Questions
I think a wile back you decided to stop drinking soda. Did you succeed? And if you did, were there any side affects or other differences you could feel?
Answered: Aug 21, 2017
I did quit. But started back up again recently... I need to quit again.
I lost a bit of weight, I felt a bit healthier but not much else. My body went through the ringer for a while. Once it regulated after not needing the caffeine it felt... different. I didn't need the caffeine but I wasn't more energetic either.

Questions
I had no choice but to go to the grocery store while very sick and I was excessively paranoid about getting *others* sick. Are you paranoid about Ru's health from people like me right now?
Answered: Aug 21, 2017
Not really. Kids get sick... It's something that happens. I'm not much of a worrier when it comes to that sort of thing. She does get pretty miserable when she's sick though... She just wants to be held.

Can Fly use Fly attack?
Answered: Aug 18, 2017
Sadly no. He uses Meander until he hits level 30. Then he evolves into Flyreon. Then he can learn all da attacks.
I hit level 30 in 6 days...

Some things you may (or not) know about me: Part 2.
1 week ago
Fly Keeper of BladesNews
16. I suffer from anxiety with a hint of depression.
17. I have the ability to leave my expectations at the door when I walk into a movie theater.
18. I have an eye for fashion.
19. I love to wear boots. I started wearing them about 10-11 years ago to be different and I fell in love. I now own about 10 pairs.
20. I was in a bank robbery: I was going to deposit my check one day and the bank was robbed while I was inside it. One man held up about 5-6 tellers. Believe it or not, there is a funny part to this story;
I walked in and people were crowded around the opening of the little maze thing you have to walk through at the bank.
^^^ Like these.
So I stood off to the side and I noticed there was only one guy being 'helped' (The bank robber). And I thought "Why is everyone standing around? There are so many tellers available..."
Then I noticed the teller the robber was at was crying, like full on sobbing and I saw the bank manager with her hand on the tellers shoulder. and then I thought: "Oh! That teller must have gotten some bad news. Like her dad died or something like that..."
Then the guy ran out of the bank.
That's when it hit me.
Then the bank manager started yelling "LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN LOCKDOWN! GRAB NEWSPAPERS AND THROW THEM OVER YOUR STATIONS! SEPARATE WITNESSES INTO OFFICES! NOW!"
I was whisked away into an office by a very nice woman, who said to me "Do you want anything to drink? I said I'd take a soda.
The nice lady came back with my soda and a worksheet that had a cartoon robber on it and weird little numbers and arrows pointing to different features. So you had to describe the bank robber to the best of your ability and then you had to sign and date the back and leave a phone number and address for them to call in case you needed to be a witness in court.
21. I will smoke a pipe on very, very, very rare occasions.
22. I used to do small woodworking projects (pre-Ruby) It's something I would enjoy getting back into.
23. I find fascination in what some people find alluring/attractive/arousing. Not because I find it arousing... but because I find it puzzling. I can't really explain it...
24. I really enjoy what I would classify as "Girl" pop: Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Kesha, etc.
25. I'm not a huge fan of coffee. Unless it's an iced mocha.
26. I love Hockey. Even though my team chokes it in the playoffs every year.
27. I ran Track and Cross Country my junior and senior years in high school but my freshman and sophomore years were dedicated to North American football.
28. I was short (5 ft in my freshman year, 5'2 my sophomore year, 5'4 my junior year) until my senior year in high school. I'm now over 6 ft.
29. I don't embarrass easily. Even though I'm very introverted. I can easily dismiss myself doing something super embarrassing as "I'll probably never see these people ever again." I normally have to reason with my anxiety over it but it's manageable.
30. I've done a ton of AMA's on this site. I still, to this day, go back and reread questions and answers. It's something weird and enjoyable that I like to do on this site.

Some things you may (or not) know about me: Part 1.
1 week ago
Fly Keeper of BladesNews
Since I'm turning 30 I figured I'd do a little post and show some of you the "real me"
1. I love comic books: That was a pretty easy one, right?
2. Batman (and anything related) is my favorite. Moving on...
3. Green Lantern is my second favorite DC superhero.
4. My favorite actor is Brad Pitt. I don't know why.
5. My favorite movie is Lucky Number Slevin. If you haven't seen it, please do.
6. My favorite film genre is Crime, followed by action.
7. I've never touched alcohol. I've seen it destroy too many people and I have an addictive personality.
8. I can throw knives, hatchets, tomahawks, etc. which brings me to...
9. The time I almost killed my father: My father is into French and Indian War reenactment. One day we were throwing knives, hatchets, tomahawks in the front lawn at a dying oak tree. My dad threw a knife while my back was turned (I was picking a weapon) and it took a crazy bounce behind the tree. I turned around with my dad's tomahawk, didn't see my father anywhere and I assumed he was inside. I squared up, gripped the tomahawk, raised it over my head and threw... at the exact moment my father stepped around the tree. I sunk a tomahawk in the tree to his left about 6 inches away from his chest.
10. I married a (one of the many girls) I had a crush on in high school.
11. I've ran the mile in under 5 minutes. I can't do it anymore... but it happened.
12. I might... Or might not... have stolen my child's name from a show on Rooster Teeth...
13. I listen to a lot of hip hop. Mostly Common, Lupe Fiasco, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar etc.
14. I'm a Christian. Believe it or not.
15. When I was 10 I thought I killed myself: So I was climbing a tree and I was maybe about 10-12 feet in the air when a limb snapped. I landed directly on my back and it knocked the wind out of me. I had never experienced that feeling before, and I, being young and dumb immediately thought that I was most definitely dying. So I laid there holding that stupid branch, thinking my parents were going to find me dead next to the tree in our back yard.

Staying cool for the summer (A style guide) + a special guest appearance.
1 month ago
Fly Keeper of BladesNews
*WALL OF TEXT INCOMING*
It's the middle of the Summer. It's freakin' hot and very uncomfortable, right? Humidity is wreaking havoc, and the sun feels like it's camping on the top of your skull. BTW: How do people enjoy the summer? They stay cool.
I'm going to give you an idea what we call "Summer Staples". I'm going to throw 2 shirts at you, 2 bottoms (shorts and pants) and two pairs of shoes at you. These are going to be super simple and EXTREMELY easy to pull off. You can literally wear each top (shirt) with each bottom (pants/shorts) with each pair of shoes. Mix and match and you can have multiple outfits and still be cool, both literally and figuratively
1) Shirts
I suggest a breezy button up shirt. Now you can literally find these... Anywhere. In any price range. Since I don't know your price range I'm going to give you a couple tips.
A. The less pockets the better.
B. Try a slimmer cut
Both of those things add bulk which doesn't make you look cool even if you are.
This one from Guess Factory is currently on sale for roughly $20. (Don't button the collar. and maybe leave that next one unbuttoned too) Breezy, remember?
Another top I'm going to suggest... Is a bit risky. I mean I don't know if you're ready for it. It's pretty much the top tier in fashion right now... It's complicated, flashy, and the epitome of cool.
It's a white... T shirt
Seriously. We all have one... they're ridiculously comfortable, they go with everything, and fairly cheap. Spring for a full white t-shirt and not the pack of undershirts in the underwear aisle. Trust me here.
It can be any color (cooler colors preferable)... It doesn't have to be white but James Dean wore white t-shirts. You should too.
2) Bottoms
Now khaki shorts... Deep breath everyone... I don't want you wearing cargo shorts. And I don't want you wearing long shorts. I want your shorts to stop at or above the knee. Like this.
Remember how I said pockets would make you look bulky? This streamlined khaki short will make you appear taller, thinner, and cooler. Old Navy has a very similar pair to this for $20
Now take a pair of chinos like these
and pair them with literally anything. Wear them like lightweight jeans... They're the swiss army knife of fashion (I prefer American Eagle's slim straight fit). But all of these are beige/tan/light brown etc. Chinos come in every color. Google *-insert color here- mens chinos*. Go ahead. I'll wait...
................................................................................................
SEE! I told you so!
3) Shoes
Now lastly. Shoes. I love shoes. I mostly love boots. Because boots are cool (Matt Smith made me say that.)
And because I love boots of all styles and shapes I'm going to recommend a pair. Your mind just shut off for a second right? You thought: "Boots with shorts? Nope. I'm out."
I bring to you. The chukka boot. Perfected by Clarks.
These boots were originally worn by British forces in World War II during the Western Desert Campaign. Now these are a bit pricey... But they're an amazing shoe that gets more comfortable the more you wear it. Plus it's super lightweight! That's actually saying something for a boot!
and Lastly a shoe that is now considered a timeless piece. A white athletic shoe.
I introduce: The Nike Air Force 1 low
This low profile shoe is perfect for every casual occasion. It goes great with shorts or chinos or jeans. Prefer something a bit different?
Try some white Chuck Taylors out
They're on Amazon in just about every size!
TL:DR Keep stuff cool, easy, and breezy, try stick to neutral colors (brown, white, gray, black) because they're versatile, classics are always cool!
And because the site has it's very own Fashion Guru, @ailsarocks, I enlisted her help... Here is her tip for guys and girls...
My main tip for summer for all genders is to concentrate on light, natural fabrics, such as linen or cotton. These are breathable (unlike fabrics like acrylic or polyester) and will keep you cool when the weather gets toasty. Same with colours. Keep it light: white, cream, nude or natural tones and tan will not attract the sun's heat the same as darker colours will. And lastly, loose layers. That's the best advice I can give you. A light coloured linen shirt over a linen/cotton blend blazer with light cotton chinos. Accessorize with some good quality brown leather, whether that's sandals, light brogues and a belt for those totes adorbs chinos. Yes. You can always take layers off when you get too warm or layer back up if it's cooler at night. It is possible to be practical and stylish all at once!
Thank you for taking the time to read this! Are you going to try this out? Any new ideas? Any and all feedback welcome!!!

Do you have any tattoos? If not would you consider getting one? If so of what?
| Asked by: DrHairz 2 months ago
I currently have 4 tattoos. I want so many more.
1. One representing Ruby, and adding 3 solid bands on my right arm.
2. Get the Yang symbol on my left shoulder...
3. Greg Capullo's Bat/Joker laughing symbol.
Etc, etc, etc

I'd ask my mother why she always comes across as cold and emotionless.
| Asked by: EricHVela 2 months ago
I don't think I could do it. Ruby is at that age where she's making friends... Raising a child on Mars without any other kids would be terrible for her socially.
You know what Elton John says:
Mars ain't the type of place to raise your kids.

*cracks knuckles*
I thought you'd never ask. I know that she has a youtube account called Chez Lindsay and that she has a twitter account known as @TheLindsayEllis. She has also been known to go as "Nostalgia Chick" from what I've gathered from my sources(Google).
She's actually rather cute when she... Well, isn't looking like this.
Do you have any superstitions surrounding general life?

Not really. I find that if you don't believe in superstitions and don't buy into the number 13, black cats, and walking under ladders nothing bad ever comes from it.

I prefer tanks. So Barbarians, Fighters, or Paladins. Although I am not opposed to playing something completely out of my comfort zone like Ranger, Rogue, Druid or even Bard...

Might not be this year... We'd have to travel with Ru or find someone able to watch her for the weekend and we haven't been away from home with or without her.
Do you have a favorite story that you like to read to Ruby?
| Asked by: Lamkia 4 months ago
Goodnight Moon is one of her favorites. She likes Dr. Seuss books as well. Probably because she likes to listen to dad sound like an idiot. She just likes being read to. She gets this goofy smile on her face and relaxes.
How are the workout sessions going?
| Asked by: LCPeter 4 months ago
Less frequent. Work has become a bummer that saps practically all of my energy while there. Ruby is constantly into everything and she has started climbing the couch, and I hurt my back pretty badly about a month ago. It's gotten better but it tends to act up pretty bad every once in a while.
What's your favorite comic-book location? What is one you would choose to live in/at?
| Asked by: AgentWashingtub008 6 months ago
Heroic Adventures in Illinois. They're graphic novel/ trade paperback selection is immense. If they don't have it they can try to get it for you. If I had to choose I might pick The Secret Stash

It has. But I don't really play betas that much. It seems interesting and I might jump on... I think the last beta I played was The Division. The last one before that was Destiny.
| Asked by: Jianju 6 months ago
Umm. Not really. St. Louis has some things I'm sure, but driving through St. Louis is a nightmare. We have an annual 4th of July weekend fair where all of the people I went to school with go to get drunk... about 45 minutes away there is an annual festival known as Strange Folk where different crafts and things are sold by craftmakers and artists. Kinda like an open air Etsy. That's pretty neat.
Do you have a favourite music genre, and if so which artists do you like within said genre?
| Asked by: LCPeter 6 months ago
I don't. I listen to whatever. I mean that very seriously, not like that person in High School who says they like everything and then you make up a fake band name and they say "Oh I love them!"
I grew up around rockabilly: Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Obrison, Hank Williams and Chuck Berry. Artists of that nature...
But my grandma listened to Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. you know... Rat pack stuff. But she also listened to artists like Ray Charles, Quincy Jones and B.B. King
I picked up on 70's era rock from my dad: Led Zeppelin, Tom Petty, The Doors, The Who, Hendrix, Joplin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, CSN&Y, Elton John, Billy Joel and even some Beatles stuff.
My mother loved the Rolling Stones, Bowie, Queen, Fleetwood Mac etc.
I found punk very intriguing after listening to The Clash. So I picked up stuff by the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Dead Kennedy's etc. Through that I found pop punk stuff (which I liked better than actual punk) So Fallout Boy, Lucky Boys Confusion, Rufio, Cartel, HelloGoodbye, Starting Line etc.
Eventually I started talking to indie girls and seeing what they liked (mostly because I found them cute) That's how I found Ok Go, Mae, Copeland, Straylight Run, Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, Gavin Degraw etc. Also known to me as "piano rock"
I started looking for something different and stumbled upon bands like Saosin, Atreyu, Every Time I Die, Maylene and The Sons of Disaster, Gallows, Norma Jean, Underoath, August Burns Red, Devil Wears Prada... etc.
Not too long after that I started listening to hip hop. This one has stuck with me the most... Common, Twista, Old Kanye (first 3 albums only), Jay Z's Blueprint albums, Eminem, Kid Cudi, Wale, Drake, Childish Gambino, Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar, Chance The Rapper, Future, MGK, Mac Miller, and a very little bit of Wiz. I don't smoke nearly enough pot for Wiz...
But I still listen to everything. I just find that certain music fits certain moods and situations better.
How are you the Keeper of Blades?
| Asked by: DrHairz 6 months ago
It's a bit of a joke. The Oxford Comma Cafe, my all time favorite forum on the site has a running gag of "initiating" our newcomers through a bit of a sacrifice.
I jokingly gave a few of us that were in the original OCC (before the site switched over) a "Keeper" title. So I became the metaphorical "Keeper" of our sacrificial blade.
TLDR: It's a dumb inside joke. Fear not.
If you could adapt any comic into a video game, which comic would it be?
| Asked by: Cinomari 6 months ago
Ugh. This is a difficult question. Like very VERY difficult.
I could go two routes here. and since I'm not quite sure on the way that the question is framed. I'll write both out.
If I could adapt any comic series into a video game, I'd put together co-op version of an X-men game. You and up to three friends have to fight the Mutant Brotherhood to stop them from yada yada yada. The more players you have, the more devastating combos you can perform. Fastball Special anyone? Trick being you will encounter tougher and smarter enemies with more people in the game. Imagine an X-men game like Diablo/Borderlands. Of course, this game has already been done in the form of X-Men Legends. I'd just really like a remaster or even a new game in this style.
If I could adapt any comic arc or storyline I'd put together a two campaign single player game. In the Civil War storylines. You pick a side: Team Cap or Team Iron Man and play as various team members in various missions. Either freeing or capturing renegade super powered beings. You would have the ability to "command" other super powered individuals on your side kinda like Mass Effect: Go here, use this power, flank enemies from that side, etc.

Anytime I meet or chat with a community member. It is so surreal to me that I can hardly believe it. Almost two years ago I went down to Memphis and met two community members there and had a fantastic time. That also happened to be the weekend after my wife and I's successful IUI attempt.
Since then I've played D&D with community members, chatted over Skypee, and played online games with them. I've noticed and been noticed RT merch 'in the wild' and had a couple of quick conversations about how they happened to find RT.
So, in short, the coolest thing about being an RT fan is meeting the community members.
| Asked by: Ratatoskr 7 months ago
I would say yes in the long run... I never went to college, but I know there are areas and jobs in my plant that I am not able to apply for because I don't have a degree.

How has your exercise/workout routine been treating you or have you started yet?

| Asked by: Izayer 8 months ago
I think the games are accurate to an extent. Arkham Asylum and Arkham City for sure. Both of those were written by Paul Dini, who was a writer for many, many episodes of Batman The Animated Series. The action in the games is very fluid, but something difficult to capture in any medium is just how smart Batman is. The games push you to use "Detective Mode" and lens filters on said mode.
I don't know if we'll have many more Batman games to be honest. Rocksteady finished their trilogy, Telltale's about to wrap up their series (If they haven't already). There's always Lego Batman I guess...
I think the most accurate Batman is Affleck. He has the physicality, the fluidity... We just need more detective work, less killing, and more Batman bringing the hurt on bad guys. He's so brutal...
| Asked by: mattyou 8 months ago
I strongly doubt it. While the MCU is connected to the shows on Netflix and Agents of Shield... I HIGHLY doubt we're going to see Daredevil, The Punisher, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Robbie Reyes, Deathlok, etc, etc, etc.
Why? Because all of these are lesser known characters that might seem like risks in the movie universe. Look at the failures these names have brought upon the Marvel name in the past: Daredevil, The Punisher, Ghost Rider... While they're doing great now, on Netflix... I don't think they'll translate very well to the cinema.
For instance... Getting my stepdad to watch Iron Man was like pulling teeth. When he watched it, though... He loved it. He liked Captain America The First Avenger until Hydra's blue laser beam cannons.
He hasn't watched another one since. Now place yourself in the shoes of every person who hasn't dedicated 52 hours of their life to watch Daredevil season 1 and 2, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. They know practically nothing of these characters... While Netflix is giving them a perfect platform to show you 13 hours of what makes that character tick, a 2 hour movie would have to be EXTREMELY well written. and while Bog Iger said "If these characters become popular enough, they might get their own movies" I don't see them getting that popular.
Go ask your 6 year old cousin who their favorite superhero is. Now go ask your 85 year old grandma. Are they Daredevil or Ghost Rider? Probably not. Marvel is owned by Disney and you have to see that they're looking at this like a business, not comic book fans.
Would it be amazing to see? Of course!
Would I love to see it? Absolutely
But Will it happen? Probably not. Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams... but I don't see it in the 'bigger picture'

Top 5 Christmas films... Prepare yourself for a VERY unorthodox list.
5. Home Alone: I was never a fan of Macaulay Culkin... But was a big fan of Joe Pesci. I have no idea why... But seeing a kid set traps that, in todays world, would end with him being sent to Guantanamo sounds like a Christmas classic to me!
4. Harry Potter Series: I always found it odd that I loved watching the Harry Potter movies during Christmas time... but I guess it makes sense. There seems to be either Christmas presents being exchanged or Snow in just about every one of them...
3. Muppet's A Christmas Carol: I love the Muppets. End of story
2. Gremlins: Ah... Mogwais... Gotta love em!
1. Die Hard and Die Hard 2: If you don't watch Die Hard every year on Christmas Eve... You cannot hang with my family. This movie is tradition.
I assume you could make a human Fighter or Rogue with really high STR, CON, WIS, and DEX. You can either buy some black clothes or take the Criminal background and they're given to you... Take proficiency in Stealth, Perception, Intimidation, Athletics and Acrobatics... I guess technically you could make a Batman-esque character. It would probably help if you rolled all 18's though.
and I'm going to bet we are! Eric and Lance are down... we seem to have pinned Ooaul into our group (as a bard) as well. I'll assume you're going to be there as well... and I'll (most likely) arrive fashionably late as always.

Dang... That's a tough one. I'd like to wait for Ruby to be old enough to at least remember some of it. But what I really want to do is have all 3 of us go backpacking through Europe together... Problem being, I'd want her to be in her late teens... and I don't think she'd have a great time backpacking through Europe with her parents. I can remember being 15-18 and not wanting to be around my parents. Hopefully we can head off the "I hate my parents" stage.
What have been your favourite movies of the last year?

I haven't seen that many actually. In no particular order...
I saw:

Batman V Superman

I think my least favorite was Suicide Squad... But I still liked it.

Do you want a real explanation? Or a fake one? Because I can bring a fake one to the table...
Fake explanation: Baytor, a demon from the underworld being released, enslaved all of Gotham using mind control and turned everyone in the city into squawking speakers in order to glorify himself and to throw off the character invoking God's Wrath in all of the continuities and timelines and earths in the DC Universe in the sole attempt of redeeming their earthly form to rid themselves of all of the evil done in their past lives... (A.K.A. The Spectre)
Real explanation: Baytor is a demon from the DC Universe.
I believe he even ruled Hell at one point in time... Problem being Baytor doesn't have much of a vocabulary... His main focus being the words "I" "am" and almost always followed by a "Baytor". Sure the man of few words has said other things... but these are the most frequent.
Remind you of someone?
Anyway... The Spectre (Also known as one of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe and he also happens to be God's Wrath Incarnate) happened to be in Gotham at the same time as Baytor. So, Baytor, being a demon and being a not-so-good individual was approached (along with three of his 'friends') by The Spectre on the sole mission of removing the demon spirit from Earth...
Problem is The Spectre didn't have any idea what Baytor actually looked like. So The Spectre approached the four and asked "Which of you is Baytor?" Baytor being the one with the vocabulary limited to not much more than "I am Baytor" spilled the beans. Then one of his buddies said:
At this point other Gothamites started shouting "I am Baytor!" To keep The Spectre from taking the demon... Even Bats:
Why you may ask... I don't really know... But I do know that Batman and The Spectre aren't on the best terms.
Get the point?
In a variation of a previous question: What are you looking forward to most with Ruby?
| Asked by: EricHVela 8 months ago
Her actually talking. She says 'Dada' when she sees me, 'Mama' when she's upset or hungry, and 'Baba' when she gets a bottle. But I honestly cannot wait for her to string together a sentence like "I love you Daddy"
What is your Top 5 Favorite video games? (In order if possible)
| Asked by: DrHairz 8 months ago
5. Assassins Creed
4. Saints Row series
3. Batman Arkham series
2. Any Telltale game
1. Mass Effect series
| Asked by: DrHairz 8 months ago
I think a lot of it has to do with how far people take it...
I believe "fandom" has to do with someone loving something openly (sometimes extremely so). Thoroughly enjoying everything they get from it. The enthusiasm while partaking in whatever it may be is different than say an 'obsession'
I see an obsession as taking things too far. Like
Let's say a 'fan' and an 'obsessive' both watch RWBY.
The fan might put off some social or other engagements on Saturday so they can see the newest episode of RWBY when it airs.
An obsessive might watch shut out the entire world while watching RWBY while cosplaying their favorite character and having their name legally changed to "Ruby Rose" and fall in love with Juane De Arc. And want to marry him in a RWBY themed wedding, and havy little baby Hunters and Huntresses... You get the point.
The difference can be very difficult to find. Obviously my examples are extremes...
TLDR; Fans really like something and enjoy it. Sometimes to the point of elitism. Obsessives take it to the point where they eat, sleep, breathe and live something. It's something you cannot survive without.
| Asked by: AgentWashingtub008 8 months ago
It's very difficult to think of a fairy tale or legend that hasn't already been told... But I've always been a fan of mythology. Disney tried with Hercules, but I wouldn't mind seeing more Greek mythology... Or maybe even some Egyptian mythology made into a movie...
And The Lion King was based off of Hamlet I believe...
Do you play video games? If you do, what is your all time favorite game?
| Asked by: j_pfeifer22 8 months ago
I do play games, although, not as much as I once did due to being a parent.
I think my all around favorite would be the Mass Effect Trilogy.
| Asked by: EricHVela 8 months ago
What would I wish my employment to be...
Window repair man. So many windows get broken...
Is there such a thing as Superhero Destruction Insurance? Ooo. Or a contractor. As long as buildings are getting destroyed, there's always going to need to be someone to keep putting them up.
| Asked by: EricHVela 8 months ago
Well, I saw your post in the OCC against The Hulk. As far as I know absorbption would be very difficult. The Hulk's skin is impenetrable (depending on what storyline you follow).
In DC there is a villain known as Starro. I gigantic starfish that has babies that attach themselves to people. When attached Starro takes control of that persons mind. Those 'infected' gain the same abilities as the person pre-starfish/facehugger. There have been countless times Starro 'turned' many members of the JLA.
It would be very interesting if The Thing took over Starro... *shudders*
I can't really answer for Marvel... I don't know if they have a similar thing or not.
There was at one time a comic series based off of the John Carpenter movie but that was in the early 90's I believe...
| Asked by: Cinomari 8 months ago
My advice would be to start at the beginning! In 2011 DC relaunched fifty two new titles and dubbed it The New 52. For starters I would recommend Batman The Court of Owls Vol 1 (New 52), Action Comics vol 1. And for something completely awesome, DC Comics: Bombshells Enlisted. It is just female superheroes set in World War 2 era. It's an interesting take.
If DC isn't your groove I would recommend Marvel's Civil War, Old Man Logan, Deadpool written by Brian Posehn, and the X-men run written by Joss Whedon.
If superheroes aren't your digs I recommend looking into Image comics: The Walking Dead (black and white so the gore is turned down... but graphic language), Nailbiter (gory but an amazing story), and Saga (Graphic gore, sex, violence, everything... but possibly the best writing in comics right now.)
Send me a PM and I'll give you a list of where to start!
| Asked by: EricHVela 8 months ago
I've always been a fan of fantasy stuff... So somewhere along the lines of Hogsmeade or Diagon Alley most likely.
Do you have a favourite sport?
| Asked by: LCPeter 8 months ago
Hockey. I like "North American" football, and basketball as well.
| Asked by: AgentWashingtub008 9 months ago
This question took me a month to answer. Are you happy!? And I still don't have a clear answer for you...
There are lots of comic book heroes I'd love to see on the big screen. But there is one idea I've been thinking about for a while now. I've seen two fan theories that Cable and Deathstroke should be played by Jon Hamm.
Well Joe Manganiello has already been cast as Deathstroke... but if someone at WB was smart, they'd pick up Jon Hamm to play The Question. A gritty noir tale about an OCD shizophrenic that believes every conspiracy theory that he crosses paths with... and wears a mask to make him look like a faceless man.
| Asked by: DrHairz 8 months ago
Hmm. The year after I graduated high school I asked my mother (an English teacher) for graphic novels. She bought me Batman Long Halloween, Batman Year One and The Watchmen. She's partially the reason I'm into graphic novels/ trade paperbacks.
She also bought me a kindle... which I was using until fairly recently.
I don't like to think of presents as 'the worst'... But if I had to pick it would be along the lines of socks (Which I've come to enjoy in my 'older' age)
| Asked by: Ratatoskr 8 months ago
I don't know. I've never really been a fan of horror movies... I enjoyed the OG horror movies: Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy, etc. But I don't know... perhaps Cabin in The Woods? Underground bunker sort of thing? That's probably been my favorite horror movie in the past 10 years...
Does bacon covered in honey sound good?

Not only does it sound good... But it is good. I have had it. The sweetness of the honey compliments the salty bacon very well.

After 7. And I can only play for maybe 2 matches. I strongly suggest the Arena game type... We should also round out our team of 5 with at least one or two Guardians and warriors with a couple of Hunters and Mages. I've been using Apollo (Hunter/ ranged DPS) and Ares (heavy Attucks with a decent buff) and Ymir (offensive tank)
Give me one of those gods and I should be pretty good to go. Overall I've played Apollo the most...

So if you hadn't noticed yet, Xur has Obsidian Mind. If you aren't busy i would appreciate some help in retrieving it, it sounded like a very good idea for my Warlock. Now, seeing as i only have 16 strange coins and have yet to do the weekly for those coins it would be best to complete on level 30 so i can aquire the 9 coins. If not, then i guess i wait a while longer for it, aaannnnd oh well...
