  1. just curious if it is happening to any of you other peeps. for the past couple months reprinted issues of old-old Spider-Man tales have been coming with one of the local newspapers. it is stuff like the original electro story and the enforcers, the type of stuff that is in the first essentials volume. they split the story into two parts so the format is just a very thin comic. I assume much of the purpose is to help build hype for the movie. anyone?
  2. this episode left me wanting more than any other episode has. there was so much development in this one.
  3. being mid-february the phrase "of the year" means nothing to me. the actual cash moneys number though is impressively higher than I expected. good for marvel.
  4. the cords never bothered me for guitar hero. the guitar gets switched out for other controllers enough to keep cords from being tangled.
  5. I think the internet just likes him because he was in "Thank You for Smoking" and that movie's status is a free pass in the biased gazebo of information that the internet is. I've seen a couple of his things and there isn't anything that makes him stand out as good or bad, as two-face or in general.
  6. yeah, but I have fond Man-Thing memories. We pre-gamed for Man-Thing and just MST3Ked it to no end. But atleast it wasn't as bad as most straight-to-sci-fi-television movies (even though it wasn't intended to end up that way) and hey, grabbing an cattle fence isn't nearly as bad as being shot
  7. It's been fun, but the identity of Claire's daddy was just too forced. I think that one flopped. I disagree. It is one hell of a coincidence but that is pretty much what makes Heroes more than just people with powers. It has already been established that Nathan has no problem playing it loose so it isn't out of character for him to have kids scattered around.
  8. 1337 This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard: it is funny how people spend so much time trying to make Wiki entries so technical and sterile for even the most silly of topics
  9. thats a bit harsh. This was better than Manthing. There just wasn't anything that made it particularly good in any way
  10. surprisingly less bad than expected it to be. I really feel like it edged the line on camp value but I can't make fun of it nearly as much as I wanted to going into it. on a scale from raspberry to communal elevated hand-slaps, it gets a shrug with a-matter-o-fact smirk-n-nod
  11. that trailer is the most entertained I've ever been via Seinfeld
  12. that is far more entertaining than it really should be. props to that kid
  13. the story has hit the mainpage now so, 2007's mainpage awards, what? new category? best collaborative effort, maybe?
  14. I feel like only Irredeemable would work if they are using a comic source. Otherwise you would have to go way back to the very very origin, his first wife's tale. Irredeemable would be more entertaining.
  15. I respect Vin Diesel. He seems to know where he stands in the world and takes it in stride. He's not the best thespian, obviously. It isn't that I enjoy his movies but he definately doesn't make them worse. Ummmm, he helped make the Riddick game good and he wrote the opening to the D&D anniversary. I care about him for that much, at least. Elsewheresssss, I had no idea Wanted was going to happen. thumbs up
  16. ATHF has always done a great job cutting a promo. It always gets me to watch the show. For a couple minutes. You think I would eventually remember that I don't find it entertaining. Well, I won't walk out of a theatre like I can change the channel at home.
  17. eh, I guess I'm not alone. The trailer really just screams testosterone and loud noises and I don't expect anything more than that from the movie. The only "well done" part, that gets me about all the trailers/ads, is the rebuttal to the arrows blotting out the sun. The production value is great but it hasn't shown me anything to make me think highly of it as a movie
  18. congrats, I dig that name. kudos to the friendly neighbour too
  19. I could see anywhere from 1 to 3 character deaths
  20. That reviewer's surface excitement pretty much sums up why I'm not really interested at all in this movie. It seems like I'm the only person ever because all my friends are super excited and think the trailers are the best things ever.
  21. very very cool. I always find little thinks like this effective at easing some concerns I may have
  22. there was some obvious patterns in those shots and it seemed like there was ways to sustain a collision with those shots. I'm a little skeptical partially because I've never played so I don't know if there are tricks/gameplay gimmicks I don't know about. It looked intimidating and I'm sure it is tough, but I saw enough gaps, both literal and figurative, to make it something I wouldn't normally be interested in seeing as a web video. I miss arcade games
  23. ddr, guitar hero, snake, my uncle who hasn't touched a game in years, many of my hardcore gamer friends... Nintendo is getting exactly what they want right now thanks to the innovative ds and wii
  24. Post your thoughts on Rogue Galaxy once you get some playing time. I am usually my friends' goto guy when it comes to videogame stuffs but I've been bad about staying up with it all the past couple months. A friend has been bugging me about that game because it seems cool but he doesn't know if he wants it. He asked me what I know about it and I simply don't. That said, Ar Tonelico has been dancing on the fringes of my mind for ps2 games
