Re: Jonny Quest Johnny Quest thinks we're sell-outs. But yeah, when I was a kid I loved the revamped version of the show.

Re: orichalcum The pronunciation that always annoyed me the most was Blackguard.

Re: Infinite Crisis All I really knew of DC was the old Batman cartoon, and the novelizations of Batman and Superman's "deaths" when I was like 12.

Re: Infinite Crisis Actually, the first comic book I picked up in YEARS was the Countdown to Infinite Crisis thing with Blue Beetle and I've been hooked since.

Re: Marvel Universe Question There's also the point that the Ultimates line is an attempt to make things at least somewhat more realistic.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Again, we differ in opinion here. I actually enjoy reading the Shannara books. Well, I haven't read any since I was like 16, but I remember them as being fun reads.
-
Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Because I can't personally stand Howard's writing style. Nothing about the writing grabs at all. And the "hero" is so far different from me in values that I usually find myself wishing he'd just get killed and finish the whole thing.

Re: The prescient Mr Staplehurst No, they were wiped out early on by fire. Once the locals realized arrows were ineffective.

Re: Character: Marie Sanguine Looks nice. And the picture is a real winner.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Yeah, I definately think they are "good" books. But I don't enjoy reading them. And being in school my life is filled with enough unenjoyable stuff. I want my fiction to be entertaining, not depressing.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? That's kind of my point man. I'd read like five pages and be so utterly bored I'd put it down until the next day and try to wade through it again.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Odd, it takes me about a week to wade through a typical Conan story. Where-as these days I can bust through the entire LotR trilogy in a month or less.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Before I fully wrapped my head around the concept of how highly subjective art really is, I bashed Howard whenever I could.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? But that has more to do with how aggressive the Tolkien estate is in protecting their copyrights.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Oddly enough, you hit the nail on the head as to why I prefer Tolkien. I like the approach where he backs away from the characters and focuses more on the world and the story itself. And the most annoying part for me when trying to read a Conan story is Howard's constant preaching about barbarians and society and the like.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra could be considered sci-fi. Not that I would, definately more fantastic than scientific, but I can see where people would get that idea. Hideous Strength though is definately fantasy leaning though. It even features the most famous wizard of all time.

Re: Robert E Howard or J.R.R. Tolkien? Tolkien hands down. Though I still prefer Lewis to him. For some reason I just can't read Howard. Or Lovecraft for that matter. Just boring to me.

Re: Sci-fi swear words? Yeah, I know that rut is an actual term for intercourse. But you don't normally here people say "rutting engine" or whatever.

Re: Sci-fi swear words? Firefly had pseudo-profanity all over the place. Goram - GD Rut - used in place of the eff word And more that I can't remember off hand. Curse loaning my DVDs out.

Re: Rocketmen Hero? Anyone done any work on HEROing the game for RPing?
