Sleepy Hollow is such a fun show. I love Ichabod's rants about modern society.

Which?

Reminds me of people who rail against Disney because they don't think there should ever be another white Disney Princess because there are already enough and making another one is somehow racist.

I believe it is massless, and weight is dependant on mass, so I don't believe so. I may br wrong.

That explains why I was confused. In English, Blood of Elves is the 2nd witcher book.

Cars 2 was the only subpar one. Toy Story 3 and Monsters University were better than the originals.

I am not familiar with Canada telecommunication market, but it seem to me that you outlined two issues, which are not necessarily related. One is your cable/satellite companies created a monopoly, which should be dealt with like any other monopoly through competition laws. The second is bandwidth caps, which is unpopular among certain circles but legitimate in most cases. We have essentially 3 cellular networks, Rogers, who had the largest network, then Bell and Telus worked together to build enough infrastructure to surpass them jointly. We have 4 television providers, Shaw, Rogers, Telus, and Bell. Shaw and Rogers are cable(an agreement in the 90s between the 2 split the country between Rogers in the east, and Shaw in the west), Telus is fibre optic, and Bell is satellite. We had 3 major telivision networks, CTV, which got bought by Bell, Global, which got bought by Shaw, and CityTV which got bought by Rogers. Telus is basically the provincial telephone providers from all of western Canada merging into a single company. So if you want internet in Canada, all the infrastructure is owned by 4 companies, Rogers, Shaw, Telus, or Bell. So even if you go with an independent provider, they are buying their bandwidth from one of the major companies.

that's what happens when your next gen console is about as powerful as your competitors last-gen systems, and you do a terrible job of marketing it. A co-workers sister bought a Wii-U controller all excited that they made a touchscreen controller for her Wii. And she's not the only one making that kind of mistake.

Holy typos Batman.

Well when you say it like that, that sounds exactly like who this mysteriously unrevealed-so-far 'Clairvoyant' character on Agents of SHIELD could be. Its possible, thought all of Gregory's powers were tech-based. He had nano-machines in his blood that projected force fields which gave him invulnerability and super strength. I believe he could also emit energy using them. If the Clairvoyant is just a nickname rather than describing what he can do, then its possible. I doubt it though, you couldn't have him without Tony, and I don't know if RDJ is interested in an extended arc on Agents of SHIELD.

Beat Banner Saga. God damn thats a bleak game.

From what I've played of Banner Saga I'm glad I backed at $50 so I can get the other 2 if/when they come out.

I was referring to his mark ability, more specifically. Oddly, I've only used it once because I'm never close enough

The concept of a given character gaining experience for making kills is pretty much the standard for turn-based tactical games. If you want to improve a specific character's level you need to deliberately design a situation to set up the ideal conditions for that character to get a kill. I had Alette and Oddleif up to lv3 before Iver was even lv2 (normal.) It can be risky, but it can be worth it, especially to upgrade their armor damage. Rook is a beast, though.[/quote Rookis easily the best character, an archer with double the strength and armor of any other archer, damn. I like the preorder spearman too.]

I'm really enjoying it, its a damned gorgeous game with some fun combat, but if this is what they can do with 700k, I hope they can do a sequel with maybe some publisher backing for some voice acting. This is definitely a game that would benefit greatly from voice acting. It needs a different mechanic for levelling too. My big damage dealers who can kill guys in one hit are all level 4, and my archers are all level one because they can't kill anything.

I too often dream of someone purging the Ultimate universe from existence. The point was that it was an Universe where all bets were off an characters could be killed, but now its more like an Universe populated with edgy teenager version of Superheroes. Its actually the opposite. It started as edgy teenage versions of superheroes and now its all bets are off with characters being killed.The point of it was to do a modern take on the marvel U for new readers. Its actually one of the things I don't like now. They have forgotten that a lot of these characters are young. Reed Richards was like 16 or 17 in the first issue of Ultimate FF, most of the X-Men were just graduating. Kitty was in Peter Parkers high school class, now she's leader of all mutants and its been like a year since she dropped out. One of the problems is they've killed too many people who drive stories, and hhaven't replaced them. Doom, Magneto, Xavier, Cyclops, Gregory Stark(Original character, Tony's brother, business rival, and former director of SHIELD) Red Skull, Hank Pym, Wolverine, etc. All dead, and while they stepped up with Kitty, Reed, and Miles Morales, there's really a shortage of big players now. The Ultimate universe is an excellent example why you shouldn't kill off your villains.

in Canada, the cable/satellite companies own the internet providers and the cell networks, and recently bought the major TV networks. So what's happening now is they're setting bandwidth caps for internet use, then offering similar services to Netflix that don't count towards your cap.

I haven't read any, but Star Lord has some sort of pea**** themed costume now instad of his badass soldier looking one.

Ultimate Spider-Man has been one of Marvel's consistently well written titles, as far as I know, Bendis is still doing the new one so that shouldn't change. The Future Foundation one actually sounds interestig, sadly its Fialkov's brain-child so it will be bad.
-
Current storyline in the Ultimate U has Galactus from 616 rampaging. Supposedly everything Reed had done was in an attempt to prevent his arrival. Aftermath of the story results in 3 new books. Spider-Man, Ultimate Future Foundation (Team of Falcon, Sue Storm, Tony Stark, and Machine Man, who is a Ga Lak Tus drone with I think Bruce Banner's conciousness), and All New Ultimates, which is a team of Miles Morales, Kitty Pride, Cloak and Dagger, Jessica Drew, and Bombshell

In the Ultimate U they broke up after Reed neglected Sue due to his obsession with Dr Doom, Johnny took off to hang with Peter Parker after his dad died, Sue took over the Baxter Building (think tank for under-age geniuses), and Ben joined SHIELD After killing Doom. Eventually Reed's depression, his constantly evolving intellect, and desire to build a perfect world turned him into a villain and he's now responsible for the destruction of Asgard and the absorbtion of most of northern Europe into a futuristic hive-mind.
