    The big problem with trying Green Lantern in Arrow is that he'd be way, way too expensive. He's a walking CGI machine, after all.

    Those are the two missions I have yet to do.

    Not gonna spoil it, but the last two powers are pretty different. One you definitely know about, the other you don't.

    I rarely bother with poison because it's single-use and my combat damage is high enough without it ( though completing assassination missions by reverse-pickpocketing a poison onto the target is cute when it works ). But at this point I always use potions if I'm enchanting important items or upgrading items at the grindstone or the workbench. I can make +35% Fortify Enchanting potions and +142% Fortify Smithing potions. ( In the vanilla version of the game you get screwed out of your final Enchanter perk, in the sense that it doesn't do anything, but the fix/patch for this is incorporated into the Legendary Edition ). Where I draw the line is Fortify Barter: I'm not going to worry about drinking a potion every time I buy or sell something.

    They didn't know Canada existed when they created the calendar. Not their fault.

    But they did know of the Hyperboreans! I suppose you guys would be the Mechrihyperboreans, then.

    Hey, I invented a word!

    It's a pity we never considered that for a name. Albionoria, Borealia, Ursalia, and Mesopelagia, yes, but never that one.

    Really? Huh. Well, I suppose I'd have no way of knowing Canadian founding debates. :p

    I kind of like Mesopelagia, but it's not quite geographically accurate. Borealia is cool, but everybody knows that Homer has Boreas placed in Thrace. You contradict Homer at your peril.

    lol these are amazing. I think my favorite is Efisga, but only as a word and not an initialism, just because it looks absurd, like a name decided by committee. So do others like Hochelaga.

    Canadensia is silly. It's an attempt to Latinize an already admissible word in Latin, Canada. Transatlantica is just embarrassing. And Superior just puts a heavy burden on you. Norland's kinda cool for the Anglo-Saxon vibe.

    Edit: ID, be wary. I can always rename your username to something like "all hail Jello" :p

    I didn't say I wasn't interested in watching. It's educational :)

    As for the threat, I dare you.

    Was he assassinated by someone who really wanted to be called Hochelegander?

    You should see some of the proposals made for renaming Americans due to the fact that it's the name of the continent. They're pretty stupid, like Unitedstatesian. Really?

    The only one I like is Columbian because it refers to both our relatively unknown national personification,, as well the name of our capital. But American is ours. We had it first!

    Well, now you seem rather eager so it just wouldn't be as fun.
