TV tropes is down. By the way lordsathien, when I saw you call Arthur Petrelli a smug snake I knew you read TV tropes.

Maybe a topic on the matter?

A topic regarding what?

Also, it looks like tvtropes is back up and working, so the link should as well.

Y'know what plot-line cliche I think they should do away with?

That whole "at some point over half-way through the game, the guy who's been telling you to do stuff reveals himself to be the master villian, or the master villian tells you that everything you've been doing up through now has been part of his plan."

I think eventually the heroes are going to catch on, & realize that the best way to save the world is just sit around eating nachos, so the villian will have to do his own damn dirty work.

Why haven't you mentioned the spikes? You know, like in Mega Man.

You still have a lot to learn, Nerdtendo.


You should totally check out the IRC channel.
While you're at it, go check out my band, Her Majesty's Heroines.
