On a whim I decided to check IMDB to see the status of the rumored Preacher movie, and they are stating that not only is it set for a possible 2004 release but that James Marsden (Scott Summers/Cyclops) will be playing Jesse.

After thinking about this, I've come up with the following. Just as six Borg soldiers are deployed to assess the situation, the Phalanx (realizing they can't properly defend two sides at once) swoop in and assimilate Brainiac-13. With him added to their arsenal, they appear to be unstoppable -- especially after they consume one of the Borg and systematically destroy the other five. What the Phalanx did not/could not know is that those six Borg soldiers did exactly what they were assigned to do. Though assimilated, the Borg continues to function as part of the Collective -- sending back critical data about the Phalanx. And the five that were destroyed have taught the Collective how to defend themselves against the Phalanx. With this knowledge in hand, the Borg rip through the Phalanx like papier-mâché, assimilating most and destroying the rest. Having won, the Borg turn towards New York City (and the rest of the world), preparing to absorb its technologies and peoples, but little did either side know that Brainiac-13 had an ace up his sleeve. Much as he did with Metropolis, Brainiac-13 incorporated himself into the city before being assimilated by the Phalanx (and subsequently by the Borg). So when the Borg swarm the city, Brainiac-13's systems (the city itself) fight back, assimilating the Borg Collective (and the Phalanx they assimilated). In but a few moments New York City is miraculously reborn from the ashes, utilizing Phalanx, Borg, and Brainiac-13 technologies to become a shimmering, futuristic skyline. It doesn't stop there, however, as the alien technology spreads worldwide, consuming everything (save life forms) in a matter of hours. And though there is initial fright, the change is for the better -- people don't have to worry about anything any more (jobs, war, government), as everything is taken care of for them by the new world leader: Brainiac-14.

Quicksilver. He has an ass-load of potential, being the neglected son of Magneto, the twin brother to an Avenger, and the husband of a princess, but more often than not he comes off as a whiny, second-rate Flash.

Brainiac is consumed quickly and without much fuss, making whoever assimilated him that much stronger. Question is: Who takes him on?

I'm half tempted to null vote and claim they all come together to form a super race, but I won't be cheap like that. Hmmm... this one's a thinker.

These previews continue to excite me. I don't know about everyone else, but I have high hopes.

I still need to finish the first one. It was a Christmas present that I played for a few hours then never went back to. Shame, 'cause it's a good game.

Anyone else willing to admit their addiction to these games?

Found this little tidbit on IGN.com. (source)

Skins: ONi has been added. It will now be the default skin. Images: The Earth-2 logo has changed colors.

I would also consider Hugo Weaving for Doom.

Despite that fact that I've read very little in the way of the Fantastic Four, I'm a huge mark. Don't ask me why, I just am. Having said that and knowing a movie is slated for release in 2005 (supposedly), I went ahead and casted the parts as I'd like to see them. Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic: Viggo Mortensen Sue Storm/Invisible Woman: Patrica Stratigias (Trish Stratus) Johnny Storm/Human Torch: Jason Reso (Christian) Ben Grimm/The Thing: Vin Diesel* Victor von Doom/Dr. Doom: Christian Bale * In the past I've chided filmmakers for changing a character's race (RE: Beyoncé Knowles as Lois Lane), but I'm thinking more about the voice here. Vin has the perfect voice for The Thing, never mind that he's half-black and Ben Grimm is white. Agree? Disagree? Pipe in!

Give Mario the Cape Feather so he can fly high up, which will leave Sonic scratching his head looking for the mustachioed plumber. As soon as Sonic slows down, all Mario has to do is gain a shit load of speed, and dive-bomb right on top of Sonic's head. Game over.

But Sonic's power-up wouldn't work in the Mushroom Kingdom -- I set that up in the description.

My thoughts exactly. That's why I added the Warp Pipes so they could hop from world to world -- this way no one had a clear edge with a home field advantage.

I think it's the evil sneer.

Ever reset the game without saving? Now that's gold, especially after you've done it two-dozen times.

You are right; there was a major flaw in my argument. But I still don't see Flash as being powerful, even if he theoretically can cause a nuclear explosion -- he's just fast.

:lmfao:

Uhhhh... okay. Back to reality: 8 seconds or not, all Mario needs is one Star and Fire Flower to destroy Sonic, and if they're in the Mushroom Kingdom Sonic can't use the Fire Shield because that's back on his world. Mario distracts Sonic by tossing a barrage of fireballs into his path, and BOOM -- runs into him while the Star's still doing its thing for the win.

.400 Software Studios and Adam Ryland have released several new screenshots for the upcoming wrestling simulator TEW. Potential Signings New Game Location Editor Match Editor This looks so fucking awesome! I can hardly wait!

Fast does not equal powerful. In truth, however, if the Flash punched you while running at top speed he'd cause a nuclear explosion -- so I guess that is powerful, but DC doesn't write him that way.

The Saint is so tough he's kicked a tank, and stood at Ground Zero of a nuclear blast and survived. (Afterwards he quipped, "Not enough gun.") To top that off, he's killed both The Devil and God! Wolverine, of course, has the Adamantium skeleton, razor-sharp claws that can cut through anything, has survived a bazooka blast in the abdomen and so much more. If these two squared off, who would take the cake? Place: Somewhere in southwest America Conditions: Normal

Oh come on! Sonic couldn't even touch Mario if he had a Star or metal suit. Sans those, Sonic has a better chance, but Mario has fought Bowser, Donkey Kong, and hordes of other characters. If Sonic comes zipping at him, all Mario has to do is keep jumping over his blue ass until he's able to use Sonic's speed against him by making him fall of a cliff.

So is the Joker not willing to kill? He is, but often times he wants to toy with people first. Add in Norman's ability to fly above the Joker and shoot rockets and pumpkin bombs at him, and this is over.
