2:49 AM Bradf1289: ESP telekenesis is the best superpower Yahtzeenator: what is that? Bradf1289: you have esp and so you know when bad things are going to happen, but instead of just knowing it, you re telekenesis automatically manipulates your surroundings in advance to be in your favor Yahtzeenator: so everything just works out for you unconciously? Bradf1289: yep Yahtzeenator: couldn't beat the blob Yahtzeenator: haha Yahtzeenator: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/20080731.gif Bradf1289: "he can be incapacitated by sensory assaults; for example, Banshee was able to render Blob unconscious solely through the use of his sonic scream." Bradf1289: haha Yahtzeenator: telekinesis isn't sensory Yahtzeenator: in fact it is the opposite Bradf1289: "Sleepwalker defeated the Blob by using warp beams to wrap a steel girder around the villain, crushing his blubber and causing him great physical pain." Yahtzeenator: welll Yahtzeenator: how much telekinetic strength do you have? Bradf1289: well, like everything else, the powers are only good if you re good at them Bradf1289: so an equal amount of telekinetic strength to the enemies strength in their powers Yahtzeenator: franklin richards could take anybody Bradf1289: he had precognition and telekenesis Bradf1289: which is basically what i m saying, just i m saying it d be automatic Bradf1289: you wouldn t have esp, your telekenesis would Yahtzeenator: who cares about precognition and telekinesis Yahtzeenator: he has REALITY MANIPULATION Bradf1289: yeah but if i know it s coming i ll kill him before he does it automatically Yahtzeenator: do you understand the things franklin richards has done? Bradf1289: nope Yahtzeenator: after iron man and a bunch of other people die from onslaught, me makes another universe and makes them back alive and puts them there. Yahtzeenator: he's an omega level mutant Bradf1289: that s ridiculous Bradf1289: that s not even fair for anybody Bradf1289: reality manipulation Yahtzeenator: yea Bradf1289: basically, "do whatever you want no matter what" Bradf1289: what if he dies? Bradf1289: just manipulate reality so that death doesn t exist? Yahtzeenator: i dunno Bradf1289: so besides the do whatever you want no matter what power, i think esp telekenesis is the best Bradf1289: and i don t think richards could beat esp telekenesis, but he couldn t be defeated Bradf1289: unless he just manipulates to where i don t have esp telekenesis anymore Yahtzeenator: he could manipulate your genetic makeup to where you don't have powers Yahtzeenator: in zero amount of time. Bradf189: but i have esp so i know it s about to happen, and i escape Yahtzeenator: escape?... Bradf1289: automatically with telekenesis, if my powers of esp telekenesis are equal to my opponents powers, and my opponent is all powerful, then i m powerful enough to use telekenesis to move anything, including richards, or the whole galaxy or whatever i need to Yahtzeenator: galaxy? Bradf189: the esp telekenesis is smart, it automatically makes good decisions and executes them without me having to figure it out Bradf189: i didn t want to say universe Yahtzeenator: even if it was another universe Yahtzeenator: he is ridiculous. Bradf1289: yeah that s insane Yahtzeenator: bink, could beat him Yahtzeenator: binks power is that he cannot be affected by other powers. Yahtzeenator: he'd just beat the shit out of you Bradf1289: except i wouldn t use my power to affect him, i d use it to affect me Bradf1289: and escape Yahtzeenator: yea Yahtzeenator: well he couldn't beat bink Yahtzeenator: or ice man. Bradf1289: i don t like how awesome ice man is Yahtzeenator: he's too cool Bradf1289: haha Yahtzeenator: leech. 3:17 AM Yahtzeenator: the mask Bradf1289: the mask? Yahtzeenator: the mask Yahtzeenator: its kinda like esp telekinesis Yahtzeenator: but more like esp reality manipulation Bradf1289: i don t remember what the mask could do Yahtzeenator: everything. Yahtzeenator: (in comics and film version) Wearer of the magical Mask can alter the reality around them (i.e manifest objects from nothing). Superhuman strength, durability, speed and agility. Increased intelligence at the loss of sanity, inhibitions and self-control. Bradf1289: haha Bradf1289: dang Bradf1289: but it s not esp because it s real time Bradf1289: even though it s unconscious Yahtzeenator: GALACTUS Bradf1289: yeah Bradf1289: he s insane Yahtzeenator: dr. manhattan Bradf1289: he has all the powers Bradf1289: haha Bradf1289: molecule man Yahtzeenator: no Yahtzeenator: not molecule man Yahtzeenator: but.... Yahtzeenator: the persuader could take him Yahtzeenator: because the persuader really has no power Yahtzeenator: so your relative esp telekinesis would be about the strength as normal human strength. Yahtzeenator: then he could just cut your powers in half before you had a chance to get away Bradf1289: no, because the persuader isn t my enemy, the sword, or hammer or whatever it was is my enemy Yahtzeenator: naw. Bradf1289: persuader is Bradf1289: the persuader couldn t hurt me by himself Bradf1289: and the sword couldn t hurt me by itself Bradf1289: so i guess the combination of persuader and weapon is the enemy Yahtzeenator: yea Yahtzeenator: but there are no powers Yahtzeenator: so if your powers are gonna be relative Bradf1289: i d say the ability to cut anything is a power Yahtzeenator: ok Yahtzeenator: what about me. Bradf1289: the ability to cut metaphors isn t normal Yahtzeenator: me. Bradf1289: i d telekenesis myself away Bradf1289: slowly Yahtzeenator: no Yahtzeenator: you wouldn't Bradf1289: it d be a normal fight i guess Yahtzeenator: yea Bradf1289: hmm Yahtzeenator: but i'd have a knife Yahtzeenator: ready to chop your ass down. Bradf1289: then i d have a little bit of telekenesis Yahtzeenator: no Yahtzeenator: you wouldn't Yahtzeenator: because its a completely normal knife Bradf1289: ok, i d have a gun Yahtzeenator: and a completely normal me Yahtzeenator: you don't have a gun. Bradf1289: you don t have a knife Yahtzeenator: and i'm outside your window Yahtzeenator: haha Bradf1289: haha Bradf1289: i m going to half to get real strong and carry a gun then or i ll end up being killed by some normal dude if i m going to have relative esp telekenesis Yahtzeenator: yea Bradf1289: what if i m not fighting anybody? Yahtzeenator: ok Yahtzeenator: what if you are fighting wolverine Yahtzeenator: and you get away Yahtzeenator: but immediately have to fight galactus. Yahtzeenator: cause see, then your powers would have already been defined in this argument Yahtzeenator: and you'd die Bradf1289: they d just get stronger once i got to galactus Bradf1289: maybe they shouldn t be relative, because i d want to use them in ordinary life to make things be in my favor Yahtzeenator: mr. immortal would win. Yahtzeenator: there is no way he would not win Yahtzeenator: mr. immortal Yahtzeenator: guess his power Yahtzeenator: fuckin guess Bradf1289: i don t know anything about him, but i m guessing he s immortal Bradf1289: haha Yahtzeenator: yea Yahtzeenator: and he could just fight you til you die Bradf1289: yeah Yahtzeenator: so could ice man too Bradf1289: except since he s perfect at his power, so i d be perfect at mine, and i d use telekenesis to cure myself whenever i got a life threatening disease Bradf1289: so i d basically be immortal Bradf1289: because you can t be imperfect at immortality, you re either immortal or not Bradf1289: so i would have unlimited telekenetic power Bradf1289: and then i d put him in a box Bradf1289: and put it in a different universe Bradf1289: that way, the fight would never actually end Bradf1289: so i d always have unlimited telekenetic power Bradf1289: relativity problem solved Yahtzeenator: naw Yahtzeenator: you couldn't cure yourself with telekinesis infinitely Yahtzeenator: you and i both know that. Bradf1289: i wouldn t have to, i d just put him in a box Yahtzeenator: just because he's in another universe doesn't mean he's still not fighting you Bradf1289: he s still an enemy of mine though Bradf1289: and he is trapped because of me Bradf1289: and i m sure he wants out Bradf1289: so we are in conflict Bradf1289: i want him in the box, he wants out of the box Bradf1289: conflict implies opposing sides, i.e. enemies Yahtzeenator: i know Yahtzeenator: and he'd keep fighting you Yahtzeenator: until you died Bradf1289: does he have any powers besides immortality? Yahtzeenator: he's got a big ole dick Bradf1289: haha Bradf1289: well he can rub his hands all over it inside of my box until i die but in the meantime i d have unlimited telekinetic powers Bradf1289: haha Yahtzeenator: spawn universe.... Yahtzeenator: god Bradf1289: what? Yahtzeenator: God Yahtzeenator: in the spawn universe Bradf1289: i don t know anything about that Bradf1289: but i don t want to fight something called god Bradf1289: haha Yahtzeenator: he's god. Yahtzeenator: but in a comic book form so i can use him in this discussion Yahtzeenator: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_%28Spawn_comics%29 Bradf1289: ok, so the way to beat god goes like this Bradf1289: you die and make sure you go to hell Yahtzeenator: no you lose then Yahtzeenator: metaphysical dimensions imply you have lost. Bradf1289: and then in the battle of heaven vs. hell you will beat heaven s army with esp telekinesis Bradf1289: dang Bradf1289: ok, then you convince franklin richards to die and go to hell Bradf1289: and then defeat heaven s army Yahtzeenator: i think if you die you lose Bradf1289: yeah but i don t die that way Yahtzeenator: yea, but... Bradf1289: until after the army of heaven is defeated Yahtzeenator: god would kill you before you could do that. Bradf1289: dang Bradf1289: yeah, you can t fight god Yahtzeenator: god could crush every single universe at once if he had too Bradf1289: did anybody try to fight god? Yahtzeenator: satan. Yahtzeenator: .. Yahtzeenator: spawn fights angels. Bradf1289: well dang Bradf1289: how powerful is satan compared to god Yahtzeenator: about equal wouldn't you think? Yahtzeenator: they are brothers Yahtzeenator: both son of mother Bradf1289: ok Bradf1289: then you sell your soul to satan in exchange for invulnerability from god Yahtzeenator: no Yahtzeenator: wouldn't work Bradf1289: why? Yahtzeenator: i don't think satan does that shit in spawn universe Bradf1289: dang Yahtzeenator: spawn actually gets as strong as god Bradf1289: well that s ridiculous Bradf1289: my esp telekinesis would be as strong as god Yahtzeenator: so i guess i could say just spawn Yahtzeenator: yea Yahtzeenator: but Bradf1289: it would be perfect because i trapped mr. immortal Yahtzeenator: it would just be ESP telekinesis... Yahtzeenator: and god has alot more than that Bradf1289: yeah Yahtzeenator: so spawn... Yahtzeenator: spawn could beat you after he had eaten the forbidden fruit and been resurrected. Bradf1289: well i guess i can only say that esp telekinesis is the best power if all characters only have one power once you start throwing in multiple powers i d have to have more Yahtzeenator: BLAH BLAH BLAH Yahtzeenator: you have to define your strength Bradf1289: haha, your whole life you wouldn t have a clue what was going on because the esp telekinesis is unconscious Bradf1289: t s relative Bradf1289: and once i trap mr. immortal it s unlimited Yahtzeenator: mr. immortal could get at you somehow Yahtzeenator: he'd meet spawn Bradf1289: i d box him up pretty quickly Bradf1289: box him up too Bradf1289: haha Bradf1289: hold them in the box with my unlimited telekinesis Bradf1289: oh well, i m hungry, i m going to go see if i already made myself a bowl of cereal Yahtzeenator: haha Yahtzeenator: alright Yahtzeenator: i'm gonna go tosleep Bradf1289: adios 4:54 AM

Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Electricity

You're highly reactive, energetic, and super charged. If the occasion calls for it, you can go from 0 to 60 in a split second. But you don't harness your energy unless you truly need to. And because of this, people are often surprised by what you are capable of. Why you would be a good superhero: You have the stamina to fight enemies for days Your biggest problem as a superhero: As with your normal life, people would continue to underestimate you

So like I mentioned in my previous post, the D&D game I'm running is starting to wind twoards its conclusion.  I'm looking forward to taking a break from GMing, cause I end up doing it a LOT.  A guy who's gonna be joining our group soon has offered to run a game for a bit, and threw out a few campaign suggestions.  One of which was a superhero game.  That caught all of our attention, cause after all, who doesn't like superpowers?

So I started thinking of what to play in said super powered game.  You all know how twisted the human mind can be.  So these are the two ideas that came to mind first.

1 - A brutal, merciless female vigilante.  She doesn't kill her opponents, just makes sure they end up in the IC unit of the hospital for an extended stay.  When the local cops find her victims in a bloody mess, they know that Cuntrag has struck again.

2 - The 2nd one I'm still fleshing out, but teh basic idea comes from the name itself.  Leatherman, and his sidekick Whipping Boy!  They give criminals quite a licking!

Your results:
You are Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman 100% Catwoman 100% Supergirl 90% Green Lantern 90% Hulk 75% The Flash 70% Batman 65% Spider-Man 60% Robin 60% Iron Man 60% Superman 55%

You are a beautiful princess with great strength of character.

Well as most of you know, yesterday was my birthday - and what a wonderful day it was!  I got to sleep in (even the cat didn't wake me up!) and when I did finally get up I was greeted with a big "Happy Birthday Greg!" (as our son is currently going through a phase where he's renaming us after members of the Wiggles.) 

It was a beautiful day outside, so we picked up some Slurpees and rocked it at the park.  There were a couple birthday parties going on, so the park was more crowded than usual.  We ended up sharing a bench with a grandmother who would just not stop talking.  Did you ever see the episode of Mad About You where Paul and Jamie develop this silent code of "rescue me!" at a party when they get stuck talking to someone at a party that they don't want to be stuck talking to?  Their silent code was running their hands through their hair, tucking it behind their ears.  Well, this woman talked so much that both Shiny and I were thinking of using the code, but both of us thought the other wouldn't recognize it!  Finally after an hour or so, the woman took her grandaughter home to watch the Derby.

Another mom who was there for one of the parties, made quite an entrance.  Picture Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham.  Thin, long brown hair, flowy short-skirted dress, small designer pink leather purse over one shoulder, carrying a HUGE birthday present (literally seemed as large as her son), and wearing these black patent leather lace up platform wedge sandals that she was teetering on.  We were fascinated watching her tip-toe through the playground mulch in these shoes following her son.  Now what was further strange was that she constantly had this disinterested look on her face, but she was following her son the playground.  Not quite hovering over him, but being protective nonetheless. And in those shoes.  Strange.

We played for a couple hours and then went to the Cheesecake Factory for a special birthday dinner.  Please checkout avi's blog for photos of how we entertained ourselves while waiting for cake.  Shiny also took a good picture of us...



That will make my parents happy.  Not like they called me yesterday or anything... but that's a different issue.

And I got my much awaited birthday present!!  I REALLY REALLY wanted this, and Shiny won a very competitive auction for me on eBay.  Here is a sample photo...



It's a Harvey's Original Seatbelt Bag, limited edition (only 250 were made) called "Paint by Numbers."  So cool  I had been looking at getting a Seatbelt bag for awhile, but couldn't decide on what color or size to get.  Then I saw this one and knew that it was THE ONE.  I'm very excited, and can't wait to start using it.

And as much as I loved getting my gift, Av kept saying (and still is as I'm typing this) that I need another present.  I'm ok with that.  I know that one is one the way from my folks, but I have no clue what it is, which makes me nervous.  Normally they just get me a nice gift certificate from Amazon, but I think this year they actually picked something out.  It's very much the thought that counts, so we'll wait and see.

Today it's back to regular weekend Mommy-dom.  A visit across the river to visit Shiny's parents and a trip to the fabric store to buy material to make a "red superhero cape with stars on it." Should be fun!
