    Also, Marsh: Will you be doing the Pokemon game in here or in CF?

    I like having my own thread. With my haphazard update schedule, searching through 10+ pages of banter looking for IC posts is a bit much for me.

    Okay. I don't check the CF forum at all, really, so be sure to tell us when you get your thread set up.

    They are indeed. I compulsively buy people copies of that on Steam if they haven't played it.

    You could say I'm a fan.

    what was that one guy in zoids

    who had the pterodactyl robot

    and normally he was really shy and meek

    but if he broke the sound barrier he basically went super saiyan

    Gonna guess this one, since he has the flying dinosaur robot.

    For those who haven't seen any getter robo, refer to main character of G-Gundam for being of a similar archetype.

    Edit: I mean for the "inside robot" bits

    An ear-splitting shriek pierces the air as the enormous monster opens its vertical mouth, exposing rows of horizontal teeth and three thrashing tongues. It’s a heavily built thing, nearly as tall as the skyscraper next to which it stands, with short, stubby legs and a pair of lengthy arms rippling with muscle, each tipped with six razor-sharp claws the length of a bus.

    Ugh, do I hate the vagina mouth ones,” crackles a processed voice, as a heavy robot foot slams down on a long-abandoned parked car. The pose of the TITAN it belongs to suggests disdain as it unslings a long rifle from its back, bringing the rifle up to its shoulder and taking careful aim. The TITAN appears to be barely modified from the standard issue, painted in earth tones with the exception of a long purple cape hanging from its shoulders. “Are you in position, Brad?”

    “Just don’t take the shot early again.” A voice comes through into the cockpit of the sniper TITAN. The cockpit appears to be a small room, with images from all sides displayed on the circular walls. A tall man stands in its middle, the holographic image of a rifle in his hands, wearing a skintight brown jumpsuit with the words STAN written on the back in white. Maybe this is Stan. Stan raises his hand and makes a “yak-yak-yak” motion, the TITAN whirring around him and the wallscreens showing his TITAN making the same motion outside.

    “Stan, when will you learn we can see it when you do shit like that?” Dust falls from the deathly quiet city as a previously unseen TITAN strides forward. It’s huge, dwarfing Stan’s, four elephantine legs supporting a bulbous central mass with three telescoping arms tipped with four pronged claws. It’s crafted of polished black metal, two beady blue eyes on the torso the only indication of which way it’s facing- that is, except for the purple cape hanging from the rear of the bulb.

    The monster, perhaps irked at being ignored in favor of predictable, dull character-building squabbling, takes a thunderous step forward, then another, moving assuredly closer to the silver and green towers just visible in the distance.

    “Okay big fucko, that’s close enough.” Stan’s TITAN snaps back into aiming. “Brad, I’m taking the shot in three, two, one.”

    The laser rifle bores a neat hole straight through the monster’s knee, and nearly as fast as the shot comes another TITAN bounding through the intersection the beast just stepped into. It runs on three of its limbs, the fourth held high with a curved blade emerging from its forearm, and it leaps into a ferocious slash that severs the monstrosity’s leg entirely. It spins in midair and lands with both legs and one hand on the ground in a totally wicked pose, sliding with the momentum of the jump. Now that it’s still, you can see the lupine features of its head, the face of a wolf stamped in metal snarling at its opponent- and a long purple cape billowing around it.

    The disturbingly yonic monster stumbles, what with its legs being entirely neutralized, and falls to the street, its enormous mass sending ripples through both its own body and the city around it. Glass shatters and falls from windows. The beast stirs, and long tendrils extend from the stump of its leg back to the severed limb, pulling it closer, regenerating.

    The imposing black TITAN lumbers forward, its legs pounding deep holes in the pavement. It barely halts its momentum in time as it extends its three arms, placing one to the front and one to each side of the large building beside the recovering creature. The TITAN’s claws open and begin to spin rapidly, and a red grid of laser-like light extends outwards from them, joining up and covering the entire structure in a glimmering web.

    “GRAVE-” grunts a voice from inside the black TITAN, as it heaves back and breaks the building free of its foundations. The entire building, preserved within the structural integrity grid, is borne aloft by the black TITAN and its telescoping arms, and the whine of stressed machinery fills the street. It moves the building slightly to the side.

    DIGGER!” roars the voice, and it slams the building downward onto the beast. The structural integrity grid collapses as it hits the monster, but the full force of the structure is thrown down onto it, and it is instantly pulverized and pushed deep into the ground with the power and weight of the blow.

    The three TITANS gather before the wreckage and stand abreast, each looking down onto it almost scornfully. A thick salmon-colored fluid trickles out from between some crushed I-beams.

    Stan’s TITAN leans down, warning the goop with an admonishing finger. “Don’t fuck with the Assault Nobles.”

    The three Titans stand upright, sweep up their capes and hold them across their chests, and turn and walk away.

    as long as your game doesn't have a particularly complicated system I definitely think AIM/IRC sessions are the way to go

    and I also think it's funny that you're saying I have the right idea when I stole it from you in the first place

    even though I don't think you actually ended up doing the AIM session game you talked about

    I like doing "downtime" type stuff over IRC or what have you. Much easier to get just one or two people together to get some shopping, short miniquest, or NPC interaction done quick.
