  1. I just wanna forget Dark Alliance. We all do. EDIT: Tumblr, but required reading. http://paranoidsbible.tumblr.com/post/114111362724/table-of-content
  2. http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/03/obsidians-chris-avellone-talks-kickstarter-metacritic-and-creative-freedom/ MCA talks to William Usher more in depth.
  3. SWTOR at the request of a friend. I'm probably going to wait until PoE is patched before playing it TBH.
  4. No idea. I must admit that I can't find this huge pedophile community on 8chan. Perhaps they are talking about /cuteboys/, which isn't pedophilia but rather focus on very effeminate mtfs?
  5. I never really watched his stuff. Mind you I was always more into digging or various charity drives than drama. Keeping women out of vidya and honoring the prophet Acid Rain.
  6. https://www.crowdrise.com/lovedatacharity/fundraiser/GameDiviner Think some of you fellows would be interested in this.
  7. That seems more like common sense than any protest. If you have an original version, and you change that version to something different, you are going to have to differentiate the two. FemThor or LadyThor seem like a pretty easy way to distinguish which one is being discussed. Was it this big a deal when they had a black Captain America? Black Captain America made sense, so no one complained. I was apprehensive, but since he's keeping the Falcon stuff I'm fine with it. Edit: Looking at Comichron's data, I have to wonder what the difference between "est. preorder" and "est. sales" is. In addition, the 11 spot in 2008 was selling about 20k more copies than the current run and Thor(#6) was at #4 with 98254 units shipped to comic shops. Comic sales have generally gone down since sometime in 2008, with the frequent relaunches from Big2(particularly Marvel) causing spikes that increase sales of series. It's also interesting to note the prevalence of higher numbers in the higher spots in years prior to 2009. Anyone have digital sale data?
  8. To be fair, I think they're comparing sales to the relaunched Thor: God of Thunder with that Marvel NOW! thing they did in 2012. Still not really comparable, as TGoT had to compete with a bunch of relaunches and a fresher New52 while Thor had fewer new comers to compete with. Probably going to have to wait until we get into trades to see how Thor lasts, but if Marvel's track record is any indication it will be cancelled before issue 40. And it's worth keeping in mind that those are sales through Diamond to comic shops, not direct sales to readers. EDIT: I compared the sales for TGoT on ComicChron to sales of Thor. Not KG's post mentioning sales of the last of The Mighty Thor that ended in 2012.
  9. Cipher is the closest thing to that. I suppose you could rig a wizard to be a battlemage, but it isn't very good at it IMO.
  10. I never heard that actually. I usually kill the guard dogs and guards then stab Cesar.
  11. That font is awful and the art is bad. Jumping ship from the Big2 was the best decision I ever made in regards to comics.
  12. I'm too much of a cheap to get the Titan X. Going to get a new case before anything, but perhaps will grab a new GPU in 2016. Good ramen absolutely. Never did ramen noodle weeks myself, as I knew people who worked at food stores.
  13. So that bluster was to get voters out. Not surprising.
  14. True, but child murder(I'm counting Jason Todd as a child because he was a teenager) is also a fairly abhorrent crime by most moral and legal standards. Furthermore, Batgirl being sexually assaulted by the Joker is at best implied(IIRC Alan Moore said somewhere it wasn't his intention to do that in TKJ and most people I talk to about comics didn't really take it that way) while Jason Todd being brutally beaten and murdered was explicitly stated and shown. Yes, but variant covers don't always match the contents of the comic. By this logic, wouldn't the Skoottie Young baby variants or the selfie variants DC did a while back also draw criticism for not matching the tone of the book?
  15. Do you know who the characters are? Invincible and an alien whose name I can't recall. She raped him because she needed to reproduce and didn't want to have sex with a human. Reposting Why does a cover showcasing the brutal beating and murder of a teenage boy not generate the same outrage?
  16. Money. For some reason he's a popular character and throwing that away would not be good financially for DC. IMO it's a part of the problem with capes comics and their stagnant universes.
  17. Apparently not. I don't really read comics. It's not that I don't like them, it's just that there is so much else to do. It's Cassidy from Preacher. IMO one of the best comics to emerge from 90's Vertigo and well worth the read if you have the time or money.
  18. So an insane person killing a teenager is actually heroic because it's punching up! But that brings us to a conundrum: is Joker attacking Batgirl punching up because he's differently abled or punching down because she's a woman?
  19. The story it is influenced by has Barbara stripped and photographed. Doesn't have anything to do with the content of this cover, but if I had to guess I'd say that's where it comes from. The cover itself just shows Batgirl acting how most people in the DCU would react if held at the mercy of The Joker, who DC has pretty much depicted as the most sadistic villain evah in his modern incarnations.
  20. Most of the outrage about the cover came from people who don't even read comics, as they didn't know what a variant cover was. As we saw from the spider ass thing before this, most of them don't know male characters were put in similar positions on covers. I hope the precedence of raising a stink on twitter until an artist sees the light and decides to self-censor continues until all ungood thoughts are purged. Still wondering where the outrage was for the variant of Batman 37, featuring Jason Todd being beaten to death. I suppose killing teenagers isn't as bad though.
  21. I strongly recommend trying a sweet weather mod called Nevada Skies:http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35998/? Here are some more graphics related mods: NMCs Texture pack EVE - Essential Visual Enhancements Enhanced Camera Already using NS and EVE, and pretty sure that is the texture mod I have installed. Will see about installing the camera mod when I get home. Used Veronica to get into the BoS bunker, then dumped her off. Out of all NV companions she was the only one I found to feel out of place and her dialogue was annoying as hell. Sassy gay doctor was the better Energy Weapons guy anyways.
