    Awesomely funny.
  3. Is Booster from the future? Legion of Heroes kid? Kang the Conqueror?
  4. This reminds of the time I re-watched Speed Racer... and had my lovely childhood memories crushed. Wow, this is bad on every level, except maybe plot. Was the video always so jerky? It's actually giving me a headache.
  5. Oh, so THAT'S why they change Austen's first name so much to resemble another common but not used in polite society word. I always wondered. That is pretty lame. But at this point, so are X-men comics. I tried to read the latest ones and was like, "I could be taking a nap or cleaning my oven instead."
  6. Heh. Like the pose, not crazy about the afterimage effect. But the expression is terrific.
  7. He's a very good drawer of stuff.
  8. Psst, LJ... Caemgen runs a loan-sharking bidness on the side. Check for strings. And gats.

    I have no knowledge of Nightcrawler's father -- what's his deal? (As in: powers, etc.)
  10. That was quite funny. Excellent spoof.

    Bee Tee Double-youse: Here's the awesome VW commercial they're spoofing, for those who haven't seen it.
  11. Please tell me that wasn't Toad. Dumbest mutant ever. Other than that, I'm on board.
  12. Go look! It's a real thing!

    And I have to say, the reviews are hilarious. I'm a geek, I can laugh at myself. Plus I'd never wear something like this.
  13. Heads-up appreciated!

    Oh 1979, how I've missed you so.
  14. Ironik's Halloween costume since '04 has been Fat Elvis.

    (Ironik the character. I don't generally speak about myself in the third. Or does he?)

    And there is only Virtue. The other servers are a lie.
    There is no Dana, only Virtue.
  16. Well, you *can* mod CoH, but it is frowned upon... and only appears client-side. Back in the day someone did a really impressive Superman by swapping out one of the chest details for the big red S and did different boots, I think. I can't recall if they did a new cape as well.

    ...out all the bad feelings I've had in my soul for a month. Man, that is totally sweetastic.

    I mean, the awesome ray gun would never fit into that holster, but WHY AM I LOOKING AT THE HOLSTER ANYWAY???
  18. Hey, if they put up with my constant disconnects, they can put up with a re-virginated player.
  19. The only thing more awesome than that picture is Attache. Truth.

  21. Everyone knows Pink = Chaos. Look at Reservoir Dogs.
  22. Ah, The Others. Supposedly scary critters who may or may not be zombies and we only see twice over 5,000 pages? Which in TV series terms means they show up again in 2017.
  23. Hey, whatever gets you through the night, man. The newest MLP is written and produced by the same woman who created Powerpuff Girls which was equal parts clever and cute. Also superheroic.

    Daaaamn that's a big book. Does it come with a sherpa? Or at least a hand truck?

    Good for HBO for taking another gamble on unusual subject matter (if Starz's decidely lower budget Camelot doesn't saturate the audience). It's a very big gamble, though.
    $60 million after various tax breaks, cutting the price of production by 40 to 50%, hence the rumored $100 million+. So that's about $6 million per episode and if they're getting as much as $2.5 million per episode from some overseas sales like the Hollywood Reporter claims, then they've more than earned back their production+marketing cost. Heck, given how many markets they re-sell in, just getting $500k per ep would ensure a profit.
