I'll probably get the roles finished this week, and try to start around the 15th. My job situation is in crazy flux right now, so I HOPE to be ready by then... might be the next week, but the 15th seems pretty safe.
This is a weak excuse. Do... or do not. There is no try.

I don't think Kirby talks. Just inhales things and copies their powers.
Jack Kirby is God. New God of the 4th World.
That is all. So say we all.

Ok, maybe the direct approach. Using 1st world and 3rd world even in jest offends me. And I know people who feel the same when some uses the word gay or the word retarded in a derogatory fashion. I know it's not exactly the same, but I don't care. I guess trying to explain that it was offensive was the wrong way to go. I should have just said it and been done.
People getting all uptight about the use of the words retarded and gay annoys me. The first vs third world thing, I have no opinion on.

I enjoy an intelligent back and forth about a subject people disagree on, its fun and works your brain muscle.
TBH I am a little annoyed at the pandering and it kinda feels like you're attempting to devalue my opinion by saying I'm irrational. Especially when I have no vitriol for Thawmus, and kinda like the guy (When he's not saying 1st world problems of course). (Checks pulse) nope, still normal though so I must be over it.
I promise in the future to not talk ill about your favorite sayings and gouge my eyes out in silence.
I hadn't even heard the phrase until today. I'm not pandering. Honestly I couldn't care less about it either way. That said, it seemed like you were getting a bit heated and it's kind of my job (one I've been doing poorly at lately) to try and keep things civil around here. The fact that you can't see that my tone was light hearted and not stern doesn't help. I can't help that.

Do all of you wordmisers correct people in public like I do, or are you a little more respectful?
Depends on the person. I always correct my wife on her use of the words good and well. As well as the fact that she always says why instead of while. As in "You stay here why I go get the kids."

I'm Jelly...but I got the Chase Skrulls (or soon depending on how inept the Canadian postal service). So not too jealous.
I really like that Loki though. How well you'll do...dunno...depends on what you'll face. Maybe play the Soul Gem to round out the team to get some healing in.
Pretty inept. I would wager another week or so. Think about how I feel, I have to wait until you get your clix before you even send mine. Also I need help building a 1000 point Mr.Sinister team anything goes. I posted in team building thread but I got 1 reply :/ and I need it for tomorrow. So please someone help me.
Side note: I broke up a complete M10th set to send you that spider skrull Fre....Mr.The Wood. Take good care of it.
As I said before, I'm looking forward to the day I can have the USS Enterprise driving a Batmobile which has been pimped out with a Gauntlet! ~~Harpua
Safeway had fried chicken for 6 dollars today as their friday special so having a piece of that before I head out for L5R that I got bullied into going to tonight.

Considering I'm pretty sure I have filthy hipster blood in me (I hate almost anything that other people like, almost reflexively), I would be hard pressed to say someone's a hipster as a dismissal. More that you were coming off to everyone in the room as though you were blowing a gasket, and I was trying to figure out why it was such a colossal deal to you. You kept outlining that the phrase was tired, and that you despised other tired phrases, so that was one conclusion.

The problem is, your posts keep doing this. I bolded where it's happening. You say you're cool and you say you're okay, and then you say something tremendously snippy to a guy who's just trying to moderate his neck of the woods, since he's the moderator for this neck of the woods.
It's like saying that you're perfectly calm while people are asking you to put down the gun, and then you just shoot one in the face and repeat that you're perfectly calm. Nobody's convinced by that. I've read all of your posts as though it came from someone who's very very upset with a whole lot of people. Which I'm sure is going to count somewhere in the top 5 most hypocritical moments of HCR history, but since I already own others, whatever. Point is, I wasn't the only one. Now, if you want to dismiss that as we're all a bunch of sissypants babybutts with thin skin and no reading comprehension, be my guest. My recommendation would be to evaluate the way you try to convey your thoughts if you don't want people to think you're a raving lunatic. Unless you're okay with that, in which case, just get used to HCR staff stepping in now and then and making requests you misinterpret as personal insults.
Just saying, this all started with a long rant quoting a 3 word post. It was kinda crazy.
And now I've got another one on that list of 5. ####!

Just how I wanted to spend my Friday night: after 1am and still at work.
(I know, first world problems)
Nah, that sucks a whole bunch, actually. Been there, done that, glad I don't do it anymore.
In my case, it's 12:30 AM, and I'm getting ready to play some Torchlight II, but it's kinda late, and I probably won't be able to play much, and that kinda sucks.

I played the Timber Peak expansion for Last Night on Earth tonight, and I enjoyed it immensely. We lost to the zombies, but that was okay, because the XP system is pretty awesome.
We then played The Walking Dead, the board game. I.....can't give it a strong recommendation. Suffice to say, there is a cooperation aspect to the game, which I suggest you house-rule right out of the game entirely, because the game rules don't adequately cover it, and it can make the game tremendously lopsided quickly. Also, a great part of the game is that as you travel around the hex grid, you leave a trail of zombies in your wake, and cooperation means you leave less of a trail. The trail is an obstacle in and of itself, and makes the game interesting, so again, I suggest ignoring the cooperation rules entirely.
