So you say you like Iron Man?

[dave_littler]

As anyone who pays attention to such things knows, the recent (and still-in-theatres) movie Iron Man is magnificent. It honestly stands comfortably shoulder-to-shoulder with such Super-Hero movies as X-Men 1 & 2, Spider-Man 2 & 2, and Batman Begins. It is a nearly flawless execution, not only standing on its own merits as a film, but (and herein

I understand how strange it is, but it's not so much more built on drama, but for having fun and trying to build up a promising character. The way we set it up is so that a character can have a goal and work towards it, while interacting and creating friendships, rivalries, etc.-- Okay, there's some drama, but it's not so much of a main focus as I'd say other roleplays have been.

The bad thing about me is that I'm not much of a facist, so I'd really be unwilling to control every aspect. I enjoy seeing other people work it out on their own. That does sound like a good idea, though... I'm kind of disappointed that I'm not really the type of person to pull a battle-centered setting properly. I know it works well with DnD-like games, but so far our's is more focused on character interaction with subtle user-controlled battle on the side.

No problem. I should warn you, though, that you won't be able to see much, as we have basically all the actual roleplay boards hidden from creeper view. Your application has to be accepted in order to get a good look at what's going on. The rules and stuff should give you a decent idea what it's all about, though.

Wow, do you work late. We're in the same province and it's almost 5am.

Yeah, I'm the head of security for a building complex in Vancouver; I'm here from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM five days a week. What about you? I noticed, glancing over your details, that you're in BC. Where are you at, and what keeps you up all night?

I'm down in the Southern Langley area just next to the border, but I work in Langley center at an awesome Toy Store you should check out since you're a comic fan.

I was staying up late mostly because I was too buzzed on coffee and way too bored to go to sleep.

Ugh. I lived in Langley for about a year and a half. It was a terrible experience. Granted, it was a crappy part of Langley (google map 20433 80th avenue for reference), but I prefer to avoid contact with Langley if I can.

For my part, most of my comics-related collectable purchases these days are statues. I've acquired statues of the New Avengers, Rick from The Walking Dead, and Ryuk from Death Note. They're expensive, but make for better decorations.

I actually have a couple of reccommendations for you: check out an LJ community called scans-daily, an RSS feed called mightygodking, and an LJ user called papajoemambo (all of which you can find in my user profile). All three are great for LJ-based comic book content.

Langley's pretty horrible, but my work's pretty good for comics, so it's not that bad anymore. If you like statues, you might like my work, too.

I've seen scans-daily, but I'll check the other two out later today. Thanks. :)

Very well! Name this establishment for me, then, that I may visit it and do commerce there. The only comic book store I can think of from my time there was a little place down by the bus loop, the Value Village and the Seven-eleven. Mind you, that was back around the year 1999 or so, so it's possible things have changed.

I think I recall which store that is, but they only sell Vintage comics. My work's called Toy Traders. In the back area, we have Star Wars, Transformers, G.I. Joe and Super Hero stuff. It's really quite neat.
