How dare you post a brand new thread drawing attention to and accepting responsibility for your mistake rather than simply adding a new comment to a now week+ old thread that would get no visibility!

What kind of Internet user do you think you are being so transparent and honest!?

Don't you know you're meant to post such things on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door reading "Beware of the leopard" in the cellar with no lights or stairs?

Pfft, amateurs these days! 😮

Or he could just ban evade and make yet another alt account despite claiming he wouldn't do something like that.

The retarded thing is he didn't even do that the first time for his usual gig, it was about Epic doing something after he tried shilling for them for ages, but then he has admitted to buying gta5 at least 4 times, "unironically consuming product" as I said at the time, so he's not the brightest knife in the tool shed when it comes to gaming,

Watching Anchorman and taking a shot every time someone says "Ron Burgundy" would be a better idea than what was done, and that's probably going to be lethal as it gets said at least 60 times.

Light side Imp stories were amazing for how snarky you could be to everyone and one of my favourite features of the game back when I played it.

That and GSF which I excelled at so much I had people try and put hits out on me in pvp. It never worked, I just shot down the entire other team more anyway.

So instead the character gets inserted into other works like happened with Kamala being written into Amazing Spider-Man only to then get killed off so the X-Men could bring her back as a mutant.

The amount is of downright stupidity involved in all that is still to this day staggering.

First off none of the ASM cast had any chemistry with Kamala, and their attempts at mourning her were just shit flashbacks that were made up in the issue so there was no gravitas to any of it.

Second, her death wasn't even done very well or somewhere it would make even the slightest bit of sense. Throwing her into ASM was never well received, not that ASM was for the longest time then either, but most people probably missed it because of where and when it happened.

Third, she was barely dead for a month and Emma Frost mind wiped most people so they never knew it happened.

Fourth, her mutant powers turned out to be exactly like the live action version of the character to the surprise of nobody. The whole thing was done for MCU synergy.

The later issues where she comes back are just as stupid for a whole list of other reasons, like trying to do the vitiligo meme but then drawing someone who might have had alopecia instead because apparently the writers and artists are just that fucking stupid.

Naomi had a similar issue with the codename DC went with, Powerhouse, seeing as how that's the moniker Franklin Richards was already using.

Storm is a well liked character.

No she isn't, not right now at least after her continuous run as a Mary Sue in the Krakoa era of X-Men comics that saw her take on almost every powerful mutant that exists, and then countless others introduced throughout the run, and beat every single one of them with ease.

Vulcan, who took on every X-Men character that existed when he debuted and beat them all

Tarn, who beat Vulcan and killed him through sheer strength and power before being jobbed and killed moments later by Magneto

The original Horsemen of Apocalypse, who are his actual bloodborne children

Genesis, Apocalypse's wife

Apocalypse himself

The Faceless Queen, the omega mutant version of Mystique who could copy powers and not just looks

Callisto, again

Nimrod

extradimensional supercomputers/entities called Dominion that live in black holes outside of conventional time and space whose only existing threats are Galactus and the Phoenix Force

All of which happens during a run where every mutant who dies can be brought back to life through several mutants working together, as happened with Vulcan, yet Storm didn't die even once in the 2-3 years the Krakoan comics ran for.

By the end of the run Storm was just a boring Saitama like character, without the humour, who showed up, zapped whatever problem was going on, then left, all the while complaining how others kept letting things go wrong despite Storm spending most of her time on Mars and ignoring all the aforementioned problems developing in the first place.

There's also Bumblebee from DC, Teen Lantern from DC who somehow managed to hack a Green Lantern ring, Naomi from DC, and quite a few more. Wait until you find out what the common denominator is for most of them.

Spoiler: it's Brian Michael Bendis who repeatedly inserts his daughters into every comic company he works for.

Moon Girl is only smart because she's an Inhuman and her superpower is literally "be smort". There are still the actually smart characters such as Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, T'Challa, Amadeus Choir Cho, and Hank McCoy. You'll note most of them are similar bar Black Panther who has always felt like a DEI insert with no originality in the making.

King, supersuit, super serum, smort

In other words, Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America combined, but black.

argument that it should have been filed in California, where the Armentas live, instead of Delaware, where Deadspin’s former parent company, G/O Media, is incorporated

I have a feeling had that happened the argument would instead be that it should have been filed where the company was, as is the actual case. This is desperation tactics and grasping for any straws possibly while simultaneously trying to conjure up said straws in the first place.

One of the biggest problems with 4 is that the game almost literally starts, and does literally end, with a quick time event.

When you're moving around the derelict Forward Unto Dawn and climbing the lift shaft you get to a closed door that opens suddenly something tries to attack you. You resolve this with a QTE that grabs whatever it is and pulls it into the lift shaft, throwing it down the drop below you.

You defeat the big bad who was introduced, built up, and beaten in a single installment in typical shit fashion by slapping a blue plasma grenade onto him in another QTE.

It borders on how boring the end to ME3 was compared to the previous installments.

ME1: showdown with Saren

ME2: proto Reaper fight

ME3: "Marauder Shields" meme then either talking TIM into shooting himself or using a Renegade interrupt/QTE to do it yourself.

Halo managed to put off such a bad move until at least the trilogy and Reach were out.

Halo 1: warthog run.

Halo 2: primate leader with the hammer.

Halo 3: warthog run.

Reach: last stand.

All action packed, even self referential with 3 ending on another warthog run like the first did, but still all involving the player actually doing something other than pressing a single button to get to the next block of text.

I wonder how quickly social media would explode were a female character to suffer brain damage, amnesia, and then be bed by the latest writers "self insert", pun most definitely intended, since that's precisely what happened when KGBeast shot Nightwing in the head leading to the abomination of a story run that was Ric Grayson and his dating the brand new barrista oc that I don't think has been seen ever again since the run ended.

Technically because of the amnesia it means the actual character can't consent and as Wonder Woman 1984 showed when Diana slept with Steve Trevor inhabiting some random guys body this sort of thing does occasionally get picked up on.

There are bowel movements that lasted longer than Concord and were still less shit.

I actually preordered X-Com 2, yes I know preordering is bad, but X-Com 2 was beyond worthy of that in the end since with the base game, general mod workshop catalogue, Long War 2 mod, War of the Chosen, and the Tactical Legacy Pack meant you could ended up with several games instead of just one.

Obviously that's a lot of hindsight working in my favour so preordering is still something that shouldn't be advised, as ironically was the case with Julian Gallop of all people siding with Tencent money for Phoenix Point. Sure he offered the existing backers their money back but that really just made it worse because now it didn't need fan support or interest since Epic had dug their claws into the game hence the 1 year exclusivity when it launched. While I love the original X-Com and what Julian meant for the series his decision to sell out like that soured my opinion of him permanently. Even Jake Solomon doesn't seem to care about the series anymore hence "X-Com 3" being nothing like what anyone thought there would be when Chimera Squad came out instead.

At least I can play X-Com 2 with my mod list until the heat death of the universe.

Morpehus

The actor could stop taking roles either historically known for being one way, such as Perry White from Superman, or modern live action adaptations which have a source material that includes visual media, like with Regis from the Witcher series.

Someone made a thread about the Witcher casting when it was announced earlier this year with visual comparisons from the game.

All the wrong people will champion this until it gets used against them. Or when shitlords use it to pick out Feds at rallys.

I actually had that one. It may have been the first EU novel I read which isn't great since it was set 8 years after ANH while Heir to the Empire happens almost right after RotJ, but it was still quite good from what I remember.

in the UK right now, with no disasters, no horrors except the existential one of living in London.

Or the PM or anyone else suggesting something might happen leading to that very thing happening as David Cameron did some years ago when he advised/warned/fucked up telling the public they might want to top up just in case.

Cue panic buying and stations running out of petrol for no fucking reason.

18/19, more or less the same age the twins were in ANH.

The prequels take place just under 2 decades before ANH. Anakin was 10 in TPM. AotC was about 6 years after that, RitS 2 years after that.
