    Civil War *SPOILERS!*

    This is beginning to be a bit of a joke. The delay ruined any impact #5 would have had for me had I had it in my hands two months earlier. I am, however, so totally psyched for War Journal that I'll be dropping Ennis' run at the end of the current storyline. I just can't validate two punisher books and he seems to be retreading again and again.
  2. Piper, who in my opinion is wrestling's greatest heel of all time and star of They Live and the upcoming Sin-Jin Smyth, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma (a better outlook than non-Hodgkinsa apparently). The prognosis looks good and I know he'll kick cancer's ass. Much love to Mr. Piper and best wishes for a full recovery.
  3. Hello folks, just wanted to announce what's coming down the pike: 3 indie reviews and an article based on an interview with the director of a film that I am soooooo psyched to see. All this is after next week's bitter, bitter rant of course.
  4. Oops, by "control the future" I meant see into the future. And I now realize that he eats the painter's brain right before the bomb goes off so I'll just shut up now. Damn time travel!
  5. He's acted. Come to think of it, my best choice overall would have to be Tom Waits who is both a grizzled drunk and an amazing actor (Renfield in "Bram Stoker's Dracula" as well as one of my favourite movies "Down By Law")
  6. Shane MacGowan is the singer of the Pogues and who Cassady is based one from what I remember Ennis saying. He is the quintessential drunken Irish lout and would be perfect for the role.
  7. If we shout loud enough they'll hear us: Shane MacGowan as Cassidy! Shane MacGowan as Cassidy! Shane MacGowan as Cassidy! Shane MacGowan as Cassidy!
  8. Yeah...I was thinking the same thing. They even look alike! It is now safe to say that Sylar can learn at an incredible speed, heal at an incredible speed and control the future as well as telekinesis. How do you stop him? Hiro.
  9. Is there a tone of mockery in that article or is it just me?
  10. Hiro is the reason i watch television.
  11. I'd prefer to wait than have Jack Black do it.
  12. I teach at a school with high school aged kids who would probably be too afraid of what others thought for that kind of outburst. If it happened? I'd laugh. there are other teachers there to get pissed off.
  13. Thank you muchly sir. Funnily enough I trimmed 100 or so words that talked about the literature of Lovecraft. I will be reviewing some Lovecraft stuff for the podcast so stay tuned and it'll be done before you know it! Oh yeah...You think I could convince Yog-Sothoth to clean my room once he's here?
  14. A damn shame. I would send a letter if I had an address but an email will have to do. Thinking about what the industry would be like without Mr. Cockrum's contributions is depressing and it is just as depressing that he left us in such a fashion. I lost a grandfather in much the same way a few years back. My dad has the disease and so do I. I'm sure diabetes will hit me much harder the older I get as it is my father. I'll be donating whatever I can to the local Diabetes Foundation and I'd urge other to do so as well. This is not a condition that people should be dying from in the 21st century.
  15. This week's beautiful banner by the Master Yoda is from the cover of my favourite collection of Mr. Lovecraft's work. Thanks again Yoda. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

    Damn! A student. I guess I have to watch what I say huh? Welcome Brian, I think you'll like it here.
  18. Too busy growing a goatee and buying a sword?
  19. Thanks...I have a mac because I hate Windows so I won't be installing that crashfest on my lovely new computer. I'll stick with my XBOX I guess. I would love an RPG like Fable but with superheroes. Just a thought. I'll go now.
  20. Hey all, I'm new to the MMORPG thing, pre-new even. I have a Mac and am wondering if there's any word on something like CoH or CoV, the new Marvel or DC MMORPGs coming to Mac. Any help?
  21. I actually think he did have Sylar's Tk without realizing it. Didn't it seem strange that Sylar was throwing lockers at him and none hit peter? Thanks. Question answered.
  22. Right on, sir! A great album but I'm most psyched for Ecstasy of Gold which I consider to be the greatest film theme of all time.
  23. Peter met Claire in the hallway before the shit with Sylar hit the fan. I don't think Peter fully understands his powers, and thinks he needs to be near someone during usage. Peter fixing his leg long after Claire fled indicates, to me at least, that he retains powers for a little while after the other "hero" has left his side. My guess is that, after time (like Rogue), the mimicked powers fade away. Ah. I get what you're saying. Did he really absorb them? Or would he default to necessity? I just thought he was a coward. I'd have been telekinetically throwing locker doors right back at the mofo.
  24. Well if thats the case if I was him I'd be a little antsy about flying again. Peter was flying when got caught but still fell, that could just mean that he really didn't know how to control the power. Not necessarily mean he automatically loses it if he's out of range. Hopefully we will get an ep that truely explains his powers... The latest episode had him absorb Claire's powers but not Syler's. I'm thinking that Syler's different. Is it just me or was this one a little more boring than the others? No Hiro unitl the end.
