WELL. Somebody is bitter because mom wouldn't pay for a subscription.Fenris Frost said:Bob's right. It's good to see that consumer culture hasn't become a horrific, bloated mass; a foul god the Western world venerate alternative to or sometimes comorbid with organised religion. It's also nice to see people mourn for such a magazine. The gravity and solemnity was not bordering on the obscene. I do hope Nintendo don't go under as a consequence, being a charitable venture for the good of children everywhere and all. But seriously, this is grotesque.
It is terrible. It was only noteworthy for the "death of superman" nonsense and what followed after was handled about as gracefully as your typical Spider-Man arc. Lots of dramatic shocks and then the writers just throw up their arms and say "just kidding!"Nalgas D.

Yeah Pokemon Yellow was the game that got me really into video games as wellCaramel Frappe said:We shall miss you Nintendo Power .. personally it has done a great service to society along with helping me get into Nintendo thus got into video games (especially with Pokemon Yellow, that set the deal with my love for video games overall). We'll truly wish you the best ... and hope you're doing okay Bob. Talk to me if otherwise (just offering support, this is quite moving after all).
Oh, I don't know about that. CNN doesn't seem to have any particular bias. And by that I mean, everyone says it's biased, but Republicans say it's liberal and Democrats say it's conservative, so they're probably both reading bias into programming where there is none. Granted, CNN is also full of useless blather about stories nobody should care about, but the fairness doctrine wouldn't have prevented that anyway.hentropy said:It's interesting how the deregulation of TV by Reagan in the 80s led to a bunch of things that were much more important in retrospect, such as the elimination of the fairness doctrine, which has made every hour of 24-hour news networks completely partisan opinion programming.
Yeah, the entire thing is a mess looking at it now after having read so much more stuff that's actually good in the 20 years since then. I could easily believe that it came from a Superman/Hulk story or was at least inspired by someone's idea for one, but judging by how they handled it that wouldn't've turned out well at the time either. I also forgot how much I hated the art style they used for stuff like that back then.SnakeoilSage said:It is terrible.

Considering Doomsday's powers, though, I'm convinced this whole idea grew from a "Superman vs. the Hulk" script that no one was ready to run with, because at the time the Hulk wasn't big enough on the totem pole of Marvel characters to earn such a prestigious place. These days, maybe. I'd love to watch a live action Hulk/Superman rumble.
