The whole comic book industry is a dinosaur, none of this matters. I accidentally came across some best seller lists one month and not a single one topped 70 or 80k (forget which). They need to figure something new out. And, no, I don"t have any suggestions. I just know I refuse to buy...

Speaking of Marvel Digital Comics, I got a free month when I got Marvel vs Capcom 3. Do they basically put up a few comics in a storyline and then not finish putting them up intentionally? It basically destroys any urge I have to subscribe.

Too Much White .

Phat Lewtz to wipe tears away do help, I suppose, but it also kind of negates the story. Instead, remember how some would kill Karana after The Storm Lord because, as the old update read, "We all remember the Karanas"? What if instead after Karana died the whole raid was...

Part of the problem might be that the main character is us. The Usual Suspects was awesome because of the ending. If we were Gabriel Byrne"s character and a similar ending occurred, how many players wouldn"t be pissed? "I did all this and I still LOST? Fuck this game."

I think there are only two ways to really get story involved "for the masses" in a game. Even though I myself am a lore whore and pursued the story and tried to find out why things happened in these games, I have to admit I always found these things outside of the game. Very rarely did I find...

Kampfgruppe, or the Allies vs Germans version, Battlegroup? I had Kampfgruppe, can"t remember the Allies vs Germans one exactly. They were SSI, though. The chess one, if it"s not Archon....Sargon maybe. (edit: Beaten!)

Herzog Zwei? Battle Chess? Archon also had a shitty sequel, but I doubt it"s that.

I"d rock my Uncle something fierce in that baseball game. It was all about the baserunning shenanigans. In retrospect, we both may have sucked. Bird vs Dr. J I had on a Commodore 64. Some intense neighborhood match ups with some neighbors. Despite it being Bird versus J, I always found...

I recently got the Intellivision pack on the X-box 360 to relive old times. Shark! Shark! is still great after all these years. Was playing with a friend who didn"t know my fish could eat his if I "leveled up" quicker. Chomp chomp.... That and Snafu! . The controls didn"t feel as smooth...

I was ridiculously hooked on Pools of Radiance and Death Knights of Krynn. In Death Knights, on my Amiga (fuck yeah), during the opening fight a Blue Dragon breathed and the lightning bolt hit one of my guys, hit the wall behind him, bounced off, and hit the same guy again, killing him. I...

It most definitely is a money play. That being said, I"ve heard some people actually enjoy the game itself, but it"s no Magic TG. I think so long as there"s no ingame advantages offered by the cards, I"m okay with it. S"far as I know, there are none. Ialmostgot suckered into it when they...

I haven"t really read a better seriesset in Forgotten Realmsthen the Moonshae Trilogy. Out of date and print by now, I"m sure, but it was definitely a bit more gritty then the later stuff. Too bad Ed Greenwood"s Spellfire didn"t take off in FR....a bit fan fictiony in terms of powers, but it...

This was offered once and the actual implementation fell flat. Remember City of Heroes? They had a comic released to help flesh out the gameworld and one of their gimmicks was they"d select people ingame to be in the comic. Cool, right? My imagination asploded due to not being fully...

Speaking of this, I irrationally miss the fact that you could sometimes see what mobs had for loot by having a weapon in their hand. It was nice to see "Hey, he"s got the item!" and have it add so much more pressure to kill the guy if it was a difficult mob. It"s a minor touch that has fallen...
