Hey, Dan Didio- Take my wife, please!

I've notified the F.B.I. about your "war".

I've notified the grammar police about your quotation mark usage.

[Criden]

http://www.abcmedianet.com/showcontent/primetime/wifeswap/wifeswap_i/lead.jpg

I always thought that was a horrifyingly unaware name for a TV show.

[Criden]

This is like the only thread on the board today with any momentum.

[jason hissong]

Sorry Jason!

And, no, we don't. Well, let me rephrase: we might. See, we've got a back room totally filled with long boxes, but it's not inventoried at all! It's one of the things I keep telling my boss, but it's going to be a big job. But, in the books we do have in inventory, no luck!

I'm coming over.

This shop I used to go to when I grew up in St. Louis would, every six months or so, have a .25 or .50 back issue sale. It was literally hundreds of longboxes, unsorted, and everyone just grabbed whatever they found.

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

I've notified the grammar police about your quotation mark usage.

My quotation marks were justified!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DAVE]

Actually I google image searched 'words fail' and that's the first odd/funny pic I saw.
:lol: That's pretty appropriate, then.

I remember the first time I ever went to NYC for school, we were trying to decide where to eat. Jekyll and Hydes came up, and I was all for it, but these dumb-ass girls in the group said "No, thats too tourist-y, we'll go someplace else." And I was glad they decided for us, otherwise I would have never had the unique experience to visit The Olive Garden.

My girlfriend's brother runs a website, where all he does is make custom restauant recommendations for people. He knows his shit, he gets reviews for hard to book places before the New York Times does. I've seen it!
He took to me to two sushi places over a couple of weeks. A month later I see those two places ranked as the best sushi places in the city in New York Magazine. Don't you think his website would be useful for your trip?

But go ahead, enjoy the Broadway and 48th St TGI Fridays!

Yeah, I mean, I guess Olive Garden is fine, but these friggin' girls were bitchy as hell! One of them wouldn't drink any water unless it was Fiji water, and she was dumber than a box of rocks, and the other two wouldn't friggin' talk! I wasn't even trying to hit on them, just being civil, and they would roll their eyes and ignore my friend Mike and I, and only talk to our friend Jon.

Nah, only 'wichcraft, which I used to go to during my super-late lunch break (think 4 or 5 typically, often later!). Great little place. I'd love to go to Craft. I have been to DB Bistro, which is Craft-esque--Daniel Boulud and Tom Colicchio are contemporaries and maybe buddies, if I recall correctly.

Ultimatum #1 was terrible.

Yes, I went to Craftsteak, and I found it to be super disapointing, and overpriced. I didn't have the steak, obviously but others in my party did and also were not floored. I don;t mind expensive restaurants but I want it to be worth it. Everything that was served was oversalted.
Everyone I know that has been at one of his places has said the same thing.

I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to restaurants and there's no chance in hell I'd ever go back to a Craft place. There's way too many good restaurants in the city.

[NickT]

Sorry, #7? It's definitely during or after #4. It was released correctly.
Meant #4 sorry. I got confused because Aren't Black Canary and the like in the satellite?




Also, does that mean all of the Checkmate members are dead except for the ones who got to the bunker? The OMACs seemed quite kill-y.

Avengers: The Initiative Special: 40 (!) pages

Oh, I see. By the end of the story it's Day 26, though. When was FC #4? I assumed that was around Day 14.

No, any good? I've always been curious.

They're fairly awful, but if you need cigs on the cheap, they're a good sub.

I think I'll stick with what I buy. I don't like cheap cigs.

[KingMob]

Oh right, I forgot you'd said that. Sorry to hear it. If your store doesn't get it in, lemme know, and I'll send you mine.

thanks but i'll probably just order it online.




Sorry, #7? It's definitely during or after #4. It was released correctly.

Nick doesnt know what hes talking about!

[Criden]

thanks but i'll probably just order it online.

Sure man.

Read Ultimatum #1. More than anything, I think it's utterly bizarre that

they used the last page of the first issue to market the book.

Luckily I've still got the 60-ish page Guerillas #2 to read.

I should say people have seen before. I don't think I've seen it.

It was just a joke about the inconsistencies in Magneto's character over the years . . . I guess you have to be a series X-Fan to get it. ;)

Ohhhh, okay. For the record, I didn't remember him ever having telepathic powers during those periods, but I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I have read most X-Men books for the last 5-10 years, but I'm not sure I'm really a big X-Men fan. I read some of the stuff in the 90's, was never big on it.

Magneto has been consistently and frequently depicted as possessing the ability to resist all but the strongest or most unexpected telepathic attacks. In the X-Men film series, his helmet contains a device capable of blocking telepathic or hypnotic attacks. During the Secret Wars Charles Xavier described Magneto as a latent telepath, and Magneto assisted Xavier in a joint act of telepathy. In his early appearances, Magneto was able to engage in astral projection.

Magneto is also a genius with competence in various fields of advanced science, especially in genetic manipulation, engineering, and other fields of technology. He has invented advanced weaponry, space stations, and intelligent superhuman lifeforms. Magneto is also a master strategist and has had extensive combat training, though he prefers to use his powers in combat situations.

Ryudo, you work at Gamestop, I was planning to get a refurbished DS Lite system from Gamestop soon. Would you say they are a trustworthy source?

[Criden]

Oogie boogie.

Avengers: The Initiative Special, FC: Resist, Adventures Comics Special, Invincible Iron Man, and JSA were all pretty great.

[Criden]

Ryudo, you work at Gamestop, I was planning to get a refurbished DS Lite system from Gamestop soon. Would you say they are a trustworthy source?

I would pay the extra $20-30 or whatever and get a new one. I'm pretty sure Ryudo advised me to go with used over refurbished if I was going to go that route, if anything.

Pfah.

There are bundles: used Classic DS with two games for $99.99. If you don't care about the Lite, get that, it's the best value.

Everything's guaranteed for 30 days, and you can buy a replacement plan for an extra $10. So it's not like you'd get screwed or anything. I bought my used DS and it's still working fine, over a year later.

[Albert]

And I might keep that Classic idea in mind.


I'm still a little vague on the differences between the Classic and Lite, other than size.

Here's my 2 cents. The Lite is a much sleeker, more modern-looking package. I personally like it a lot better. I think it's well, well worth the extra $20-$30, to get that model, new. Seriously worth every extra penny, to me.

[Criden]

You're really a man in his 50s, aren't you!

Yes.

No.

[Criden]

Here you go, this should help, it definitely helped me when I was wondering the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DS#Nintendo_DS_Lite.

[Ryudo]

Size and screen brightness; that's it.

I didn't care about size; I am 6'4 and have big hands, and both systems play fine for me. I like the classic one okay and it costs less, which is the major thing for me.

YOU MUST DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!

[Albert]

Yes.

No.

Do you think we have any posters here in their 50s?

Besides Taxman?

[Black Roman]

Hmmm, something to think about, especially since I just heard about the price drop on used DS Lites. Gives me something to think about.

Not gonna make a steadfast decision until I get there most likely. :lol:

FWIW, everyone besides Ryudo prefers the Lite. By this I mean every other person on the planet.

I always assumed SteveZegers was in his 50s or 60s. His love of DC's silver age seems odd and unnatural for someone who grew up in the 80s.

[Albert]

Re: the DS debate - I was never once interested in the original DS because I thought it looked clunky and lame and ugly. But I got a Lite the very day it came out. And I love it. So much.

[Criden]

He made some vaguely creepy comments yesterday in the DC thread. I was surprised, I always thought he was sort of super-sincere, earnest, etc. But yeah, I'd always assumed something similar.

[thatguyfromsyracuse]

I'm actually only 15 years old!

Okay, like I said, my wallet will probably do the decision making for me. Thanks for the assistance though.

Sure man. You could always buy used games instead of new in order to offset the cost. Or use Ryudo's employee discount.

Why the hell did I never notice that the cast of Not Another Teen Movie is in the music video for Marilyn Manson's cover of Tainted Love? :-?

[Ryudo]

Okay, like I said, my wallet will probably do the decision making for me. Thanks for the assistance though.

This was me.

I wouldn't MIND a Lite, but could not afford it.

The bundle is good. I think it's two games that are $30 or less, which opens you up to some nice choices.

[THWIP!]

The first hour and a half of work suuuuuuuuucked.

I don't understand how could not afford a Lite if you can afford games for it. I don't mean to be difficult, I just can't wrap my head around that.

[Black Roman]

Hey, Ryudo. Have I mentioned that I've always been secretly attracted to you. :heybaby:


EDIT: And yes, I love used games. I actually prefer them to a degree.

Sorry man. I posted about Ultimatum above.

ETA: Clearly you saw already.

[Ashwin Pande]

What's funny about Ultimatum is that in a book in which everything goes to shit we never actually see anything happen. It's just a series of jump cuts.

Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals are good albums.

Interestingly enough on my first read through of From Hell I found Marilyn Manson's music to be a fitting companion to the graphic novel.

From Hell's one of my favorite GN's. To my mind it's Moore's densest and best written work yet. I just wish the lettering would have been a little easier to read. It's always a bit of a strain to read the book.
