Do the Avalon gargoyles ever DO anything? Does Avalon ever send any of them out on quests? I would think hanging around Oberon's palace all their lives would get pretty boring and some of them might volunteer to go out on quests for Oberon or Titania.
Coyote - I'm glad to hear your Grandmother is so much better. I hope she continues to improve after she gets home.

**enters the room, switching out the candles**
Okay, just got back from "Blair Witch Project." I liked the movie, and didn't experience any motion sickness, thankfully (I guess I've got my sea butt to go along with my sea legs. ;). My mother, on the other hand ... first words out of her mouth at the end was "Well, that was a piece of $#!t." **sigh** Ah well, different tastes to different people. I could actually relate to the movie, having lost all my bearings in a forest for a while.
Hmm, not much to reply to tonight ...
Doug: I might give the Garg/Zorro one a try ... maybe someone's telling a bedtime story in my universe and uses Zorro and a gargoyle to do it. :)
Pistoff: **scans over Jack Hammer's hearse specs** Hmm ... **pulls out pen and paper, scrawls something, hands it to Pissy** You ever considered entering an auto design contest? Click my name link to go to Motor Trend's site, they do a design contest every year and I'd love to see you enter that Escalade-From-Hell in it. ;)
Hmm again ... Cadillac hasn't made a V-16 since the '40s ... the 9-speed is kind of like a semi tranny (I'm assuming stick) ... you'd have to have at least something along the lines of a Suburban drivetrain to handle the 4WD ... the lift kit's going to require at *least* 22-inch tires, maybe on 18-inch offroad wheels ...
What you've basically been able to do there is create in Jack's car a pastiche of just about every major trend in American automotive history. Congrats. ;)
(One last thing, mostly aesthetic ... this hearse *does* have landau bars, right? ;)
Todd: Great analysis of the similarity between Goliath and Frankenstein's monster.
Robby: IG takes place in '57? Okay then, the only automobiles they've shown in the ads are accurate, at least (the Giant must have a taste for '55 Cadillacs, though one must wonder how so many '55 Caddies can be junkers by '57, unless there's been one too many people acting out the old "Beep Beep" song ... y'know, getting chased by a Nash Rambler? "I'll show 'im that a Cadillac is *not a car to scorn!*" I love that song! But I digress ...)
Oh goody, Mom's talking to Grandma. She's well enough to make phone calls. And I'm about to talk to her ... I think ... yeah!!!!
She's sounding weak, sure, but at least she's coherent. She should be getting released tomorrow. OH JOY!!!! **rushes around and hugs everyone before jumping back into the big chair, sighing and gazing at the candles once more**

Robby> Dang it you beat me to the review, but I agree totally with the review and encourage every one to see The Iron Giant heck after seeing the movie now I have to read the book!
Spoiler warning
Robby did you have a problem with the Giant hinting the missile and a nuclear explosion happing! Sorry smashing into a nuke dose not cause it to detonate; it is a timed explosion but it could have been of the giants weapons I suppose.
Oh heck gotta go

**REVIEW AND POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR IRON GIANT**
Just got back from an early sneak peak viewing of Iron Giant... And I gotta say... Excellent movie. No pointless songs numbers, no stupid sidekicks thrown in there for comedy, an animation style reminiscant of what Disney did 20 years ago... A historically acurate depiction of 1957 right down to the comic book covers and background music (Coyote will have to check for accuracy on the vehicles though)... A giant robot ripped off of Gigantor... Comic book references... A true story, plot, and characterization with several great and memorable characters... And a red haired detective who tended to remind one of Matt Bluestone early in the movie... Excellent movie. It beats out Tarzan even. Tarzan may have had romance and superior animation, but this movie had more heart. If it has any flaw its that the film is about thirty seconds too long and the final scene should have been left out. Otherwise, excellent job Warner Brothers. Thumbs up the whole way. I'm getting this on video in 7 months. (Or whenever it comes out...)
**END REVIEWS AND SPOILERS AND YADDA YADDA YADDA.**
The Pokemon movie hits theaters September 12 or 15th or somewhere thereabouts. Spiffy.
Lawrence Stone- I honestly don't have an answer for ya. It'll need to wait for someone who wrote the story for a proper answer I think...
Entity- We're both procrastinators it seems... AH well, I don't mind too much, 1984 is turning out to be pretty good in the second act, but I'd still rather spend my summer time writing or drawing... Brave New World remains to be seen though.
And you want to talk about book to movie debacharies... Frankenstein's got nothing on Dracula...
That seems to be about it for now, I'll post again when I wipe the room!

FRANKENSTEIN - Since Entity brought it up here, I might add that I've sometimes thought over how the monster as portrayed by Mary Shelley in the book does bear a certain similarity to Goliath.
Like Goliath, the Frankenstein monster is shunned and feared by humans, even humans that he has helped, because of his threatening and monstrous appearance. Like Goliath, the monster is very eloquent and well-read with a fondness for the classics (Goliath reads Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky, the monster reads Plutarch and Milton) - Hollywood has done us a disservice in its distorted interpretation of the monster as a dumb shuffling brute. Alas for the monster; in the world of Shelley's novel there is no Elisa Maza to see past its threatening exterior and discern its true nature or even any clan of similar beings to live with it. And so the tragedy at the end comes about.
For that matter, also in the novel, Victor Frankenstein is at one point, at the monster's request, about to create a mate for it, but then starts worrying about the consequences: one of his worries is that she might be unwilling to make peace with humanity and wage war upon it. Does anybody find themselves suddenly thinking of Demona?
Of course, there is the substantial difference that gargoyles are not artificial creations as the Frankenstein monster was. But I can't help feeling that there is a strong similarity here, all the same.

Mandi> Having a little sibling is *not* what it's cracked up to be. You're lucky you can have the house to yourself.
Robby> Heheh, I too am just now starting my summer assigned reading. Finished Frankenstien, now onto #2 of 3...don't even recall what the title is.
Frankenstien took some time to get rolling with me, but once it did I enjoyed it. I decided to watch the movie that came out a few years back and ack! To have the nerve to call that perverted version of the book 'the true way the story went', and to attach Mary Shelly's name to it... she must be spinning in her grave. How pathetic that in the attempt to stay true to the book, they do just what all the other Hollywood versions did and embellish... only the Hollywood versions never claimed to be faithfull. *sigh* Oh well... it wasn't totally bad. The music was all right. I think that the directing was a tad too manic, though. It would've been better if Neil Jordon directed it, methinks. :)
Hercules> Dang, didn't come into the room in time to catch this. Sounded... unique.
James> Swearing isn't quite encouraged in here, but it's gonna happen. We're all human. Including you.

QUISTION FOR TGS
In the Dark Ages episode Alliances part one it said in the flash back scean that the eggs were just lain. But in a few mounths they hatched and it was Goliath and Demonas rookery that hatched. So shouldent in Alliances part one flash back scean be in 928 when Goliath and the rest of his rookery sibs should of been lain ( which they were.) But in part one it said that the leader before Hudsons mate just lain an egg and so did the other females at that time. So why was the flash back scean in 938 instaid of 928?

James Birdsong - I'm sorry you were disappointed, but I can't be held responsible for what TV stations are airing in California. I live on the other side of the country. The King Arthur episode aired as scheduled where I live. Apparently other people in this room were also able to see it Saturday night. If you are 19 years old you should know by now that different TV affiliates air different schedules in different parts of the country. Where I live the UPN affiliate airs Hercules Saturdays at 8 PM. The following week the WB affiliate airs the same episode Saturday at 4 PM, which is convenient if I happen to miss an ep. I have absolutely no idea of what your TV stations are broadcasting so you need to check your local schedule to find out when or if they air Hercules. And if you must bitch at someone, bitch at your local TV station, not at me.

Wilek> XOOM.com. I wanted to join thier buyer's club, because a friend of mine is a member, and she's always forwarding me these great offers. To get into the buyer's club, you have to sign up for one of their other services, and web space was the most interesting of the available choices. Everything's kind of on hold for now, because I think I'm about to replace my car's water pump.
Gunjack Valentine> I got into fanfic about a month ago, but I'd been thinking about it for longer. I've been looking for a way to get a wide variety of people to read stuff I've written. Gargoyles just happened to be what I was reading heavily when I decided to go ahead and do it. Besides, I really like TGS, and wanted to interact with the world the TGS staff is creating.
Speaking of Fanfic, I guess I'd better log off and get to work. See ya'll later.

Hmm, room picked up a bit last night...
Wilek- It *IS* possible to give an anthromorphic lion a mane, as evidenced by King Richard at the end of the film, its just difficult because on human anatomy, a mane usually looks pretty stupid. As far as the pong thing... I heard it somewhere, but I don't believe it myself. (I believe it may have been EGM's Psycho Letter of the Month...)
Spike- Hmm, nice entry. Gee, I wonder whats going to get a lot of votes. Hmm...
James Birdsong- Your attitude is unbecoming of a "kind, knightly, chilvorous person" James. Despite what you claim to be, you've started to prove you are not the MacBeth type at all. Yelling at Jenniren was uncalled for. She did not lie, many of the rest of us saw the episode. It was your local station that changed, it was not Jenniren's fault. So don't yell at people without just cause James.
Gunjack- The story you're thinking of is "I'm Sorry." Its already been voted for a couple of times, your vote just adds to it!
Warpmind- I am by no means out of fanfics. There's tons, but I try not toread fanfics anymore. It kind of conflicts with TGS work... Its a downside to the job.

Mandi-Heh. Simple answer. Buy a Sony PlayStation, please.
Doug-Oh, so you've been going to Mieu Sedai's Fanfiction Page in the main Mieu Sedai's Reality, I presume. I've only skimmed that area a bit, I go into the BREATH OF FIRE Fanfiction Page. Check out her Video Games Section, BREATH OF FIRE II, or BREATH OF FIRE III, in the Video Games Section, and/or Fanfiction if its there, and if its not, in BREATH OF FIRE II, or BREATH OF FIRE III, click on Fanfics. Either that or scroll down to the bottom of the REBORN AGAIN Contents and use one of the three Links provided there. BREATH OF FIRE: MYRIA'S LEGACY is in the BREATH OF FIRE Fanfiction Page. Or whatever. Its simple to find. My method was clicking on the Fanfic Section of her BREATH OF FIRE III Page a year or so back when looking for BREATH OF FIRE Fanfiction.
As for Lucia, keep in mind Luna had given up her magic, and had a mortal's equivalent. Lucia, on the other hand, is unhampered (save when under Zophar's Curse).
So you reached Azado, eh?
Get ready for some intense action. Well, not really intense, but intense as in you're going to get into a certain situation.

There thats better said Xanathar.

Coyote: Jack's hearse is a Caddy, alright, and it's fairly new, but it's been heavily modified. It has a lift kit and huge tires, six exhaust pipes on each side, a 16-cylinder engine, 9-speed manual transmission with 3 reverse gears, 4-wheel drive, and even a dashboard clock that keep accurate time. BTW, he named his hearse "Cthulhu." :) As for the top speed, he simply hasn't found it yet. There aren't many places with enough room to let it all hang out in a car like Cthulhu. ;) The hearse, btw, was instrumental in bringing Jack to Oberon's castle in my as-yet-unposted "Jack-beats-the-crap-out-of-Oberon" story, "Love and Bullets"... :)

**** BEGIN RP ****
[Scene opens as Doug and the Ravens are facing Goud, who just took command of his X-Wing fighter...]
With cannons charged and topedoes ready to fire, the evil clone of Doug chortles, "Prepare to meet the being whose name I share except for an extra letter! Muhahaha!!!!!"
Unable to move in time, Doug barely has a second to look towards Kitania to share one last look, before Goud jerks the trigger on his control stick...
But, the X-Wing's generators spool down, and the weapons can't fire! With a look of disbelief, Goud starts flipping toggles and pushing buttons, but to no avail. With a groan, the fighter's repulsor lifts fail and the ship crashes to the deck.
"What the--???" he curses!
Doug and the Ravens are just as shocked. But, before anyone can say or do anything, a strident whistle cuts across the battle, drawing everyone's attention to the back of the fighter, even Goud...
"'Scuse me, not to make you miss out in killing your cell-mate," a silver-haired, elfin figure with violet eyes says, dangling the remains of the ships negative power coupling from one hand, "But, I don't think those guns will work without this."
Goud is insensed! "Who are you?!?"
Just then, an explosion rips through the floor just below Borgis and Butt-Borg, who go sailing into several pieces while cheering "Heh! We got blown... up!" Emerging through the hole, a familiar red-and-chrome hoverbike sails through, its rider firing his twin Desert Eagles at the last Borg, Stuart, who goes down with a whimper.
"Her name is Jessesandra of Avalon," the tall man in the leather bomber with the white hat growls. "And I'm Big Jake!" He levels both .50 caliber pistols at the evil clone, cocking both actions. "An' I'm the last thing this side of Hell you're ever going to see!"
**** PAUSE RP ****
CHRISTINE - Nice Sith ad!
KIT & DOUG - You're Back? I never saw you leave!
SPIKE - Love the MGC entry! It really fits!
WILEK - Interesting link! Going to love testing it out!
PAUL NATHANS - Thanks for sending the award, but what is it for exactly? Writing Exellence? Best Adaptation in Fan-Fic? What?
And, that said...
**** RESUME RP ****
Before Big Jake can pull the triggers, the sound of tromping feet can be heard in the room next to the control center. With another blast wave, a section of wall is atomized, revealing a fresh legion of Borg drones. Distracted, he is unable to recover quick enough when Guod rockets out of his disabled X-Wing to seek the protection of his allies.
At the head of the drones, the female Drone named Two-of-One stands defiant, her arm weapons still smoking from blasting the wall. "Master Goud! Come away! We will deal with the Ravens." She motions to the other drones to advance, adding, "Leave Jake for me alone! He and I have much to deal with!"
But, Two-of-One is shocked when a bolt of white energy cuts a score in the deck before her. Looking to the source, her remaining organic eye widens, seeing Jess standing there on the nose of the X-Wing.
"You?!? Here???"
Her hands glowing with white light, Jess raises them to a defensive/offensive posture. "Where else would I be, but at the side of the man that saved me from Thailog, you Borg Bitch?!"
Two-of-One sneers. "You were a fool to reject our ultimate master, Jessesandra! And now you've come back, you must know you will never leave again!"
Jess's violet eyes flash whitish-green, her hair swirling in an unseen wind. "All of the heroes will leave this place... whether or not you or I will live remains to be seen!"
With a cold stare, Two-of-One charged her weapons. "You cannot defeat me, Jessesandra!"
Jess's lips twisted into a lopsided grin. "I already have... my dear sister."
[The scene closes as the two combatants leap into action, meeting each other with a sudden clash of blinding energy...]

**RP HERE**
Outside on the battlefield, Tricia is battling the last six Borg-Huns. She uses telekinesis to smash two of them into each other and make them explode, vaporizes another with pyrokinesis, and kills the fourth by lashing his head off with her electrified chain. The fifth aims an arrow at her, but is gunned down by Gubio before he can shoot. Tricia calls out her thanks and then uses her telekinesis to grab the last Hun and throw him into the nearest turbolaser battery. In a huge explosion, both are terminated. "Hope Atilla doesn't mind us taking out his men," Gubio says. "We'll deal with that possibility later," Tricia shrugs. "Come on, from the looks of where the remaining Borg out here are, Shogun and Argent may need our help." Gubio nods and they run off, while Stephanie continues to clash blades with Amanda nearby.
The display switches to inside the Devastator, where the other Ravens are continuing to inflict heavy casualties on Guod's minions. "Orok, Aurok Murok, ladadeda..." the Eyes Wide Shut weirdo chants, throwing a stream of energy at Lathrop. The Ravens' wizard catches it on his staff and reflects it back at the enemy, drilling a neat hole through the other wizard's masked forehead. "Burn in hell, pervert," Lathrop snaps, using his staff to consume the EWS cabal leader's body in scathing flames. The rest of his cabal have already been eliminated, along with all the JB and Sandy guests. Above them, Doug continues firing to damage Guod's command chair while dodging his evil clone's shots. "This will end soon!" Guod declares as his latest laser blast snaps a strap of Doug's jetpack in half. Doug discards the pack and activates his Jetson-style hoverbelt instead, continuing the fight as he makes a CR post.
**END RP 1ST HALF**
Hi, hope you're all having a good weekend. Thanks to everyone who welcomed Kit and me back, it's good to be back. <grin> Let's see, what do I have to talk about tonight?
Fanfic Progress: Eruption is progressing, I say another week or two and it will be done. The fic after it will be Protected Species. Speaking of my fics, I must once again ask people to send me feedback. It really makes a writer worry when he doesn't get any for a while and that has unfortunately happened to me now. Hope people soon find time to read my work and send some. You all know the address.
SOROW: Okay, now I know a bigger Highlander-fan than Stephanie. :) She tried to tape all the episodes, but her collection is unfortunately incomplete. At least she got all the really good ones. <grin>
SJ: Have a nice family vacation if you can. Hope to see you back in here soon.
Pistoff: It's not much of a mind-bender actually. Lots of German immigrants have come to Texas over the years. Some of them were among my ancestors. The most famous Texan of German ancestry was probably WW2 Admiral Chester Nimitz, you may have heard of him. Don't worry, you're not the only one who was surprised at the number of German-descended people in Texas. I was too when I did a report on them in eighth grade.
Ghostbusters: I agree, it was a great show. The Chulthu and Samhain eps were my favorites. I enjoyed the mythology mixed with action, humor, character development, and good plots. Ghostbusters, Transformers, GI Joe, and He-Man were probably my favorite cartoons as a kid.
Congrats to everyone who's successfully finished summer school.
Coyote: Glad I'm not the only one who thinks a Gargs/Zorro crossover is a good story idea. :)
Blade Runner: Yep, the original version is way better. The voice-overs helped fill in the plot and character development, and the changed ending in the director's cut just wasn't as good. I think that they released the BR Director's Cut for the same reason they made Runaway Bride- capitalizing on a story whose time was long past for a few extra bucks.
Paul: Well, Luna was a goddess in Lunar 1 and you could control her without any major game imbalances. <shrugs> You do have a point, thanks for making it. We just reached Azado this morning, the game's action seems to be really picking up. :)
As for BOF- Myria's Legacy, we can't check it out because we don't know where it is. Mieu Sedai's page is apparently missing it from their fanfic section, and we don't know of any other BOF pages on the web. If you have a specific link that you provided us before, sorry we didn't record it. Hope you're willing to give it again. :(
Gunjack: Welcome back. I first got involved in fanfics in 1996, what got me started was Christine's stories and the Athenaverse (found them on GFW after a Yahoo search). I was inspired by them, as well as Gargoyles and all the other shows I've enjoyed, to eventually write my own fanfic work.
Okay, looks like I've already covered everything. This place needs to get lively again, huh? Oh well, I'm sure that will happen when new episodes are released. For now, good night.
**START SECOND HALF OF RP**
"Let's shave that a^* of yours, nigga s&*t!" Borg Howard Stern yells, buzzing at Shauna with his implanted vibro-razor even as she uses her saber to trim his long hair. "That is it!" Kitainia shouts. "We have had enough of your vulgar antics!" She immediately grabs Stern and shoves her rocket launcher down his throat, then pulls the trigger, banishing him forever from this life. "No!" JB wails. "You killed our inspiration!" He and Sandy charge Kit, but are driven back by a machine-gun blast from Jammer and Elena. Orion knocks Funky back with his mace in the same instant, the thong-clad moron smashing into Bridget and knocking them both down. The four Austin radio personalities all get up and aim their weapons at the Ravens once again. "This is the end for you!" Keith yells, throwing atomic ninja stars into all four of them and taking them out in explosions. "That's for all the mornings you've ruined!" "Amen!" Elena agrees, incinerating the four with a mito-liberation blast just to make sure they never come back. They die with stupid grins on their faces. "Guys?" Stuart asks Borgis and Butt-Borg as he realizes the three of them are now way outnumbered. "Should we run now?"
Above them, Doug dodges another shot from Guod and then swoops behind him and shoves a live grenade into the command chair's hover jet. Guod screams as it explodes, throwing him out of the destroyed chair and into the nearby wall. "Doug?" Wilek asks him via communicator at that moment. "It's me. We're about to set the charges and evacuate, unless there's anything we can help you with up there?" "I think we got it, Wilek," Doug answers. "Thanks anyway." "Uh, okay, good." "Your friends won't escape the Devastator alive, weakling copy," Guod warns as he pulls himself into a wall-clinging position and turns to face Doug. He presses a button on his wrist. "I've just flooded the engine room with a highly potent nerve gas no living being can possibly withstand!" "Die!" Doug shouts, firing his shotgun at Guod as he hears the pronouncement. Guod flips away from the wall to avoid it, pressing more buttons on his wrist as he does so. A nearby wall panel flies open, revealing the X-Wing Doug thought destroyed when Guod was created. The evil Borg leader lands in the fighter's cockpit and activates its weapon systems, causing Doug to drop his jaw in shock. "You are helpless before me now, Doug!" Guod cackles. "Prepare to meet the being whose name I share except for an extra letter! Muhahaha!!!!!" With that his fighter takes off, its lasers and proton torpedoes all armed and ready to shoot.

I was hoping that my schedule would slow down after NY, but it appears I was sorely mistaken. A good friend of mine is going to be hanging out here from tuesday to friday, which means I’ve got to spend today and tomorrow preparing the uberwhammy-in-a-can GURPS session that we’ve been building up to for the last eighty hours of play. I’ve been signed up for ANOTHER camp (this will make five weeks of camps this summer), and I’ve still got to learn to get a job, take a SAT/ACT prep course, and learn to drive, all in the next month. Oh, and I’m still trying to catch up on those two years of school. For someone who, until summer started, hadn’t set foot out of the house more than a dozen times in the last year, this can be very disturbing. I’m expected to go postal any minute now. :)
On to the responces...
Fanfic Poll - That’s a toughy... remember, the last time I actually got to browse the archive was a year ago, so I can't remember most of them...
Favorite Writers - CS Hayden(Optimistic), Jewell Faulkner(Fatalistic), Athenaverse(Buttkick), Ed Szetela(Cool), Merlin Missy(Old School)
Fave Cycle - Athenaverse, Dark Ages, and many, many more
Fave Male Characters - All original characters(nearly everything), plus: Umbriel, Zed(TGS), Lazarus/Orpheus(Athenaverse), Fox whatsisname(Szetela) Puck(Anything well written)
Fave Female Character - Demona, Elisa, Angela, Fox(nearly all), Christine, Belinda, Athena(Athenaverse), Brooklyn’s girl from Szetela
Fave Villians (Oh, goody) - Shiva(Athenaverse), Oberon(JF), Coyote any.any(Anything), Loki, Grimalkin, Madoc, Banshee(TGS)
I would have included my favorite solo story, but I can’t remember the name of it. The plot was that Demona had released the supervirus during “Hunter’s Moon”, and Puck redirected MacBeth’s half of the immortality spell to Elisa before it wiped him out too. The two of them ended up being the only two survivors on earth, and Elisa took up the Hunt. Anybody remember this one?
I was hoping to catch up on my posting tonight, but my parents are threatening to cut off my power so just one last thing...
I’ve got an open question for everyone: When did you first get involved in fanfics, and what got you started?

**RP!**
[Most of the team in the engine room have been disabled by the sonic emanations of Stewie's abominably altered version of Brendan's baby sister. The one hero who isn't paralyzed in agony is Raoul, who thrashes in pain as he claws across the floor and slaughters the sickening machine. The team recovers quickly, but not quickly enough to prevent Stewie from activating a force field around the engine core and synthesizing exo-armor of his own, becoming a blasphemous mockery of an infant gargoyle. Stewie: "You intellectually-challenged organics will not stand in the way of the assimilation of Earth!" Stewie laughs maniacally as he deploys an electron discharge weapon and fires randomly at the team, flying about using an antigrav engine...]

Xanathar> Thanks, but...I have the game. :) (It could have been great, but unfortunately, they've decided to sabotage it, by not allowing the game to progress if cheat codes are used, and that's IF anyone finds a way to use them, which I haven't. The next sadist who designs a game like that will be taken out and shot. That's a promise. Are you listening, Rareware? Do you hear me, Lucasarts? Hah? HAH?!! <blink> I'm OK...really...)
Pistoff> <<The Real Ghostbusters: I remember one episode where they actually went to see "Ghostbusters"!>> Eh? Interesting. That might explain the differences between the movie and the show--weird casting! ;P j/k

David G.> Hm...I had a similar problem once; HTML and graphics files that were sent to me would be severely corrupted. Switching from a web-based interface to Netscape Messenger solved the whole matter. Hey, you're getting a site? Kewlies. What space provider are you using?

**RESUME LONG RP!**
[The team tries several times to destroy the flying and firing Borg baby genius, but even when they manage to hit him, his personal shielding is much too powerful for even their weapons. They take cover behind a sturdy piece of machinery. Jake: "Dang it, we can't even scratch this guy!" Teri: "Maybe we can make him fire at the engine core? That cannon looks powerful enough to penetrate the force field." Anoth: "I attempted that. The field seems to be attuned specifically to prevent that." Miriam: "I have an idea." She fiddles with some buttons on her vortex rifle's controls, then leaps out into full view of the malevolent infant. (That would make a great name for a band.) She pulls the trigger on her rifle...and nothing happens. Stewie grins and levels an electron stream at her--but instead of hitting her, the stream is absorbed into the emission node of the rifle. Stewie looks shocked for a moment before Miriam adjust one of her weapon's controls, sending a power surge up the electron stream and into Stewie's systems. He screams and convulses before falling, twitching to the ground. Miriam gives the all-clear, and the rest of the team emerges from hiding. Wilek: "Wow...how in the world...?" Miriam: "A simple matter of reversing the energy flow polarity of the emitter coil. This is a *most* versatile weapon." Teri: "In layman's terms, it kicks butt." Teri finishes Stewie off with her triad cannon, and Wilek reports: "Doug? It's me. We're about to set the charges and evacuate, unless there's anything we can help you with up there?"]

Tonight's post is mostly replies. I'm holding off on the next Obnoxiously Long Post until (a) I get tired of writing Freelance stories for a while and (b) the Timedancer season premere comes out so I can maybe get some more information.
One interesting piece of news, I may be getting a website. I intend to have a Fanfic section (For more than just Gargoyles fiction), a Gaming section (Where I'll probably put the Goth rules), and The Hall of Spam. The Hall of Spam is where I'm going to post all the interesting bits of e-mail people send me, since as a matter of policy, I don't forward them unless someone specifically asks me.
DON'T START SENDING ME SPAM RIGHT NOW!! I DON'T HAVE THE PAGE SET UP YET!!
OK, that's out of my system. I just wanted to share the idea, not solicit material.
Mandolin> Yeah, I managed to watch some of the end. I was really sick, sick enough that I almost had to go throw up. I was way down at the front, so it was worse than it usually would have been.
BTW, I read a little of your fanfic, the stuff with Dingo. I really liked it.
Shotgun Raptor> Tetris is only violent if you count the intense desire to kill the little Russian dancer in the interludes. Of course the Sega Saturn game (maybe other systems too) of Tetris Plus has that version where the blocks are falling down on some little guy...
For a very interesting view of violent video games, I suggest a book by Terry Pratchet. It's called "Only You Can Save Mankind." It's kind of old now, so check Half Priced Books.
Tom> Welcome to the room. Someone will be along to take your sanity later.
Delphi> Thanks for the words of encouragement earlier today. After I read your e-mail, I actually got some good work done.

The Hood mailserver is down. Again. I have an urge to smack around a certain couple of techs from the IT department...
Anyway, before I crash, a quickie.
**SPOILERS FOR BLAIR WITCH PROJECT! THE VERY END OF THE FILM, IN FACT!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!**
David G> <<I saw Blair Witch Project last night, well, I saw about 20 minutes of it. I heard the rest, but my eyes were closed.>> You're kidding! You didn't even open them for the final ten minutes? The motion sickness I could understand - I saw it this afternoon and periodically closed my eyes when it got really jittery - but I didn't care during the last part running through the old house. I thought the beginning was slow, but that was an extremely effective ending. I wasn't sure who was manning the camera in the last few shots until the final shot. That *thunk* was far more chilling than the typical horror movie standard of the monster jumping out of the closet at the last second. (And did anyone else make the connection with Mike standing in the corner to the interviews in the beginning? It took me a minute, and I only got it a millisecond before the very end.) I'll probably sleep tonight, although I admit the film did a good job at messing with my head. If I was out camping, though, it might be a different story.
**END SPOILERS! REALLY!**
*sigh* We went home and watched "Silence of the Lambs" afterwards. :)
That's it, I'm exhausted. More later... I think I'm going to call the IT department tomorrow and yell at Nancy (I don't work for them anymore.)

*Begin RP* As Doc Congo, Blackwing and Firewater are charbroiling the annoy-yu squad, haim Saban, and the seemingly endless borg cannon fodder who look oddly like vehicons (the new bad guys in the next Beast wars series) Shogun and the other deadly seven members shake off the effect of the Jigglypuff song and leap back into the fray, their predacon and decepticon cohorts taking no heed in their biological natures in the interest of mutual survival, suddenly, a heavily armored borg comvee rolls out from the devastator and the wild thornborgoies disembark, Eliza thornborgy calls forth a bunch of borg animals,among the animals are borgified white tiger, a cheetah, a gorilla, a falcon, and a rhinocerous, all in the deadly seven war party are silent, save for Blackwing who looks at the new combatants, defiantly kicks the charred remains of haim saban, mutters" This is gonna be sweet" as he eyes the animals summoned, a bloodlust filling him to the core *end RP*
Wild wild west review> I finally saw this, and they were right, Kevin Kline does look horrible in a dress, but no worse than Tim Curry, speaking of Sevarius, there was a Fox cartoon called "Peter Pan and the Pirates" and Ol' Doc Sevarius did the voice of hook, shared some of the mannerisms of Sevarius to boot, even quoted Shakespeare, but I digress, in terms of western parodies, Blazing Saddles was better, in terms of spy movies, Austin Powers was better,but in terms of fanciful technology it was first rate, but I've always been a sucker for outlandish technology

I was in my local video game rental place and there was a survey about violent video games, as I filled it out something ocurred to me, every game past Pong has been violent in some form or another, for instance Pac-man, he eats the ghosts, if that doesn't condone cannibalism, I don't know what does: Donkey Kong: Going after a gorilla and using a sledgehammer, Animal Abuse, same with pretty much every mario Bros. game, the one underlying theme of video games has been "get them before they get you" survival of the fittest, violence at it's most pure, of course there are the matter of learning games, but these are not so much "video games" as "Educational software"

JENNIREN - I just saw that "Hercules" episode in question (at least this time I got to see it all the way through). It's certainly not for purists, although it did have its moments (I was mildly amused by the scene where Hercules used Excalibur for a golf club). One comment about it that I have seen here is that the young Merlin of that ep looked a lot like our Merlin/Emrys. I will agree that their Merlin did indeed look like a grown-up version of Emrys Hawkins, although judging from when the picture was made, that has to be a coincidence.
(And I was half-expecting that round shield of the giant knight's to wind up becoming the Round Table, too. I'm not sure why).

She tried watching once but got confused (even though I explained some of it to her) and then left the room.

Hi folks. I'm supposed to be writing now, but reading the CR is more fun. I couldn procrastinate longer if there were more posts, though.
I saw Blair Witch Project last night, well, I saw about 20 minutes of it. I heard the rest, but my eyes were closed. This was not because the movie was particularly scary. Oh no, it's because we got into the theater late, and the only seats left were on the very front row of a theater with stadium seating. Between the jittery camera work and the low pov, I spent the whole movie trying not to throw up.
I'll have to go again one of these days to see if the video is as interesting as the audio.

Quick post before I run out...
Tip of the Day - When your parents leave you with the house to yourself, it's not necessarily a blast unless you have a younger sibling you can con into helping with all the laundry, cleaning, trash taking-out, and watering of Mom's huge backyard garden. (I'm an only child.)
Paul, you might be interested to know - last night proves I've been lurking in the CR too long. Went out to the mall with a friend to pick up something, and went in the little software store. I stopped short when I saw Lunar: Silver Star Story: Complete on the shelf, and picked it up, exclaiming, "Hey, this is one of the games Paul's always talking about!" Dave just looked at me like I was nuts. Unfortunately, it was for Playstation, and neither of us have that system.
Okay, off to run errands now... til later...

Not much.
The only reason I'm in here is in regards to Lucia's character development.
That's the only topic that's interesting right now.
Oh, yeah, there's another.
Todd, did you get the THE GARGOYLES SAGA Episode Award I Sent you, and distribute it to the Staff, or whatever it is you people do with your Awards?
There's another two, but that'll be mentioned last.
Lucia-Doug, you didn't give your opinion.
As for not controlling her, well, there's a reason. She is a Goddess after all, and therefore her abilities need to reflect that. She has a bunch of seldom-used abilities that could make all battles a piece of cake (like one that wipes out all enemies instantaneously, I think always works, and I believe also gives normal end-of-battle awards), as well as, I believe, massive healing spells. Unless you two are looking for a very, very simple game, because she will use those abilities, but I don't think often, well, I wouldn't be regretful of having her not controlled.
As far as I remember, the first place Lucia showed some real actual emotion, without confusion, was when she was waking up Hiro after the avalanche. She's developing.
Have you reached Azado yet?
Also, the other topic.
Are you two going to check out BREATH OF FIRE: MYRIA'S LEGACY, or what!?

**Walks into the CR, flipping a double-barrel shotgun around, Bruce Campbell-style**
Hi, everyone, I just got to review some of the info I've displayed here on Bruce Lee etc. and it seems some of the info is slightly inaccurate. Feel free to insult me about these details anytime. Oh, and who was it that said Bruce Lee had a leg problem? It seems incorrect, though he *did* break his neck once. As for the neck, it brought up an interesting fight; Bruce Lee had promised he could beat up anyone in some hall in less than a minute, and when an old rival/enemy showed up, he had to keep his word. It was a clean fight... until the rival struck the aforementioned neck, whereupon Bruce Lee snapped. After 58 seconds of fighting, the rival was down, unable to either walk or eat solid food (and I do not know if he ever recovered). Then, the students of Bruce Lee said "Master, what took you so long?". Wish I'd seen it with my own two eyes.
By the way, have I ever mentioned that I am of the Jackie Chan school of Combat? I quote the two important rules:
1: If it's loose, it's a weapon.
2: If it's not loose, it's a shield.
Oh, and due to an unfortunate accident at my friend's place, I am now searching for a seven-foot Bo made of Rattan bamboo. I broke his two wooden ones, and now I feel I must acquire him a new and better one. It is not a matter of honor, it is a matter of life, death and a lot of broken limbs. One Bo broken by accident is just bad luck, two broken by accident... there is some divine power of misfortune out to get ya...
Well, gotta go.
**Checks Christines' posting way down in the CR and starts filling out a Dark Side application form**
Oh, and Spike, maybe it's time you update the Rockaway? Or is it just that the index file is not called index.html?
Well, gotta go, bye.
But before I leave: You know how Ash was forced to fight the Evil Ash? What would have made a good joke at the time would be Ash saying "I can't fight myself. I'm too superior, I'd never stand a chance."
**Yanks up the double-barreled shotgun and starts taking potshots at DC Binks**

SJ: Brendan Frasier?! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! Oh well. Better than Leo...Better than Leo...Better than Leo...
Entity: Hey, thanks for emailing me that article! :)
Coyote: Yeah, that was pretty scary, alright...
Kitainia: Welcome back! :) I prefer the original theatrical version of Blade Runner, too. I like the Director's Cut because it's letterboxed, but other than that, it's not an improvement. The movie was so dark and depressing, I liked the "up" ending of the non-director's cut version, and I liked Ford's voice overs. And that damned unicorn didn't add anything to the plot. All it did was make me say, "Huh?"
Steve Gooch: Oh, jeez, that sucks! I don't understand why people feel that they have to do things like that. I hope you can get your computer whipped back into shape--and that you can track him down and make him pay for what he did. If you need a hand, just let me know. I know how to punish people until they're reduced to whimpering, quivering masses tears and paranoia....
The Real Ghostbusters: I remember one episode where they actually went to see "Ghostbusters"! They showed the opening scene of the film, but of course they edited out the grafitti on the wall--"Venkman burn in hell!" ;)
**The Hunt for Ricky Martin**
Xanathar: Hee hee hee! Actually, to derive maximum enjoyment out of this, I think we'll need some assistance. **Whips out his cell phone and calls Jack Hammer. A few minutes later, Jack's hearse crashes through the wall and screaches to a halt. The door opens and Jack drops to the pavement, then frowns at Ricky.**
"Wait a second. Didn't Hunter Thompson pop your head like a zit, a while back?" Jack shrugs. "No matter. We'll make sure this one is more permanent." He takes some barbed wire from his hearse and wraps it around and around Ricky's body, immobilizing him. Then he takes a chain with a large hook on the end, and hooks it to Ricky's belt. He attaches the other end to the hearse's bumper.
"Okay, everybody, all aboard!" He gets in, followed by Pistoff and Xanathar.
"Say, Jack, what's the top speed of your car?" Pistoff says.
Jack shrugs. "I don't know yet. Maybe we'll find out tonight." He guns it, pops the clutch, and roars through the hole in the wall. Eventually the roar of the engine and Ricky's screams of agony fade into the distance...

**RP! This one takes place immediately before my previous one.**
[In the engine room, the Borg Micheal Jackson is looking at Chuckie in a most disquieting manner. Chuckie: "Um...guys, could you do something?" Stewie: "You simpleton, have you forgotten the override codes, used for shutting down dangerously malfunctioning drones?" Chuckie: "Well, I haven't been a Borg for long, ya know!" Angelica: "Let me handle this, Stewie; you *obviously* don't have what it takes. JACKSON!" Michael turns to the screeching little b***h-larva, who continues, "I don't know what you're doing here, but I don't like the way you're acting. Get outta here or--" Michael: "But I just want to help you little children..." Angelica: "HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME!" She uses the aforementioned override codes to shut him down; he falls on and crushes Dylan. Stewie: "That was a bad idea, you know. Guod put *me* in charge." They're about to get into a massive fight when the system registers a plasma leak in the defense corridor outside. Grampa: "Eh? I'd better go check it out." He shuts down the power to the damaged conduit and goes to the engine room door, only to be taken down by someone on Wilek's team.]
**PAUSE RP!**
Pistoff> <<I forgot about that one. I don't remember much about it either, except for things like the interactive toys that didn't really work much of the time.>> Heh...they actually work pretty well for me. :) I loved those things. And the action figures were so kewl--remember Lord Dread? Very 'Vader of Borg'. ^_^ Oh, and I think my favorite was the Soaron. It was this aerial sentry droid that looked for all the world like a robotic Brooklyn. I kid you not. So it was automatically kewl. :) I've seen a grand total of one episode of the live-action series, and I distinctly remember that Soaron was portrayed with what at the time must have been absolutely stunning CGI effects.
Skippy> <<It was about these construction workers who are digging a tunnel and come across a massive door with a demon face that tells them "Do not open until Doomsday">> I have that one on video! That was by JMS? No wonder it was so kewl. :)
SJ> <<Oh, and not only did that monkey site fill me with a soul-depressing, mind-numbing terror, but it actually froze up my browser!!!>> Hm...I wonder if all these dancing whatever sites are part of some manner of conspiracy...you're leaving now? Oh well. Goodbye, and come back soon. :)
Todd> <<One of them involved a man trying to call down Ragnarok on the world with a magic flute>> I kind of vaguely remember that one too. Hey, for whoever's interested, it's still on Fox Family every weekday. :) <<I think that I'd better not see this one, not if I want to preserve my sanity.>> You've been in the fandom this long and you're still sane? <blink>
Since we're talking about the Ghostbusters series, one thing I really loved about it was that it actually at least mentioned the events of the movies. A lot of series based on movies don't have such tight continuity. Granted, they took some slight liberties with the characters (When did Egon bleach his hair, and who ate Dana Barrett?), but that was quite forgivable. :)
Christine> <<the one I got with the typo, wishing me best of luck placing my wok elsewhere ...>> ACK. If they're going to send a form letter, they should at least have the decency to spell-check it. Next time you get one of those, you can tell them where they can shove your wok. >;P Sith employment ad> Kewl. Where do I apply? ^_^
Warpmind> Welcome back! :D Hm...way of the chicken? <blink> OK... You've turned DC into Jar Jar?! You're evil, you know that? >:) <kills DC Binks on general principle>
Vanessa> I presume that your sanity has already been confiscated? Then we can begin. Welcome! :D
Werewolf> Well, the whole tribe/pack/sept/whatever hierarchy is a tad complex for my tastes, but you have to love a race of warrior furries who are capable of entering the spirit world almost at will. :)
Ordell> Welcome back! :D
Coyote> <<Somebody want to get this guy a new drug, one that *won't* make him hallucinate?>> How 'bout strychnine?
Robby> <<Disney's Hook- Eh, he was kinda like Disney's Prince John.>> Which reminds me, why did Prince John not have a mane? Was this a genetic defect, or some kind of diseased fashion statement, or what? Oh well...you know, the other lion dude from the movie--Richard, was it?--was a big inspiration for one of the alien races from my fics. Something about him just sort of set off some weird little thing in my mind. Which is how I came up with just about everyone and everything in my ficverse, actually...
Fleur> I just thought of something that reminds me of that creativity demon of yours...in the GFW archive, I seem to remember tripping over a fic series that postulated that gargoyles were native to Earth...but that humans originated on Mars. You know, it would explain a great deal...
$Kitainia> Thanks for the RP info. :) I think I can handle it, although I might make a few characterization errors since I avoid Rugrats like the plague. :) <<cyber cookie to the first person who says what movie this guy is from>> Eyes Wide Shut?$
Steve Gooch> <<I'll be able to provide more of a post and decide whether a extremely long, carnage-filled D.C.-style death is going to be enough to put what that little monkey-[EXPLETIVE DELETED] did to my system behind me, or whether I'm going to turn all my assets on hunting him down IRL and making his life a living hell.>> If you like, I'll handle the DC death and you handle our hacker fiend (not a typo). >:)
**RESUME LONG AND SLIGHTLY DISTURBING RP!**
[Stewie: "They've penetrated our defenses! Angelica this is all your fault, you mindless cretin!" Angelica kicks him in the most sensitive area she can find, then screeches, "BABIES, ATTACK!" whereupon all the Rugrats characters rush Wilek's team. Wilek, Miriam, and some of the others fire at will, but a few of the team aren't quite so bloodthirsty...Jake: "Um...Wilek? You do realize that we're killing babies?" Wilek: "Well, we're only returning the favor. Besides, these are Rugrats. They should have been put in a blender at birth." A reassured Jake pauses a moment to nod before stomping on Tommy's head and firing at the more distant Rugrats. Spike (name?) and Raoul get in a short dogfight, which ends in Raoul trying to eat Spike's mangled corpse but not liking the taste of Borg implants. Phil and Lil try to double-team the team, firing from opposite sides of the battlefield, only to meet the business end of Anoth's lightning and Teri's triad cannon. Chuckie tries to retreat, only to be caught and crunched into a mass of metal and pulverized flesh by Forfexx's shapeshifted anvil fist. Finally, Angela tries to take matters into her own pudgy little hands, only to get her head pulled off and drop-kicked by Wilek. Seeing how badly his forces are losing, a recovering Stewie looks to Brendan's baby sister, who is merrily playing with some building blocks that bear a frightening resemblance to Borg ships with runic symbols painted on them. Stewie: "How would you like to off the heroes for me, and succeed where Angelica's stupid goons have failed?" The irritating baby coos her consent, whereupon Stewie hits several buttons on his control panel. The baby's Borg armor synthesizes and deploys a larger layer of exo-armor and six scuttler-like metal spider legs, along with implanted speakers; the whole affair bears a vague resemblance to the spider thing from Toy Story. Stewie: "Yes...my greatest creation works perfectly! Now...cry. Wail your discontent, and bring about the doom of our enemies!" The little brat begins screaming, and its speakers alter and amplify its voice to mind-shattering levels. The team is almost completely incapacitated by Stewie's new weapon (to which he of course is immune). He laughs maniacally while the screen chooses this inconvenient moment to fade to black...]

Hey all,
I haven't been around in the past few days because some [EXPLETIVE DELETED] little [EXPLETIVE DELETED] hacker-wannabe decided to [EXPLETIVE DELETED] get a trojan horse onto my computer and hijack it, planting all sorts of devious little [EXPLETIVE DELETED] viruses on it that forced me to go out and buy a brand-new two hundred dollar hard drive, spend all night installing Windows, and finally getting about a tenth of my previous utility level back as of now.
I leave for a five-day vacation in the Poconos tomorrow - well, this morning, so I won't be back until late Wednesday, at which time I'll be able to provide more of a post and decide whether a extremely long, carnage-filled D.C.-style death is going to be enough to put what that little monkey-[EXPLETIVE DELETED] did to my system behind me, or whether I'm going to turn all my assets on hunting him down IRL and making his life a living hell.
But, until then, be seeing y'all.

**SOMEWHAT LONG RP AHEAD**
In the field outside the Devastator, Tricia is taking on six Borg-Huns (who for some reason resemble Shan Yu's goons from Mulan) with her chain and psi powers while Gubio dodges gunshots from the Borgified PI Wolfe. Stephanie meanwhile draws her katana and faces Borg-Amanda. The assimilated immortal pops her implanted sword out of her forearm and charges Stephanie, soon they are clashing blades. Kitainia's sister fights bravely, but is visibly hard-pressed by her opponent's catlike reflexes and high skill combined with her Borg implants. The clench of her jaw shows she is determined to win. Gubio keeps watch on the fight out the corner of his eye, continuing to exchange shots with Borg-Amanda's partner. Suddenly a bullet glances off his laptop's carrying case, nearly puncturing the computer inside. "You made a mistake," Gubio declares as he dodges Wolfe's next shot, aiming his own pistol. "Don't you know hitting my computer is guarenteed to piss me off?" He takes quick aim and shoots Wolfe in the gun hand, opposing elbow, both knees, and finally the forehead. The Borg-PI collapses into death. Gubio turns away from him and after seeing Stephanie wants to fight Amanda alone runs to help Tricia with the remaining Huns.
The display switches to inside the Devastator's control room, where the other Ravens are continuing their own battle. Doug is jetting around and dodging shots from Guod, trying to return fire and take out his command chair's armaments. On the floor, Kit and those with her are facing down a huge advancing group of Borgified JB and Sandy radio show guests. "Do I make you horny, baby?" a twelve-year old "junior Austin Powers" makes the mistake of asking Kitainia. She immediately shoots him in the <ahem> with her rocket launcher, instantly destroying the perverted little brat. Other guests, including Austin's meanest old people, several ditzy housefraus and soccer moms, and the couple who had gone the longest without fighting (until they made the mistake of going on JB and Sandy's show and got provoked into a HUGE argument) are taken out by the other Ravens. "Darn you, I was going to date one of those guys!" Bridget wails as Elena and Jammer machine-gun four loser-jerks of various sorts into death. "Uh, you can score with me any time," Butt-Borg tells the whiny but cute radio personality. "Shut up!" Bridget snaps.
**PAUSE RP SO WE MAY POST**
Hi. Well, as you know, Doug and I got back from Schlitterbahn yesterday. We had a great time there, the slides were a lot of fun. So were the pools, the lines (Doug's already said why), and just about everything else in New Braunfels. It was a wonderful vacation. I'm glad I got the time off work to go. (Now if I had only been as lucky as Doug and gotten time off for New Braunfels and the Gathering as well. <sigh>)
I went back to work at Blockbuster this morning. Pretty uneventful day, except for co-workers asking me about the trip. I was of course willing to tell them everything. :) Doug and I were able to check out a couple movies earlier this evening, so here come some reviews.
**WEEKEND MOVIE SPOILERS AHEAD**
Deep Blue Sea: If you liked Jaws and Anaconda, you should adore this movie. It has the same basic plot as they did, that of the heroes vs. a bunch of really bad super-animals. Sharks in this case. What's surprising is you can actually follow the movie's plot easily, and that the characters are people you get to understand and care about as well. Their enjoyable preformances are backed up by a wonderful and very realistic script, as well as lots of amazingly well-done special effects. Several moments in the film will surprise the viewer, so it has a good shock factor too. Not going to spoil it any more than this, let's just say that it's definitely recommended. 8/10, thumbs up like shark fins. :)
Runaway Bride: We also saw this movie. Our local critics gave it awful reviews, and for once they were right. :( The magical chemistry Gere and Roberts had in Pretty Woman was not present in this film. The cliched and convoulted plot and predictable script, most of which had already been given away by the previews didn't help. Nor did all the dumb jokes sprinkled throughout the film. The old woman's character was enjoyable and there was a good Sting song, but that was it. 3/10, thumbs touching the ground and being nibbled on by gophers. <ouch>
**END MOVIE SPOILERS**
So we had a halfway enjoyable evening. Next week, there'll be reviews of Iron Giant (I think it's coming out) and of course Mystery Men.
Crystal: Thanks for giving us Deuce's message. Hope he comes back soon, we miss him very much. Welcome to the room, hope you will come back as well.
Paul: As per your request, I've started paying a little more attention to Lucia's development. Now her character is becoming slightly more interesting, I think the main thing I didn't like about her at first was the lack of emotions. Glad she has them at the point we're at now. Though the inability to control her as a party member still makes me groan.
Aaron: That proposed scene for Brooklyn and Demona's voices cracks me up too, thanks for posting it. :) I also prefer Fox's Hook to Disney's, same deal for their respective Smees and Peter Pans.
Fleur: Thanks for the e-mails, hope I get time to send a message soon. We all want Deuce to quickly come back. And thanks for sharing that awesome Gargs creativity demon.
Last Action Hero: I agree that it was an awesome movie for all the reasons earlier mentioned. Parts of it were dumb, but most of them were supposed to be that way. Most critics had trouble understanding that IMO.
Favorite Quotes: Practice- "Some people say I talk too much. No more words." <dies> Arnold- "Leo De Fart is going to pass gas one more time." And of course there's the one Doug gave me last month when he and Stephanie visited my Blockbuster- "See that girl? She shouldn't be here! She is way too attractive to be working in a video store!" :)
Soldier, Blade Runner: Both were okay movies, IMO. The former had real potential (they should have developed Kurt Russell's character more), but it was unfortunately sacrificed in the name of action and special effects. Blade Runner was the more excellent of the two, especially the non director's cut version (the director's cut is too confusing and tragic IMO). Great script, nice preformances from Harrison Ford and Sean Young, and a very memorable tragic villain. (His final speech is one of my all-time favorite sci-fi moments, as is the film's end.)
Welcome back to Valentine and everyone else who's returned. To those who gave them to Doug and me, thanks for the welcome backs. :)
David: Congrats on getting Freelance 2 posted. Hope to soon be enjoying 3.
SJ: Ah, the disadvantages of living among your family. :) Sad to hear you'll be leaving for a while. Hope you get back soon and are able to have at least some fun on the trip.
Wilek: $ Last I checked, the Devastator's engine room contained Borgified versions of several babies, mostly Rug Rats characters. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Angelica, and baby Dylan are all in there along with the dog and Tommy's grandpa. Brendan's baby sister is also part of the group (don't worry, she's basically your stereotypical loud gross whiny baby and little else). Stewie, the evil genius baby from Fox's Family Guy, is in charge (though Angelica may have a problem with it due to their conflicting personalities). And last but not least, there's a Borg Micheal Jackson in the room threatening all of them. I assume you know the characters' personalities from the shows that spawned them and SJ's recent RPs. If not, let us know and Doug and I will help you handle them. Good luck. $
Real Ghostbusters: I too enjoyed that show a lot. The mythology made it very interesting, and Peter's jokes made it fun to watch as well. Wish cartoons like it and Gargs were still on TV.
Quest for Camelot: That movie had its moments. The animation was good, as were the plot and the main character (mostly because she had some decent lines). I also liked the songs and the griffon. Other than that it was pretty much bleah.
Coyote: Glad to know your grandmother's better, she remains in my prayers. As for a Gargs/Zorro crossover, I agree that it could be a good idea. Maybe a Timedancer fanfic could feature Brooklyn meeting the Z-man. :) I know that in Doug's fanfic saga, Zorro is going to be one of nine legendary heroes who get reincarnated for the Apocalypse War (the group also includes Sigurd, some African guy whose name I can't remember, Hercules (the real one, not Disney's), Yamato, Mulan, Geronimo, Patton, and of course Cu Chalain. More may be added if we track down the proper myths).
That's all for now, hope to post more later. Good night.
**RESUME THE RP BATTLE**
"Eat this, stupid copy!" Guod shouts, opening a missile pod on the back of his chair and aiming its sights at Doug. The Ravens' leader immediately fires his plasma shotgun into the missiles, destroying all of them and heavily damaging Guod's conveyance. "Can't you do better than that?" Doug quips as his evil clone curses and starts firing the chair's four laser-guided machine guns at him. Shots from Doug's boomstick quickly take all four blasters out. Below them, Kit and the others continue their battle. Borg Howard Stern has now gotten close enough to Shauna to knock away her bow, so the archer has drawn her backup fencing saber and is busy slashing off Stern's implants while keeping him at bay with her Mace. Orion is fighting Thong-Man/Funky nearby, and inflicting heavy damage with his flail due to the Borg's severe lack of protection. Yet because of his stupidity and ego, the jerk radio personality continues to fight on. "Do something!" Stuart yells at his parents as more of the JB and Sandy guests are eliminated. They immediately rush to attack Shap, but he guns down Mr. Stevenson and then uses his holy avenger to dice up Stuart's mom, praying to God for forgiveness all throughout. "Uh, this may be time for a stragetic retreat or something, Butt-Borg," Borgis quips, seeing the battle is not going in their favor. "Shut up, dumass," says his partner. "We still have reinforcements."
He immediately presses a button on his wrist and a door in the control room flies open, admitting a bunch more Borg drones. All of these new arrivals are dressed in robes (except for the few women, who are scantily clad) and have masks of some kind welded to their faces. Lathrop notices their arrival and immediately throws a meteor swarm at the strange Borg, taking out the majority of them. The rest scatter to engage the other Ravens in the room, except for their red-robed and golden-masked leader, who advances towards Lathrop. The air around him glows with magic as he bangs his staff on the floor and chants "Aurok! Orok Murik!! Ladadadededadada!!!" (cyber cookie to the first person who says what movie this guy is from). And the fight contines.

Okay, I've read enough 1984 for one sitting, its time to look over the CR... Its not that bad a book, but I already know how it ends and it is like 70 years old, so the lingo is a bit icky, but otherwise, okay book for summer assigned reading. ( I really should have started summer reading before school was nearly upon me, but ah well... I'll never learn to stop procrastinating it seems. Could be worse, I could wait until the first day of school.)
Skippy- Your new costume in progress sounds cool. Can't wait to see pics!
Coyote- Actually, you have more votes than you think...
Disney's Hook- Eh, he was kinda like Disney's Prince John. The heroes were the main characters of those films and far outshined the badguys with their cleverness, and the villains really weren't a threat, there for comedy more than anything else. (Of course, all the villains in Robin Hood were idiots, but it was still one of Disney's best all the same. Catchy music too.)
Fandom poll- Thanks to all who have votes, those who haven't, you've got a week left. The results so far have been predictable in some cases, and surprising in others... The more people that vote, the more accurate the results shall be!
Wilek- Is there any such thing as off-topic in here?
"You made the classic villain mistake! You forgot to reload the gun!"
"No, I just left a chamber empty." BLAM!
Stuart Townsend as Aaragorn... I hope he looks the part better than that screen shot... I've always imagined Aaragorn clean shaven...
Aaron- Where do you get these creativity demons from? First the Jeff Bennet/Marina Sirtis bit, and now the Brendan and Yale thing... Eesh...
Real Ghostbusters- I remember some of this vaugley... Particularly a really long episode from when the show was an hour long, and the episode took up five acts... its never shown in reruns because of that... But all in all, Ghostbusters is right up there with Transformers and He-Man. I'm old enough to remember it, but too young to recall any of it in great detail. Thundercats is different because of Cartoon Network...
Christine- Hey, I'm willing to learn to be a Sith Lord... Where do I sign up?
Graeme and Aaron- Hmm, a San Antonio chapter of Gathering travelers.. Could work... Would be more conveniant for all parties involved as well... Well, we got a year to figure that out... (Though I may need to make a side trip to Georgia so that may not work...)
Jeb- The Moon Eyes Saga (It was a four parter) didn't quite have the usual ammount of visuals, but it was a very well written story, a romance of sorts with a fairly unexpected ending. Shame the comic was cancelled shortly after, the Infinity War looked like it woulda been fun... (But instead of getting a last five part hurrah that could have taken out the series out on issue 75, we instead got a lousy two parter with baby turtles and reprints, and then a lousy three part mini-series that had nothing to do with anything that had gone before. Oh well...)
And actually in DBZ, they DO stop running into powers unlike any they have seen before, and start running into villains more powerful than any they have seen before. (The side effect being the main characters get stronger and by the end of the series Goku when merged with Vegeta has a power level of 49 million...)

Creativity spawn that I just got reminded of by my mother turning on the Disney Channel just now (11pm EDT): Has anyone ever considered a Gargs/Zorro crossover? Considering last night I watched "Mask of Zorro" again, the thought occurred to me of what would happen if Zorro (Don Diego, not Alejandro Murrieta) had a gargoyle as an ally ... Don Diego makes Zorro's daytime appearances, while the garg poses as Zorro at night because he's a much better fighter (not to mention stronger). Hmm, it might just show up later if I ever get the gumption. ;)
SJ: You're leavin'?! Man, that sucks! Hope you're back soon.
Llewellyn: The music wouldn't work for me, but judging by the filename of the .wav file I'm guessing it's from Austin Powers.
Pistoff, re: "Elizabeth Dole Fertility Dance" page: Tried to load it, but it's too bandwidth-heavy. Basically it looks like a bunch of copies of Elisabeth Dole's head pasted on other bodies, something with Bob Dole and Viagra (shudder), all set to the tune of some weird-o singer who sounds chillingly like Boy George singing "Sheeeeeeee makes me shiver ..."
**shudders violently, then continues**
Delphi: Quest for Camelot?! **whimpers, gazing at the tallest candle on the table** Why'd you have to mention that movie? It has the song in it, and ... I ... **trails off, lets out a choked sob, then continues**
Christine: My, I'm honored to have conceived last month's Bitchin Clever Thing (tm)! ;) I know the guy who cut those was very happy with me (it isn't every day someone buys $200+ in vinyl decals from him), as I am very *VERY* happy with his work ... he's done three more for my own car: an altered version of Goliath and Elisa (with text framed around it to give my Caddy its name ... "Now And Forever") and two small decals of the Cadillac crest framed by bat-style gargoyle wings (as opposed to a laurel wreath) that went on the front sidemarker lights. Cool stuff, indeed. :)
Vanessa: Hey, nobody answered my question: what about the addys that were collected in Dallas, are they already on the list or do we have to send mail to the address?
SJ again: Actually, some nimrod at "Entertainment Weekly" writing this friggin' "If We Ran Hollywood" article for the mag stopped short of *DEMANDING* that Leo get cast as Anakin. Somebody want to get this guy a new drug, one that *won't* make him hallucinate?
**sighs, sits back in the big chair and fixates on the candles' flames, chin firmly in hand.**

This is probably my last post before I leave...so it'll be a while till you guys get to hear my rambling again!
Harlan Ellison: It's kind of funny we were just discussing him, because word out now is that Harlan is interested, down the line somewhere, in actually writing a SILVER SURFER one-shot for Marvel's "Marvel Knights" line. If anyone remember the Silver Surfer cartoon show (don't worry if you don't, it barely lasted a season), Harlan wrote an episode for the series, and apperently wants to take another stab at the character. While this leaves me drooling and grinning like an idiot, the bad news is this won't likely happen soon....I just wish it happens one day, though!! :)
***STAR WARS RUMORS******
This is weird....rumor now floating around is that BRENDAN FRASER is being considered for the role of Anakin.....You know, I don't exactly agree with this either. I haven't seen Fraser in too many movies where I've been impressed with his skills. I don't know if he can pull off this role...but then again, he's better than James Van Der Beek, or Ryan Phillippe, or any other WB heartthrob up for the part.
Repeat after me folks: "ANYBODY but Leo.....anybody but Leo....Anybody but Leo...." ;)
****END SPOILERS****
Ironwolf: Do you mean the movie "Wing Chung"? I have that on tape somewhere. It's a pretty cool kung-fu period piece starring Michelle Yeoh as an ass-kicking femme fatale in feudal Japan. Great stunts.
Why is it that the Chinese/Japanese have better fight scenes than we do? I mean, I've never seen one director or stunt coordinator in Hollywood do anything as remotely cool as the stunts found in "Hard Boiled" or "Heroic Trio". You'd think after years of the Ahnuld "Punch and Grunt" Swarzenegger school of stunt fighting they'd buy a freakin' clue. I guess that's why John Woo is so dern popular with the suits nowadays.
Todd: I believe the RGB episode you are referring to was called "Ragnarok and Roll", and was one of my personal faves. And I agree, RGB was a tremendously fun show back in the day. I enjoyed the numerous mythical creatures they employed as well, as well as fictional....another of my favorite episodes was the one where these cultists stole the Necronomicon and summoned Cthulhu. THAT was a classic!!! :)
Don't forget folks, Blair Witch Project opens this weekend--EVERYWHERE!!! I know a couple people in here didn't like it, but it really is a great movie. It'll scare the bejeezus out of you, I can guarantee you that!!!

"I think we're wearing him out, Xanathar. But let's not let him get too tired. It's not as much fun if they don't struggle a little." :)
**The chase continues...**
Aaron: Ah, thanks for the info, that was pretty cool. I didn't know that. And thanks for the nominations, too. Wow, my head is getting big... ;)
Delphi: The Technomage on Crusade is named Galen, played by Peter Woodward. Unless I'm mistaken, he's the son of Edward Woodward, who guest starred in the ep titled, "The Long Road." Anybody remember The Equalizer...? :)
Christine: The best of luck placing your wok elsewhere? Ack! That's heinous! Actually, what bothers me about my rejection is, once again, the speed. Their guidlines said that they take at least six weeks to respond to submissions. Know how long they took to reject mine? Four days. I'm just getting disgusted with the entire publishing industry. It seems like the past ten years of my life have been wasted, along with thousands of dollars for postage and supplies. I suppose I'll keep trying--I've invested too much time and money to give up now--but sometimes I just get so frustrated that I wonder why I bother.... Oh, loved that want-ad, too! LOL!
JEB: Thanks. I'm getting used to it, though... :(

TALEWEAVER - Thanks for the information about Harvey and Poison Ivy. As for the "Real Ghostbusters" episode that you mentioned, I think that I know that one; I recall that it was set in the Cloisters and that the ghost in question was Sir Breuse sans Pitie, who had been imprisoned in a tapestry in the Cloisters by Merlin. (Sir Breuse, by the way, was a real Arthurian figure, a recurring villainous knight in Malory. Another indication that the writers for that show really did their homework; Breuse isn't all that famous, at least, not in the same way that Arthur and Merlin are).
I do think that Venkman got some of the best lines in the series. One of my favorite ones was in the episode where he was put to work by the ghost of Casey Jones and protested, "This is America! I have a right not to work if I don't feel like it!"

Ironwolf> Excuse me, but if you're, let's say, a Malkavian Anti-tri...hu, a Pander, I mean (read the Sabbat Playerguide to know about the reference)hunting for some blood bags (read: humans) with your Pack, thinking that a trio of 10 years kids are an easy prey, then seeing them turning Crinos, you tend to think that it's a "Gros bill" game, made for powergamers.
my favorites are still Vampire (not the Camarillia, the Sabbat) and Mage.

Not much going on right now...
James Birdsong> Sorry to hear that. :/ Hope you'll get to stick around. <:)
Coyote> Our thoughts are still with ya, man. <:[
Pistoff> Sorry about the latest agent being nasty too. :/
Fleur> Very interesting info there... makes ya think. :)
Adam Sandler> I too dislike his style- I'm sorry, but dumb, tasteless comedy is not my cup of tea.
Robby> Actually, I did read Cyber-Samurai saga to the end, and I skimmed the Moon Eyes trilogy in the store (it didn't interest me enough to buy it).
BTW, you think after a while they'd run out of "powers unlike any we've seen before" on DBZ, yanno? <:) And I too liked "Last Action Hero," flaws aside.
X-Men Film> Toad's gonna be in the film? Well, my expectations just lowered into the negative range...
WB Gunjack! Seems you've had interesting times since G99... :)
Demona May> Hey! :) Nice to seeya- did the Gargoyles Encyclopedia get through okay? It bounced back the image files, but I thought the texts got through...
Where's Jackal?
Stephen> Congrats on the inspirational flash! :)
Running with Scissors> Bought this earlier this week (along with a Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Prowl)- I like it! :D Esp. the Horoscope and Jerry Springer ones. :)
WB, Doug! :)
SJ> Ugh. :/ Guess we'll see you in a week- hope your vacation isn't too terrible. <:)
The Real Ghostbusters> This was my fave show after Transformers was over. :) It was one of the few shows I've seen that never really went bad before it ended- it maintained wit and good stories all the way through. :) Now, the spinoff "Slimer!" is a different story...
Christine> *L* LOVE the Sith ad! :D
Mary Flanders> Congrats on getting out of summer school! :)
WB Warpmind! :)
Website Update (You KNEW this was coming)> The Registry itself is ready, I'm debating whether I should post new statistics or wait until another time... I'm waiting on a fixed version of one fanfic, and need to ask about some links... TGE has entries written but not HTMLized... but hopefully, I can finish it all by Sunday. :)

David G>> read your story again from the archives, and I am still very impressed with the fight scenes--esp. the one I pointed out to you before.
Quest for Camelot>> My girls liked it, I enjoyed both part of the animation and the songs. It is directed towards elemetary aged kids. My 5 yr old ended up in my lap for the scary scenes. There are some really fun scene stealers from other movies like Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry stuff (It's corny, but if your just going to enjoy, it can be fun)
The mutant buzzard was a griffin, some of the best animation is of the griffon in action.

Ironwolf> Like I said, I've played in good Werewolf games. I just know lots of power gamers who like the big claws and all the cool magic powers. The ones I know don't necessaraly represent all Werewolf players very well, and I didn't mean to imply that they did.
Delphi> Was Quest for Camelot any good? I saw the dragon, and the mutant buzzard, and I was too afraid to watch the movie.

Werewolf> I am afraid I have to disagree about this only appealing to power gamers. You get that type in every game. I have played many a game were there was no dice rolling just role playing. The concepts works best If all the characters are cubs. You then mix the pack thoroughly (me I was a 2 year old wolf red talon). Just trying to get the pack to fit in different environments is huge amount of role-play. Just imagine trying to get a wolf to were shoes or the city boy to eat a raw rabbit! After a while the characters grow and expand. I learned to pass for human by a Fianna, and he learned about wolves from me. We both like to Brawl but he did it as a human and me as a wolf (we rolled around on the floor fighting each other for fun) As for politics there plenty of that too. It seems to me that David and Wrymwolf just found a bad Gm or bad group.
