  1. I actually liked saikano and was kind of dissappointed that it was only 13 episodes long. I wished that it was longer but I was satisfied with the ending. I am more into Mecha anime(NGE,gundam) or anime full of ass kickery(Hellsing,Trigun,Cowboy Bebop) but my girlfriend made me watch this promising that I would enjoy it. She also made me watch Elfen Lied and I thought I give it a recommendation to people who liked Saikano. Keep in mind that it is DEFINATELY not reccomended for anyone under 18 because it is one of the most violent anime's I have ever seen and also one of the saddest too.

    PS3 news

    What is Sony doing indeed. What the fuck? It dosen't really matter how much the price is raised because everyone is looking for a wii these days anyway. Sony is doing a good job of making people avoid buying the console like the plague....so to speak

    I hope they don't change the weapons the turtles use......that would suck.

    The new New Avengers

    It makes sense that Luke Cage will be the team leader. Bendis has done a great job making him into a major player in the marvel U and now we will all get to see him strut his stuff.
  5. I agree with your statement but having Mary Jane, Gwen Stacey and Black Cat in the movie would be awkward seeing as all three of them would have to be a love interest at some point.
  6. Isn't each volume of Hellsing Ultimate based on a single volume of the manga?
  7. It might have been a gift for someone he dislikes? :happy:
  8. That was pretty funny.I see that they are going for quantity not quality with #1.
  9. Get them in order, its important to. It goes- Seed of Destruction Wake the Devil Chained Coffin Right Hand of Doom Conquerer Worm Strange Places Although its right about Strange places that you can move onto the BPRD spinoff series. Thanks. By the way, Fray was awesome.....but now I'm sad it's done.
  10. I'm cool with just the 4 of us but it would be cool if more people were interested. I'm sure that if we give it more time more people will want to take part.

    Xbox 360 news

    Wow, that really sucks for all the people who already have a 360 like myself. I wonder if the new 360 console will have more fans inside so it runs at a lower temperature.
  12. I think that the comic book club is an awesome idea. I am always looking for reccomendations for comics so I think this would be an awesome fit. I'm all for it.
  13. Do the Hellboy TPB's follow any continuity or is each Trade self-contained? I just finished reading Seed of Destruction and I loved it. I don't know if I should read the Trade's in order or buy them as a see them at the comic book store. I don't want to be missing out on significant plot details if I just grab them in no particular order.
  14. I would dare to say that you team is too evil. Ra's can also throw a pretty good sexy patry when he wants
  15. I wouldn't put it that high. Bruce revealing himself would cripple his ability to function as Batman. Peter is more of a target for the bad guys, but I don't think its caused Peter nearly as much of a problem. He has no personal wealth and no property for authorities to confiscate. Peter doesn't need a secret ID to function, its different to say, Matt Murdock's problems because unmasking didn't result in the goverment coming after him. This echos my original sentiments I posted in the CW thread. To me, Parker unmasking himself isn't that big of a deal that some people are making it out to be. In his real life he's a nobody. To me, someone would have to be a personal figurehead that is recognizable to the world, like the above example of Wayne or Stark, for it to be a big deal. That would be parallel to someone like Bill Gates in our reality coming out as a superhero. Parker in parrallel to the random bagger at your grocery store coming out as a superhero. That's why it wasn't a big deal when he was unmasked in the second Spiderman movie. It wasn't so much the fact that he unmasked himself as it was the fact he told the world he was Peter Parker. Saying this automatically allows people to figure out where he lives. They would also find out he has a wife who is a famous model. Seeing as Peter is a teacher it also puts a target on each and every student he has taught and also all of the people he works with. It wasn't a big deal in the movie when he was unmasked because to those people he was just another face but when you put a name to it, everyone he knows is now a target. The last time somebody found out who Spider-Man was it ended in the death of Gwen Stacey. Superman may not wear a mask but he wouldn't tell the world he is Clark Kent either.
  16. Does Smithers come with Mr Burns also? I would think that the two would be a packaged deal.
  17. If you are going to create a team of Superheroes I thought that it would be cool to create a team of Supervillans. :devil: My team would be made of the following evil persons: Dr Doom: He's my choice for team leader. Super intelligent, strong and has mastery of magical forces. He is the obvious choice for team leader. Soundwave(Transformers) + Tape posse: Strong, Loyal, no personality. The perfect choice for an evil henchman....henchbot. Combine this with the added bonus of getting Rumble, Ravage, Lazerbeek and Frenzy, he is just too good of a choice to pass up. Doom would also be able to listen to all those old tapes from the 80's on him. Poison Ivy+Harley Quinn: The two come as package deal and would provide the sex appeal of the group and there tomfoolery would provide the comic relief. They are also evil which helps also. White Queen: The telepath of the group and a master manipulator. She's not too bad to look at either. Sabertooth: This team needs some Testoterone and Creed has more than enough to spare. The group berserker and all around jerk. reserve member Stewie Griffin: Doom would serve as the perfect mentor to guide him in his plans to world domination. They should also be able, between the two of them be able to come up with a plan to kill Lois.You also can't forget with Ivy, Harley and White Queen think of all the sexy parties he could throw.
  18. I think at this point Wolvie actually has less emotional baggage, especially, since x-23 in her short life has killed her own mother involentarily, slaughtered dozens of people, been raised as a killing machine, undergone surgery without anaesthetic and worked as a teenage prostitute. Wolverine has faced so much emotion strife over the years that its hard to find something that would really affect him anymore. Hes much more of a known quantity. I say that she has less emotional baggage because we don't fully know Wolverine's past. So for the time being it is true that X-23 carries more emotional baggage but I'm sure Marvel will have something up there sleeve that makes him that much more of a tragic figure.

    Final Fantasy XII

    I didn't really understand how to use them at first, and didn't realize you could chain them for like, minutes at a time. To be honest I usually just chain Quickenings to fight bosses without even being touched I can't remember the last boss I have actually fought.
  20. My pick for a team: Captain America- Is the obvious choice for a leader and requires no explanation. Martian Manhunter- Strong, Smart, Loyal and could act as the group psychic. Colossus- He is the muscle of the group. Although he may nat be as strong as the Thing or the Hulk he is selfless and loyal to a fault. This makes him a far better choice than Hulk or Thing. Dante (Devil May Cry)-The comic relief of the group. Although somewhat of an odd choice Dante brings with him his unmatched skills with swords and guns which makes him an excellent short range and long range fighter in battle. He also has super agility and can be shot in the head and laugh in your face about it His devil powers would serve as the groups ace in the hole when in a bind. You also can't forget about his laidback and carefree attitude which would allow him to get along with everyone in the group. Storm - The eye candy of the group (every team has at least one member). She's incredibly powerful and could serve as second in command. Batman(Batman Beyond)- Although I really wanted to put Bruce on the team, he is much better solo which also why I couldn't put Spider-man or Superman on this team. Terry would make a great addition to this team because he brings the same intensity and determination as Bruce does but he also young and could learn from the more battle tested members of the group. X-23- She is just as vicious as Wolverine in battle but she brings significantly less emotional baggage with her. Since she is young Cap and Storm could serve as mentors to her much like Cap was to Quicksilver . She would also make an excellent sparring partner for Dante.....and the group wouldn't have to worry if he got impaled every now and then :happy: .
  21. I should think (at least in my mind) Spider-man unmasking is the biggest moment in comic books not only for this year but probably for a few years to come. Peter's unmasking is something that Marvel has commited to and should be seen as a major event, it would be the equivilent of Bruce Wayne unmasking himself for the world to see.

    Final Fantasy XII

    I actually was able to beat this Esper in one shot by chaining my Quickenings together. If you have level 3 Quickenings for your party I would suggest trying that.

    The PSP Thread

    Is Sony planning on doing a redesign for the PSP? I have been looking into buying one for a while but I have been noticing as of late the console price has been droping. This is much like what happend to the DS before the DS lite came out.
  24. That's what I figured but I always hoped there would be a sequel.....oh well.

    Final Fantasy XII

    Does anyone the best combination of gambits to use? I only really use them to get my support characters to attack and occasionally heal while I take on the enemies.
