I know its 5 am
and that's probably why I can't wake up at 10
But this needed to be ressurected for anyone who still reads this:
Scion Mattly (1:01:13 AM): Ugh, Reign
Scion Mattly (1:01:19 AM): tell me you at least hate Reign
Alpha AndvariAR (1:01:27 AM): Reign... what?
Scion Mattly (1:01:49 AM): its an anime
Alpha AndvariAR (1:02:39 AM): Just called "Reign?"
Scion Mattly (1:02:43 AM): yep
Scion Mattly (1:02:48 AM): its about Alexander the Great
Scion Mattly (1:02:54 AM): drawn by the artist of Aeon flux
Alpha AndvariAR (1:03:04 AM): Straight-forward, like a documentary?
Scion Mattly (1:03:12 AM): oh, no
Scion Mattly (1:03:16 AM): all made up I wager
Scion Mattly (1:03:25 AM): unless Alexander was ever called the "Devil-King"
Alpha AndvariAR (1:03:39 AM): Oh yeah, he was.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:03:44 AM): Remember, way back in the 80's?
Alpha AndvariAR (1:03:51 AM): Good old ALEXANDER THE GREAT DEVIL KING.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:04:14 AM): He conquered 132% of the known world in 88 days in summer of '91.
Scion Mattly (1:04:15 AM): hehe
Alpha AndvariAR (1:04:48 AM): You know. He conquered the whole world, and then the air, and then the ground, the ocean, and eventually he took over some of the moon. Really.
Scion Mattly (1:05:25 AM): hehe
Scion Mattly (1:05:37 AM): he was working on killing the mole people, when he caught fever and died.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:05:59 AM): Cabin fever, mind you. Back then, it was a legit communicable disease.
Scion Mattly (1:06:41 AM): hehe
Alpha AndvariAR (1:07:07 AM): He was severely weakened, and in the illusory daze of his hyper-libidinous state, the last survivors of the moleman rebellion snuck onto his private submarine and cut off his left testicle. Which was, of course, the only way to permanently kill a devil-king.
Scion Mattly (1:07:20 AM): Of course
Scion Mattly (1:07:29 AM): and they ate it, to consume his delicious courage
Alpha AndvariAR (1:07:30 AM): It really IS a great story. Its a shame if the anime didn't do it justice.
Scion Mattly (1:07:34 AM): Indeed
Alpha AndvariAR (1:07:37 AM): Wow. I missed that part.
Scion Mattly (1:07:49 AM): Especially since there's no way his armor could save his life...or that the word "evil" could be applied.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:08:36 AM): Nobody knows how they even cut the testicle off, seeing as his skin was made of wrought iron and blister packaging fused into one adamantiumanian alloy.
Scion Mattly (1:08:50 AM): yeeep
Alpha AndvariAR (1:09:07 AM): That, alone with his ability to stop bullets just like Neo, and the fact that he was over 33 feet tall kept him going strong on every battlefield.
Scion Mattly (1:09:24 AM): And the laser cannon.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:09:52 AM): On which arm? The left cannon disabled electronics but the right-arm laser could cut through matter.
Scion Mattly (1:10:18 AM): no, the one he had mounted on the Scorpion tail prosthetic.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:10:55 AM): He got that so much later after World War 4.3 that I felt it inconsequential.
Scion Mattly (1:11:03 AM): Ah, right
Alpha AndvariAR (1:11:13 AM): Did that one cause hemmorages or did it just bring about submissive behavior?
Scion Mattly (1:11:53 AM): That one contacted the orbital bombardment platforms.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:12:16 AM): Wait, he got those off-planet before he had the tail put on?
Scion Mattly (1:12:28 AM): he used a Remote before
Alpha AndvariAR (1:12:35 AM): Whoa!
Scion Mattly (1:12:38 AM): but after he got the tail, he could free up an arm for another gun
Alpha AndvariAR (1:12:40 AM): I had the whole thing backwards.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:13:01 AM): So THAT'S how he destroyed the great wall of China during the '88 Olympics!
Scion Mattly (1:13:07 AM): yep
Alpha AndvariAR (1:13:46 AM): Is that what got Washington monument during the Battle of the Badon Hill?
Scion Mattly (1:14:13 AM): No, no, that was his elite attack squad of suicide ninjas
Alpha AndvariAR (1:14:30 AM): Man, I never thought they had done anything useful.
Scion Mattly (1:14:39 AM): well
Scion Mattly (1:14:44 AM): the monument fell on the whole regiment
Scion Mattly (1:14:48 AM): so you're pretty right
Alpha AndvariAR (1:14:52 AM): What was he thinking? All that training in the stealth arts just to explode themselves.
Scion Mattly (1:15:14 AM): he was a demon king. most people just surrendered because of that.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:15:56 AM): I think he was just really tall and had funny bone structure. The leathery skin was just a result of his acne problems. The demon thing was just superstition.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:16:33 AM): How he could start fires with his eyes I still don't get, tho.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:16:43 AM): But that's probly why they made an anime about his life.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:17:14 AM): Does the series cover, in detail, his failed marriage to Maya Angelou in 1997?
Scion Mattly (1:17:33 AM): Hmm
Scion Mattly (1:17:37 AM): only the Hentai OVAs
Alpha AndvariAR (1:17:46 AM): ....ugh.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:17:52 AM): No wonder his autobiography left that out.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:18:22 AM): Did it reveal all the corruption during his administration as governor of Rhode Island, or did it put a more positive spin on it?
Scion Mattly (1:18:37 AM): oh, you better bet they spun it
Alpha AndvariAR (1:18:42 AM): !
Scion Mattly (1:18:44 AM): Now he's "the Savior of Providence"
Alpha AndvariAR (1:18:47 AM): Those bastards.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:19:06 AM): What will it take for the REAL story to be heard?
Alpha AndvariAR (1:19:29 AM): The story of a tortured teenager who was bitten by a radioactive possum and let the endowed superpowers go to his head?
Scion Mattly (1:19:38 AM): And the lasers.
Alpha AndvariAR (1:19:48 AM): And the LASERS, dammit, the LASERS!
