How can you run out of thanks all the time? You're such a thanking whore.

Indeed. It would have been better if it wasn't trying to lip sync.
But it was made using clips from one of the High School Musical films... wasn't it?

I guess that leaves the floor open for MCJ. Better not be wrong, or it'd be pretty embarrassing.

Oi.
I'm now an Ophiuchus. Along with Ville and Calza I guess.
You used to be cool, Shorty.
Now, not so much. Please go away.

Yeah, that's not how links work, Daft.

Until I scrolled down, I was all, "she's taking the train to go look at pigeons?".
Of course, the pigeons are cuter...

Astrology, God, stars... there's something there.

Yes this whole thing annoys me muchly, it has ruined my very core and shattered me, I used to be a Gemini and now I'm a fucking Taurus.
A FUCKING BULL!?
Grr.

Could be worse - you could be an Ophiuchus.

Eh, it wouldn't do any good. Whenever I point out the flaws in the silly things some of my Facebook friends are into, they "don't take it that seriously".
But the next time a horoscope manages to be right or whatever, it's SO COOL.

I never owned a PS2, ultimately because I still don't like the controller (even after years of using one for pro evo, fifa, a few other games) and because the system never clicked with me. However, I want to play 2 and possibly the original. I've not heard good things about 3, though, onwards.
You should play 2 and 3 and skip the original instead. It's kind of adorable in its PS1-ness, but the story is so badly told that it's hard to take any of it seriously.
3 is actually pretty good (and makes sense of the story in the original), though it's not quite as atmospheric as 2.

The first season of Breaking Bad was a victim of the writers' strike, hence why it ends very suddenly halfway through the season.
It does get better as it goes on. After the first season, the episodes pretty much stop being 'Hank uses science to save the day' and they're not as stand-alone anymore.

I played the first four chapters tonight, and I'm really enjoying the game so far. As Mike says, the trial and error may get annoying later on, but so far, restarting as only meant replaying a minute or two.
The story is also really intriguing, and I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

Spider sense makes total sense. Spiders are always tense.
Spider sense makes total sense:
Helps him fight with great defense.
Web shooters? That's common sense.
Web-swinging adds much suspense.
Sex with model - so intense!
Saved his aunt at great expense.

But surely that's because they can feel when their web is moving? Which isn't really anything like Spider-Man's spider sense, which can somehow analyze if something is a threat to him and warn him.
But to be fair, I don't recall if the movies ever really addressed his spider sense, nor if Ultimate Spider-Man did either. If they didn't, I think that's a much better way to go about it. Have Spider-Man get out of harm's way because he has fast reflexes or something, instead of trying to create some sort of power that doesn't really fit the spider theme anyway, and which only works when the plot calls for it.
Mostly I'm just bitter because most of my contact with Spider-Man these days comes from occasionally checking out the newspaper strip, in which his spider sense will warn him one day, only for him to get knocked unconscious by a man without super powers (or a brick) the next.
To sum up, I hope they don't mention his spider sense in the new movie.

I always preferred the organic web shooter idea as well. "You get all the powers of a spider! Wall crawling ability, super strength, incredible balance ... what, web? Who knows a spider for it's web, anyway? You're gonna have to figure that one out yourself, buddy."
"Spider sense, because apparently spiders can sense danger, hence why they're nearly impossible to squash."
Of course, the spider sense only works when the plot calls for it anyway.

Celebrating Four Years of Humour.
Oh, is that what it's supposed to be?

I think he was complaining about the design not the purpose darling.
At least he's not wearing a cape.

It's more a matter of not remembering because it's been years since I read it. I just remembered that the explanation was better than 'boy genius creates genius thing'.
Actually that epiphany thing doesn't sound so great, either. I'll have to reread it, I guess. :p

Spring Mario only appears in a single level in the sequel, though. Hardly a very good reason to give up on the game. :p

5 looks like Star Fox. That's the only screenshot that's familiar at first glance.

He still "invents" it in Ultimate Spider-Man, only it's SLIGHTLY more realistic in that it was actually an old project of his father's.
I know, but I still found that better than the original explanation. Like having spider powers made him understand what was wrong with the chemical compound, or whatever the explanation was in Ultimate Spider-Man. I still prefer organic web shooters, but at least it made a bit more sense.
Regarding 'grounded', I was mostly referring to intelligence. Ultimate Spider-Man feels a lot more realistic in that regard. I don't think a lot of teenagers would be able to create something like the web fluid from scratch, genius or no.
Never mind the fact that the supposedly genius Amazing Spider-Man is the same person who made a deal with the Devil and who spends most of his time in the newspaper strip yelling at the television and getting hit in the head with bricks.

Yeah, having it completely unrelated to the spider bite doesn't really make it any better.
So a radioactive spider bites a kid in high school, and then he thinks, "you know what? I'm going to create this web-like substance that no one else has ever thought to create and it's going to be SUPER AWESOME and I'm going to put it in a machine that I'll put around my wrist so I can shoot it all over the place! This'll go perfect with the super powers that I also have now! Well, I'm off to work on my PhD now!"
I guess I just prefer the more grounded Ultimate Spider-Man.
-
It never made any sense to me that the spider bite gave Peter the power to create mechanical web shooters, so I actually liked the organic web shooters in the other movies.
Oh well.
Its confirmed yo.I didn't know this. That's actually kind of exciting. I always preferred the Ultimate version of Aunt May over the perpetually dying regular one.

I'm very jealous of your continued success.
I'm not near London, but I hope some of the people who are check out your play. Best of luck.![:)](https://forum.n-europe.com/uploads/emoticons/smile.gif)
