    Still alive. Woke up at 1 in the morning to...Still find no power in the house, and apparently it's raining out there.

    ...Ho boy. I'll keep living, just looking more frustrated at the situation but what can you do?

    Sorry to all you Texans for the situation. The power company has really screwed things up in a very dangerous way.

    In other news, in the new Iron Fist comic (gonna be honest, I'm not really liking it), spoilers:
    Bride of Nine Spiders just drove off Midnight Sun in a fight.

    How did she manage that?

    Take a wild guess*.

    * if your wild guess was 'the entire thing was just her throwing spiders on him', you win the prize.

    It's almost like the writers actually read Rumbles.

    My conspiracy theory that Pendaran is secretly influencing things at Marvel has gained strength.
    Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

    Except... y’know... feats for that person’s opponent are somewhat more impressive (if a little vague) than their own.

    So they use the lore but not the world rules.

    Yeah, it's rough going at the moment but I'll just going with the tide. My brother's place is thankfully safe especially for his kids. But can't exactly drive there given the icy conditions.

    I figure they've gone back to the 'Agent of Fu Manchu' version.

    Yeah, I guess.

    spoilers:
    Shame. There’s nothing quite like a mute, insomniac, Kree-empowered, fedora-wearing martial artist wandering the spaceways and getting into fights with Heralds of Galactus.

    And I love that I can say that sentence with a straight face.

    That sounds like an appropriate solution for most problems

    It certainly is for her, and would absolutely result in me vacating the scene post-haste!

    I mean, they were even making sounds. Yeesh.

    It's funny when I see non Rumbles site using terms like "jobbing" or asking for "feats". They definitely aren't using rumbles rules (or not stringently as a board) but it's fun.
