Current Ever had that moment were you've just lost a battle of wills with your dog and think to yourself, "maybe I should be the one sleeping on the floor"? I have. It's oddly liberating.

My Lit Lecturer used Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run to display the effect of narratology in class today. It's the first thing he's spoken about all term that I've actually read.

How good is the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil series? "Just some guys who are about to walk into a diner for the last time." That line is so manly it could make a toddler sprout a beard.

The Justice League trailer is giving me mixed emotions. On the one hand, I desperately want to get hyped. On the other, Snyder and co have burnt me too many times in the past. I'm a conflicted mess.

What? The Lethal Weapon tv show isn't utter garbage at all, instead being an enjoyable watch. What the fuck is the world coming to?

For all you know I'm handsome as hell. Let's keep it that way.

D'awww, Balak has a crush on Alria. That makes the Ellis-Sicaria-Alria love triangle a Ellis-Sicaria-Alria-Balak love square! It's like high-school!
@Leos Klien Grand, thank you.

@The Spectre It's been 11 days since you last posted in the IC. Need to see something from you before that counter hits 14.
@Kalas I've got a mate who swears by tesco's extra blackcurrant and apple as the perfect cutting agent for any sort of snakebite. Was never for me though. I found it just adds an extra dimension of flavour to the mix, while what I want is something that masks it completely. That's why I went with Red Bull. It was - relatively - expensive, and I really hate the stuff on its own, but its got a distinct enough flavour to completely cover the rancid acidity of any white cider. Funnily enough that mate who swore by the TExtra blackcurrant and apple is now in his mid thirties, and yet cheap ass snakebite with diluting juice is still his tipple of choice. Some people just hate themselves I guess.

Oh yeah, I feel ya. Me and my mates were absolutely terrible to each other when we got to drinking. One guy made it his life mission to shit-rim your glass every time you left it unattended. Every. Single. TIME. Regardless of where you where, whether it be at a homer, down the local, or in an upscale club - I used the term loosely as there's no such thing as an upscale anything in Inverness - if you put your glass down anywhere near him, that was it, all bets were off. I still wont let a pint glass out of my hand without downing it's contents to this day, and I haven't been out with him in almost a year and a half.

There was a lot of those in the trial period, but with repetition you managed to get the distance necessary to nail the maneuver without the related sartorial disaster. A well executed street walk was a thing of beauty. Though I think if I tried it now it would be a completely different story. Probably end up looking like I'd shat vomit. HA Map of Africa! There's a sign in our local Wetherspoons banning that very maneuver after like two dozen squaddies from down south were on a stag-doo up here, and tried their level best to get the entire bar involved. It was ... chaotic.

@Hillan I'd go halfers with you to get Wraithy to take part.
It was during my trip in 2015 to the UK. Simply being on the same Island as Sam made my judgement in alcohol worse.


I know it's early days yet, but everyone in this RP should get together and get hammered. It would get so messy.
What can I say, it was the seventies. Comics were a funny place back then.
@Burning Kitty Can't remember the ins and outs of the event, something to do with counterfeit 'mjolnirs' giving random heroes Thor-like power, and turning them evil in the run up to a new Ragnarok, but Tony Stark decided the only way to fight them was to give a group of heroes uru weapons.



It was a real paint by numbers style run, but it basically ended with the Asgardian power rangers there having to fight off the 'evil Thors', while the real Thor fought a Jormungandr expy, who for some reason was his uncle.

@The Kid Lantern Thankfully no, I wasn't a collector during that phase. I do know that he was originally supposed to be a mutant wolverine, in the same vein as the TMNT, when he was initially created though.
@Kalas You know, I think they've actually re-marketed it as Glen's here now too. It's just I haven't had to drink it in about three years, which I'm incredibly thankful for. White Lightning, that's a name to inspire fear. Did you get Omega cider down there? That was a gut churner, but because you could get three litres of it for £2.50 it was a fan favorite with us. Used to snakebite it with Super Tennents, then mix in some Red Bull to try and make it more tolerable for human consumption.

An urn!?! That completely tops any joke vessel story I have. That is grimly fantastic! And he still went through with it, even knowing his deceased grandfather had once been in it! No offence dude, but your mate is an evil bastard!

We developed the Street Walker for when we were travelling to and thro different venues. Essentially it's just a tactical chunder were you vomit over your shoulder while on the move. Dangerous due to the risk of spashback, but when done right it's almost impossible for bouncers to see you do it, even if you're like ten feet in front of them.
Eh, he got Uru armour during Fear Itself. That was bad enough.
@Kalas Think the worst I ever had to tackle was an ungodly mix of London dry gin, Morgans dark spice rum, Tennants lager, Copperberg cider, and Grants vodka (which I'm not sure is sold outside of Scotland, but it's basically just the cheap piss that tastes more like window cleaner than vodka). We were using a kitchen pot as the central vessel for that game, and for some reason that made it so much worse.

Ha, a good ol' tactical chunder. The hardened drinker's greatest weapon. Many a times it's gotten me out of a tight spot.
@Kalas Yeah, that's Kings Cup! I've never heard it called ring of fire though. Used to love that game. Haven't played it in years though.
