Can be applied to many areas of Dominions, but possibly best used to describe all proposed methods of trying to beat LA Ermor once they've got a dominant position established.

--------------------

Gandalf P, "What did you do Ray?" is definately the best GB quote :-) And can be applied to any mage in Dominions who decides to cast a random spell of his own choosing rather than the one you told him to. I know all my mages tend to be called 'Ray' because of this :-)

Oh oh! "They mostly come at night..... mostly."

And I have to say, my favorite from Ghostbusters would be, "I'm a bit fuzzy on the whole good/bad thing."

And Omni, you got me, I did not see that as -stranger-.

I think because because of how you said "originally an Aeon Flux quote", it just hit me square between the eyes.

And I know Aeon Flux, I used to watch it on MTV when it was still just shorts, that often had no dialog, or perceptible plot even, but we still loved it.

Also, the bonus quote, 5 points to whoever gets it-

"They sucked his brains out."

Obviously refers to Illithids..... or does it?!

Originally an Aeon Flux quote, from the second full length episode, I believe. The Joker also says it in the new Batman, I'd say its more of an easter egg there than a rip-off; they knew their inspirations, and cult influences of the mid-90's were very prominent. In fact, I found the same interplays, juxtapostions, and themes from Aeon Flux were all touched upon in that movie. I smelled a little Twisted Metal too; but that's probably just the psycho clown.

Originally?

What does not kill me, makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols, 1888
German philosopher (1844 - 1900)

Kids these days.

read the quote a little more carefully. its a play on nietzsche. i'd suggest watching the aeon episode too, it was from the first run of full lengths, when Peter Chung was still doing most of the work making them, so its really good. i don't know if you can find them online streaming, but i know there is a torrent out there somewhere, i'd even suggest buying the DVD; they're more than just cool, their cult. you're friends will be amazed.
