Gideon's a nice guy who just wants to borrow your powers. Parasite is a dick and he wants to take them and run away with them. Big difference, even if Parasite isn't getting powers from his buddies. Frankly you probably wouldn't want him to do that.

I guess I couldn't see taking that chance to try to get 1 click through on Superman for a power I'd lose by the start of my next turn. But, sure, if he had an ally who could Outwit Superman's Impervious I might do that.

He may turn out to be interesting to play, but the right allies will be very important, and it's likely to bug me that he has such a single-minded interpretation of his ability... presumably in the name of simplicity and game mechanics/cost control.

So I started to read the first sentence above and was struck by the thought that I'd found a fellow fan of that George C. Scott movie (with Joanne Woodward, Grandpa Al Lewis, Jack Gilford and Bea Arthur sidekick Rue McClanahan!!).

Then I read more, which served to remind me that I'm not quite as hip as I sometimes like to think I am.

Well, so much for wondering whether you consider "They Might Be Giants" a Sherlock Holmes movie...

But, hey, enjoy the show!

The guy was giving me a really funny look when I was taking a picture of his italian ice stand.

Sounds like we still need another Parasite before we get an accurate one.

He should be able to steal powers from anybody he's close to.

Hard to tell but I don't think I like that sculpt either.

He could just outwit Superman's impervious thus gaining it himself and then charge in for three damage.

Bringing me full circle back to post 386.

Really, it was the only move that was screaming out at me to make in that situation.

For the Win

2nd place is still a win : )

Its a good thing you didn't get got while taking that picture.

Re: Parasite
He didn't look to over costed to me. The full dial steal energy is nice and will let him stay up top. I could see him positively murdering a pile of minions.

Re: Joco and tmbg
Enjoy! I'm amused that Joco is now thought of as the "Still Alive"
[hipster voice] Back when I started listening to him when I was in college, he was the thing a week guy [/hipster]
He did a new song every week for a year, several were quite good. Check out his cover of baby got back.

Did someone knit the Sistine Chapel into a blanket to beat you? Beyond that I can't think of what else would be better.

Congrats.

2nd??!!

What is that second crap??!!

That deserved FIRST!!

Ogres; REVOLT!

We want BLOOD!

Hell, we want Blood on Blood!

The person that won first had a similar idea, but did a full Chicago Bears logo with all of the "Shadow" on the logo in the right place. It was extremely well done with a high degree of difficulty. Jonna accepted defeat at the hands of the "Better Man."

Mario jumps on the heads of Chicago Bears and knocks them out.

Then he eats a mushroom and blasts everyone in Soldier Field with fireballs before putting on his cape and flying away over Lake Michigan.

Mario wins.

I know this guy who has a cousin that does this thing. The 1st place individual will no longer be of concern.
