Just about, yep.

Let's hope this LP doesn't come to a similarly sudden end  :-[

So...murderize the guard, or follow along sneakily?

Kill his ass. I'm sure it'll work out. It's fun giving advice as GM, no one can be certain if I'm being serious, or seriously trying to get them killed.
Even if I hadn't seen your clever transparent text, I still wouldn't take your advice. You're a disciple of Haspen :P

Avatar: The Last Airbender maybe? Some of the DC animated series from the 90s/early 2000s?

The other DC animated series might apply, actually, yeah. I just don't recall them as easily.

Avatar I'd have to say doesn't really work in this situation. It tried its hardest to avoid darker themes in my opinion. There was a gigantic war that was supposed to be happening, and no one died. Ever. There were flamethrower tanks and nobody died. They were never really in danger of dying, either. Like, there was pretend danger, but by the time really serious things started happening, the show had already established that every character had immortal plot armor, even if they were extras (well actually one person died but it was pretty surprising considering, and one of the few instances where a character really didn't have to die). The show did handle some mature themes (maturity itself, healthy and unhealthy relationships, abuse, prejudice, imprisonment, harsh treatment of people, religion, violence), but it avoided from them becoming 'dark'.
No one died on-screen. This was still a Nickelodeon primetime cartoon, don't forget. But we see plenty of injuries, implied death (watch the Day of Black Sun 1 and 2. Notice how the number of Earth and Water soldiers slowly but steadily decreases until only a handful remain...), and explicit references to death ("Those soldiers are the lucky ones; they came back. Every day the Fire Nation takes lives. People are dying, Aang!").

All things considered, it was still pretty dark and dealt intelligently with mature themes.

Oh, it's adblock. Guess what guys? YT comments don't work with adblock anymore.

If it wasn't blatant profiteering before, we all know it is now.
*uses Adblock*
*still sees comments*

Dunno what to tell you, guys.

Youtube still works fine for me, comments and all. All I've got running is AdBlock and DownloadHelper.

On the flip side, does this mean that Firefox is getting a kitsune avatar?
Already a thing.
I'm familiar with that, yes, but I wasn't aware that any art had been done for Firefox specifically (though it doesn't really surprise me).

...

But is there one for the nightly build?  :P
Hmm. Good question.

I had a foil Charizard when I was a kid. My dogs ate the card. Literally, this isn't a set up to some elaborate joke. My dogs ate my potentially-worth-some-money Pokémon, and somehow knew eating the other, non-rare Pokémon wouldn't matter. They ONLY ate the good one.
Ouch dude. Just...ouch. That's why I keep my foils (including a Clefairy) safely tucked away.

Just not sure what to do, everyone else can either run or use long-range staffs :v

I liked the Scrin. They're a decent explanation for why tiberium exists (alien junkies who infest planets that have other sapients with tiberium because they'll spread it around more efficiently is a cool plot for alien invaders), plus it's hilarious to watch their entry to the campaign as they, a mining group who expected a dead planet, are thrown into a three-way global war because of Kane and nearly blown out of the sky by GDI on approach to Earth.
It's super cool when you put it that way but I hate them because Kane decides to worship them. >.>
Well Kane was known for being insane from the very beginning.
Worshiping stoner aliens is not really beneath him.
...why did you quote something from 3 months ago?

I believe that purposely summoning Deamons is heretical, regardless of reason.
Some Inquisitors would disagree.

You forgot cyborg Kim Jong-un, ghost-Kennedy, -Churchill and -Stalin, and Putin with his shirt on.
Wait, Kennedy? It's been a while since I read it but I coulda sworn the first one was Roosevelt.

Had the most bizarre dream last night. I made a delivery in my truck, right? And when it was done, my dispatcher told me to sit tight and wait.

I waited. And waited. And waited. For several years. They knew I was still there because they kept paying me layover money, but I wasn't allowed to move the truck somewhere else or abandon it even for a day. And for some reason, dream-self went along with it instead of demanding to know what was going on or even simply quitting and finding a new job.
