These Stupid Titles II

[fuzzyoctopus]

It's from the cover of Bladerunner, even, I think.

*checks the DVD on the shelf*

Yep, cover.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

It's a fairly iconic image of Bladerunner too. it's a nice choice for an icon.

[Lieutenant Kije]

Yeah, it's one of my favorites: movie, character, setting, theme, etc.

[Lieutenant Kije]

Hah!

You, dead MoD, may believe or disbelieve whatever you want, regardless of how foolish it may be.

I really meant to say dear MoD.  I can't imagine what you must have thought I meant.

[EUOL]

Yeah, it's a nice pick.  It's the one on my soundtrack CD--which, by the way, is a pretty good CD.

[Lieutenant Kije]

speaking of forum icons, I've always enjoyed your latest, EUOL.  Until I recently gave it a good look, I thought the tendons on his neck were the neckalce holding up the glowing medallion.  Now I see it's not a necklace, and it's probably just a glowing chest.  Any comment?

[Entsuropi]

I like almost all the anime i have seen, although i regard it as very sloppy - they never bother to develop the worlds properly, they always just take modern day, slap in mechas or whatever, and thats them. Talk about lazy. And the characters are usually dramatically stereotypical.

Cosplay, never done it, never been to a con or seen it in person. However, the video on fileplanet of the Tokyo Game convention was all about the cosplayers, and a lot of the japanese girls looked very cute in their costumes ^_^

And on the subject of icons, i regard people as looking like the avatars. So i regard EUOL as looking like that, glazed expression and all, Kjie is lucky, and SE looks wierd. And fuzzy looks like a cosplayer.

[fuzzyoctopus]

No no, I look like an evil man-eating panda.

[stacer]

Man-eating? Looks like quite a civilized panda to me. It's typing at a computer, isn't it?

[EUOL]

If I have my reference right, Fuzzy's panda is in the process having its character eat another character in an online role-playing game.  It could be called a *man* eating panda, but it really only eats one person.  It should really be called a 'Brent-eating' panda.  

Kije:  My icon comes from:

(Click on the second 'Exhibit' box at the top of the page.  It's the second picture.)

It's one of my favorite Whelan paintings.  As you can tell from the enlarged image, it's not a pendant, but a little ball of flame.  Nothing is holding it up--it's just kind of floating there.

You obviously don't read Player Vs. Player, and you should.

[Lieutenant Kije]

I was thinking about attacking some mud...I wonder if anyone's there to defend it...hmmm...

[Mistress of Darkness]

His face looks too fat.

But you must be right.

Sometimes, obviously, I can't tell if someone is being serious, or teasing.

[fuzzyoctopus]

Izzy, I'm almost afraid to ask, but what is stonefisted?

[Mistress of Darkness]

Um . . .  I think it's the Nak'Shen version of constructive surgery. Remember when I was a Broken-fisted Nak'Shen? I think I had to be a Camel supervisor for a while to be able to pay for the surgery, and a stone fist was the best they could come up with.
