That's true. All I ever took from the kitchen was a piece of bread w/ mayo and cheese most of the time...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.
Is the interview even up yet?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.
Yeah, that's a really weird choice.What were they thinking?Lol, Vaporeon.
"Still"?What's obnoxious is some of the people still thinking you're a girl.
I don't mind if the story takes awhile to pick up.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.
You sound like a dork.@ Gates:
Nope. The interview ain't up yet.
JUST SAYIN' BRO

Regardless of how much I like your moustache, Fallout 3 was too open-ended.Sorry, but that is really dumb.
First off: **** you. I'm not that bad. Lol.You sound like a dork.
I've heard great things about Infinity Gauntlet, but I haven't heard anything about the other two.
Yes you are.First off: **** you. I'm not that bad. Lol.
I'll look into it.Secondly: Infinity Gauntlet is better than Crusade and War 'cause Thanos is cooler than the Magus, though not by much.
Oh, so they didn't kill her until later.Thirdly: They didn't kill Dibney. She wascommitted.
**** you. Again. Lol.Yes you are.
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.I'll look into it.
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.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.
*removed pic*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?
Like I said, 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.
You're the only one. Trust me.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.
That's one of the ones I haven't got around to reading yet. Dammit all.Like I said, I'll look into 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.
Cosmic Marvel is pretty cool, tho'.
****ing buzzkill. Seriously. There's nothing I can really address here but my burgeoning disappointment...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. At least he knows where to put his underwear now. Oh, and they also nixed his marriage, which I think was pointless. As much as I hate One More Day,
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 **** 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 **** Grayson is Nightwing working on his own, Jason Todd is Red Hood
sleepingworking 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.
*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.
...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 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?
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.****ing buzzkill. Seriously. There's nothing I can really address here but my burgeoning disappointment...
So basically you're saying that DC in the modern era has had all the talented writers?...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'.

Not me, was in a quiet room. I heard some sound from you tho.Either Smooth or F8AL had some obnoxious background noise that I can't filter out, so I guess it'll be a slight pain.
Yes.F8AL, are you a native English speaker?
Lol no. My mic was muted, buddy.Not me, was in a quiet room. I heard some sound from you tho.
