X-Men #200 has all the earmarks of an instant classic that will be remembered fondly from generation to generation.

[Gene M.]

Sean. The Spider-Man board actually had a thread that I was enjoying and it died out. Do something.

Was it about the inspiration for Venom?

Gordon saved you from receiving a hundred dumb Rumbler comments on that one.

I don't know which statement is the bigger absurdity. Both make me laugh, though.

There's no thread called "Horrible ideas that make me glad my dad brought me home issues of Captain America and All-Star Squadron instead of Spider-Man back when I was a kid."

All-Star Squadron kick ass! Who is your favorite?

[Gene M.]

SEAN
You're right. I am lying, but the thread about Cameron's Spidey movie gave me a laugh.

[Sean Whitmore]

All-Star Squadron kick ass! Who is your favorite?

It might take him a while to decide. Weren't there, like, 70 heroes on that team?

Course, only about 4 good ones.


SEAN

[Sean Whitmore]

You're right. I am lying, but the thread about Cameron's Spidey movie gave me a laugh.

Short of getting Cameron to come up with some more bad ideas, I'm not sure what I can do to revive it.


SEAN

[Gene M.]

All-Star Squadron kick ass! Who is your favorite?
I'm gonna need to Wikipedia them. :o

It's a little too far back for me to remember. I do remeber that an issue of All-Star Squadron was my first comic ever, though.

Aww, just say Hourman and all will be well.

[Gene M.]

I liked Flash, because I had no idea why he was wearing a funny helmet instead of his all red costume, and I thought Captain Marvel Jr. and Mary Marvel were really cool even though they weren't members of the team.

[Sean Whitmore]

I think three different writers have given three different explanations as to why Jay Garrick wears that hat.

Cronin, you should make two up and do a Top Five list.


SEAN

[Gene M.]

I can see my appreciation of Jay Garrick has killed X-Cres.

Bummer.

Edit: Nevermind.

[Sean Whitmore]

Oh shit, look at that. Bernard, the magical butler from Spider-Man 3, was actually in the first movie too.


SEAN

[Chris Nowlin]

So is it coca-cola and comics you're named after or cocaine & comics?

I've always wondered...

Everybody wonders that, and deep down everybody knows the answer...

I'm back from Phantom! It was the shiznit! Phantom is love!

Of the Opera or Ghost Who Walks?


SEAN

[Pyro]

Of the Opera. Saw it tonight at the Kennedy Center. It was awesome.

[rilokyle]

The guy who will be drawing the Emperor Vulcan mini drew Wonder Woman this week. It was alright but nothing special.

That's disappointing to hear. :( This mini needs a good art team if it wants to sell.

[Sean Whitmore]

It's a good little show, indeed.

Morning fuck-o's

Brian and ICEF getting banned - again.

[twilight]

Isn't this Brian's final ban?

[xgeek52]

i don't consider it but mornin'

[TinMan]

Morning fuck-o's

Brian and ICEF getting banned - again.

Good to see life is consistent!!!!Mornin bitch.

That fuckin guy is always gettin himself banned, he needs to exercise some friggin restraint I tell ya.

Isn't this Brian's final ban?Who knows man, he's been banned at least 5 times as it is.

i don't consider it but mornin'

anybody got the details of brian's and icef's ban...because i was around when it was supposed to happen and gotta tell you it wasn't on xcress...I wanna know what happened as well. Can't say I'll miss ICEF for obvious reasons, but I shall miss Brian, especially if it's premanant.

How you guys wanna bet it's due to the new "no baiting" rule? Brian's always been about the baiting.

[xgeek52]

mornin' tin...

yeah, brian's always baiting but on which thread...he did survivor-o5, first class, and incarnation...

unless he wandered i can't see where he was baiting...it wasn't here -- i think...

[TinMan]

Eh, it's hard to say, you know how Cronin deletes the offending posts most of the time, it coulda been in any of those.

[xgeek52]

you're probable right...non the less i shall miss him...

[We R. Venom]

So X-men and GL were crazy this week!

[TinMan]

So X-men and GL were crazy this week!

Word. The Sinestro Corps was kickass... other than one particular event I can think of. Was a good week for comics.

[twilight]

Goblagh everybody,goblagh.

How're they hangin'?

[TinMan]

Goblagh everybody,goblagh.

How're they hangin'?

To my fuckin knees, cause it's so damn hot and humid here.

[We R. Venom]

Word. The Sinestro Corps was kickass... other than one particular event I can think of. Was a good week for comics.

Word indeed. Word like a motherfucker!

Wait, were there more than one event yesturday? X-men, Sinestro, Countdown?

[twilight]

To my fuckin knees, cause it's so damn hot and humid here.

TMI Tin,TMI.

[xgeek52]

mornin' twi...

what's the word from down under...

[TinMan]

Word indeed. Word like a motherfucker!

Wait, were there more than one event yesturday? X-men, Sinestro, Countdown?

World War Hulk: X-Men #1 came out as well.

[twilight]

mornin' twi...

what's the word from down under...

You have butt cancer.
Consult a doctor ASAP.

[We R. Venom]

World War Hulk: X-Men #1 came out as well.

Ohhh, right right right right, see no no. Marvel wont get me this time. I bought, House of M: Spidey, FF, Ironman, Captain America, and Hulk last time and, Civeil war frontline. Let's just say I shouldnt have. Never doing that again. If WWH: X is good, ill get the trades.

[Arrjay]

Ahoy there fuckbags.

How goes it?

T-Minus 3 days until my life is nothing but golf, beer and strippers!

You becoming a senator?

Fucking classic!

[TinMan]

I ain't buying all of WWH, the only thing I'm buying is the X-Men tie-in mini cause I wanna see an Astonishing/Hulk knockdown drag out something fierce. Other than that, I'mma trade wait for WWH and once I read that, if I dig it, maybe I'll get the tie-in TPB's.

However, I'm buying EVERYTHING that has to do with the X-Men crossover, Sinestro Corps. and Annihilation. Those three events are making my dick throb. :p

[Arrjay]

I'm gonna need to Wikipedia them. :o

It's a little too far back for me to remember. I do remeber that an issue of All-Star Squadron was my first comic ever, though.

My first comic ever was an 'Adventures Of Superman' comic.

The second ever was a 'Flash: The Fastest Man' Alive comic.

What's creeepy is that my mum has a photo of me reading that first Supes comic. Seriously, I find that creepy...

[Arrjay]

Isn't this Brian's final ban?

I was wondering that myself.

It's his sixth, right?

[TinMan]

My first comic ever was an 'Adventures Of Superman' comic.

The second ever was a 'Flash: The Fastest Man' Alive comic.

What's creeepy is that my mum has a photo of me reading that first Supes comic. Seriously, I find that creepy...

She probably has pictures of you in the nude eating jello as well doesn't she? Freak!!

P.S. two points to the person that can identify the movie that the "nude jello eating" references.

[Arrjay]

Goblagh everybody,goblagh.

How're they hangin'?

They hang well young Jedi.

How's life down-chunder?

[xgeek52]

somebody gotta know about brian...

he's my vacarious thrill connection when it comes to scotch...

i would hate to see him gone forever...

[We R. Venom]

Jeez, what did he say now?

[Arrjay]

I'm trade-waiting for W.W.H. and I'll only buy the tie-ins if they prove to be positively salubrious. I got burned from House Of M and that has resulted in me trimming what I pick up from event-based stories. Eg; when Civil War happened I only picked up Road To Civil War and Civil War. No tie-ins.

But I'd seriously give my left nut to see Whedon's team throw down against Hulk. That's a tie-in I'd pick up.

Yup, there's a pretty good scene at the end of issue one with the Astonishing team showing up, so I'm hoping we're gonna get some wicked ass beatin in the next 2 issues.

[xgeek52]

that's what we wanna know...

i was around yesterday but i haven't seen (or read) anything on this thread or any other that would get him banned...

it had to have happen on a thread i don't visit...

[Arrjay]

It very well could've happened on a thread you read.

As mentioned before; Lord Cronin deletes the offending post/s when a ban occurs so said offensive posts will be undetectable by now.

[blinkinrogue]

transformers i was surprised was quite good except for the part of (sorry i clicked the send button without erasing this part sorry )

[xgeek52]

i forgot about that arrjay...

*sighs*

he may not be back...

[The Lucky One]

Shoot, I was coming to this thread to ask what Brian did that got him banned. And if it was "pernament," as Popeye used to say.

-D

[Arrjay]

You did.

So I didn't even realize Transformers was out yet.

:confused:

[Arrjay]

He got banned for general douchery I believe.

No idea if it's permanent though.

:confused:

i just watched it a few hours ago... its worth my money and a lot better than the other films shown this year IMO.

Blinkinrogue has killed my favorite thread. Hence...

[Cayman]

That's disappointing to hear. :( This mini needs a good art team if it wants to sell.

It's like a billion times better than Billy Tan though. His art puts me off.

[Cayman]

Remember that Phantom 20-something cartoon they had where the Phantom was in the future? I really liked that one.

I wonder if it's on DVD.

[Arrjay]

Remember that Phantom 20-something cartoon they had where the Phantom was in the future? I really liked that one.

Yeah I remember that. It was cool.

I was a huge fan of the black and white Phantom comics as a kid.

Wasn't there a color U.S release Phantom comic in recent years?

[Cayman]

Yeah I remember that. It was cool.

Yeah, there's one that comes out from the company called Moonstone. I haven't picked it up but the writer posts on the YABS board.

[Gene M.]

Ahoy dudes. How goes it?

[Cayman]

Ahoy dudes. How goes it?

Not bad. Previews promised me a sneak peek at Infinity Inc. on DC's website and it ain't there though. Grrr.

[Arrjay]

Ahoy dudes. How goes it?

It goes quasi-swimmingly.

How's the art-life comrade?

[We R. Venom]

Awesome1 I couldn't have a better week. No, not true. Next week will be better.

[Gene M.]

That sucks, man. I'm waiting for the new Booster Gold series, myself.

How's the art-life comrade?
The art-life is going well, but the job life isn't. The teachers union mihgt go on strike, and somehow, despite not being part of this union, my going to work would be considered crossing the picket line. That leaves me with the choice of not getting paid while the strike is going on, or crossing the line and pissing off my bosses and professors royally. Fun stuff.

[Arrjay]

Hell yeah. I also have a rather large box of comics on the way, so that'll keep me busy.

Punisher 44,45,46,47,48
Wolverine 51,52,53,54
Amazing Spider-man 538,539,540,541
Cable/Deadpool 37,38,39,40,41,42
Astonishing X-men 20,21

That's a lot of comics mate.

Should be a heap of fun.

I'm actually gonna have to trim the amount of books I read over the coming months due to being jobless for a bit.

I'm still gonna read the entire Ultimate Universe but from 616 I'm just gonna pick up Astonishing, Uncanny and Adjectiveless.

Everyone should go and look at my friend Lewis' art thread on the NEF.

He's the best fifteen year old I've ever met.

I'm glad he's got a co-writer for it. I like Johns on Teen Titans up until the crossover with the Outsiders, but he hasn't done much for me since then.

We're leaving Florida on July 30th. Should be in Portland about 5 days later.

Yeah, one of the downsides of being an art student is that you really only have money for comics a few times a year. Luckily, the place I order from
discounts everything 25%.

[Gene M.]

Who's that? I haven't been keeping up since Superboy shaved his head and DC decided to introduce a Braniac in a thong.

[Cayman]

Adam Beechen. Luckily he got fired after like two issues and will be replaced with Sean McKeever at issue 50. He's dire.

That's pretty decent.

[Cayman]

I may have to go the online comic route. I want so many comics and they are so expensive.

I kind of like to go to the shop each week though.

[Gene M.]

Adam Beechen. Luckily he got fired after like two issues and will be replaced with Sean McKeever at issue 50. He's dire.
Cool. That's when Blue Beetle shows up in the book, right? I might have to pick that up.

[Kyle's Mom] Whatwhatwhat? [/Kyle's Mom]
There was a really bad crossover between Titans and Outsiders where one of the villains is a thong wearing female Brainiac. We also get to see a naked Dick Grayson surrounded by condom wrappers. It sucked.

[Gene M.]

It's called Comic Books 101. They were the shop I went to in undergrad, and eventually they became a mail order business with a 25% discount.

The Wii is fun as well. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!! !!

I'll always love the Mario Kart from the SNES. There's nothing better than hitting my brother with a red turtle shell right before he crosses the finsh line and passing him for the win.

I do that to my wife as often as possible.

Brightens my day.

In fact, it could be said that Mario Kart (regardless of what system it appears on) has enriched my life exponentially.

Hey, he's the older brother so he should have figured out that stuff by himself. I'm usually not a very competitive person, except with my brother. I must beat him!

[Arrjay]

I'm incredibly competitive in video games.

This is not the case in any other part of my life.

What's funny is that I actually suck at most games.

Go figure.

Pokemon? Does that count?

[Nyssane]

Evasive tactics are earned. They are not given.

I tricked many-a people in the original Mario Kart into running over banana peels. "You have to run over them, they give you extra speed!" "Okay...WTF?!?!" "Haw haw haw haw!!!"

Speaking of Smash Bros. Brawl, if I don't get Toad, Birdo, or Impa as playable characters, at least one of them, I will be so so sad. :(

[rilokyle]

I hate all dentists. Not only do I have to get all my wisdom teeth out, I also have a cavity AND have to get one of my fillings fixed. FUCK.

And today started out soo good too.... :evilangry

[ExtraEpidermis]

Speaking of Smash Bros. Brawl, if I don't get Toad, Birdo, or Impa as playable characters, at least one of them, I will be so so sad. :(

I could see Birdo, as a Yoshi clone if nothing else, but Toad I think would be the suck. He's just so small and useless. I don't know. Maybe they can find some way to make him a beast. And Impa yeah I'd rather see Midna but to each his own.

[Pach!]

I have this unexplainable love for Birdo and Drybones. I want them to be in every Mario game.

Impa....from Ocarina of Time? Because that would be awesome. Though I hated how her body moved before she threw whatever it was that made her disappear. I'd always imagine that her arm was going to break off her body while still holding that disappearing shit, and she would be left with only one arm and still in the same spot and have to be all "Errr...OK..." and just run away while Link would watch all confused.

Well, the Japs love Birdo, but yeah... he would be really similar to Yoshi.

Toad is an iconic Mario character and I think he'd make a good character to play as. He's always been my favorite Nintendo star, and I mean... the Ice Climbers and Ness are all small but effective fighters. DON'T CRUSH MY DREAMS OF HAVING TOAD! :( Really, I just want the "Big 8" Mario characters in Smash Bros. (Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Wario).

I have this unexplainable love for Birdo and Drybones. I want them to be in every Mario game.

Dry Bones would be awesome too! OR A BLOOPER! Bloopers and Cheep-Cheeps are my favorite generic enemies. Also, really obscure, but I'd kill to see Tryclyde from Mario 2 again. I loved him in the Super Mario show.

And yeah... Impa from OoT. In the other Zelda games, she's either an old woman or a really fat woman. I'd be down for the fat woman, but everyone thinks of her OoT look when they think of her. All I really want is a female character who uses physical force instead of magic or weapons. Impa's one badass tough bitch and she'd be awesome in it.

While we're on Zelda characters, I'd kill to see Twinrova as a type of Ice Climber duo that merge into the single fighter (a la Zelda/Sheik).

[rilokyle]

1) Favorite movie of all time?
Clueless, hands down.

2) Favorite movie of the last couple years?
Probably Mean Girls. "Stop trying to make fetch happen. It's not going to happen."

3) Favorite comic of all time (issue, run, mini, tpb, whatever)?
The first 9 issues of Fathom, volume one.

4) Favorite comic of the last couple years?
X-Men #180- "What Lorna Saw, pt. 1". For obvious reasons. I've also really enjoyed TopCow's Hunter-Killer series too.

5) Favorite CD of all time (no Greatest Hits!!!)?
This one is hard. Hmmmmmm. Something Corporate's "North" CD has always been a favorite of mine. Oh, and while not musically amazing, Victoria Beckham's solo album is one my most prized posessions. I got it when I was in London, and I LOVE it.

6) Favorite CD of the last couple years?
The Instant Star soundtracks. Alexz Johnson might be my favorite singer ever.

7) Favorite TV show of all time?
The Tribe. I can't get enough of that shit! Does anyone else know this show? It's not really popular in the US. Melrose Place is always a good time too.

8) Favorite TV show of the last couple years?
Point Pleasant. It got cancelled WAY too soon.

9) Favorite novel of all time?
I've always loved Judy Blume's "Just As Long As We're Together."

10) Favorite novel of the last couple years?
Max Tucker's "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell."

11) Favorite video game of all time?
Sonic the Hedgehog for Sega Genesis.

Sounds about right.

You know ona complete side tangent type thingy, what is the obssession with her and Justine Timberlake at the moment in the US?

Neither are really talented as such yet they are praised so much by US media...and here too, I mean the only way Beyonce got to #1 with that duet thing she did with Shakira was because of the remix by Freemasons.

[Cayman]

They make good pop music that is enjoyed by pop and R&B fans and actually have some charisma.

[Sophisticated_Gamer]

WoW, I just saw the movie inside man, and it was pretty amazing. Great plot, and even a better ending :D

[Arrjay]

Pop and R&B along with Modern/New Country and thoughtless Hip-Hop are (in my opinion of course) the shittiest forms of music on the face of the entire fucking planet.

[Faded]

Victoria Beckham's solo album is one my most prized posessions. I got it when I was in London, and I LOVE it.

I heard it was good. Even the everhating posters at dlisted liked it. I want it! Spice Girls reunion!

Awesomely underrated choice.

Sorry. I don't like New Edition either.

I dig The Postal Service, Death Cab For Cutite & The Decemberists.

That's about as poppy as my listening gets.

[Brian Cronin]

I like the fact that the following: It is part of the fucking story you bint. ES ties into Messiah Complex and this ties into that, it's part of the greater story. Maybe you should just start an ES #1 thread so us "flicking fanboys" can go somewhere else. You know some days you act like a decent person and other days you act like a cunt who needs a truck dropped on her. Try not flinging insults around like your favorite character does her tits.apparently didn't faze any of you.

Trigun

Backup. I didn't see all of the game but the only well known player I saw was Robinho. But Brazil is Brazil ... they play with their rookies to give them more experience. They are all nervous in the beginning but at the end they kick everyone else's ass. Today it's Argentina USA...I will root for USA for all you americans!

I had a hospital bill of just under $40,000 two years ago and ended up only having the pay my $250 deductible plus another $100 for the hospital stay. Insurance can be great!

[Pro]

Screwed myself on this job i'm working on, in hindsight i worked 3X longer on it than expected and i messed up my arm doing all the work. Really not worth it.

My out of pocket in $2500, and I've already paid like $600 so I shouldn't panic too much. Hospitals are freakin' expensive.

[caney]

Hospitals are freakin' expensive.

Yeah it's crazy. When you see it all itemized it's shocking. Simple little tests that take 5 minutes cost hundreds of dollars. You could get an awesome hotel room and hire a few people to take care of you for the amount they charge per day just to be in a hospital room.

And Hi-Fi and Omega Alpha if you're there...I'm trying to remember the name of this really young soccer player that's supposed to be the next Ronaldinho. Do you guys know what I'm talking about?

Who exactly? There's Alexandre Pato, from Internacional, who's only 17, and he seems to be the best player around his age. But there are a few others young players that might have been labeled as "the next Ronaldinho", like people always label someone as the next Michael Jordan.

Hey, Andres. I saw that Mexico beat Brazil 2-0 yesterday. Do you know if Brazil was using their top team, or was it just backups?

Brazil was missing it's two top stars, the goalkeeper and the team's captain. But otherwise it was a complete team.

[Ryan K]

It was in X-cres. That particular post is on page 310, but it started before that.

Ah, that was during the period I got spoiled, got pissed, and left.

So is Brian permanently banned now?

Maybe it was him. Can't remember... I met him in the airport in Colombia and I wanted to tell my dad but I can't remember his name.

No, but I should be. I was honestly joking when I told her she needed something to happen to her. Lately her and I have been getting along fine, she's off my ignore list. But still, I porbably should have put some kind emoticon and all. Lord Cronin had every reason to ban me based on past arguements I've had with her. My language was strong, but it wasn't suppose to be taken serious. I'm gonna kinda stay away for while, drop my posting by a lot. I really shouldn't even be here and I'm thankful that I still am b/c I do like you folks I really don't enjoy making Cronin angry. I know the "it was a joke" line seems hallow and meaningless now, but it really was. So again I'm sorry. Talk to ya'll later.

Awesomely underrated choice.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that thinks so. :D

[ExtraEpidermis]

Pop and R&B along with Modern/New Country and thoughtless Hip-Hop are (in my opinion of course) the shittiest forms of music on the face of the entire fucking planet.

:eek: Hold up! Pop, Modern/New Country and Rap I could understand but Hip-hop is just unexplainable. Maybe I'm only tripping so hard because I make sure to differentiate between the two, rap being the more ignorant and thoughtless of the two, but surely there's some MCs out there you like. Common? Kanye West? The Roots? Nas?! He even said hip-hop is dying!

[Ice_Cold_Emma_Frost]

Well if they're anything like Beyonce hiphop is just ripping off successful Euro-Australians

[Ryan K]

Mike Carey's Re-Gifters was much much better than The Plain Janes.

Here's the deal.

I like unconventional, underground Hip-Hop.

I hate that shit where dudes talk about their money, their jewelry or the rims on their fucking car and don't even get me started on their mistreatment and objectification of women.

Wow... Teen Titans was fucking terrible this month. Cassie and Supergirl need to die.

[Ice_Cold_Emma_Frost]

It wasn't them it was the writing that whole whispering thing she did with Robin and Tim completely ignoring her

The Miss Martain/Supergirl fight was good tho
