    The "What'cha Been Playin'?" Thread

    Borderlands, and I have been for a couple months now. Of course I have been breaking it up with other games, like WWE All Stars and Torchlight XBLA.

    "All-Star Superman" Feature Talkback (Spoilers)

    I enjoyed it, my husband didn't. He doesn't really like *hokey* Superman. It probably was a story that worked better in comic book form since it seemed very segmented. However, I really dug how it looped back into DC One Million, which is one of my favorite comic book crossovers of all time. I...

    "Watchmen" Talkback (Spoilers)

    I have a generally positive opinion of this movie. I enjoyed the music and the visuals were overall gorgeous and stunning, even the gory ones looked fantastic. The actors all did good jobs, with the stand out characters being Rorschach and the Comedian. I was surprised by how good Ozymandias...

    Anyone here remember old-school toys?

    The one toy that was really popular that my parents got me, and I remember this quite vividly, was a Cabbage Patch doll. I think I remember it more because my dad was back from a long deployment (he was in the Navy) and it was one of the toys he got me while he was home. I also had a Fraggle...

    The Best Cliffhangers (From Movies and Television Shows)

    I really liked the X-Files for neat cliffhangers. The best but also the most horrifying for me (I was 11 at the time) were the two episodes called "Duane Barry" and "Ascension" which culminated in the abduction of Scully. By the end of the episode Scully is gone, Krycek is found to be a traitor...

    Okay, let's talk Shakespeare...

    Of the little Shakespeare I have had the chance to read, my favorite play by far was Macbeth. I've also read, in an academic setting, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, Henry IV: Part I, Henry IV: Part II, and The Tempest. As for works that I want to read, I really want to read Antony and...

    Your TOP 10 graphic novels - DC Edition

    The Golden Age - One of the best elseworlds stories that I can recall ever reading. This book takes the Golden Age heroes of the DC universe and really throws them into a dark and intriguing mystery. James Robinson wrote this and incorporated small details from the miniseries (even though it was...

    "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" Talkback (Spoilers)

    But what most people forget is that there is nothing saying that Susan is prevented from re-entering Narnia at some point beyond what is in the final books. It's left rather open, considering how the the other children got to Narnia the final time. Spoilers....

    "Zero Punctuation" Talkback (Warning: Strong Language)

    I think his issue with the character unlocking in Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the fact that they heavily advertised the game with Snake and Sonic and both of those characters need to be unlocked. While it's not a big deal, I think that putting them on the box and having them so heavily featured...

    Does Wonder Woman really deserved to be part of the "Big Three"?

    Yes. She was created in 1944 and is still around and has a monthly comic published today. She has been viewed as one of the top three DC heroes. I think that people in this thread are really low-balling how recognizable she is today. I have a Wonder Woman bracelet and get many more comments on...

    "Justice League: The New Frontier" Feature Talkback (Spoilers)

    Superman had to get punked out. It wasn't supposed to be his story. Not only did it show that the Center was super powerful when it took him out, it also set the stage for Green Lantern and Flash to be the heroes of the piece. And that was the point. It was really their story. One of the main...

    What Did You Buy This Month? (February, 2008 Edition)

    It is more of the same, I won't lie. The graphics are improved quite a bit, and the new combo system is very fun and rewards you for chaining attacks, which is a nice way to prevent the player from just attacking generals. Climbing and swimming really open things up. I like being able to jump...

    Favorite Book?

    This is difficult, but I will try to only list a few. A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess is a book that I have read many times. I love it. The use of language and especially of the created slang nadsat is one of my favorite aspects of the book. I also love the ideas at the core of the book...
