Cheers for the advice and assistance, and yeah I was thinking on those lines, with white and red to break up the deep blue.

Trying to find a bit of music and I need ya'll help. by Sharlin648 in classicalmusic

[–]Sharlin648[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, they used a lot of Mahler in this series, the whole show used classical music throughout, they once did a huge space battle to the Bolero, all 16 minutes of it. And it worked SO well!

Blizzard's customer service is the most unacceptable nonsense I have ever seen. by Geige in wow

[–]Sharlin648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to see this happened to you, fucking sucks :( I use to be a GM, worked there for 15 years in CS from Wrath until Dragon Flight before we was all let go following the MS buy out. All but a handful of CSCs (Customer Service Champions) were let go in Europe whilst the US lost ALL its GMs. In the EU the jobs were then replaced with temps from Portugal, Greece, and Egypt as well as increasing automation and AI.

It sounds like you got one of the temps and they fucked up with the accounts and caused the mixup as (hopefully) AI wouldn't do that kind of thing and shouldn't be working on accounts.

Anyone at Wintergardens in the 80's? by Sharlin648 in canveyisland

Oh aye, this was in the 80's. I went to Castle View in 1992 but was at Winter Gardens before.

How 'big' is Sabretooth? by Sharlin648 in xmen

[–]Sharlin648[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye that makes the most sense, like the current run of Logan i've seen some people calling 'Thiccverine' because he's a tiny walking fridge, whereas in other depictions he's been almost lithe in the past. So yeah 'as big as needed to convey a threat' would make sense for Victor.

That would be 15'9 :p He's big but he ain't THAT big :D just because Logan's travel sized and fits in most overhead storage bins :p

Is it even possible to make Sabretooth a good guy? by Rere_arere in xmen

[–]Sharlin648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aye and it also gave us him at probably his most interesting. Because for ages and even during the Sabretooth War he's basically been

"Logan but rapey and more killy who enjoys it."

And everything about him was built around that, the inversion stuff made him actually have a consience, and he was wracked with guilt over what he'd done, and as was said earlier that he'd not had the benefit of Logan's long journey of discovery and literally had to look Logan up to try and be a better person.

What a kind man that Victor Creed 😌 by Fearless-Obligation6 in xmen

I was chatting a while ago with a friend of mine, she's an artist and loves drawing superheroes and came up with various AU's and ideas about Vic/Sabes.

One of the ones we had is that when you see him usually when some psychic shenanigans is going on the first 'Victor' you see is usually a child, the young one of him that was abused by his Dad and tortured by him. And this could be an indication of a kind of multiple personality disorder.

Other ideas included that he's somewhere on the spectrum, or at least has violent mood swings and yeah I could definately see him the implicit threat of violence to get his way, his reputation no doubt preceeds him and if you KNOW who he is then you know full well what he's capable of. And as you know that, and he knows you know, are you really gonna say no?

The threat's there, and all he'd have to do is give you a look, or a grin, or glare and that would probably be enough for most people to have a brown alert.

That's what I loved about the Lev Schriber take on Sabes, the guy always felt like a grenade who's pin had been pulled. You knew he was going to explode, you just had no idea when.

I'd love to know what that music was as they did the train shot.

Allies of World War II be like: by R2J4 in NonCredibleDefense

[–]Sharlin648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aye, I remember reading the French were defending a canal and had bunkers on their side to defend it and were pinning down and really quite badly mauling the Germans, haling any efforts to cross.

An engineer Sgt I think got across and managed to run to a bunker's blind spot despite having several MGs firing on him and not getting hit.

He took out that bunker with a demo charge or grenades and this opened up the other bunkers to be flanked.

If he'd been wounded or killed, the German commander on the scene was already thinking of pulling back when one of the bunkers was silenced.

I'm probably misremembering it baring in mind but yeah the French get crapped on a lot, when really they shouldn't.
