  1. I liked the comic strip when it first came out, before it delved into reverse racism and super liberal america bashing. I've watched the show, and you can deffently see the creators views coming through. My local newspaper, even as super liberal as it is, actually stopped running the comic after the comics creator said in an interview how all of Americas problems can be traced back to whites, and that if the black populas was smart they would have rose up long ago and established their own land in America, free from the opression of the "evil white devil".

  2. So I missed the release of this, slipped under the radar, and am planning on picking it up today or tomorrow. I was just wondering since alot of us here got the regular collection when it same out, I was wondering if anyone has picked this up and if Capcom did a good job porting all the games over.

  3. I'd thought it would be fun for everyone to list their favorite movies for each genre, not neccesarily which movies you think are best, but the movies you could watch anyday and be enjoyed.

    Western: The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean

    Drama: The Shawshank Redemption

    Horror: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

    Comedy: The Big Lebowski

    Military: Full Metal Jacket

    Feel free to add more genres to the list, these were just the ones I could decide on right now.

  4. Just dive in and enjoy the beauty of the game, the landscape itself is one of the best points of the game.

    As for a pointer, when in doubt, reflect the light off your sword. This is basically a thinking mans action game, the colossi just take inovative thinking, sometimes obvious thinking, to take down.

  5. Oh, I agree, I hate gamers who tout nothing but graphics, or how good a game looks while the gameplay is shit. However, the day and age were in a graphical leap from one generation to the next is needed to capture an audience and draw them into looking at your games closer. With Nintendo already under fire from alot of developers for their, in my opinion, horrendous controller, and then to have a system that is going to be the weakest one and also the last one to reach market doesn't bode well.

    Graphics can be used as a great hype machine, look at the PS3, it stole alot of press from the 360 release because of how amazing some things were that were being shown, even to the point were Mircosoft admitted that yes the PS3 is more powerful than the 360.

    But, with Nintendo's reluctance, it seems, to grow up, and with Nintendo losing ground in thier own country, I would just hate to see them go the way of Sega.

  6. Predator by a land slide. In the novels, you find out that the predators were the creators of the aliens, and send their young out on their first hunts against aliens. So, the predators see the aliens as such a little threat that predators who have never hunted anything in their lives, hunt the aliens first, they don't even have to build up to them, aliens are the bottom of the totem pole.

  7. I posted this before the forums went down, so I'll repost it:

    ZD media and EGM are reporting that developers who were given hands on time with the revolution are reporting that they are dissapointed with the graphics, saying they are barely better than what the Ganecube currently produces.

  8. I guess I'm one of the few people that didn't mind the Scarlet Spider's costume, the storyline however....

    I didn't hate it, but it's far from a great design. That's for sure.

    Oh, I agree, one of my biggest faults was with the insignia. If he had atleast designed it himself in the story, it would be better, but the fact that he bought the jacket in the mall and then ripped the sleeves off just seemed cheesey, at least the "real" Spiderman actually created his signature spider design.

  9. Any vote other than Magneto is wrong. Magneto will protect those loyal to his causes. Joker and Lex Luthor? Um, yeah. They would turn on their compatriots in a New York second.

    Exactly, Luthor has always proven that he will stop at nothing and go over anyone in his pursuits of dominance. The man is the personification of self-interest. Joker is a sociopath who wouldn't trust his reflection. Magneto, however, given that you are on the same page as him wouldn't betray you and would go to bat for you.

  10. It's not video game related, but recently my wife bought something with outrageous S&H. She does quite alot of selling on various auction sites, so she decided that she should purchase a scale, so that she would be able to more accurately know how much to charge for S&H, she being one of the few honest people left doesn't charge more than what she should. So, after checking a couple stores, and even the ones they sell at the post office, the cheapest one was going to run her about 40 dollars for a scale that would measure up to 20 ounces. On ebay, however, she found one being offered by a seller for 2 dollars that measured up to 35 ounces, the catch, he wanted 20 dollars for S&H. She decided that paying the inflated S&H would still save her money than buying one at the store. The thing that pissed me off about this, is that not only did she recieve the wrong color, she bought a black one and got a white one, that on the package where the post office marks how much the package cost to ship, it showed the guy only had to pay 7 bucks for S&H, so he got to pocket 13 bucks. That's too much of an overcharge, and the sole reason thay do it is because ebay takes a percentage of your selling price, but you get to keep all of the shipping money.
