FFS, Magus pushes crates and aberrations around with telekinesis and his argument is strength? You don't even need magic to make people stronger. Are there no levers in Magus' universe?

Eh, even if Magus just wanted to wake her up, Elliot's reaction is justified. Magus conspired with a parasitic lifeform to take over Elliot's and Ellen's bodies. He didn't hesitate to squash his former ally like a bug after the inevitable betrayal. Elliot has absolutely no reason to trust someone who's capable of doing all that and can kill with a hand gesture.

Ellen doesn't even want to be a battle mage, which was the stated reason for his decision, so how does this even make sense?

They'd have to be two different universes because the alternative version of Elliot in Ellen's universe was Ellen and Magus in the other.

I think it would really be better if the players could choose the direction of their move after rolling the dice. That would allow for more strategic thinking and the various attraction / repellant effects would be more relevant.

- Just to clarify: permanency in this context means that the transformation becomes the new base form, right? - And judging from Tedd's shocked reaction and Magic's explanation, the transformations had the potential of becoming permanent with all the magic energy sustaining them, they were just never kept on long enough to make that happen.

So, are there people who got permanently transformed so far? I suppose Vladia would be, but then again, she's part Uryuom - does that make it not permanent? Felix/Felicia and Kitty are also likely candidates for permanency, at least at some point in the future.

To confuse you even more: cheetahs are said to have very dog-like personalities.

Honestly, I wonder why 'Magic' would assume that it could stay hidden for any amount of time when there are beings such as Col. Sanders around, who're limited to manipulating their environment by 'guiding and empowering' people. Even without the internet, that would be a recipe for disaster.

Robin Williams was such an amazing voice actor in that role. I really miss him.

She looks so happy!

Liefeld and Tedd's father already agree with Arthur, that's why they work in a clandestine branch of the government that tries to keep Magic hidden. I also don't think he's ever discussed magic with either of them on an equal footing, considering that they've been in an superior-subordinate relationship. It's unlikely that Arthur would get a chance to discuss magic with a politician who holds a divergent opinion on that matter either, since the only politicians assigned to his Department of Magic are people like Liefeld. TV hosts are generally useless in debates and interviews, they frequently let their guests away with blatant falsehoods in order to maintain the appearance of impartiality. Also keep in mind that Arthur's role in public was that of the "crazy of fool who believes in magic". His job was to discredit his own side in order to make the people who're sceptical of magic look good. None of the above is going to help him here. I think he spent years coddled up in a comfortable bubble designed to confirm his beliefs and is now scheduled for a rude awakening. It really boils down to the argument Pandora has made: magic can no longer stay hidden, humans have invented mundane means that are just as effective as magic when it comes to to causing harm - and Scarf's attempt to shoot Raven with a gun just proves that. So all a total magic reset would accomplish is take away all the good things magic can provide, such as new means of healing people.

Or maybe Mr. Verres thinks his kid's sexuality and gender issues are none of Arthur's business.

Honestly, without any mechanic to counter attacks, taking spaces from other player seems ridiculously easy in this game.

No undergarments?

It's more likely due to size. My six-year-old niece can hardly keep up with me either and that's certainly ~not~ because of a lack of energy on her side.

I wonder when Dan will realize that '"implied (partial) nudity" essentially translates to "limiting youself to drawing your characters from bad angles and in awkward poses".

Pandora: "Susan, I am your grandmother!" Susan: "NOOO! Not a Star Wars reference!!!"

Before Friday's comic gets dropped on us: any bets on Captain Koala throwing a boomerang in retaliation to getting hit in the face?

Does Mjolnir return to the hand of its wielder in the original mythology?

Aegis-fang?

Has anyone pointed out yet that it was really stupid of Sirleck to void these bonuses if the related objectives aren't met with 100% perfection? There's absolutely no reason for the muppets to work together now that one of them has been killed. (At least no reason they'd consider valid.)

Not Barney, I think these guys look more like muppets. Next up:

She could just be following Mrs. Dunkel's "keep it between girls" line of thinking.
