  1. So, I'm taking the new girlfriend home with me to meet my parents weekend after next, since if she doesn't meet them this fall break, it likely won't be until NEXT fall break, since she's going abroad to France next spring.

    I'm freaking out. My parents are nice people and all, but... oy.

  2. I've not, but I'm going to check the archives. Be back momentarily with thoughts.

    Edit: Nailed it. This thing was a self righteous piece of shit up and down. Good lord, I just hatehateHATE that scene at the end with Bats reaching for the syringe. I highly doubt Batman would allow himself to take it again. This is a dude who only has one "super power" and that's strength of will.

    Oi.

  3. ...I have the Fantastic Four series on DVD. The second season, after they switched animation studios, is actually pretty good. The voice actors are STILL the iteration I here when I read an FF book, too.

    Spidey and X-Men were head and shoulders above it, but it wasn't nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

  4. I've read Marvels, and it's not even close. Kingdom Come is just this incredible epic that really touches on what it is to be man. Just everything clicked in this story, the art, the imagery, the writing, all of it.

    The splash page of Superman descending back into the world, just contemptuous toward those below him, sent chills down my spine.

    Wow.

  5. Working my way through Prey. Even though it's only two years old, it really shows its age, graphically. Looks like an original Xbox game with shinier textures, and can be maddening (it loves to drop you in a big wide-open room and assume you'll see the little blue object hidden away somewhere), but it's all right.

    I saw a play with one of the voice actors in it, yesterday. Lee Ernst is the voice of The Keeper and is just captivating on stage. I've seen him in three or four things at the Milwaukee Rep and loved him every time.

    Has nothing to do with video games, just felt like sharing.
