  Friend or Foe?
Posted by: CattyNebulart - 05-23-2007, 12:07 PM - Forum: The Game Everyone Loves To Play - Replies (1)

Hmm, the song from this AMV: www.animemusicvideos.org/...hp?v=96464
has been stuck in my head for a bit now.
I was thinking as a potential power it could erase the knowledge weather the others in the area of effect are friend or foe. The trick is that it is always cenetere don Doug, so it's rarely usefull. Still if you have then need to reset the relations between a set of people this would be the song to do it. Now if only it could stretch to cover the entire middle east.
Here are the lyrics:
Is it too late
Nothing to salvage
You look away
Clear all the damage
The meaning to
All words of love
Has disappeared
We used to love one another
Give to each other
Lie under covers so,
Are you friend or foe
Love one another
Live for each other
So, are you friend or foe
Cause I used to know
The promises
Hollow concessions
And innocent show of affection
I touch your hand
A hologram
Are you still there
We used to love one another
Give to each other
Lie under covers so,
Are you friend or foe
Love one another
Live for each other
So, are you friend or foe
Cause I used to know
Is it too late
Nothing to salvage
You look away
Clear all the damage
The meaning to
All words of love
Has disappeared
We used to love one another
Give to each other
Lie under covers so,
Are you friend or foe
Love one another
Live for each other
So, are you friend or foe
Cause I used to know

  Baen is publishing this? Cool!

From the sampler page:
The Spider: Robot Titans of Gotham
Two complete novels in one volume of the adventures of the mysterious masked crime fighter known as The Spider, hunted by the underworld and the police alike. In one, the Spider battles an army of giant robots that has New York City under siegea storyline so fraught with action and peril, that the very creators of Superman had borrowed it for one of the Man of Steel's comic strip adventures. It also was the inspiration for the major motion picture, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. In the second novel, the spider battles a criminal mastermind who threatens the entire northeast with thousands of poison-fanged vampire bats unless his terms are met. Can even the Spider-hunted by the law as never before after faked evidence has branded him as the master of the killer bats-unmask the identity of the Vampire King before thousands die horribly?
Woo hoo!

  Superspeed Question
Posted by: Evil Midnight Lurker - 05-23-2007, 03:21 AM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (3)

As I understand it, due to server limitations, the absolute maximum speed in the game is around 80 MPH. And if I remember correctly, you can hit this without six-slotting Superspeed. But that's all I think I know here.
Might anyone know the most efficient means of slotting to achieve maximum velocity?
Thanks,
--Sam

  Movie Treatment

Yoinked from CoH chat... since this will certainly never be made into a movie, it sort of counts as a fanfic idea.
[The Legendary] Evil Midnight Lurker: Another movie I want: Flash.
[The Legendary] Evil Midnight Lurker: Even worked up a partial treatment.

  Panhandling
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 05-22-2007, 07:12 PM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (11)

Oh, yeah, right -- one other thing. Eva just made 37, and exhausted her nest egg of 2.1 million+ influence buying L40 SOs... but was unable to finish the job. Now back a while ago, when the influence-prestige tradeoff kicked in for Eva, I kept her in SG mode when folks promised to throw Infl her way. Well, the time has come for me to beg for that Infl... (Or some L37-L40 invented double-headed enhancements, now that I think of it -- anything that includes end reduction in it.)
Whatever happens, thanks.

  Manticore TF?
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 05-22-2007, 07:07 PM - Forum: The Legendary - Replies (32)

Would anyone be interested/available to work up a team for the Manticore TF on Virtue? I want to send Evangelia off on that one next, but I don't particularly feel like standing around next to him waiting to see if one forms, either spontaneously or from Eva's plaintive pleas to the ether.
On a related topic, is anyone going to be playing their L50 char(s) any time soon? I'm still hunting False Nemeses -- I'm about halfway to the badge for them -- but I haven't seen anyone I could ask to SK me for a while.

  Negima Dubs
Posted by: Bob Schroeck - 05-22-2007, 01:19 PM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (3)

So I just finally got my hands on disk one of the Funimation dub of Mahou Sensei Negima, and watched about an episode and a half last night (after which Peggy fell asleep). I was quite pleasantly surprised. I've heard all manner of complaints about Funimation, but based on what I saw, they've gone quite a good job here. The voice cast is all quite good -- they've got a few familiar names from ADV, such as Monica Rial and Luci Christian, who of course are always good, but the folks I don't know also turned in very good performances.
And my hat's off to the folks who wrote the dub script. Whoever they were, they appear to have enjoyed themselves while translating the spirit of much of the dialog without using the exact words -- the trash-talk between Ayaka and Asuna in the first episode, for instance, is nothing like I remember seeing in the fansubs, but works beautifully.
Of course, I'm basing all this praise on 45 minutes' watching -- I could get ambushed by a sudden drop of quality later in the series. But I was just so impressed with what I've seen already that I had to tell folks.

  Go Nagai's two famous characters and Doug.
Posted by: Disruptor - 05-22-2007, 03:20 AM - Forum: Future Steps - Replies (6)

I'm quite sure that Doug could get along with Honey Kisarigi(any of them), even though she tends to make smart-aleck comments during a fight. The fact that she has a Demon Lord(Panther Zora) coming after her would also add to it. Although that is not for Cutey Honey Flash or Re: Cutey Honey, just for the manga, original anime, and OVA versions.
The reason given in the manga was that Honey's soul is free of all evil(no original sin) and Zora wanted her because of it. No, I don't but it either. Especially since there WAS a person in another Go Nagai work who truly had an unblemished soul until he perforemd an insane ritual to save the world. Which brings us to him.
Now then, the one that would have Doug ripping out his hair in fustration. Heck even Paradox/Godboy would have headaches with this guy. Akira Fudo. Akira placed his eternal soul at risk during a Black Sabbath ritual and reversed the possion to take control of the Demon Lord Amon. Lord Xenon seems to have two morivations for targeting Akira. One is to kill him, for taking Amon down like that and th other is that Xenon wants to seduce Akira becuase he is who he is.(sort of like Tabris dealing with Shinji in Evangelion)
Is Devilman a Celestial or something else? In the Blackjack manga, alll the various Blackjacks merged into one person(Devilman) and then he proceeded to trash Hell
By the way Chris, how would Pardox deal with Devilman? The Holy and Infernal forces must have sat up and took note of that little stunt. It doesn't help that Ryo Asuka, did a falied stunt and merged with Satan himself. Akira is in control of Amon, or the two have merged perfectly. Ryo was slowly took over by Satan and Akira killed him. --------------------
