ParanoidObsessive 02/22/18 6:57:35 AM #212:	Since I'm on and have some time at the moment, here's a little bit of catch-up response-wise: Zeus posted... Was watching "Halfway Horrible" (Tales from the Crypt) and recognized the lead actor's voice as also being that of Lex Luthor in the DCAU. So I imdb'd him and apparently he's had a pretty lengthy and varied career (although a lot of it was VA-work) You can't see it, but I assure you, there was a strong look of disgust on my face when you said that, because I've been a huge Clancy Brown fan since before at least a few people in this topic were alive. He's the goddamned Kurgan for Pete's sake! And I'm the quintessential 80s kid, so I also knew him from Buckaroo Banzai, the Bride - where he was paired with another favorite of mine, David Rappaport - and Pet Sematary, so I have a hard time actually remembering a point in my life where I DIDN'T know who he was. Especially when he'd keep popping up every now and then in stuff like Shawshank and Starship Troopers in the 90s, and more recently stuff like Sleepy Hollow. And like you pointed out, he's done a ton of voice acting over the years as well. Then again, I always just used to love blowing people's minds by pointing out that the giant monster badguy from Highlander is also the guy doing the voice of Mr. Krabs on Spongebob. Zeus posted... I stumbled onto this clip on Imgur and, while I like it a lot, it's labeled "Lawful Evil"... which... idk, doesn't seem to describe the alignment. Frankly, it seems more Chaotic Neutral. But I'll let the D&D experts here be the final judge. I can't see it. Imgur is a terrible hosting site, and using NoScript renders it pretty much impossible to see anything there. shadowsword87 posted... DnD Expert Opinion: Alignment is awful and can't really be used to describe anyone with even a small amount of character. Also it's vague as f*** so everyone will bitch to their heart's content about what's what so it's not really useful. See, there you go, spouting your venomous slander again. And on my birthday, no less! For shame! As always, it's time for my mantra - "Alignment is fine, stop playing in shitty games with shitty players and shitty DMs and you wouldn't be having so many problems with it." shadowsword87 posted... Then you have to go to the second layer of Why Alignment Sucks: motive vs actions. Did they do this purely to be an asshole, or was it to entice "chaos" into the system to then be used systematically, or any other reason. Does that matter? That's an incredibly simplistic (and somewhat incorrect) view of alignment. Intent/motive really only matters for half the equation, while actions ARE the other half.
