Could you mention Superman in a Spiderman comic?
I suppose that is true, as evidenced by pages such as this recent one: http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=32&issue=8 The uncola! Not the undead!

Could you mention Superman in a Spiderman comic?
You mean like how in the movie "Spider-man" Aunt May says "you're not superman, you know!"? I was thinking this myself when I was wondering if the webcomic Dr. McNinja may become an industry comic. He frequently mentions that he was trained by Batman. But then I realized that he actually uses the character Ronald McDonald so...

I think why most people hate the movie Venom is becayse they changed his role significantly. One thing the Spider-man series had been mostly faithful about was the characters roles. Doc Ock was changed completely, but he was still a mad scientist. Spider-man's role is that of the hero. Despite changes, there was astill a sense of familiarity to the character. However, I don't see where Sam Raimi gets off complaining about Venom's "lack of humanity" as a character when he takes all the humanity out by making this anti-hero into a full villain. Venom is this popular because he's a conflicted monster who struggles with his nature as well as his human desires and compassion. But in the movie? "I like being bad. It makes me feel good."

Okay, I agree completely with the fact that Gwen Stacy was just used wrongly. However, I don't agree with this comment. If I want the exact same experience as the original, I'll just read the comics again. I have no intention of shilling out 8 bucks for a newly released movie I've already seen. Okay, nowhere in the post am I asking for a verbatim copy. It's about not having much in the way of recognizable traits. [spoilersandstuff] I was talking about Gwen Stacy mostly. Personally, I think Venom doesn't fall under this, because he was never really in Sam Raimi's vision. Marvel strongarmed him into this movie. Also, while the comic book Venom was popular, the definitive pop-culture version of Venom that is responsible for most of his popularity has to be the animated series. And in that, he came from... the moon. In a rock. Yeah. It really just depends on what you view as the source material.

I fully support directors to make their own version. A wrongly used character is a wrongly used character, even if a previous version of the character exists. I've seen plenty of re-imagined characters that are better than their originals.

Greatest PnP RPG clich
I thought Wild Mages were unique to Baldur's Gate II. I played one of those, and it would generally have the wacky effect of instant death of the caster. Either that, or it would summon a horde of squirrels.

Greatest PnP RPG clich
I've done this one. Mostly because we attacked the pirates. I agree with this one. Why is True Neutral equivelent to Jedi? When I play a True Neutral character, he or she quite often gets angry or upset when the balance hangs in the balance (sorry).

Eels - I Like Birds I've been on a huge Eels kick ever since I heard their new song, Royal Pain. In fact, my mp3player has the entire eels discography on it, but nothing else.

It was a theory among me and a few friends of mine that girls who liked Orlando Bloom were closet lesbians. Seriously, he looks more like a girl than most girls do.

Are you a bot? Well, at least they do their research now. This is about an RPG, and this board has something to do with RPGs. The last time I came across a bot on a gaming forum it tried to sell me ground coffee.

Eels - Royal Pain Their new song from the Shrek the Third Soundtrack. It seems Eels are finally becoming bigger in the music scene again! If any band deserves it, it's Eels! And if this song is an indication of their next album, I'll be very happy indeed.

1. Yes, but it's rare. 2. As long as it's not goatse.cx or tubgirl, I'm up for it. 3. Originally it's trying to find information or like-minded individuals. Then, it switches to boredom. Also, I haven't a clue other than Obsidian. 4. Cardinair from Elysium RPG (forum no longer exists) because I wrote a lot of fun stories with him and we have good, fun conversations. HyperAuthor from the same forum, because of mostly the same reasons, although the things we wrote together didn't come near to the brilliance of her own stories. Also, she's a lot smarter than me and taught me a lot about life. Finally, there's - G R U N T - from forumsx.net, formerly known as war3.com. He's just so freaking hilarious. He's also incredibly supportive, more obsessive than I am, and an incredible artist (if he isn't working for the art department of a company like Blizzard in the future I will severely doubt that anything good can still come of this world). I don't really have any favourites from this forum because I honestly don't really know anyone. 5. Let's see. MacHead II from The Noosepaper. He built his own political forum with others (me among them) and we put a lot of work into it. Then, he must have suddenly realized that life sucks or something, because he suddenly just destroyed it. Not only that, but he went to other forums just to annoy the people who he had worked with. Then there's Grom/Massacre from forumsx because he used to be cool and tough, and now he throws he a hissy fit whenever someone comments on his hair or whatever. That's really all I can think of. I don't really hate people on forums (though sometimes I say otherwise). I sometimes dislike them, but that's often temporary until they make some funny comment or whatever and I like them again. I have a short attention span.

That pretty much goes for the comics too. Ghost Rider is just fugging awesome. Plot? We don't need no plot! We got a flamin' skull guy on a Harley* swingin' chains! *I don't know the first thing about motorcycles. It's probably not a Harley.
