My sister started crying about the fight 2 days ago. And I was extremely unsure of what to say. But it payed off when I bought her orange juice and then talked about not worrying of other things and focus on herself. A few hours later, I went off to find jobs in a group. They were smoking and I was drinking some lemonade iced tea.

"What the **** are you drinking, man?".

I was going to apply for toys r' us until I got lost. I went back to school. It took me 11 miles to get back.
I got there just in time though. But the rest? I don't even know if they're still enjoying their delishus lunch while I walked with such hunger. I had no breakfast.

That's really unfortunate Tokyo, best of luck in your job search. I'll be working at this tool and fasteners warehouse doing all kinds of cool stuff in a few weeks. And by cool I mean tedious.

Funny you should say that, I haven't had a traditional breakfast during a weekday in years. There's just not enough time in the mornings.

That's true. All I ever took from the kitchen was a piece of bread w/ mayo and cheese most of the time...
I only didn't get breakfast because I had to run to the public bus so I wouldn't have to wait for 2 hours just to get on the next one.

Gaaaaaaates.

I would've talked for hours about all of the comics I've read. If you would like me to expound on what it is I have read/not read, I'll gladly tell you sometime. That was only a teensy tiny bit of stuff and we were kinda pressed for time.
Is the interview even up yet?

Lol, Vaporeon.
What were they thinking?
Yeah, that's a really weird choice.

So far:

Bioshock: Bought
Fallout 3: Bought
Demon Souls: Haven't bought yet
DC Universe Online: Switching for shoes

Yeah, but from what I understand it takes a while to pick up and the gameplay is just abysmal. The combat isn't stellar, the camera system is bad, and there are mandatory platforming segments despite the jumping controls being awful (which is one of my biggest complaints about modern action games).

It seems to have a niche following though. I'd say rent it if you can.

Must be nice. When three Blockbusters all set up in my hometown within 10 miles of eachother, my local video rental store went out of business. And now Blockbuster is out of business so I can't rent ****.

Feels bad man.
I don't mind if the story takes awhile to pick up.

It's OK though we actually had 2 video stores. My favorte one (and my former workplace) closed down this June and that was a real shame. I had an awesome time and memories in that store...Damn you Redbox. :glare:

You sound like a dork.

I've heard great things about Infinity Gauntlet, but I haven't heard anything about the other two. I've heard mixed things about Identity Crisis and I wasn't aware that it was the book where they killed Sue Dibney.

F8AL, are you a native English speaker?

First off: **** you. I'm not that bad. Lol.

Secondly: Infinity Gauntlet is better than Crusade and War 'cause Thanos is cooler than the Magus, though not by much.

Thirdly: They didn't kill Dibney. She was
committed.

I'll look into it.

Oh, so they didn't kill her until later.

And you don't need to put it in spoilers. Flashpoint has changed the history of the DCU so you don't need to put things in spoilers since a lot of it got retconned out anyway, like Barbara Gordon's paralysis, or Superman's not knowing that underwear goes inside the pants, or Deathstroke's entire character, or Harley Quinn looking like an interesting and unique character who based her costume off The Joker instead of some generic looking ****, or Dan DiDio's credibility.



EDIT: I JUST LISTENED TO THE REST OF THE PODCAST. VOTE ME OFF THE ISLAND WILL YOU MOTHER****ER!?

If you vote me off the island, I'll make a toxic substance out of salt water, bamboo, and my own *** hairs, bury it deep underground the island, and let it slowly seep out to poison your water supply.

EDIT2: Amuse you as I die? I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to ****in' amuse you? What do you mean funny? Funny how? How am I funny?

**** you. Again. Lol.

Well, fair enough. I am a dweeb. I don't give a **** tho'.

I'll look into it.
If nothing else, just read Infinity Gauntlet. Crusade and War were kinda meh anyway. Whatever you do, for the love of God, DO NOT read the psuedo-sequel to the Infinity series that came out in early 2000. It was godawful.

It's a force of habit. I mean, yeah, they retconned all that **** but what's to say people won't go back and read it anyway? I still treat comics, in spite of their dependence on continuity, with the same care I treat books: I don't wanna give away any of the plot details and stuff like that 'cause it can still ruin the damn story. Hell, I didn't even know diddily **** about any of the goings-on for the DC Universe at the time I picked it up. I found out as I read it, however, that I really didn't need to know too much.

On a slightly unrelated note, I am pretty hyped about DC's reboot. They've had a lot of the industry's talent for the past decade or so and it's good to finally see that they can shake off the crap that's plagued DC for years and start anew. I might actually start buying/subscribing to comic books again because of it.

So you seem to be a fan of Cosmic Marvel. How did you like Annihilation? A friend of mine read it and said it was really good.

You're the only one. Trust me.

Let me give you the lowdown on what's happening in "The New 52".
[collapse="Potential Spoilers"]
  • Superman is a **** because Grant Morrison forgot he wasn't writing Batman anymore in Action Comics and he just generally acts like an ******* to everyone around him in the other books he's in. Oh, and they also nixed his marriage, which I think was pointless. As much as I hate One More Day, I have to admit that I can partly understand the logic behind getting rid of Spiderman's marriage, with the bulk of it coming from the love triangles he's had in the past with Black Cat. But Superman doesn't have any outside love interests (other than Elseworld stories where he hooks up with Wonder Woman, but each time there was usually a good reason for that), he's pretty much always been in a monogamous relationship with Lois Lane so the two of them getting married was just a logical next step. At least he knows where to put his underwear now.
  • There are 4 books that are about Batman himself, 6 more specifically about the Batman family, and 4 other books where characters originating in Batman are featured prominently (as main members of a team and such). That means over 25% of DC's titles are Batman-related. If you thought Marvel liked to ***** out Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Deadpool...
  • Barbara Gordon can use her legs again, which I personally don't agree with. She was limited by her handicap sure but she was also a good representative of how much of a force for good a disabled person can be and she was basically the chief organizer and technical supporter of the DC superhero community. They do mention The Killing Joke and confirm that it did happen, but kind of write it off also by saying that her paralysis only lasted for 3 years. She's also just a weaker character overall, having to basically do all her work by wiretapping her dad's police radio. The book is being written by Gail Simone, who is a very good writer who is very familiar with Barbara's character, so hopefully it'll get better.
  • Birds of Prey is back but Black Canary is the only one on the team who was an original Bird of Prey and it's not being written by Gail Simone or Chuck Dixon, so I don't have high hopes for it.
  • Blue Beetle completely changes the relationship between Jaime Reyes and his family, which is a major part of his character and story. Originally when Jaime became the 3rd Blue Beetle, he revealed his identity to his family and close friends, showing them the scarab and the armor and being open with them about what it was. But here there's none of that and the book feels poorer for it.
  • Animal Man is pretty good from what I hear, so that's one thing.
  • Deathstroke went from being an honorable mercenary who was honorable and strong but also vulnerable and human to a generic incredibly powerful mercenary...basically a generic early-90s Image Comics character. He's like if Deadpool was written totally straight without any of the humor or craziness that makes him likable or badass.
  • From what I've heard, Demon Knights is a really good book. If you like sword and sorcery books then you should probably pick it up, as it's one of the few shining gems in the sea of **** that seems to be coming out of DC at the moment.
  • Justice League #1 only has 3 of the 7 characters in it for the majority of the book, with Superman showing up on the very last page. Most of the book is just Hal Jordan and Batman being ****s to eachother and Victor Stone being a high school football player before he gets turned into Cyborg (and no, that doesn't happen yet). But hey, this seven-year-old girl liked it so maybe you might too since you're probably on the same reading level. :troll: But seriously, I've heard that Justice League International is better, so read that instead.
  • Hawk and Dove is drawn by Rob Liefeld. 'Nuff said.
  • Sinestro takes Hal Jordan's ring and holds it beyond his reach while Hal whines and cries about it like both of them are little kids. Also, the Green Lantern books carry on from the previously established Green Lantern titles in recent years, so if you want to get into them I hope you like Geoff Johns.
  • I've heard that Mr. Terrific is actually really good, so it might be worth looking into.
  • The Red Lanterns have their own ongoing series which I think is totally pointless. The Red Lanterns are one-dimensional characters and the book seems to be trying to turn them into anti-heroes, which I think is just kind of dumb. It's also going a bit into Atrocitus' backstory, but since his target of vengeance is already dead there's not much point. The most interesting character in the book is Dex-Starr because he's an adorable kitty cat. And from the preview pages I've seen, the coloring is also really bad and looks like someone spilled cherry Kool-Aid on all the pages.
  • Stormwatch is good, but it continues off of not only DC characters but Wildstorm characters, so if you want something simple then you may want to skip it.
  • Suicide Squad is just not that good of a book. It's not particularly terrible but it's not very good either. The character redesigns are what makes it really bad for me. King Shark looks like a cross between two breeds of shark for no good reason other than that the artist thought it would be cooler for him to be a hammerhead. Amanda Waller is also skinny now, which means that the universe is going to implode. Amanda Waller is supposed to be like what Queen Latifah would look like if she ate the entire cast of Precious. And I shouldn't even have to talk about what they did to Harley Quinn.
  • The first Catwoman issue was filled with fanservice shots and ends with her having sex with Batman on a roof after he only partly consented. CAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S NOT LIKE SHE WAS A DEEP CHARACTER OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN A PIECE OF MEAT.*
  • Red Hood and the Outlaws is about Jason Todd, Red Arrow, and Starfire being reckless anti-hero *******es and sleeping with eachother. No, seriously. Jason Todd is a prick and his actions in the issue remind everyone why he was voted to be killed. Red Arrow has his arm back but doesn't have any of the things that made Roy Harper a unique character, like, oh I don't know, A DAUGHTER. And Starfire spends the whole issue wearing almost nothing and posing suggestively. She also has an uncharacteristically casual approach to sex, to the point that she cheats on Jason Todd (or Richard Grayson or whoever she's supposed to be involved with, she's probably slept with both anyway) with Red Arrow in the same issue. And then Roy and Jason high five about it! It's like they made a superhero team out of Jersey Shore! The art is also pretty bad overall. In the end, I'd much rather read a book about 2Pac & The Outlawz. Grab ya glocks when you see 2Pac...
  • Oh, and since Richard Grayson ("D*ck" is censored even if it's someone's name) is Nightwing working on his own, Jason Todd is Red Hood sleeping working with his own team, and Tim Drake is Red Robin working with the Teen Titans, that means that DAMIAN WAYNE is the current Robin. This is why Superman works alone.
  • Oh, and don't forget about the strange cloaked woman who appears briefly in the background of all the books in this lineup. I'm guessing she's basically the DC version of Uatu and that she'll be the one to start a new Crisis (and if she does I really hope it's called Continuity Crisis) if the DCnU doesn't perform as well as expected or fade into the background as a red herring if it becomes well-received.

*She was.[/collapse]My basic problem with the re-boot/re-launch/re-tcon is that they tried to fix things that weren't broken. There's no reason why Barbara Gordon should be able to walk or why Deathstroke needs a different personality or why the Justice League should be ****s to eachother or why Harley Quinn looks like BloodRayne or why Starfire is a ****. I've heard that there are good books coming out of this, like the aforementioned Demon Knights and Mr. Terrific, but it just seems like the bad outweighs the good.

And where is the Captain Marvel family in all this?

I also don't really know what you mean by saying that DC sucked for the past decade. I've really never thought they were that bad. Sure, their crossovers sucked (Blackest Night was the only good one in recent memory imo), but for the most part I thought the stories were pretty solid. I think your biggest problems with DC are the crossovers (and I agree, a lot of them are terrible and stupid), and complex backstories, which are a general bad aspect of comic books. Am I in the ballpark or is there more to it than that?

****ing buzzkill. Seriously. There's nothing I can really address here but my burgeoning disappointment...

...but I feel I should clarify here. I didn't mean to make it sound like DC sucked or anything for the past ten years. They surely didn't. I said that they had all of the talent in the industry right now. I was talking about the massive precedent (re: all of the garbage) that the talent had to work with. DC was a mess, bro. It was even worse than Marvel's Golden Age. Not all of it was terrible, tho'. They managed to revamp/reinvent a lot of characters for the better.

I'd get in to specifics, but I'm a little busy.

Hey, like I said, it's not ALL bad. After hearing multiple praises of them, I may seriously consider picking up Demon Knights, Mister Terrific, and Justice League International (of course there's a lot of other books I want to pick up before that but still). They've also done a good job pairing characters with people who are good at writing them - Superman should be written by Grant Morrison, Batgirl should be written by Gail Simone, and Green Lantern should be written by Geoff Johns - and even though those books are off to a rocky start, I'm inclined to give them a shot based on the stuff I've read from those authors before. There are good books in the DCU relaunch, but for every good book there are 5 or 6 bad ones. That's all I'm trying to say.

So basically you're saying that DC in the modern era has had all the talented writers?

u jelly bro? :troll: :salt:

But aside from that you go on to say that there was tons of backstory that those writers had to sift through but:
A.) That's characteristic of comic books. Remember when Wolverine was the devil? Remember when Professor Xavier could walk? Remember when Spider-Man thought he was a clone? And was married?
B.) Continuity is easier to check on than ever now thanks to an invention called the webbernets which can be accessed through a computatrangle.
C.) They really didn't imo. Crisis on Infinite Earths helped out a lot to retcon and consolidate a lot of the plot holes and continuity errors in the DCU up to the point where it was made (1984) and since then there has been Infinite Crisis and Final Crisis to continue streamlining the timeline. DC is pretty good about covering up plot holes in their comics and they often make supplemental stories (read: tie-in comics) to cover up their plot holes, even if it's something as lame as Superboy Prime punching the Source Wall.

MovieBob is a fat obnoxious Nintendo fanboy who once made an episode defending One More Day, but in this episode he starts by making a good point that the DCnU isn't throwing out the old convoluted continuity but instead just adding some new convoluted continuity. Then he goes on a tangent about Mario or something, idk I stopped paying attention and watched Zero Punctuation instead, but the points he makes at the beginning of the video are very true.

From what I understand, the big purpose of the DCU retcon was to integrate the Vertigo and Wildstorm universes into the mainstream DC Universe. And admittedly, I'd say that's not a bad idea. However, it's doing a lot more than that, which really bothers me.

gates knows a lot of things about stuff
You have a way with words, my friend.

Oh, another new comic series I forgot to mention that I'm not entirely sure about is the reboot of Superboy. The origin story of the modern Superboy, Conner Kent/Kon-El, is heavily tied in with the Death of Superman, Reign of the Supermen, and Return of Superman stories, which I'm not sure are canon anymore. I feel like this may take away from his character a bit and by extension take away from the Superman family of books as a whole.
