    Marvel Civil War #1, what do you think?

    My problem is that if you use solicitations to order your comics or if you dare go to a comics website or listen to anything Joe Quesada has to say, you knew EVERY SINGLE THING that was going to happen in this issue before it happened. Quesada thinks that he gets better sales by spoiling...

    Nintendo's E3 showing--and beyond

    And there's the missing Super Smash Brothers trailer... with 4 new characters and a stunning fifth. MetaKnight (Kirby) Pit (Kid Icarus) Slutty Samus Wario (finally) and Snake from Metal Gear! complete with cardboard box.

    Veronica Mars - Season Finale! (Spoilers for last 2 seasons okay)

    That was a great episode. Season 2 wasn't as good as Season 1, but you can't really find fault with it. The fact that most people, myself included, were completely swerved by Beaver is pretty impressive. But I disagree that we didn't have enough clues. The previous threads all talked about...

    What Would Your Eberron CRPG Feature?

    Rule 1: Place it in Khorvaire ...where everything in the ECS and the "feel" and "soul" of Eberron is. Rule 2: see rule 1.

    Infinite Crisis - The Aftermath

    Oh, and I forgot the other thing I despised about the end of Crisis. Wonder Woman telling Batman "It's not worth it" is fine if you insist on "redeeming" her, but the two of them not checking the rubble for Alexander was silly. And then Alex showing up alive in Gotham just to be taken out by...

    Infinite Crisis - The Aftermath

    Cuz it was written by Judd Winick. Who writes two things: Politics, badly. And out of place preaching about gay rights, badly. OYL GA is bad, possibly only topped by Outsiders, also by Winnick, which is completely unreadable.

    Infinite Crisis - The Aftermath

    Gah. I loved a lot of what DC had done over the past few years: tight continuity (and mostly correct unless your name is Nightwing or Robin) interesting personalities for ALL their characters (including the usually boring big 3) actions having consequences and a feeling of real drama. I was...

    Rate the 2005 Movie Year & What is your list

    Tough call. The last few years have collectively been the best time for movies in my life. This year continued the trend of making movies I wanted to see but too many of them sucked. So I'm gonna give it a 5. Higher interest level than usual but a return to really bad execution. 1. Serenity...

    The Unofficial Christmas Swag Thread

    So far I got the Serenity DVD, which is just about all you need, right? I also got the Revenge of the Sith DVD, just to complete the set. And 10 DC Direct action figures. Chameleon Boy, Sinestro, and all eight Titans figures: Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Brother Blood, Blackfire...

    So what goodness did you GIVE for Christmas?

    My girlfriend is a huge My Little Pony fan/collector the same way I collect superhero action figures. For those not in the pony know, in 2003 they re-started the Pony line with a brand new set. A birthday or two ago I bought her two original Ponies Mint-on-Card. She had resisted buying any...

    Heart of Nightfang Spire help sought

    Most "logical" dungeon crawls have repetition since each monster needs its own living space. Sure, there's a ton of undead, a few constructs, and a small army of girallons. But the unded come in all types, the Tombstone Golem is a cute twist to a monster, and the girallons arent meant to be...

    What fantasy stories are should be done next on the big screen?

    Song of Ice and Fire really needs to be done as a weekly tv show. That's the only way it would work. Wait till the books are done, then iron out the teleplays to have as many end-of-hour cliffhangers as you can, squeeze in the flashbacks, figure out the character shifts, etc. For movie series...

    G4TV Does It Again

    I give X-Play a 5 OUT OF 5. I have never regularly watched ANY other shows on Tech Tv or G4. And while the Tech TV computer shows at least seemed to have some value, the other G4 shows all suck. Morgan Webb is the only "hot chick" on G4 that ever convinced me she actually knows what shes...

    The Apprentice Finale *Spoilers*

    I so don't get the "Randall is a prick" stuff. Do the White Sox share their World Series trophy with the Astros? Do first second and third all get Gold Medals at the Olympics? Do you offer co-winner deals when you're playing Scrabble or Settlers of Catan? Randall just spent an hour telling...

    what is your favorite Final Fantasy game and why ?

    IV (as 2) one of the best games ever. the music in Fabul. amazing. the guy tripping as youre retreating. exciting. Building up a party, and then your boat sinks and leaves you all alone again. Crazy :-D Polom and Porom saving you from the room with walls closing in. Shocking. (One of the...

    (Update) DM Decision: Player mistake- what would you do

    I very well might have done the same thing as the character. Why? 1> "There's a big seven headed dragon toasting party members and breathing fire everywhere" Other party members are trying to hide. If the wizard, fighter and cleric are hiding from the 7 headed dragon, there's nothing the...

    My wife is AWESOME!, i.e. my surprise Depeche Mode concert

    I saw them at MSG prbably a dozen years ago or so. Was completely unimpressed. The main problem was that they did about 90 minutes. Even though they have more albums than almost anyone. And its not like they play instruments or something. Of course, I'm spoiled by the 3 hour + sets of...

    Serenity 2

    One imagines that this rumor started circling in anticipation of pretty good DVD sales. Hopefully, they will be good, and all things Joss (Firefly / Buffy / Angel) will continue life as straight-to-DVD (or stop once on SciFi) movies. And then if the straight-to-DVD Marvel animated features are...

    So when's the movie finished?

    When I went to the sneak preview of Harry Potter, it had NO commercials, ONE preview and then went straight into the movie. People were still talking because they didnt realize the movie started. I think people complain too much. IT works fine the way it USUALLY is. Movie starts at 10? You...

    Info from the 2006 May to August WotC Catalog

    d20 Spectaculars: Who were they kidding earlier? Marvel and DC NEVER let anyone use superhero. the big dragon minis: I cry foul... what happened to them being packaged with one other mini? (presumably a dragon slayer and a dragon cultist of some sort) Now that they really are JUST the mini...
