    Ryan Reynolds Teases Deadpool Mask - IGN I thought this project was on hold, as Deadpool would have to be in his own universe with no other metas?

    The Flash

    The action wasn't so derpy in this one. Although, I'm curious, could a mushroom cloud get that close to them and not hurt them? edit: He does have an invisible force field around him, that extends to people when he's carrying them. And it gets more powerful the faster he's going. But I've...

    He did that to ensure his place on the roster. He knows he's going to get cut (when was the last time you saw him on TV?). Now he can pull the gay card to protect himself. I mean, for God's sake, the plan for the Royal Rumble was for Titus O'Neal (his tag partner) to be eliminated in one second.

    Revenues went up 5x for DCUO after it went F2P. But of course, they started cranking out much more content at the same time, so who knows?

    A lot has changed, but you can log on (it's F2P) and see how busy it is. And those F2P people are spending money, I'm told (on escrow and dlc's).

    I can remember before the hack, being on what was supposed to be one of the busiest servers (Zero Hour) and not seeing a dot on my radar for three to four hours in Metropolis, Gotham or the Watchtower. I haven't seen a game that dead since Asheron's Call 2. I remember, back when AC2 posted...

    Isn't it the CEO's job to sort through all ideas, and bring them to fruition? You get all sorts of divergent ideas, some great, some good, some bad. A good CEO only surrounds himself with people smarter than he is. In the end, he gets the credit, because he's the guy that greenlit the...

    And that's fine, but it needs to be run more like a business. I own a business now. I sometimes let employees go off the reservation, but then I measure results. I tell them that maybe they shouldn't make that choice again. If I give devs room to make their decisions, and revenues keep...

    I'm not rustled, I would submit to you that the DCUO team is putting out more content on a yearly basis than any of the other teams for DB. It feels like patches like this happen a lot in DC. Here is the newest patch: ----------------------------------------------------------------------...

    Are you kidding me? We've had tons of new content in the last year. They just came out with another batch of raids. You've heard the devs say it, there was nothing wrong with DCUO, other than the glacial pace of new content. There's a lot of content now. But you guys are judging DCUO...

    DCUO has been resurrected from the grave. I played it back when Smed got me in closed beta from the FOH boards, until now. I've seen it go to being packed, to empty, to packed again. Our FOH league at one point had 300 members (I invited people from the server also). There's been a lot of...

    I might get in trouble with Smed for saying this, but this isn't meant to be mean spirited. He told me himself that most of his devs shielded him from the truth, to the point that it made it hard to do business. In particular, when DCUO subs started dropping, he didn't feel that the devs even...

    The people around him don't tell him what's really going on, they tell him what they want him to hear. For instance, in DCUO, speed hacking ruined the game for awhile. Both in PVE and PVP, it was ridiculous. It didn't even make sense to PVP, as there were so many cheaters. Cheaters could...

    To be fair, he's had a lot of games to keep track of, and that's made even harder to do when you report to Japan in person.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    I've talked to Smed a lot over the years, and one thing I know about him is that he gives his people a lot of leeway. He doesn't seem to want to disrupt innovation. So they have a lot of leeway. Giving employees carte blance is fine, but you have to measure results. It seems as if he gives...

    And as you said, that was of Marvel's own making. The industry was so messed up in the 90's. I was one of those guys who bought every variant cover, thinking that it would be a good investment.

    It is a fair world. Marvel sold off the unfettered rights to Spider Man. Everything I heard about the deal was that there was no time limit on it, other than a Spider Man movie has to be made every four years, or the rights revert back to Marvel. No one signs a contract unless they think they...

    You do realize that Sony owns the movie rights to Spider Man, lock stock and barrel, right? From Marvel's perspective, it would be pretty hard to do a Civil War movie, or even a New Avengers movie (that is supposedly planned). And also, it's not good for Marvel's most popular character to not...

    This article explains why Sony did it (Spider-Man: Why Sony Spun a Deal With Marvel). Adjusted for inflation, every successive Spiderman movie has gone down in domestic revenue. And this is at a time when less popular characters, but under the Marvel halo, have done well. 1 Spider-Man...

    Fuck Z Nation. I watched all of it, what nerd won't watch a zombie show, but even in the second half, it was hard to take it serious. I am convinced that the first few episodes are the worst I've seen on a TV show, bar none.

    Arrow

    The problem is that Arrow has had a no meta's rule. So Brick and Canary are shown as normal people. To me, Arrow in the comics is more interesting when he's hopelessly outclassed by a meta. Anyway, the no meta's rule should have changed with The Flash, but doesn't seem like it has. Which is...
