Bio

So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show.

So, this morning I wake up and hop on my laptop. I open up Chrome, head to RPG, and...



... I think Wraith is catching up.


Yeah, he started from my second post.
I can't believe that we already have 5k posts on the OOC within two months.


136 IC posts per month ain't too shabby either...

If these are inaccurate, let me know and I apologize in advance. I'm on my phone and double checking these would be alot more time consuming. But I will be double checking later tonight.

Psst. Unless I somehow messed up I also said the Rogues are great as villains, and I prefer them than always 'Speed versus Speed'


Yeah... but this was me saying it.
I'm kind of the other end of the spectrum on the Flash (or with @Sep). To me, the better stuff tends to be when the Rogues (who are each individually solid characters) are utilized properly and tend to be better stories than those involving reverse flashes and rival speedsters.

I've felt it as one of my chief criticisms of the tv show that they lean too muh on speedsters as villains. Especially considering what the comics have shown us.
Wait, you're posting without being post-for-post up to date???

For shame... SHAME!
Foisted by my own petard as I tried to drop the "I threw a rock at him!" pan...
I'm gonna say something that will probably get me killed; I do not care for the DCAU Batman.

Batman in the first three seasons of B:TAS was wonderful, and I loved Kevin Conroy's voice then, when he made a point to have some actual inflection and make his Batman and Bruce voices different. But as soon as it came time for him to start mixing it up with the other characters, IMO the character stopped being interesting. The writers' blatant favoritism when it came to Gotham characters being treated as innately superior to the rest certainly didn't help, but I also think they leaned way too hard into his whole "cold and calculating" outer shell to the point where that's basically all he was. And while I know that from Season 4 of BTAS to the present day, the monotone deadpan version of Conroy's voice is the definitive voice for most people, I feel like it makes him the least interesting part of any scene he's in, to the point where it often feels like Mark Hamill has to pull double-duty to bring the energy to their tag team.


I genuinely have no idea why they'd want to change a genuinely genius character as invented by Batman: The Animated Series of all things and turn her into something completely different, not to mention lesser in every way.


Because, despite the fact i agree with you, she sells product.
