Big Man Japan Vs. Red Cliff

Somedays you just don’t have much to talk about. I mean we’re knee deep in the Sport’s Abyss, I can’t discuss my future D&D plans to much since I know some of the people who actually read this drivel are in my monthly group and I look forward to surprising them, I haven’t read comics in TWO MONTHS so I don’t have a lot to rant about, and things going on the real world have exhausted my rage to this point this particular week. SO I decided to take a chance and try to quantify one of those things in my life that has always been more of a mysterious badge of courage, that’s right GEEK CRED! I’ve decided to throw together a test, that will without fail and using only the most up to date purely scientific data collection & correlation methods determine just where YOU the intrepid readers of this said blog land in the world of GEEK CRED. Understand this is on the honor system, if you want to be a party pooper then go ahead and Google or Wiki answers, but remember I didn’t need to do that to come up with the questions, so you shouldn’t need it to answer them, unless your just F’N Clown Shoes.

    3) Who is the best captain in the history of Star Trek? (Remember to show your work)
    b. Cpt. Picard
    ~ I know it would be an easy point to pick Kirk (he’s your favorite) but I grew up with
    Captain Jean Luc Picard and all his bald headed glory. If I was assigned to the
    Enterprise and I had to face Klingons, Q, and Riker’s advances I want a captain who
    exudes confidence, never looks panicked, has a sexy smile and does not…. pause …. more than … once … a sentence. Plus, an accent usually never hurts.

    e. All of the above

    5) What is the best George Romero ‘Dead’ film? (Remember to show your work)
    c. Dawn Of The Dead
    ~ Dawn of the Dead is my favorite Romero flick because it is the only one that I ever
    remember watching. Oh, and I also dig the half optimistic/ half pessimistic ending.

    8) LEGO Batman Vs. LEGO Darth Vader, who wins & why? (Remember to show your work)
    ~ This pairing has me terribly troubled. Batman has the gadgets but Darth Vadar has
    the Force. Batman would definitely win if he has time to plan and Vadar has no chance
    is a purely physical fight. I know I have previously voted for Vadar, but today I think I
    talked myself into Batman due to Vadar fragile nature. I think Batman would sucker
    Vadar into a long fight, the whole time scheming on how to get into (or off) Vadar’s suit
    and attack his weak physical nature. Plus, Batman is always prepared for everything.
    Even the things he does not know yet.

    9) You, a 3rd level fighter, and your party, consisting of the following 3rd level characters; an assassin, an invoker, & a warlord enter into an encounter with the fabled Tarasque, WHO dies first & why? (Remember to show your work)

    ~ If you are asking whether I like the books or the movie better, than I will
    unfortunately have to go with the movies. Books are almost better than their movie
    adaptations, but I hear that these books are very dry reading.

    29) Aquaman, incredibly lame OR incredibly underrated? (Remember to show your work)
    b. Incredibly Underrated

    ~ It cannot be the greatest Zombie book ever written because I have not finished it yet. The things that give it great potential is the first person narratives and how they are tailored to fit each individual character, the personalities, and the raw potential for the stories to become fiction. There is a small part of believability in each chapter.
