    All Female A-Force Replaces The Avengers

    Could be okay if done well. Marvel's biggest problem with their female heroes has frequently been that with few exceptions, they tend to be members of larger team books where their presence in the team appears conditional to their relationship with a male member. - Jean Gray and Rogue...

    Most crazy thing your girlfriend (or signifigant other) has been upset at you for.

    Desperately trying to avoid this turning into an ill advised "bitches be crazy" list so I'll qualify this with saying I've been equally guilty of being upset at my significant others for astoundingly stupid reasons. That being said. I've had girlfriends get upset with me for things I did...

    What 'Class' Do You Naturally Tend To Play In Games?

    Time was that my preferred class was the DPS warrior type. Mainly because I figured it was the most "basic" class and it was a good way to get into a game while learning the mechanics as I go along. The problem is that it's usually too slow for my style. cleaving through enemies while...

    Fantastic Four Trailer Reveals Radical Re-Imagining

    If I didn't know this was supposed to be an F4 film it might look pretty good on it's own merits. ...even if it does look like they tried to make "The Fly" into a team film. 1. Scientists go into science pods 2. Science Happens 3. "We meddled in God's domain!" 4. Drama. But it's...

    Your all-time favorite DLC

    Probably a tie between Batman Arkham City: Harley's Revenge and Borderlands 2: Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep. Harley's Revenge was just a good follow up story to the existing plot. It tied up a loose end or two and was, all in all a good add on. Tiny Tina is much the same. It's the...

    Escape to the Movies: Paddington - Surprisingly Bearable

    Good to hear. I have no real emotional ties to Paddington, mainly recall seeing the stop animation shorts during my youth while watching Nick Jr. with you younger relatives. I wasn't exactly eager to see this, but I'm glad to hear it wasn't another Alvin & The Chipmunks/Smurfs/Garfield style...

    Any good game/general geek sites that dont moan about sexism/racism/homophobia?

    I too prefer to get my news from reporters that are guaranteed to align with my politics and world view. It's disturbing and distressing to me to have to hear opinions that differ from my own. If anyone might happen to know of such a place kindly let me know.

    Take an old post. Contrast it with your current self.

    Yes, Spiders are still fucking terrible as are Juggalos. I don't own an MP3 player anymore. That stupid fucking song still wormed it's way onto my Spotify playlist though.

    Poll: Ok anyone else think this is BS?

    Guess it depends on his contract. Pro sports lives and dies by celebrity players. Doing the on camera song and dance is just as much of a part of their job as playing their game. If he's required to flog the sport to the press and won't then yeah fine him.

    Whats the point of an Ipad/tablet/etc?

    Depending on the type of device they cab be tremendously useful. As a cartoonist I've found my Surface Pro to be one of the best investments of my life. On the other hand my Asus is pretty much a pure media machine that only gets used to stream netflix (Chromecast usually), read books and...

    8 Video Games That Are Better Than The Movies They're Based On

    Honorable Mention to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That movie is complete garbage but the PS2 game with the same title is actually a pretty damn solid piece of work even if it is pretty much just a God of War clone. It should be pointed out that the game was under development before it was...

    How Little Fears Returned the Worst of your Childhood Nightmares

    I have the 1st edition of Lf somewhere in my collection. As a big fan of the original WoD games I was intrigued by the concept. sadly the execution wasn't spectacular. There's a lot of rules and concepts ion that first edition that are never filled out or established. I honestly didn't even...

    Most Frustrating BOSS Enemies In Games!

    Augustine: inFamous Second Son. This game based itself entirely on the idea of absorbing a wide variety of powers to be used in taking down the big bad. Playing as a Hero I focused more on my Neon and Smoke skills since they had more non letbal takedowns. Imagine my annoyance when the...

    Poll: When did you start to call yourself a gamer?

    I grew up with "gamer" as a catch all term for folks (like myself) who played tabletop/pen & paper games. So, while I can't suggest a better alternative "gamer" just hits my ear weird when it's used as a term for folks who play video games so I don't tend to use it.

    Should Artists charge money for their content?

    I guess that depends on the content in question. Artists looking to remain independent and still make a living off of their creative works tend to have to set up and maintain multiple revenue streams. Merch sales, patreon, ad sales etc. And that's all well and good. However, in my...
