Re: [New Product] Champions Complete Just wanted to say I'm excited about this book, and I'll be buying it!

Re: Do you consider Batman to be a Gadgetee or something else? He's a gadgeteering detective. It kind of morphs together. Of course, the last few years, he's also super-martial artist.

Re: Star Hero 6E? The 6e book is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

Re: 6th edition Except that the Champions book references the APG, and kind of assumes you have it. Which was a dumb mistake, IMO.

Re: Star Trek Online gets Free To Play at 17. January 2012 If they gave some bennies to previous subscribers, I'd be more interested. As is, I'm not going to bother.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Finally saw X-Men: First Class over the holidays. It was very good. I think it's probably better than the original trilogy.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos Danny Kaye was awesome. Note the young Angela Lansbury, as well.

Re: Changes at Hero Sad news . I hope everything works out for everyone.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I rewatched Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. It was much better than I remember. I haven't seen it since it was in the theaters. Of course, I've read a lot more pulp since then. The movie really does hit on most of the pulp tropes, even the sorta fuzzy sepia tone similar to everything to some early films.

Re: A Thread for Random Videos Amanda Palmer is awesome! And she married Neil Gaiman, the lucky bastard.

Re: 80's Champions Stuff I remember from the 80's: Ronald Reagan Gorbachev "You're momma!" "Psyche!" GI Joe. He-Man. Thundercats. Parachute Pants. Japanese flag headbands. Big hair. D&D was sorta cool still. Jamboxes. Beatbox Breakdancing. Prince and the Revolution Madonna Def Leppard Genesis Van Halen Guns n Roses Motley Crue Metallica Cigarettes and chew were legal. Guys chewed in school, just weren't allowed to smoke.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I watched the first two episodes of "Once Upon a Time". GREAT SHOW. I highly recommend it!

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Dracula - Bela Lugosi version. I've never seen this movie before. It's really good.

Re: What Have You Watched Recently? I watched The Shining again last night. Still my favorite horror movie of all time. Jack's slow descent into madness is great, and the poor kid's random encounters with ghosts were freaky. Shelley Duvall's trying to deal with everything makes me feel bad for her. She ends up being stronger and more resourceful than she appears at first glance. I love how the old black cook also has the shining and comes to save the day, but gets an ax in his chest before he even knows what's really going on. Talk about smashing expectations of the viewer! Kubrick handled it amazingly well. Scatman Crothers was very likable and I always want him to succeed, even though I know what's coming. The scenes where Jack talks to the bartender and the previous caretaker are also really creepy. And the final shot of the 1921 photo is a perfect ending.
