reaching for a bag of cookies and somehow caught my hand on the glass of pop I had just poured.

Maybe it was a sign from above that I shouldn't have been eating those cookies. If so, I totally ignored it.

[zyxba]

Had a lot of fun with some late night Magic.

Won a 3 headed giant game by throwing out a ton of Chancellor blockers, and TAK netting us the win with a Megrim, Underworld Dreams, Jace's Archivist combo.

Then my white token deck was gaining about 25 life a turn with Elspeth, and I gained around 8 alone from a Shattered Angel just sitting on the board until I board wiped with a Phyrexian Rebirth to have a 40/40 lifelink, double strike, vigilant token, and proceeded to end the game from there.

Good times.

Still waiting on a couple of answers for Mini Marvels to open back up. I'll try to open it when I get up hopefully.

Now all I need is a custom Avvie and a bigger inbox!

[PhoenixFire]

What's all this gift giving?!

I would like a....uh...animated avatar that actually fits..preferably Milla Jovovich or Sheamus or Dick Tracy :laugh:;)

[K-ness]

I have not.
I vote for Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies, because they are not Austrian. And Chocolate Truffle Cookies incite bad associations.

Not a fan of Austrian confections?

Come on folks! It'll be insanely fun! :grin:

You make me smile.

And I took care of my christmas gift to another member as well.

In other news, my ingredients are almost all together for me to start baking cookies. The only real decision I have left to make is which new cookie to make this year. Here's what I'm debating over:

Viennese Chocolate Rusks
Chocolate Hazelnut Cookies
Chocolate Krapferln
Chocolate Truffle Cookies

Oh, absolutely has to be the Chocolate Truffle Cookie. And I want to try one, so we have to make that happen somehow! ;)

[Truffle Shuffle]

I would like .... for all my dreams to come true.

Someone get on that.

I wonder if Typhon is telling the people about their gifts. :ermm:

Not done yet, but I'm working on it. Again, not much, but tis the season and all.

Alright. Looks like I got pretty much everything for Mini Marvels. Sadly, I have to take off for work. It'll open up late tonight!

In the meantime, everyone sign up for my Mystery Game. If you think you can handle it. It must break you!

Mine have involved Poltergeist :confused:

I only saw part II for like 10 mins the other day and it's still haunting me.

I feel so great with my new avatar. and I don't know why i called him colonel pickering that is from my fair lady. I meant Major Gowen. he is from Fawlty Towers.

I had a dream about zombies the other night. It was more odd than scary.

Don't you hate it when you try to lock a door and it won't close or the lock/door knob is missing...damaged guns also suck in such dreams. :mad:

[PhoenixFire]

Oh wait...you were talking about real life running...carry on :cheeky:

[sstralkowski]

Call me bitter because Scott didn't get the part, but every time I see an add for Avengers the movie, I get mad that the guy they casted for Hawkeye (Clint) was talking to reporters about playing the part of "Clive." Jerk. And Hawkeye is one of my favorite Avengers to boot.

[K-ness]

Scott and I are now friends on Facebook! I feel important!

[sstralkowski]

I've read the Zombie Survival Guide enough times that I'm a surprisingly skilled Zombie Stomper in my dreams. It's just that for some reason I always end up running right before I wake up. The reason I start running in the dream always makes perfect tactical sense, but it always triggers me to wake up rather than just kill zombies indiscriminantly until my alarm goes off.

[Thawmus]

Stop that! :mad:

Tomorrow. I'll stop ignoring them tomorrow. :laugh:

(I'm trying to bail myself out of a financial crisis at the moment.)

Im also quite disappointed with the guy they got for Hawkeye. though most of the other casting choices really do fit. I mean RDJ was born to play Tony Stark and Chris Hemsworth is quite a good Thor. Im still not sure how I feel about Chris Evans as Cap even after watching the movie but all in all a good cast. At least we won't likely see Mark Rufallo all that long in the movie.

Do you suddenly have a loss of gravity, therefore friction, therefore momentum, when you run in your dreams?

Because that happens to me every damn time. I suddenly am floating in mid-air, and I'm getting eaten by something.

I sometimes don't run, and punch the thing, and then my hand gets bitten off. Then I wake up, and my hand is numb.

Really freaky and annoying.

I'm a fan of Ruffalo. I'm really glad they cast him. He's a perfect Banner.

I am a big believer in fixing my own problems, but thank you.

I got into this mess by spending money like a 15 year old girl would (Specifically, not budgeting my food worth a damn), handling my credit card like a 15 year old girl would, and saving money like a 15 year old girl would.

And then having some car trouble, causing me to pay some expensive repairs.

On the one hand, I want to pick up my car and chuck it in the lake, and blame it for my miserability, but the truth is that I'm being less responsible with my money than I was when I was a child.

I made shrimp-flavored Ramen last night with chunky peanut butter, tobasco sauce, soy sauce, and imitation crab. It was a $1 meal that was better than just about anything I've had in the past month. It's a perfect example of how damn dumb I've been.

Basically, it stopped being soup, and became peanut sauce, yes. I use less water than suggested, because of this, and strain some of it out afterward.

I like Ruffalo fine but i just don't see him as Banner. He could work out i will just have to see. Him as a hank pym could have been cool if he lost a little weight.

You need to add curry powder.
It's not a proper peanut sauce without curry powder.

I'm just happy to get a plastic Scarlet Johansen to team up with Malin Åkerlund and Megan Fox. Too bad I don't have Halle Berry.

[hail_eris]

I always felt that the girl who played Pepper in the movie version had a much stronger voice than Aileen Quinn. She played Annie on Broadway, for pete's sake! You're telling me that's not good enough to hang with Tim Curry and the Madeline Kahn knockoff that is Bernadette Peters?

So, after perusing my spreadsheet and updating it for Mal's Hall of Fame game (haven't kept track of games/wins since over the summer), I come to find out that I am only 2 games (give or take me missing some) away from playing my 300th game.

That's crazy, man. I doubt I've played that many games. And to think it took some convincing to get you to try mafia in the first place. ;)

[DarqFeonix]

That's crazy, man. I doubt I've played that many games. And to think it took some convincing to get you to try mafia in the first place. ;)

Heh, well 1) I didn't have the family time you had for the past few years, and 2) I'm always able to find time to play at work and on the smartphone.

I will say, after a nice run of wins last time I calculated, my win % as a whole has taken a dive of a few points, hovering now just over 20%. Which is cool, that sounds about right. Shockingly, I seem to have seen an uptick in Endgame'd results, with almost 8% of my games ending in a loss on the final phase.

Funny enough, I think my ~300 or so games gives a pretty good estimate for the "ideal" alignment breakdown for a game (if you take into account all assignments are random, which obviously they're not)

Mafia........76.....26.12%
Town........165...56.70%
Neutral......50....17.18%

[Truffle Shuffle]

I'm just amazed Darqles has kept a spreadsheet of it all. And slightly jealous.

Yay! I got presents in the mail today. One of them was the Hero of Space Hoodie (http://whatpumpkin.com/godtier-hoodies.html) from Homestuck, from MS Paint Adventures. Which is pretty awesome. The sticker on the package reads:

"Hahahaha. You think you have what it takes to wear this???????? Don't you know you have to 8e strong and 8rave to wear this and not 8e an em8arrassment to yourself????????"

Which means absolutely nothing to any of you, but it's hilarious for me, especially since my dad sent it to me, and likely doesn't understand anything about it. :classic:

[ChiRocker]

Some of you guys know this already, but for those of you who don't, my wife has recently been offered her dream job and we will be moving on January 1. The whole process started only one month ago, and she wasn't even looking for it. To put it in even more perspective, the job (assistant professor of poetry and creative writing) rarely comes available at any college. The path most people take is they work on writing a book for 10-15 years after getting their masters of fine arts, then they get hired teaching gen ed classes for another decade or so until the poetry prof dies or retires, then they will be up for promotion... along with everyone else in the same pool.

So this rare job just fell into Renee's lap, and I could not be happier and prouder of her. This does mean that I will most likely not be playing (or running) a mafia game until after lent, as we will be moving into temporary housing at the beginning of Jan and moving again at the end; and I will be giving up the realms and Facebook for lent (and trying to read the whole bible during that time).

I will be back, but it will be a while. TBB, if you want to run Dollhouse in my absence feel free. I may run another one later, but I will probably come back with either 4400 or Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock. Have a great rest of the year. I plan on being very busy =]

I know the feeling in regards to packing. Heck, I'm taking a two-week trip starting Saturday and I still think I'm forgetting something.

For lent, I'm giving up bananas, mushrooms, beets, squash, pork rinds, and cottage cheese. I wanted to give up work as well, but my wife vetoed that, something about needing an income.

Hey guys, I need some nerd help. I need a place where I can find a good background on the Sentinels. Each Mark, what they do, and what they look like and then some good pics that will work for card art. Any idea how I can find this? There's surprisingly little on google or uncannyxmen.net. Maybe I'll try Marvel.com

[eternalrage]

Did you try comicvine?

[sstralkowski]

Did you try comicvine?

Nope. Looks like Marvel and Wikipedia both have some info in terms of plotlines, but nothign really has a good visual database for them.

EDIT: Comicvine has a similar databse to the others, nothing visual.

[eternalrage]

The only other one I can think of is comicbookdb.com, but that's not going to give you the visuals either.

[K-ness]

If you have the issue number they appear in, I can help there. I have many of the X-men comics from Mark 1 to Mark... VII, I think. I even have the first appearance of Master Mold!

[eternalrage]

Pft...nerd....

Ok looks like a different search through Comicvine netted me a ton of pictures, not to figure out which are what marks and what unique powers they have. Thanks for the offer, Kenny, but that's an awful lot of work for you.

Anybody know any good comics that are true to the Lovecraftian mythos? Like, spot on Lovecraft? I have never been able to get into the books because I suffer from the dumb, but I'd like to try a different approach to spark that interest.

Check out IDW comics I believe. I don't recall title names, but I believe that publisher makes them.

It was Christian Bale Batman. I was the employee they deserved, but not the one they needed right then.
Did you make anyone swear to you?

Honestly, I'd suggest hitting up the quarter bin at your local shop to see if you can find any of the old Chaosium RPG sourcebooks. I believe that they're all kinds of out of print, so they go for a fortune on the eBay, but they're the sort of thing that turn up all the time in collections that shops pick up. You don't have to spend a lot of time learning the game mechanics to get the flavor of the stories, and they convey the spirit of the mythos *way* better than any comic or movie treatment I've ever seen.

I was aware IDW had some Call of Cthulhu book, but was unaware how closely it tied into what Lovecraft had set forth.

I'll look them up on the 'bay when I get some time tonight and maybe some reviews.

This I have never heard of. What actually sparked my interest was a Cthulhu dice game by SJGames, so that would be cool to get the back story form another type of game.

Good suggestions, gents. I appreciate it.

I think the only two chases I want from Hulk are Wolverage and Thorr (or whatever Hulk-Thor is). Much as I'm an X-fan... the Cyke and Iceman don't really do much for me as "Hulks".

So disappointed they turned Nimrod into Bastion with the Siege Perilous. :)

I miss Nimrod. He was like Apocalypse: Powerful, forbearing, a genuinely awesome villain... in concept. Then they did nothing with him for a long time and turned him into a farce.

Seriously, Uncanny X-men 194, 208, and 209 were such AWESOME stories.

The fact that he was becoming "human" when he was working in NYC was pretty cool too. I was hoping that they had Nicholas Hunter appear at some point, who could turn INTO Nimrod after the Siege Perilous experience. Ah well. :)

That is what I was hoping, too.

I will admit, when he convinced Mastermold to kill himself, that was pure brilliance.

Nimrod was before my time... I was always a fan of Bastion. I especially liked J. Jonah Jameson's interactions with him. Plus, I'm a fan of Operation: Zero Tolerance. Carlos Pacheco's X-Menwere puuuuurty.

[tyroman]

congrats Chi. :)

Agreed on both counts.

Nimrod was bright pink.

There's nothing about bright pink that says foreboding.

[ThorKnigh83]

how come all the world eaters, and major villains are pink and purple. I mean Galactus, Starro, Nimrod wtf.

Nimrod was white, almost iridescent. His shading was pink because of the energy. Wizkids got his figure wrong on the paint job. But that's okay on his clix piece because it prompted me to paint this:

Because it is generally understood that pink rules the universe.

Apparently Wizkids didn't bother to look at any of his appearances or read this issue:
