LOL, Katana and Psylocke combined forms Kokoro, the most Japanese character ever!

muscles like this? posted:One kind of skeezy thing the Marvel Heroes developers did was exploit a loophole in Metacritic. They changed the game's name and were able to get it re-rated as if it was a new release, thus ignoring any older reviews. Considering metacritic isn't really equipped to deal with games that evolve as much as diablo-likes or MMOs, that's fine. A review of vanilla world of warcraft literally has no meaning today.

Yeah, Marvel Heroes was like dogshit bad when it came out, but extensive patching saw it improve to be playable and even fun. But they were still rated at Metacritic of "dogshit bad" due to that initial launch. They changed the name again this year, and they'll do it again next year.

Did the Amalgam guys run out of ideas by the time they got to JLX? Impulse combined with Quicksilver, Namor combined with Aquaman. I mean, that's not even Amalgaming anymore.

Not the Sub-Aquatic Man.  I also remember Nightcreeper, who is Nightcrawler but for the lulz; and Captain Marvel, who combines Captain Marvel and Captain Marvel. Except he's a mutant. They combined Hawkman + Falcon, right? And Green Arrow + Hawkeye? Even in the '90s, I knew they should have gone with Hawkman + Hawkguy. e: Ah, it was Hawkman + Angel. Close enough.

boom boom boom posted:Anybody here read Conqueror of the Barren Earth? It's on old DC 4 issue mini. The first issue, it's the future, a spaceship is sent out to rediscover Earth. It gets attacked by aliens, gets blowed up, the single survivor is a short haired blonde lady who allies with a couple tribes and decides to unite the Earth against the aliens. It ends on a cliff hanger with her captured by this barbarian warlord. I read it, and was like, holy poo poo, this owns. Why did this not go anywhere? The really need to bring back Conqueror of the Barren Earth!     (collects all the Warlord backups and the 4-issue mini that closes the story out) Don't worry, she completely shivs his rear end in the last issue and it's pretty great when it happens. redbackground fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Feb 7, 2016 |

No matter how many times I reread Miracleman the sudden massive tonal shift in the final book always knocks me for a loop. I love it though. I think it holds up better than V in a lot of ways.

I think that megathread bias makes BSS less active, or at least less inviting. Conversations inside a megathread tend to sputter out after tge first few pages, kicking back in when there's a new issue of the megathread's topic. At the same time, I suspect that someone who just wants to bullshit about Beta Ray Bill or whatever is less likely to do so if the Thor thread is a few dozen pages long—who wants to either read up for a few hundred posts (or pages), or feel like they're derailing ongoing conversation? I want to post some more focused threads to try and tilt the balance, but it's just annoying enough to prep a new thread on my phone that I haven't yet had the gumption.

And if you want to take the argument a step further, I'm not convinced that we need lightly-trafficked threads for Spider-Man, the X-men, Superman, etc. plus moderately-trafficked (in a good week) threads for general Marvel and DC. We're terrible at staying on-topic in those threads anyway: witness the long derail in the X-men thread about Superman and the Fantastic Four. If they're all going to be effectively general threads, just fold all the Marvel and DC discussion into the general Marvel and DC threads for a few months. Let the pace of conversation step up within them. Wait until April or May before breaking out character/franchise megathreads again, if desired. (Not that it would be the end of the world if someone stumbled in and drunkposted a well-intentioned HOOFDOK, AIM'S PSYCHIC HORSE MEGATHREAD in that time; I'm thinking more of an informal understanding among BSS regulars, to refrain from posting such.) e: So like a MARVEL GENERAL MAGNA-THREAD that catches the discussion of ongoings and random chatter, alongside a Let's Read Walt Simonson's Thor thread, an Apocalypse - The Twelve thread, and a Panel-by-Panel Fumetti Remake of Every Issue of Dick Rider Nova vol. 2 Using Heroclix Hot Glued to Rhyno's Ceiling While He's Sleeping thread.

The first appearance of Egg Fu is one of the weirdest comics ever, and I think Egg Fu is maybe only the third weirdest thing in it.

52'S EGG-FU: A BRIEF ASSESSMENT Good: MODOK with the creepy↔comedic slider centered Bad: Difficult to write without slipping into actual comedy or grim, bloody overcompensation Ugly: Impossible not to make him at least a little bit racist—just completely impossible Conclusion: It's best that you go away, my ovoid friend. I'll never forget you.

When her hair is short, my sister looks exactly like Squirrel Girl's new look. I've always wanted to get the latest series for her, but it's got so many superhero in jokes, I'm not sure it's very accessible.

I hate the months-long process of unpacking from a move. Pretty sure I got a mild not-hospital-worthy-but-enjoy-headaches-and-intermittent-nausea-for-days concussion when, while unpacking today, I slammed my head into a goddamn cabinet door made in whatever period of history it was when people thought it  to make built-in cabinetry from the heaviest, hardest goddamn wood they could grab.Since you've been kind enough to read my bitching above, here as compensation is a picture of Grizzly Atoms (lower right) & friends:
