Avengers 1: Captain America Costume

So, I realized that I have no idea how the helmet of the 2012 suit works.

On one hand, it's clearly separate from the jacket of the suit, but on the other, it's attached to it even if Steve isn't wearing it.

There's a scene in the final battle when one of the Chitauri tears it off by pulling it back, and that's when I realized - it's not a helmet, it's a ski mask.

They sent Captain America to fight gods and aliens in a balaclava. And based on the way it folds on his back like a hoodie, I sincerely doubt it's made out of something actually protective.

I also found this photo on Reddit.

And you know what the Avengers 1 suit looks reality similar to? The USO costume.

The neck is the same, the mask is the same, it has the blue belt and the white on the arms, the same obnoxiously bright colors. These are the only two versions with no buckles - meaning that Steve has to hold the shield in his hand the whole time he's fighting and I'm sure that's so practical.

It has the stupid wings too, if you look at the first photo in this post.

Here's an exchange between Steve and Phil Coulson, talking about this suit - "We've made some modifications to the uniform. I had a little design input."

"The uniform? Aren't the stars and stripes a little... old fashioned?"

"With everything that's happening, the things that are about to come to light, people might just need a little old fashioned."

It's not a uniform. It's not a superhero suit. It's costume. It's a joke. And SHIELD sending Steve out to fight in it, telling him it looks like this on purpose, they're telling him that they want him to be a soldier but they also want him to be a symbol.

Whatever that costume is connected to, whatever seventy years of comics and movies and propaganda made out of Captain America with no input from the man himself - that's who they want him to be.

And it's just another way the modern world is telling Steve that while they need Captain America, they could not care less about Steve Rogers.

Something Wrong Pt. 3

Voices in the Blight

Signs and Portents Masterpost Previous: Gathering Samples

They return with the samples.

Mysterious sounds: (Ominous chanting) [Fun fact: The files label this voice as Elgar’nan]

Evka: Antoine? Antoine!

Antoine distractedly replies, having a hard time pulling himself away from the sample.

Antoine: Yes? Ah. Yes. The blight samples. They're like nothing we've seen. Or anything in the Warden records.

Antoine: And Rook, I believed you, but to hear it… I almost hear voices in it. The gods calling the blight.

Antoine: And I can… I almost hear voices in it. The gods calling the blight. Rook: I can't hear anything. But if you believe me…

Evka: We knew things were bad. But if the blight's being called, the situation's more unpredictable than we thought. We need to—

The First Warden walks up.

First Warden: I give you two rein, and this is where it leads? Chasing Rook's lies?

Rook: First Warden, I—

Origin dependent dialogue:

Grey Warden Rook [1]

Non-Grey Warden Rook [2]

1 - Grey Warden Rook First Warden: You were told to stay away. Or does your allegiance to us no longer matter?

Dialogue options:

Affable: Of course it does! [3]

Sarcastic: There’s no winning here. [4] +Lucanis Approves +Neve Approves

Stoic: I have a higher allegiance. [5] +Lucanis Approves

Angry: What do you want from me? [6] +Neve Approves +Taash Approves

3 - Affable: Of course it does! Rook: Of course it does. Fighting the blight matters. That's why I'm here. First Warden: You're here for your ego, not for us. [12]

4 - Sarcastic: There’s no winning here. Rook: Is there any answer that would be good enough for you? Evka: Rook. Rook: Yeah. Didn't think so. [12]

5 - Stoic: I have a higher allegiance. Rook: My allegiance is to all of Thedas. If you won't listen— First Warden: Finish that thought, and I promise you'll pay the price for your insolence. [12]

6 - Angry: What do you want from me? Rook: What do you want me to do? Stick my head up my ass and pretend nothing's happening? Antoine: [They don't] mean that. [12]

2 - Non-Grey Warden Rook First Warden: Stay away from the blight and the Wardens. How many times must you be told?

Dialogue options:

Affable: We really found something. [7]

Sarcastic: How should I know? [8] +Neve Approves

Stoic: Until I get through to you. [9] +Lucanis Approves +Taash Approves

Shadow Dragon: You don’t scare me. [10] +Neve Approves +Lucanis Approves

Veil Jumper: Your rules won’t save you. [11]

7 - Affable: We really found something. Rook: Okay, but we've found evidence. Evka and Antoine— First Warden: Are too easily distracted. [12]

8 - Sarcastic: How should I know? Rook: I don't know. Try it again. First Warden: If you think posturing will gain you ground, you're mistaken. [12]

9 - Stoic: Until I get through to you. Rook: Until you listen, I'll be here. Evka: Not helping. [12]

10 - Shadow Dragon: You don’t scare me. Rook: Do you think titles and bluster scare me? First Warden: And your venom is better directed toward your magisters. [12]

11 - Veil Jumper: Your rules won’t save you. Rook: Do you know what happens when reality throws rules out the window? I do. You adapt your plans, or you die. First Warden: Save the speech for your friends in Arlathan. [12]

12 - Scene continues.

Evka: Rook knew something was wrong.

Antoine: I can hear it in the samples. The gods… [They’re] telling the truth. The blight has changed. And that changes everything.

First Warden: It changes nothing. Your sensitivity to blight is useful, Warden Antoine. But you've had more than one snake in your ear.

Dialogue options:

Affable: We can work together. [13] +Bellara Approves +Emmrich Approves

Sarcastic: You won’t listen, will you? [14]

Stoic: Back off. [15] +Davrin Approves +Harding Approves

Grey Warden: I’m on your side! [16] +Bellara Approves +Emmrich Approves

13 - Affable: We can work together. Rook: No one here wants blight to spread. We can work together. First Warden: You're in no place to make offers. [17]

14 - Sarcastic: You won’t listen, will you? Rook: Why listen to the experts? You've clearly got this handled. First Warden: That's enough from you. [17]

15 - Stoic: Back off. Rook: He's trying to help. First Warden: Enough. [17]

16 - Grey Warden: I’m on your side! Rook: I took the same vows as you. We're on the same side. First Warden: You're on thin ice. [17]

17 - Scene continues.

First Warden: You tampered with a ritual that unleashed blight. You did not know what you were doing then, and you don't now.

Evka: If gods control the blight, we need to change how we approach it—

First Warden: Archdemons control blight, and we'd sense if one had risen. We'd make the sacrifices needed to fight it.

Antoine: But we—

First Warden: The blight has increased. Now is not the time to lose focus. Wardens Evka and Antoine, are you sworn to combat the blight?

Evka: Yes, but—

First Warden: Then report back to Weisshaupt and do so.

He leaves.

Evka: That went poorly. Even for a talk with him.

Dialogue options:

Affable: I’m sorry you’re in trouble. [18]

Sarcastic: Do talks with him go well? [19]

Stoic: He’s an asshole. [20]

Grey Warden: He’s trying to push me out. [21]

18 - Affable: I’m sorry you’re in trouble. Rook: It's my fault you're in trouble. Antoine: Ah, he's never really liked us. Rook: So much for convincing the Wardens. Antoine: We can't give you the Order, but you have us. Evka: We'll keep tracking the darkspawn, and the blight. We'll do what we can. Antoine: And if we learn the gods' plans, you will, too. [22]

19 - Sarcastic: Do talks with him go well? Rook: Are talks with him ever pleasant? Antoine: We talked about the rain once. It was neutral. Rook: So much for convincing the Wardens. Antoine: We can't give you the Order, but you have us. Evka: We'll keep tracking the darkspawn, and the blight. We'll do what we can. Antoine: And if we learn the gods' plans, you will, too. [22]

20 - Stoic: He’s an asshole. Rook: What an asshole. A lot of people are going to die for his arrogance. Evka: Maybe. Rook: So much for convincing the Wardens. Antoine: We can't give you the Order, but you have us. Evka: We'll keep tracking the darkspawn, and the blight. We'll do what we can. Antoine: And if we learn the gods' plans, you will, too. [22]

21 - Grey Warden: He’s trying to push me out. Rook: I'm a Warden. I know what I'm doing. Why won't he listen? Evka: You're a good Warden. And don't catch yourself thinking otherwise. Rook: Maybe. But I need the Order's help. Evka: There's you, Davrin, me, and Antoine. We make it work with the four of us. You and Davrin work with your new friends. Antoine and I will track darkspawn, and the blight. Antoine: In so-called peace, vigilance. If we learn the gods' plans, you will, too. [22]

22 - Scene continues.

The scene fades, and one of Varric’s narratives cuts in.

Varric: The elven god of monsters had been hard at work. She'd taken the darkspawn and made them so much worse. Now, she and Elgar'nan had their glorious new army. The risen gods were ready. And they had just the target.

Frozen arctic station – load from file, take care

And it was several years in the past, I have this idea for this videogame. With a form of little picture. With white lines it is drawn a labyrinth. And you walk it as with the cells. And you have machinegun, automatic rifle in your hands. Or flamethrower. As in a movie – the thing.

And you are at the frozen arctic station.  Some monsters. As Resident Evil. You open the door, just the way it was with first Resident Evil. So open a door - it is whole standalone action. Fragment of game.

And some monsters, virus, aliens, mystics. Something is going on. Experiments in the ice. Scientists did not take into account something. And main feature – only two colors – blue and white. Blue – it is background. And white – it is with lines to draw everything. As with computers from 80s.

And now, I start development of this game. Well, of course, it has some difference from idea, that was in my head. This is now as a text quest. With spirit of previous title – near the shore. And it will have a test part. With digits. When you answer 1,2,3. And it will affect for next text screen.                

And most hard part – it is three dimensional, pseudo three dimensional labyrinth. With game scenes. Labyrinth will load from file. And file has a special structure. And now I load only cells by themselves, that they exists. I detect, I load cell. And I can show it as a main map view.

Also, it is drawn interface. Not full. And only example of how it will be. Now it is not complete with actions and objects.

So, there are here ammo. And schematical gun. And in the right corner – something like game score. It is like Zork. For going next. And for some actions you receive score.

So, because of , this is a game from the head. By the picture. By the idea. So it has lots of things to do. It is looks like a big scale project. And, by the way, it looks, like very retro. And nothing special. Some map. Some text. In the end, it is developers log.

If with first attempt – I pay more attention to the story. So I made in someway. So, now, it is second attempt. And I take more time for programming. And to solve lots of problems. What the way it will be loaded from file. Which format. I need to invent all the things. And only after this – to programming.  

Now, you can see your first labyrinth. And you will walk there. And do something. And text part of the game. And this way I plan it from the beginning, this visual form, you see now. And with this components it will be all the game.

I was in need to change screen mode. With 12. With 640 at 480. Well, with 320 at 200 it is not enough for show text. Well, I do my best, to write text with fragments not big size. But, anyway, that screen resolution was not enough. So now it will be window bigger size.

Cold of station awaits you! It will be a game explore! So it has happened something. Some monsters are there. And take care!

Basic Pascal version 1.18 "Duckling" – most newest version. In this version there are 4 new games! Puddles at Countryside, Duckling Pseudo 3D, Road to Countryside, Duckling Goes 2D. And even more retro games! It is a pack of retro games with modern versions of Basic and Pascal.

It is now in development new version Basic Pascal pack games. This game will be included in a new version.

Something Wrong Pt. 1

Foreboding

Signs and Portents Masterpost Previous: Roll Call

Rook meets with Evka and Antoine in the Hossberg Wetlands.

Evka: Rook. Welcome to the Hossberg Wetlands. I'd say make yourself comfortable…

Grey Warden Rook: Rook: I could sense blight before we were through the eluvian. What's happening? Antoine: That's the question, isn't it? Or one of them.

Non-Grey Warden Rook: Rook: This place is… Evka: Foreboding? Antoine: Yes. Well, foreboding is normal here. But it's worse than usual.

Evka: The blight's always a problem in the Anderfels. It's not strange to find a corrupted patch of forest or swamp.

Antoine: What is strange is the sudden surge of blight through the Hossberg Wetlands. Much like the village you found, the blight here struck too quickly. And in strange forms.

Evka: It's choked the whole area. And the local village—Lavendel—was caught in it. But there's survivors. We can be grateful for that.

Dialogue options:

Affable: It’s good you’re here. [1]

Stoic: This is only the beginning. [2]

Afraid: This is really bad. [3]

Angry: I knew this would happen. [4]

Grey Warden: It’s our duty to fix this. [5]

1 - Affable: It’s good you’re here. Rook: If there was a place that needed Wardens… Evka: Then here we are. [6]

2 - Stoic: This is only the beginning. Rook: It only gets worse from here. Evka: We've got the same feeling. [6]

3 - Afraid: This is really bad. Rook: If the blight keeps spreading… we could lose everything. Antoine: You said what came next would be bad. That's why we're here. To help. [6]

4 - Angry: I knew this would happen. Rook: Damn it. I said things were different. Antoine: We know. Evka: We're trying to prove the same thing. [6]

5 - Grey Warden: It’s our duty to fix this. Rook: How many people are here? We need to help them. Antoine: Of course. Evka and I are doing what we can. Evka: So you keep your eye on the big picture for now. [6]

6 - Scene continues.

Antoine: As far as we can tell, the gods you're chasing weren't here directly.

Evka: If the blight's really changed, then the changes are widespread. As for how much…

Antoine: I… I can almost sense something in there. Another sound under the blight's usual song.

Grey Warden Rook: Rook: Sensing the blight is one thing. What you're saying is… concerning.

Non-Grey Warden Rook: Rook: Stories say Wardens sense blight. I never thought it was literal. Antoine: It happens when you join the Order. But that's more than I should say.

Evka: When we met, you tried to block the sound out. Now you hear too much.

Antoine: If it helps… that's what we're here for.

Dialogue options:

Affable: I’m a little worried now. [7]

Sarcastic: I’m used to bad situations. [8]

Stoic: We need a plan. [9]

Antivan Crow: Warden initiation sounds bad. [10]

Mourn Watcher: Warden initiation sounds bad. [11]

Lord of Fortune: Warden initiation sounds bad. [12]

7 - Affable: I’m a little worried now. Rook: Should I be worried? Antoine: About me? Non. About the blight? Yes. But you already are. [13]

8 - Sarcastic: I’m used to bad situations. Rook: Okay. This all sounds awful. And we're standing in the middle of it. Which is normal for me.

Grey Warden Rook: Evka: (Chuckles) We know.

Non-Grey Warden Rook: Antoine: (Laughs) For us too.

Rook: So what's the plan? [13]

9 - Stoic: We need a plan. Rook: All right. Tell me there's a plan. [13]

10 - Antivan Crow: Warden initiation sounds bad. Rook: Become a Warden. Hear the blight. And people assume Crow initiations are intense. Antoine: I assumed they were murderous. Rook: I walked into that. So what's the plan? [13]

11 - Mourn Watcher: Warden initiation sounds bad. Rook: Become a Warden. Hear the blight. And people think Watcher initiations are scary. Antoine: Do you work with spirits? That's not so bad. Demons, though… I don't like demons. Rook: Things can get… restless in the Necropolis. Anyway, what's the plan? [13]

12 - Lord of Fortune: Warden initiation sounds bad. Rook: Become a Warden. Hear the blight. Kind of a bad trade. The Lords just throw a party. Antoine: The Wardens throw parties. Sometimes. Sometimes they're even fun. Rook: (Laughs) I'd like to see that. So what's the plan? [13]

13 - Scene continues.

Evka: We heard rumors of the surge here and volunteered to investigate. The First Warden expects a report. Soon.

Antoine: If we want proof the blight's changed, then this place is where to find it.

Evka: But the way the blight left the village—we've had our hands full just keeping it back and helping the sick.

Rook: You need more to study.

Antoine: Yes! The odd growths the blight has formed—like boils. They surround Lavendel. I need more samples.

14 - Dialogue options:

Investigate: You two research the blight? [15]

Affable: Glad we can work together. [16]

Sarcastic: Samples. That will be gross. [17]

Stoic: I’m on it. [18]

15 - Investigate: You two research the blight?

Grey Warden Rook: Rook: So you two are studying the blight? Antoine: We already had a reputation for following the weird stuff. Evka: And it's only gotten weirder. Antoine: To help, we need to know what we're dealing with. [Back to 14]

Non-Grey Warden Rook: Rook: So you two study the blight? Antoine: Formally? No. Well, maybe. It depends on your definition. Evka: We travel a lot. And tend to get sidetracked by weird problems. Antoine: Who knew I'd roam so far from Orlais? If we want to help, we need to learn what we're dealing with. [Back to 14]

16 - Affable: Glad we can work together.

Grey Warden Rook: Rook: It's a good thing another Warden showed up. Evka: Even if it's you. Rook: You collapse a building to seal off darkspawn one time… Evka: And get us all in trouble. Antoine: (Laughs) Worth it. You know we like you. So be careful out there. Rook: I will. I'll be back as soon as I can. Scene ends.

Non-Grey Warden Rook: Rook: I'll see what I can do. This place is lucky to have you. Evka: Trying to make us like you? Rook: Is it working? Antoine: (Laughs) I'm not complaining. I'll give you something to contain the blight. Oh! And watch for darkspawn. Evka: Can't sing our praises if you're dead. Rook: Good point. See you soon. Scene ends.

17 - Sarcastic: Samples. That will be gross. Rook: Samples. That's going to be… gross. That's probably the best word for it.

Grey Warden Rook: Evka: Probably. Just be careful. Rook: You know me. Evka: Last time we met, you dropped a building on a pack of darkspawn. Rook: You might know me too well. Antoine: Get back when you can. Scene ends.

Non-Grey Warden Rook: Antoine: I'll give you something to contain the blight. And watch for darkspawn out there. Rook: Right. Darkspawn. Can't forget them. Evka: Good luck. Scene ends.

18 - Stoic: I’m on it. Rook: Leave it to me.

Grey Warden Rook: Antoine: Ah, merci! I knew we could count on you. Evka: Just be careful out there. Even for a Warden, it's not pretty. Rook: Things looked bad before we saved that village up north. Evka: You saved that village by collapsing a building. The First Warden was furious at us. Antoine: But we did the right thing. It might go better this time. Rook: I'll get back as soon as I can. Scene ends.

Non-Grey Warden Rook: Antoine: You can't just handle blight. I'll give you something to contain it. And watch for darkspawn. Rook: I'll try not to die. Antoine: We'd prefer you didn't! Evka: So be careful. Scene ends.
