    Looks fun even if it isn't going to be a competitive powerhouse, should be many amusing highlight reels with it.

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    Writers have done the "Joker's come back but THIS time it's different!" story a bunch of times. From the Killing Joke to Grant Morrison's Thin White Duke of Death to the Joker that cut his face off to this latest memetic virus-through-history plague factory that infected all of Gotham with the...

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    He stopped being cool when he got kicked off a flight for being too fat and went on to cry about all over the internet. Even if you don't know it that's the exact moment you stopped liking him.

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    I know that and you know that but the redesign of that character is very clearly trying to drag in younger (and maybe even female) readers who don't really have any idea what is going on. It's not like on the outer cover there's a picture of Batgirl triumphing. It's just this one dark image...

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    It's a fine variant cover, it just doesn't make much business sense to use it after you'vejustrebooted Barbara into a perky teen college something lol selfies. There she is, right there in her new costume, placed back at her lowest point so we can put over the Joker for the Nth time. They should...

    Batman: The Killing Joke (2016)

    Wanting to do a variant cover that referenced The Killing Joke was fine but I don't think it made any sense to go that route. They had just relaunched the Batgirl comic and went on to immediately bury their own character. They should have gone with something that put over both the Joker for...

    Hearthstone

    Looks fine for arena, good for highlight reels, and constructed unplayable. That's not really a bad place for any card to be in.

    Even if the enforcement has been between spotty and non-existent they've been clear that training was a no-no from the very beginning and people do get randomly popped for doing it. KSing/dps racing/whatever is all 100% fine.

    He'll do a good job, the movie will do great, and it'll be what gives the flailing DC cinematic universe some direction.

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    The upside of changing a bunch of stuff around with Suicide Squad is that the amount of people that know anything about Suicide Squad is pretty low.

    There's nothing wrong with unloading it all to a store if you don't want to mess around. At any large event there will be stores set up there that do just that so you don't even have to muck about with shipping. I've personally never had a problem with eBay but I know other people have. My one...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    For me it looks like the opposite. He's just very obviously Will Smith. He's even got the titular line in one of the other trailers.

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Whoever put that trailer together thinks Will Smith is a bigger star than he is. Harley Quinn is mega popular and she looks very well written. Chance that she steals the entire movie is 100%. When the cash for this starts rolling in the suits will be green lighting a Harley stand alone...

    Tanoomba doesn't seem to realize that in the last couple years he's proven himself to be someone that there is no value in having a discussion with. Now and then someone is going to step up to the plate and give it a go but basically we're all just done. We're so done.

    Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

    It's not what they'll do but what you could do would be to make a sequel from the perspective of Emily Blunt's character that begins after she regains her powers in the final part of the last film. You spend maybe the first third of the movie on that and then you go forward with the fallout of...

    Kripp's guess is that all the average players and casuals are hoarding gold for the new set rather than play arena so the only people left playing arena are killers.

    I feel bad for her. She thinks capitalism failed her when it's education that has. She's going to spend a big part of her life, maybe her entire life, angry at the wrong thing. Carrying around all that hatred will burn you up.

    The old Microprose Magic the Gathering computer game had a spell called I think Whimsy that was X random effects for X mana and it was a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing the Yogg highlight reels.

    The comics are pretty good and have been good for a while. I turned on them for a while during Negan's introduction but that story arc ended up being fine and I'm very interested in where the current arc is going.

    I have absolutely no idea why companies are inserting divisive crap like the "really, it's about ethics in X" meme into their video games or comic books or anywhere. Why are you starting a fight among your own audience? Hey, let's just drum up that bad blood again for no reason. For me it's like...

    The Walking Dead

    Yeah, that was my read on the finale. By doing it that way they leave themselves open up until the day they start shooting the next season. It's less about being a cliffhanger for the audience and more about not making a decision until they absolutely have to.

    The folks from the New Generation Project Podcast were at Wrestlemania this year. Since WWE muted the crowd I'm going to have to wait for those guys to get back home to hear just how negative the reaction at the end was.

    I've warmed back up to the comic since but at the time I fucking hated Negan's introduction. He basically breaks the 4th wall explaining how everything is going right back to the shit you thought you were past and then kills a main character in a horrific fashion. This was alright aside from...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Backlash | The Source Suicide Squad looked pretty good aside from Will Smith naming the title. I'm worried that changing shit around because BvS dropped off after the first week is going to result in a worse movie.

    It is definitely true that a couple shitty movies in a row you can tank the franchise. I think that Ben Affleck is going to put out a good Batman movie and that should provide the necessary juice to keep the machine moving.
