Watchmen

With the world on the brink of anarchy, I’ve decided that a new leader is needed. Someone who understands the people, and desperately wants to throw them all into a massive furnace. Someone who can lead the planet into a glorious new golden age, where science is devoted in a singular attempt at making Pacific Rim a reality. A leader for life, who’ll go quickly mad with power because he understands that nobody listens to you when you go mad without power.

Folks, that person is me. Vote for the D. Vote for change. Vote for a man who’ll make your life better. Vote for a person who’ll break into your homes at night and sell your organs to zoos as a cheap meat substitute. HAAAAAARRRRRUUUUUUUU! VOTE D!

            I know. I finished up just after 10pm. We can do them tonight or tomorrow. The keys aren’t going anywhere. I still need the Spira Prime still as well – T3 MD and Cap keys.

            New frame with a quest, sabotage mission overhaul & a massive graphics & lighting overhaul – looks sweet.

            Hopefully they revise the Void mission reward tables as well.

            That’s only supposed to come with update 19 last I heard, which is months away. I went 40min in a T3 surv last night looking for those damn Volt & Sarryn chassis – nothing. Bah.

            March 3, 2016 at 08:16

            Better than getting a forma bp. I’d be happy with a full forma at rotation C but a forma bp – save those for T1 and T2.

          • Alien Emperor Trevor

            March 3, 2016 at 08:23

            Anything is better than those. I’ve got 50 of the damn things just sitting there. The worst is getting them in T3 captures.

          • Commander Admiral Chief

            March 3, 2016 at 09:38

            Can you send those my way? I really need about 10 forma minimum now

            LOL I was running around with Volt P last night…

      I responded to you Ryanza. I like this song quite a bit as well… One with a similar message is “If I Could Teach The World”.. Another awesome one is “Home”.

    Idris Elba as Roland? Hmmmmm, uuummmmm, oookaaaaayyy…. Suppose that could work. If you look past the fact that Roland is actually supposed to bear a resemblance to Stephen King.

    There’s going to be a Dark Tower movie. I need to finish the damn books. Just can’t get past the beginning of the second book. The first book was so cool. The movie should be cool.

    Fuck it, why rest the books when the movies always turn out different.

      They’re cool – I read the whole series a while back. So many references and call-backs to his other books, so if you’ve read those you’ll pick up on a lot. And the ending. Man.

            Es, okay! 😛 b.t.w. I have been working on a bit of a script, which I’ve loosely based on a discussion we had yesterday, I hope it’s at least a little good…

            Edit: It might help if I ad the reference, We were talking about how good blood dragon was and how we miss games that are that good… sorry for leaving that bit out…

            According to a lot of unknown commentators on the Batman vs Superman article Darryn is clearly biased, hates Batman and thinks “with his scrodum”

            here is the highlights reel:
