every man should own a suit
even if it's a salvation army suit. that's fine
but every man needs at least one suit

West coast is the best coast--hippies for life.
My favorite women are the Berkeley women you see on the street who wear comfortable clothes and have waist-length iron grey hair, and when you look at them you just know that they protested every war and are generally awesome.
Before deployment I loaded up my laptop with RPG's, on the premise that they are the biggest time-sinks and generally my favorite genre and thus the wisest investment of hard disk space
I included only my very favorite games from other genres. Saints Row 2, GTA IV, Call of Pripyat, Mount and Blade...
I didn't anticipate that sometimes I would just want to shoot something. Which is what I want right now. Now, of course, those games I just listed involve shooting people. But it's not their primary focus. In Call of Pripyat shooting people does sometimes happen but it is always secondary to exploration. In GTA IV and Saints Row 2, to be honest, the shootouts sometimes feel more like whack-a-mole than shooting.
Other games that are devoted to the gunplay of course offer a better, more visceral shooting experience. Modern Warfare 2, Bad Company 2 (Which unfortunately doesn't work at all anyway), and Arma II (<3 ) are all included here, but I didn't feel that their singleplayer campaigns warranted keeping them installed. The internet here is just too slow and unstable to play any kind of online game beyond a MUD.
I guess I'll try to download one of them anyway. Probably Arma in light of this expansion that's apparently out.

What the hell do I need a suit for? The only time it could come up is if some dudes from the internet insist that I wear one while we go get drunk.

there will be many of them, and my ocd desire to have a character of each class in each faction will be satisfied. many will stay at level 1 forever, but that's okay.
I don't know where I belong. I am classy and elitist like an east-coaster but depraved and sex-starved like a west coaster.
It means you belong in Kansas.
Sorry.
We're too classy for any of you plebes.

Hey [chat]
I'm in a good mood today.
Although, I was just placed into an HR debate to be a character witness by the defendant without my permission or notification, so I got to get that shit resolved.
BUT I CAN DO THAT FROM MY SHINY NEW IPHONE 3GS, and I gave my wife the 3G, it's her first REAL phone. She loves it, and I got nookie/brownie points.

basically i want the x-axis to be a non-integer scalar (my four semi-arbitrary classifiers), the y axis to be the numerical data point, and have each data point in the scatter plot labeled with the animal number
Yeah, I've never really had great luck fucking around with Excel charts--I just haven't had much need to use them so really don't know the best ways around things. Good luck? :P

Seriously, Mori, I realize you live in a place where coonskin caps are still considered business casual but when you escape 1800s land you'll find that a suit really is a necessity for a dude. If nothing else it gives you extra possibilities for places to go, things to do etc.

This is fair. Since I live in an oppressive state I guess I can't argue about what it's like to live in any other state.

And sometimes you just wanna go somewhere nice and classy just for the experience. This means having a suit.
Have you seen Justice League Unlimited? Those guys figured out how to do this a long time ago, to the point that they largely ended up surpassing the comics.
i haven't seen it.
i guess it strikes me as hard to really frame a legitimate threat as well as have real human concerns in a mythic-level sort of scenario.
It's absolutely possible if the writers have their heads screwed on straight. Basically I think a lot of the reason people watch/read superheroes is the reason they used to go to the opera or whatever: to experience big, larger-than-life emotions and conflict played out on the largest possible stage. Doing it right is just a matter of connecting the exterior action to the interior emotions, the same as anything else.
Look at something like the original Matrix. People loved the outscale conflicts in that but also managed to connect to some degree with the characters. And that's not even a classic of writing or anything - but it's telling that the sequels, which had even more action but way less effective characterization, were more indifferently received.
watchmen had a pretty insightful take on it i thought.
Watchmen's critique of comics was actually for me the worst thing about it. Aside from the really obvious fundamental critiques of the genre that everyone knows about (it's not realistic, why wear costumes, wouldn't you get shot?, etc.) - stuff that anyone who reads that material has long since already reconciled with and moved on past - I think it really missed the boat in terms of understanding readers' motivations for coming to those sorts of stories.
Arguably, what ruined the matrix sequels was (partly) the fact that Neo was overpowered once he figured out his deal at the end of the first movie, so they had to kind of invent escalating threats to challenge him. I mean there were other things wrong too, but that was one. If you can fly and stop time then really who's gonna be able to take you on and why do you need teammates?
Kingdom Come was a reasonably good stab at trying to make a mythic sort of story, but it basically had to be told from the perspective of a regular dude. Whatever Watchmen's flaws that you mentioned as a critique, it turned out that the only real superhuman character(s) - Ozy and Dr. Manhattan - were central characters to the story but from a storytelling perspective were definitely third-person. They could not be normal people with sympathetic concerns simply because of their power levels.
I mean every superman story revolves around him losing his powers somehow. There's a reason for that.

Even when I was dirt poor living in a wasp-riddled trailer in Missouri, I owned two suits; one for formal stuff and one to just tool about a nice restaurant in.
It's like a woman not having a LBD somewhere in their wardrobe; it makes you the oddball not to have it.

Eh, suits give a better impression. Also, sometimes you may wanna go somewhere nice.
