X-Crescence X: Crescence

[Brian Cronin]

Welcome to X-Crescence, which is from the word excrescence, which is defined as "An outgrowth or enlargement, especially an abnormal one, such as a wart."

Well, this is an outgrowth from the X-Boards proper.

This is where you pretty much can post whatever you want.

Almost anything goes here.

You can have arguments here, you can talk nonsense here, you can insult someone, you can use profanity, can talk about any topic that you would like.

Essentially, you'd have to do something pretty damn bad before I ever even got involved moderating this thread.

So, basically, it is yours to do with as you please, so, well, enjoy.

-Brian

[The Fury]

Wow... this is sudden.

Nice title. :D

Oh and hurrah for first post (behind Cronin of course).

[Karl J. Barnes]

First post! First Post!!

Wow..sudden.

Damn YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I AM NOT going to edit my first post on the thread!

[Hi-Fi]

i like the new title.

[Brian Cronin]

Brian, what do you mean by this?

I read his post as saying that threads with large post counts would not affect CBR.

What he actually said was that he just did not plan on ever pruning threads, but that threads with large post counts COULD pose a problem (as the problem with the boards a few months back was specifically ONE thread that had a lot of posts on it).

So when I realized I read it wrong, I closed X-Cres 9.

-Brian

[Jake V]

I've always wondered what that sort of thing would be.

I think with this version of X-Cres, I'm gonna try to find out how far one has to go to get this place moderated.

To bad Titan Slade got banned, I coulda tested some stuff out on him.

[Brian Cronin]

I think borderline criminal stuff would be what it would take.

I once deleted a post that made reference to "raping" someone.

Lots of boards. Avengers, Marvel, Spider-Man, Ultimate, X-Men, Superman, DCU, Wildstorm, Community, Music, TV/Movies, Games. I still post in all of them.

Except rumbles. Fuck that place.

[mattbib]

Cool, I have a job interview, and it's practically a definite, on Wednesday, and the place is pretty close by. It pays significantly less than I used to get (though much more than I've been making on unemployment). So I figured it'd be a good job to just take for the interim until something better paying comes along.

I'm just not a fan of the whole "my character can beat up your character" fanboy mentality that board breeds. I once got in an argument with a guy who maintained that comics can't be literature that annoyed me so much I asked Cronin to ban me from there. I don't even see the Rumbles board anymore.

Why are you dismissing it when it has not even been released yet?

That would be like me saying that Son of M obviously does not count, becuase I do not want it to.

But...you can do all the praying you want...you never know, it might not be in coninuity.

In Predator 2, an Alien Queen skull was in the Predator trophy room.

The idea of AvP is a Good One. The execution in film, apparently not so much.

I myself think Poccy would definitely look up Dracula. Just as I enjoyed the X-men/Excalibur novel "Soul Killer" with Dracula and Belasco...

I got to see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at the Alamo Drafthouse. Nothing like beer and fried things while watching a children's movie.

I think it was pretty violent for children all things considered. Thank god the theater didn't allow children under 6 after 6. The management are my heros.

Moriarty from Ain't it Cool News was on Attack of the Show and has seen the final cut of V for Vendetta. He was very impressed and felt it kept true to the spirit of Alan Moore. For once. He said he was impressed with WB for putting this out.

Until a month before it opens and they say, "Oh shit! we're releasing a movie about a terrorist? What were we smoking?"

And do a quick edit.

Shhhhh!!!!! No, I haven't!! I have searched high and low. I am pretty sure we put it somewhere safe, but don't remember where safe is! I had thought I told her to put it on the refrigerator, so I am wondering if Xavier's mom did something with it during her cleaning frenzy. I feel really bad, cause she put a lot of effort into it.

[slively]

Meanwhile, I have also pulled out the Uncanny X-Men: The New Age trades. Those are Claremont. Was that what I was supposed to be reading in the first place? Cause I already had those!! Now I am stuck with Chuck Austen junk.

And don't forget to get the original Excalibur trade!

Haley? She knows I have not been able to find it. She briefly tried to re-draw it, but got really frustrated and upset when the second attempt did not go well, so she threw it away and refuses to try again.

I don't know what to do! I feel horrible about it.

Do you know the title of the original Excalibur trade? I will get that. I want to read his original run to, cause I hate not being able to take part in converstations. But I cannot get the single issues. So I am going to have to try to piece it together somehow with trades. Except I will be getting the 40 Years of X-Men DVD-ROM, which will have every issue ever published. So if I have to I can fill in the blanks there.

I mainly wanted that for the searchable part tho. I don't fancy reading comics on the computer.

The question I have here is....what order are these? I like reading things in the proper order. So of all the trades I have mentioned, what order should they be read in?

[slively]

I'm sorry to hear that... poor Haley.

Have you asked Xavier to see if he saved it from his mother's wrath?

No, I haven't. But he had no clue about any of the other things she put away, so I doubt he would know. More than likely I am the one who lost it. Although I did tell her specifically to put it on the refrigerator to keep it safe and from getting lost until I was done with mine and ready to scan them.

She never listens. I knew if it were not put somewhere like that, it would end up lost. We are going to be spending the week between Christmas and New Year's cleaning up and organizing all of my stuff. I seriously need to get my life in order.

[Pepsigirl]

Hey, new X-Cres!

And I ordered some tickets off Ticketmaster (and had to pay all those annoying convenience charges, which leads me to ask, what's so convenient about convenience charges?), only I accidentally entered the wrong email address so now I have to wait for Customer Service to email me back about getting my tickets sent to the right one. :mad:

Well, I am not supposed to open them until Christmas, but I cheated and opened them anyway :o Cause if there were going to be any reading material in there, I wanted to take it with me on my trip Sat!

So I got the Ave Q soundtrack (YAY!!) and I do not know who gave it to me!! There was no name. It came from the LWW Secret Santa.

From CBR, I got a whole bunch of X-Men minimates! I love them!! I had already bought the Kubrick set, which came yesterday, and Cyclops and Phoenix, but now I got Gajin Wolverine & Mariko, Cable & Bishop, Rogue & Mystique, and New Wolverine and Phoenix!! They are so cute. I shall take a group photo when my new digital camera comes.

I also got The Unofficial Patricia Cornwell Companion, which I find fascinating, because I did not even know there was one. I am intrigued to find out why this was included! I did not do a real list, because I had trouble thinking of things to include, but I did put the minimates. But the book was completely the choice of my Secret Santa. :)

:o I know! But...but...I am going away!! So I had to open them now!! And they were totally cool!! I love them. :)

[slively]

Plus, we let Haley open her presents tonight as well, so it just felt right!

She got the FF4 dvd. There is a funny moment in the deleted scenes where Reed transform his head into Wolverine's. :D

[slively]

Oh!! And it has a trailer for the Ultimate Avengers dvd! I want it.

Wolf, that Mystery Showcase thingy you were asking me about is solicited in this month's previews, so that means it will most likely be released in 2 months. :)

[mattbib]

Sandra, I got my two issues of Sentinel! Thanks.

[Brian M.]

GOD DAMMIT I HATE IGNORANT ASSHOLES.

Look I consider myself a very open minded and level headed person and I love talking politics but it's statements like the one left in that Apoc. Comesback thread that just fucking make me wanna punch a hippie.

[The Lucky One]

I'd like to punch a hippie and a fundamentalist, so I guess I'm about where I need to be.

Hey, everyone. Another long night at Barnes & Noble, but at least I have tomorrow and Saturday off. Gotta work Christmas Eve, though... bleh. Nobody'd better come into the store, or I'm kicking names and taking ass.

I got luck and got today and tomorrow off. I've got one more final tomorrow and it'll be home free. I got lucky and got off the 21st-26th so I can go home for X-Mas. My momma will be soooo happy. Plus I can blow up something cool with my friends.

If they marry off Storm to the Black Panther so she can just be an addendum to what I consider a lesser hero in the Marvel pantheon, I will be very, very disgruntled and shall change my avatar forever. :mad:

New X-Cres, eh? Not bad. But something's off. Something's missing...

[Uncle Nobs]

Howdy all. Work sucked again tonight. The customers really piss me off. How are you all?
Where & what is "work" for you?

[Shadow Crawler]

Work is for Borders at the mall. It ain't the bookstore that sucks, it's the calendar kiosks that suck.

[Uncle Nobs]

It seems like you and I are all alone in here, Shadow Crawler. I say we vent our righteous anger and create utter mayhem. I've got LOADS of it stored up.

First, we'll post pictures that'll get us banned tomorrow when Brian sees them. Not those "I found an offensive image on the web" ones. The ones where we race to take REALLY bad pics and post them ASAP. Then we'll unload all our venom about everyone who's ever wronged us on the boards. We'll call them out by name and when we run out of semi-legitimate complaints about them, we'll just make up some lies. Of course, I'll just have to make up lies from the start because I'm not really pissed at anyone on the boards, but that's irrelevant. Then we'll exhaustively google each oh-so-deserving victim until we find some personal info on them. We'll post that up for everyone to see. Then tomorrow, when Brian bans us, we'll go start our own website for punk rock anger and occasional talk about comics and Brian won't be invited. If I don't get a personal phone call from you in 2 minutes, I'll assume that's a 'yes' and I'll start the plan. GO!

[traxler]

I extensively Googled me quite recently,
and a pathetic amount of info came up. :(

[Uncle Nobs]

Yeah, people with my name outdo me in all kinds of interesting ways. I found a major league pitcher, a snowboarder, a bodybuilder, and a competitive go-cart racer.

Maybe I would've found more about myself if I'd looked under "guy who talks to himself on X-Cres at 1:30 in the morning."

[LoneWolf21]

You could try "Guy who took over CBR's 198".

[traxler]

"guy with flashing Av I cannot look at."

[Uncle Nobs]

You could try "Guy who took over CBR's 198".
Alright, alright, I can take a hint. CHEEZ!

I make lies up about people all the time. Then end up with a five across the face. :(

Hey, if people are going to get it wrong...at least get it wrong right. :)

[venuscameback]

Well, I am not supposed to open them until Christmas, but I cheated and opened them anyway :o Cause if there were going to be any reading material in there, I wanted to take it with me on my trip Sat!

So I got the Ave Q soundtrack (YAY!!) and I do not know who gave it to me!! There was no name. It came from the LWW Secret Santa.

From CBR, I got a whole bunch of X-Men minimates! I love them!! I had already bought the Kubrick set, which came yesterday, and Cyclops and Phoenix, but now I got Gajin Wolverine & Mariko, Cable & Bishop, Rogue & Mystique, and New Wolverine and Phoenix!! They are so cute. I shall take a group photo when my new digital camera comes.

I also got The Unofficial Patricia Cornwell Companion, which I find fascinating, because I did not even know there was one. I am intrigued to find out why this was included! I did not do a real list, because I had trouble thinking of things to include, but I did put the minimates. But the book was completely the choice of my Secret Santa. :)

I know who your LWW Secret Santa was :evilsmile

the Minimates are adorable, thanks for posting the pic of the Kubrick set. Magneto and xavier look awesome.

venus (who is finding it hard to resist the urge to open his LWW Secret Santa gift ... his CBR one has yet to arrive)

[Arrjay]

Cool, I have a job interview, and it's practically a definite, on Wednesday, and the place is pretty close by. It pays significantly less than I used to get (though much more than I've been making on unemployment). So I figured it'd be a good job to just take for the interim until something better paying comes along.

Congratulations Matt. Good luck. :)


I extensively Googled me quite recently,
and a pathetic amount of info came up. :(

I've done the same. Nothing about me. Which is probably a good thing.
Like Uncle Nobs all I've found is shit about successful imposters who use my name. They're obviously not the real me because if so they would be total and utter failures with bad social skills and tendencies to drink heavily thereby leaving them with negative repurcussions for many days later. :eek:

[traxler]

Were they nuns? Nuns with battle-axes?

Cay
A franciscan brother and the local parish priest.
The franciscans actualy do a lot of good work with the homeless in Milan.
I live near the Stazione Centrale, and I see them out in all weathers and at all hours.
They set a good example of brotherly love.
The priest is a tosser.

[Atomic Mongoose]

Jack and dandy thanks.
Is the new job still interesting, or is it starting to feel like work?

I love it, actually. Damn good money, and plenty of entertainment, thanks to the crazies we get.

Yesterday, we were really busy, so when clients entered the store, we had to have them sign in on a waitlist, before a rep could get to them. This crazy old guy was waiting for about five minutes, and then blew up at me with:

Crazy Guy: "Where's your bathroom!?!?!?"
Me: "We don't have a public one since it is in the back with all our inventory."
Crazy Guy: "Well if you don't let me use it right now, I'm gonna piss all over your floor!!!"

Cell phones just seem like a bad subject with a lot of people. The topic seems to just put them in a wretched mood, and having to come down to the store just pisses them off worse (even if the problem they're having is, in fact, THEIR fault). Add "cell phones" to the "religion & politics" list of things not to talk about in social situations. :rolleyes:

[Beast]

I've threatened that; last year, when I was having my gennelmen's problems. :o

I get reps in about once a week offering us deals for company phones; THAT's driving me a bit mad.
None of them are even funny, charming or good looking.
"Call yourself a rep, uh? You ain't even PRETTY:"

But I LOVE my new Samsung, even though I still haven't worked out half the functions.

What service are the reps selling? I work for Cingular, and we have a whole different department for corporate sales/accounts.

I agree with some people not being the best reps. If you're going to sell something to people, you kind of need to have some amount of charisma. Some of the people I work with have all the personality of a soggy paper bag.

What new Samsung do you have? One of my company phones I got the other day is a Samsung D357 (the Push-to-Talk phone). Not as great features as say, a Motorola, but I like the menu system a lot better.

Most of them are about 10 years old and have dirty shoes.

SGH E33ON is a good phone. Bluetooth is great, but I can live without it... mostly because I'm hesitant to walk around with a glowing blue earpiece, and looking like I'm talking to myself. Even worse are those Bluetooth RAZRWIRE shades from Oakley... I guess they're great if you want to look like a tool...

A lot of people hate Motorola because their older models were really faulty and would crap out frequently. Their newer batch of phones (V551, V557, RAZR V3, etc.) have been awesome and are the most popular phone we sell. Very few problems with them so far. Motorola is also kind of the "Mac" of the cell phone world - they've got a very different menu system and design that just isn't for everybody.

Hm. So everyone's into pleasant chit-chat this morning, are they? That's super.

In case you didn't notice, Shadow Crawler and I led a bloody revolt against X-Cres last night. You were all publicly outed as communists and Carrot Top fans. We signed you all up for internet dating services for the morbidly obese. We told all the terribly unoriginal punks in your communities who are likely to leave flaming bags of shit on your doorsteps that you said skateboards are for pussies. I set my computer on fire and grinned as you bastards melted like nacho cheese. Revolt! Revolution! Riot! Richard Simmons!

Tell 'em, Shadow Crawler! Tell 'em how you set your computer on fire and watched them burn!

For some reason I'm not yet in the holiday mood...which is unusual for me. I'm done 90% of my shopping. But I haven't put up our tree yet. I'll be in NYC tomorrow so hopefully that'll get me there.

So...given the holiday season I'll add an extra day to this month's XPotM voting. So instead of four days of voting there'll be five, starting on December 27 and ending at midnight EST on New Year's Eve. Then X-Poster of the Year voting will begin on the 1st and run through the 5th (or 6th?).

Remember, anyone elected as XPotM during 2005 is eligible for XPotY.

I have a hard time trusting religious people. they tend to let bigots speak for them and thus I think they label is well deserved. If moderate christians stood up to the facist right wing of their churches then I think there wouldn't be such a stigma against them. But that's just my pair of red pennies.

not saying that all of them are bad, TLO is a good example of one that isn't all bad! :D but when someone says Christian, I automatically think bigot. It's a bias and I can own that.

I've been told that I'm going to hell by more Christians than I care to admit. All because I'm an atheist. Nice threat...except I don't believe in hell.

Yeah. Me neither.

As aggravating as it can be sometimes I actually try to just live and let live. Y'know, to each their own. Sometimes some religious people can be very pushy about following their path. But only some. And not all the time.

Gah... see, now that's just wrong. Saying that, saying it's a given, is essentially taking God's power upon yourself, and no one should ever do that. I won't lie and say I can understand the atheist mentality (no offense, I just believe in things like True Love (tm) and other higher concepts that are beyond the ability of science to explain), and I'd certainly argue steadfastly for my religion in an actual debate, but just as I expect others to respect my beliefs, I'd never tell you you're going to Hell. On behalf of intelligent, non-judgmental Christians everywhere (okay, probably not in Texas), sorry to hear that.

That last part was funny.

Thanks for being so cool about it Lucky.

Not believing in Hell doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That would suck for atheists. And for those of us who haven't truly commited our faith.

[Beast]

I've also gotten the 'You're going to hell for not going to church, believing in God/Jesus, accepting that Jesus died for my sins' etc. from a couple of close friends. It eventually got so bad that I broke off friendships with both of them. Heh. Would have loved to have known what they thought about me being gay also. ;)

[The Fury]

Gonna miss talking crap with you people.

Cheers everyone!
As will we with you.


but when someone says Christian, I automatically think bigot. It's a bias and I can own that.
Now this makes me sad.

Not becuase I am a Christian, (I am though, not at all a strong one...Infact I wouldn't even same I am one, if it wasn't for the fact that I'm confirmed...but hey, at least I ain't Catholic) But becuase my name is Kristian...:)

I actually find it very concerning that people are actually saying these things, I have never had someone say to me I'm going to hell for something. It's an odd thing to do.

It's an odd thing to do.Well, I don't think people mean to be insulting when they say stuff like this. It's just that, based on what they believe, to them what they're saying is true. But why they'd choose to point out that someone is damned is beyond me. Are these people truly concerned for your souls?

I presume the reason is either to A) act out one's own ugly, hateful feelings while still remaining "good Christians," or B) scare the offender into shaping up. Except the former is absolutely a wretched thing to do, and the latter tends to not work on atheists, and just drive away people who are undecided.

*shrugs* We're all going to meet the Man (or Woman) Upstairs at some point... I'm just hoping to do it without betraying my beliefs OR trampling anyone else's. Guess that's harder for some than others, though.

Add to this that most religions of the world teach to understand and respect all other people beliefs. It means that they are going against that.

I do realize that there are plenty of Christians who do not force their beliefs upon others. Unfortunately, I've been surrounded by several fanatics throughout my young life and while they don't outwardly proclaim to hate me, have no qualms about telling me to my face that they feel sorry for me and that it's eternal damnation for me. As if I'll come to my senses or something.

It started in High School when I stood up for my beliefs and argued against the concept of creation. After that, it's just been a trickle of people I meet through work and gatherings. I don't shove my non-belief down other's throats, but in the course of getting to know someone, you let things like that be known.

I make it sound like a lot of people. It's really just a handful, but those handful were interesting types. These are the same sorts that will fervently believe Buddhists, Jews, Hindus, etc...are also unenlightened and going down the same path as I. :T

For a personal experiment in college, I joined up a very religious organization on college to see what it was like. They were all very nice people who strongly believed in Christianity. I knew it was not for me, but I found it interesting to participate in fellowships with them. I never ever said I believed in Jesus and I never said I didn't. At the end of the year (my senior year), I left them and never said a word about what I didn't believe in.

Faith is just something you choose to believe in. I don't hold anything against someone who has faith in a God or Gods. It is their right to believe what they want. However, I don't want them pressing it upon me.

I think that's why I like the character Beth in Y: The Last Man so much... not Yorick's fiancee, the other one. She's extremely knowledgeable about both the wonderful and the horrible things that have been carried out in God's name, doesn't put up with crap from fools on either side, but still maintains a certain strong devotion to her faith, even while struggling to reconcile it with her other beliefs. Minus the knowledgeable part, I guess I can relate.

Hi Mr. Pot, I have your telephone connection with Mr. Kettle ready.

[Callie]

Not believing in Hell doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I really would not like to get into a discussion about actual religious beliefs and whatnot because it always turns ugly from all sides.

However, the point behind being an atheist is that you do not believe in a God/Gods. The concept of an actual hell is part and parcel a function of a faith's doctrine. If you do not have faith, then it is likely that you do not hold beliefs towards any feature of such faith. Threatening someone with a negative feature of a faith doesn't really hold water if the person doesn't believe in it. If I don't believe in karma, then I won't believe that my next life will be a punishment for my actions in this one.

Add to this that most religions of the world teach to understand and respect all other people beliefs. It means that they are going against that.Well, I'd say it's true that some religions teach that others' beliefs should be respected, but I don't think (at least in Christianity) that we're taught that others' beliefs, regardless of what they are, mean they're exempt from damnation. I'm not too well-versed, but I'm pretty sure that Christians, while tolerating Jewish faith (for instance) still believe they're damned for not accepting Christ as their savior. Of course I could be wrong. Anyway, in that respect, pointing out to someone that they're damned is not going against their own teachings.

Quick question for those fellow gay males on X-Cres.

How many of you have made the step of coming out of the closet to your parents or family? I've been considering it for a while, mostly because keeping it bottled up is one of the major stress aspects of my life. Just wanted to pick the brains of my fellow comic geeks that have dealt with similar issues. :)

...no you're probably right.

Christian I may be...but I know squat about it.

Re: Hell.

Remember that it wasn't a part of the original theology or belief structure. It was added much later as an attempt to enforce that followers would follow the word of god in their lives. That if they didn't, they'd be punished in the afterlife with eternal torment and torture. It was accused at the time of being a means of controlling those who would attend the church.

[TheWolfOfAsgard]

I was raised Southern Baptist. The church I grew up going to did say that if a person didn't beleive in Christ they were going to hell. No matter what. No belief in Christ; no heaven.


These are the same peole who agreed to cancel Sunday night service one year because the Super Bowl would be on at the same time.

One of the good parts about having limited space in which to keep my belongings (I'm pretty much confined to my bedroom and one other closet in the house) is that I can't afford to be a pack rat and am forced to purge my wardrobe and general clutter.

I spent the past two hours going through my closet and dressers and have pulled out a big stack of sweaters, t-shirts, dress shirts, shorts, and other items that I'm getting rid of. As most of these are in good/great condition I'll offer them to my brothers, and then anything they don't want to Goodwill.

I was raised Catholic and still am and I really don't find the stereotypes that are displayed in the media and popculture to be true.

Well come on that's why it's the South. Football = God's Left Hand. God would want you to take off that Sunday Night for the Super Bowl.

Oh, I'm sure they are true. Remember, media and popculture always focuses on the most extreme aspects of the particular group. After all, the freaks and deviants of the minority are more interesting then the normal majority. After all, that is what sells papers and makes interesting stories.

are you going to become a Charity shops new friend?

If your bros don't want them that is?

[TheWolfOfAsgard]

Religious groups suffer from the same problem that plagues most any other group or minority. The actions and opinions of the most vocal and outgoing section get the most exposure because they can get the higher ratings on the news and sell more magazines and papers. Doesn't matter if they are the minoirty number of said group....they are willing ti make the biggest spectacle.
