Example :
Goliath : "Alright, since you like do it in public places, I dare you to admit of what is in your 'Public Places' file ?

Ah, finally, someone to talk to.
Coyote> If you ever missed four issues in a row, I'm amazed you had any idea what was going on at all. Of course, the real reason to read the series was for the arguments between Pansey and Violet:
Pistoff> Like I said, there's a trade off. I belong to the Church of Christ, so I never had to go to confession, or learn any Latin. (actually, I kind of wish I had learned Latin).
I suppose I'm really mostly a very cautious Agnostic. I don't know for sure that there's a God, but just in case there is, I don't want to make Him mad at me.
Discordians are fun people, though, aren't they. I liked Steve Jackson's take on them in Illumnati. The Discordians don't want to take over the world to rule it, or destroy it. They just want to maybe paint it a nice shade of pink or something...

Oyy, it was hot today!! My exhaustion didn't help me much ... stayed up last night when I discovered the time my local PBS station shows "Red Dwarf." This was my first experience with the show, for all those familiar with it ... somebody tell me if I picked up on a good ep or not (it was the one with two Rimmers).
Let's see ... oh yeah, collated my Gathering pics today ... all that's left is labeling 'em all to identify who's who, then I can send 'em to Arizona. (Not to worry, I got double prints. :)
David G: You too, huh? Imagine how bad it is if you miss four issues in a row! Though I have to say, the best S7 ish, for my money, was the "Tales of the Dead Earth" annual they did. Wish the reality had turned out that way ... I get the feeling Claremont could see that DC was getting ready to pull the plug, so he crammed his entire S7 story arc beginning to end into this one issue.
Mary: Good to see ya back. Wicca, eh? Hmm ... occasionally I think to myself I might take a look at Wiccan culture, to get some story ideas ... if that's the way your heart directs ya, more power to ye, lass. :)
Kaioto: Ohh man ... I hope things work out with your friend. The last thing anyone needs is for a friend to end their own life.

David G.: Actually, being an athiest is fairly easy for several reasons. Mainly because we're not afraid of going to hell if we screw up. And we don't have to bother with things like sitting in a booth and confessing our sins. I'm always willing to talk about my naughtiness to anybody who happens to be nearby, all people have to do is ask me a question and I'll answer it. :)
Still, there's something to be said for other religions/philosophies. Take Discordianism, for example. Here's one of my favorite quotes from the Principia Discordia: "Moral perfection isn't required for Discordian Sainthood. You just have to suffer a lot." :)
Ahh ... I'll be back later. All the coffee I've been drinking today is going through me like a bullet train. ;)

Hi folks. I feel compelled to make some sort of comment, mostly because there hasn't been one in about 5 hours, and I'm getting lonely.
Mary Flanders> It's good that you're trying to find a way to fill the spiritual void in your life. I've often wondered how Athiests stand the emptiness. (On the other hand, they don't have to deal with the constant feeling that vast cosmic forces are out to get them. I guess it's a trade off.) I'm not going to comment on your choice of religions, since this kind of forum isn't really the place for it, and it's none of my business anyway. (Well, I will say you could have done worse - the wicca I know are fairly nice people). I just have one thing to ask. Are you trying to find something that fulfills your own needs, or are you looking for the force you should devote your life to? The difference is important.
One motive is basically selfish, and tries to fill the void by taking. The other motive is selfless. It fills the void by eleminating it. Once you've really given your life to something beyond yourself, you find that the void has gone away without you trying to fill it. Otherwise, it's like a black hole that just gains in mass and strength as long as you feed it.
By the way, so that I don't come off as a self-rightious twit, I haven't really found the way to fill that void in my own life. I only know enough to know that no one person has the power to do it, and to know some of the ways that don't work.
I wish you well.

Wilek - you wrote: [Er...none of the games you listed are for the PC, I'm afraid, unless you can find emulated copies of them. Not that I know of, anyhow, although I could be mistaken. There is a version of Final Fantasy 7 for the PC though.]
Well that would explain the trouble I've been having with finding them. I did see the Final Fantasy 7 for PC but hedged at getting it because it was $30.00 and I don't get more money until Tuesday. Is the PC version as good? Anyone know of PC versions of the others? I think Diablo (which Warpmind recommended) is available on PC though so I'll see if the store has that. I'm really disappointed I can't play Lands of Lore I on my computer (with Patrick Stewart's voice).
Wilek wrote: [As for computer games...well, they're not RPG's, but I recommend Heretic 2, The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour, Myst, Riven, Dark Seed 2, The Journeyman Project 3, Starship Titanic, Phantasmagoria, Shivers 1 and 2, King's Quest 6, and The Blackstone Chronicles.]
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll see if I can find any of them anywhere. Have you tried Hexen II? The Egyptian-style backgrounds in the screen shots I found online looked interesting. I'd try some of the online demos I found but my stupid connection keeps getting hung until it times out. I guess we all know who's responsible for THAT.

Kiaoto>completely agree with you. I'm only interested in spiritual enlightenment and becoming more in touch with nature, not trying to zap someone with lightening or make an enemy's hair fall out, though that would be fairly impressive ;P. But I can't do that because magic doesn't work all the time (because Spirit might have other plans), and there's the Three-fold Law: anything you send out comes back times three. Plus I don't want to curse anyone just because they're being their rude or mean selves. The universe has it's way of payback. :)

SEVARIUS JR. - I wanted to pick up Battlechasers but dropped it after Joe Mad took six month's to come out with one issue. Six Months! It's one thing if he had gotten sick or some tragedy had happened, but it took him Six Months! on his own with no problems to come up with one issue. He just completely lost me after that. I'll still willing to pick up Battlechasers but only in collected editions or trade paperbacks.
(Cliffhanger is coming out with a new title by Joe Kelly and Chris whats-his-name, you know the original artist on Gen X. It's called Steampunk. The whole idea of it is that somehow technology gets out a little earlier in history and turns the world upside down. Now one person who has lost his arm and his heart to technology (They've been replaced by metal and by a furnace) must fight the evil conquerer who with a monopoly on technology rules the world. It sounds interesting and some preview art I've seen in Wizard looks good. But more importantly they are coming up with a realistic shipping schedule for it. It's something like 3 - 5 issues come out, and then there is a break for a month or two in which those issues are collected in a Trade Paperback, and then it comes back for another few month's for another story arc. I might pick it up when it comes out.)
Let me suggest three titles to you that you might enjoy. The first two are THE AUTHORITY and PLANETARY. Wonderful books. If you have time to look through the room, I wrote out a description of those two books somewhere down below.
The third title that you might enjoy is SPIDER-GIRL. It's much better than either of the main Spider-titles. It's set about 15 years in the future with May Parker, the daughter of Spider-Man as the lead. Every issue is self contained, meaning you can pick up any issue at random and get a complete story in one issue. It's a great book, much more worthy of purchase than any of the current Spider-Man books.

Wild Wild West> Not as terrible as I expected; with the exception of Branagh, it was a bunch of good actors trying to make the best they could with a badly written script. The gadgets stole the show.
Anyway, the Weird Al "Behind the Music" is on, and I have cleaning to do... have a great 4th of July, everybody!

I've updated my site with new roms, click to see it. I have an English version of the Final Fantasy 5 rom, quite possibly the best of the series. I encourage any visitors to sign my guestbook.
I leave for bible camp today, so this will be my last post until Saturday.

Blue- Yeah, I remember Phantom 2040 (and I've seen the Phantom movie, and trust me, don't bother)
I have become something of a Phantom fan, I thought the character has potential, but is limited by King Features Syndicate's unwillingness to develop the character in any way. If they would put up the money to start a comic book, get a decent creative team behind the project, and let them have a reasonable amount of licence with The Ghost Who Walks, they could have a real winner here...
Heck if they dropped the stupid striped shorts I might read it :)

*sighs and frowns, lays his head to one side, weary*
Ash: It is true. There are dark parts to every organized instituion, from bureaucracy to religion, from the IRS and IRA all the way to the Vatican and the Supreme court, everyone is vulnerable because they have an agenda, even if it is a good one. And religions have flaws, because they are filled with flawed people, just like you ... and just like me. We have a responsibility to judge actions, and motivations, but no right to judge other people as good or evil, though we sometimes find it inevitable.
Mary: Congratulations on finding something that brings you closer to the Maker. Just remember to be careful, as the meaning of the religion is not always interchangable with the rituals and prayers. It is supposed to be a way of life, not a song and dance. The wands etc. don't have to be a big priority, anymore than a Catholic Mass needs a Cathedral or special wafers for Eucharist.
Another thought: People talk about concrete magic *sigh* Special effects aren't magic, spiritual effects are. Look at a Catholic Rite of the Eucharist. The bread and whine are actually transformed from base elements to the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Does this mean it tastes any different? Are you eating a strip of flesh or drinking from a hemoglobin-ladened chalice? No. Is it still wholely the Body and Blood? Yes. Why? Because it's spiritual nature in realtion to others has been changed. Much in the same respect, don't be disappointed in Magick because it doesn't make it rain or blast thunder from the sky, or even let you know your cat is sneaking up on you from behind. Magic is in here. *points to the heart* It is part of every human being, our spark that makes us individuals, and compassionate, and creative. Look around and be witness to SO many everyday miracles we take for granted.
And as usual *Sigh* The truth bites back. There is no easier a way to get surrounded by darkness then to fight against it. *Sigh* But people are precious, they are an element unto themselves, Void ... without Void, the other elements have no soul and little use ... the 9th day after Solstice was the Day of Fire, the last, worst day of drought in my home, the tenth was a day of Water, when the drought broke and rain sang in the land, the eleventh was of air, when the gails carried power from one end of the shore to the other, and today was calm and solid, like the earth, and now is the dawning of the 13th day of Soltice, the day of Void ... a Churchday, and Holiday, and a day of celebration ... and I'm the only one I know in my entire community who's noticed ... does that make it any less an auspicious or mystical? No, because ~I~ see it, and I live it. Like all good things in life, they don't just happen, they are understood.
I just finished talking to a suicidal friend. A girl who's seen very little more than darkness in her life. She yearns for some sort of miracle or magic to happen TO her so badly, so badly she has forgotten that She is the one who is supposed to direct her life, that God, the Maker, the Universe, Gaea, the Force, or Magick is only suppose to be there to give you the strength of True Humanity. Prayer does not move mountains, it gives the power and inspiration to the engineres and laborers who move mountains.
It is you and I who must act of the hands and hearts of God, because that is the burden of free will, consequences and responsibilities. Bad things will happen to good people, because if Allah stopped it, it would ruin our entire identity as a people. Life is not a punishment, and no matter how bereft of physical signs you're life may be, the Goddess walks with you.
I As a dear longs for streams of water, so my soul longs for you, O God/ My being thirsts for God, the living God. When can I go and see the face of God?/ My tears have been my food day and night, as they ask daily, "Where is your God?"/ Those times I recall as I pour out my soul, when I went in procession with the crowd, I went with them to the house of God, Amid loud cries of thanksgiving with the multitude keeping festival./ Why are you downcast, my soul; why do you groan with me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God/
II My soul is downcast within me; therefor I will remember you from the land of the Jordan and Hermon, from the land of Mount Mizar./ Here deep calls to deep in the roar of your torrents. All your waves and breaks sweep over me./ At dawn may the Lord bestow faithful love that I may sing praise through the night, I praise the God of my life./ I say to God, "My rock, why do you forget me? Why must I go about mourning with the enemy oppressing me?"/ It shatters my bones, when my adversaries approach me. They say to me daily: "Where is your God?"/ Why are you downcast, my soul, why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God./
III Grant me justice, God; defend me from a faithless people; from the deceitful and unjust rescue me./ You, God, are my strength. Why then must you spurn me? Why must I go about mourning, with the enemy oppressing me?/ Send your light and fidelity, that they may be my guide and bring me to your holy mountain, to the place of your dwelling/ That I may come to the altar of God, to God, my joy, my delight. Then I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God/ Why are you downcast, my soul? Why do you groan within me? Wait for God, whom I shall praise again, my savior and my God.
-Psalm 43
Remember it is our capacity to Live beyond the conditions that should rob us of our very souls that are easy evidence that God walks with us. In the times that we are most abandoned and hurt in our lives, but we somehow manage to put one foot in front of the other, God is truly close at hand. He is not the one who makes the suffering, but the one who helps us to endure and overcome, our strength. It is in this captive's suffering and woe that he is touched by the Spirit, and given a purpose to endure, to give life to the psalm, which millennia later, gives life to others. Everyday miracles …
-For Elizabeth, for all of us.

Doug: I read part of your third fic tonight, but I've been sidetracked by several other things, none of them even remotely connected to writing. I'll finish reading it tomorrow, hopefully, and send my feedback then. Also, my new email seems to have gone down the tubes already--it won't let me log in, just as anti-social.com did. This is just wonderful. I tell everybody I have a new addy and they send stuff to it, and now I'm not able to read any of it. If it's not fixed soon, I'll be finding myself yet another one ...

Wicca is harmless I guess, but you have to realise that despite the claims of many of its practitioners it is not an ancient religion. It was made up in England in the last century. How do I know this? I'm a country boy of peasant stock, and all I have to do is look to my immigrant Grandparents. They have several superstitions and beleifs. Nature is a provider, but not a benevolent entity. Violence is a fact of life, and the pacifistic wind up ground into the mud. The supernatural is to be feared, not courted.
So the things Wiccans say about how their religion was subdued by the church is lies. They have nothing in common with the beleifs of the Celts, Germans or the Egyptians and Romans. To understand these people you first have to take away your comforts of technology, you have to try to pull your food from the earth and the wild, you have to face people that try to steal your belongings through violence. Do that, and then shift your religious beleifs accordingly. But... for city people in middle class homes who get food from a supermarket, Wiccanism can work for you.

Xanathar: Of course I liked the two first EOB games. I have yet to play a Westwood RPG that I dislike. And that was probably the reason EOB3 was such a fluke; Westwood pulled out, and SSI did the entire misdeed by themselves. By the way, anybody know if Westwood is givin' away the engine they used for those games, like id Software gave away the engine for Wolfenstein? (Love the engne, want to try to make a game with it).
David G: There's one small thing you forget: there should be a few nifty paradoxes in the Gargoyles vs. The Terminator story. How about the original Terminator idea, transferred to Gargoyles? It's the CHILD of Elisa Maza and Goliath who will be the troublemaker, not Elisa herself? Oh, well, don't mind me, I'm just hangin' around here.
Mary Flanders: Hey, you know any good, informative books about Wicca? As I'm living in Norway, most things we ever hear about Wicca is what winds up in the newspapers (like about the school where Wicca symbols etc. were banned... temporarily). I find Wicca interesting, based on the few things I have heard, some good, some bad, all pondered with a critical mind. Second-hand information I doubt slightly. Third- or fourth-hand rarely holds more than a grain of truth.
Well, gotta be going, gotta finish my breakfast, catch a shower, shave and then get to work at church, I have a service today ;) And no, I'm not a minister or a priest, just the humble... uh... I'm not sure abot the job title in English, but I think it's somewhere in the vicinity of "Altar boy".

**RP!**
[On the Avatar of Ganon...Administrator: "The CryoBan torpedoes are finished, and three droid-operated Missile Boats have been mdified to hold twice their normal capacity of fusion bombs for a suicide attack upon the World Devastator. Much of its integrated armament is geared toward repelling capitol ships, but its fighter complement is likely to destroy any small craft that come near it. Pilot droid brains are not creative flyers; these are likely to require an escort. Also of concern is the fact that the fighters can no longer accommodate the CryoBan torpedoes due to the modifications; another ship will have to carry them." Elsewhere on the bridge, Djedi overhears the conversation. Djedi: "Need a pilot?"]
**PAUSE RP!**
Comics> Perhaps it's time I admitted that I have basically one comic--the bound edition of Dark Empire. (I'm looking for Dark Empire II and Empire's End.)
Shogun Raptor> <<Piranha beetle larva, nice but can they sing cute boy teen pop songs?>> Err...I'll send them to SJ's genetics lab and see what he can do. :)
Doug> <<Well, if you want to tell me about the mythological villains you know of, feel free. I might get some ideas from them.>> Certainly. :) I don't know if they really count as villains because they're non-sentient, but I know of a Scylla and Charybdis that reside on either side of a strait somewhere in Greece (or Italy?). Scylla is a large spider, I think, and Charybdis is...well, no one's sure, but it's been described as essentially a large stomach. When a ship happens by, Charybdis sinks the ship by sucking in a lot of water, forming a whirlpool--and, if that doesn't work, expelling it in a great wave--and when the ship sinks, Charybdis and Scylla snack on the sailors. (I'm not sure how accurate that is, because in a stunning illustration of Murphy's Law, my mind blanked as soon as you accepted my offer. I wonder if I can hold Mr. Disconnect responsible. <goes to a search engine>) Let's see, who else...Ah, yes, in ancient Egyptian mythology Asmodai (Asmodeus) was an evil spirit who killed seven husbands of Sara (whoever she is) but was driven away into the uppermost part of Egypt by Tobias. Asmodai is also represented as the prince of demons who drove King Solomon from his kingdom. (Oh, and I found Avalon in an encyclopedia of Celtic mythology, on the same site that I got the information on Asmodai.) Gaulish mythology contains a death god named Dis, from whom the Gauls are descended. And, she probably shouldn't be classified as a villain, but I thought you'd be interested: in some mythologies, Guinevere--yes, Arthur's wife--was really a cloud-goddess named Gwynhwfar who, just to be a pain in the tail, took a mortal form for the express purpose of causing havoc. Kind of like Puck before he became Owen. Soon after Arthur became king of Camelot, she entered the womb of a Roman princess whose husband ruled in Britain, and was born, as a beautiful mortal. When the company of the Round Table was broken up and its heroes disappeared into legend, Guinevere resumed her identity as Gwynhwfar, returned to the sky and has ever since been planning her next earthly manifestation. Irish mythology contains a god named Oenghus, the god of fatal love. Sounds pretty evil to me. >:) Sousson-Pannan is an evil spirit from voodoo mythology who is covered in sores and drinks spirits and blood. Ew. $<<Oh, by the way, the attack on the Devestator by drone fighter will just shut down its engine and blow a hole in the side, right? I kinda wanted to have the Ravens break in and engage Guod in a climactic fight in the thing's control room.>> Hmm...actually, I'd planned for it to destroy the Devastator if it had succeeded, but it would have failed because of the TechnoNuke. But your plan would be even better. :) $ <<I prefer tough stand-on-their-own female fighter heroines like Jessica to heroines who fight with you for a while and then become damsels in distress>> You would have liked Super Mario RPG then. It's exactly the opposite of what you cited--Princess Toadstool starts out as the cliched damsel in distress, but at some point your characters rescue her and return her to her castle...whereupon she escapes to join your party. :)
Warpmind> <<Tom Orrowman? Well, basically, he's the guy that postpones anything you NEED done today until tomorrow.>> Ah. Hm, I kinda thought Mr. Disconnect and Elsewhere Man took care of that; apparently I was wrong. Heh...he'd better not come anywhere near me. >:)
Robby> Space Usagi? I think I have a figure of him as well...<<Nokkar is involved with the MIB, of course!>> Eh? I was unaware their jurisdiction extended outside of the United States. I guess I was wrong about that too...
Jenniren> Er...none of the games you listed are for the PC, I'm afraid, unless you can find emulated copies of them. Not that I know of, anyhow, although I could be mistaken. There is a version of Final Fantasy 7 for the PC though. As for computer games...well, they're not RPG's, but I recommend Heretic 2, The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour, Myst, Riven, Dark Seed 2, The Journeyman Project 3, Starship Titanic, Phantasmagoria, Shivers 1 and 2, King's Quest 6, and The Blackstone Chronicles.
Argent> $<<What sort of medical facilities do we have/ are available to us?>> The Avatar Of Ganon's facilities are among the best in the galaxy. There are of course bacta tanks--an immune and repair stimulant, compatible with most organisms, that has a similar effect upon most life-forms that stone sleep has upon gargoyles--as well as competent medical staff and the latest model surgical droids. And if all else fails, the Borg could probably do something.$ Bats with six foot wingspans? WOW. I wonder where that species is from. <<Oooo, could someone post a link for that? Please?>> Er...it's impossible to link to stories in the GFW archive (as far as I know). The archive is back up, though (fanfic.gargoyles-fans.org if you're wondering), so you can probably find it under New Stories.
Taleweaver> <<Who knows maybe in another thousand or two years, the gargoyle species might settle on one type over the others.>> Ew, then gargs will all look the same? There's a distasteful thought.
SJ> Glad you didn't have to leave. :) $<<if someone could just tell me what exactly is going on now....I think I'm fighting Borgs or something...>> We're all fighting a Borg/Phalanx World Devastator (a factory ship that consumes the surfaces of planets) that's drilling into the Earth's core in order to assimilate it. I think.$ <<the same audience that Power Rangers now (or did...isn't that show's fifteen minutes up?) appeals to.>> For some reason, I have a feeling that Power Rangers is in its last days. I mean, not even the mecha are cool anymore.
**RESUME RP!**
[Toliana: "I hope I heard you wrong. Did you just volunteer us for a suicide mission?" Administrator: "No, he did not. Only the Missile Boats will be destroyed, if all goes well. Your task will be to protect them until they reach the World Devastator, then fire the CryoBan torpedoes into the mouth of its ion furnace." Toliana: "You're going to trust a Borg, Djedi? You do realize that a Devastator's tractor beams are powerful enough to haul in capitol ships?" Djedi: "We can destroy the beam emitters." Administrator: "Or better--I will send a squadron of TIE Defenders to destroy them first. Then you escort the Missile Boats and fire the torpedoes." Djedi: "Sounds like a plan." Toliana: "Alright. But make absolutely sure you get all the emitters. Even the Ice Dagger couldn't break out of that." Administrator: "Of course. We have little time; I will have my collective load the torpedoes on your vessel. Now go."]

*walks in*
Evenin' all. :) It's been about two weeks since I last posted in here (though I have read a little of what people have been saying). I have been doing much soul searching these past two weeks and have found my atheism, which I have followed all my life, to not satisfy my growing spiritual needs. In the past I have ventured into the occult and found things that seemed to touch my soul and tell me, "This is what you have been looking for, you just never knew it!". I decided to follow my heart into the mystery of Wicca. I have been gathering information on it and have been reading as much basic stuff as I can.
You may be wondering how my family is taking it. Well, I told them and they are completely fine with it (though my sister thinks I'm in a cult by myself and being more strange then usual). My immediate family and my father's family are atheist but are open minded to my beliefs. My mother and father though have a hard time with the idea of buying alter equipment (ie, athame, chalice, wand, etc.) though they said they will get me music, jewlery, small things, ect. I'll have to save my money for the alter stuff. I don't believe that this will make school for me more difficult with discrimination. Everyone at my school knows an occult shop in downtown Davis called "Aquarius" and love the mystrey it brings and know the difference between Wicca and Satanism (the only form of Devil-worship in Davis is that of the high school mascot, the Blue Devil. :) DEVIL POWER!!!) I guess I'm a very lucky person to have such an understanding family and a good school.
Oh yeah, another reason why I havn't posted here is because I have summer school. Modern U.S. History (for 4 hours!). Blech!

I'M STILL HERE!!!
Whew! Managed to weasel out of leaving for the fourth! Ah well, didn't want to go anyway. Tomorrow though, I'll get to spend the day with my sis. It's been a while since I got to hang with her, so we should be able to spend some "bonding" time. Maybe we can go check out the fireworks in D.C.
So, this means I'm back in the RP! Um...if someone could just tell me what exactly is going on now....I think I'm fighting Borgs or something...
Comics!!! I love 'em too. My usual monthly collection consists of:
Battlechasers, Crimson, Danger Girl (if and when these three come out), Daredevil (Kevin Smith, of course :), Black Panther, The Crow (cool new Image title), Mutant X, Gambit, Earth X, and Amazing Spider-Man (yeah, I know, that title's not that great, but I was raised on Spidey!). When I have a little extra cash, I may throw it on stuff like League of Extraordinary Gentleman, or Aria, or Preacher.
I too plan to begin collecting "Rising Stars", written by J.Michael Strazynski (creator of Bab 5) when it comes out starting this month. I've seen some early designs for the book, and it just looks awesome.
I enjoy limited run comics as well, but unfortunately, most comics I enjoy don't start out that way. I was a big Creeper fan, and I also enjoyed titles like Slingers, but those books have been canceled...thus, turning them into limited-runs.
TMNT Cartoon: I kind of liked it. Sure, it was no Gargoyles, and even the TMNT comic was light-years better, but I thought there were some nice elements to it, even though it was aimed for a very young audience...the same audience that Power Rangers now (or did...isn't that show's fifteen minutes up?) appeals to. I too remember the Usagi Yojimbo episodes, and I even think I have the figure buried somewhere deep in my attic. Like I said--nothing cuter than a samurai rabbit!
Paul: Was it really necessary to be such an @$$hole in your comments to JackaL? Jesus Christ, why can't you be like everyone else in the room: if you don't like something JackaL says, ignore it. Don't patronize him, he gets enought of that crap from others.

Very slow room today. That's OK. It clears tomorrow evening (assuming there's not a break due to the holiday) And there will be a new story. Better yet, I don't have to work Monday, so I won't be screwing myself when I stay up till midnight reading it.
Here's a couple of comments before bed:
Argent> the poem IS a song. That was a plug for my next Freelance story, which might be finished as early as monday afternoon.
(that was another one. I'm so sneaky)
Coyote> Thanks for your sympathy. I'm pretty much OK now. Sometimes the weight of the stuff I put up with just gets heavier than usual. What makes it worse is that I'm smart enough to realize I'm the caues of most of my problems, but stubborn enough not to change.
S7 did get pretty convoluted. I always had the feeling that for every issue we got to read, there were three that the writers were hiding to be annoying.
Creativity Demons> below are a few interesting crossover ideas. I don't usually do crossover stories, so, fanfic writers, steal at will. Just tell me about it so I can read your stories.
Gargoyles vs. Terminator. (Skynet's calculations indicated that only one person could stop it, Elisa Maza... To insure its domination, the computer sent back the ultimate assassin...)
Gargoyles vs. Predator. If someone hasn't done this one then I'll be really surprised.
Gargoyles and Neil Gaiman's Sandman> The only reason to do this one is the possible titles - "Sleeping Like a Stone" and "Concrete Dreams."

I like birds as much as the next person but... I HATE EGRETS!!!! Last year our city of Carrollton was fined $700 for destoying a hundred egret nests by bulldozing a park forest. Cause of this little incident, we were forbidden to shoot fireworks in our city this year *supposedly* since the noise and lights would "disturb" them! Screw this city! I went to a neighboring town's fireworks, but it didn't nearly compare! AAAAAHHHH!!! Now that's off my chest... don't worry, be happy. Yeah... right! And monkeys might fly outta my butt!

**enters the room, sweating profusely and smelling like gunpowder, changing out the candle. He doesn't light it yet, though.**
Wait for it ...
**an ash flies over his head, landing on the candle's wick perfectly and lighting it.**
There we go. Yes, there *is* a fireworks display going on in my little neck of the woods this evening, so I thought I'd give the ashes something to do. :)
Anyway, just got done sorting through my Gathering pics (Got 'em back today! WOO HOO!! Now I owe my mom $40!!!) Anyway, they turned out nicely ... if you excuse the shot of Demona May with Thom Adcox Hernandez that got obliterated by my clumsy fingers and the one I took at the airport while trying to use up the roll ... a picture I took of myself. I had no idea how it looked until I saw it today ... let's just say the look on my face says "OHH, I drank *way* too much beer!!" ;)
David G: I used to collect "Sovereign Seven" (later shortened to "S7") myself, then lost all interest in it ... I think it was shortly after Cascade returned to the team. What didn't help was that I couldn't pick up the issues on as regular a basis as I'd liked ... the second-to-last issue I picked up, I was thoroughly lost: suddenly Rampart was dead and Power Girl was a member of the team. I picked up the last issue just for the hell of it, but I'd lost it a while ago.
Also, re: your state of mind ... please, ifn's ya feel the need to vent, feel free to e-mail me.
Superheroes: Look at the ones I created for my cybercomic ... the reason why low-power level characters are so much more interesting is because they're much more complex. Not every superhero should be a god ... there is fun to be had by limitations and costs of powers: (samples I created: one character has a near-flight jumping power, the price of which being an artificially multiplied personality; the powerhouse who can't gain anonymity because he's bright purple as a result of his power gain)
Doug: You're quite welcome. :)
Robby: The overly-endowed character would be Brandy, the female lead of "Liberty Meadows." Frank Cho himself has said he's received editorial grief from his syndicate because of Brandy's bustline, but they still support his decision to endow her so voluptuously. (Of course, for those who *really* get into pinup girls, Cho also sells an art portfolio through the company who produces the LM collections titled "Cheesecake and Critters." From what I understand this collection includes two full-color nudes of Brandy.)
Sylvia: **staggers a bit under the weight of Backstreet Boys-inspired creativity spawn** Ohh boy ... I'm certainly glad I've grown a tolerance of the BB's (due to my mother's seeming regression to her teenage years ... she's also crazy for Ricky Martin). :)
Limited-run comics becoming favorites: I think I'm an expert in this field, too ... two books I collected from first issue to last of (if you ask me) **horrbly** too short runs were "Freak Force" (another fine book by Erik Larsen) and "Freex" (an Ultraverse title ... the only one I collected because the characters were so well developed and so damn *flawed* you couldn't help but like them!).
Slow room: Don't ask me, I just post here. :)

Evolution> Just doing my part to sow confusion and disorder. Evolution isn't necessarily a one-way street. Many creatures develop similar traits for the same ecological niche. Flying squirrels and flying dragons (the lizard not the real thing)have flaps of skin between their appendages for the same purpose, to glide from tree to tree. Doubtful someone would say they are directly related because of that trait, or that either are related to Lex because he has the same wing type. Nature test with what is used to find what is needed.
Though the variety of gargoyle physical types hold with a pet theory of mine, that species go through evolutionary spurts. A period when there are widely varient species in order to find a dominant type. I believe this happened just before Homo Erectus and Homo Sapien came on the scene. There were a wide variety of anthropoids before it settled on what would become human beings. Who knows maybe in another thousand or two years, the gargoyle species might settle on one type over the others. *Fun to speculate isn't it*
But Overall, where the gargoyles comes from is of less importance as to where they are going. Just one dragons opinon.

Well, this is possibly my last post for a week, but knowing me, I'll manage another one in the morning or later tonight...
Argent- Beast Wars, and Mainframe studios in particular, uses a Canadian voice studio, (The same one that used to do Dragonball Z even) and as such, Jeff Bennet does not do any voices on Beast Wars. However, Beast Wars DOES have the incredibly talented Scott McNeil, who does the voices of Dinobot, Ratrap, Waspinator, and Tigertron. (He also did the voice of Piccolo in DBZ,) So the scenes where Ratrap and Dinobot got into arguments are really fun once you know this, because it was one guy arguing with himself...
Lexy- I think that between the text color, the pic, and the ramble on THom Adcox we all knew it was you even without the name.
As I said before, slow day... Hmm.

Ghaelon: Yes, I did, assuming that you posted it under the name of Hudson around 18 months ago in S8. :) As I remember, I commented on it then. I believe I came across a heap of saved comments I'd written on Word from around that time... *shrugs*
Airwalker: Well, as Gargoyles/Pendragon past tales for Macbeth could carry a relevance to both series, so that wouldn't be too bad. Apart from that, putting both series together makes it nigh on impossible for flashbacks to be featured highly. Maybe the staff think that with Timedancer, the need for flashbacks is downplayed. I think they're mistaken if this is the case.

Since there's some discussion about comics and cartoons here, I was wondering if anyone here ever watched the syndicated animated series "Phantom: 2040" from the mid-90's. It was basically a future version of the "Phantom," a popular comic series. (There was a "Phantom" movie a few years ago starring Billy Zane, but I haven't seen it.) I really liked it, even though I didn't get to see very many episodes. I've searched for websites about it, but I've only found one or two that actually had pages dedicated to "Phantom: 2040" and not just the original "Phantom" series. Anybody know anything about it?
Heheh, I still think "Maron Yavan" sounds quite Star Wars-ish. :-)

My Star Wars name is Colel Rymar. Sounds like one of the X-wing pilots in the book series.
We got that new Weird Al CD. Did anyone else notice in that 'Polka Power' song that the 'MMMbop' and 'Backstreet's Back' parodies sound exactly the same as their original pop versions?
STORMY & GYRE> Probably won't see this, but bye!

DAVID G> Thanks for the info on copyrighting! And I really enjoyed that poem. Actually seems more like a song then a poem.
WILEK or any other RPers who might know this> $What sort of medical facilities do we have/ are available to us?$
Story originality> I heard a quote somewhere about in the entire world, there are only about four basic storylines, and Shakespeare's used all of them.
Gargs: The Lion King> Oooo, could someone post a link for that? Please?
1st 10 eps. Pendragon> Before reading those, I knew about zip concerning King Arthur and Camelot, and actually enjoyed all the flashbacks.
The Goliath Chronicles> Saw them for the first (and probably last) time last night. Ugh, it was boring and predictable. The whole time I was comparing it to Gargoyles, and it fell pathetically short. I don't know what's worse, that we don't get Toon Disney, or they choose to show TGC on the sneak peeks instead of the original.
Gargoyles Evolution> (Of course it's a cartoon show, that's what makes this debate fun!) It would make sense if gargoyles and birds shared an ancestor down the line. Check out all the different colors birds come in!
- Some types of gargoyles appear closer to dinosaurs then others. Example: Web-winged gargs (Lex) resemble Pteradactoyls, in the fact that their 'arms' are attatched to the wings, not separate. Maybe the gargoyles with separate wings evolved from the web-winged gargs.
- Someone (Something) 'creating' the gargs: Look at all the weird stuff we have on this planet in real life: Toads that shoot blood out of their eye, cicadas that live under the ground for seventeen years, multi-legged squid that squirt ink and can take on sperm whales, bats with wingspans of six feet, etc. I don't think Mother Nature would need the help or the imagination of an outside force.
Comics> I only read the ones in the newpaper. Foxtrot and Calvin and Hobbes are (were, in C&H's case) my favs.
Random Question> Does Jeff Bennet voice a character on Beast Wars?

Comic Books> I love comic books. My favorites are:
Spider-man (though I haven't bought any since the end of Norman Osborn's return)
Conan the Barbarian> I don't buy the new stuff that Marvel passes out, but I am gobbling up back issues of Savage Sword of Conan. Conan is meant to be inked in black and white.
I also like reading:
Knights of the Dinner Table, Gambit and Slingers. However, I most prefer comics with limited runs, as the storylines are more cohesive and don't fizzle out, get forgotten, or are corrupted by if new guy takes over like many do in the mainstream comics. I was bitterly dissapointed with Operation Zero Tolerance, because I thought that the Prime Sentinels were awesome. I also liked the fact that they would become a "true" outlaw group and live off nothing but their wits and their abilities. But, Scott Lobdell was shuffled out, and a new guy shuffled in, and he restored the old boring status quo.

I'm in the middle of writing my second Freelance story, and I kind of backed myself into the corner of having to write a song. The musician is a completely fictional person named Glorianna, who, for reasons that should be readily apparent, is on the Quarrymen's hit list.
This is the first poem I've written since high school, and I'll probably edit it a little before the final draft, but I thought you guys might like to see it.
We came together when the pale moon brightly shone
And I had come to tell you that my love you'd fairly won
I betrayed you
How my words must have hurt you, I was wrong, If I had known
Like poison from a viper, I turned your heart to stone
Watch me as I sleep
Hold me while I'm dreaming
I'll wait all through the day
All while my heart is screaming
Watch me as I sleep
Though we must be apart
My soul is right beside you
You'll always have my heart
I never meant to hurt you, my bright and shining knight
You were my shield, my champion, defender of my right
Please forgive me
My heart was young and changing, and I was led astray
Our love I poisoned and accursed, when I sent you away
Watch me as I sleep
Hold me while I'm dreaming
I'll wait all through the day
All while my heart is screaming
Watch me as I sleep
Though we must be apart
My soul is right beside you
You'll always have my heart
The sun turns you back, my warrior of the night
My love, the silver moon and stars, your only shining light
And you love me
They tell me you're a monster, and you only mean me harm
So why do I feel such peace when I'm wrapped in your arms
Watch me as I sleep
Hold me while I'm dreaming
I'll wait all through the day
All while my heart is screaming
Watch me as I sleep
Though we must be apart
My soul is right beside you
You'll always have my heart

2: FF7, or, if you rather, Final Fantasy 7. Biiiiig.
3: Phantasy Star 4 (Dunno if there's a PC version, other than the emulated Sega thingie... but the game itself is dang fun.)
4: Eye of the Beholder 1&2. There's a third, but frankly, it's a turd. (Ugh, that rhymed.)
5: LOL 1. Full title: Lands Of Lore: The Throne of Chaos. Marvellous plot, great voice acting with... uh... with... uh... Captain Picard. whatever his real name is.
Check out these titles, and thank me later, if the need is present.

I think Oberon has "gathered" all the full fey back to Avalon, except for Puck/Owen and those like Anubis. But there could be "natural" halflings living among us. Some may not even be aware of their heritage. Fox wasn't.
Shogun Raptor also wrote: [why Didn't Xanatos use some of his influence to make sure Goliath got a decent public defender?]
I think this was because Goliath refused to use "special privileges" or "tricks" to aid his case. Misplaced sense of honor or something. But it's been a while since I watched the ep and I have no desire to review it to check myself. Such a stupid ep. :Þ
David G. - Hey I used to read "Poison Elves" myself. :) For a while I thought it was funny. Then it got so repetitive. Then I decided to keep my money. Now I read "Books of Magic" and "The Dreaming" and sometimes also books like "The Avengers" or whatever looks good.
Since some of you in here know a lot about video games I thought I'd ask advice. I just got a new computer - not in the same class as Doug and Kitania's, but it's an Intel II 400 and has a good video card so
I'll be able to try video games now. So what should I start with? I've never had an opportunity to play them before (my brother won't let me touch his computer). From reading this CR I have the following list:
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 2
Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete
Are there any others I should look at? Which should I start with?

But if you start acting like a dog and even try to lick me I will treat you like a bad dog, nevermind possibly blast you in the face with an Ultimate Break. For now, fetch the bone, please. <Me throws a bone with explosive charges to the other side of the Comment Room.>
Heh. I'd think that response was appropriate. It wasn't meant to be offensive, though, so if anyone feels offended, I will apologize.
Doug and Kitainia-FINAL FANTASY VI had a fine Ending. As for Celes not kissing Locke, remember the line about "lover-starved twit". Although that was a mistaken comment, she is not the type of person to act like that. That would go very, very severely against her character.
As for XENOGEARS, yes, I do have more comments, but I'm too busy with BREATH OF FIRE: MYRIA'S LEGACY right now. Okay, I'll give them. Elly willingly sacrificed herself for her friends. The Game even avoided possible cliches of that tpye of sacrifice by having her wonder about whether she was selfish or not. The whole time she was withe Deus she was trying to heal Krelian's heart. She was not a damsel in distress, yeesh. She stood on her own and much more, nevermind almost had to give her life, again, this time for the planet.
As for the Review, I wasn't sure whether Tuesday's post was Commentary or a Review. Now I see it was. Thank you for clearing that one up. Although Kitainia has yet to Review the Game to that extent.
So I asked her, too.
Back to Endings, XENOGEARS is still the best Game, but I'm not sure which has the best Ending. I severely hope you don't think XENOGEARS' Ending was incomplete, it resolved everything that needed to be resolved because the rest had been resolved in the Game.

ITS STORY TIME!
A brief history on Usagi Yojimbo...
In the 80's, there was an independant black and white comic book called Ninja Turtles, and it was pretty dang popular. It even had its own animated series. (You've probably heard of it before...) There was also an independant book by Stan Saki called Usagi Yojimbo that was pretty popular, but wasn't getting much advertisment due to being an independant. Well, Eastman and Laird (The turtle guys) liked the character, and Stan Saki liked the Turtles. (Trust me, the comics were zillions of times better than the cartoon.) So, Eastman and Laird asked Stan Saki to do a story for them, so in a 8 page backup story, Stan Saki did a bonus little thing called Space Usagi, which had no relation to the Turtles whatsoever. Eastman and Laird liked, Stan Saki liked, and so Eastman and Laird (ANd their company Mirage studios) began publishing Usagi Yojimbo on a monthly basis. which was great for all parties involved. Now, since Usagi was under the Mirage imprint, and the lousy cartoon and action figures were licensing and using everything under the Mirage imprint, Usagi eventually got stuck in the lousy cartoon for two episodes. Stan Saki didn't mind, it was free publicity and Usagi was actually animated and had his own action figure, but that doesn't change the fact that well... The cartoon Ninja Turtles version of Usagi sucked. (But then these are the same brilliant folks who took the TCRI aliens and made them into Krang and created Bebop and Rocksteady... Ick.)
And that is basically the story of why Usagi Yojimbo was in Ninja Turtles. There is also a story about how Dave Sim's Cerebrus the Ardvark was in Ninja Turtles number 8...
And now a brief story about Punisher!
Marvel did not revamp the character to make him politically correct. They revamped the character because he was not selling. He almost never made the top 100, and had gone without a title for a while. (Though Punisher meets Archie was rather fun...) Now, after a serious revamp, a new artist/writer and basically, a totally different character WHO NOW HAS SIMILARITIES TO A VERY HOT PROPERTY CALLED SPAWN, Punisher hits the charts often enough n, so Marvel will stick with it.
And now a story about Liberty Meadows- They briefly used to publish that strip here, and apparently someone complained about one of the characters being... Overly endowed and the strip got pulled here. Clearly, the person or people who complained had never seen a certain strip called Blondie before.
Lexy- Ah, you were cuter than your sister. Even if you didn't catch on to the fact that my Lonny nametag was a joke...
Shogun Raptor- Ah, that cut scene explains everything! Almost... Nokkar is involved with the MIB, of course!
Wilek- Jonny Bravo is not a subject for Mr. Thingy. his old cartoons were funny and great! Its just the first new episode in a long while... Kinda sucked.
Pistoff- DOn't worry about it. I think we all knew who you meant to address, I was just joshin' with ya. (Joshin? Oh man, talk about outdated slang...)
Warpmind- Tom Orrowman... Oh geez, I can't believe I didn't see the pun before! Good one! Up in the ranks of Jim Iza Noying and Kari Kanbea Pest...
