Indeed not. Pity.

There is balance in all things. Live in symmetry with the world around you. If you must blow things up and steal from those around you, THAT'S WHAT RPGS ARE FOR!

Since April Fool's Day is on the weekend this year, I doubt we'll be seeing that.

Hufflepuffs are really good finders

I just checked the next unanswered approved questions.

If Greg pops in for April Fools answers, this could get quite amusing.

TODD> Huh... Guess Benjamin and Natasha must got loose?

This might interest anyone here who's read "Bad Guys" #1.

Of course, the evidence so far suggests that the Tazmanian Tiger's thylacines were recreated via genetic engineering in a "Jurassic Park" manner (with the hint that Sevarius was involved), rather than actual survivors in hiding.

Met up with Eric Lopez at "The Growing Popularity of Latin Superheroes: Marvel, DC and Beyond" here at WonderCon. Teased a bit about season 3 of YJ but for the most part it was pretty hush hush. He talked a about his reading up on Blue Beetle to prepare for the role and what kind of commonalities and stereotypes that often showed up in writing Latin based characters, like how a character like Jaime would have a best friend that was a "cholo" (basically young Mexican men that may be a part of a gang). Of course Eric then admitted that he actually did have several friends who were cholo so it was a little hard to call it an unfair generalization. He's a pretty cool guy really funny too, look forward to seeing him in season 3.

Question to the room?

Has anyone ever tried to estimate the average gliding speed of a gargoyle? Up until now I've just been assuming they glide at the speed of plot.

>Matthew Have a great time mate, be sure to tell us your experience being there. Only a week left before I meet Macbeth himself John Rhys-Davies at Wales Comic Con! :D

Xanatos: It's my first real stab at cliched villainy... How am I doing?
Like all that other stuff was just fairly normal for him.

I've always thought Xanatos's funniest moments were when he underreacts to the dramatic events around him. In "The Cage," Xanatos gives some long monologue to Derek, and then Goliath pulls himself up out of a pile of rubble.

X: Oh, hello Goliath. Didn't notice you there.

For me, though, the funniest moment in all of Gargoyles is in "The Edge," when Goliath is ranting and raving at Xanatos, and for no reason at all destroys the street lamp he has in his castle. I guess Goliath was just venting? I hope he didn't think that was accomplishing anything. And Xanatos just says "you're taking this much too personally."

Heading down to Anaheim for WonderCon this weekend. First time I ever met Greg was there at one of his Live Ask Greg events. Man how many years ago was that?

Difficult to call. I'm leaning toward "What are you going to do, bite my kneecaps off?" for the Pythonesque nature of it, but I'm not sure if it counts, being a line from the Xanatos Program, not Mr. X himself.

Eleven!

So on saturday I started watching the show again and yesterday it was time for "Long way to morning" and "Her brother's keeper". And Xanatos' line "Owen, call the police!" cracks me up every time. He had his reasons, but out of all the people, Xanatos would be the last one to call the police.

What do you think was the funniest thing Xanatos ever said?

It's less about completely new stuff and more things that may have been left out in the original release. I don't know if there was any unused voicework by Tony Jay, but if so, I would hope it could be restored in appropriate fashion. However, from what I can tell, no major changes are being done on the script or acting other than text corrections.

Regardless, the countdown is over and the Torment continues anew. So once again, the question must be asked and, perhaps this time, answered...

...what can change the nature of a man?

Sorry, eighth. Algernon beat me to both "seventh" and the Tony Jay commment.

Nothing new from Tony Jay, alas.

Seventh.

BRAINIAC> Not expecting anything new from Tony Jay unless the pull some Peter Cushing level necromancy.

Also...

SEVEN!

And with my perfect position in sixth once again, I have this to say...

http://planescape.com/

...if what I believe will be revealed is indeed shown in about seven and a half hours, it's time to enjoy some Keith David, Sheena Easton, Rob Paulsen, and Tony Jay once again (though I have no idea if there will be anything NEW from them).

To break tradition I will not plead the fifth.

THIRD!

Tomorrow (the 28th) marks the 10th anniversary since the issue "Invitation Only" was first released -- and that issue was the first completely new bit of Gargoyles canon to enjoy since the animated series ended. :)
