Don't buy mass effect 3!! in Off Topic by somebody1   
Saturday, March 10, 2012
   [Edit]
Just got it. So far not bad, the main complaint everyone has is the game won't accept the physical models of your character from other games. You get to start with the levels you had in ME 2 but the faces won't import. Which annoys me as I had a great look for my renegade shep.

UPdate: turns out half of what Bioware promised isn't in the game, the endings make no sense and don't even offer closure. The game is half as long as mass effect 2. THe bioware forum is full of boycotts and even Forbes magazine is calling bioware out for the poor quality of the game....[See More]

I think it's partly that and partly they wanted to sell DLCs when they come out. A lot of folks are going to think twice about bioware games though.

WAKE UP MARVEL!!!! in Off Topic by pancho1007

I simply do not understand what is going on over at the Marvel camp....I mean, are they purposely trying to sink their own ship?? It seems that they have totally lost touch with their comic fans and just stop giving a hoot about making good books.To wit:

They have so many stupid versions going on that it is just getting impossible to follow....DC did the same thing before with the multiple Earths and I think its safe to say that it all that it produced was multiple headaches. The only explanation that I can come up with is that Marvel is just too cocky or too stupid to figure out that nine versions of wolverine is just not the answer.

Also what were they smoking when they decided to make spider-man afro/mexican???? Are they that LAZY and ...[See More]

Thank you for stating that there are 2 versions of spiderman to choose from captain hindsight..and yes I do have a problem with fury being black, cast aside that I already have a huge problem with the Ultimate Universe anyway... Couldn't they come up wit an original Afro Character that would lead S.H.I.E.L.D.? Couldnt they just have made Luke Cage the new director? I mean, why did they just stop there if they wanted to be so bold...They could have given us a Middle-Eastern Cap, or a Female Chinese Thor, or even an East-Indian Iron-Man...If they were so eager to add to the minority ethnicity ranks, why couldnt they just come up with fresh new characters? Is it so much hard to ask for a cool original Mexican hero rather than a hand me down? Are you suggesting that I should thank whoever came ...

I'm going to take a moment to address some of this even though it's against my better judgement


Firstly Peter was replaced by Miles Morales in the Ultimate universe only, if you don't like Miles, you still have the Amazing and Avenging Spider-Man titles to read about Parker. Second, was it wrong with Miles being half black/half Latino? He appeals to pretty much everyone Peter did (minus racists) and adds a minority ethnicity hero to Marvels ranks, which the super hero community has been sorely lacking. Do you also have a problem with Ultimate Nick Fury being black?

Oh yeah you know whats sooooo much better. Revamping every freaking book and story throwing away decades of stories and history. Completly ignoring certain characters and events. Yeah thats not alienating to the comic fans at all

What Im trying to say is look at any company. Its getting bad all over. Not just Marvel. Truth is comics are losing money the buisness is not what it once was and they have no other choice besides trying to grab every darn dollar they can.
What is your favorite Image title back in the 90's? in Off Topic by pancho1007   
Monday, March 5, 2012
   [Edit]
I was just browsing through my comic collection and was surprised to find out that at least half of what I owned was from Image. I just couldnt help but feel nostalgic. My personal favorites were gen 13, wild c.a.t.s., darkness, youngblood, witchblade, the tenth , wetworks and even kaboom!!... anyway I was just wondering if any other people out there owned Image books and what their favorites are. ...[See More]

I understand cyberforce being compared to x-men, but I also enjoyed the comic!I was a huge marc silvestri fan...I never did get to read too much savage dragon, I only remember him because of the crossover between his team and the wildcats...as for storm watch, I think I only owned that one issue where it was in the future and spartan was also part of stormwatch...ahhh memories...

Stormwatch and Savage Dragon where by long and far my favorite Image titles back in the day. I remember getting a free Stormwatch comic from a candy store and a bunch of savage dragon from the 99 cent store

The Savage Dragon was my top comic at the time, not just from Image but from any company. I also have a bunch of Stormwatch (loved Fuji), Shadowhawk, and Cyberforce. I remember a lot of people saying Cyberforce was just a poor mans X-Men but I liked them way better than the X-Men that was being put out at the time. Those where the ones I was buying when they were coming out and of course now I'd love a full run of The Maxx.

Blob and Juggernaut in Off Topic by Xem   
Sunday, February 26, 2012
   [Edit]
I've always wondered what exactly would happen if Juggernaut and Blob fought. Maybe they have before, I really don't read a whole lot of X books, but.. What would happen if Blob, an immovable object, were hit by Juggernaut, an unstoppable force. Would it be like dividing by zero? Is this how unicorns are made? I want to know!...[See More]

That's actually kind of funny. I always felt like the Blob had pretty crummy powers anyway, unless if he's large enough to block the only entrance to a characters ultimate goal, it always seems like someone really intent on getting through him could just.. go around, given most characters have at least some level of enhanced agility/speed.

@ mrjayberry
Biting the Wasps head off in Ultimatum might count as a victory, I dunno. Other than that, yeah, he's sort of like a fat Sabertooth in the sense that anything he's ever involved in -will- fail. I've decided that ultimately, Sabertooth and Blob are good guys, pretending to be bad guys that are just really really bad at what they do, so they indirectly foil the main scheme of whoever they're working for!

Unless he has help I'm not sure I've ever seen the Blob win a fight, he really is just a big bully who is always getting put in his place. Juggernaut on the other hand is being wasted if he isn't being written as one of the 25 toughest dudes on the planet.

The ground beneath Blobs feet would be torn up under her. One time the Hulk fought the blob and lifted him but dirt and grass was stuck to blobs feet due to him being immovable.
