Have I mentioned how awesome my day job is?

@Faceless I've been 90% silver since my 17th birthday. Count your blessings Nobody believes I'm in my mid thirties.

Found a cool word that basically means "shitting one's pants in public".

Friend doesn't believe that the word Is A Thing because the only google hit was The Urban Dictionary.

I produce the 1626 edition of The English Dictionarie: Or, an Interpreter of Hard English Words, The Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged. By H. C. Gent, which shows the word Was A Thing.

I realize I do research for fun.

What am I doing with my life?

And the word of the day is imbulbitate

There, fixed it

When a conversation with a co-worker over e-mail essentially devolves into us sending each other pictures of people wearing extreme rococo wigs.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
And the drivers are oh so spiteful
flipping birds at you as they go:
Fuck this snow, fuck this snow, fuck this snow.

To be honest, I was mainly looking for an excuse to use a picture of Rita Moreno today. Now I am happy.

@Kay ... it just dawned on me that I should tell you who he was I haven't had my caffeine dose today.

He played Surf (aka Dave) over at CC, and currently plays Mike Drakos over at CoMux, he asked me to let you know

Life got busy, I had a move, etc- long story shot, I was absent for quite a bit because real life. I got my bearings and managed to log back in to... yeah.

I met some cool people on '63, and Theorem was one of the best. I always felt bad that I couldn't spend as much time as I wanted to in-game, and with him. He was an absolute joy to RP with and he always made everybody feel welcome and included- I enjoyed chatting and hanging around with him just as much as I enjoyed being in-character. I'm sort of at a loss for words.

@ganymede Snyder is no longer attached to the DCEU as I understand it. JL was his last movie for them. So... here's hoping.

But hey, Wonder Woman didn't suck. It was actually pretty great. And I get to bask in the smug glow of the fact that DC has gone from "Nobody will want to watch a Wonder Woman movie!" to "Wonder Woman is the only thing that's working around here!"

Now let's hope WB is smart enough to let Patty do her stuff in fucking peace, because she's shown she knows what she's doing, and we'll hopefully keep getting more awesome Wonder Woman movies.

And the Amazons will probably go back to wearing their better costumes instead of those leather bikinis seriously Snyder/Whedon what the fu- aaaand breathing.....

Certainly understood. I know they're currently in need of a Raph on HeroMux right now, though. The Michaelangelo there is really an awesome guy, too. I don't know the others as well, yet. Also, I think the Mikey from BNW might be app'ing a character there now, too, and he's a great dude to play with.

The Mike there is pretty awesome, as is the Donatello there, too. RP with those two are one of the few things I'm going to miss.

Wow, he's so sexy he gave her a case of wall-eye.

That's Sue's attempt at not staring at his cod... piece.

He was one of my favorite people. He always made you feel welcome and tried his best to see how he could include you in whatever insanity was going on. We only started chatting last year but in that time I came to really like him.

He was awesome, warm, witty and he never stopped giving me guff for liking Sondheim. I wish I had been able to spend more time with him. I wish I had known him sooner.

As the title says, I'm looking for the player who played Booster Gold over at CoMUX and, earlier, HeroMUX.

Just in the odd, odd chance he ever happens to read this: Boo, I lost your email address when my computer fell into darkness and then came back as Windows 10. Over at CM, we just want to let you know that you rock and we miss you.

Feel free to drop by whenever you want.

Peace out,
Vorp.

It can be daunting... especially if you've never had a chance to play it (like me- always wanted to but could never find a group)- but I'm excited!
Well. Excited and scared.
And I know things now, many wonderful things...

MIKA's latest album... and I've gotten "No Place In Heaven" stuck in my mind as of late.

@Vorpal This is no Appeal to Tradition fallacy. This is 'I grew up with Iceman, and I want to interact with Iceman and be his best buddy for a few months'. OC Players cannot fight nostalgia with an OC and expect to win just on the merits of thinking they are awesome. I get they think their ideas are awesome, but sometimes other players just don't see it. Expecting everyone to be "OMG YES AN OC I NEVER MET BEFORE" to be the reaction, or else they are assholes, is just not fair, or reasonable, to say nothing of belittling just how much the love for some of these characters colors people's very desire to even play on Hero MUs. OCs sometimes have more difficult entry costs, and that is inherent to the nature of those games. Find the players like @Ganymede, who are plenty, and work from there! There are a lot of different people playing these games.

To be honest, I never start a game or an OC with the assumption that people are going to fall head-over-heels for my character. Nobody knows who the hell Y is, except me, and it really is up to me to prove whether or not the character is worthwhile for someone to make an acquaintance of. That's something I've always accepted and I don't really get put off by people's reticence in engaging with an OC. I do, however, find absolute loathing as a de-facto stance towards all OCs to be a sign of... well. The wheel may be turning, but the hamster inside the water bottle and turning purple.

Damnit, I keep meaning to visit this place and maybe applying, but life keeps crapping on me.

Tonight. I will log there tonight.

I'm going to give this a whirl

I think with anime themed games the world itself has to be huge, and more expansive than just the player characters. I would think a world like Full Metal Alchemist would work, because the main characters are cool but hardly the most only alchemists on the planet. There are a lot of problems that can be used on the grid and it allows for a wide variety of game play as a setting.

oooh, I'd totally go for a FMA setting...
