I mean, it's probably different in places like New York, but newspapers are a dying industry as it is anyaway. As far as I'm aware supermarkets still sell some comics, though, like Archie and stuff-don't know about DC and the like. Rare footage of Wickedhate irl:

I dunno man, Red Tornado and Original Flavor Machine Man are pretty horribly boring. Even the lamest mummy is cooler than them.

The Toronto Game Jam has a tradition of showing Hackers on the last night. Unfortunately I always skip it because I am busy making a drat game or sleeping my rear end off.

I think the show might've abandoned the pretense of not being set in the US at some point. The guy who voices Quebec Mr. Burns was my friend's teacher, he loves doing that voice in lectures.

By far the stupidest Star Trek episodes were the one where there's a planet that has its own united states constitution and US flag, and the one where a bunch of romans find jesus. Oh and the one that's just the taming of the shrew.

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

Wolverine's got retarded aging and can barely get hangovers, and most importantly his injuries heal. All of them. Nothing is more horrible than still feeling pain from a 10 year old injury, and Wolverine never has to deal with that. That's the real superpower.

TwoPair posted:I don't know much about the Infinity gems but like, is there a point to any of them besides Reality? Like, after you can bend reality to your whim, that's the whole ball game there. Reality can do "anything" but it's supposedly really, really hard to comprehend how to use it without having the mind gem, and its scope is relatively limited without the power gem to fuel it. But yes, it's by far the most powerful of the gems. E: Whoops double post.

Squizzle posted:The Reality and Power gems don't, as far as I know, have any sensory aspect. Space, Time, Mind, and Soul each give you some ability to understand and study the thing that the gem able to affect. (Maybe Power gives some sort of energy-sense?) Reality on its own makes for a great monkey's paw, if you're not careful. Having the gauntlet would get mad boring too, Thanos had to depower himself to make fighting all his greatest enemies at the same time even slightly challenging. And while several of the gems expand your perceptions, they clearly don't confer any wisdom. When The Magus had the gauntlet, he described the reality gem as "too much to even focus on right now", which is kinda nuts considering he was busy sending Adam Warlock's atoms through time and space to torture him while he was thinking that. The power gem is kind of great because any stupid rear end in a top hat can use it by just hanging onto it and punching poo poo. WickedHate posted:So having the reality gem without either of those is like being Firestorm without the smart guy telling you the chemical formulas. Yayyy, analogies!

Squizzle posted:The Soul Gem should definitely confer some wisdom, imo. Otherwise, lovely gem that just fights ghosts??? It kinda just made Adam Warlock insane. Squizzle posted:If you had the whole gauntlet, you could use the four sensory gems to crowdsource wisdom from everyone who had ever lived. Add the Reality Gem, and you could conference in every possible version of every possible person. Right, but it wouldn't confer the humility to think you need to do that. WickedHate posted:Pfft, why would I need to do that, I'm already perfect and supremely wise. Other people's minds would drag me down. See? Totally what Dr. Doom would say.
