The HIVE 90210-911: Volume 2: Extreme Ultimate Home Edition; Gone Wild w/ Nano-Bots!

HEY REL-

Sometime we'll have to talk comics. You seem to know a bit about them. I used to consider myself a Comicphile (lover/collector of) and a Comicologist (studier of). Got out in late 90's but returned in part for Ultimate line and now follow certain storylines (Civil War got me back into it along with the New Avengers) and now I'm trying to decide if I like the Skrull storyline.

Appaers no one is home......

Must be the weekend at the Hive.....

I should be used to it by now.....

But I do get to type to myself and others when they do arrive!

Maybe even later tonight!

So until later....


....and keep on smilin' everyone....

Well, somebody *is* here... just not a big comic books buff.

Currently, I'm wrestling with Python.

Cheers, LT.

Heh heh.. I tend to have selective knowledge in Comic books. Even though I don't collect a lot of the monthly titles (Right now I'm mainly collecting X-men related titles (except for Astonishing and Cable) ), I like being familier with what's happening in both the DC and Marvel universes.

Personally, I sort of think a lot of the Secret Invasion was 'meh.' I truly wanted there to be better revelations like MJ, Aunt May. Norman Osborn, or Cyclops* was a Skrull and that several of the Bronze Age Savage Land heroes were actually humans.

*Seriously, why can't Cyclops just admit that he is the new Magneto? I mean he already is turning the X-men into his own army of soldiers, he already formed an death squad, and tried to commit genocide by bioengineering the legacy virus to work on Skrulls. Right now, I'm waiting for him to have San Fransisco succeed from the US so he could form New Genosha.

Tmi?

 

[WhatGravitas]

Tmi?

Eh, I mean this python.

Indents to mark blocks? Seriously? I have to watch my indents?

I think... I keep myself to C++, less messy for the way my head works. But then, I'm modding Civ 4... and crawling through the C++ source code is much, much harder than the little, pretty modular bits of Python.

Cheers, LT.

Heya hive. Just got back from doing a spot of shopping. I bought myself a new printer. Got a smokin' deal on the HP Deskjet J6480. $120, marked down from $200.

I think the time is right to be buying a new computer to go with it. This could be a very good Christmas afterall.

New printer, new computer, new widescreen HDTV to use as monitor for new PC.

All I get monthly is New Avengers and Hulk. (3.99 a book ) I then make a point of thumbing through Spider-man, Wolverine, Hulk and Thor. If I was at a speciality shop I would read through Skrull Invasion and Crisis also.

Personally, I sort of think a lot of the Secret Invasion was 'meh.' I truly wanted there to be better revelations like MJ, Aunt May. Norman Osborn, or Cyclops* was a Skrull and that several of the Bronze Age Savage Land heroes were actually humans.

When I heard about the Invasion I was all "Bendis is destroying marvel! Groooan" ) but some of it seems really good with a lot of long term storylines to do / use. Basically Shield and Hydra are gone. Enter Sword ( huh?!?) Jarvis made me wonder but yeah- most of the "reveals" I suspected and was not surprised by. And whom is say all of the sleeper agents have been revealed.

*Seriously, why can't Cyclops just admit that he is the new Magneto? I mean he already is turning the X-men into his own army of soldiers, he already formed an death squad, and tried to commit genocide by bioengineering the legacy virus to work on Skrulls.

I have heard so much of how Cyclops is doing everything wrong that I was thinking he was either a Skrull or possessed by Shadow King. I figured he was still under the influence of Apocalypse. Or White Queen. Or Pheonix is back and not impressed (though She would go after Emma first I would think).

The "X" books have really been kinda =meh= to me for a long time. Even Astonishing was only okay. Most of the reveals felt forced.

I've been wanting a new computer for a bit now. This one is 7 years old and even with McAfee (that painfully updates daily) on it I swear its got bugs.

Have you considered taking it in to GeekSquad and having them run an analysis?

.

It's not the Shadow King since Storm is dealing with him in the "Worlds Apart" mini. It's also not the White Queen since Cyclops has been keeping X-Force from her (as well as the fact that he just banged Madeline Pryor (who just cam back from the dead)). Pheonix most likely is the "mutant messiah baby" so it can't be her since she's stuck in the future with Cable. So yeah, if anything it's probably going to be Apocalypse's influence since Cyclops (since having Cyclops turn back into Apocyclops is easier to do then admitting that the writters have mischaracterised the entire X-men crew).

Of course, having Cyclops become Apocalypse again makes it so much easier to do that X-Men vs. Avengers/Initiative story
