I just got back from watching it too, and I dug it. Plot was Deus Ex Machina'd out the wazoo, and the villain was bland and tough to feel anything toward but a growing desire to punch his face. Also sort of didn't care for Pepper driving Tony to get rid of his robots... I get the whole "Is Iron Man the suit, or the man under the suit?" thing, but there are other facets of that crisis you could explore. That, and robots are something he was passionate about; sure he might've gone a bit overboard, as illustrated by the House Party at the end, but it's just one of his many delightful quirks. Having his suit remotely greet and flirt with you while he works in the basement is just something he's going to do. Deal with it. :I

I did like the relationship with the kid quite a bit too... the mutual snark was cute, and a nice change of pace. Also, having anxiety attacks as a heroic flaw is pretty rare, and I think they represented them reasonably well. I got a laugh in when I finally got why the Big Bad was called "The Mandarin" too.

It's because he's orange.

Luke, the greatest thief in the multiverse (and possibly the most detestable one) is clearly a tie between Thief of 8-Bit Theatre and Happosai of Ranma 1/2. The reasons for both should be obvious.

I have recently been reading this.  It has some really good writing in my own opinion.

I was about to say, "I'll try anything once," but when I saw "Inheritance Cycle" I knew that that would be a lie. Harry Potter and Naruto I can grudgingly concede, but can anyone really write well enough to make Eragon not total shit?

Godhood-likes are more collaborative creative writing than standard games. They are also not RTDs.

Put me in the "still there" category.

I have slightly over a year left of it, but yeh. I'mma join this club.

I never used warp in that context. I meant it in the way metal warps. Oh well. I guess the worst that can happen is us meeting the Tyranids. Carry on.
