RIP, sir. You were a piece of my childhood. Thank you.

Hope this isn't a double thread...

I had to write because I was surprised at how much I liked this issue. I was jaded going in. Marvel's mantra of a "death a quarter" just sickened me to the core. So I expected trite poop.

I was, frankly, amazed at how much I dug this puppy. The core elements of Peter's fundemental....goodness...shone through to me more than anything else. I think in essence, it's what I have just plain always loved about Peter/SM for more than three decades now. He's good.

Yes, I know the 'death' is a transitory thing and nothing more than fodder for future retcons. But I was touched, and that's something that rarely happens for me these days when I open a comic.

Ok. Just Fandango'd my tickets. I have no idea what to expect in terms of quality...but GL was a childhood favorite of mine. I am going to hit a midnight show, so I'll know relatively early. I am trying to keep my hype-meter low...but there is a ten year-old kid inside me screaming for joy.

James Franco has a terrific screen presence. I think the film has real potential to reinvigorate the franchise. Now, add zombie apes to the mix...we have a real winner.

Saw it today. My wife and I loved it! And yes, the 'Go f*^% yourself' was a very pleasant surprise.

I think the kid who played Beast was spot on perfect. I am really pleased with their choices for Xavier and Mags...excellent chemistry. I hope in the next installment we see some Mastermind.

Now I want to hibernate until May 2012.

Balloon travel power.

Well deserved and long overdue. Nuff Said!

Penny for the Guy!

Happy Guy Fawkes everyone. Gonna fire up 'V for V' tonight!

Thanks Master Blade. That was it. A sg friend pointed me in that direction...but I very much appreciate that forum support.

Cheers.

Upgraded to Windows 7 and have just noticed a problem with the enhancement screen...couldn't find anything regarding the issue here on the forums so I'm seeking advice.

When I hover over my enhancements in the manage screen I don't get any info...same when I hover over the power itself. I can get the 'show details' when I click it...but the general hover over shows nothing...no set info, nada. Really making my IO work tough. I've never had this problem before. Anyone know anything that might help?

Thanks in advance.

Virt and Freedom are giving me the db error. Justice was no problem.

Loved that split second Peter Parker homage! Great job on this video for sure...

Seems like a no-brainer for me to join. Been in a similar group on and off for years since the first Portland Meet n Greet way back when. Thanks for the invite!

i17 Update:

Sneering reference to market interface. Use of brackets and the words 'golf clap' in reference to Ultra Mode. Harsh invective regarding marketing! Notation of empty servers!

Use of bold-face to emphasize lack of content! Sober reminder that the game engine is over six years old and thus obsolete.

Personal attack aimed at forum contributors who laud the game's achievements! A scathing indictment!

References to upcoming MMOs and their inevitable superiority!

Aside pointing out knowledge of customer service!

An angry salutation.

Happy 6th everyone! According to the interwebs 6th anniversary = gifts of candy or iron! I propose a giant, iron piece of candy...perhaps pie or cookie flavored depending on your proclivities.

I look forward to getting off work and jumping in!

You just KNOW they're going to nerf the dodge mechanic sooner rather than later!

winky face

I love the internet "wayback machine". And courtesy of said site....the old forums...

Angry Going Rogue rant! Burning desire for all pre-order pieces now! Disappointment at revealed content! Express dismay at lack of powerset proliferation! Some complaint about war walls! Complaint about collectors box!

Statement that GR isn't worth it's expressed price.

Individual assertion that it isn't worth my money! Bored with game comment!

Nerf bork broken DOOM!

Accusation that parent company secretly letting product wither. Cites non-cited numbers! Refers to friends on that game who scoff at this game!

Added complaint about user interface! An angry inference that the devs NEVER listen. Uses the word "bork" and "borked" four times!

Aside: MOON BASE!

OP expresses smug satisfaction that post is receiving commentary. Derisively dismisses all responses as misinterpretations of intent.


Notation that development community favors heroes over villains.

Link to screenshot of character with respectable accumulation of influence. Reminder that the market is broken. ANGRY REFERENCE to game-changing event colloquially referenced as squishy-toy produced by Hasbro!

Accusations of forum elitism! Alarmist concern about game's declining numbers! List of level 50 toons!

Emphatic First After Mod comment!

Second request for OP's in-game belongings.

Angry clarification of intent! Mocking dismissal to responses of orginal post! Cynical reminder about ignore function. Validation of rights as paying customer! Indication that this response will serve as final communique...

Declaration that both this game and that game are superior anyway.

Internet meme!
