The C3G Cave - Hangout

[Hahma]

You mean you don't talked about a big boobed woman with a bike and Godzilla humping a building behind her outside of here in your normal life GO? :D

[Matt Helm]

Seeing Godzilla always brings back mammaries of when I was a kid.

Now if you guys could only point out the Godzilla, I would appreciate it.

Mammaries like that one time your mom cumbusted you on your computer alone in your room ... ?
Oh, wait, I forgot how old you are. :-P Substitute abacus for computer there ...

Wait...there's a bike in that picture, too?!!! :shock:

I'm going to have to rack up some more time starting at that picture...

[davidlhsl]

That reminds me of something I would love to hear Tom Vasal say in one of his Dice Tower videos. If you haven't seen any of them, he has a massive collection of board games, which he displays behind him in most of his videos.

"Excuse me, my eyes are up here."

[Griffin]

Even the girl is looking down on those things....

Alright.... someone needs to nip this in the bud before it becums to hard to stop. Consider me spent. I am now pulling out of this conversation.

Are we all done now, or would someone else like to add a couple more drops to the bucket?

[Porkins]

OK, that was too far Griff.

[Griffin]

Hello, I am "too far Griff". :lol:

[LordEsenwienIV]

Hello, I am "too far Griff". :lol:

Soo many add-ons towatch you just said that could be made. But unlike Grif, I can refrain myself.;)

[Longy418]

Looks like the military finally started using them bazookas against Godzilla.

My girlfriend and I had some recognizable costumes this year for our haunted house running! Not the greatest, but they WERE done pretty quickly. :p Eight monsters in the haunted house told me I had a nice hat. ;)

[Good Pig]

You said "Riddle Me This" about 30 times that night I'm sure. :lol:

[johnny139]

Ooh, I've always wanted to do a Riddler costume... whole nine yards, lime green suit, purple question marks, bowler cap. And I'd talk in question/answer format the entire time!

It'd be expensive as all hell, but man would it be worth it. And I could wear to to some sort of convention, too!

[IAmBatman]

Nice hat.

[Griffin]

:star::star::star::star::star: Awesome.

[Lord Pyre]

You said "Riddle Me This" about 30 times that night I'm sure. :lol:

My girlfriend was more annoyed than she's ever been. It was awesome. :twisted:

Her costume was fun to make; we handmade all the flower clips for in her hair!

And Johnny, I looked at every Goodwill in Milwaukee and Manitowoc for a green suit jacket. The closest I could find was a costume military uniform. :p

EDIT: And I just got my first yellow rep bar! Woohoo! :P

[Flame Gryphon]

Huh. So I guess I'm not the only one who decided to be the Riddler for all Halloween related celebrations? :p

[Lord Pyre]

My favorite Halloween costume in recent years has been "Bruce Wayne." Basically a suit worn with a dress shirt unbuttoned a few buttons over a Batman t-shirt. Heh.

[omael]

Great costume pyre, i can imagine you removing order markers of the other guests at the haunted house

Great job LP. Your girlfriend would be even better for some green lipstick.

What's with the non-scary costumes for Halloween though? I will hopefully look the part of a zombie.

[Margloth]

Just read Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire. Having very much enjoyed it, as well as on the War of Kings stuff, I was wondering if the likes of Havok, Polaris, Vulcan, and the Starjammers are in the pipeline? ;)

[Good Pig]

All of those are wide open to my knowledge. Post away! :)

[IAmBatman]

Yep. I think Spidey had Vulcan drafted at one point, but it's since been returned to the pot. Havok and Polaris have been on my "to draft" list for ages, but because I want to see them done, not because I have ideas for them! :-)

[tcglkn]

Was just thinking it'd be cool to have our Bios link across to other C3G Books. So that if you are reading Hawkman's Bio, and you don't know who Hawkgirl is you could click the link and go to her Book, see her card and read her bio. Don't know if this interests anybody else.

[johnny139]

I could probably put something like that together when I go over the Books for synergy later.

[tcglkn]

That would be great johnny!

[IAmBatman]

If I didn't think I'd take heat for having too many Mods in this area, I'd really love to make you a Mod for projects like this ... (Tickle, I mean, not Johnny, although ...).

[tcglkn]

How would you take the heat for having too many Mods in an area that you pretty much run? I wouldn't need to be a mod anywhere outside of C3G forums to do something like this. Just being curious into the life of an Admin. :p

[Griffin]

C3G has grown HUGE. So having multiple mods becomes more and more necessary as we grow. We could basically justify having our own site at this point even.

[Margloth]

I see your argument, Griff, and raise you that C3G has only become as successful as it is because of the number of mods involved and their dedication and hard work!

[tcglkn]

No, C3G is so successful because of our Public and their dedication to playtesting.

[Margloth]

Yes, yes, that's important too... but the practical fact of the matter is it would be much harder to keep the project so streamlined, efficient, and in the public eye without all the maintanence work the mods do.

Not that the project wouldn't work, it just wouldn't work as well.

[IAmBatman]

I'll sleep on it. ;-)

[Griffin]

Both statements are correct. Us Mods keep things in order, and order is what has kept C3G on track and focused since it started, but ALL of the people in the group fuel the group with the dedicated work.

[Karat]

It is the combination of all things that create balance, and that is what any group needs to survive.

[tcglkn]

Just noticed my shiny new badge! Thanks Bats! :D

[Griffin]

Welcome to the Moderhood. :D

[LordEsenwienIV]

A well deserved badge Tickle!

[IAmBatman]

I don't know what you're talking about. ;-)

[Griffin]

I really just had to come here right quick and say how after almost 3 years of C3G, I am still having so much fun. I just love this group project. I just finished up an awesome game with the new Brainiac I am working on, and I am looking at all of the really exciting designs in the sanctum and public, new drafts, public polls, great maps, a new C3G Wave, Johnny's new HeroClix thread, and I am just in complete awe at how large and impressive this group has grown. If I am one of the the founding fathers of C3G, and C3G is my baby, then I am one proud as heck dad.

My son won the competition for best dressed male, with his warlock outfit. The judges apparently liked the make-up (gees I'm good :p):

So what do you guys like to do to stay fit and active? I've put on some pounds, and everything I try to reverse this has been not working super well for me. I need some fresh ideas... hopefully something I can really enjoy.

[johnny139]

Walking. I find that about 10000 steps a day is enough to tilt the balance. Nothing too strenuous, but worth the time investment, and a good time to think about stuff (from important stuff to C3G drafts).

What johnny139 says. Walking is pretty much the only exercise I do get. Back around 2004 I hiked pretty regularly. There are tons of great trails about 2-1/2 to 3 hours from me, but I headed out every Saturday. Very hot summers and high gas prices put the halt on that. However, there is a 1.7 mile block at work that I walk regularly, and there are parks and greenways in Nashville that I walk on weekends.

There were some other things I did that helped my health a lot, though not necessarily out of a healthy mindset. My choices have been more out of a change in what I want. Getting older does that. :)

First, I simply stopped drinking sodas. I drink unsweetened loose leaf tea and water now. I will drink sweet tea in restaurants, and I will drink a soda very rarely (as in, once a month at most).

Second, I simply realized that most foods are heavily salted anyways, so I stopped reaching for the salt shaker. I don't cut back to low sodium foods, mind you. I simply accept whatever salt is already on the food. Only exception is eggs.

Finally, I cut way back on eating at fast food restaurants. I haven't cut it completely, but I'll opt more towards the sit-down establishments and non-chain ethnic restaurants (especially Asian).

Only medication I take is blood pressure medicine. My doctor's visits have produced good results, but I do tell the doctor I don't go too far into the healthy lifestyle. Yes, I'm sick of fast food, but I refuse to stay away from White Castles when I get the craving, and I'm not going to simply eat salads unless something drastic with my health requires it (even then, I may decide to cheat, because life is short anyways). However, I do make myself conscious of the choices I make. One of the foods that always gives me good blood pressure reading is eating seafood, even when it's fried. Works for me, because I *love* seafood!

I believe moderation is the key. Unless your health requires it, start by looking at the choices you make now, and find areas to adjust. For exercise, start parking at the far end of the parking lot to force yourself to walk further. If you eat out daily, start with one day a week where you pack your own lunch (I'm assuming you're not in school here). If there are eating places near the place you work, walk to them instead of driving. Look for parks in your area, and see if they have any walking trails. If you have a family, see if you can get them interested in joining you.

[Scapemage]

Biking is a really easy thing you could do. Biking is fun and very exercising.

[Porkins]

While I enjoy doing physical exercise type activities, I really believe that the calorie intake is much more important than the burn. In other words, if I eat 3,000 calories, and then go burn 300 calories exercising for half an hour, did it really do me any good? No, because the intake far outweighed the amount I burned.

David's suggestion about sodas is right on for me. Number one rule: don't drink your calories. I drink water almost exclusively.

One thing I did learn is that it isn't the calories, or the carbs, it's the fat. Fat makes you fat. You don't need to cut your calories or your carbs, cut your fat.

[IAmBatman]

I only do it about once a week anymore (lazy me) but I like to ride the exercise bike in front of the TV. Good way to watch the things my wife doesn't want to watch with me anyway like The Walking Dead or Breaking Bad or Monday Night Football.

Depends on the types of fat. Saturated fat and trans fats, sure. But most Americans don't get enough good fats in our diets - the types found in nuts, fish, legumes, avocado, etc.
When I decided a while back that I needed to start eating better and get my cholesterol down (I've since lost 20 lbs) I knew that I wouldn't get anything done if I focused on what I couldn't eat, so instead I focused on eating more of the stuff that's good for me to eat - green tea, spinach, other green vegetables, whole grains, and slowly replaced much of my diet with these things (resulting in about the same amount of eating, but less consumption of things like white breads, meats, cheese, etc.). I still have a major weakness for sugar, though. :reapershrug:

[Porkins]

Bats, you are describing me exactly! I have been gradually eating less meats, breads and cheeses as well. I've been eating more spinach and other greens, fruit, grains and legumes. We also started having Green Smoothies (http://www.greensmoothiegirl.com/)on a daily basis. They are actually quite good, and it's an easy way to bump my fruit and spinach intake way up.

Oh yeah, and I completely agree about the right kinds of fats and the sugar addiction...mmm...Halloween.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I love to eat fruit first thing in the morning to get metabolism going, and spinach (just love it raw) and nuts both make good snacks.

[LordEsenwienIV]

My main thing is martial arts! Super enjoyable, but it's hard to get started without finding a school to learn from.
Eating better is great! I rarely ever drink a soda, and feel a ton better than I used to. Getting water at restaurants is healthy, and saves a ton of money because sodas are so overpriced. :p But I didn't used to be overweight, I was just unhealthy and skinny, so take my suggestions how you will!

[IAmBatman]

At about 27, unhealthy and skinny starts becoming unhealthy and not so skinny ... :-P At least it did for me. Felt like I went from 155 to 185 overnight. Down to 165 now, though, but I have to keep at it.

[Flame Gryphon]

So what do you guys like to do to stay fit and active? I've put on some pounds, and everything I try to reverse this has been not working super well for me. I need some fresh ideas... hopefully something I can really enjoy.

I just do various push ups, crunches, etc. every morning.

[johnny139]

See, I love fruit (definitely an apple a day kind of guy), but I have a HUGE weakness for grains and I can't call myself a big vegetable fan. I mean, I'll have some corn of green beans with dinner, but given the choice I'd rather just take a slice of buttered bread or four and chow down.

Of course, soda's another Achilles' Heel. I used to drink a can a day - I've got it down to two or three a week, but it's always present.

Oh, another big help for me was Wii Fit. Not to exercise, but to chart your weight over time. When you've gained two or three pounds over the last day, you tend to decide against a slice of cake... just by being aware of how much I weigh on a daily basis, I've thinned out a lot over the past three years. I mean, it's slow and steady, but I'm down under 170 now from nearly 200 when I started three years ago.

[IAmBatman]

My advice would be to make sure all the bread/grains you eat are whole grain. You'll still get to eat grains, but they'll fill you up faster and be better for you.

[Margloth]

Lots of good suggestions here. I'm a big guy, always have been (6'4", currently 270 lbs.). I whipped myself down to 225 a couple of years ago, ran a couple of half marathons, etc., but lately it's just been piling back on. It's so hard to run once you get heavier. :lol:

[Hahma]

Try working out on an elliptical, it's a lot easier on the knees and you can get your arms and chest worked out too. I used to run a lot when I was younger but after many years of that and working construction, my knees are kind of shot. So I like to get out and ride my mountain bike in the good weather and work out on the elliptical in bad weather. Both are knee friendly, although I kind of over did it on the bike this summer and did some crazy long rides and got runner's knee (of all things) to sideline me for a bit. I guess moderation is the key. :D

I am in the same boat. I am 6'4" and 270 lbs. I use to compete in fighting/kick boxing/MMA/Grappling/etc before I got married, and my fighting weight was 220. A couple of years ago, I got down to 220 again, but I didn't maintain a healthy diet. I am pretty active though, I just have horrible eating habits, like Pizza past midnight. :lol:

[Margloth]

I always think I'd love to try MMA... just from a workout perspective, not really interested in competitive fighting (it hurts! :lol:). Seems like a fun way to stay in shape.

That's the problem, pizza is just too dang good :lol:

[reverie]

Don't blame pizza! I'm 5'7" and somewhere around 155 and I eat pizza all the time! :)

Often beverages are a major source of calories. There was a period back in high school where I had a mini-fridge set up in my bedroom, which I kept stocked with Mountain Dew and chocolate milk. I went from 140 lbs to 180 lbs in 3 months. :shock:

Now I pretty much just drink water. Some (real) juice sometimes.

I also don't eat sugar, which I recommend everyone tries for like a week, even if just so you can really see how much sugar you're eating - it's in everything! (Though to really do this you first need to learn all the ways its labeled)

...I just hate to hear pizza take the blame. I love pizza! ;)

[Griffin]

Pizza is loaded with carbs, calories, fat, and sugar.... It is definitely the problem. Now some pizza here or there is fine, especially when balanced with a regular/proper diet, but when you eat as much as I do and as often, it is definitely a problem.

It's amazing. They managed to fit in a fairly large amount of characters and yet give all of them an amount of time they deserve. The Catwoman segments do tend to drag a bit, but the rest is simply fantastic. Especially the boss battles. :) If you played Arkham Asylum, then simply think of Arkham City as the same, but far bigger and better than the already great game that came before it.

[IAmBatman]

I suck too much at video games to do well at any of those, but I think I should scour youtube and just see if I can't watch some of the boss battles. I'd love to actually watch the video game as if it were a movie (looks close enough).

So I've been playing Batman Arkham City lately, and I was just wondering if Mr. Freeze is drafted yet, and if he has gone through playtesting already.
Is the game good? I heard it got 10/10.

It's amazing. They managed to fit in a fairly large amount of characters and yet give all of them an amount of time they deserve. The Catwoman segments do tend to drag a bit, but the rest is simply fantastic. Especially the boss battles. :) If you played Arkham Asylum, then simply think of Arkham City as the same, but far bigger and better than the already great game that came before it.

I watched my friend give Grundy the beat down. So cool. 8)

That was actually in awesome fight, though the best were probably Mr. Freeze and Ra's al Ghul.

Wow I had no idea any of those guys were in the game. Makes me want it so much more.
Is anyone going to be buying bases anytime soon? I might be re-basing some of my figures and maybe we could combine an order.

I'm definitely nabbing Arkham City. Loved Asylum enough to get this one hot off the presses... for the PC, of course.

Anyways, anyone else doing NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)? I'm giving a shot this year with some other guys. Pretty smooth sailing so far, though that's pretty easy to say on the first day. :lol:

Yeah, it's a "free to play, pay to win" sort of situation. Still worth a shot, though; I'll be giving it a spin later.

I played it back when it was first released. I love it! Very interesting stories and the character creation is so diverse.

I think the Dark Knight still holds that honor, but the first half of Captain America is solid stuff for sure. Great character development on Steve Rogers... but I was less enthusiastic about him once he actually became Cap.

I don't know, I liked the Dark Knigt a lot, don't get me wrong, but I don't know, I still think there was something missing in it that wasn't in Cap.

Again, the first half of Captain America has perhaps the most heart of any Superhero movie out there... something DK is definitely lacking.

That must be what it was then. I think Dark Knight has better thematics and action, but it needed that little extra umph that Cap received with the heart that it has. I think Dark Knight leaves the audience too detached to be considered the top anymore.

[Lord Pyre]

I actually didn't like Cap very much. It felt to me that instead of focusing on making a good superhero or war movie, they split down the middle and made a mediocre superhero/war movie. I don't know, it was alright, but it didn't leave me with a huge grin on my face like the Iron Man movies, or with chills like the Dark Knight. It was just alright.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I wish they'd make a Superman movie with as much heart as Cap's movie had. Cap's movie is a great example of how a feel good boyscout character actually can make for a great movie if done correctly.
Superman's problem is that he's never really been the underdog you want to root for (except, maybe, romantically with Lois).

OK, I'll give you Dark Knight (certainly) and Iron Man I over Captain America, but Iron Man II? Really??

See the Iron Man movies left me wanting, especially the second one. I totally agree about the Dark Knight leaving chills though.

[IAmBatman]

I loved the first Iron Man movie other than the final battle. Honestly, the only really great superhero battle scenes I've seen in Iron Man movies thus far were when Tony escaped his kidnappers in Iron Man I, and when he battled Whiplash on the racetrack in Iron Man II. I felt like the final battles in both movies were more flash than substance (though not even that much flash in Iron Man I's final battle). I'd take the battles in Batman Begins, Spider-Man II (not I - the Green Goblin battle had the same problem Iron Man I did, IMO), Captain America, Thor, and The Dark Knight over those in the Iron Men movies.

See, I'm just the opposite. I loved the second half of Iron Man and always love to watch it, but I saw the first half once or twice and am usually less enthused. The Iron Monger armor is just so cool... hmm, wonder if he's drafted...

[Griffin]

The best SuperHero fight scene goes to Thor, The Warriors 3, Siff, and Loki VS the Frost Giants on Jotunheim. That was some great action and battle tactics. 8)

I have to agree there. If that had had the heart of captain America, I think that would be my pick for the top movie.

Superman's problem is that he's never really been the underdog you want to root for (except, maybe, romantically with Lois).

This is coming from the perspective of someone who isn't immersed in comics and has only seen the first two films with Christopher Reeves (which I enjoyed)...

I have to say that I partially have this view of Superman, as I admit that I do hope to see him taken down due to the fact that he seems invincible. But once he does get exposed to Kryptonite and is weakened, my heart really goes out to the guy. I had the same reaction when Griffin posted the comic image when Metallo went to playtest. Seeing Superman down on the ground with a sneering Metallo looking down on him really made my heart ache for Superman.

I guess my reaction is based on the fact that Superman is basically the essence of decency, and I hate to see decency assaulted by cruelty. And I turn on the news and see how cold and cruel the world can be. In the end, I'll take the side of Superman. There are plenty of real-life "Supermen" (and women) in the world, so there is hope for humanity after all. :D

[Griffin]

Superman represents all of our "best". He is best at power, morality, action, thought, intention, survival, etc. He is best at all. For me, Superman is most interesting when he is being manipulated by the one being who has just one thing better than him; Lex Luthor's ability or inability to see any good in the world. Superman cannot look on this master mind of evil and see only bad, and Lex cannot look on this god-like boyscout and see anything but bad. It has been said that heroes are only as good as their enemies, and the relationship between Lex and Kal is the most dynamic in terms of Villain VS Hero, and that relationship, when it is captured correctly, is when I appreciate Superman the most. "our best/strong/good VS our worst/weak/evil"

I suppose my problem with Superman is he is too extreme. He is either all one way or the other, he doesn't really possess any middle ground. He just doesn't seem very relatable, which is what I like in my Super Heroes. Sure, the way he acts and behaves is relatable, but that's where it ends. It's entirely unrealistic to have nigh unto no weaknesses. The whole point of being a hero, IMO, is to overcome your weaknesses making them strengths.

I suggest checking out Superman: The Animated Series. I've watched volumes 1 & 2 and I've really enjoyed them.

[Margloth]

Superman does have other weaknesses though... mostly in personality. He simply won't do the wrong thing... ever. Often this leads to suffering on his part. I actually find Superman to be one of the more interesting characters, when written correctly. (Something that doesn't happen enough.)

Hmmm.... I think the god-like omnipotence of Superman is comparable to Christ though, and Christ (whether you are a believer or not) is a cultural icon of how we view our heroes, or rather how we wish others viewed us: selfless and unparalleled. Pretty much all "American Superheroes" are selfless, and Superman is the extreme of that, sure, but all superheroes are an extremity of a quality or qualities that we admire.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, but Superman isn't a human - he's alien scum. :-P (insert evil Lex Luthor laugh here). Cap nails that whole "best of humanity" theme. Superman's a strange visitor helping out and trying to fit in, not quite a human and not quite a God (which is why you get all the Christ imagery, though Christ was and is fully both).

That's a very interesting point. I don't know though, Christ doesn't exactly strike me so much as Superman, as a Hybrid between Superman and Captain America. He had America's discretion, and both of their resolves, with Superman's might, but that does put Superman in a new light for me. I was always kind of eh about him before, and now, I'm going to look at him differently the next time I see him in action.

I think my problem with a lot of the heroes is that I tend to emerse myself inside of them as I have an overactive imagination. I feel what they feel, or as I imagine it anyways, and I've just had a lot harder time doing that with a lot of DC heroes.

[Griffin]

Superman is both Human and Kryptonian though. Obviously Kryptonian by birth and power, but also Human, not because of what he is, but because of who he is with his down to Earth, apple pie upbringing on Kent Farm. His character is more Human than Human (insert Rob Zombie). :)

[IAmBatman]

I think DC's done a lot better job over the years of keeping Batman's tragic past a big part of his story (and then reupping things with a second tragedy in the death of Jason Todd). He really seems like a character driven by a painful past. Superman's past is arguably more painful (his entire planet and just about all of his species wiped out) but that pain doesn't seem to translate into his character as much - he's an eternal optimist it seems and almost too happy and good for a guy who's entire homeworld is gone. Sure, there are the moments of sadness about it here and there, but it doesn't seem to drive his character the way it does with Batman, which I think ultimately makes him a little less relatable at times (sure, he has a token moment of sadness here or there, but he seems to "get over it" a little too easily in the moment sometimes, which is hard to relate to.)
At least he's not all emo, though. :-P

He is human, but not in a relatable way the way Cap is. Cap started out weak and then used his human spirit to make something great out of himself (totally the "story of America" there). Superman was orphaned and alone (very Ellis Island so far) but taken in by super nice parents (a little less how the immigrant story works in America) and then floated by a bit on his natural abilities that weren't really earned and that no human can really relate to (though we can envy them).
In fact, I think one of Superman's most interesting aspects is his trying to be human without really feeling human since he kind of is and kind of isn't. Interesting in an adoptee narrative/unsettled identity sense.

[Griffin]

:lol: The age old question eh? Well in C3G, they penetrate, but in the comics, I am not sure. Have those two ever fought before?

From the American Christian perspective, Superman simply represents how we view our savior and how we would like to be ourselves. And his Kansas family upbringing kinda shows that at least one point in time, us Americans viewed Christ as one who shared our values. Superman is kind of a "let's create GOD in our image" situation. So where Batman represents our Humanity to its fullest (light and dark), Superman is a being designed to show how we view our potential.

[davidlhsl]

Very interesting discussion, and I like Karat's point about Superman's universe being more idealistic versus a more pragmatic view represented in Batman, for example. That also makes me realize that I do have a bit of a split personality in my response to both worlds.

With Superman, I initially root against Superman due to his invincibility. Then he gets weakened and I say, "I take it all back! I'm sorry! Get up, Superman!" and feel guilty for rooting against him. :lol:

But I also loved The Dark Knight and was completely glued to the screen whenever Heath Ledger's Joker was on screen. In this case, I'm drawn towards the evil. When Batman enters and cleans up -- and not always in the most pure and innocent manner, mind you -- I guess there's a thrill.

Interesting contrast, and something for any future psychiatrist who has the unfortunate luck of having me for a patient to figure out. :p

From the American Christian perspective, Superman simply represents how we view our savior and how we would like to be ourselves. And his Kansas family upbringing kinda shows that at least one point in time, us Americans viewed Christ as one who shared our values. Superman is kind of a "let's create GOD in our image" situation. So where Batman represents our Humanity to its fullest (light and dark), Superman is a being designed to show how we view our potential.

For sure, but our "potential" isn't really relatable, so much as a reminder of why we ourselves aren't good enough ... :-P Then build in some super powers that we just can't emulate to make it feel really unfair, and it's hard not to sympathize with Lex Luthor at times.
I just love a good "underdog" story, which is why I dug the Captain America movie a lot. Superman is saddled with the "overdog" role, which just don't capture my imagination most of the time.

[johnny139]

One thing I like about Superman is that he's very static. Batman, for example... well, I love THIS (http://writingiseasier.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/batman-alignment-chart.jpg) picture. You can argue Batman from every angle. Is he a hero, a villain, or somewhere in-between? Does he fight for justice or for vengeance? Is he sane? Is he even good? I think it makes for more interesting STORIES, and more interesting LENSES, but I'm not really sure if it makes for a good character.

Superman can also be interpreted, but there are far more absolutes with him. Superman IS good. Superman IS just. Superman IS honorable. Superman IS heroic. If he stops being any of these things, he stops being Superman.

I think we all like to see ourselves reflected in Superman, regardless of our thoughts of opinions. I mean, when an ardent Christian like Griff here and an atheistic socialist like me can both look to the same character and see an icon of everything that's right in the world, you know there's a certain quality to him that's beyond definition.

[Griffin]

So: Superman is and Batman can be

:D

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, I can live with that. I certainly prefer Superman to Batman at his worst, but Batman at his best is untouchable, IMO.

[Hahma]

I still like Cap better. :D

[tcglkn]

Spider-Man is the best. :D

Superman isn't so squeaky clean guys. You've obviously not seen this site (http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=28&Itemid=45) before.

I was thinking about setting up and running a C3G version of the Unit Battle Royale (http://www.heroscapers.com/community/showthread.php?t=35517) that LordRaidor runs every couple of years for classic. Would anyone be interested in that sort of event?

Sure! That'd be fun!

[IAmBatman]

Looks pretty similar to Griff's "best unit" polls ... or is there something different I'm missing?

[tcglkn]

No it's similar,but this thim people predict what the outcome will be.

[1Mmirg]

The UBR's are a ton of fun. I think it could be pretty cool for the C3G. (Just don't introduce Objects, so you don't end up with all that Door Cult craziness :)...)

Of course, it takes a fair amount of work, but it is a good event.

[tcglkn]

It's a fair amount of work but LordRaidor gave me the spreadsheet he uses so that should help. If I don't get a little more interest I'm not going to run something like this though. So chime in if you would participate.

[Porkins]

I would like to do the Battle Royale. Go go Warehouse Ruin!

[IAmBatman]

Go Shrinking Ray Equipment Glyph! :-P

[Griffin]

Tickle, I think the idea is fine, but personally, I always felt the way LR went about it was unnecessarily complicated and confusing. Also, we have had like 8 rounds of voting on who is the best character design in C3G already. Eventually, I want there to be a runoff of those votes/polls.

Yeah, this is what I was referencing earlier in response to this idea. The people definitely had an opportunity to choose on those polls ...

[quozl]

My opinion on Unit Battle Royale:

Please, no! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tcglkn]

Why a death no quozl?

Sounds like there is very little interest in doing this.

Griffin, this isn't about finding the most popular figure, its about the guessing of what will come out of top of the various brackets. Its more of a challenge.

[quozl]

I guess I wouldn't mind if it happened in the Contests forum. Then it gives a little more exposure to C3G and I don't have to look at it and wonder why people would care about such a thing.

(I'm just old and cranky - you can ignore me.)

Griffin, this isn't about finding the most popular figure, its about the guessing of what will come out of top of the various brackets. Its more of a challenge.

So it does seem like there's a difference ... could you, maybe, better explain what exactly it is to those of us like me who really are unfamiliar with it? That might help ameliorate the lukewarm response.

[tcglkn]

Well lets see. You start off with a bunch of polls with 6 units in them (I forget how many polls there are) and everyone submits who they think will be the top two winners of each of those polls, then based on who they have winning, they put who they think will win the next polls and so forth until they have a top two for every poll (once you lose a unit in the first round, your bracket is messed up). Then I would open a poll with the 6 units and keep track of the top two winners of each. Then I would pair the top two of each poll with the top two of the the next poll and have the quarter finals, then pair of the winners of two of those polls all the way until there is one poll with the 4 top units that have made it all the way through.

It takes strategy to win and you really need to have a pulse on the community and what they like to win. It's not all about how fun a unit it, random units can gain a following and go all the way. (The Fortress Door almost won it one year.)

[IAmBatman]

OK, so it's basically "poll to pick the best unit" with a "March Madness bracket prediction" element added in?
Interesting.

[tcglkn]

Yes. I enjoyed the two classic URBs I competed it.

Here's how the brackets made by LordRaidor look:

[Karat]

It does sound interesting. I think it might almost be more interesting if you did it slightly differently. Like say, added in a battle report and actually have them duke it out 1 on 1. It would eleminate the chance for objects, but I think it might get a tad more interest that way, or perhaps, you could do it both ways.

Just my:2cents:

[tcglkn]

I'm not in a position to run something like that. Plus you would have to have enough same point costed units or Superman and Hulk will just run away with it.

[Karat]

I know, I just figured I'd throw it out there anyways.

[LordEsenwienIV]

I'd be good with this. I did pretty good with my first one so I'd like to see how I fair on this one.

[davidlhsl]

Maybe not 1-on-1, but what about this (playing off Karat's suggestion):

Have 7 people promise to play 1 battle and produce a battle report.

You need 8 equal-point armies. Let's say 800. Each of the 7 players get to create an army, and the eighth might come from a vote from the rest of the public. Or, you have eight heroes. Each hero could produce an army.

Mix the armies into a single-elimination tournament bracket, which would be seven games (thus, the seven participants). Determine which player will play which matchup randomly.

Participants would then play their specific game in the tournament and post their battle report. A participant's commitment to this project wouldn't be any more than with playtesting. Note that participants wouldn't necessarily get to play a battle with their army draft.

In other words, it would be like the Burt's Beer tournaments I play myself, except you'd have more people pitching in.

[Porkins]

I forgot to mention that Coolstuffinc is having a shipping sale on minis, 99 cents ships your entire order. I ordered a bunch of Clix and SW minis.

Just played for the first time in ~9 months. All my characters are still there! :D

I just got in a bunch of minis the other day. Among them was Dum Dum Dugan from the Secret Invasion set...he is waaayyy out of scale. He looks like a giant standing next to figures from other sets. Is the entire Secret Invasion set like that? He looks ridiculous standing next to Nick Fury from the Capn A set.

No, just Dum Dum Dugan. Most of the other ones look alright.

Dum Dum Dugan has a reputation as one of (if not THE) worst sculpts in HeroClix history.

Just got home with Arkham City. Anxious to play, but after reading the IGN review I'm being smart and downloading the Catwoman DLC before playing. Which means I probably won't get any game time in until tomorrow, seeing as how FNM is tonight.

I have Guild Wars & I think all of the expansions. I really enjoyed it. In GW I was part of a very active local guild which made it most enjoyable but then WOW had some special sign-up deals & drew most of my guild away. So then I tried WOW & found myself saying why can't I do... like I can in GW, so I never went back to it. But since my fellow guild members weren't active I found less reason to get on & I haven't finished most expansions & there is at least 1 which I didn't even start.

In short unless you have an addictive personality I would say that it's the people you play with that make the MMO games fun.

I agree that friends are a big part of it. Even if you don't know them IRL, making friends in-game makes it more enjoyable. I have spurts when I play Runescape for a couple of months, and with almost 200 friends it gets enjoyable.

Elder Scrolls is an MMO I really enjoy even though I don't have any of them.

[johnny139]

Two poor teenagers in 1913 New York City meet by chance and, more or less on a whim, decide to run off to California. Hiding out in boxcars, stealing bread, living off the streets; that sort of thing. They get split up, meet up again, get on the wrong side of mobsters, almost die of meningitis, so on, so forth. Very much an old-time adventure story.
