Who knew again?

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Wasn't he the good guy though?
Arguably, yes.
But maybe the PIGEON is a symbol for the evils of society that made the pigeon catch dude(s) what (t)he(y) is/are, thus they are the victims and the Pigeon is what's rotten.
The CATCHERs are the activists who fight against a corrupt regime that is PIGEON, That regime, naturally, portays them as evil. The pigeon always won. And history is written by the victors. Imagine if the Nazis won World War II. How would they report about those they defeated?
Don't tell me you support PIGEON. If you support PIGEON you support Godwin's Law.

[The Wandering God]

Fire Lord Ozai

You might think it's just the fanboy in me, but spoilers
Wanted to usurp his brother's place after his son was killed. Conspired with his wife to murder his father. Banished his wife after she killed his father. Manipulated his daughter into becoming a psychopath. Burned half his son's face off. Wanted to burn down an entire nation personally.

Dude was evil and badass too.

[Moogle0119]

the Shredder (80's TMNT + new version)

[Magic_Marker]

Negaduck.

[greed]

Mumra, Cobra Commander and Xanatos- Thundercats and GI Joe were before my time, and never saw Gargoyles for some reason. I think it was on before I got home from school.
Shredder - always thought he was a bit generic.
Negaduck - I liked him but don't remember him too well.
Fire Lord Ozai - Good villain, ominous and voiced by Mark Hamil are all great points but he never stuck out to me. Azula or Long Feng would have been better choices for Avatar villains.
Mr Burns - I'm a big Simpsons fan and he's nearly my favourite character.
Scar - My favourite Disney villain.
Lex Luthor from DCAU - Best Luthor I've seen. The epsiodes where he and the Flash switched bodies, the one where he fused with Braniac and the finale where he owned Gorilla Grodd and allied with Darkseid, are probably my favourite Justice League episodes without the Question. He was great in the Superman TAS and the Doomsday movie too. He had a great VA by Clancy Brown but they already had a lot to work with him being Lex Luthor and all so he loses some points for that.
Mr Freeze - Every episode he was in was gold. Also from what I understand they basically completely made this version from the ground up only taking the name and his weapon from the comics so unlike Lex he doesn't lose points for being adapted from something already pretty great.
Aku - My favourite kind of villain, really funny, pretty likeable and really evil. Also voiced by Mako. Bookie wins.


Other good choices would have been one shot characters like Clock King from Batman TAS and Music Meister from Brave and the Bold, Katz from Courage the Cowardly Dog, the Joker, Green Goblin from Spectacular Spiderman. The winner would have been Megabyte from Reboot BTW. Hexadecimal would also have placed very high and maybe beaten Aku.

I remember the last time someone unbelievably evil posted that.
I don't know if it was you, though. But I hate you now. Maybe again.

[Viridis]

It wasn't me. Probably. But still, this is the worst bit:Over a period of eight days, the wasp larva consumes the roach's internal organs in an order which guarantees that the roach will stay alive, at least until the larva enters the pupal stage and forms a cocoon inside the roach's body.The larva instinctively knows to do that. Apparently it's possible to be born knowing how to prolong suffering in the natural world.

Intelligent Design. The notion that things like those in Viridis' posts are the result of an intelligent self-aware being sitting down and saying "hmm now what does the world need, how about... organ-eating parasites, yessssss" is as terrible as anything I can imagine.

Did some absolutely balls-out stuff with electricity ([spoiler]teleportation and cloning, obviously) and is one of the best things in a great movie.

Oh, and he's played by David Bowie. You can't tell me that's not awesome.

Goddamn you both! Though if you're both going with Tesla, then I'm going to add even more credance to his being the ultimate mad scientist theory and go with the Tesla from Sanctuary. He's a vampire who wants to bring back the entire vampire race and also can shoot lightning from his hands, as well as being an inventor of advanced tech.

Winner: Dr. Horrible by Masked Jedi, for the deconstruction and the singing. Discovered this on Hulu and while back then actually bought the soundtrack.

Second place: Tesla. All of them. Mostly because I want to see you guys fight over it if Masked Jedi doesn't post.

Honorable mention: Leonard of Quirm by McTahr because someone remembered this crazy guy.

The rest: are still awesome. Except Bill Nye. He's not mad at all. Beakman would have been closer. Willing to be proven wrong, though.

John Byrne (Fifthfiend) - Okay, I love his X-Men run as much as the next man (more so, actually), but he didn't write that, he plotted it. I haven't read his FF run, so my knowledge of his writing is limited to... Chapter One. Yeah.
Stan Lee (42Pentunias) - The Man! I mean, what is there to say about him? He's Stan! He's only this far down cause there are better writers given. He's still awesome.
Gerry Conway (krogothwolf) - Sometimes got really cheesy, but he gave us the Death of Gwen Stacy (the second part of the story is one of the best written comics of all time) and the first Clone Saga. Always gets a pass in my book.
Steve Engleheart (Rejcted Again) - Okay, his Defenders run sucked, and he was way too obsessed with Mantis. But his Captain America run was sick, his Dr. Strange run was even sicker, and his Silver Surfer run? Pure beauty.
Chris Claremont (Archbio) - blah blah blah Iron Fist blah blah X-Men blah blah Hellfire/Dark Phoenix blah blah Mutant Massacre blah blah Fall of the Mutants blah blah the guy who got me back into superhero comics

Okay, but seriously people, nobody mentioned Marv Wolfman (Tomb of Dracula ftw), Doug Moench (wrote better horror comics than anybody ever) or Steve fucking Gerber (wrote better comics than anybody ever)? Bah

R.J. Fletcher from UHF.

He loses his radio station after having a rant of his played over the air, making the entire city hate him. He gets kicked in the nads by an old woman. And a bum who he gave loose change to, turns out to have figured out that it was a valuable coin. Thus allowing him to thwart R.J.'s plans to buy the studio.

[Kerensky287]

Sid from Toy Story.

So, you like destroying other peoples' beloved playthings? TURNS OUT THEY ARE ALIVE AND OUT FOR BLOOD. As far as you know. Have fun explaining that to your parents without being thrown into a psych ward, and have fun recovering from that experience in your adult life.

[Mr.Bookworm]

I'll go with one of the classics. Archdeacon Frollo from the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

He plunges off a gargoyle into what looks like Hell.

Disney movies are surprisingly hardcore.

[krogothwolf]

Sauron from Lord of the Rings!

Sure you don't reall see him do anything, but he he sends the his armies out to destroy the world and has his ring corrupt the bearer of it. That corruption is the reason he lost in the end! For it corrupted Gollum to the point he was willing to die to get it back and it caused the ring and him to fall into Mount Doom and destroyed Mordor and killed Sauron'a middle earth body! Then his spirit was blown away by a great ring. Awesomeness!

[Whomper]

Jafar from Aladdin. Classic example of villain biting off more than he could chew.

The aliens in War of the Worlds.

Fuck ya'll deathrays, we got the flu!

[Archbio]

The Martians: The ironing is delicious.
Sauron: Hoisted by his own petard on several levels.
Jafar: Jafar owns himself directly and without appeal.

An auto-win would have been Captain Vidal from Pan's Labyrinth: "No. He won't even know your name." Bam!

So. Whomper wins!

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

The Martians: The ironing is delicious.

For some reason the image of Martians ironing stuff is just hilarious to me.

In retrospect I should have said Prince Humperdink from Princess Bride as it combines both ownage by heroic cunning and self-ownage by utter cowardice.

Or alternately Inigo Montoya, for its admirable straightforwardness.

Metapod - Si Civa (worthless pod!)
Kakuna - Krylo (slightly less worthless pod!)
Dragonair - Sir Pinkleton (a pretty dragon... which makes for good decor)
Psyduck - Archbio (confusing yellow turd)
Scyther - The Wandering God (not into fudgepacking)
Diglett - InsaneGenius (I dig it)
Venusaur - Greed (not quite a dinosaur)
Infernape - 42PETUNIAS (karate monkey with fire? promising)
Gyarados - Mr. Bookworm (the beast)
Charizard - Fifthfiend (the beast with wings and fire and ATTITUDE)

So yeah, winner is Fifth.

[Krylo]

Worthless?

Just wait until my kakuna uses harden all up in yo' face. See who's worthless then.

Bitch.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

What the fuck? Psychic=dead charizard. You think you all so cool flying around on your charizard. Enjoy the drop, loser.

[Krylo]

Mewtwo is for pussies.

It's the pokemon you take when you can't beat the game without blatantly cheating.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

But you have to beat the game without him...
It's for beating down your friends more than finishing the game because by having Mewtwo you already show you can finish the game without him.

[krogothwolf]

Dude, Jynx is freaking Awesome! I can't believe you put it last :(

[Archbio]

Mewtwo is for pussies.

That seems like a ringing endorsement to me.

Psyduck - Archbio (confusing yellow turd)

Oh, you'll pay once I get my colossal psychic force to focus on something else than my own brain!

[Fifthfiend]

Like I'm just saying every episode of Pokemon I saw with Charizard in it was Ash summoning Charizard and Charizard being like "fuck you, Ash" and setting his ass on fire or taking a nap or something. You just can't argue with that.

New question incoming-ish.

EDIT If i'd bein going strictly by design I'd have said Hitmonlee, that dude is ballin'.

[Sir Pinkleton]

Man, I totally was going to pick Charizard too before I saw Fifth's answer. Dude is the bomb.

I could have picked Charizard, but hey, it's the fuckin' Metapod. You can't argue with that!

Except with Kakuna, yeeeah. And with Aerodactyl?

In vitro meat.

Fuck you and your modern-day Soylent Green

Filet Mignon

The one time I had Filet Mignon it wasn't that great. It might just have been that restauraunt but that's all I've got to go on.

Turkey

I like it, but I don't like-like it.

Chicken.

The best thing I can say about chicken is that well, it's there. You can eat it, and then... you won't be hungry anymore! So yeah, that goes to its credit.

Jerky

The thing with jerky is it costs like 9x what it's worth in flavor.

Salami.

It's not my favorite thing but it sure is pretty good. A fine contribution to many a sandwich.


Beef. You CANNOT beat a nice steak.

This would be higher if you said steak but beef includes a lot of things that ain't steak which aren't necessarily as good as steak is.

Roast beef?

A proud and noble form of beef. The king of sandwiches! Or would be the king if Pastrami wasn't the king. But whatev!

eel

This is one of the sushis I really enjoy, or one of the sushis i only kind-of enjoy. I can't remember!

I've only eaten lamb chops a handful of times in my life but I've loved them every single time.

I have had lambchops loads of times and I've loved them every single time.

Bacon

Man the thing about bacon is even when it's kind of cheap or fatty or overdone bacon, it's still pretty good, cause it's bacon.

And then a lot of times you get just-right done bacon and it's like goddamn, this is some amazing bacon.

Venison

Man I make these venison-bacon hamburgers that are just, http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt148/fifthfiend/emoticons/awesome.gif

Braaaaaains

Brain meats are great meat cause you can use them for so many things. Like thinking!

This would be the winner but unfortunately,

In-N-Out Burger.

The thing is that this should be disqualified because it's not technically strictly speaking just meat, but instead it wins because it's In-N-Out Burger, and In-N-Out Burger wins.

Probably this could have been dropped on any other question I've ever asked on this thing and it would have took the prize.

Pied Piper

[Rejected Again]

Mad Hatter.

[POS Industries]

Doomsday.

Oh come on, nobody likes Doomsday.
^

Superman.
Superdickery's chock full of laughs and all, but let's face it: Supes is a pretty great guy and nowhere near the scumbag that even other DC heroes are. I mean, look at Dick Grayson, for crying out loud! Even his name is "Dick"!

Still a better villain than Doomsday, though.

Pied Piper
One thing I've always liked was that, despite being the most ludicrous and silly-named of the DC universe, Flash's rogues gallery was also the most dirty and vicious. Just because a guy's named "Captain Boomerang" doesn't mean he isn't going to slaughter you like a pig. Don't believe me? Just ask Tim Drake how his dad's doing.

However, Pied Piper isn't truly one of them, and hasn't been since Barry Allen decided to take the Long Jog in the Sky. I mean, sure, he has the potential to destroy the freakin' universe, but he's such a nice guy that he wouldn't even consider it.

Dr. Light.

I figure you have similar tastes.
"Similar tastes"? What am I? Nikose? Get the fuck out of here with that shit.

Darkseid is.
Darkseid never really did it for me. I mean, he was cool in that sort of cliche evil galactic overlord kinda way but both generations of Mongul had the same shtick and pulled it off with a lot more panache, if you ask me.

Frankly, I like Darkseid less as a villain and more as some guy that crashes on random C-listers' couches and works at Mickey D's. (http://siskoid.blogspot.com/2008/04/couch-potato-darkseid-return.html)

Mad Hatter.
Jervis Tetch: Once a creepy freak with a penchant for mind control and a Lewis Carroll fetish (as if Carroll's own particular fetishes weren't bad enough).

Now he just fucks hats.

I'll go with Scarecrow.
Poor Dr. Crane... You just had to be a villain whose gimmick is a mastery of inspiring fear in a city protected by a superhero whose gimmick is a mastery of inspiring fear. And ninjutsu.

Scarecrow is the poster child for wasted potential with a character.

http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/696/gl27au0.jpg

They should have him leave Gotham already. Maybe he could do something against Wonder Woman, I dunno.

I go with Lex Luthor.
This and Joker are hard to choose between, but I feel that Luthor has the unfortunate problem of being far more inconsistently written. At his best, he's a deconstruction of the Randian hero, humanity's best and brightest enraged and humiliated that some alien had to come out of nowhere and steal all his thunder. And if Luthor's thunder had been stolen, if he were forced to live in the shadow of this seemingly perfect being from another world, then so is all of mankind! He's trying to kill Superman because the alien is standing in the way of humanity's further progress as a society!

At his worst, he blames Superman for making him go bald.

Gonna go with Joker.
Now, I say that Joker is written more consistently because, in the end, there's less about him to screw up. Murderous clown, loves chaos, thinks life is nothing but a big joke and he's going to let the world in on the punchline, perfect foil for the stoic and grimdark Batman.

AND THE WINNER IS...
The Riddler
I've always had a soft spot for Mr. Edward Nygma. The suit/bowler hat/question mark cane combo is always a winner, and he's just got this delightful knack for toying with both his pursuers and even the reader at times. I figure if I ever had to find myself taking on the role of a supervillain, Riddler would likely be the one to fit me best.

That said, no one guessed any of my real favorites, the two that come to mind immediately being Mr. Freeze and Sinestro, though the latter is a much more recent addition to my list. Still, good job, Bard!

[greed]

Man I was gonna post Freeze, but I've only seen him in the DCAU so had no idea if he was that awesome in the comics.

[Archbio]

Darkseid never really did it for me. I mean, he was cool in that sort of cliche evil galactic overlord kinda way but both generations of Mongul had the same shtick and pulled it off with a lot more panache, if you ask me.

Cliché really isn't the right word for Darkseid, while it is for Mongul. Mongul is really just this guy that Superman can literally beat up. And who asked you, anyway? Naw, I'm just joshing you!

At least now we know what Whomper's secret identity is.

[POS Industries]

Man I was gonna post Freeze, but I've only seen him in the DCAU so had no idea if he was that awesome in the comics.
Actually, now that you mention it, I really only like DCAU Freeze because comics Freeze is lame and stupid for some reason.

But seriously I have such a geek boner for Sinestro right now, you have no idea.

Fiddler on the Green - I quite liked what they had going on there, but the end ruined it for me. I understand very well why some people would like this song, but I'm not personally fan of that kind of music what they had in the end. Could be higher without the last part. :x

Jenova - It was quite good version, however, never liked that much of FF VII which means that there isn't personal, emotional connection with me and the song, which could have helped to get it higher. The song is still good battle theme, but hey, there's better videogame songs out of there.

Prelude 15 - I was sure that someone would post classical music and happy it actually happened. It was beautiful piece, but in the end, I wish there would have been more going on there.

'39 - I'm kind of glad you posted the studio versio instead of live version, because Brian is the one singing here. Very underrated singer you see. Otherwise I love Brian's guitar work here, the studio version's oohs and aahs fit perfectly, and I've weak spot for Queen in my heart.

The Hounds - As I had never before listened Protomen, I was nicely surprised how great they are (and partly this is the reason they won). I was afraid that their music would refer too much to Megaman and not be understood by people who are not that much into gaming, like me, but oh my, they proved my fears wrong. I liked how they played too as it had that Megaman soundtrack feeling, and Megaman rocks.

While there're plenty good songs which weren't released as singles, I think that I could have given the instant wins for Harrison's While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Pink Floyd's Echoes.

So hey, you know, take it Magic Marker, make magical things to happen. Now.

Edit:// Or hey, like, you guys could have just posted a song that is sung by Muppets and you would have won.

[Sir Pinkleton]

Sorry for being late-ish! I got caught up with Assassin's Creed 2. :)

Bible Adventures!
Never played it. And I haven't heard good things about it anyway. >>

(Drunken) Wii Sports!
Also never played! Not drunk anyway. I'm only 19 you know. :p
Wii sports is fun though, when I played it forever ago. more fun with friends.

Minesweeper!
I think you meant this one as a joke entry, but I actually like Minesweeper a lot. I have a few strategies in my head already for dealing with annoying spots in the game. what bugs me are the places where you absolutely have to guess.

Half-Life 2?
A good game, but it didn't really leave any lasting impressions on me. I might have fonder feelings for it if they'd finish episode 3 already. :shifty:

Resident Evil 4
Also a good game! I played all of the way through the mercenaries missions with my brother, which should kinda show my dedication to that game. shooting done right, it did.

Portal.
Lots off fun, certainly. I don't think it's the best game ever or anything, but it does what it does wonderfully, with the story you'd expect from valve, and interesting game mechanics. Also, "Portal Prelude," a mod I got from the internet, is surprisingly well done.

Fallout 3
Easily one of my all time favorites. I sunk waay too many hours into this game. In real life I'm unaffected, but in video games, I can't help but loot everything, and Fallout 3 gave that. I haven't played the DLC yet, but when I do, I'm sure I'll love Fallout 3 all the more.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
And the winner! Yeah, nostalgia wins above all, sorry. I played this game multiple times when I was much younger. I still remember picking up Zelda's Ocarina under the bridge with my Grandma cooking sausages for breakfast in the nearby room. I loved the gameplay, and the story, and that's why The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is my pick for game of the year!

Oh wait, wrong thing. Winner is Whomper! :p

[Whomper]

I actually put some logical thought into my guess: I realized that one of the video games I love most came out when I was 8 or 9 years old (1990 - SMB3), and then I guessed at a game that came out around that year of life for you. Childhood nostalgia always wins.

So, after watching 1,000 Ways to Die, I came up with a new one:

Tell me a way I would absolutely hate to die.

Unloved.

[Archbio]

On fire.

[krogothwolf]

unwanted, despised and unloved while being read CoM/CoL over and over again while being stuck in a pit with a pendulum.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Here's a little dog-bites-man tale we couldn't resist! Except replace "dog" with "850-pound black bear"! And "bites" with "anally violate"!

Yes, last Saturday a zookeeper at the Metropolitan Zoo had "claws" for alarm when he was attacked and raped by the same black bear he had raised from a cub! Geez, talk about gratitude!

"It was horrible, just horrible," sobbed an eyewitness. Guess she sure got an eyeful!

The bear, named "Barry," attacked zookeeper Chris Byrne as Byrne entered the cage to give him dinner. Barry lunged at his throat, goring him with his huge claws and razor-sharp teeth. Some of the claw marks were three-quarters of an inch deep. Ouch!

Then, astonished onlookers could "bearly" believe what happened next--Barry began to brutally rape zookeeper Byrne!

Frantic zookeepers rushed for rifles as others tried to divert the bear. But there was no stopping Barry! This bear kept "bearing down," and Byrne just had to grin and "bear" it! Maybe Barry was mistaking him for his "honey"!
Byrne was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. A full quart of bear semen was extracted from his ruptured chest cavity. And that's no small Boo-Boo!

Barry's 27-inch phallus, armed with guard hairs as sharp as red-hot needles, shot through Byrne' rectum, shattered his lower spine and skewered his colon, causing his entire lower torso to "cave" in! Yikes! Bet that wasn't the type of "cave" you had in mind when you took up zookeeping, Mr. Byrne!

And can you imagine Byrne' surprise when Barry's putrid ursine semen flooded his ruptured chest cavity? (By the way, Mr. Byrne, whatever cologne you've been wearing, where can the public get some?)

Finally, zookeeper Eric Pulliam shot Barry with a tranquilizer gun and pulled Byrne from the cage. The unconscious bear was later destroyed. Hey, this "Yogi" made a major "Boo-Boo"!

"I have worked with dangerous animals before," zoo director Kate Donegal said. "But never have I seen any animal sexually assault a human being." "Barry"? Try "Scary"!

Meanwhile, Byrne was pronounced dead at an area hospital--but at least he died grinning and bearing it! No doubt, this episode gives new meaning to the term, "Do not feed the bears!"

Like that.

With that article written about you after your horrific death.

[Rejected Again]

Well, I concede this round. Although the Blood Eagle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_eagle) would suck.

[Osterbaum]

Murdered by me.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Dying of a heart attack while having sex with your grandfather in the shower.

[Whomper]

When I created the topic, I was actually thinking more along the lines of physical ways to die, rather than mental/emotional turmoil. Time to rate!

Osterbaum: murder - Well, this was unimaginative, and rather unexplained at that. However, if I were to die, I'd think dying by the hands of another 8-Bit Forum-Goer would be kind've neat. Wrong end of the spectrum!

krogothwolf: combined others' ideas - You lose because you just swiped ideas from a couple other people and enhanced them. Originality is key!

Token: AEAwrCoM/CoL - I had never even bothered to figure out what CoM/CoL meant, but thanks to krogothwolf I now know what it stands for. I'm guessing CoM/CoL is some sort of horrible thing, but since I have no clue, this loses.

Archbio: fire - Yeah, this seems like it'd be pretty painful, but I think the pain would be short-lived.

InsaneGenius: coronary via incest - My grandfather is dead already, which makes this even more horrible. An A for effort.

Krylo: unloved - In the end, everyone just wants to be loved. :(

Mr. Bookworm: bear rape - I think the article afterward would make this truly horrible. Otherwise my publicist could spin it as a simple bear attack, and that would just be average suck.

Rejected Again: "Blood Eagle" - When anything anywhere NEAR the spine is screwed with, it's quite painful. What's worse is that the article describes it just as it is - torture.

I think an instant winner for this topic would've been a combination of condemnation and complete despair. Maybe something like lava rising up all around me while I'm stranded on a rock, with no help in sight. I know I'm a goner in that instance, and I know it's going to be a slow, painful death as I'm toasted by the slow-rising lava.

Anywho... Rejected Again wins, despite having conceded the round!

9. Firearm and Blowjob Testing Facility (Hawk) - If I take a look at a job description, and the mere concept of mixing guns and my genitals is even hinted at, I'm outa there.
8. International Playboy Model Tester (Rejected Again) - I'm not sure what this would entail. Would I be measuring them to make sure their figures are up to Playboy's standard? That seems boring, if I want be near naked women there are other jobs on this list that entail that in a better way. Am I doing photo test shoots to see how'd they'd look? Once again, boring and repetitive, and if I wanted to look at naked women, I have the internet. Am I making sure they don't break down because they're actually robots? That's creepy. Also boring.
7. Professional Prostitute Skill Tester (krogothwolf) - Meh. It's like Peverted Cookie Monster once said: "Hookers are a sometimes food."
6. Ice Cream Tester/Professional Unicorn Stunt Rider/Blowjob Factory (Mr. Bookworm) - This had serious potential. Unfortunately, you needed to be clearer about my position in the blowjob factory. Am I giving/receiving? I'd be fine with that. But I could very well be like, the manager or supervisor or something. Not so fun. But unicorn rider? FUCK YES.
5. Painter of rainbows and stardust (Si Civa) - This was creative. And cool. And I want to write a character who is this.
4. Space Pirate (Whomper) - All dressing like a cowboy and flying through space, righting wrongs and stealing money and fighting the system and you can't take the sky from me.

You people are really good at this. Here are the results. If i forgot to mention you, then you weren't good enough.

Mr. Bookworm-Stand in the front of the line and jabber at your cellphone while making those "one second" gestures at the cashier
This is a pretty good sign of a douchebag, and its more likely to happen than the others, but also pretty tame compared to the others.
Archbio-Running with a chainsaw
This would be awfully rude, but I'de probably be to terrified to notice
Si Civa-Pee in the street
Also very rude, but it doesn't stack up to some of the others
KrogothWolf- masturbating in a crowded mall
This would be pretty messed up
Hawk-going, "This is what I think of your damn food!!" in a crowded restaurant and then taking a shit on the plate before immediately walking out without paying
Has this actually happened to you?
Rejected Again-Krylo
Yep, this one takes the cake. It would be obnoxious on any level. Doing it or otherwise. But unfortunately, it was topped by...
Krylo-Your Mom
This. Krylo's answer wasn't necessarily what did it. It was Krylo that did. Krylo, by virtue of being Krylo, has proven himself to be the most obnoxious thing that anyone can be or do. And dammit, that just pisses me off.

This is actually more what I was going for.

Also how big is a block of cream cheese? I usually get cream cheese in tubs.

[Whomper]

8 oz. (http://www.retailrelay.com/Philadelphia-Cream-Cheese-8-Oz-Block-P1336.aspx)

I will note that the recipe works better with block form, as I've tried both and the tub variety tended to separate into the Ro-Tel faster.

[Sir Pinkleton]

I think we've made a thread about this topic, though it's been forever. Or in case we haven't, we totally should.

Pretty much anything with chicken, really. Rice would be ideal. If you don't hae a ricemaker though, then it gets more tricky. Regardless, I might as well share my knowledge:

2 cups of water for every cup of rice. One cup of rice, with other food, is usually enough for a meal. I've never seen/tasted a difference with adding salt, so I just ignore the option, being optional anyway. Bring to a boil. Then set the heat to low, stir a little, and cover. Periodically (every 2 minutes?) check on the rice; it will overflow otherwise. Continue simmering until the waterline barely covers the rice. stir again, and wait more. After this it's kinda hard to tell when it's done, but if you can still hear the water bubbling at the bottom of the pan, it has more evaporating to do (you might uncover it to quicken this process). Then it's done. should take 15 minutes maybe. Good if you're cheap, bored, and love rice, like I do.

As for chicken, I just fry it in a pan. maybe throw in some olive oil and herbs, or a gravy for the chicken to heat in, but I've not done those options, wo I don't know how successful they are.

So I guess my suggestion is rice.

[krogothwolf]

The Super Sandwich Of Heart Attack!!!!!!

Just Take. A subway bread and cut in half.

Add, Hot Genoa Salami, Hot Calabrese Salami, Hot Capicola, Smoked Turkey Breast.

Add your choice of toppings you want, Lettuce, Tomatos, Pickles. Whatever! Add some Havarti Cheese(or another cheese of choice). Then Mayo and any other sauce you would like, add in your favourite choices of hot sauce and then eat and be amazed!

[Genji]

Frying some chipolata always gives a high flavor to effort ratio!

Dip some bread in the juice left in the frying pan and voila!

[Satan's Onion]

The toasted cheese sandwich...a la microwave. You toast up two slices of bread and slice off some slices from a nice, melty, tasty kind of cheese (I like sharp cheddar, or pepper jack, or chipotle cheddar--your mileage may vary). Slap those together and microwave it for around thirty seconds on your highest setting. (Some folks fry theirs in frying pans. Seems like an awful lot of bother to me.)

(You might--might--have to experiment with the time and setting just a tiny bit, to achieve the perfect balance of meltiness to leakage-out-of-the-sandwich. But most of the time half a minute's perfect, so once you've figured out exactly what's best for your microwave setup, it's a breeze.)

You might also wanna add some sliced onions before you nuke it, and I'd recommend buttering the top of the sandwich really liberally because fuck having healthy arteries.

[Krylo]

Man, I totally forgot about this.

Welp, guess I will do a thing.

Pizza.I'm assuming you mean frozen. That's not really something one cooks. Tombstone IS pretty good, though.

Frying some chipolata always gives a high flavor to effort ratio!I had to look up what this was, and was disappointed to see it was just a sausage.


Bacon.Bacon is delicious, but it's not really something one cooks. More along the lines of something one prepares.

So I guess my suggestion is rice.Rice is good, but its not really a meal by itself. Or even a main course. Hardly even a side dish, really. Also, Chicken is ok, not really my favorite thing. Unless it's in buffalo wing or battered form.


The toasted cheese sandwich
I actually used to make these pretty often. They're alright, but actual grilled cheese made with a frying pan is better.

The Super Sandwich Of Heart Attack!!!!!!Sounds really good, but loses points for just being a sandwich with no actual clear definition. I do like spicy foods though, so.


Whomper's Party Dip.
Whomper wins as the only person to submit something which isn't like... nuking something or making a sandwich or whatever.

Also I really like cream cheese--though I can't help but think this would be better with a few additional ingredients like, I dunno... onions, or spicy peppers.

Anyway: Whomper's turn to go.

[Whomper]

Telekinesis, because moving stuff with your mind is awesome.

Flying. Getting everywhere you want and defying gravity are nice bonus, but being free bird is the best thing.

There's only two kinds of people; those who want to fly and those who are lying bastards about it.

[krogothwolf]

Reality Warping

Reasoning: Who wouldn't want to manipulate reality at their whim. Wall in your way? No need to smash it, just alter it into something passable. Short on cash but don't to work for the money and that bank is heavily guarded? Turn everyone into mules and then alter the security cameras and doors to turn into mush then use the mules to carry the money out for you. Cops chasing you, turn their cars into bikes, or into Shriner cars. Reality Warping means you can do almost whatever you want and are limited by only your imagination. The World is your play thing! You can alter the laws of physics making gravity go Topsy turvy! You can alter logic to making 2+2=FISH! If Joker can do it, why can't you!?

Time Manipulation.

Later for work? Stop time. Traffic Suck? Reverse time and find a new route. That guy from last weeks party driving down the road? Stop time and turn the wheel of his car towards he nearest tree.

Total invincibilty (including immortality), but with the caveat that you'll die if you choose to off yourself.

Go sky-diving.

[Archbio]

The power to regenerate from even a single drop of blood.

[Whomper]

Regeneration - Archbio
This seems alright, but I have a weaker version of it already called "sleep". If I break some bones or get sick or something, I suppose it'd be quite handy, but even then I'd have to find some blood... and I don't want to do that. :(

Invincible/Immortal - Mr. Bookworm
While being invincible and immortal sounds cool, I don't picture myself being in too many instances in my day to day life where it'd be useful. I mean, I can't afford to go sky diving every day.

Flying - Si Civa
I have actually done this in my dreams. It's pretty cool, but it really only has a limited amount of uses, and isn't very helpful against the weather. Plus, how fast could I really fly anyways? As fast as a bird? As Superman? As Neo?! I just don't know. Knowing my luck, I'd get hit by a plane.

Time Manipulation - Rejected Again
Now we're getting somewhere... OR ARE WE?! I could see this being very useful in certain situations, but contrary to popular opinion, time does NOT heal all wounds. If I get shot in the head, I'm not going to be able to turn back time and stop that because I'm going to be very instantly dead.

Reality Warping - krogothwolf
This probably would've won if not for one very particular thing: I like reality how it is, for the most part. The ability to twist everything around would eventually make me feel like nothing is real... and that's a feeling I wouldn't want.

Telekinesis - Hawk
I like this. This gives me a sampling of other powers to go with it, too. Stopping bullets with my mind? Invincible! Stick a circular metal plate under me a la Static Shock? Flying! Remove the cameras from where they are positioned? Reality Warping!

Okay so I can't manipulate time with Telekinesis, but it's still cool. The winning superpower actually would've been "At-Will Ghosting". I have a fascination for being an observer of all things in life. With invisibility, I could do so without infringing on the personal space of others. Plus, as a Ghost, I wouldn't be hindered by my physical body.

So, Hawk wins. Take it away, Hawk!

[Archbio]

This seems alright, but I have a weaker version of it already called "sleep". If I break some bones or get sick or something, I suppose it'd be quite handy, but even then I'd have to find some blood... and I don't want to do that.

I meant that your entire body could regenerate from a single drop of your own blood. It sort of implies immortality also, in comic book terms.

Of course, seeing the rest of the ranking I think it still belongs in last place since it's like a weaker, less pleasant version of Bookworm's pick.

But would he feel pain? That might be important to state.
For the record I would've said control over gravity. it's like telekinesis, but better, I think. Stop bullets by creating a black hole to suck in the cullet, or push it back with gravatic force (It'd take quite a bit, but I'm thinking there won't be limits to the power). Reverse the gravity between you and the air touching your skin, or even just the ground, and you can fly.

Also, sleeping would be totally awesome. :p

Stop bullets by creating a black hole to suck in the cullet, or push it back with gravatic force (It'd take quite a bit, but I'm thinking there won't be limits to the power). Reverse the gravity between you and the air touching your skin, or even just the ground, and you can fly.

Also, sleeping would be totally awesome. :p


Gravity control is nowhere near better than TK. TK allows you to control matter, all matter, even on the atomic level. You can fly, you can push stuff away, pul things towards you, or just blow an object into dust. You could even alter atoms in an object to turn it into something else (lead into gold anyone?). Gravity control would be so much more limited.

I don't think you're thinking big enough, because most of those things (though you need a shit ton of gravity. This is a super power though) are doable with gravity. Probably not the pushing part though, unless you made a gravity well behind the thing.

EDIT: I guess the coolest thing about this power would be to create and control gravity without regards to mass. So, say you need two atoms to come together that normally don't like fusing. Create a really strong gravity force between the two, which forces them together?

The biggest problem, then, would be that you make something like that, and everything around it would also get pulled in. Unless you had specific control over the direction of gravity or something.

But yeah, not that I think about it, my explanation is basically telekinesis, but more prone to going wrong. :p

Gravity doesn't work that way. Too much gravity doesn't push atoms together to make new things, it crushes and destroys them. This is why we have a sun that gives us light and heat, and things like blackholes. And if that's the power you want anyway, then yes, it basically IS TK, so why not just have TK and control all matter?

Besides, I think most times in fiction whenever gravity control has been used by anyone, it's been purely used to either increase or decrease the mass of an object, which is what gravity does best. So you can either make stuff float or crush them into paste. At its height it does blackholes. I've never seen or heard of gravity control being used for anything else, because that's TK.

Also, of the 4 fundemental forces in the universe, gravity is the weakest. It's beaten by electromagnetism, which would be a part of TKs power (electrons have mass, albeit only a small amount, so a TKer would be able to control them the same as protons and neutrons). In fact, TK could probably allow you to control ALL of the other 3 forces, al of which are more powerful than gravity, so you'd get electromagetism, the strong nuclear force (the thing that keeps atoms togehter) and the weak nuclear force (things like radiation, which is also made of matter).

So yeah, gravity control has nothing on TK.

God. Have you guys learned nothing from reading comics?

Never.
Ever.
Ever.
Try to justify the awesomeness of your superpowers with science. Unless you're the goddamn batman.
