None of them actually look all that bad, Crimson is just overreacting because he's used to the original character designs (which is fair enough I guess, but on their own there's not much wrong with them).
(based on looking at them each for five seconds. >.>)
Some aren't as bad as I make them out to be, yes. But Miacaiah's in particular pisses me off because looks like they Photoshopped her head onto another character's body, and it careens the whole thing right into the Uncanny Valley.
Rob Liefeld did what now?
I don't think they were actually by Rob Liefeld and considering what Crimson has as his avatar I can't take complaints about Liefeld there as that much of a complaint.
Thought so. Those pictures look drawn by anyone but Liefeld.
I don't see the Liefeldness either. I do think it's a bad redesign, though.
Only the strong (and wrinkly) survive!
^Not for much longer.
^^^The tiny feet?
Fair enough, although while Liefeld's tiny feet are a trademark, they are not exactly the first thing I think of when I hear "Liefeld"
Also, Deus Ex is pretty fun so far. The only thing that bothers me is the cover system but I can adapt.
Why does that picture of Lyn have inward-turned knees even though she's apparently busy fighting something?
I think the thing about the cover system is that it's more designed for stealth than for other playstyles.
Oh, I'm going for stealth. It's just that Adam tends to stick to the most incovenient possible wall.
I finally found an HBO series that isn't softcore porn! It's called The Newsroom and it's kind of extremely terrible, but I do like the main character (when he's not being overly judgmental) and whatever character Dev Patel is playing.
I didn't need to rest to say "Poor you".
At any rate, try the Wire. It has some sex scenes but overall they're hardly that common, as I recall.
What's it about?
Homicide and life on the streets
It's about Baltimore's police department and its relation to a baltimore structure and switches depending on the season. Season 1's about the drug trade, Season 2's about the docks and the unions, and so on.
Could I just start with season 2?
Not sure. I'd say that it's pretty reliant on you watching the episodes in order, but I think it's also easy to acquaint yourself with each character and the general environment/feel of the show each season. The only thing is that it does try to avoid exposition regarding past events because lol naturalism. I say that if you want to give a shot at it like that, though, then do it and then tell me how it goes.
Kay, I'll probably just binge tomorrow if I can find... perfectly legal means of obtaining it!
Hey, is Homicide: Life on the Streets starring John Munch a good show?
Haven't watched it, but it's basically "The Wire: Lite" from what I've heard (It being David Simon's first attempt at a show about Baltimore but in a network channel and all). Apparently good, too.
Really, John Munch is the Live Action TV equivalent of Final Fantasy's Gilgamesh.

Insanity Addict Speak(TM) for American - you can rage now Vandro, at somebody saying American when they mean US.
I love how you can decipher the impenetrable language that's spoken only by those who are entrhalled by madness.
