  1. Thanks for looking! Ultimate X-Men โ€” Huge Lot, Almost Full Run (55 issues)
  2. Thanks Yoda, I definitely loved the game, probably the best game I've played in a while. I could feel my heart racing and my anxiety growing throughout the cut scenes. I was slightly panicky and had hypertension for the month or so I was playing it.
  3. Check 'em out and don't hate me because I'm cheap and so are the games. Thanks, Rich Resident Evil 4 X-Men: The Official Game
  4. Yes. And all of them are hilarious. On a side note I can't wait for 'Reaper.'
  5. I'm using a few different people. Deadpool Spidey Capt. America Iron Man Wolverine Moon Knight occasionally: Ghost Rider & Colossus) How do you get Silver Surfer? Don't you need a special code for him, or do you need to beat the game?
  6. I got the game for the Wii and I love it. It wraps the whole Marvel Universe together in a somewhat cohesive game, considering all the characters and locations. I've put about 20 hours in and I'm starting to get the hang of it, the controls are quirky and hard to get familiar with if you've played any of the X-Men Legends games. Pros: Sheer number of characters and powers Ability to change costumes Similarities to the real Marvel universe Team Building feature Camera control (twist Nunchuk left or Right) Cons: If you've played the XML I or II the button presses vs. hand gesturing for power moves takes some time to learn. Hand gestures are sometimes recognized as different ones. Maintaining and playing as a team of four characters can be too much at times, details are sometimes lost Overall, the ability to use the Wii Remote to do 5 moves just by gesturing (on top of the other buttons) is at times overwhelming but also after a while is awesome. The make it or break it point is how long it takes someone to acclimate themselves to the Wii Remote. I usually use Woverine, Spidey, DEADPOOL, Iron Man and Cap. America. Also, I've heard there are VIP codes available to go to the website and earn more costumes in the games or win stuff. Does any one have one of these codes they can email me?
  7. I added you to my Wii and now that we both have done it we can exchange Mii charaters and instant messages. I'm playing Zelda right now but I'll be sure to send you my Mii character later. If you go to the 'Mii plaza' you should be able to see other people's Miis walking around. You can upload them to your system if they are set to 'Mingle.' Let me know if you can get this to work. PS. So what's the secret Mike, did you get a job offer from a company whose name is yet to be named?
  8. I add all of you when I get home tonight. I'll also send all of you my Mii and maybe some of the Miis I've made. Ron Burgundy and Chef are two of them. Sweet!
  9. On the main screen click on Wii Message Board (lower right corner) and then go to 'Create Message' โ€“ if you flip to the first page you will see your 4x4 digit code.
  10. I didn't see a thread started on this topic so I figured I would make an official Wii Friend Code Thread. There is one already started on Geekdrome but everyone always wants more Miis running around on their Wiis. You can add me by getting into your messages and going to your address book. Enter in people's 'Mii' codes and they can migrate to your 'Wii' (if they add you also). It's fun to see people in the background or stepping up to bat. So let's get this party started. Add your Wii code below and see other people's Miis in the 'Mii Parade.' slickrick - 7659 7913 8929 0403
  11. Gen-X, X-Men and Uncanny X-Men auction Another shameless plug. If you buy it and you heard it from this thread let me know and I'll send at least 3 additional various comics. Thanks, Rich
  12. I agree. But Snarf and a rock band actually make me very upset. I think this emoticon says it all.
  13. I think the arcade was by far the best. I just remember the Mousers and hating the with a vengence. Ahh what a great time it tis' remembering old quarter-play arcade games, before they were like $1.00 per play.
  14. I loved the episode. I actually haven't even deleted it which is what I do after each episodie. Probably because when I'm getting into a 'mode' at work and plugging in text and images the best thing to do is zone out and listen to a excellent podcast. That podcast would be my favorite podcast on Earth(2), Earth-s.net's podcast. Anyway, I wished I could remeber all the things that made my childhood what it was. Your episode made remember them and appreciate them. I'd have to say that Saturday morning cartoons made my childhood the most enjoyable. The Snorks, G.I. Joe, Go-Bots, Transformers, Dungeon and Dragons, Silverhawks, Thundercats, Tigersharks, TMNT, etc. Jenny, I also loved the TMNT movies. The first was the best and then the second. I did love seeing Casey Jones, who is now an actor on Law and Order I believe. T-u-r-t-l-e-power... teenage mutant ninja turtles (gotta love Vanilla Ice).
  15. See, I wish they made that more clear in the movie. Usually I pick up on stuff like that but I sense the action had me overwhelmed. Now that you clarify the necklace and the saying on it, Yoda, I think that you may be right, although during the movie it seemed that Sarah axed Juno in the leg because Juno didn't help anyone when they were in desperate need. Also, I may have missed it but do the majority of people think this is a good horror movie? An amazingly great horror movie?
  16. Yeah, we just got The Descent. I never heard about it until about a month ago. We don't get some out-of-US films unless they prove profitable in other countries. Kinda suncks. I thought the original version had Sarah escaping but that it was all a hallucination and it cuts back to her in the cave. I also never even go the part about the affair with Juno and Sarah's husband. Now that I look back it makes sense but in the movie it wasn't that clear, I think.
  17. DW, you are right the beginning did have an important event which made the rest of the fighting for Sarah mean something and also helped to set up the audience for what was to come further in the movie. It was pretty cool.
  18. Just got back from 'The Descent.' I waited a while so I could calm down and think about the movie before I commented on it, unlike X3, where I gushed but didn't critique. I thought it was an awesome movie. The acting, alright (it was a scary movie)... the plot, loose but manageable... the characters, not too cookie-cutter. The main points that made this movie excellent was the storytelling, the action and the flow. That is, it never slowed down and because of the enclosed space, a cave, I felt the conflict was unavoidable and agreeable unrelenting. I loved it. In many movies like this the bad guy always finds or catches up to the main protagonist...why? If they run, drive, hide there shouldn't be that much more action but they always find them. The gore was extreme but wasn't unnecessary. Anyway, before I go on I'd like to hear some other opinions. Let me know what you all think...
  19. Love the redesign. Definitely a huge step in the right direction. I like being able to click on things directly from the front page, or seeing something interesting and beign able to go to it. I haven't been around much but I'm sure the new layout will entice me to venture further into the forums. Keep up the good work Mike. One thing. I look at the front page in firefox and Safari on the Mac and there is a 'รณ' symbol before each link. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, maybe it's a Mac thing. Not an eyesore but more of a heads-up.
  20. Mike, As always great to hear your take on things. I really hope things work out and Marvel brings you aboard. From experience I know the biggest regret one could have is to give up. It hurts to know you didn't push through the hard times when you could have. I've had a few letdowns at work but fortunately, I finally reaping the benefits. Somebody will notice your hard work and talent but only after you pay with some blood, sweat and tears (either physically or in script). As a side note, there are some parts of the audio that are skipping. Not sure if it's my version or my iPod but in a few areas the audio repeats. Around 30 min. in, near the end and in a few more areas. I just fast forwarded through them. Later, Rich
  21. I just got back from the movie and it was better than expected. Actually, it might be better than X2. I was afraid that with a new director it would be all splash and no plot. It was hard to wrap all the action within a cohesive plot and I feel it was pulled off. I would have liked a little more but then it would be 4 hours long ( a little more dialogue from Collossus maybe). I was also able to drag my girlfriend along, much to her chagrin she loved it. I hope I hooked her. Death, birth, changing sides, losing powers. Even though they made it seem like closure there is so much more they can do. Where to begin. The sequence with Prof. X and Phoenix was among one of the best scenes. Wolverine and Jean at the end was a great climax to the movie (the last sequence with Magneto was the denouement). Two great characters and probably the most interesting in the movies, dueling it out. I wished Logan would have been incinerated to the bone so we could see his adamantium skeleton and then see him regenerate from there. "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch." The funniest thing ever, I'm so glad that was put in. I'm even more suprised that Shadowcat was kicking some ass and being similar to her character in the comics. Iceman vs. Pyro, again, was well executed. To see him in his full ice covering was icing on the cake. I was wondering why Leech didn't come into play at the end though. Use him against Magneto or Jean Grey. I felt his character could have come into play more. I was afraid Beast would be cartoon-y and comedic at best but he pulled off a great performance, mostly due to the ass-kicking at the end. The inclusion of more mutants and the focus on protests and 'taking sides' in relation of the mutant cure definitely brought the whole plot closer to home. The relationship and ignorance toward different people gave the movie resonance to everyone that was wise enough to find it. As a side note, if Magneto had lost his powers and Prof. X was dead I thought a 4th movie could delve into Magneto taking over the School in place of Storm. They could then bring the Sentinels in since they introduced Mr. Trask in the sequence with McCoy and the President talking (Lawrence Trask, was involved with the birth of the Sentinels in the comic book, I believe). All in all, I'm just glad it met expectations and far surpassed them. I will definitely be seeing it again in the theaters. I have a lot more to comment on but I think I'm going to lay in bed and read some X-Men. I got the '40 years of X-Men' DVD-ROM and for the last few months I've been hooked. Too bad I'm only on issue 148. Rich
  22. 5:05 AM? Over two hours! How late were you up recording the episode? When are you posting it? I'll be anxiously awaiting it.
