87	->'''Chris''': Uzi, at this point, can we agree that Clark is basically really dumb?\
88	'''David''': They say flight is the last power to show up, but at this point I’m just hoping to see ''regular'' intelligence, never mind ''super''-intelligence.\
89	'''Chris''': Seriously, just picking up an artifact from a dead, technologically advanced civilization and goofing around with it as soon as you see it is quite possibly the stupidest thing we’ve seen Clark do, and that includes referring to himself as “The Blur.”

91
92	->I would think if you had one mission in life, that mission being kill {{the Antichrist}} or all life dies, you might train a bit. I would personally move to Asia and only come back when I have in fact become a ninja like Batman. That being said I do set high goals for myself. But I would personally be happy if the assassins for Christ were not middle aged fat asses who have gorged on too many communion wafers. These guys aren’t just out of shape, they are klutzes to boot. Let me give you an example. So Damien is getting interviewed on some news program and one of the monks has found a way onto the set. For some reason the monk thinks he should go on the rafters above the set. Why? I guess a thirty foot leap off the balcony with a dagger was a better option [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim than just running up and stabbing Damien]] but whatever. While he is up there, he trips, gets his foot caught in some of the rigging and he swings from the rafters. While this is happening he knocks over some stage lights which set the curtains on fire. The monk swings around, wraps himself in plastic sheeting, swings over to the burning curtains, then sets himself on fire which simultaneously burns him and shrink wraps him to death. That had nothing to do with Satan or evil forces; the dude was just a dumbass.

112	->I've had idiot protagonists [[VideoGame/WatchDogs I've despised]], and ones [[VideoGame/KingpinLifeOfCrime I've loved]], and I've found two commonalities for why I love the ones I do. [...] #1: Know who and what you're writing. This could also be "Know how your character comes off". [...] A character being an idiot isn't bad writing, bad writing is mishandling that fact. ''Neuro'' knows James is an idiot, it's going places with it. Get excited. #2: Be an idiot along the way, not in the way. [...] This isn't a call to make games as short as possible, cutting out all the fluff. No, I'm not that much of a curmudgeon. It's about how progress is framed. A player fighting so the player character can undercut their progress is rarely a rewarding experience. [...] If a protagonist is a window through which to view a setting, James has the curtains drawn.

145	->They actually did an interview where Sid, the supposed top baby face, was so stupid he couldn’t find the arena. He kept calling in from his cell phone saying he was lost. 'Guys, can you hear me?' he asked in at least three different segments. Clearly, nobody in the company ever learned that the one thing fans will absolutely not support is an idiot babyface.
