Glass Ass: The OFFICIAL JGlass Thread

[justinsayne]

Rick Jones is A-Bomb, and Jim Wilson is his best friend, apparently.

Well, was his best friend, he was also a long time friend of Banner, & nephew of Falcon. He befriend Hulk & followed him around through much of the 70's. He first appeared in Incredible Hulk #131, but it wasn't revealed he had HIV until Incredible Hulk #388 (Dec. '91) & would go on to die of AIDS in Incredible Hulk #420 (Aug. '94).

Did predator make it in last year?? Let's make it happen, please.

 

[justinsayne]

I would just ask that you make the line between Human & Super more clear. If I remember correctly there was a bit of controversy last year with characters like Mega Man, Robocop, & Iron Man being in the human bracket.

If he didn't he just barely made the cut because he was definitely on Doc and my list of possible candidates.

We might do away with that altogether and just try to make things balanced in terms of power-level.

That would make posting more of a challenge for me. I was going to base the majority of my argument for Dolph on the ability to kill Carl Weathers.

Yeah, it looked like the Drell characters put some weird focus on melee which seems like a serious disadvantage considering how much of Mass Effect combat is about creating separation from you and your opponents and almost every class has a move designed to stun or knock down enemies.

You'd be surprised at just how many people roam the map looking for melee combat, some classes, it works brilliantly with, others can be quite suicidal. This Drell one was suicidal in my case, but that's because I didn't level up it's melee strength. Although I doubt it would have improved much looking the Drell's hit points. Saying that however, the Vorcha was excellent in melee despite a low amount of hit points.

I think I was, but just barely. Punk was actually one of my favorites when I started wrestling simply because his name was CM Punk and I like punk rock music. I still liked him once I found out more about him, but the initial attraction was the name. I vaguely remember having few people appreciate CM Punk back before he turned heel, though they didn't particularly dislike him either; he was mostly just a non-factor. After his first title run he attracted a lot of negativity, though, and people started calling him a paper champion, because repeating lines verbatim from JBL is super cool, and most people never thought he'd be anything more than that.

Lulz.

How wrong they were. It wasn't until his feud with Jeff Hardy that I realised just how good CM Punk is. Before then, I never thought much of him, sure there was potential, but most wrestlers that enter the WWE have potential otherwise they wouldn't be there. It just depended on if the WWE would go through with him or not, and by that I mean not book him horribly and keep him on TV. But, low and behold, bad booking was to await Punk much later in his career with the New Nexus. And it never held him back.

Spoiler

I don't think his mind would age, at least not in an organic sort of way, and probably not even by a synthetic standard. It's not like he becomes a Reaper himself, he becomes an intelligence like the Catalyst: nothing more than a sentient thought.

My concern would be that he uses the Reapers to meddle in the affairs of the other races. Maybe the Krogan really do start to conquer other worlds in a quest for both revenge and resources: would Shepard send in the Reapers to prevent the Krogan from taking Turian or Salarian worlds? I would hope that the Shepard I created would let the problems of the galaxy play themselves out, but I can't be sure.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Well, that's exactly what I mean. The thought has to alter for that type of situation. When either the organics or synthetics has to lose, who would it be? Or in this instance, the Krogans, Turians and Salarians. You'd just sit idly by and watch the Krogans conquer the galaxy? I know I wouldn't. I ask the question of age because we know that the Leviathans were still around from the construction of the Reapers to when the Reapers were in the war in ME3. So we know that they either age very, very, very slowly or that they're immortal. Hence, we know that the Catalyst ages similarly being derived from a Leviathan intelligence and all.

That's the philosophy I tried to approach the game with: let life find its own way. This is why I don't think the destroy ending is necessarily the best, because you're depriving "life" from the Geth, EDI, and any other AI lifeforms in the galaxy. They might not be alive like humans or Asari, but they can evolve, and I think that's one of the major points of the game: evolution is the driving force of life.

Spoiler

Yes, but you're also depriving life from the Reapers. Sacrificing all the AI in the galaxy seems like a worthy sacrifice if it means the Reapers can take part in that sacrifice. Because, if you want life to find it's way, you'd have to destroy the Reapers. They're actively disrupting this process and by controlling them you'd probably be forced to do the same at times as mentioned previously.

It pretty much goes without saying that none of these endings are perfect, but depending on your level of faith in Shepard and personal philosophies a strong case can be made for control being ideal. Destroy is still a perfectly reasonable choice as well, but I feel bad for the EDI, Joker, the Geth, and the Quarians whom the Geth were helping to adapt to their environment so they could stop wearing the environmental suits.

Spoiler

The Quarians would adapt to Rannoch again eventually, the Geth were just going to speed up the process. It's not that I don't have faith in Shepard, it's that I don't have faith in any Human, or any Turian, or any Asari etc. to have that much power and behave correctly the entire time. An eternity. That's not taking into consideration the aforementioned variables the could and probably would occur.

Synthesis still sucks, unless you want to be the Reapers' bitches for the rest of your life.

Spoiler

Well, control would also keep the Reapers around and would have to keep the galaxy in order through the use of force or fear eventually. Whereas in Synthesis, everything shares the same thoughts and that would lead to nothing but cooperation. But I agree that Synthesis sucks, stripping everybody of their identity and having the ultimate Marxist society is regrettable and could even be described as lifeless.

There's room for roaming? I always assumed that it was similar to a CoD or Halo game. How does multiplayer even work?

New Nexus wasn't without total redemption as it gave way to Jesus Punk, one of Punk's most epic incarnations.

Dude, you really didn't want to make this easy for me, did you?

Spoiler

Long story short: I don't think Shepard's moral compass would change as the Reaper's intelligence as the parameters of the Reaper's purposes would have changed. It is no longer their duty to keep balance between organic and synthetic life, it's their duty to protect all life at any cost. I don't think Shepard commands an army of Reapers as you would suggest so much as the Reapers fight for his ideals.

The idea of anyone having that much power is still pretty terrifying, but nobody really does because Shepard is no longer a person, he's just an idea.

And the major reason why synthesis sucks is because it takes everything special about living and stomps on its face. Culture? Who needs it when we're all pretty much the same. Evolution? We've reached the so-called pinnacle of genetics, so there's no need for that. Squeezing every ounce of emotion out of life before you die? Don't worry, we're working on conquering death itself.

New Nexus wasn't without total redemption as it gave way to Jesus Punk, one of Punk's most epic incarnations.

Which would be great if the SES didn't already do this exponentially better.

But yeah, Jesus Punk was the best Punk.

It took me nearly thirty seconds to realize you weren't talking about Firefly.

I always mark the first time he had the stigmata marks on his tape as when he fully embraced Jesus Punk. I saw those stigmatas and realized that CM Punk doesn't give any fucks. Not one. Making full blown allusions to Jesus takes nads, and CM Punk certainly is not short on those.

It took me nearly thirty seconds to realize you weren't talking about Firefly.

Sorry to waste your valuable time like that. I assume you'd strongly endorse watching Firefly, then?

 

[Coco]

Only if you can handle the pain of reaching the finish line and coming to terms with the fact that that's it.

Didn't he make a movie or something that was related to the show? I want to say it was called Serenity?

 

[Coco]

Yep. It was fine. Of course I'd have preferred it as two years of television rather than a two hour movie. But life's not perfect.

 

[justinsayne]

Didn't he make a movie or something that was related to the show? I want to say it was called Serenity?

Yes. I liked Firefly, though it would've been nice if Fox gave it more of chance. There were a few episodes that never got made that Joss turned into comics over at Dark Horse. I would love for him or his brother to launch Firefly/Serenity ongoing comic series with Dark Horse, just continue the adventures where the movie leaves off or something.

 

[Coco]

Just let it rest, man.

 

[justinsayne]

This makes me happy

I don't need an excuse to suck dick i just need to find one.

Glad to see you're still as desperate and classy as ever.

Being consistently awful isn't something to brag about.

There are plenty of people worse than me & you know it

I downloaded all the Dreamwave Transformer issues because I got tired of trying to search for them in shops. Then I got all the IDW issues. Some of the art style designs in the IDW comics can be hit and miss. Some character designs try to mix classic and movie versions & can be odd at times.

Being consistently awful isn't something to brag about.

Dolph Ziggler seems to think so.

 

[JGlass]

There are plenty of people worse than me & you know it

1) Don't tell me what I do and do not know, it's petty.
2) I haven't seen any of them lately.
C) You're still awful.

Ben Affleck might play Batman

[Dowdsy McDowds]

I thought the page was saying he's not attached and that the script that Beall came up with was horse-shit? In a manner of speaking.

I had to double check the date to make sure this wasn't an April Fools after looking at this article that came from the page of that SuperBen report.

I mean... really?

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I remember hearing that Ben might play Supes in Justice League movie but then that was garbage. Now there are reports saying the initial script for the JL was so bad they scrapped it, Warner Bros is counting on Man of Steel to be a hit or there might not even be a JL movie.
