I feel like I should read Giant Size Man-Thing since I used to enjoy when they'd make that joke in Wizard every single month

I don't know what its reputation has you believing. It's just Man-Thing, only bigger.

Gerber's Man-Thing is one of the all-time great runs and one of Neil Gaiman's biggest inspirations for Sandman.

Unmature posted:I feel like I should read Giant Size Man-Thing since I used to enjoy when they'd make that joke in Wizard every single month It's good comics, but at the same time it's essentially a Man-Thing annual. For a short time in the early 70's Marvel dropped the annuals for more irregularly schedule "Giant-Sized" whatever. Hence, Giant-Sized Avengers wrapping up the Korvac saga or Giant-Sized X-Men introducing a hip new multiethnic team (the All-New, All-Different X-Men really were the BK Kids of the 1970's; they even had a member in a wheelchair). Anyway, the real point is just read Gerber's Man-Thing run in general, particularly the Mike Ploog issues.

Everyone has their moment of shame, where the incredibly obvious joke goes over their head. This is my moment. I just now, as a result of reading the last page of posts, realized why "Giant-Sized Man-Thing" was funny. It's a dick joke. gently caress. This is me: https://i.imgur.com/W6pE68z.mp4

In my defense for never understanding those jokes english is not my first language, and I learned it playing video games. Tho I did understand why Giant-Sized Man-Thing was funny pretty quickly.

You'd be surprised how many people learn English through video games. I've seen a few goons tell their stories. My friend has a cousin that is half Japanese, and they used imported Pokémon games to help him with his Japanese when he was little.

Most Chileans my age that know english learned by playing videogames and watching movies because our education system is bad. My school changed english teacher every year so they always taught the verb to be, nothing else. I'm pretty sure it's similar in most countries of LatAm.

They grew up in America so it's not the same, but my friend's little brother basically learned to read off old Lucas Arts adventure games, the DOS ones without voice acting.

I learned rudimentary French off my mother's Asterix comics. Didn't use it for anything and took actual classes in high school, but that was my start.

Full Throttle kickstarted my English learning, as I had to keep a dictionary next to me to solve those puzzles but I only properly learned when I began browsing the web when I was 14 or so. Had actual classes in middle school and high school but those were terrible and I could never pay for particular courses.

It’s not as exciting, but I can say that growing up playing text parser games and Sierra adventures helped my typing. Also, growing up watching old TV shows on the local oldies station let me answer all the age gate questions on Leisure Suit Larry 3 correctly.

The Ben Reilly page is missing the one before where he asks the girl if she's really a little girl (she's not, she's some spirit/demon/whatever in the shape of a girl), before summarily punching her out.
