Apparently, these really are a limited-edition thing... and Right Stuf says they're already out of stock at the wholesale level. If you want one, get it now. (Right Stuf has a few, as of this posting; I don't know whether anyone else still does.)

Thought that came up... it's been established that a lot of how handwavium works is linked to the user. Well, what about AIs? Leaving aside philosophic questions about what it means to be sentient, can handwavium created AIs themselves use the stuff if so inclined?

I'm having weird issues with my account. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I'm trying to work with NCSoft to fix it, but as it stands right now, I wouldn't expect me on.--

looking at the With Liberty thread, I think we need a consensus judgement call on Haruhi's competence level - she's either incompetent or not, and we need to decide it out of story, IMO.
Personally, I could go either way, and I'm interested in hearing from my fellow FenniesWire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979Wire Geek - Burning the weak and trampling the dead since 1979

Anyone mind if I inject some of The Legendary into my creative slushpile?
It's about Katy Kaboom, her personal nemesis, a groundhog, a clear blue sky, and lots of other things. Katy is going to need some backup, and I *could* bring in J. Random Hero, or for that matter, some of my alts, but The Legendary would be a better fit. I don't want to step on toes, though.
Oh, and I'll point out that, while *my* characters may change, I'll make sure to stick to episode format for any of yours (ie, they'll be unchanged at the end, etc).
So, is there anyone who (a) doesn't mind me using their character in a story, and (b) has one that could use a little lovin'?
I've got a few ideas for specifics, but really, what I have in mind can be tailored around whoever...

Aqua song, good times. I'm sure it's come up before, but the thing that struck me about this song is the idea of, well... a kind of celebrity. Something about it always said 'the person you are observing is just amazing'.
My verdict? It generates a psychic field for the duration that makes everything Doug does look amazing to the observers. It doesn't actually change what he's doing or even what he looks like: it's more like everyone in the radius becomes incredibly easy to impress.
