No parenting talk.
So who is excited for the upcoming Preacher TV adaptation?
-
My six yr old plays Mine Craft all the time. Should I be worried? What do y'all think of that game?
-
If I see someone who looks nerdy, should I punch them?
-
How does one look nerdy? Comic book t shirt?
I don't know anything about MineCraft other than what was in the South Park episode.
-

Favorite comics of all time:
Hate
Eightball
Optic Nerve
My New York Diary.
-
i just heard about this thing called, nerdcore.
-
Nerdcore is dead. I was a fan and part of the community from around 2004 to about 2011.
-
damn.
-
what it your favorite comic series of all time?
Classic GI Joe, Sandman, first Image books...
-
damn.
There are still people who self identify their music as nerdcore, but most of the bigger players have moved on and just call their music hip hop.
If you are interested in the genre i can give you info on who is actually good.
-
i used to love collecting the series, ghost in the shell stand alone complex. i think i have every special edition version made. god they take up so much space. i have somehow grown out of my nerddom, such as i have grown out of skateboarding. i dont collect stuff anymore, i dont really watch anime the way i used to, i cant even tell you the last time i read a comic book, and lastly, i find most, if not all, video games, to be boring and just recycled stuff over and over again. i dont even watch the sci fi channel anymore and even though the idea of a 'con' is uber exciting, i bet i wouldnt pay for a fucking thing.
-
Let's talk about ghost folk.

I read Sandman but I don't think it is all that great. I did like the first "Death" series. Second one not as much.
Also, should we discuss slacks in this thread or the old one.
-
I personally love Sandman and everything Neil has written so far.
Ghost Folk is a genre but I do not think that many artists are creating music in it. Mainly I listen to Ellah A Thaun, the same person from the YouTube thread where I first mentioned the genre.
Walks you outgrew anime? Too bad, there are some really good series being made at this time...
-
My six yr old plays Mine Craft all the time. Should I be worried? What do y'all think of that game?
Minecraft is yesterday. She needs Flappy Bird.
-
Speaking of video games, anyone else excited for Elder Scrolls Online? I have been part of the beta test, and love it so far. I plan on getting it for PS4, but need to buy a PS4 first...
-
My six yr old plays Mine Craft all the time. Should I be worried? What do y'all think of that game?
Children under 8 who regularly play video games show an increase in depression and anxiety, a decreased ability to separate fantasy from reality, reduced concentration skills, and exhibit poor academic performance. Only lazy, crappy parents let their kids play video games.
-

my son loves this game. we don't let him play during the week anymore. weekends only and just make sure he's not cracking out on it too hard.
He got a kindle fire for xmas and you can lock down the parental controls hard. Ie, only x amount of video game time on weekdays, or none at all, x hours on weekend, totally locks after 8 on weeknights, etc.
I'm not really a fan but there are worse games i suppose
Keeping track of/limiting screen time is a high priority in our house. And very very unpopular.

When I had foster kids the boys under 11 really didn't like to play video games. I would limit the older kids to 1/2 hour a day during the week and 1 hour a day during the weekend. Similar rules for girls and the Internet. Kids need to interact not stay in front of a tv screen all day.
-
i was a big comic nerd in high school. from what i remember, my fav series were: Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, The Weird (mini-series), Crisis on Infinite Earths, Secret Wars I & II, X-Men. lots of others that i'm forgetting right now...
walkies: you get bonus points for naming Alpha Flight, loved that one too ;D
-
i have this horrifying image that if i were to dress up as something nerdy that i worship for this con i planning on going to in april . . . that it would come off as cheesily craptastic like something a blind three year old put together. like this

I plan on cosplaying as a member of a Stargate team if I ever go to a con...
Today I hit up Third Eye in Annapolis to pick up Hellblazer volume 2. I loved part one, and don't know why I didn't read this series a lot sooner. It is definitely my type of comic (weird/funny/well written/mature themed/horror/on Vertigo)...
-
i dont know why . . . but i worship the movie star gate but hated the series.
-
That is strange... I love both. I can't wait until it gets reborn... I loved sg1, Atlantis and universe... Of course the movie is classic.
-
Also, you must not worship Stargate if you spell it star gate.
I collect posters, and one of my favorites is one I have had since I was a teen - a Stargate poster from the original home video release (my cousin and I used to get mom and pop video stores in our area in the 90s to give us their extra posters; ones they didn't hang up or ones they took down and were going to throw away). I have some cool ones from this period; Pulp Fiction, Interview with a Vampire, Stargate, Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and a few others...
-
minecraft is great...kids love it
i have played the crap out of it on multiplayer servers....but haven't played in a few years
currently on a kick playing a game called Rust...which is like FPS Minecraft. have to build bases to survive, raid other bases to steal their supplies, etc
i just started reading the comic Saga and its pretty great
-
One of the guys at Third Eye suggested Saga to me... Maybe I will give it a look the next time I go there.
-
I have a mid 30's neighbor who has a comic book and star wars shrine in his living room, lolz.
he also flies a Los Angeles Kings flag from his house and he tried to paint his entire house by hand, it's been an ongoing project for about two years now.
I thank him for devaluing my home.
-
I bought a sketch from White Suits upcoming issue #2 at Third Eye Comics this morning (only $10!) at a creator signing. I also bought the first issue and had it signed by both the artist and writer. Its supposed to be the best fiction about the Russian mob/underworld since Eastern Promises.

Not everything is awesome.
Thoughts on the casting decision to make Johnny Storm black? I personally think it is great. I like the fact that an adaptation of a property into another medium sometimes means change from the source material. I love the Dune books and Dune movie; I didnt cry because the Weirding Way was now a sound attack and not a form of martial arts. Why? Because it is art. It isn't about copying. It is about adaptation and making it their own.
"But now Sue and the Human Torch cant be brother and sister?"
Why? One cant be adopted? Both cant be adopted? Raised in a circus? Or whatever the writers/director/producer etc had in mind?
Or what would Stan Lee think? I think he would approve of the casting.

so why did you use the speculative past tense?

is it just me . . . or are videogames here lately, losing their luster? i think they peaked in popularity and quailty in 2012.
-
No. A brand new generation of systems just launched. The last gen might have peaked in 2012, but video games as a whole did not.
-
yeah, maybe youre right. i was not factoring into the whole, i havent even touched or seen xbox1 or ps4 to realize what they can do. hell . . . im still loving me some bioshock infinite / borderlands 2 / final fantasy 13 / and trying to fucking solve that damn fez.
-

The lastest Grand Theft Auto was awful. I haven't really played video games lately. I did like "You Don't know Jack" a couple years back. Seems most of the games are stupid war or first person shooter video games.

Whenever an adult tells me they read super hero comics I get the urge to punch them and steal their lunch money. Is that normal?
-
Why would you want to punch someone for liking something that you don't?
Speaking of comics, I wanted something in the fantasy realm and bought the first trade paperback of Saga yesterday. Has anyone read it and if so, thoughts?
-

Because they are grown men reading super hero comics. I don't know why it happens it just does.

OK, but why does that matter?

OK, but why does that matter?
So you are saying I should just go with my feelings and punch them?
Or are you are saying why does it bother me that they are reading comics?
-
No - why does it matter to you that adults enjoy comic books?
There isn't an age where a fan of anything needs to stop being a fan simply because of their age.
Is rock and roll for the teenagers? Do us adults need to listen to soft rock after we are old enough to drink?
Should parents cover their ears while their kids watch Spongebob and not crack a smile because its a kids show?
What are your thoughts on horror movies? Too violent and should be for the kids?
what about comic books that are created for adults, with the proper age rating? Should kids read those, or are they fine?
What is your opinion on SciFi TV Shows like Battlestar Galactica? Should adult fans get punched?
Why dont we just punch everyone doing something we dont like?
-
What about the Walking Dead? is it ok to be an adult fan of the tv series, since it is on AMC; but not the comic book or video games?
-
Is it ok for me to like Game of Thrones? Books, comic books, board games, video games, toys, or the HBO show only?
-

It isn't comic books in general. In fact I have read "Eightball", "Optic Nerve" and "Hate" as an adult it is the Super Hero comics that seem to annoy me. Even people reading stuff like "Sandman" and "Johnny the Homicidal Mainiac" is fine with me.
And you are right it shouldn't bother me. It just does. I guess you are right though it is adults who never grow up and probably live with their parents thing who don't have proper hygeine. Probably if there were more normal people reading them it wouldn't bother me as much.
-

There is a Game of Thrones board game? I haven't watched the show. It has no appeal to me. But do what you think is best.
-
anybody play south park stick of truth? cur,e,ous about that one.
-
There are actually a few GoT board games. I only have two of them; Battles of Westeros (starter set) and the Game of Thrones Card game. There is also GoT the Board Game (it focuses on the whole map of the continent and not just single battles.
As for what is best, it depends. The show is good, but they change things and leave out a bit of content. The books are king. The comic adaptations are pretty close to the books.
-
Walkie i was going to buy that the other day but my 360 crapped out on me. I have only heard great things.
-
I have two Playstation 3s. I thought one was broken and bought another but I had it attached to my audio system and I guess the video out was bad. Hooked up the hdmi directly to the tv and it worked.
I always thought Apple was overpriced but I just got an iPad Air and really like it. Then I bought Apple TV. Now I want an iMac. I am such a consumer.
-
the South Park game is pretty awesome. Tons of jokes and references to obscure things in the show. If anyone is easily offended they should stay really far away from it though!

no matter how old he is, you're probably old enough to be his grandpa or great uncle.

I was asking because my girlfriends little brother is only 15 and we were tasked with keeping him entertained for a bit that Saturday since his parents were out of town all weekend. We ended up jut ordering pizza and watching tv.

How much younger is a good amount?
As for the nerd question, how nerdy? Like homemade cosplay LARP nerdy? Or otaku? Or tabletop gamer? Wears glasses? Reads a lot of books? Likes video games?

I have no idea what LARP or Otaku is. Is tabletop gamer like Yahtzee and Trivial Pursuit?
Yes must have glasses. Reading books yes. Video games no, that is too extreme.
-
I guess I am dating a nerd. She wears glasses, likes to read, loves fantasy/sci fi, and plays RPGs.
LARP - Live Action Role Playing
Otaku - Basically an anime nerd, though its a bit more complex than that
Tabletop gaming does include board games, but in the nerd world usually refers to the RPG type of board games.
-

Once again, I was not there.
Also its killsaly. Not Killsally. Somewhere there is a thread that explains the origin of that name.

"LARP - Live Action Role Playing" - WHat does that mean? RPG = Role playing game? is that like dungeons and dragons?

From wiki:
A live action role-playing game (LARP) is a form of role-playing game where the participants physically act out their characters' actions. The players pursue goals within a fictional setting represented by the real world while interacting with each other in character. The outcome of player actions may be mediated by game rules or determined by consensus among players. Event arrangers called gamemasters decide the setting and rules to be used and facilitate play.
The first LARPs were run in the late 1970s, inspired by tabletop role-playing games and genre fiction. The activity spread internationally during the 1980s and has diversified into a wide variety of styles. Play may be very game-like or may be more concerned with dramatic or artistic expression. Events can also be designed to achieve educational or political goals. The fictional genres used vary greatly, from realistic modern or historical settings to fantastic or futuristic eras. Production values are sometimes minimal, but can involve elaborate venues and costumes. LARPs range in size from small private events lasting a few hours to large public events with thousands of players lasting for days.

Wrestlemania III and game of thrones returning? I literally just checked into this thread to watch you guys all tuckered out, kicking your legs up involuntarily as you snooze, snoring away in dreamland!
You all look do adorable, lying there along with your dungeon master's guides under your pillows! I just want to pinch your borderline morbidly obese cheeks!
-
What's that? No, no, go back to sleep! Keep dreaming about sweet, sweet future Marvel comic book movie tie-ins.
-
Try 30, not 3. Wrestlemania 3 was in the 80s.
Also Game of Thrones is amazing.
Also, baseball is the most boring shit in the world. You are probably extremely boring in person. Why don't you stick to threads you can contribute something to and not troll? You don't see me going into the baseball thread and talking about how big of losers you all are for arguing about players salaries and playing fantasy GM.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! You greatly misinterpreted my intentions! You can note I don't post/crap in this thread. I legitimately, came here to congratulate you guys on having a fun night that I knew was good for you, despite the fact that I don't, personally care about this subject. my jocularity, I can admit, may have been mistaken, but I hope you will look at by fine record of NOT shitting in threads don't care about.
I'm glad you guys had a Halcyon night! Terrific for you, despite my indifference.
Also, as a sidenote, baseball is probably one of my least interested sports. feel free to continue throwing barbs baseballs way, but it's not personal to be insulting to me.

hexenjagd has zero sense of humor or ability to detect sarcasm.
great music taste, very genuine, but i'm always at a complete loss when it comes to the hissy fit he throws every time someone says something in jest that he doesn't agree with.
you can't please everyone, julian. btw, how's the 'julian for mod' t-shirt production coming along? i'm more of a v-neck kind of guy, but i trust your team's judgement in this matter.
now, back to game of thrones...
-
You must have already forgotten about the other bullshit you've posted.
-
Maybe you think he's funny, but he usually sounds like an arrogant bully.
-
and in defense of baseball: you literally have the world at your fingertips at any given moment in the day. baseball is a true constant throughout my life; it's slow, it's technical, it lasts 2/3 of the year, it's stat-oriented, and when it's good, it's great. it's a harsh extrapolation to say that since something is boring, then it's fans or followers must be boring as well. i'm fascinated by the game, but could understand others ambivalence.
-

i guess julian has my kind of humor. often misunderstood, but it always seems well intentioned IMO.

Baseball is fun in person when you have a big beer and there is a large crowd that is into the game. Boring on TV. Killsally probably doesn't enjoy baseball because he doesn't drink beer.
-
I never said I do not drink beer. I will drink beer. But I usually don't. And I especially usually do not get drunk. What I said was, that alcohol is not healthy like you were saying it was.

Should be Wrestlemania be listed in this category? I didn't think it was a geek thing.. I thought it was a boy under 13 thing. Do adults watch professional wrestling? Oh did you hear about that woman in PA. She was watching Wrestlemania at a bar with friends. Went into the bathroom delivered her baby, strangled it, threw it in the toilet and then went back to watching wrestlemania. Why didn't she just leave the baby in the bathroom? Why did she have to kill the baby?
-
Killsally are you 12? I ask because you like Professional Wrestling, Comic books, Dressing up like comic book characters, you don't like to drink, never want to have kids, and you asked if a venue was all ages.
-
Fuck off.
-
When did I say I dressed up as anything?

I hope you like talk about Ween.

Try 30, not 3. Wrestlemania 3 was in the 80s.
Also Game of Thrones is amazing.
Also, baseball is the most boring shit in the world. You are probably extremely boring in person. Why don't you stick to threads you can contribute something to and not troll?

shit, give a brother a warning before a story like this. i came here for the nerdy topics, not the horror stories.
but to answer your question: yeah, adults watch it. it's kind of seeing a resurgence in the older market. i've got a bunch of successful friends (lawyers, engineers, etc) who recently got back into it.

You saidyou did live action role playing. Which I thought sounded cool like you play the UPS man and your female plays the lonely house wife but it turns out it is where you dress up in costumes and do mock battles like the movie Role Models.

I feel like we have a Killsally intervention. Ever since you changed your name to Hexenjagd you have become angry. I can only assume that Hexenjagd is some sort of satanic name or has something to do with Scientology but lets change this. I want you to listen to some ABBA right now and turn that frown upside down.

I'm not frowning. I am on a road trip back from New Orleans with some of my friends. It was an amazing time.

When I read this I thought Killsally isn't as immature as I thought he was. He was in Orleans at a bachelor party setting the town on fire. I was actually envious. Then I found out he was at Wrestlemania.
-
Yep. We hung out in NOLA Thursday after four of us drove from here. Friday was more New Orleans sights/food and ended with us going to indie wrestling promotion Ring of Honor's Supercard of Honor Pay Per View. Saturday we went to Wrestlecon all day and then went to Bourbon Street and got drunk. Sunday we went to Wrestlemania, and say what you want, it was quite the spectacle. Being in the company of 76000 passionate people was quite the experience. Especially after Undertakers Wrestlemania winning streak of 21 matches came to an end. Being around that many people who instantly go silent was something I will never forget. We then had some drinks back at the hotel. Monday we explored the French Quarter, attended a Monday Night Raw, which in my opinion is the best Raw they have produced since I started watching their programming again back in 2011, and drove back to Maryland. I was up for 33 hours before I crashed last night. It was a fun time, and I really don't care if you want to be a hater or not. I don't see why any of you would care about what I enjoy doing with some of my free time. I am also passionate about horror movies, science fiction, comic books, manga, anime, cartoons in general, and really don't give a fuck what you think of any of those things. I don't get why some of you (joking or not) think that anyone else interests deserve mocking. Were you all bullies in high school? I really don't care what bs you want to spew.

I hope you at least root for the bad guys.

It depends on the wrestler. In general I cheer for the heels (bad guys). I do like some of the faces though (the fan favorites), it just depends on their skill and charisma.
-
Wasn't your posting of "Ween" in all my threads a bullying tactic. Weren't you doing because I didn't like the exact same things as you? A bunch of you and your misfit friends ganging up on me? How much more of a bullying attempt can you make?
But back on topic: We are different ages. If I were 12 I probably would be all into that Wrestlemania stuff. Probably not comics as I outgrew them by 12.

im only a casual wwe fan anymore (i mostly just skim through raw results and catch a full match here and there) but the atmosphere of wrestlemania seems like itd be a hell of a good time, especially on a night where the streak ends and bryan finally won

RE: Constantine
Hopefully Hellblazer is adapted better this time around. The Keanu movie didnt do it any justice.
Also, being on NBC, I doubt they can do some of the messed up aspects of the series justice. For example, the first story arc of Hellblazer featured Constantine strapping a heroin junkie (who he kept in prison without junk for a few days) into an electric chair so that a hunger demon could consume him, at which point a binding spell was cast.

I hope this is better than the movie.
The character was last seen on the big screen in 2003, when Ben Affleck donned Matt Murdock?s signature red horns. ?Daredevil? is one of four Marvel properties set to headline serialized solo series set in and around Hell?s Kitchen, New York, along with ?Jessica Jones,? ?Iron Fist? and ?Luke Cage.? The quartet will then band together in a Netflix miniseries event titled ?The Defenders.? The initial order for ?Daredevil? is 13 episodes.

what was your opinion of what jj did to the star trek franchise? most trek nerds agree that the first one was goodish, while the second one sucked major eugenic war cock. i think abrams can be hit or miss when it comes to projects, and though i know anything will be better than the phantom menance or the clone wars, whos to say he can actually deliver something that is not just a slicked over rehashed turd. it already appears hes going towards the tatooine side.

to me, that's meaningless. it's like people getting all excited about someone using a vintage 60's 4-track tape machine to record an album, or getting wowed by someone who builds his own synths... who cares. if the output is crap, who cares what tools were used. the prequels wouldn't have sucked any less if they used puppets instead of CGI.

I look forward to what JJ can do. I personally like the reboot of the Star Trek universe and most of what he did so far in his career. I think the Star Wars franchise is in good hands.
(also, i am not a big Star Trek fan, or Trekkie. I dig the series/universe, but I always liked Star Wars more)

Holy shit. I have to go to this! I loved Court Of Owls. Didn't he also do the Death Of The Family arc?

Yes! Go! (he did that story arc as well)
I live 15 minutes from the store so I will definitely be there!

That's so sick. I need to get back into the New 52. The ending of DOTF just left a bad taste in my mouth. Especially leading into Requiem like WTF. Such a waste. I didn't realize that Harley got her own book as well. SHEESH.

I haven't read the Harley series yet, but my friend collects them and loves it. One of these days I will borrow them and check the series out.
-
I'm a Joker mark, so naturally I love her. I read a few of the "Sirens" series and some of the old "Harley Quinn" books. Those are funny because Joker is like a greaser...shitty...weird looking ex boyfriend type. Needless to say I didn't read many. I liked her in and out of the Batman stuff though.

I do dig Batman, but am probably way less of a fan than you are DFA.
My Batman fandom:
Court of Owls (so far, will read more of the new 52 books later)
Batman the Animated Series
The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller
Batman movies with Keaton
Batman comic arc with Bane and Azrael
I still have not seen the third Nolan Batman movie (one of these days)... But that is not against Batman or the film reboots... I dont watch many superhero movies (too many horror and sci-fi movies to watch). I have yet to see Avengers or Captain America 2 or Thor 2 or Iron man 2 or 3, or any of the new Spiderman movies or Guardians of the Galaxy or the newest X Men movie (or X3) and probably more that I missed.
The comics I liked when I was younger were stuff like X Men, Vertigo books, Image books.
-
That Bane arc with Azrael is Knightfall. If you're looking to get into a good one, Hush is like.... probably my favorite Batman book outside of Killing Joke and Dark Knight Returns. Dark Knight Returns was the first Batman book I had as a kid.
If you're into exploring more of course. My bud and I are into all of it. The animated movies, the series [duh] even the newer series The Batman. Any Batman is good Batman. Unless it sucks. Like Batman: The Brave & The Bold I think? That's straight up made for little kids.
I'm surprised you didn't see Dark Knight Rises since that Knightfall arc is what that movie is loosely based on. Plus Bane is badass in the movie. I like TDK better, but Rises is still amazing.
As for the Marvel movies I haven't seen any of the sequels outside of the Iron Man ones. Guardians was probably the best movie of the summer. Super fun, action packed, hilarious and not too long, or too short. As for Spiderman I haven't cared about that since Raimi's Spider Man 2. I have also not seen any of the other Marvel sequels... which is weird because I enjoyed all the first parts...
-
My friend actually bought Hush a few months back and I plan on borrowing it one of these days...
I dont know why I havent watched the last Batman movie... One day!
Also, I need to pick up a TPB of Knightfall and relive some of my childhood...
-
The Constantine premier was awesome!
Watch it if you are a fan of the comics (the series is a lot closer to the comics than the Keanu movie was), or good TV in general.
-
I read Knightfall before Rises came out. The parallels are awesome. Even some of the frames are taken right out of the series. I'd suggest looking into that before seeing the final installment.
We also ran through the trilogy in one night a few months ago and the continuity in all 3 is pretty astounding. Very stoked to see Interstellar next week!
-
I read Knightfall back when it was released, but need to read it again; it has been 20 years.
-
Interstellar looks like one I might want to see at the IMAX3D theater near my house... It would be a great date night!
(I tend to not go to the movies that much... The last two movies I saw at the theater were the last Superman and Pacific Rim. Before that... I dont remember, maybe Episode III)
-
I think the last one I saw in theatres was Sin City 2.... Before that it was Guardians.... I think those are the only 2 movies I've seen in theatres this year.
I love Nolan, so I'm definitely going to see that opening day. Hopefully they do the secret early screenings. Some theatres that offer "midnight screenings" are now offering just plain early screenings, for those who have to work Friday and don't want to go at midnight. That's how I saw Super 8. We went to buy our midnight screening tickets and they had like 3 showings between 8 and midnight so we went right at 8. It's become more common, but they aren't advertised.

http://www.polygon.com/2014/11/7/7172827/destiny-swatting
I really wish these fucking pieces of shit gamers would stop with the swatting bullshit. This time they hit one of the developers of Destiny.
If you don't know, swatting is where a person calls 911 and tells them there is either a hostage situation or explosives... Of course the Swat team never VERIFIES the call and sends over a team of gun-happy suited-up officers to neutralize the threat.
I don't know why the developer was targeted. You would think they would leave alone someone who (I am assuming it is gamers, they are the ones who usually do it) creates what they fucking spend all their time playing.
Usually they do this to people on Twitch (because of this shit I will never use Twitch) a streaming video service where you can watch someone play video games.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju6KZHLVOO8
^ Good Morning America clip about one incident
-
I'm stunned no one has been killed by accident during one of those yet. I've watched videos of those and one bizarre reaction from the person getting swatted and they're going to catch a bullet from a terrified SWAT team member. This is a practical joke about as much as setting someone's house on fire is.
-
I agree - not a practical joke and not a prank... What happens when someone dies because of this?
-
It seems like something from 4Chan. They also do the "Battletoads" prank or delivering a bunch of pizzas to the same house or something. "Anon" usually has a fucked up sense of humor or retribution.

I really don't get why people are still crazy about Walking Dead. I'm in the same boat that I lost all interest like 2 or 3 seasons ago. How is that the highest rated show on TV. I just don't understand.

I am on season 4 of Walking Dead (after a break for a year) and love it!
I plan on reading the whole comic series this winter (my best friend has the compendiums and the last few TPBs).
As for Michonne, she is cool and all (probably the most bad ass character on the show); BUT, it is Rick's story. He is the main character. Everyone else is supporting cast...

I just really was not a fan of Rick. He reminded me of Jack from Lost. I just never liked him and there was nothing to connect me to that character. I dunno. I don't care enough to get back into it.
The last show people told me "Got really good again!" was Dexter and when I got back into it, it was the same flaming dumpster fire as when I had left.

Was just reading this. I'm curious to see the big screen version of the SS Harley Quinn. She's like uber sexualized in it. I hope they show more acrobatics than they did of Catwoman in Nolan's Batman. Which was practically nothing lol.
I'm ready for a new Joker interpretation. A lot of places are asking if it's too soon. I say more Batman and Joker.

they make a comic book out of bobs burgers? i tried that show . . . my partner and i looked at each other half way through the first episode and said what a horrible piece of animated crap. nice drawings killsaly, and boy i remember when i would go into local comic book shoppees and purchase fine comics in specific bags and backboards. the people in there who must of spent their every free time in the place were better than the books.
-
I know so many people who love Bob's Burgers. I decided to give it a shot. I've been told "stick with it, it gets really good." I'm about 6 or 7 episodes in. It's funny. Something is missing for me though. Maybe the voices are too obnoxious? I don't know what it is. I tell you what though, it's a very welcome change from the Seth Mcfarlane Fox Block.
Still think [adult swim] does the best animation. Rick & Morty is gold.
-
Bob's Burgers rules. It is probably the best cartoon on TV at the moment.
Also, Third Eye Comics sells unbagged comics - I have to bag and board them when I get home.
Lastly, yes, the people are fun to watch at the comic shop, including the employees.

that's pretty common. most places will charge you a quarter or so for a bag/board. or else they only do it for those with subs. besides, you buy comics to read them and enjoy them. not preserve them, right?
-
My friend gave me shit because I had all my Batman comics in a stack. I have maybe 2 or 3 in a bag. I like to keep them authentic. Lol.
-
i have forgotten about my stored comics. it is a shame, because they just sit in Rubbermaid containers and never become exposed to light of freedom or the fresh air of the past. like an animal in a cage at a zoo in a town in the middle of nowhere.

I buy bags and boards by the 100. They are a bit less than a quarter apiece.
I buy comics for my fiance to read; I also buy comics for myself to read. I also buy comics to collect.
The TPBs/graphic novels are lined up in order on one of my bookshelves. The single issues are all in this comic storage box/crate thing.
My manga are all lined up on a few selves.

Just finished Attack On Titan [season 1] over the weekend. Anyone into that? Or any other anime? I was hooked from the beginning. I randomly caught an episode my gf was watching and she explained the premise so I looked it up and started. Intense show. Season 1 aired from 2011-2012? I think? How the hell is season 2 not coming out til 2016? This is like Venture Brothers levels of torture between seasons.
-
I watch anime/read manga. I have yet to read or watch Attack on Titan though. It is on my list... I really want the omnibus (maybe I put it on my Christmas list)...

Whoa, I might have to grab that. I heard the books are still going though? Or is the whole series finished? And how exactly can Titan and Marvel cross?

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/06/new-details-emerge-for-marvels-attack-on-titan-crossover
The story is apparently in the vein of Marvel's What If? comics, basically posing the question, "What if Spider-Man and the Avengers battled a 46-foot-tall Titan in the streets of New York?" Whether any of the heroes from the Attack on Titan universe appear to aid Earth's Mightiest Heroes remains to be seen.
It's not clear if Isayama is actually writing and drawing this crossover story. We do know that he drew the cover for Brutus #790 and will be providing commentary on the story within the issue.
This is certainly one of Marvel's more interesting attempts to cater to international audiences with their iconic superheroes. There's no word on an English translation/release yet, but given the popularity of Attack on Titan in the US, we imagine it's only a matter of time.
-
That omnibus is the first five volumes... I am not sure how long the series will end up being.

That's interesting... Considering there are shades of Spider-Man in Titan itself it's a pretty interesting take. The fact that they are actually humans is cooler than a guy with super human strength. Will be interesting to see how it's interpreted though!

I never understood why anyone couldn't like Salvation. I thought it was awesome. It was the movie I wanted since T2. I never understood why they wouldn't follow up with a fucking war movie against the machines. Genisys is probably going to be terrible. From the stills I've seen there isn't much to be excited about. BUT, I'll still be eagerly awaiting the trailer.
Ending the year with a bunch of mouth watering trailers. I like it.
-
I am not sure about the Salvation hate either... I just started seeing a lot of criticism about that movie and Bale in particular, during articles about the new one.
-
I thought Bale was an awesome John Connor. He's supposed to be the leader of the human revolution for christs sake. He has to be badass. I feel like people who don't like Salvation just hate Terminator.

Went to the WWE house show at the Patriot Center over the weekend. Have a friend at the box office who gave us 3rd row seats. Closest I've ever sat and I drank in every minute. Got solid reactions from Tyson Kidd [I kept chanting "NATTYS HUSBAND", so much so that the little girl a few seats down started chanting it as well] and Big Show super didn't appreciate me. I was a way better heel than he was.
Main event was Bray Wyatt [pop] vs Dean Ambrose [mega pop] in a street fight. They really went all out too, considering it was a house show and [apparently] a poorly attended one. Couple table spots, stairs were throw all over, multiple chair shots, kendo stick shots, they fought up and down the ramp. It was super fun. Matches of the night were definitely the main event, Alex Riley vs Tyson Kidd, and Usos vs Gold/Stardust.
Ultra heat for Rusev and Lana. Naturally I rooted them on.

If I remember correctly, is this Scott Snyder? When is this? I was interested but I busted my phone and lost all my calendar stuff :(
-
Yep, Mr Court of Owls himself. It is on January 17th, a Saturday. I will almost certainly be standing in line. If you decide to go, let me know, we can stand in line and nerd out together. :)

Also, I wrote a huge reply to your WWE post but decided not to post it - and now I wish I had.

Also, I think Rogue is a WWE/Wrestling fan as well. I thought this was a safe haven for things of that sort BUT no one replied haha. We can message about that. I've kind of fallen out of it because it's become so boring. But we can talk all day about NXT/ROH...
-
I am Rogue.
-
Also, ROH is my favorite company. NXT is my favorite WWE show.
So, we are probably on the same page with a lot of it. I quit watching in 1999, and started back in 2011.
Yeah the new stuff can be boring - but they do have to fill so many hours of content a week, and for an audience that is supposed to be children and adults, and to keep everyone happy - sometimes it can fall flat.
-
I stopped watching Raw/Smackdown/Main Event leading up to Survivor Series. My friend filled me in before the PPV [I still read recaps and what not] but I didn't miss much. Then tuned in the night after becuse Series was awesome. Then it sucked. I stopped watching about halfway through. Did the same thing leading up to TLC. They just have too many hours. ROH and NXT get so much done and have so many more fleshed out characters. They want to call up Adrian Nevelle and re-package. I don't care that much for him, but I can already see him being forgotten on the main roster.
As for ROH I saw the tag match and main event from Final Battle. ReDRagon are my FAVES! Also bummed out Adam Cole might be out for awhile, but I think The Kingdom is terrible. Them and The Decade... Glad Roddy got out... and Jimmy Jacobs is awesome. FUN FACT: Last night on Smackdown [caught a bit during Caps intermission] Jimmy Jacobs was in Adam Roses entourage hahaha
I stopped watching right around the time Stone Cold got hit by the car or whatever. Came back during CM Punks title reign. My friend said I had to watch because it was awesome and he walked out with the title and blah blah. So I did. It was fun. Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins are all awesome, but it just gets boring and frustrating. Especially now with the internet where you can read all these interviews and get backstage news. It's just insane how much better NXT is. All the feelings for Takover 3.
-

There's something perversely hilarious about that sentence.

"After Stone Cold got hit by that car, it all went to shit and became unbelievable" lol
I think at the time I was like... 13 or something? So I was getting into HS and other shit became cool or important. Like chicks and music and drugs. SWEET.

I do not watch the TV show for ROH usually (I always forget) but I do watch all their PPVs and iPPVs and try to go see them when they are in Baltimore or Philly (though I skipped the last two Baltimore shows, but still saw ROH live twice this year elsewhere). ROH live... It is a whole other beast. I love it. I was hooked since I first attended a show, in summer of 2012.
I noticed Jimmy Jacobs as well (he was on both Raw and Smackdown. He lives in Detroit). He is one of my favorites on their roster ever since he was in SCUM as Zombie Princess with my favorite (Kevin Steen).
Too bad he is too short and has too many issues in his past with drugs, to join WWE. But they would probably fuck him up and have him as a firefighter or something dumb.
-
I didn't steadily get into ROH until this year. I watched through the beginning of the year to familiarize myself and then we went to the Baltimore taping in the spring I believe. The main event was Elgin/Styles 2 for the #1 contendership. I think another match was Jimmy Jacobs vs Mark Briscoe? That and the ReDRagon match were matches of the night. For the life of me I cannot remember who ReDRagon fought. But it was awesome. Steen was also in a CHarm City Street Fight vs like.... Murder Inc or something? Havoc Inc...Mayhem. Something like that.
I missed the last one because it was either the house show for WWE or the ROH taping. I had to see Dean Ambrose vs Bray Wyatt haha. It did not disappoint.
-
"After Stone Cold got hit by that car, it all went to shit and became unbelievable" lol
Yeah, I wasn't making fun of you or it because I generally don't mock the nerd stuff when its kept to its own thread just on principle, but it just read like something out of The Onion.
-
We're on the same page. I'm 27 and watch pro wrestling. I get my share of licks from my friends lol.
But really, there's few places where its ok to get hammered drunk and be able to yell at children and not get in trouble. Good times.

I'm really enjoying the Saga comic series
-
I have the first three volumes (volume 4 came out today!) but have yet to read them. I bought them for my fiance based on a recommendation from Third Eye Comics, and she loves them.
I plan on reading them on a snow day.
-
I just finally broke down and got Marvel Unlimited. Excited.
-
Haven't really kept up with Batman but I was going through them at the comic book store and picked up a couple from this series called "End Game" and it appears he's fighting the Justice League. Which is fucking awesome.
Also picked up some of the Harley Quinn books. Just interested to see where they go with her here...

(oops almost forgot one pair of Marilyn Manson tickets)
-

Signed up for Amazon Prime just to get the 2 day shipping lol. Guaranteed to be here on Sunday!

And they didn't have the DVD I wanted

I was also surprised at how small of a selection they had a few weeks back when I went to the midnight Black Friday sale, since I usually do not shop there. They used to have a decent selection... I still do not see how they are still hanging on, with the internet competition. Maybe some people just like to shop inside a building with strangers instead of at home with family.
I am debating if I should wear my new Stardust shirt... Or my Brock one (bought for me at last year's Royal Rumble and only worn twice), to Raw.
-
I have 2 WWE shirts: CM Punk's 2nd City Saint shirt from his last Mania and an Austin 3:16 shirt. My friend hates it, but we troll her and say "CM Punk abandoned us! He abandoned The Universe!" so I refuse to wear it because he's a cry baby. And I don't wear my Austin one because... I feel like it's reaching. BUT! Dean Ambrose has been wearing his new gray on black DA logo shirt and I'll totally buy that tonight if they have it.
As for Best Buy I called the other ones in the area and they also said they don't have it. It seems they only have new release movies and shows that have like 10 seasons on DVD. They are also selling DVDs for 2 bucks. Maybe it was for Black Friday but I can't even remember the last time I bought a DVD.

@ killsaly: the only other shit I've wanted was a ReDRagon shirt and this new Ambrose. Also, semi spoiler for tonight, there's a house show in Richmond so we're not getting Reigns/Ambrose/Wyatt/Usos/Dusts and some others... Should be getting Rollins, Ziggler, Lesnar though...
-
Yeah..... Sucks about the house show tonight (and tomorrow during SmackDown taping) but at least it gives everyone a few days off (no WWE shows listed until next Monday after tomorrow).
I knew about Dust bros and Usos... Are you sure about Reigns/Ambrose/Wyatt? They are all pretty integral to Raw. I dont see why they would be on a house show today.
I do not have a reDragon shirt... But I did get 8x10 signed by them at Supercard.
-
I just read, all of that wrassling talk.

It was on a report I read from earlier, but they could do what they did with The Shield last year and fly them in a helicopter to close the show or something. Ambrose/Wyatt is listed as the main event for the house show.

2nd row was awesome. We were right next to the "time keepers" area or whatever. We were about 3 seats down from where Lilian Garcia always sits. She looked over at one point and we smiled and waved, she smiled back and waved. Ryan Kerrigan was sitting a few rows behind us and after, as we waited to get up the stairs, he stopped and took a picture with my friend. Seems like a nice guy! The show was fun and sitting that close was kind of surreal after watching it for so many years. There was some super fucking trolls a couple rows behing us that booed the shit out of EVERY babyface that came down. Then they complained that everyone around them was on their cell phones [via obnoxious chant], THEN they complained that matches were boring and whenever there was down time [commercial or something] they would just keep chanting "COLE YOU SUCK" or "JBL YOU SUCK". It got into the 2nd hour and the security guards in front of us eventually escorted them out.
The only down side to sitting that close is that there's so much tech crew running around during the show and security stands almost constantly so you kind of have to look around them. Then when you stand to take a picture they tell you to sit. And they run to almost anyone who holds their camera up for more than 5 seconds and yell "NO RECORDING". I got off a couple snapchats though and told him I was taking a panoramic picture lol. Best part was Daniel Bryan! I'll post a couple pictures later.

Sounds fun!
We (my friend who I was at Raw with) are planning on going to Philly for the Royal Rumble in a few weeks. I also will probably go to that March 3rd SmackDown they were advertising (he won't, he hates SmackDown). I will also go to the Payback PPV in Baltimore after Wrestlemania and Summerslam at Izod in NY...
I am definitely down to hang at one of these (or carpool) if you want to go to any of them. It is usually myself and that friend, and we also have a few other people in the Philly, NY, and DC areas that we go to shows with. I will also go to any ROH show in Philly, Baltimore, or Virginia this year.
Here is to an awesome 2015!

Scarlett Johansson is set to star in the live action remake of Ghost in the Shell. OK, I suppose she might be able to pull the role off. I am imagining lots of green screen action.

I was debating Payback in Baltimore as well. I'll have to look at tickets. As for Smackdown, I usually pass on those. Ever since they swapped head writers with NXT is hasn't been as good.. odd.

The Fantastic Four Trailer Is Here, And It's Not At All What We Expected
http://io9.com/the-fantastic-four-trailer-is-here-and-its-not-at-all-1682005509
-
Can I say, that looks awesome? Can I?
I really hate, awesome looking trailers; you know what that means.
-
Super confused by the F4 trailer. Did it just say "X-Men: Days Of Future Past" or did it have something else on the screen? Like... "From the director of..." I watched it on my phone.
Outside of that it looks like a Nolan or Abrams teaser trailer. Which isn't to say it's bad at all. I want more though. Anything is an upgrade from those other 2 shit storms.

I agree with Flash and the Arrow
but I grew up reading Frank Miller's DD and it changed everything for me
I think they are going to do it well. Murdock was a very complex guy and when Ben Afleck did it...it was horrible and one dimensional
anyone seen 12 Monkeys on Syfy yet?

I liked that movie enough to watch the show, but I still haven't gotten around to catch it.

We should fix that.
1. Constantine got cancelled. I hope it finds a new home.
2. People getting mad at the new Joker with tattoos.
3. I love Saga. I read a good chunk of it while at Massanutten during the blizzard in February (the first three TPBs, I am saving the 4th one for my summer beach trip, along with some other books).
4. Game of Thrones still rules.
5. I love my PS4 but all I do on it is play Dragon Age and watch WWE Network.
6. So many wrestling events coming up... I have tickets to go to Philly for a New Japan/Ring of Honor show next week, WWE Payback in Baltimore, and also the July Ring of Honor PPV that will be in Baltimore, Death Before Dishonor XIII.
7. To answer the 12 Monkeys question, I watched it. I loved it. I feel that the whole season was pretty strong. I also really like the shows Helix (wow how different were the two seasons?) and the Strain (season 2 coming this summer!!!).
8. Speaking of Constantine, I think the old series (I only have the first three trades so far) will be the next series that I collect.
9. Fight Club 2 comic book comes soon!!!!!! If I ever go to another Chuck P signing, I would get that signed.
-
Joker with tattoos = interesting concept. I like the Suicide Squad book and I like "Attack On Arkham" and I think the movie can only be fun. The Joker has already been commercialized and turned into a Hot Topic icon like Jack Skellington or something, so to see them just run with it isn't too surprising. If it makes him crazier or scarier I'm fine that that. I like that his gloves are purple surgical gloves.
I'm going to the NJPW/ROH show tomorrow too!! For my birthday! Nakamura and Bucks are doing the pre show autograph signing. I don't really care about autographs but those 2 are my absolute favorites so I feel like I have to. And I just saw the DBD tickets in Baltimore! Definitely going to that. So cool to see Baltimore get back to back nights for the PPV and tapings.
-
Awesome!
-
I'm salty because I waited to hear the NXT show announcements. Then the rumor going around was they weren't doing them in Philly. So I got tickets and took time off for the NJPW/ROH show and can't take more days off lol. Kind of bummed about NXT but still stoked. Plus Sami Zayn and Hideo Itami are not even wrestling.
-
I can type a real response now that it is lunchtime. I wish I could get there early tomorrow, but have to wait for a friend to get out of class, so we will be probably getting there right before or as it starts. I am not sure what seats we have, my friend got them for us. I bought Row 5 tickets for Death Before Dishonor. I cant do the TV taping the next day due to leaving for my annual Bethany Beach vacation.
I think I will be finally buying a Bullet Club t-shirt. I held off getting one from Prowrestlingtees.com so that I could get one at this event.

My friend wanted to do the NXT one... BUt I could not go to Philly that many times in a week.
Yeah, Sami is "injured."
-
At the last ROH taping they had BC shirts but they were [what I think] the lame ones. It says "Bone Soldier" an "It's reeeeeeeal" on it. I got the one off PWT. I actually wore it out yesterday lol. I wasn't thinking they'd have NJPW merch, but they have to, right?
I'm trying to get a group of friends to the DBD ppv. It's a Friday too so that's double awesome.
I heard Sami is "injured" because KO cuts a promo on him [during the tapings a few weeks ago] mentioning the injury. Not sure if it's a direct shot at his "shoulder injury" or something else. So we'll see. I guess this week since Takeover is next week. Either way Sami has to lose, right?
-
I bought four for DBD. For Payback this weekend, I bought six at once.
I would be down for a NJPW logo shirt, if they do not have a good Bullet Club one...
-
They'll probably have that same one and maybe the new "BC For Life" one. I like the one I got. Although I semi regret it because about half the people in the crowd had BC shirts on lol. It was between that and Nakamura. Figured those might be the most popular.

So many Bullet Club t-shirts last night... My friend grabbed one to join the club, but I decided to order one online (you can get American Apparel on Pro Wrestling tees, and I will do that) and assimilate later. I did grab an event shirt there (I think I have one from every WWE and ROH ppv that I have attended so far).
What did you think? I thought it was one of the best, if not the best, wrestling show that I have attended so far.
-
I agree! Best pro wrestling event I've been to by far. Kushida vs Roderick Strong set the bar so high. Crowd was on fire too. I thought the place would be bigger but it was cool to have an intimate setting and there was enough space to walk around. I saw Kushia and Moose before the show as well. Styles and Cole tore the house down. ReDRagon vs Tanahashi and Liger, Nakamura & Okada vs Brisoces, Bucks vs Addiction vs Kingdom, so many awesome matches. It's hard for me to get into a Monday Night Raw in DC and justify paying 40-100 bucks a ticket when shows like this are going on for 25 bucks. SO much fun. Caught some Okada bucks as well. lol

You mean like AAA and Lucha Underground? AAA just announced a Trios tournament using LU, AAA and ROH talent. I don't know where I could watch AAA and I caught the first few episodes of LU but admittedly stopped because I couldn't get into the over-movie-stylized backstage bits. But I've been told it's nothing short of amazing so I am slowly catching up.
EDIT: Just saw your LU post lol

Payback was a ton of fun. We had six seats (1 - 6 thankfully) in section 116. I plan on re-watching it to see if we show up (I already saw on screen capture, and it shows my head in my hands reaction to Stardust losing (yes I was the ONE Stardust fan... At least the only one wearing a Stardust shirt)).
I enjoyed all matches BUT:
Meta Powers could have been longer
Cena versus Rusev (couple cool spots but i am bored plus they made it all about Lana, (and i dont think Rusev and Lana should part ways)
Bray versus Ryback (can Ryback ever have a good match? I want to like him but...)
-
Payback was alright. Thought the main event was fun, but Cesaro/Kidd and New Day have stolen the show at the last 2 PPVs. Was upset their rematch was cut short and now they'll be lumped into the EC. Those guys can put on some insanely entertaining matches. I hope Cesaro and Kidd regain the titles at EC.
Caught night 1 of Global Wars. Bullet Club vs ROH All Stars was too much fun. Can't wait for the other nights to go up. Other highlights of night 1 were Kushida vs O'Reilly vs Sabin, RPG Vice vs Addiction vs Decade, Tana vs Elgin. Lots of fun.
-
I still need to watch War of the Worlds night 2 and both nights of Global Wars...
-
I think those 3 nights will be up on the ROH site by the end of the week. I'd check their Twitter feed. I saw GB night 1 on a streaming site. I can send that to you if you want.
-
Thanks! ;D I just need the time to watch them.
-
Stoked for NXT tonight. These specials always deliver.... something special. Lol. Although I don't think Sami will regain his title and it looks like this is leading to another extended break from him. I wasn't too bummed about missing NXT in Philly because him and Hideo weren't there plus I heard Owens didn't do much in the triple threat match. The rest of the card was actually kind of weak.
I wonder who could "fill in" for Hideo in the triple threat tonight.... hmm...

We started planning for a Wrestlemania 32 trip. My friend has an aunt who will let us stay at her place near the stadium for free. I am hoping to be able to get a plane ticket from another friend, and will only need to really spend money on Mania, Raw, Axxxess (one session), Ring of Honor Supercard of Honor, Wrestlecon (depends on the lineup and when their show will be), and Hall of Fame Ceremony tickets; food and drinks; and a t-shirt.
(view from my seat at 30)

I feel like you're still going to spend a lot of money lol. I've never been to a Mania. Only ever been to 1 PPV and that was Survivor Series way back in like 96 I think. Old Caps Center. Dang!

I didn't spend that much money at 30 (we drove there, did not fly that time). That trip cost me less than $1000 for everything (transportation, food, lodging, tickets, souvenirs, autographs, and alcohol).

Huh. I thought this would just be a "season premiere" ploy to get people to watch. It might still be, they aren't really specifying.... Weird. Ruining my childhood.
Although [as time has gone on] recent episodes show Homer and Marge in their 20s in college during the grunge era lol. Even though way back it clearly shows them both in high school during the 70s. Does anyone know what kind of ratings it still pulls? I stopped watching at about season 14 or so.
-
Oh, Homer and Marge will have a temporary problem in their relationship? There's a plotline they haven't used before. . .
-
They're making this seem like it's going to last all season though. They're problems are usually resolved within 22 minutes or so. This time it might take 24 times that!

For some reason a few of my friends wanted to play D&D for the first time. So Friday night we all went to my buds house and my bud got a starter pack. It was pretty fun. Don't really understand where the negative stigma comes from, although we only completed 2 missions in about 4 hours... There were also tons of smoke breaks, which didn't help. Maybe it's just because people spend so much time doing it? I guess also the fantasy element. Once you pick up on it, it's pretty easy to play... I guess that also falls on the "dungeon master" and it WAS just the beginner adventure. It's fun though! I was surprised. I was anti it before hand.

Are they anything like Mac Sabbath?

I wish there was a way to avoid all Star Wars information about the new movie...
(in reference to the recently released poster)

^^^ yeah, that thing was all over my Twitter feed and I don't really follow many movie feeds or anything like that. Did you catch the behind the scenes reel though? Where they talk about using practical effects and sets? Honestly sold me on the movie more than any of the trailers.

Anakin lightsaber, Anakin lightsaber

I did not see that, but have read online about their use of practical effects and sets for the film.

I don't think there is much to do with spoilers in the reel, but it's damn awesome. If you haven't caught it I suggest taking a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTNJ51ghzdY

Hell yea! I have seen other versions of that one. This one is my favorite;As the panda is holding the chair correctly to hit someone. THe image you posted, not so much... (you dont smash an open chair into someone like a savage)

yes - please, kind sir! have you no common decency?!? using an opened, as opposed to a closed, chair to hit someone... what is society coming to??? i say!
-
The point I was trying to eloquently and humorously make was, it is performance art and one that has certain methods to the madness, so the performers don't seriously hurt each other. That is why they always do chairshots a certain way. That is why they no longer do them to the head and always to the back (except some Indie promotions but those guys usually put their hand up unless they are insane). We could talk for hours about the art of the chairshot. The image Sidehatch posted, while funny on it's own, does not show what a chairshot actually looks like. It shows an bear smashing an open chair into another bear, instead of the picture I posted, which showed a bear giving a proper chairshot to another bear.

Speaking of wrestling! Is anyone going to see 'Good Ol' Jim Ross tonight at the DC Improv!?

I skipped JR... How was it? I do listen to his podcast every week. It (along with podcasts from Jericho, Stone Cold, Colt Cabana) help keep me entertained on my commute.
ROH Final Battle 2015 will be in Philly this December. I might go.
-
I didn't get tickets before it sold out and I was too lazy to ask my friend to get in. I heard he was great though.
Probably won't head to another show in Philly unless its NJPW or if they end up getting Mania. That would be awesome.
-
I have heard the Philly Mania rumors as well... I am definitely in for that.
-
Would be an insane weekend with NXT and the fan fest there.
-
Plus Ring of Honor And Wrestlecon!
-
Doesn't Chikara and PWG also do stuff for Mania weekend? Would be awesome to have all them in Philly at once.
-
Maybe sometimes. I do not think either ran shows when I was at 30.

I don't understand this thread. wrestling is neither, comic books, or a nerdy topic. nerds are not into wrestling. you don,t know that? that,s like saying, nascar is a nerdy topic. or horseshoes.

I don't understand this thread.
1. It is my thread.
2. Nerds don't like wrestling? You definitely have never been to an indie show.
3. Wrestling isn't nerdy? It is performance art... Is that cool all of a sudden?
edit: I was going to change the thread name so it would just be a vanity thread, but cant; Hexenjagd created the thread and is currently dead

oh, I forgot it was your thread. I,m not even sure what an indie show is. I was heavy into wrestling once, and fans of wrestling, would beat up nerds. you know, I do admit . . . this thread, makes me think about wrestling again, so high marks there. I didn,t want this to seem like an attack, but when I think nerdy topics, I think star trek, star wars, video games, comics, manga, computer programmers, cons, dressing up like my little pony with old men. oops, did I say that last one.

Got tickets to go see the Attack On Titan [live action] movie tomorrow night in Fairfax. I hadn't read any reviews for it, I just knew it looked semi corny from all the trailers. My sister hit me up saying that the reviews are all pretty much terrible. I looked into it and it's being panned pretty hard. All I know is I love the anime and manga and just want to see how they can translate those insane images to live action and the big screen. Either way I'm stoked!
-
That movie is getting horrible reviews BUT I still want to see it.
I also read that part 2 is pretty bad.

-
yes to that movie!!!!!!!! I don,t care if it sucks, I want to see. there is a film club at my local Alamo draft house, that plays them there fancy movies, and hopefully they will get it. I love movies with Japanese people flying all around, like some crouching tiger rip off shit.
-
Well it's playing tonight and tomorrow in Fairfax and it'll be the same 2 night deal on 10/20 10/21 for part 2. The Angelika theater is super nice. Shaking in my boots to see what these creepy ass titans look like on the big screen.
-
Attack On Titan: They switched up characters and took out a lot of characters and switched characters and took tons of liberties with the story. It was cool to see live action, but some parts do come off as insanely corny and campy. It was cool to see that universe come to life, but the CGI parts are almost way too CGI and it feels like you're watching parts of the show as opposed to a live action movie.

I am currently downloading Star Wars Battlefront Beta for PS4.

I still don't have a PS4 or Xbox 1. I went into Best Buy the other day and was debating buying one of them. I had an Xbox 360 after my PS2. I never really played PS3.... Can't remember why I was leaning towards the PS4.... Maybe one day. I think I can get a refurbished one at Game Stop for less than 200. It's pretty tempting. Or maybe I was drunk when I saw that.

I got a PS4 "for the kids" when it came out, but it largely went unused.
Until the release of....

Haven't gotten into a game so much in many years. My oldest son beats me roughly 67% of the time, but the games are stupidly furious and fun. It's also great and easy to play online matches.
-
My PS2 went largely unused and eventually just turned into a DVD player. When I got my Xbox 360 I played way more games. I want to get it to play games on, both of my Xbox 360's died awhile ago and I just never got around to getting a new console.

Y the Last Man TV series coming soon...
I have only read the first TPB so far, but I do have them all (my fiancée loves the series and has read them all this year after I got them).

I have this conversation with my wife and others, who think video games are juvenile yet have no problem passively watching television for hours. For me, games are a way of engaging my brain in a creative fashion. I like games that are strategic, require planning and problem-solving, and have elements of exploration. I think many games require more mental activity than simply looking at a screen and engaging in one-way communications.

Rock concerts are not, and never have been, intended as entertainment for children. Adults playing video games is closer to playing hopscotch at 35 than to attending a concert.
-
What about adults watching hour upon hour upon hour of television shows about teenagers?

IMO, rock concerts have the same target audience as video games, the 13-25 demographic.

That makes me AWESOME.

Anyway, what do you think about FO4?
I'm liking it so far. So glad that there's a color represented that's not swamp-green as in FO3.

I have never played any. A bunch of my friends are obsessed. Never head to their places to play video games though. I don't even have one of those next next next gen consoles. So fancy.

hahahahahahahahahahaha
Actually.... I got the game on launch day but the Fallout nerd in my house is my fiancée, who has been playing the crap out of it since then. The only thing I was able to do was create her character and watch her play. So earlier when I said I was playing it, I should have said I bought it and have been watching someone else play. If she hangs out with her friend tomorrow I will probably start my own character.
From watching her game, it kinda just seems like more of the same. I do appreciate the new color palette. Voice acting seems good. Graphics are good.
She seems to enjoy all of the crafting elements of the game.

Does anyone keep up with Marvel? I kind of fell behind, but I went to pick up some back issues of the re launched Howard The Duck and saw it was back to #1 even though it just re-launched in like May.... Then I went online and found out about this Secret Wars thing... What the hell is going on?

I only picked up Howard The Duck at the last minute because it was by the register and looked funny. It was/is funny but it was re-rebooted and I'm not really sure what the whole "Secret Wars" thing is, but it seems Marvel fans are pissed lol.
EDIT: Sounds a lot like what DC did with their Convergence storyline. Essentially, a bunch of different time periods and universes get mashed into one. Heroes have to figure out what's going on, yada yada yada.

They all get so convoluted... And weighed down by decades of continuity... (DC and Marvel)

Oh no! Superfly is being convicted of murder!...... probably... lol. Still awesome!
Picked up The Wicked & The Divine vol 1 over the weekend. It's about 12 gods that come down and manifest themselves as human beings every 90 years. They become huge pop stars, or lords of the underground, or just straight up insane murderers... So far Lucifer has been framed for murder and I'm not sure how into it I am. I believe it's only about 20 issues into it's run, volume 1 covers the first 5 issues. It's a cool concept so I'll stick with it for now.
Also picked up Prez issue 1, it's about a future where voting has switched to hashtags on social media and a 17 year old viral video star gets voted into office. Pretty funny stuff!

You must have said that in the SPOILER thread. I try to avoid it in case, spoilers. I do not necessarily watch TV on the same schedule as everyone else, and might not even watch Daredevil or Jessica Jones this year. I did post about Scream Queens, but then Julian posted about jumping the shark and I still have four episodes left, so I went back to mostly avoiding it.

yep..but no big spoilers tho in my post
Finished Jessica Jones. Worth the watch. The ending and arc of Daredevil was overall better, but JJ was still worth the watch. I won't spoil anything but the last episode if pretty fun!
I'm 4 episodes in. I didn't read the comic, but I'm liking it, even though it is really stressing me out! I don't watch Dr. Who, but I loved the Killgrave actor in Broadchurch.
And...maybe I should not have looked at the comics.
watched three last night and I'm hooked. Acting, story and cinematography are all great IMO
Never read or heard of the comic. But it's great and the super hero part seems like a pretty small part of the story (that may change)
Killgrave is a great character in general, mind controlling people to do your bidding!
Also, superhero sex! seems like a first to me and pretty graphic (for a tv show) to boot Episode 3 they bang like four times
With DD, I grew up just entranced with how Frank Miller changed the way I (and everyone else) looked at comics, heroes (or anti-heroes) and the dark stories you could tell. His characters were so different than any other comic at the time. Stick and Electra as well as the reboot of the punisher and other good/bad guys
And just the way he depicted this dark NY like no one before...Hell's Kitchen!
Most people's exposure to Miller was the Dark Knight, but for me DD always has a special place
Nowadays seems very normal, but back then comics were still pretty one dimensional. This series is doing a great job at bringing that to the screen...which the Movie (ben unaffected) did an horrendous job of.

"Following the critically acclaimed global smash hit X-Men: Days of Future Past, director Bryan Singer returns with X-MEN: APOCALYPSE. Since the dawn of civilization, he was worshipped as a god. Apocalypse, the first and most powerful mutant from Marvel?s X-Men universe, amassed the powers of many other mutants, becoming immortal and invincible. Upon awakening after thousands of years, he is disillusioned with the world as he finds it and recruits a team of powerful mutants, including a disheartened Magneto (Michael Fassbender), to cleanse mankind and create a new world order, over which he will reign. As the fate of the Earth hangs in the balance, Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) with the help of Professor X (James McAvoy) must lead a team of young X-Men to stop their greatest nemesis and save mankind from complete destruction."

Why is that X-Men movies just don't land. I feel like they're missing SOMETHING... X2 was great but ever since they're just lacked something for me... Not sure. Maybe it's just that they weren't gritty to begin with? Can't put my finger on it.
Seeing the new Batman vs Superman trailer also makes me less excited. They've also confirmed The Flash for that movie? Sheesh. Cram MORE shit into a movie, DC.

I haven't really liked any of the X-Men movies except for that last one where Fassbender levitates the stadium. That movie was a good time. I think the rest are all kinda silly and dumb, but I'm not much of a superhero movie guy either. I just can't get with a guy dancing around in a cape.

Really? I never caught it. I think it's on Netflix though. I thought the Judge Dredd "reboot" or whatever was fucking awesome. Maybe I should turn off my brain and check out Robocop.
-
The Dredd reboot was solid entertainment, but I inadvertently sullied it by seeing Raid: The Redemption just a day or two beforehand. With both movies having similar storylines (achieved in different ways), Dredd just can't compare. Still, it was pretty good.
For pure brutal spectacle, that last Punisher movie with Ray Stevenson did the job, I thought. If nothing else, it was a helluva lot better than the Thomas Jane version from a decade ago.

i used to collect comics waaaaaay back when, in fact i still have a box or two of them, most in plastic sleeves, somewhere in a parental basement (i hope). i remember when The Dark Knight Returns first hit the comic-shop shelves.
those covers gave me a nerd-boner.

I bought the regular one. There's already a hard cover edition of issue 1. They are really going to milk the shit out of this. The first issue alone was 7 god damn dollars. It was great though and I look forward to reading the rest. I'm not a huge fan of variant covers though. I wish they would just include all that cool ass art in one big issue. Usually those will get lumped into the book once all the issues come out. It's lame. Another cool Batman story going on now is Europa. All the art is drawn by pencil and has been in the works, or held back, for 10 years. Batman/Joker team up. It's weird. Issue 2 comes out today.
@Relaxer - Isn't there a 2nd Raid out there as well? I've seen some of the shots from that movie and they look insane. I've never taken time to check it out. There's a sequel for Dredd in the works as well, but for now it's all talk and early pre production phase.
@killsaly - fine I wont turn off my brain.
-
There is a Raid 2, but I don't think I have EVER seen a sequel make such a departure in tone and structure from the first than with these movies. The first Raid is a taut, lean thriller that has barely any dialogue, takes place entirely in one location, lasts an hour and a half, and has less than 5 characters that you remember when it's over. The story is about a guy who needs to go from the bottom floor of a building to the top floor.
In contrast, Raid 2 is 2 1/2 hours long, has a million characters, has a plot that I could not possibly explain despite having seen the movie twice, and is filled with meaningless, outta-nowhere scenes that have no connection to the plot or the characters. It's a complete WTF movie, though the action pieces are incredible and the whole thing is a big hot fascinating mess.
-
Gah! I'll have to get into those this weekend.
EDIT: Can't wait to see Star Wars tonight!!! Going at 8:20! It looks like the 2 showings before and 1 after are sold out. Was hoping to avoid a crowd but I guess not!
-
You were hoping to avoid a crowd at opening night of the new Star Wars movie?
-
You were hoping to avoid a crowd at opening night of the new Star Wars movie?
Pretty much my thoughts...
I am either going tomorrow, or Saturday. I want to see it regular, and in IMAX 3D.
-
i'm trying to decide if i want to see it regular, or 3D. i've been underwhelmed by 3D movies. Avatar was cool, but since then... meh.
-
I am going to watch both. So far I have only seen two IMAX 3D movies (I do not do to the movies often, Star Wars is going to be my first for 2015), Pacific Rim (amazing in 3D), and the last Superman movie (OK in 3D).
-
Seeing movies on iMax is impressive but I find that the screen is too big. I feel like I'm spending the movie moving my head constantly to see everything on-screen as if watching a tennis match.
-
for all you lovely nerds...

-

I figured the Imax screenings would be jammed and the midnight screenings. A lot of places are only doing later screenings tonight. Like I said, there was about 20 showings at the theatre and only 4 of them are sold out as of right now.
I think the Thursday 8pm crowd will be far more easy to deal with than, say, the Friday at 8pm crowd.
@sweetcell - Avatar has been just about the only good 3D movie because it was MEANT to be seen in 3D and shot FOR 3D. Most movies are shot with 3D in mind and then redone in post. The end result ends up being nauseating and most of the time totally pointless. Avatar looked insane in 3D.
-
Too bad Avatar is a shit movie. I did not see it in the cinema, and did not love it on home viewing.
-
Yeah it got really shitty reviews and was a "Last Of The Mohicans ripoff" or whatever, but seeing it in 3D was unreal. It was like looking into another world. Hands down the best CGI I've ever seen. It looked crazy. I couldn't explain it to anyone else who didn't see it in theatres.
Sure, the movie is mostly shit, but dang if it didn't look pretty as hell in 3D!

well this seemed like the place to post this for DFA and Kilsal

PRO WRESTLING REVIEW 2015
free Backstage / Doors at 6:00
Black Cat's resident pro wrestling enthusiasts want to share the best matches and moments from the incredible year that was 2015 with you. You can expect matches from WWE, New Japan Pro Wrestling, PWG, and some other top promotions from around the world. Let's have some fun!
-
Ah!! I've talked to those dudes! That sounds awesome!
PS that guy in the picture just got stripped of his title because of his rumored departure from New Japan Pro Wrestling and heading to the WWE. Such a bummer.
-
His match with AJ was my favorite of Wrestle Kingdom 10. I hope both of them mesh with WWE...
-
Didn't think that match could live up to the hype and it totally did. Looking back, would have been great to have AJ go over Naka, maybe do a rematch [or triple threat] after KO turned on AJ. Have KO go over them both. Talk about making him look strong... lol.
-
Dearest nerds,
Explain like I'm five "Minecraft." I tried reading the wiki and just went no and clicked off.
Thanks, Jules.
-
Dear Julian, you have to play it to understand. It's like, an unlimited Lego world of life.
-
Minecraft is "nerdy"? I thought it was a kids game.
-
Dear Julian, you have to play it to understand. It's like, an unlimited Lego world of life.
Right, that's what people tell me: it's like the video game version of Legos. But I don't get it. Like, you just make things with virtual legos?
-
Minecraft is "nerdy"? I thought it was a kids game.
Well, it's a video game, so yes, it is for children. Much of the "comic books and ... nerdy..." thread is actual "stuff intended for children that for some reason grown adults have deluded themselves into thinking they shouldn't be embarrassed about partaking in, so I figured this was the place who could explain this to me.
-
Actually, a good chunk of the comic books I read are mature themed and not for children. Same with the video games I play.
If I am watching something like TMNT, it is mainly because of nostalgia.
-
Also, why would anything like video games be embarrassing? They have been part of the pop culture landscape for like 40 years.
How is being obsessed with sports any different (pro or even your sacred college sports)? It is just games mostly being played by kids (and young adults) and obsessed over by grown men.
How is wearing a jersey any different than cosplaying as Wolverine? (I do not cosplay as anything, just asking).
And do not even get me started on the BS that is fantasy football... I will take video games ANY day to that bullshit.
-
You liked football growing up (I did not). I liked video games and comic books. And I am not ashamed of what I like. It is people like you who are basically nerds who think you are better than other nerds, and for some reason imagine your fandom is different than anyone else's.
-
Guys, guys, just think about how much time Julian spends staring mindlessly at television programs. It wonderfully negates any shame he attempts to sling our way.

New Suicide Squad trailer!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMb-RrhTxIE
Can't wait to see the insane romance of Joker and Harley on the big screen. Still not totally sold on Margot Robbie as Harley, but excited to see her in a film version finally and see this new take on the Joker. Also, when did Will Smith become so bland? I get he's been an action movie star for years, but I'm so disconnected from him as Deadshot...

Ugh that's so coooollll I want that bat!!! I have a couple artist prints of Harley in my room. One right next to my Joker figure [from the animated The Batman series from a couple years ago]. That's rad. I'm sure that's ONE of the bats? Right? Can't wait to see that costume all over the place during Halloween this year....

i got a free comic book mag today...
-
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is amazing. Just got back from a really fun long weekend there. Highly recommend.
-
So, what is it? I've seen pictures and I know there are rides but... isn't it just like 1 strip of Diagon Alley? And some little shops? Or is it all of Islands of Adventure with a TON of stuff to do? I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan but I'm very interested to see what the 'immersion' experience of it.
-

Before I went, I really thought I was going to be disappointed because people seemed so excited I was going. It's Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and the Hogwarts express. Both parts have a dedicated Harry Potter ride, but the whole experience they have put together is really incredible. There are all these details in the store windows, Knockturn Alley, and little easter eggs (like Kreacher appearing out of the window at Grimauld Square every few minutes). They did an amazing job of making everything look just like the movies/books. There's a vanishing cabinet in Borgin and Burkes and you can hear a bird chirping in it. The shrunken head on the knight bus talks and jokes with you. Waiting in line for the rides is also awesome. They recreated the lobby of Gringotts to a t. Plus, there are all these "spells" you can do throughout both parks and that gets you talking to the people who work there and other "witches and wizards" (It does also pretty much guarantee everyone will plunk at least 50 bucks on a wand, but I borrowed mine from a friend). Diagon alley is hidden in London just like the books. I was not as impressed with Hogsmeade. It looks awesome, and the three broomsticks/hogs head is great, and Hogwarts is super cool, but they really improved on everything when they built Diagon alley.
So yeah, totally nerded out.
-

They already had a book kind of like that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBP:_Federal_Bureau_of_Physics
FBP imagines a world where disturbances in the laws of physics are as common as weather, and necessitate forecasts about wormhole locations, momentary gravity losses, and entropy reversals. With much fanfare, the government creates a new bureaucratic organization to deal with quantum disturbances, the Federal Bureau of Physics.

Is anyone going to MAG Fest next weekend?!
I thought about it. I have a few friends going/performing.
But, I am taking a roadtrip to Philly for NXT on that Thursday and then a concert that I don't want to miss is that Saturday and then Sunday is a Fastlane party at my house...
I might go to part of it... Dont know.
-
I think we have a hotel there for the weekend so we're gonna try to party and play video games for 24 hours straight lol

Nice, if I end up going at all, I will message you.

^^^^^^^^^ lol, I meant the actual game itself isn't that gnarly. Like I said, still on our 2nd quest. Hard to get everyone together with conflicting schedules. Only fought 1 dragon so far. Cut its eye out. It's awesome.
I saw Batman v Superman last night and don't really get the hate it's getting. Although, I fucking hated Jesse Eisenberg and I fucking hate Superman. So, maybe I already knew that going in. I just can't think of anything likeable about Superman himself. Lois Lane was also annoying as piss in the movie. Anything Superman related sucked, but I always feel like that's the case. I didn't hate Affeleck as Bruce and I thought his Batman was fine enough. I haven't really followed much of the hate, but if it's all sent to the Superman side I can get it. I did like them showing a semi "evil" side of Superman, because he actually is a fucking dick. I felt like it got long winded at some points [like this post!] and they DID try to cram a lot in. Still didn't think it was the travesty that people say it is.
-
god . . . I wish you could have been alive when dungeons and dragons came into my life, and that era, and how that era dealt with such things. it got you noticed if you played, it got you feared once people found out, it got you feeling like you controlled the world. serial killers, probably played dungeons and dragons.
-
I am trying to organize a family outing to see BvS soon... Speaking of Superman, I was reading an article recently ranking the movies worst to best, and my favorite, Superman III, was ranked worst... Dumb ass list.

Does anybody else watch Arrow? I finally decided to give it a view, and am already 50 episodes deep in like a two week period.
-
After DC Rebirth I was tempted to get into The Flash. My sister watches it and says she loves it. I just don't trust anything on a major network for some reason. Idk.
Unless it's Bob's Burgers.
-
I'm about to start the Flash. I had to wait until I finished Arrow seasons 1 and 2.
-
Don't know if I can get into Arrow. I feel spoiled with the Netflix Marvel universe lol
-
I went into it with an open mind and really enjoyed it. I still need to start the Marvel ones.
-
I am now 92 episodes deep into the Arrowverse...
I grabbed my first Rebirth book today, Green Arrow #1.
-
Did you read Rebirth? Thought it was damn good. Have only picked up Batman, Flash, and Titans so far. I've heard Superman and Green Arrow were good though. My shop was down to limited editions and marked the prices up. First print. Nerds.
-
your, shop?
-
The comic shop I go to most! Not my own personal shop.

I did not read any of it yet...
I go to Third Eye Comics in Annapolis. I was working from home yesterday and needed to get out of the house, so I went and snagged a copy of Green Arrow. I saw the other Rebirth books but did not really know enough about it to know what to get.
-
There are a lot of butt-hurt nerds today (observation made after reading tons of Facebook comments on the article).
http://time.com/4394478/iron-man-riri-williams-tony-stark/
I personally think it is an interesting idea. We shall see.
I hate the way nerd culture has morphed. Or maybe it is not "nerd" culture as much as it is "fanboy" culture. In nerd culture, everything rules. Fanboy culture, everything sucks.
-
I decided to go back and read the New 52 run of Green Arrow, and finished the first volume yesterday. I have to say, Arrow made me a fan of a character I NEVER thought I would like. A Batman/Robin Hood amalgamation? Pass. Or so I thought.
-
This is awesome.
Hikaru Sulu will be the first openly gay character in the Star Trek film franchise (http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/7/12117446/star-trek-sulu-gay-john-cho-george-takei)
The character's orientation is a nod to George Takei

Actually it's an older lady. She looks like a regular old lady but she uses a cane to walk. There are also cute chicks who work there.
To be fair though it was owned by a big fat dude before and his staff [while super nice] were overweight nerd dudes lol.
@killsaly: I was told the Rebirth of Green Arrow was great, picked it up yesterday and didn't hate it. Will keep following up with it even though he's essentially Batman in Seattle. Also read Superman Rebirth, I can just never EVER care about him. Plus he's dead. Care even less about a Superman story with no Superman. My favorite, outside of Batman, has been Flash and Wonder Woman. Haven't picked up Green Lanters or Aquaman. I don't care enough to pick up either of those. Looking forward to the new Suicide Squad though.
-
I am reading the New 52 Green Arrow run first, and hopefully by the time I get to the end, the first TPB will be out for the new Green Arrow. I did buy the single issue of GA Rebirth, but I quit collecting single issue books to focus on collections and probably wont buy anymore. Trades are easier to deal with. I will get random singles though (mostly when Third Eye Comics has a signing), and grabbed GA Rebirth #1 to make sure I would like it. And considering the fact that GA is one of the twice monthly books, the first collected book should be out in a few months...
Other than Green Arrow, I am excited for Flash (because of the show), Supergirl, and Hellblazer. I will wait for the TPBs to come out.
-
I went the opposite route. I hated waiting for the collected books to come out and DC does their Batman stories weird. If there are one shots of others they may not be collected. Like Batman vol. 1 "Night Of The Owls" may have issues 1-7 BUT Batman: Court Of The Owls also has some of those issues plus the others. It was a pain in the dick jumping around for those. Although I have been reading Detective Comics like that. I'm also stoked for All Star Batman. Scott Snyder has more stories!
-
DFA, you missed a great ROH doubleheader yesterday. I missed half of Women of Honor but didn't miss any of Aftershock.
Jay Briscoe, Jay Lethal, Colt Cabana versus One of the Young Bucks, Adam Cole, and Adam Page was definitely the match of the night.

Yeah I'm bummed I missed it, but that wasn't even taped right? I'm not sure if that stop will even hit their VOD service.
-
Both shows were taped.

Spent my lunch break walking around looking for Pokemon
-
I finally got to level five... I guess I can battle now. There is a gym a few minutes walk from my backyard.

I usually would suggest you guys "stop being lame and go for a goddamn walk outside or something" but I'll be damned if Pokemon Go hasn't shut me the hell up.

I walk around almost every day and I work out regularly too. This is just something semi fun I can do while I'm walking. It's just a game. Not sure why people are so up in arms about it lol.
I'll tell you one thing, I've learned about a lot of historical places and spots around Virginia that I did not know of before!
I'm a level 6, but all the "gyms" around me are protected by like level 11+ up to level 22's... the games been out a week. Who has that kind of time!?

I hit level 7 today and given how obsessed existing Ingress players are, I'm not surprised people are leveling up so quickly. Plus one can spend money in order to get ahead in this game, which thankfully was never really added to Ingress.
-
I encountered a level 7 gym yesterday that had the top guy as a level 22 with a Pokémon in the CP of well over 1000. Insane. My highest is a Snorlax in the mid 500s or so.

Upcoming: EVOLVE in Joppa, Backlash in Richmond, Raw in Baltimore, King of Trios in PA, House of Hardcore in PA...

Still no sign of NXT near DC. Smh.
Also, they extended The Killing Joke screenings 1 night [tonight] if anyone missed it! I couldn't catch it last night so I'm gonna try tonight.
-
Currently doing a D&D campaign using 5th edition [Hoard Of The Dragon Queen] and last night we came across some assassins there were more freaking powerful than the dragon we faced [4 assassins]. Either way, we destroyed these 4 jabronis, they downed 2 of our party [there were 6 of us] and we got 22,000 XP! I leveled to a 7! WOO!
Just had to post that somewhere.
Just bought my ticket for Suicide Squad for Thursday night! So stoked!

-
Fortuntely, Suicide Squad will be available for you to watch for years, nay, decades, while Boris/Earth is only one night.
-
True, but going to see it on the opening night with my best friend and seven other people would only happen this Thursday.
-
SS has been getting some pretty bad reviews, but don't let that stop ya
-
I am a little worried because when I first saw the trailers for it I was pretty excited and now that I see the trailers for it, not so excited. But I could be wrong. I assumed deadpool was going to be horrible and look what it did.
-
If it sucks, then at least we have a good version of Suicide Squad in Arrow to enjoy.

Finally read GwenPool. Now I regret never getting into Spider-Gwen. What are the origins of GwenPool though? I know Spider-Gwen was a comic fan and then got sucked into the comic universe but I never connected GwenPool together. I just picked up Issue 0 and it kicks off with her and Howard The Duck.
Yes. It's awesome lol.

I want to check out both Gwen series, eventually.

GwenPool has me intrigued enough to go back and look into Spider-Gwen. I think GwenPool is only 4 or 5 issues deep.

Caught Doctor Strange on Friday and really enjoyed it. Super fun movie, the visuals are spectacular. I think I'll be going back to catch it in 3D to get that little extra bit of fun out of it. It was the first Marvel movie I had watched in theaters since GOTG [still my favorite].
Doctor Strange inspired me to go back and catch up on the Marvel movies I missed [Avengers 2, Ant-Man, Civil War] and I will admit while Avengers 2 kind of felt like they were moving pieces into place for Civil War, I thoroughly enjoyed Ant-Man and Civil War. Civil War was super fun and action packed but not to the point where it's just CGI explosion porn for 2+ hours.
Being all caught up I can say I'm super excited to see GOTG 2, Black Panther, Thor 3, and more build up of Thanos heading into Infinity War.
I'll have to look into the timeline of things [Doctor Strange hints at taking place during Civil War, I believe?] but I'm wondering why it has taken Thanos so long to come into the picture, story line wise. Doesn't he know about Loki's Scepter, the Tesseract, and the purple globe? After getting bad news of 4 of the infinity stones THEN he decides to step in? I guess he's a real trusting dude...

Went to Amalgam Comics in Philly over the weekend. Super awesome comic shop that also double as a communal space. They have couches up front, coffee tables and chairs with tables set up on the side, and in the back they have a giant conference table. The group up front seemed to be having some kind of meeting, the side tables were people drinking coffee and reading books, and the back table was actually a huge D&D group. I listened in to their session and realized they were playing the quest that I'm trying to get my group to play next!!! I had to leave lol.
Their ACTUAL comic selection was pretty standard and considering how big the place is, I thought there would be a lot more.
That being said, I did like the communal aspect of it. I think too many places in and around DC are just giant comic shops with no sense of community. I guess that's the way to culture has been bred. It was refreshing to have a welcoming place to just chill out and read comics and maybe meet some other nerds. Hard to beat the collection at Atomic City though!

saw that a 1914 Babe Ruth trading card valued at a record $6 million
so not sold
(although someone recently paid 4.6 mill for a Luka Dončić 1:1 Logoman Autographed rookie card....whoandWTAF)
for those who think Crypto is a bad idea for investing...I give you https://collectable.com/
The #1 Fractional Investing Platform for Sports
Sports collectibles have significantly outperformed the S&P 500 and other asset classes over multi-year investment horizons.* We make the top end of the market accessible to all, creating affordable opportunities for buying & trading shares of iconic, blue-chip cards and memorabilia that were previously reserved for wealthy insiders.
for only $8, you can own a fractional investment into a pair of shoes that Kobe wore in a game and signed after!?!
although seemed to pay well for those who got in on the Wilt the stilt IPO
https://collectable.com/offerings/wilt-chamberlain-buy-out-offer-result/
shareholders will receive a payout of $16.65 per share, after accounting for Collectable’s equity interests and broker dealer transaction fees. This represents a 66.5% return in just 4 days.

It seems like there is too much cash out there chasing too few goods - including real estate-and services... speculative bubbles everywhere you look
At the same time, the cash is concentrated in fewer hands...
-
Fractional investing in art has been a thing for decades. The sports card thing is just a new iteration of what's essentially a SPAC.
-
Am sure everything has been done before but the widespread scale price increases from collectibles to stocks to real estate to soybean prices to meat prices to meme stocks to crypto tells me something else is going on
It seems logical to me that if you have interest rates stuck near zero for over a decade and central banks the world over pumping as much money out as possible the value of the money vs the goods would eventually decrease and you would need more money to buy the same goods but....at the end of the day I don’t know what’s going on or why... just seems like something is happening but I don’t (really) know what it is (Mr Jones)
Anyways since i don’t have gobs of cash lying around and don’t like to gamble it really doesn’t matter but one can’t help but think about it when it’s all around
-
did you walk into the room with your pencil in your hand??
the interest rates near zero for decades is just criminal, not sure how to fix it
How do they expect anyone to save in something stable and not gamble their life savings on speculative things?
I do think it's all about diversity. Some in the bank, some in real estate, some in stocks/EFTs/bonds (with diversity there too)
I don't think having crypto and collectibles (or NFTs) as a part of that is a bad idea
but when you start planning your retirement on a collectible...now that's a bad idea
most people think that 'hey if it's worth $500, I should be able to sell it for $500' and you'd be lucky to get half that, maybe even less
Just went out last night and met up with some friends for drinks and pool (I know right! it's been a long fn time)
one of them treated us all because he bought a bunch of AMC stock and sold it yesterday (bought at 6 sold at 60)
that wasn't investing any more than it was putting it all on red 15 on the craps table

True.. that’s gambling..high stakes gambling
Unless he showed me receipts i wouldn’t believe a word Haworth says!
I think long term practically zero interest rates have made sense given where we are but I think there is going to be collateral damage. Nothing is free in life...what goes up comes down etc
Not a fan of speculation but I don’t have the problem of having cash I am willing to gamble lying around..
Should I be rooting for inflation though?
Inflation favors those with large debts.. we have a hefty mortgage
