My Lit Lecturer used Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run to display the effect of narratology in class today. It's the first thing he's spoken about all term that I've actually read.

How good is the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil series? "Just some guys who are about to walk into a diner for the last time." That line is so manly it could make a toddler sprout a beard.

The Justice League trailer is giving me mixed emotions. On the one hand, I desperately want to get hyped. On the other, Snyder and co have burnt me too many times in the past. I'm a conflicted mess.

What? The Lethal Weapon tv show isn't utter garbage at all, instead being an enjoyable watch. What the fuck is the world coming to?

Aye, say something like the League has been relatively quiet since their formation, then there's another bust of super crime requiring our deployment.

I'll probably make a new IC with the old one plus change, bumping the old thread hasn't done anything.
I think its the sheer amount of posts we've accumulated might be intimidating for new blood, despite the fact that we've done relatively little. We're at a good place right now to pick up new people.
Sweet, The Northern Barbarian is wanting some action. Preferably red around the middle and bloody.
Right ThatGuy and Sheikarah, I've had a look at both your posts in the 'pad and they're looking good. You wanting to post them both and I'll post my follow up (which is also in the 'pad) and we can get this battle rolling!

Really. Jesus I'm old.

I was thinking you could basically just use the same Interest Check you used originally, it seemed to spark a lot of interest.

Yeah, sure, relax. It would take a metric ton of weed for Volt to relax in a place like this, and even then the lighting would probably freak him out. He took a gulp from the beer that the tender had slammed in front of him. His face scrunched at the less than terrific taste, and he idly wondered if the barman had poisoned it out of spite. He could just see the head lines now – Leagues Newest Member Falls to Bartender. Nobody Surprised. But no, the only criminals here were the American macro-brewers who made this travesty against grain.
He listened in silence as Ryker and Sonja chatted, again be surprised at how easy they traded identities. It was an odd thing to hear, back across the pond a secret identity was something that heroes protected zealously, except British Bulldog, otherwise known as Barry Stuart, who had always been in it for the fame and fortune and told the press his real name almost the day he revealed himself to the world. It could just be the cultural divide, like American ostentatiousness versus British reserve, but he realised it was something more important than that. Sonja Simpson and Ryker Charleston weren't just happy to be The Spirit of Saint Lewis and Hot Rod, they were proud to be heroes. They were willing to stand up and own their choice to don costumes and fight for the little guy, because it was a choice they had willingly made. For Tommy Springsteen though, being Hi-Voltage was a penance and a punishment. It was him paying for the death of a friend and the shirking of responsibility. It was a trial he knew he could never escape, and just because he was good at it didn't make it any less of one.
He was aware that he'd been awkwardly quiet for a while now “So, the League huh? What do you folks reckon they'll have us doing then? I'm pretty good at getting cat's outta trees myself, but I doubt they brought me all the way to Chicago for that.” It was a pretty poor opener, he knew, but it was also a valid point.

How many actual players have we got left? Did Vita and Dblade leave when the other Anime fans jumped ship?
Maybe it's time to put up a new Interest Check, see if we can attract new MEAT!
