Fileplanet? I think I need to find a stronger word for No.

I was thinking on what I didn't like about Ultimate Spider-Man. Something about the plot seemed ill-concieved and tacked on. After thinking, I think I've figured it out: poor usage of characters and canon material. SPOILER ALERT.

Firstly was the usage of Wolverine. Don't get me wrong, I loved fighting Wolverine as Venom. However, that whole scene felt to me like they had just added it in for, "Hey, let's have Wolverine appear!" And then they don't even get his character right, not right there at the end. Venom took Wolverine apart. He dominated Logan's mutant arse. Now, why would Wolverine just let this go? Is Wolverine the type to just let someone kick his ass, and not do anything about it? NO. He would have tracked Eddie, he would have gone for a rematch. He would not have just let Venom leave and been done with it. But they didn't consider that, did they? No, they just wanted a cool Logan fight.

Next was the usage of the Green Goblin. He appears, Spidey chases him, fight scene, yay we win. Just like every other villain. Norman is treated the same as Rhino and Beetle, but...why? Isn't there DEPTH to Norman? Isn't there so much more that could have been done with his breaking out? Norman is the most impactful villain Spidey's faced so far in the Ultimate series. Peter's actually AFRAID of Norman, that's how powerful he is. They had so much potential bringing the Green Goblin into the story, and they squandered it.

The Carnage appearance seemed...poorly thought out. Mainly because it didn't make a lick of sense. The Venom pieces inside Peter would have turned him into the black-costumed Spider-Man, not Carnage. Ultimate Carnage is a completely different character, a completely different "The Suit" combined with bits of Peter's DNA to create a lifeform. Peter Parker, enveloped by Venom symbiote, becomes the black Spider-Man, NOT CARNAGE. Next time they make a game, even if it is based on a remake of canon material, I would appreciate they actually take a look at the canon material they are using, and the canon material of the remake, and try and get their facts straight. If they really wanted to use Carnage, there are so many ways they could have done it. This was not one of them.

Lastly, where the hell was S.H.I.E.L.D.?! Nick Fury is not a man to sit back and let things happen. He's a man that takes care of them. First, having him get Peter to defeat Green Goblin for him was deeply breaking character. He wants Peter OUT OF THIS BUSINESS. And I quote, "My reccomendation to you is, enjoy your youth. You're too young to be this involved with the big boys. There will be plenty of time and opportunity for you here later." He doesn't want to use Spidey to beat a bad guy. He wants Spidey to BUTT OUT, and he makes that plenty clear every friggin' time we meet him. But that's not what really grates me, what really grates me is that he never once shows up for Brock. Venom is a big, nasty creature of mass destruction, and Fury's not the kind of man to just look away. Now, I have no doubts Fury knew about his attacks. Fury knows friggin' EVERYTHING. He could have been so much fun in a Venom storyline. Think about that. You fight plenty of Trask soldiers, but when do you ever see S.H.I.E.L.D.? Quote: "This is a fully trained Hulkbuster unit. Y'know, for the Hulk. And believe me, kid, you're no Hulk." Wouldn't Nick Fury and a Hulkbuster unit have been an impressive boss fight for Venom?


Anyway, that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

Ohhh, Fileplanet got a facelift...

And a FREE subscription is worth it (Although I don't know what that entails now), but not paying for one.

Also, any The Sims 1 players know of any good resources and sites for mods and stuff? I've been looking around, but almost everything is either:
A. Small and has nothing good.
B. Massive, but requires payment to access, or
C. Dead.

Yep! The 7 Deadly Sims!
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.

I used to, but it feels like it's been years. Plus, most of them were primarily "Marvel Comics" character skins, which as most of you probably know, Marvel firmly shut down. Yes, the mod sites. No, not just CoH.

A place where you can download Darth Vader, Baroness, and Dr. Ian Malcolm all at one location? You sold me!

Yeah, that's where I got the majority of all my Sims stuff... there were a couple other sites, but I can't remember the names... and I think some of them changed to memeberships.

This site seems to have a ton of good stuff. The only thing I can't seem to find is one of those Rejuvinators JJ was talking about (I found mentions, but I think they've all been locked away at pay sites). I think this site should last a while though...

Not sure what he was talking about, but this is what I always used.

Ohhhhh, not quite the same, but it'll do.

Mostly my problem is getting Social up. Even when my sim talks to people, it doesn't seem to refill the Social bar very fast... JJ's suggestion was a device that maxed out all of your stats when you use it.

Well, how outgoing are they? If you don't put anything into that bar, then they won't get their social up very well.

The best thing I've found is to have about three or four people; have two to three work, and have the other guys maintain the social contacts. That way everyone can get taken care of fairly well. For the people that work, have them watch TV together, or something like that. If you have every one eat at once, or watch TV at once, it'll build their social while they do that.

Also, make lawn gnomes. Seriously.

He's got a pretty low Outgoing ranking so that Social goes down slower, but since Hot Date came out, that also means it's a lot harder to get Social back up since conversations are difficult to keep going (Before HD, you could spend an hour with someone and practically max out social from 0...). And it's just one Sim, so no regular group activities.

And I remember Lawn Gnomes. Good money once you get high enough...

It's "The Sims" code for being a columbian drug mule.

No, actually you get a Lawn Gnome Workshop where you can make and sell Lawn Gnomes. The higher your Mechanical skill, the better the Gnome, and the more it's worth. I think they eventually sell for 1000 simoleons per gnome...

Hell yeah! You could get more money with lawn gnomes than you could with a job. I'd always have one guy making gnomes like, 24/7. Only $100, but when you could make them for that much, you could pump those things out like nobody's business.

Anyway, if you get to be good enough friends with a Sim, you can invite them to be a roommate, or marry them (I don't know which way your Sim swings, so I'll let you decide what to do). You might want to consider making a couple other Sims, give them a phone, and then invite them over and make them roommates or something.

Well, the Sims are very open minded, that's all. they can love anyone and everyone. Just not while someone else they love sees them doing it, otherwise they tend to get upset.
