I dunno. I think age might need to be considered with this one.

Just out of curiosity, can it be found one one of those archived internet sites like Wayback Machines?

No. Who. Friend of Louise Costello, I take it?

Vampire, not zombie. Sure he's undead, but the comparison stops there. Not ashamed to say I gave in, and found this intriguing recipe. Now curiosity demands I must experiment. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/harrys-roadhouse-blue-cornmeal-waffles-recipe-1943693

...man band:

It's early days, but I'm interested to see where this goes. There was a big rush (I was included) in 2019 when news broke that there was a fan-restored game, and it has slowly tapered over 4.5 years. With official recognition, however, this not only brings in a surge of players who either never tried the game or were waiting for that official nod, but it stands a chance of increasing the pool of volunteer devs to work on refining the game and create new material. I just wish this would start a trend. I'd love to see another NCSoft property, Tabula Rasa, come off the shelves and receive a second chance. I'd also like to see one or two other games not affiliated with NCSoft receive a similar revenant experience.

...singular sensation?

🎵He's got the whole world, in his hands... 🎶 Gently picking debris slab from a collapsed building to free people, standing alone on a bridge holding off an army...yeah, for certain Atlas is the game's version of Giant Man or Longshadow. And he might not be the only one. Talos' final battle created Talos Island, and one gets the impression he was a Paul Bunyan type with Babe the Ox horns. His statue is just as big, though admittedly that's not uncommon in the city.

Welcome Home!

I've been watching the YouTube videos put out by Flipswitch Games regarding their in-development game of War of the Worlds, and though clearly not ready for Alpha just yet, the work done to this point is amazing. Several of the videos terrified me just watching (of course, nudged along by the player acting rashly a few times). Night time sequences are particularly stressful. It's clear the game is taking many of its cues from the Tom Cruise film, though perhaps not all of them. Here is the latest demo. Note around 19:45 that there is also play-as-tripod mode: And here's the channel if you wish to view more: https://www.youtube.com/@waroftheworldsgame9026/videos

It's been half a year...what, if anything, ended up happening with SWTOR?

Oh absolutely. I've been very keen to see a multiverse movie where Tom Cruise takes the Tony Stark role, if only as a one-off. I've been intrigued by this ever since I'd heard Tom had been considered for the role. And lets be honest: if the Joker, Batman, and Superman can have a variety of actors good and bad in the roles, there's room for others to interpret Stark. That said, RDJ was perfect. I said it back in 2007 the moment I heard he was cast. It was like he'd spent 10 years of his previously self-destructive life prepping for the role. Few would understand the character better.

While not a firmly set rule of mine, I generally run Matthew Habashy's arc while waiting for the next available Death From Below, then try to run DFB to level 16, at least. This gives me all 4 of DFB's end bonuses. At that point I prefer to run Drowning In Blood, but as DIB is rare, I usually run the Positron TF instead, that usually gets me to 20 and the Penny Yin TF. I'll run the Synapse TF if I have time. Variations on this will have me running one of the two contacts from Matthew Habashy, then going over to King's Row and running the two Skulls storyline contact's missions.

I'd ship one to you if I could. There's a reason I call them "Awful House". It's become a running gag in my family. I dine eat consume things at one about every 5 years, and as I type, dread overwhelms me 'cause I just realized it's been about 5 years. 😬

It's been a while since we had a thread about what each of the characters sounds like in our heads. Might need to start a new one.

If you refer to speech, then no. Comic speech bubbles communicated the story, just like in the comics. Some cut scenes have sounds like explosions, as I recall.

Although DC is probably better known for its universe resets, Marvel has done its fair share of 'em and I've been wondering if one might be in the works for Phase 6. It would essentially grant a clean slate in both storytelling and cast, while building off the character name recognition that the current MCU brought to Marvel characters, as well as allowing for perhaps a smoother integration of the two big remaining properties (Fantastic 4, X-men) into the (rebooted) universe. Most talk I hear these days about WandaVision has to do with A) the unique style of the show, B) Photon, C) the upcoming Agatha Harkness project, D) what's happening with Vision going forward. As to Cap & the Winter Soldier, while overall I didn't like it, it did have its moments. For me those included the Falcon vs Batroc sky fight, Bucky's struggle to be normal (the "you're free" scene was particularly good), anything with Zemo, the shocking desecration of The Shield, and some of the Dora Milaje stuff.

Ha! I love it! Must start using. We've been saying the more cumbersome "we've traced the problem to between the keyboard and the chair", but this is so much better.

how do you pick things back up? Yeah, that pretty much describes what happened to my back over Christmas break. 😲 Gotta bend the legs first.

Polar opposite here. If there's a Starbucks, there's likely an Awful House within a 1/2 mile, often merely a couple hundred feet. And there's a lot of Starbucks.

I'd just seen something that mentioned Ford's appearance in the show was supposed to be herald of another Indy project (TV?) that never developed. Had it been, there was to have been a grandson. I suspect even that suggested element might be canon. Mutt could have sired a child, even if there was no movie mention of it.

I've got a mace/fire brute, and should point out that the /fire will have a designed weakness in knockback protection, different from all other brutes. You'll need to address that or you'll not be able to hold your ground. Once you figure it out though, /fire is pretty sweet. I've also got a rad/rad blaster and find him to be great fun. I just have to watch the aggro though, as I personally can get so wrapped up in nuking 'em 'til they glow, that I forget I can pull them off a tank's taunt at times. He's among my favorites, and I've not even really tried to maximize his enhancements yet.

Welcome, HOME! This is not a stagnant game, so be sure to read all the patch notes to catch up. We're currently using "Pages" instead of "Issues" for the releases. We have several powers now proliferated to other archetypes, some changes to costume components, and many goodies. One of the big changes is to travel. There's so many ways to zone travel these days, and the Homecoming team created an earn-able way to merge many of these under one "button" to conserve space. Be sure to look for notes on travel. I also recommend searching in General for threads regarding newcomers, beginners, or returnees like yourself. There's many helpful comments found in these.

No season 2, according to the star of the show. I've seen this on several similar sites now. However, the character will likely still appear in other MCU works. https://insidethemagic.net/2024/01/she-hulk-star-confirms-season-2-isnt-going-to-happen-nk1/
