Don't feel bad. It's Monty Python; nobody could do funny better than they did. IMO, honestly, very few people on the planet could even do as well.


Now that would've been an awesome travel power! A ninja run clone where you hop along banging two coconut halves together. For those players who were always asking for horse mounts in the game. ;D

One important thing i learned from working in a restaurant during my undergrad years is that two ramekins make a pretty good coconut substitute. standard issue kitchen towel works for the grass galloping.

Oooh! And a Walk clone too... Silly Walk.

Agreed. Monty Python and crew are a hard act to imitate, let alone duplicate.

I have a lovely bunch of coconuts.... my hovercraft is full of eels

And at least one cat with buttered bread affixed to its back. Otherwise, you'd just have a craft.  :o

Wot, a swallow carryin' a coconut?

Maybe a swallow piloting a jet-propelled coconut.

[Beltor]

European or African swallow?

[Pengy]

Turbojet or turbofan?

Sorry old man I just don't understand your banter.

I know its a glitch, but I still tried to lobby for a mode where the head would roll away and the body would just fall down and then explode, but I was told something something animation resources something blah blah.

That would have certainly made it seem more like "arresting" them instead of "blowing them up inside their tanks".

True story: I had no idea there was even anyone supposedly in the tank until around I6ish.  Its not easy to see unless you look closely, and I didn't put much thought into why a large robotic walking assault robot would be carrying a giant aquarium around.  I guess I thought that's just how Nemesis rolled.

[JanessaVR]

Well, if we're talking unlimited animation budgets, I wanted my Necromancy mastermind to be able to replace dead(er) minions by animating the bodies of fallen enemies around me.  Which could lead to a Simpsons-esque skit of animating a dead Longbow and have it start wandering around moaning "...brains, brains, brains!"   Then, when it shuffled over to another Longbow agent to attack them...it would then wander off with a disappointed look on its face still moaning "...brains, brains, brains!"  :)

Do we even know that it's really a person inside there? Given Nemesis, perhaps it's one of their androids (steamdroids?). Because that's probably exactly how Nemesis rolls, with robots inside his robots while they robotically robot their robotic tasks of being robotic robots, yo.

[Harpospoke]

Agreed and double agreed on this. I understand the reason for the silence, but my god I wish we had some news, especially with everyone being worried by the whole nexon thing

I'm patient, but it doesn't help that I first heard about Marvel trying to get the rights to use Spider-Man in their movies in November and they got the deal done by February.   It is possible to do a never before done type of deal in a short time period.

Completely different situation.  Marvel doesn't need to prove to Sony that they can put Spider-Man into a movie.

Uhm, I don't think the company that created Spiderman decades ago had to prove they could handle Spiderman in their movies to the company that they licensed the movie rights to.

This whole deal is simply Sony and Disney/Marvel lawyers smoothing things out for what they hope is a mutually profitable relationship. 

I do wonder though if there is a clause in the contract where if Spidey's next movies bomb that would stipulate forfeiture of the rights back to Marvel?

Its different for a completely different reason.  In the case of Marvel and Sony, both sides had extremely high level people that wanted the deal and worked on it personally.  The right people can make a deal happen almost instantly with just a handshake.  I'm pretty certain no such people are involved in the deal currently under discussion.

whoever they are, tell them to hurry it up. I have a hami raid to schedule  ;D

From nov to feb isn't exactly short; but I agree with you.  When a deal takes long it is likely because one side really isn't in to it.

[HEATSTROKE]

I have been working on a deal in my personal life for almost two years now. Things go sideways.. People cant agree on every position.. It happens... I am at a situation of pause right now because several key people are out of the country at the moment..

Just because you HEARD about the Marvel Sony deal at a certain time and then a deal was done quickly does not necessarily mean the deal wasnt in the works for a much longer time than that,

[hurple]

Nah, it probably only took minutes...

"Hi, Sony, This is Marvel.  You remember that Avengers movie?"
"Yeah"
"It made more money than everything you released last year combined."
"Yeah."
"And the Thor movies"
"Yeah"
"And the Captain America movies"
"Yeah"
"And the Iron Man movies"
"Yeah"
"Can we use Spider Man in the next movie? We'll give you a percentage."
"Yes, please do.  Use him in every movie.  We'll send a catalog, pick any Sony-owned character you want.  Use them all.  Please.  Please!"
