Re: Western Cartoons/Comics

On the flip side I'm pretty sure that if H.G. Wells were alive today, he would consider Mr. Hyde's rape and murder of The Invisible Man to be very respectful.

Re: General Game Gabbin'

Capcom just can't get enough of shafting their fans. Also in other news I like this one guy called Matthewmatosis. He makes reviews for games that are great in their own right. He actually made video reviews for all 5 3D Legend of Zeldas, and is currently working on reviews for the 4 mainline MGS ga...

Re: Western Cartoons/Comics

It actually does apply. The entire idea is that he's taken existing characters from fiction, and written new stories with them. The same way that DC is taking the existing characters from Watchmen and writing new stories about those characters. Sure, they're prequel stories, but they're still newly ...

Re: The Halo Section

Have you gotten a Ballssassination yet? You essentially uppercut the enemy with the Oddball and they disintegrate like they were hit by a Promethean weapon.

Re: Western Cartoons/Comics

They told him they'd have it done by the very talented writers of this time. He asked them why, if they had such talented writers, didn't they have them write entirely new good comics and characters, instead of relying on his. I find it hilarious that the guy who told them to write entirely new cha...

Re: Western Cartoons/Comics

The death of Pete in ASM didn't feel like a cheap plot device. Sure, it was a publicity stunt, but his death wasn't cheap. It was just a different way to die than going out fighting and punching in a super-heroic way. It's only after this latest issue that I see it for a cheap plot device. They alre...

Re: General Game Gabbin'

So many games coming out this February. I don't know what games I should by first and what games I should buy later when they're used copies.

Re: Western Cartoons/Comics

So he took neckbeard rage into account when writing all this out. That sounds highly appropriate for the comic book industry. I wonder if they have some kind of flowchart regarding angry fans? What I don't get is why people are so angry at this when it's a superhero comic book, a genre widely known ...

Re: Western Cartoons/Comics

I just finished Superior Spider-Man 1. Was some pretty good reading. He's got some serious prep-time now. What pisses me off is that they set something up that completely goes against what happened in ASM #700. What happened is that Parker is now some kind of blue Jedi ghost/subconscious thing, and ...

Re: Western Cartoons/Comics

Well there's also e-mail. And giving fans a place where they can see "Oh, they got my mail, that's cool!" Is simple and fast positive PR. Many print magazines today still have a section for reader feedback, so why not continue the tradition of letters to the editor for comic books? Even Hellboy has ...

Re: The Halo Section

I've recently figured out how to earn mountains of XP:
-Use those double XP tokens from the Mountain Dew and Doritos promotion
-Go into Spartan Ops matchmaking on Legendary
-Play the Chapter through to the end
-Receive about 15,000 XP per match

On a second look, Chespin's design is actually pretty solid. May choose him over Fennekin.

Re: The Cockfighting Society thread

My first run-through in any pokemon game. Well once I have more than 6 I try getting proper typings. And in later runthroughs I use pokemon I wouldn't normally use. EXCEPT THE SUPER UGLY ONES. And it just gets more and more difficult each gen. Thank sweet Jesus Black and White 2 came around and let...

Re: The Cockfighting Society thread

That deer legendary looks utterly ridiculous. In fact both of the legendaries look ridiculous. The dragon where it's tail is a wing complete with claws and what look like veins, and that deer with like 4 million antlers and blades for legs. Also there are probably 9 million fan-artists at work on or...
