The C3G Cave - Hangout

[Lord Pyre]

It was on TV Land or something a while back, and I used to watch it. So dumb, but so fun. :p

[Griffin]

Hope you find all your looking for Hidicul, and I hope you return to us safely and richer. :toast:

[johnny139]

Shine on you crazy diamond. Show them Dakotas what for. :D

On the other hand, I made a great television find the other day. I was watching TV the otehr morning, and I switched to this odd channel I'd never watched before. The channel is called The Hub. And to my suprise, on that channel was none other than the original, 1960s Batman TV series! I put it on season's pass, as there seems to be an episode every day. It's quite funny and cool at the same time. The shows are on a different times, sometime's 11:30PM, sometimes 3AM, and other time 7AM (EST). So I recommend the show, and I also recommend recording some episodes if you don't like being up at 3AM.

Oh man, you haven't been watching the Hub!? They've got Batman Beyond reruns! And new G.I. Joe and Transformers serieses! And Doogie Howser and the Wonder Years! AND MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC! Can't go wrong with that. You guys gotta watch more cartoons, I swear. :p

[Lord Pyre]

I used to watch Batman and Batman Beyond. Other than that I don't like cartoons. :p

[Good Pig]

Godspeed Hidicul! :toast:

Best of luck Hidicul :rock:

[LordEsenwienIV]

Good luck Hidicul :toast:

[davidlhsl]

All the best, Hidicul! If you have the time, go to Mt. Rushmore and spray paint C3G's logo on Washington's nose.

[Lord Pyre]

All the best, Hidicul! If you have the time, go to Mt. Rushmore and spray paint C3G's logo on Washington's nose.

Even better: On Abe's mole!

Don't worry about the mole, I've already done that one with the C3G symbol. In my dreams.:p But still, best of luck, as I've said previously, Hidicul.

[A3n]

Well to those who still consider me a friend thank you for all your support. It is a sad occasion that I feel compelled to resign from the C3G. Unlike others I have more respect for people & will not go into details but if you ever find yourself in the inner sanctum & wish to really know what happened review the voting thread. I am disgusted by the behaviour & dis-respect of others in the group.

See you 'round.

A3n

[All Your Pie]

Man, that sucks. Sorry to see you go A3N.

[johnny139]

On another note, the Sanctum is visible! :shock: Someone should probably do something about that.

Heh. Yeah.

Well played, boys, well played indeed. I'm looking forward to Drunken Iron Man. Now release us the damn card. ;)

[IAmBatman]

God bless Hidicul.
Good riddance, you dirty Aussie!

[All Your Pie]

This had better not be an April Fools joke.

[EternalThanos86]

Wow. Not sure what to make of what I've just read in the Sanctum Voting Thread...

...if it's not an interesting April Fool's joke then I may never play or suggest C3G again.

[IAmBatman]

... Sanctum voting thread? Um ... why are you looking in the sanctum voting thread? ... How are you looking in the sanctum voting thread?

[All Your Pie]

I wasn't sure... until I read the rest of the threads in the 'sanctum'. ;)

[IAmBatman]

Crap ... my Admin fingers strike again ... grr ... just stay out of there for a bit and let me try to figure out what I screwed up, OK, guys?

[Flame Gryphon]

Very well played, but unfortunately all doubt disappeared when I saw where it was. :p

[Longy418]

You guys never cease in going for the very best. Thanks for another fun release.

[davidlhsl]

Man, I hate April Fool's Day. I'm downloading pictures of bowls of pho until this blows over.


Mmmmmmm, food porn. :drool:


Edit: Never mind. I'm downloading pictures of waterfalls instead.



Mmmmmmm, nature porn. :drool:

Hey Griff is really easy to talk to and get along with, all you gota do is know how to handle a upset Griffin and it's no sweat guys. Befriend the Griff and you have a pretty loyal friend that also has some great advise both C3G related as well as real life related.

On other notes, thanks to everyone who has wished me luck, I can use all I can get right now. It also sounds like I missed out on one heck of an April Fools joke though.

[Hahma]

The wife and I took the kids to see the movie Hop yesterday. It was fun for the kids and the adults got some laughs too and both the wife and I liked it better than Rango, more fun.

Anyway, a cool thing about it was that voice of the main character E.B. (the bunny) was Australian and he kept reminding me of A3n and Whitestuff throughout the movie. I've never spoken to Whitestuff, but have spoken to A3n on Skype, so he's the main reference for me. That made the movie extra fun for me I guess. :)

So me and my friends have started this online game and it looks pretty cool. It's called Conquest of Nations (http://www.conquestofnations.com/index.php) and it's a free online game (no downloads). If you want to play send me a PM with your info and we'll set something up.

Well I don't know or want to know if you can poop flavored jelly beans like E.B. did in the movie, but I can see you two having a similar sense of humor for sure. :D

Quick shout out to Cavalier and Impact minis for their great service! I wanted to get a butt ton of bases and stickers recently and they both really came through for me! :-) If you're on the fence about using either of these guys for rebasing, don't be!

A butt ton sounds like a lot. Is that more than a metric ton? :p

[IAmBatman]

1,019 bases to be exact. Though I only actually ordered and paid for 1,000 ...

[Hahma]

Now that is a butt ton load. And nice that you got a few for free. :D

[Porkins]

That sounds more like a half ton. Or maybe a crap ton. I don't think there is actually such thing as a butt ton. Butt load, however, that does exist. :D

[Karat]

:-| Just narrowly avoided being hit by some street racers on the freeway. I know I was being watched over tonight. :pray: That was probably the most frightening experience that I've ever had :shock:

[Griffin]

Well I am certainly glad you are OK. Were you driving?

[Karat]

Well I am certainly glad you are OK. Were you driving?
No, my little sister was, she was a bit shook up, but otherwise ok. I immediately called it in, but it sure was something else, let me tell you.

[Hidicul]

Hey bro, give her a hug from me. I'm glad you two are alright though.

[Porkins]

It always cracks me up when I see those people with an NFS-Underground Honda Accord !?! :wtf:

Never actually seen those idiots racing though. Glad you are alright!

[IAmBatman]

That sounds awful, Karat! There are a lot of irresponsible, inconsiderate people in this world, sadly. I'm glad you're all right!

[Karat]

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. Other than having a helping hand from on high, I honestly don't know how me managed to avoid getting hit. THey just narrowly missed us on both sides.

Hidicul, I'll be sure and do that.

Thought I'd post my thoughts on the Badger-C3G Doom Debate here... please nobody take offense as none is intended:

Badger: You got the bum shaft a little bit in the way you were treated, and your points on constructive criticism are perfectly valid. I can appreciate why you don't think Doom is a good representation, and you are every bit within your right to think so. That being said, I think it might be prudent to observe the unofficial custom rule: "You can argue mechanics, but you can't knock the theme the custom creator chooses". Ultimately it is their custom, and their interpretation of the character is ultimately theirs to finalize. I think it's easy to hold these guys to lofty standards (in part because they themselves do), but keep in mind they get nothing for their time and efforts other than our praise. So I guess if you have a problem with a custom, it would be nice if you spent as much time praising their work as you do pointing out its perceived flaws (and honestly you seem pretty intent on pointing out Doom's "flaws"). It's also worth noting that many of the group has already burned out or moved on, and maybe would should cut the remaining guys a little slack in this time of transition.

C3G: I think the message (and point of pride) to take from this whole conversation is just what your customs have become to this community... the "New Official" product! Thanks so much guys, and thanks Badger for your observations, and let's Game On!

[Hahma]

Nice post Margloth :D

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Margloth again.A general comment and not Doomgate specific. If a person is going to critique the work of others, it helps to also add some positive feedback as well if you are going to offer negative feedback. If a person doesn't find anything at all positive to say, then perhaps they should just ignore the work altogether and move along. Making only negative comments serves no purpose but to agitate. This isn't directed toward Badger (so don't take it that way), but to everyone.

I don't personally think there is anything wrong with discussing a design in that design's Book Of. The official stuff gets praised or slammed in their books, so why not with C3G Books? As long as the discussion remains civilized and doesn't stray from the discussion of the Books Of design, then there should be no problem.

Replying to negative criticism should be done in mature and civilized manner IMO. There really isn't any reason to get personal or condescending towards others. Nobody likes to hear their hard work (and I mean hard work and sacrificing of personal time) criticized, but it is part of the deal, as long as it too is done in a mature and civilized manner.

As with anything, people tend to remember the negative more than the positive. There could be 100 great comments but it's the 1 or 2 negative ones that will stick in people's craw. In my book, that kind of ratio of positive to negative is about as successful as you can get.

Part of what made Heroscapers such a great site to come to when I first joined nearly 5 years ago, was that it was different than many forums, in that Truth didn't put up with people being mean or hostile toward others. There was a standard of behavior that has been upheld for the most part, with some exceptions along the way, but for the most part, Heroscapers has been a great place for people to come and enjoy their hobby or whatever else they enjoy about this wonderful site/resource. We should encourage those standards of behavior that have made this place great, because people won't stay long in a negative environment.

Just :2cents: from someone who has been around here longer than most and wants to help keep it a great place to visit. :D

[IAmBatman]

Well said, guys. I subscribe to the theory that we should always put our efforts towards being uplifting when we get a chance. It takes the same amount of effort to be a positive force as it does to be a negative one, so why not go the positive route?
Obviously, this is something that's always a work in progress in my own life, but I do try. :-)

I will just remind you that when I originally posted, I commented on 3 figures. 2 got completely positive reviews, including one that was going to replace one of my own custom cards on my playing board. A third got a generally positive review, though I didn't think one power was a very good fit. Doom was the only one I didn't like.

Bottom line is that I posted 3 of 4 positive reviews. It was only the negative one that was focused on.

Yes and that's why I said that my comment wasn't directed at you. The Doom discussion was the impetus for me to make my comments. I realize that you had made some positive comments, so that's why I wanted to make it clear that it wasn't directed at you. My comments were meant to be directed to everyone in the community. I just wanted to emphasize that this site is a more pleasant place to visit when a certain standard of behavior is expected and upheld. A small part of that was in regards to people (everyone) not only commenting negatively to something without having something good to say too. This can be with superhero designs, custom terrain, artwork, fan fiction or whatever.

The main gist of my post was to express my desire for members of the site to respect one another. It's a healthier environment when people can show respect, maturity and humility when interacting with others.

[badgermaniac]

I know it wasn't directed at me per se. I was just using it as an example of how I believe one can be a critic but also be positive at the same time.

[Hahma]

And that's a good way to go about it.

Last summer was a bit of a slow one for superhero films, but this summer and next should more than make up for it. :-D
Ahh, Next summer will just be that lame Batman sequel. :p

:-P You know you'll be there seeing it in the theaters three times just like me.
I believe Avengers and the Spider-Man reboot are still both slated for 2012. The Star Trek sequel as well - not that it's a superhero movie, but it's worth looking forward to! :-)Avengers I am pumped for. Spider-Man? Not so much. How do you change one of the most iconic costumes in comics history? Not to the symbiote either. That's like deciding Batman will still wear Black and Dark Blue, but it will be stripes. Star Trek will be awesome as the first one was!
And as far as Batman goes, you obviously knew I was just messing with you! ;) I will see it twice, once on regular screen and once on IMAX, just like TRON: Legacy (though the two do not compare, for the record.)

I think I may be the only comic reader in America excited for X-Men: First Class; but mark my words, it will surprise you.

[johnny139]

It's Captain America and Man of Steel I'm looking forward to. Thor? It'll be fine. Batman? Can't go wrong. Avengers? Amazing, I'm sure. Green Lantern, X-Men, Spider-Man? I won't hold my breath.

But a WWII-era Captain America movie is THE comic book film I've always wanted. And a new Superman with General Zod? I'll be looking forward to it... cautiously. A lot of dangerous decisions being made. Might pay off, might not.

[Devil's Advocate]

The opening scenes from Captain America look pretty cool. Seeing scenes of him shooting a gun was a little unexpected to me.

Also Thor, Avengers, Captain America, Batman... Too much good stuff coming out.

[streaky2007]

I hope I've come to the right place. IamBatman suggested I post this in the Discussion Cave.

This is my proposal for an additional rule for equipment glyphs. It came about in response to the design for the Glyph of Hypnotic Hat used by the Mad Hatter, but I think it could be a fun new aspect to the C3G game.

After moving a Unique Hero figure you control, instead of attacking you may announce that the figure is attempting to remove an Equipment Glyph from an adjacent figure. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll an 8 or higher, place the Equipment Glyph on the card of the figure you used this turn, or on an adjacent empty space. If you have the Super Strength special power add 5 to your roll. If the chosen figure has Super Strength subtract 5 from your roll.

In a normal game, it could be fun to grab items from opponents, but in a game with the Mad Hatter, it gives a way for the Hypnotic Hats to be removed without having to wound (or potentially kill!) your own figures. To remove a hat, you'd still have to miss your attack for that turn and there's a chance your attempt to remove it won't work.

Does anyone like this idea?

Cheers

Steve

[quozl]

That would get around figures who have powers to hold on to their glyphs. For that reason alone, I wouldn't use that rule.

[streaky2007]

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Can you explain?

[Karat]

He's talking of figures like Annihilus, who has to take two wounds or be destroyed to lose the Glyph of Cosmic Control Rod.

[quozl]

Thanks

I was thinking of Annihilus and Mad Hatter but actually their powers would supersede this rule. Objection withdrawn!

However, it's still pretty niche. Most of the time I'd rather just attack.

[Balantai]

I think equipment glyph mechanics are very similar to destructible object mechanics. If you want something thematic, you could probably do it, but you're going to need pages and pages of rules and set-up. This mechanic, while completely thematic, hurts the playability of the equipment glyphs, in my opinion. It's not necessary and thus just adds more rules to the game. There's already a mechanic you can use to force an equipment glyph off of a figure. That's enough.

[IAmBatman]

I agree, Balantai. In addition, it propels a guy like Shadow Thief from already niche status, to extremely niche status.
I'd be in favor of leaving equipment glyph stealing to the thieves. If anyone else wants to do it, they already have a way to - by wounding the figure holding the glyph.

Yeah, it occured to me last night that Shadow Thief would play a good counter draft to Mad Hatter (even if you had to sacrifice control of him to get one of your other heroes back).

You guys make good and valid points. It shows why your experience and design skill has made C3G so great!

I withdraw my suggestion.

Are equipment glyphs knocked off a hero after being wounded from a leaving engagement attack or falling damage?

[tcglkn]

Are equipment glyphs knocked off a hero after being wounded from a leaving engagement attack or falling damage?

Yes anytime a hero with an Equipment Glyph takes a wound he loses the Glyph. You might want to reread the rules.

Thanks, I do like to reread them periodically. I was wondering about this specifically for Mad Hatter though. If a Hero with a hat wanted to get rid of it (and he still had order markers), he could take falling damage or try to get engagement damage to lose the glyph.

Sounds reasonable to me. I guess it all depends on how Mad Hatter shakes out.

[Lord Pyre]

Sweet stuff in the gallery!

Edit: I only need MODOK and Loki out of this wave! :p (Well, I don't have the right Ultron figure, but I don't know if I'll go out of my way to get the right one)

[tcglkn]

I think that is the wrong Loki figure, and I know its the wrong Red Skull, Mandarin, Absorbing Man, and Grodd.

[Lord Pyre]

I think that is the wrong Loki figure, and I know its the wrong Red Skull, Mandarin, Absorbing Man, and Grodd.

Other than female Loki, the only other Loki is like $50, while this one is one $10. :p

I'm using original Red Skull regardless. Mandarin I'm upset about, this Mandarin looks so much better. :p (And is a ton cheaper...) And I have the right Absorbing Man, and both Grodds, actually. :p

[davidlhsl]

I haven't been able to find Graviton in stock, and I only recently found M.O.D.O.K. on Troll and Toad (only 1 left as of this post, so RUN! RUN! HURRY! NOW! DOITDOITDOITDOIT!!!!). :p

What if I throw in this set of steak knives? Now how much would you pay? Look, these knives are so sharp, they can cut through shoe leather (saw-saw-saw). And look how it can still thinly slice this tomato? (slice-slice-slice).

What? Still not convinced? Watch how it slices through this Heroclix figure (saw-saw-saw). OH, RATS!!! My M.O.D.O.K.!!! I paid over $20 for him!!!!
:cry:

[Porkins]

I got a Graviton the other day through a side deal with an eBay seller. I playtested him...he's fun.

Graviton's one of the main figs still missing from my collection. And, yeah, he's a beast. :-)

Edit: I only need MODOK and Loki out of this wave! :p (Well, I don't have the right Ultron figure, but I don't know if I'll go out of my way to get the right one)

Alright, let's see my predictions...

INJUSTICE FOR ALL
Lex Luthor (Battlesuit)
Professor Zoom
Gorilla Grodd
Chronos
Doctor Light

Saw that one coming. :D

ENEMIES OF THE AVENGERS
Kang
Ultron
Graviton
Loki
Mandarin + Power Rings

This one was super close, too; I just didn't expect Absorbing Man in the mix. I'd call it a success overall. I'm glad that Absorbing Man is getting a release this wave, though, 'cause he was a really fun unit.

HAIL HYDRA
Red Skull + Cosmic Cube
Baron von Strucker
Madame HYDRA
???
???

And I ended up getting one of my three predictions right! I kinda figured MODOK would get lumped in with HYDRA since we don't have much in the way of AIM at the moment, but I didn't imagine we'd see Mandarin in with these guys, though; he's not really the type that associates himself with other villains much. But, he does have his own international criminal syndicate, so I can see the logic behind that.

I think that is the wrong Loki figure, and I know its the wrong Red Skull, Mandarin, Absorbing Man, and Grodd.

Other than female Loki, the only other Loki is like $50, while this one is one $10. :p

Not quite - the current $45 Loki will be down to about $5 when he's re-released in the upcoming Fast Forces pack. Come on, Pyre, you think I update that big HeroClix thread for my health? :p

[IAmBatman]

$5 Loki? You bet I'll be buying one when that happens! :-D
And, yeah, Johnny, you were spot on with a lot of that!

[tcglkn]

Oh yea I can't wait for that Thor Fast Forces set to get me a Loki.

[elitebeatk]

I really hope one of these has magical defense. I've been wanting to use it for some customs, and it would be fun to play Loki vs. Hawkgirl.

[Karat]

I can tell you now that he does not have that power ;)

[tcglkn]

I picked up the new Future Foundation comic book yesterday and read it last night. The series may be a decent read.

Hey guys, just a heads up to send some prayers in the North Carolina direction to Griffin and his family and neighbors as they were all just hit by a pretty nasty tornado from Griff's account of it. No deaths or injuries or anything from Griff's clan, but it sounds like there was some property damage, some wreckage to the neighborhood, power outages, and all kinds of crap like that.

[Good Pig]

That's terrible. I'm glad to hear everyone is okay.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, so was I!

I used to live in Arkansas, and tornadoes are scary stuff. We never had us hit one directly, but we had some close calls and plenty of nasty storms that typically generate tornadoes. They are not fun.

Glad you are OK Griff!

[SirGalahad]

Driving back from FRC Robotics Championships in Atlanta 2 years ago, we narrowly avoided some of those in Arkansas. This year we only have to drive to St. Louis and back, but we still have to be careful.

[davidlhsl]

:(

Prayers dispatched!

[Griffin]

Thanks for the prayers and thoughts guys.

I was working downtown Raleigh where it got hit the worst, and a tornado ripped through at the Harley Davidson show case event where I was working. It busted the huge front glass (thankfully everyone had enough sense to move away from the windows already) then there was a huge gas leak and we had to evacuate into the streets. I hurried to my inlaw's house with wife and 3 kids, and powerlines and signs were falling over on the way. We got there safely and after being there for about 4 minutes, we heard the tornado coming so we all jumped in the closet and bathroom in the center of the house - that is when I looked out the door and out the back window and saw the tornado pulling my father inlaw's garage and roof off the freaking house! It was an absolute nightmare folks. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Afterwards, we drove around the neighborhood and saw millions of dollars of damage of destroyed homes, cars, property, and powerlines, and the worst was one of our power towers was laying in the street. We were able to see the path of a devastating tornado that ended right at our house, and thankfully it never touched down - if it had, it would have killed hundreds of people, including us.

I am now just waiting for them to call so we can go over there and start helping out with the cleaning up.

[tcglkn]

That sounds absolutely scary. Luckily I'm far enough south that I wasn't hit by this storm. I cannot imagine how bad it must be up there. Is there anything I can do for you Griff? You are definitively in my prayers.

[Karat]

Wow, Glad you're ok Griff. I hope all the clean up efforts go well. My prayers go with you and everyone else affected in this disaster.

Has anyone drafted Mr. Freeze yet? I'm getting some ideas for him...

[Good Pig]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's one of Griffin's drafts. No harm in posting your ideas though. :)

[Griffin]

I would love to see your ideas LP, or anyone. I do have Mr Freeze drafted, but a great idea is a great idea no matter where it comes from.

[johnny139]

I actually have some idea for Mr. Freeze, too, but they're pretty loose. He'd trap people in glaciers, that's the basic outline.

Anyways, things are really gearing up at DC Animation - All-Star Superman was released recently, and their next DTVs are as follows:

Batman: Year One
Justice League: Doom (based on the Tower of Babel)
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

HERE (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-year-one-lines-up-179942) is an article I was just reading on Year One. With pictures! Looking pretty good. I'm wary about the other two if only because I don't really like the source material, but, we'll see.

[Lord Pyre]

I would love to see your ideas LP, or anyone. I do have Mr Freeze drafted, but a great idea is a great idea no matter where it comes from.

Alright, I'll show my ideas this afternoon. I wanted to addmore of his background with his emotions/vengeance, etc, and not make him like most of the others I've seen (Freeze gun, cold strength, heat weakness :p )

[quozl]

Oh, by the way....

I want to make a Lobo card, but I don't want to pay $20 for the only heroclix lobo figure available. I would actually prefer a standing lobo over one riding his space hog. Does anyone have any helpful ideas as to what figures I could start with to make a custom Lobo??

[Griffin]

I don't have the name of the figure for you right now, but there is a gray skinned chain fighter with blond hair from DnD. I painted his hair, put some skulls on his kneecaps on his boots, and painted his eyes and mouth, and he looks great for Lobo.

For Hugo Strange, use the body of Batman and the head of Doctor Savana. :done:

I saw that figure online, but didn't have him. I didn't know if the head was going to be large enough proportionally for the Batman body I wanted to use. (I used a Batman with a broken ear tip). So I used Rasputin instead. Plus, Rasputin has a beard where as sivana doesn't. Once I get done painting and adding some mounds for glasses, I will get a picture up so you can see, but it might be a while, I'm gearing up for finals right now.

The cool thing is that I plan on drafting Hugo Strange this week. :)

[davidlhsl]

Bats and Griff... Do you get the nigiri sushi (raw fish draped over rice ball), or do you just stick with the rolls? I love both kinds. My fave is the shrimp where they prepare the tail section raw nigiri style, then serve with the head fried. Yummmmm! :)

[Balantai]

Living out here in Southern California, sushi bars are just as common as burger joints.

I like them both. A well made rainbow roll is my favorite thing to get, though. A lot of the sushi rolls just have too much mayo (blech). I'd rather they keep it simple - rice, fish, a veggie or two for color.

[davidlhsl]

I know how I'll celebrate C3G's birthday tomorrow... with sushi!

[All Your Pie]

Cheerio, all.

I'm not going to be very active for the next few days. My computer got hit by some silly virus scam, so while it's getting fixed I'll have to use my mom's and she doesn't want me on there too much.

I'm certianly not going to miss the release tomorrow, though. :)

~AYP, who is secretly containing inner rage...

[IAmBatman]

Yuck. Sorry to hear that, Pie! Hope it all gets worked out.

I just finished watching episode 18 of Smallville, what an absolutely brilliant episode with Booster Gold & Blue Beetle. Both roles were perfectly adapted & spot-on. I hate that the show has had to come so far to the end of it's life before they made it this outstanding. I suppose the fact that Geoff Johns wrote the episode had nothing to do with how great Booster Gold was as a character :D. This was definitely one of my favourite episodes & it's bitter-sweet that the end is so nigh.

I watched it last night. It was really cool. Booster Gold's character was perfectly written.

I'm looking forward to the finale but it's gonna be disappointing that it is over.

[Griffin]

Yes, the show has come a very long way, and these last few episodes are gonna be very bitter sweet. I know most people are really hoping that the producers live up to their promise of Clark putting on the suit and flying on the last episode, and that would be great, but I am hoping that Lex returns even more. I want Lex to return with some super criminals only to be stopped by Superman and the Justice League. That would be an amazing way to end it. :D

[tcglkn]

The previews show that Lex does indeed return. Now the super criminals and JLA part I am not sure about. That would be very, very awesome.

[Good Pig]

Just ordered some more X-Men comics last night. I've got Dark Phoenix Saga and Days of Future Past on the way. Thank you Amazon! :)

[Griffin]

Ooooh yeah! Those are both excellent stories. :up:

[Scapemage]

Happy Easter!

Happy Resurrection Day!

Plenty of people have come back from the dead, but only ONE came back and stayed alive forever. And that is the difference between "raising from the dead" and "resurrection". ~ He's alive :D

Nice, love the scripture/Matt Maher refference!

[Porkins]

Matt Maher??? I don't know who that is. This is a bonafide Paul quotation.

I love the piece in Handel's Messiah where he used that verse and wrote it to be sung as a duet.

[Griffin]

Just thought you guys should know in case you missed it, because of the newest front page article, but C3G's Wave 5 was posted on the front page. So we should all go comment and show our support, if you haven't already. :)

[1Mmirg]

I see you have your battlesuit on for the occasion, Griff--looking good! (You know, the cards are looking good, not you ;)...)

Seriously, these are some great looking cards and a wonderful addition to SuperScape--been needing some more vile folks around to beat up on!

[LordEsenwienIV]

Talking about the cards I LOVE Professor Zoom's!! Great work Art Dept!!!!!

[Balantai]

As a fan of the Young Justice cartoon on Cartoon Network, I'd like to do an Aqualad custom, but he has no mini. Any suggestions/ideas for a proxy or customization for him?

[tcglkn]

What is wrong with this Aqualad (http://www.hcrealms.com/units/cr004.jpg)?

Number 004 in the Crisis set.

Nope. I see what's wrong with that mini now. :lol:

[Balantai]

You should give it a shot. It's a really good cartoon. I enjoy it a bit more than Avengers: Earth's Mighiest Heroes. I think the character development for this Young Justice is done better.

I've had the same problem; I have some great ideas for Kaldur'ahm but there just ain't no mini. I'm sure you could mod one together (I'm thinking Gotham City Detective as the head?), but personally I'm just waiting until HeroClix releases one - Young Justice seems popular enough, so, it's only a matter of time. Lesser shows have gotten greater tie-ins.

And I can second this, too. I think I prefer the Avengers by a smidgen (and The Brave and The Bold by a mile), but Young Justice is definitely one of the best cartoons on TV. But with Greg Weisman at the helm, well, how can it NOT be?

[redstang]

I don't have the name of the figure for you right now, but there is a gray skinned chain fighter with blond hair from DnD. I painted his hair, put some skulls on his kneecaps on his boots, and painted his eyes and mouth, and he looks great for Lobo.

Well, I can scour the dnd sections for a while in hopes of finding something. But in the meantime, I'll work on my Hugo Strange figure. (I cut the head off of a Rasputin figure and put it on a Batman body, now he just needs some glasses and a beard trim)


Hey, I have some low res pics of my hugo strange figure, but I don't know how to post them on here, also, how do you get them into a spoiler thingy so they don't crowd the board? Anybody wanna help on this one?

[Good Pig]

(spoiler)(/spoiler)

Except use [ ] instead of ( ). :)

[tcglkn]

Eh, I don't have time to watch comics right now. I'll keep it in mind though. Lately I have been reading back issues of Flash and Supergirl and modern issues of GL.

[redstang]

Okay, So the best I can do with my limited knowledge of computer tech is this:

The Custom Hugo Strange figure is the last two photos. I also have a rebased MODOK, a Custom Jack Bauer, and a Custom Agent Zero in the album.

The second one needs to be [/spoiler]

Not sure why image isn't working. You can just post the link to it. That works.

[Griffin]

I love it. I am looking forward to getting around to making my own. :up:

[IAmBatman]

Kaldur has been all over Brightest Day as well, so I expect him to get his own Clix mini eventually. I can wait on drafting him for C3G until then, personally. :-)
Oh, and Happy belated Easter all and Happy belated Birthday to C3G!

[Griffin]

I really like him and his powers too. I think it would be a lot of fun to design him, or be a part of his design to be more accurate.

[quozl]

Did you see Snappleman's offer of making a C3G Battleplan in the comments of the Wave 5 release blog post?

Yeah, I have actually been chatting with him off site about teaming up and working on a C3G website.

Wishing my family's economic situation would improve soon. We are currently running on an extremely tight budget, and food is kind of scarce at the moment as well. I know we'll pull through, it's just kind of hard to see much other than the murky bottom right now, but I know better times are coming. I just wish the lord would show what I must do to speed them along.

By the way, last I heard, Hidicul got a job waiting tables.

Yeah, Hidicul contacted me last week and told me he was waiting tables and making about the same amount of money as he would be if he were on the oil rigs, just without the danger.

I know things get tough Karat, GOD knows I know, but chin up - you are living in the land of opportunity. We are gonna make it here man. Just some practical advice fwiw; when you are on a tight budget, buy some HUGE bags of dry beans, rice, and spices.... then get creative. :D It is really good food and it is really cheap. I had rice for dinner tonight with some season salt and cayenne pepper. :mmmm: good.

[Griffin]

Oh, and for recreation, GO FISHING! It is free food. :D

[Karat]

Yeah, the first one, is a good idea, the second one would be..if I liked the taste of fish..I spose i could aquire it though.

[Griffin]

You could hunt small game like doves, rabbits, squirrel, turkey, etc. All good eats IMO. Oh, and Japanese noodles are cheap and delicious. :D

[Karat]

Thanks for the tips, i'll keep them in mind.

[davidlhsl]

:(

You're in my prayers, Karat.

[Margloth]

I've been reading Batman: Batman and Son. I liked it.

We need to get crackin' on Man-Bat and Man-Bat assassins!
