    Try rubbing it. ::ducks thrown objects::

     

     

     

    I think these posters miss a couple of points. Veterans are not forced to accept care from VA hospitals. And Veterans can still choose to go to a regular hospital/clinic/doctor.

     

    Plus you have to ignore that series of stories on Walter Reed a couple of years ago. Wasn't the meme then that the VA hospitals were failing our veterans and providing inadequate care in filthy, third-world conditions?

    Agreed. Xykon has shown himself not to just be an a bad ass evil, but frighteningly self aware about his nature, and pretty damn insightful about others. Roy had it right, the lich is smarter than he looks. Among other things, Xykon knows the value of allies, as Redcloak's aid definitely puts this fight in favor of our undead baddie.

     

    I think one of the best quotes (and scenes in general) for Xykon is back in the Start of Darkness, when he says (during a fight):

     

    but see, I've learned a lot over the years since I died. A lot more than I learned during my life. And now I see that planning doesn't matter. Strategy doesn't matter.

     

    Only two things matter: Force in as great a concentration as you can manage, and style. And in a pinch, style can slide.

     

    Energy drain!

     

    In any battle, there's always a level of force against which no tactics can succeed.

     

    Xykon isn't stupid. He says that he doesn't care for tactics, or subtlety, or planning, and has no patience. But that's not the same thing as being stupid. He's just incredibly direct in his problem-solving methods, and tends to go with his first idea, trusting on his ability to concentrate force in order to ensure success.

    Yeah. That's. Wow.

     

    That's going to affect the ecosystem...

     

    My first thought was

     

    How many XP was casting that worth?

     

     

    The second thought was that V is, if not entirely turned to the dark side, certainly getting fitted for a black cloak and trying out different Sith names.

     

    Darth Suvie does have kind of a ring to it, doesn't it?

    Seems Bugsby is responsible for a number of useful spells. :winkgrin:

     

    Ah, but which is more useful - Bugsby's Flicking Finger, or Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion?

     

    I'd certainly never bother V in the morning. Or afternoon. Probably not until after dinner.

    Especially cool was the set-up. We were told back when he first showed up that

    the Cleric had prepared Remove Curse that day, and that he could use it to treat Belkar

    . Rich really knows how to set his ducks in a row. :)

     

    Can't wait to see what's next.

     

    I especially liked the passcode for Remove Curse.

    After the new one, I was wondering

     

     

     

    Celia can't be raised, and Hailey isn't planning on winning this fight, just delaying the inevitable. Anyone wondering if Celia isn't going to go back to the Nameless Cleric and tell him "Delay the sending. Unleash the self-named Sexy Shoeless God of War, so he can open a frost and long-delayed can of whup-a$$ on some rogues"?

    Looks like V's primary motivation is to find Haley; finding Roy is secondary.

     

    I think V's destination is to go completely 'round the bend, and start breaking the world in order to save it. Anyone else get the feeling that V is going to wind up committing some seriously evil acts in a couple comics?

    I'm beggining to wonder if V had a crush on either Haley or Roy. Or maybe V just takes friendships very seriously' date=' because he's getting more psychotic by the minute.[/quote']

     

    All work and no play makes V go crazy.

    New one is up. You'd think that eventually someone would learn enough cross-class skills to speak to NPCs, instead of leaving it to Elan.

     

    (And why do I keep hearing "It's not my fault. Really. It's not my fault." When did Elan's dialog start sounding like Harrison Ford?)
