Since when is my apathy new found?
I thought I've always been a rather apathetic smasher with occasional outbursts when bored?

I like that my opinion means so much to you, thumbs. lol
You def need to read Watchmen before the movie comes out.
Weird aside: Darren Aronofsky was attached to a Lone Wolf movie a while ago.... never happened...

I was just responding to your "get apathetic" statement to yourself as an indication that you weren't previously apathetic.
Ahh, quit metagaming me.

As a general rule of thumb, you DO have decent taste in literature. Same with Jam and Aesir. Thumbs is my "go to" man when it comes to anime, though (except for the Darker Than Black recommendation; that goes to Aesir <3).
Yes, I've been stalking this thread for THAT long. lol
In any case Watchmen is an amazing book. I don't just use "graphic novel" or "comic book" to describe it...I literally mean "book" book. It is very engrossing.

Of course Cog, you're an aspiring filmmaker such as myself and we have similar opinions <3
And you just reminded me I still haven't seen Requiem for a Dream >_>

Smooth, it's a comic book, regardless of how good it is.
By calling it a "book" as opposed to a comic book, you're insinuating that comic books and graphic novels are lesser forms of literature, which is absolutely untrue.
It's a **** good comic book. eat that, ****.

If I ever hosted a tournament it would be called "The Rule of Thumbs".
You're the man Smooth, glad to know someone takes my anime recommendations to heart despite me having seen so few <3
edit- I never got around to it Cog lol too many classics and great films to see. No one says, "Man you've seen so many awesome films!", they always get you with ONE film from like a list of a thousand with, "WHAT!??!?! You haven't seen_____!???! KILL YOURSELF"
I can't say enough good things about Watchmen. It completely blew my mind. The movie has too much to live up to, but i'm hopeful that it will at least do the graphic novel some form of justice.
I'd say there's a fair distinction between comic books and graphic novels.
wtf CT thread, those posts had more than 1 mintue between them, how is it a double post?

LOL I know what you mean. *hasn't seen The Godfather Part II*
The line between comics and GN's has blurred so much these days with any 6 issue trade calling themselves a GN that the labels are kind of meaningless.
a blurred line doesn't mean that there aren't clear cases, just that there are gray ones -_-.
that being said, after a short look on wikipedia, it's fair to say that Watchmen is probably either in that gray or a comic book.

lmao neither have I

k then it's all gray; it's an argument about semantics, really, and Watchmen is considered "one of the greatest graphic novels of all time" (and a GN gold standard) when in fact it's a trade paperback collection of 12 issues. Oh well
how so? there have been graphic novels that were never published in issues as comic books, I fail to see how they would be in the gray area. same with comics that don't have an overarching storyline. I mean, I'm not well versed on the genres or this debate, so I'm legitimately interested in why you think it's a completely pointless distinction.

When Will Eisner kind of invented the graphic novel as we know it today, it was a term that simply meant a one-off comic story told in long-form, bound like a book. Since self-contained long form stories didn't exist in monthly comics back then, "graphic novel" was coined. But with books like Watchmen or The Dark Knight Returns in the 80s, you had long-form, self contained stories that work perfectly bound and sold together, yet were published monthly. The fact that these 2 stories sold oodles of their collected editions helped people to connect watchmen + graphic novel and sometimes even forget that there were individual issues, rather than just "chapters" in the whole book.
These days you have indie books published solely in graphic novel form and trade collections of monthly books that work best as long-form stories. So I think the distinction should be about content rather than form. IE - I don't care if it was originally a 12 issue mini series, as long as it's sold and read and works best collected, then it can be called a GN.
*shrug*
I'd stand on this distinction.
I suppose my previous statement was very hung up on form defining the genre. Which as I think about it, is a pretty silly way of differentiating things.

How many canadian players went?? I thought just one. As I was leaving like around 6-7 on day 1, I was saying bye to kids and I said bye to some Canadian and was like, bye even though I don't know you. And someone was like, that's because he's canadian. It was spawn or aesir or maybe even the kid himself said it. >_>

Proving the point that I just use swordsman in Smash. I dropped Falco....picked up Sheik for like a day and then realized that none of the following characters....WTF PoF why do you have Brawl mains back in your location?
wait
I should know better
Falcon
Falco
Fox
Sheik
Ice Climbers
Peach
Really suit my style or are anyone I want to use.
Lately, I've been under the impression that people are really curious as to why I've decided to pick up Roy and why I'm so interested in learning him.
First off, I find Roy to be EXTREMELY underrated in Melee.
Is he a good character? Not really. But He DOES have a lot of really good tricks to use against the likes of Fox, Falco, Pikachu, Pichu, Jiggs, Bowser, and Falcon. Roy is different from most characters in Melee because his combo ability is really weak and his offensive options are really bad as well ranging from about 1-3. I like Roy because I find his edge game to be still really good even though not as strong as Marths. L canceling is also much easier with him and leaves more room for error. At low %'s he can do a lot of things to spacies, and Roy teaches you to NOT MAKE MISTAKES and quickly, might I add. Anytime you **** up as Roy, you basically die. He also has a fair tech chase game and his grab is pretty good. I'm sick of always seeing the same six characters in this game (Sheik, Fox, Falco, Marth, Falcon, Jigs) with the occasional Peach, Luigi, and Doc. I also find that it is much more admirable to perform well with a low tier character as opposed to the usual six. Gimpyfish, DJ Nintendo, Neo, Ninjalink, Boss spring to mind. I think that picking up Roy will help to polish my game quicker and teach me what I am doing wrong faster because it will be easy to punish my mistakes and it will force me to learn. I also LOVE Roys falling speed, it makes up for his run speed. He also punishes spot dodges really well too.
Oh yeah, and not too many people main both Marth and Roy and go back and forth between them and perform well. I have learned to do so. Is my Roy good enough to bring to tournament? No. I'm working on it though.
In Brawl I find characters such as
Rob
Toon Link
GAW
Snake
Falco
To not suit my style either
in 64
I dont like being gay with
Pikachu or Kirby
so I use Link.
Bottom Line: I don't want to be around smelly people for a week. I'd rather fly there with some people that I enjoy hangin out with (who I know dont smell and annoy me) and split costs for a hotel between a good 7-10 people. I already have a good idea of who those people would be too. Getting involved with a bus of a good 40+ people is like going to the mall with 8 people. You all will want to do different things at different places, eat at different times, etc. Its much easier to travel with a smaller posse. Will it cost more? Yeah. Plan ahead. We all have plenty of time to do so.
I <3 you. Sick update! I LOLed really hard at everything.
