    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#34)---12/03/07-'POWERLESS' Mid-Season Finale (or the End)

    The thing is, there's really no discussion. If folks like the stuff, then it's easily explained away with; 1) You're using knowledge they don't have. (Sure, most of the powers are used via instinct, and they've had a year to work with them, but it's perfectly understandable that Peter would read...

    Xbox Originals...Worthwhile?

    I had it, it was okay. Oddball plot, gameplay was okay. Conversation system was good, but the cutscene's had a "push the joysticks/ push the buttons" type of deal sort of like Dragons Lair, but not as good as Resident Evil 4. At lots of times it served to drag you out of the narrative, paying...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    If that's why you bought one (BR) you were I'd say in the minority. By that indication, why did anyone buy the 360? The games for the 360 weren't exactly astounding at launch. I think most folks bought the PS3 because it was Sony and they were confident of it's performance based on past...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    Well, the 360's BC seems fine to me, but I haven't tried KotOR2 in it, given the shoddy treatment the game had even on the original Xbox. It hits most of the major titles well, and a good selection of the "other" titles. If we peg the 360 BC as 85%, then the original PS3 20/60 would be 95%...

    Life (the TV show)

    Well crap, didn't notice the time and now it's half over. Guess I'll watch it online tommorow. Overall I've been enjoying the show, it's fun and does a good job of mixing Crime Of The Night with Metaplot.

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    Well, what's lackluster about the 360's BC? The list I saw for the 80gig, seemed many games had increased flaws, but it may only be in comparison to the 20/60 gig's slightly flawed BC. The main thing is, the Xbox games stopped as soon as the 360 came out, so not a big deal, whereas they're...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#34)---12/03/07-'POWERLESS' Mid-Season Finale (or the End)

    By my own admission? I'm not sure how else to put it, so let me try once more. Comics are fine. Crappy Comics are crappy. Heroes is emulating Crappy Comics. Heroes is Crappy. There, simple enough? I like movies based on comics, but I should expect less from TV shows based on comics? Because...

    Heroes Death Pool: Writers Strike FINAL ROUND!

    Just wait, they'll bring Isaac back too!

    Will you laugh or cry at the gnomes' good-bye party?

    My expectation is that they'll be in the MM, and if not statted out fully, they will probably be the example on how to stat out fully. They might be online soon after, and at the least will be in Eberron, whenever that comes out. Whether you'll like the way they do it, hard to say, since the...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    What's crummy about 360 BC? I mean, I don't have every game by a long shot, but the titles I still play have all worked great. Anyway, the Xbox couldn't be built profitably, so it makes sense to kill it and force a jump to the new system. The 360 will continue to drop in price and the...

    Will you laugh or cry at the gnomes' good-bye party?

    The comment was about gnomes, in that I think the loss of gnomes (besides simply losing a favorite race) can also be disliked because it shows the design philosophy behind 4e.

    Will you laugh or cry at the gnomes' good-bye party?

    The assumption was that gnomes would be online, that was all. I'm not assuming the attitude, but I won't be surprised if it's there. We'll see, but it's one of those things, if Dragonborn and Teiflings are in demand as core, then I think the game has departed from me. Heck, everyone accuses...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    I think that was true of the Xbox for reasons beyond just MS policy, so I don't think it applies as much to the 360. As the 360 keeps lowering in price, it's possible they may keep it around this time. (Not saying they will, but I do think it'll overlap more this time than the Xbox/Xbox 360...

    Will you laugh or cry at the gnomes' good-bye party?

    Will they be statted as player races, given the expanded role races play in 4e? 1) in 3.5, do you consider the races of the MM to be core player races? Available without having to question the DM? 2) It's a design philosophy that is representative of the way 4e is being built. It may not...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    I had a Cube, some fun games on it, but I'm no Mario Fanboi, so it was a temporary purchase. I wanted a Wii, until I saw the party games that dominate it. I may not be the target audience, but I think the folks that buy for the party game are not long term folks. Soon all these homes will have...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    For the 10 year cycle, I think the problem is this; 1) The BluRay of today will probably not be the BluRay of 5 years from now. With a change in lasers (differing depths), it will muddy the waters of the PS3's "blu ray advantage". 2a) The 360 model changes are mostly consistent within the SKU's...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    It's funny really, but whenever a Sony rep trots out the "ten year plan", it's used to explain why their system is not doing well. Is the PS3 capable of making it 10 years? Maybe, but who knows what the market will be for then, so who can tell. It might make it 10 years and lose money every...

    Sony aims for comeback win with PS3

    I think one of the big problems for the Wii is that the games aren't doing that well. The attach rate isn't very good last I saw, and a lot of that is probably the extra contoller with game. (I forget the name.) First party titles are taking the lions share of what extra IS sold, and a lot of...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#34)---12/03/07-'POWERLESS' Mid-Season Finale (or the End)

    Force themselves? I watched season 1 and liked it a lot. The final 2-3 eps lagged, and the finale was bleh, but I figured they'd plot out season 2 better from the start so they didn't run into the snags of the first. I'm not watching Heroes to complain about it, I gave it through the end of a...

    Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#34)---12/03/07-'POWERLESS' Mid-Season Finale (or the End)

    Posting while distracted, so let me start from the beginning. There are good comic books, and bad comic books, their are "story driven" comic books, and "pulp" comic books. There are TV shows with careful plotting, or just thrown together. We can have TV shows with good dialogue or bad. So, I...
