Re: The New Ghosts
I love these guys, particularly Pearl (yay dragons!) and Glass. I wonder what their rogues gallery would look like - I doubt the average meta would want to mess with the New Ghosts.

Re: [OZC!]The Challenge of Dawn - New Edition
Next chapter has the already-infamous Katana-pulling scene. What I find moderately odd is that Earth's spaceships open fire on him though. Granted, Phaeton's not answering hails and so on and headed straight for Earth, but still, that's a pretty hostile way to treat someone who's not actually done a...

Re: {General} Mad ideas
I bet someone like Andrews of Quartermass could whip up a device no bigger than a fancy bit of jewellery that would do precisely that in no time at all. In fact, the Spectral Shielding of the Experiment's main facility on the Shetlands nullifies all significant psychic mucking-about in a circular ar...

(despite being right, their ways were still savage if we plan to keep them along the same lines as the actual Inquisition) Actually I don't - considering there's actually something to prove here, you don't need to resort to oodles of brutal torture in order to get people to confess to something the...

Okay, I've probably missed out on something key here, but what exactly are these water nymphs? They sound intriguing, and also suspiciously like a suitable species to have Deep Diver come from, instead of just making her a Weird creation. Nymphs are womenfolk (and only womenfolk) with the abilities...

Re: {General} Mad ideas
Their lobster guardians would still be expecting the Spanish Inquisition, though. Actually, the Inquisition was far too busy rooting out actual dark sorcerors, vampires, werewolves and the like to bother much with the more mundane and benign supernatural. The way I'm seeing this, since there's actu...

Despite Shroom's openly-professed doubts I'm still convinced that it's a good idea to introduce the Nymph-city somewhere in the midst of the Mediterranean. You know, skyscraper-sized buildings constructed of water rising from the waves, with the city itself continuing all the way down to the bottom ...

Re: Official Movie Review Thread
No Country For Old Men is a pretty neat piece of film, which is fairly high praise considering I tend to have allergic reactions to most movies that win Oscars by the bucketload. Still doesn't top The Big Lebowsky of course, since that Coen Bro's movie is pretty much untoppable, but it's got shades...
