I can think of plenty of villains who fit that criteria. Think Blood Knight or Psycho for Hire types who aren't particularly ambitious or interested in ruling, and as long as Tatu gave them a consistent supply of things to smash they wouldn't have a problem doing what he says.

Sort of makes me wanna come back to Eclipse as Jetstream Sam. Or Senator Armstrong, in case the game needs a good dose of batshit goofiness.

I'm not even sure why I spoiled it. The game's been out for a while now.

To be fair, with a recent game like that it's only polite not to spoil things (I ended up getting spoiled on him IIRC because people failed to use spoiler mark up).

Saren freaking Arterius; reminding us why he was a badass villain in the first place. cool

Now to figure out how in the world Samus reacts to this.

Wait, what exactly is an Airy salute?

Now I want to replay Mass Effect 1 because of Saren...

Good job Colonial, this was awesome.

Yeah, a local Game Stop has an offer of "Buy Two Preowned Games, Get Selected Preowned Title free". Mass Effect 1 and 3 can be bought, with Mass Effect 2 one of the selected "frees".
Unfortunately, insufficient funds.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

Iconoclasm is the deliberate destruction within a culture of the culture's own religious icons and other symbols or monuments, usually for religious or political motives.

Alright, this is going to be a good one.

Looking forward to all three challenges- although I am excited for Anura's challenge the most. tongue The difference in excitement between all three challenges is minimal, though.

In regards to zombie apocalypse challenges... I did try making things interesting by having what was supposed to be a wave of basically unkillable enemies, and the idea behind them was to set up traps in this entire compound they had because through plot stuff everyone had gained the ability to warp reality and change the city around them. But most of them just wanted to stab things, or just wrote "we put up spikes", and they kept getting into situations that I had listed as TPK criteria, so eventually I just gave up and had them wipe out waves of what eventually turned into mooks.

I don't always post, but when I do, it's on a phone. Because I can't afford a computer. Stay broke, my friends.

Hey did you guys know I was planning on coming back into the game?

'Cuz I am. This is a spectacularly bad idea.

That's not something I came up with to make Plagueis sound tough, either; in the book he really does cut out a man's heart and eat it raw at one point.

Not a nice man, that Darth Plagueis.
