Yeeeeaaahhh..... I think watching it as a joke is how yer SUPPOSED to watch it. If yer watching it seriously yer not doing it right.

I take it you didn't read the previous X-Force by Kyle and Yost. Granted, they're not writing this one, but it proved that a dumb sounding idea can still turn out awesome.

"Oh why did they ever try to play God?!!?"

The theory: Sony got lucky cause they made a good CD based console while Nintendo stuck with cartridges and Sega's system flopped.


The counterpoint: Sony succeeded cause they made a good CD based console while Nintendo stuck with cartridges and Sega's system flopped.



Hmmmm, which argument to go with....... *thinky face*

That's pretty much what he says. With Nintendo making stupid/bad decisions and Sega on it's last legs, PS1 had minimal competition. While the inability of the X-Box to sell in Japan helped the PS2 become the juggernaut it was.

He also states that he wasn't talking about the quality of the games or anything. Merely the position of the industry during Sony's rise to power.

I liked it.

The opinions I've heard the most were good for Messiah Complex, fair for Messiah War, and mostly great for Second Coming.

Ah, so you just don't agree with him. Well, that's fine (though I think using 'retarded' is uncalled for). He said himself that it was simply a theory. Something to consider.

And you have to admit some of his points ARE valid. Playstation DID dominate the industry at the time when their two opponents were at their weakest. Whether or not it's true is a moot point. It's simply something to think on. That's what the Game Overthinker is all about.

You mean like when he called them tyrants, or referred to their treatment of Sony as a "**** move"?

I'm the opposite.

I find X-Factor boring and a bit pretentious. Plus I'm not big on how Peter David's using Rahne in X-Factor, and she's one of my favorite characters so..... yeah.....

Conversely, I'm loving the crazy vampire stuff. But then, I buy just about anything with Ambush Bug, Squirrel Girl, Beta Ray Bill, or Howard the Duck in it, so I'm a big fan of that kinda thing.

You magnificent b*****d!

Ah good.

I wouldn't want anyone blindsided by ridiculous plot twists.



Y'know... any more than usual anyway.

Hey, just makin' sure. I never take anything in comics for granted unless I've actually read the issue. And even then I kinda look at it sideways.

Are you absolutely sure?

Cause if all she's confessed to is him being her father, then you should prepare yourself for them springing some hitherto unknown Ross daughter that he had with.... oh, I don't know.... Madame Masque or something.

Hey, that's the exact wording of my 'Personals' add.


*rimshot*

Who are you and how did you get in here?

Which logically means that all colleges are exactly the same way.


YAY LOGIC!!

Also it's short.

Using a game that's 60+ hours probably wouldn't fit too well into the schedule.

I personally see no problem with it. Whether you think it's the best example or not, it's simply a short, sweet modern example of the theme they're studying. It isn't the lynch pin of the class; just one small part of it. It's also a great way to get kids interested in the subject.

And spoilers; he's still being a total ***hat in Academy. Only about three issues in and he's already emo-cutting himself with his old Penance helmet. If comic's had sound I'd expect there'd be Linkin Park playing in his room.

Yes, because they can figure out a way to mindwipe everyone on the planet of one specific memory; but they can't find a cure for bullet wounds.
