Someone guess Arri's Dead Guy already!

Yeah! What she said!

(Does a necro post on a thread about dead guys make this a zombie thread? An undead thread?)

Osama Bin Laden's mother.

Moving the dead people winner over to europe for a change might make europeans want to play with. No1 here ever heard of some random american war hero of the 1800's.

On topic: Dana Reeve

But that's just hella-opinionated me.

I think you've described hecknoobs & powerleveling.
