Bio






I'm probably going to be one of the older members of this site. I've been roleplaying since Dungeons & Dragons had a Saturday morning cartoon on television. Yeah, I'm that old. I've been roleplaying online since 2001. I started in Yahoo chat rooms, and then around 2011 I was introduced to online forum roleplay. I tend to favor forum roleplay with multiple players than one-on-one games.

By this site's definition I am a Casual roleplayer as I may type anywhere from a few lines to a paragraph or two. It really depends on the game and the scene at the time. I tend to type less when my character is in a friendly conversation with another. Occasionally I may write three, four, or five paragraphs if so inspired.

I enjoy multiple settings with Modern/Slice of Life, Supernatural/Horror, Fantasy, and Superhero-themed being my faves.



Outside of roleplaying I enjoy television and movies, expanding my songs list on Spotify, and since last year, for better or worse, I've been watching a decent amount of cable news. I enjoy watching WWE, Supernatural, Arrow, The Flash, and The Daily Show. Animes I've enjoyed have been Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist, Parasyte: the Maxim, Tokyo Ghoul, and Sailor Moon (haven't seen the entire series). When it comes to music I'm mainly into Rock yet I will also listen to some Metal and Pop, and I'm a fan of 80's music.

I used to be really into comic books, but with today's prices a may just pick up the occasional graphic novel here and there. I'm more knowledgeable about Marvel characters than I am DC I believe. My favorite superhero is Spider-Man. Other characters I like are: Batman, the original New Warriors team, the original Thunderbolts team, the original Young Avengers team, and Young Justice (both the original comic & the animated series).

I thought it was a similar situation as with Spider-Man 2099 where blue was used as an accent for the black section and people just thought that it was blue, so that stuck with later incarnations.



While I haven't found a definitive answer for why Spidey's costume in red & blue, you are right. The costume was originally red and black. I never realized that....



As bad as I think Shazam is looking to be, I still believe nothing beats the lameness of the New Warriors casting.
I wanna say Erik Larsen was the first artist to change the blue in the classic Spidey costume to black... or at least made it a darker, near black...

The black & white costume will probably always be my fave Spidey costume. But, I also like the Ben Reilly/Mayday Parker costume.
Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio in Far From Home... maybe...

Oooh! Big Trouble In Little China is on IFC!
Toby Maguire made for a good nerdy Peter Parker.

Andrew Garfield really didn't do it for me, but I think he made a better Spider-Man than he did a Peter Parker.

Tom Holland was actually still a teen when filming Homecoming and he does a good job with the character of both Peter & Spidey. What I didn't like about Homecoming is:
1) Peter looked like he could wipe the floor with Flash Thompson. What the hell?!
2) Spidey relied more on the suit than his actual powers. He became less Spider-Man and more Iron Man Jr.
3) The Vulture learns Spidey's identity. After reading Ultimate Spider-Man I'm so sick and tired of every other villain learning Spidey's identity!
Damn. RIP to one of the co-creators of one of the defining characters of of my childhood.

Bloody hell... Are they alright?

My dog did eventually stop bleeding after we got home. Looks like he has an abscess on his backside that busted open.

My stepdad finally took a 'nerve pill' and is downstairs in the recliner. He's not in pain, he's just very uncomfortable. Hopefully he'll be knocked out for a few hours. He'll probably go to the nearby urgent care later this morning. Not that I believe they'll do anything for him. He's got an appointment with a neurologist, but that's not until September.
Welp.

Had to take my dog to the vet last night because he wouldn't stop bleeding, then the vet refused to see him because they were prepping for surgery. Then, my stepdad has as of yet undiagnosed trouble with his head so he has hasn't slept all night. Now I'm almost wide awake at about 4:15am.

So maybe I'll finish a CS so I can actually join this game...
