Well, he's...

But same is also true at times of other stories, eg Superman, OOTS, etc. I'd be happy with Stonewater is effortlessly mowing his way through Mooks if I knew what tough opposition he was going to have to face next. The usual pattern for these sort of heroic charges is for the hero(es) to wipe out the first wave of grunts to show how badass they are,...

The fact he is clearly enjoying it is totally irrelevant. You know, I'm amazed he was able to 'perform' in those conditions (Still flogging a dead horse, I know).

Quote: What does that have to do with anything? I'm just pointing out more games that feature shields that do something other than blocking. It has to do with that the original comment that startet all this stuff about using a shield for something besides blocking specified a fantasy hero, and so its pretty irelevant whatever mmorgs you can do it in.

responsibility?

When White Mage and Black Mage were alone at one point, Black Mage asked if White Mage could use her white magic to cure their hypothetical grandchildren of inbred stupidity post-apocalypse. She explained that even if she were to consent to him, that would not be possible because of how white magic works: It doesn't simply remove bad stuff, it restores the subject to the way it is supposed to be. Let me go look for a link, should be near...

Man, I haven't read Gobins in a long time. Good comic. I'd sure like to go on an archive binge when I have a few minutes. So if that strip you linked to was published in 2005, that must mean the comic has been updated ... what, five or...

There's a reason some of us don't read Captain America. Or any superhero comicbooks, for that matter. In fact, Mookie being a fan of them even worsened my opinion on them.
