I swear to christ I'm not buying yet another Aliens DVD set. God damn you Fox!

Edit-Ahhh, I see this was a Japan release of the Quadrilogy not something coming out here soon.

[seanr1221]

Wooo new avatar! I was getting sick of the old one, just didn't do it for me.

[Eviltude]

Nerds. :lol:

[Pookymeister]

I swear to christ I'm not buying yet another Aliens DVD set. God damn you Fox!
i think it was a limited edition thing that came out a while ago - 25th anniversary. Its at Play Asia now for $120 plus $70 shipping i think.

[Pookymeister]

Now if you 'shopped in the reflection of your ex's boobs on those shades.....

[Strell]

Yes, yes. I rather like that. Snake Griffin.

[seanr1221]

Now if you 'shopped in the reflection of your ex's boobs on those shades.....

Hey, you live in PA, why don't you just go find her ;)

I talk to her on and off now...it seems she gets around with a lot of guys...still.

[Eviltude]

So there are lobsters...in her pants?

Food...

You and me both...I need to send you a FR on PSN soon too.

Ready for some Halo 3 tomorrow?

[crystalklear64]

New OTT. New post. Paint picture to follow soon...

[zewone]

You and me both...I need to send you a FR on PSN soon too.

Ready for some Halo 3 tomorrow?
Shit yeah, 12 hours of H3 yesterday, today 10, tomorrow 24.

[tiredfornow]

Im pretty good at FPSs, so hopefully I'll do well in halo 3 and not get my ass raped left and right.

Other than that I don't know what possessed me to do this.. but I ate a little ceasers hot-n-ready, a small bag of crazy bread, a bag of hot cheetos with cheese, and cup of corn w/ chili.:puke:

[Pookymeister]

Im pretty good at FPSs

I'll pwn in CounterStrike, but i suck at console FPS

[seanr1221]

Shit yeah, 12 hours of H3 yesterday, today 10, tomorrow 24.

Oh yea...no work = me playing all day.

I better get to sleep...only 6 hours to go for me.

[mr ryles]

of course the halo 3 beta has to come out after my 2 days off of work.

[mr ryles]

I think I may just set my alarm for 5AM and wake up to download it.

I've done it again. Impressed myself to the point of vomiting.

[Strell]

You should send that pic to whoever was working with photoshop in the last thread.

/zing

[zewone]

I think I may just set my alarm for 5AM and wake up to download it.
That was my plan. Get up at 5, start the download, go to bed for 2 hours, and hopefully it will be done by then. The bandwidth is going to get raped.

Luckily, I got the early invite.

[dallow]

Oh boo-urns!
I wanted to start an OTT thread.

[crystalklear64]

Nigh-OTT.....

Jesus christ that was terrible...

[Pancake Rabbit]

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this "neo from matrix" OTT title but it's pooky and not demoman so I'll let it slide. Also beer = yummy in my tummy. oh and the wings dominated tonight. All is well.

[zewone]

Just finished the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo.

I <3 decapitating heads in HD, looks so nice, but I don't think I can buy the same game a 3rd time.

[mr ryles]

I owned it the other 2 times, but never beat them. SO I can justify a 3rd purchase, plus i does look sooooo good in HD. :drool:

That demo is hot fire. I'd definitely pick up the full version if I had a ps3, Gaiden's one of my favorite games of all time.

[Graystone]

I fell asleep. We going back there.

[Magehart]

Another one bites the dust :P.

[Apossum]

damn, I've been in bed since 1, can't fall asleep. weird.


I guess right now is a good time to start playing WoW (I just installed it around 11pm) :rofl:

For the love of god and your soul DO NOT PLAY THAT GAME!

it's no problem. the worst that can happen is that it'll replace the time I spend with other games. but I don't get china-style hooked to RPGs.

[Liquid 2]

Shit yeah, 12 hours of H3 yesterday, today 10, tomorrow 24.Man, I really hate you.
I do get off next week though (after 3 half-days), so I'll have plenty of time for catch up :).

[wubb]

Morning OTT. I've been itching to create one, but they always seem to close out in the middle of the night.

Watched this weeks Heroes off DVR last night and damn it was awesome. Felt like a season finale but there are still 2 weeks left. :bouncy:

Popped by Wal-Mart in the afternoon yesterday and suddenly remembered why I try to hit Wal-Mart only in the morning or late in the evening. Place was a frickin zoo. All the checkout lines were pretty long and somehow I chose the one with two :oldman: ladies :oldman: who both wrote a check for payment. It was kind of funny because when the first lady (about 3 or 4 people up from me) pulled out her checkbook I mumbled something like "Oh boy, wonderful." And the other lady who eventually used a check was right in front of me. :lol:

[lordwow]

I'm really getting sick of people bitching about the Amazon DOTD. Ya, there are some ones to bitch about, like when they put up Tony Hawk Whatever for the 8th time, but seriously, Crackdown for $45? It just came out with a slew of DLC, it has the Halo 3 Beta (maybe...sorta), and it's $60 everywhere else.

That and "if it drops to $1.99 I'll pick it up." It won't.

Ha, maybe the 2nd :oldman: lady heard my comment and did. That would be awesome, greatest generation solidarity. The comment wasn't anything nasty though.

[Maklershed]

I didnt realize when I posted in the previous OTT that it was on the verge of closing. I wondered why nobody commented after me since 7:05 :oops:

Anyway, anyone thats interested probably already knows but take a look at what I found in my good ol inbox this morning (from Microsoft):

http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/6909/x0516halo3announcetopimfi5.th.png

[Maklershed]

For people with Crackdown .. have you been able to dl the beta yet?

[shrike4242]

For people with Crackdown .. have you been able to dl the beta yet?I'll check tonight when I get home from work.

[senorwoohoo]

Goddamn does my throat hurt.

Someone throw some popsicles my way.

[Maklershed]

I checked the crackdown invite this morning and it wasnt active and then I read on Bungie that there's a delay for cracdown people but those with friends and family invite and rule of three invites should be ok.

[Gothic Walrus]

Morning OTT! Time for some Froot Loops and maybe an English muffin...

That and "if it drops to $1.99 I'll pick it up." It won't.
Au contraire - if the NES, SNES, and Genesis have shown us anything, it's that you'll absolutely be able to find it at $1.99 eventually. It might be ten years after release at a garage sale, but it'll get there. ;)

Ya, it'll definitely get there eventually, but not within a year of release... at least not on anything most of us would buy :)

Later on in the parking lot they probably high fived each other talking about how they pawned that punk kid back in the store.

[dallow]

New girl is looking nice today. She's finally back, has been sick the last two days.

Cafeterial girl I'm assuming will also be looking nice.... and taken.
Maybe I should still talk to her. To confirm that she is indeed seeing someone already.

Lunch in an hour.

Anyone got a napkin......?


That thing is badass.....I have always said I wouldnt buy an Aliens box set until it comes in something really cool (not just a god damn tin box) and this fits perfectly in what I want.

But did I hear you guys saying that its only in Japan? God I hope it comes to the states.....anyone know how much it is?

I am going to answer my own question.


95 Euros= about 130 bucks. Its in English also.

that IS an out-fucking-rageous box for it though. I'd buy it if I actually liked those movies :P

Damn OTT sucks today!

I'm actually doing work.

[Gothic Walrus]

Hmm. It turns out that the local outdoor theater (Freedom Hill) is hiring right now. That'd work as a job - I could still do the day camps I did last year, and do this at night. Plus, there are a few decent concerts on the slate this summer. Snow Patrol and Bob Dylan for free wouldn't be all that bad. :)

Snow Patrol put on a really great live show. Get that job now so I can be jealous!

It rained last night. Now its cold, and dark today. My friend is burying his father today, I sent flowers to the viewing. I don't think my friend would want me to go. I think he just wants to be alone crying.


Kinda morbid but when I was younger we went down to Tennessee to bury some family member and I was about 5 or 6. I was so bored, I went to the car and got some toy cars. I then proceeded to play cop and robbers in the little coffee room they had while making the siren noises.

I remember doing shit like that when I was young too. I never paid attention to key moments in my life when I was little :[

I sent flowers that have a card. I sent one of those wreaths on a stand type things.

When he told me his dad died he sent a text message telling me. He then said a couple of other things. But never mentioned the funeral. Then when I did talk to him on the phone he told me he needs to keep his mind off of it. So I just talked to him about baseball, and video games.

I found out when and where the funeral was via the newspaper obits. So I sent flowers. I sent him a text message saying I'm sorry, and that he always has me & my family if needed. He's an only child, and my best friend.

For some reason I wouldn't feel right going to the funeral. I know him (he's my best friend) If he could have it his way. It would be just his mom, and him at the viewing.

Nope don't own crackdown. I rented it a while back but didn't like it enough to keep it for the halo 3 beta. I can wait on the real game.

The problem is in most places in America you just can't do anything without driving your car. Where I am I could walk to a grocery store, but it's about a mile each way so I wouldn't be able to buy many groceries...

Apparently they make Diesel engines that run cleaner and with less noise and stench then in the past and get better mileage. That's something I could see going with for my next car assuming there are good choices and they are priced about the same as normal gas vehicles. It's an old tech so I don't see why they wouldn't?

I laugh when I see the flex fuel vehicles around here (always a monster SUV as well) as it always makes me wonder if the owner will fill up even one time with something other than plain gas. There's maybe one public E85 pump within 30 miles of me...

Jim Rome the other day had a great rant on gas prices. He said he saw it for 3.80 and wanted to see it hit 4 bucks. He would be annoyed at 3.99, fine at 4.00, and pissed off at 4.01.

[Gothic Walrus]

Lower gas tax, raise cigarette tax.
Ah, but that would piss off the smokers because they'd have to pay more to slowly kill themselves. :roll:

I lost one of my grandfathers from smoking-induced cancer when I was younger. In my eyes, anything that can lead to people smoking less is a good thing...and the cheaper gas would just be a benefit, though I doubt the decrease would be all that noticeable.

The pump would tell you if it'll support a 2007+ diesel engine.

E85 is bigger out in the Midwest than it is on the East Coast.

Well it is all relative. My mother has a flex fuel truck, but that is because her truck has the vette engine in it and my dad wanted the all aluminum block. She can't get any ethanol for it, but it gets 20 mpg and is a beast on the road.

Sounds like you are being a good friend, so that's good. I wouldn't be quick to assume he wouldn't appreciate you showing up unless the paper mentioned family only for the funeral or something, but you obviously know him well and I don't know him at all. Being there for the guy in one way or another is the most important thing and it sounds like you are doing that in the way you feel is best. That's never a bad thing.

[Eviltude]

And you thought this was an accident :evil:.

Whats up, OTT?

[Rocko]

Ugh, over two more weeks of school.

6 days left. :)

I got my DS case from Playasia toay... now to see which one I got!

Pics to follow.

[lordwow]

I haven't driven a car in about 4 years, I have the luxury of walking to the grocery store and back (it's about a 15-20 minute walk depending on what you're carrying, but I also have a cart thing). The movies theater and Best Buy are the same distance in another direction, and finally I have the T to take me anywhere else in Boston or outside I need to go.

[wubb]

I'm sure as more FFV are sold there will be more pumps (chicken / egg thing) but I won't be buying one until the pumps are there and the prices are comparable. I've also heard there just isn't enough ethanol to support the amount of fuel the US would consume.

The cleaner-burning diesels need a higher-class of diesel fuel, and it's not available everywhere yet. The pump would tell you if it'll support a 2007+ diesel engine.

E85 is bigger out in the Midwest than it is on the East Coast.

Latest popsci seemed to indicate that they run cleaner on the diesel that should be available at pumps now. (Much lower sulfur.) Or is low sulfur diesel not at most pumps in the US yet? They can also run on biodiesel of various %, but that's a lot less widely available. (Probably about as available as E85 on the east coast...)

[Strell]

I wish American cities were designed better so I wouldn't have to drive everywhere. I went to Toronto a while ago, and from my hotel, I could walk to anything within a few minutes as far as necessities go - food, small clothing stores, etc - and other needs were pretty close as well.

Generally everything in Toronto was a giant building with office space and apartments on the higher floors, so the lower ones could be dedicated to general commercial outlets.

Instead, here, a gas station is just under a mile away, and the grocery stores is 1.5 and across two huge busy roads. There's a smaller store near me, but its prices are double that of the grocery store.

My last three jobs in this area would be several miles down the highway.

I guess I just keep thinking that if stuff was more centralized and used vertical space instead of horizontal, it might concentrate everything I'd need to drive to. I know Graystone was saying a similar thing at some point. I can't help but think it would be nice to have this huge building where I could take an elevator to the ground floor, pick up some fast food and groceries, and then go back up. Meanwhile my job might be within a few hundred yards walking distance.

Also would be nice if we had better public transportation. But around here if you wanted to do that for college classes, expect to waste (literally) over 2 hours each day waiting for the bus and riding it around.

Anyway.

Odd dream: I don't know why, but I dreamed that I picked up some kind of wireless Logitech keyboard on sale at a Walmart for Graystone and shipped it to him. But then he decided he didn't want it, so he sent it back to the Walmart. I went back a few days later and found it and bought it at a bigger discount. For some reason, when GRaystone sent it back, he included a pair of old jeans he used to wear, along with a belt still on the jeans.

There's probably some messages in there I don't care to speculate about.

[senorwoohoo]

Speaking of gas, I just ate an apple.

That has to be the loudest thing in the world to eat.

[Graystone]

Sounds like you are being a good friend, so that's good. I wouldn't be quick to assume he wouldn't appreciate you showing up unless the paper mentioned family only for the funeral or something, but you obviously know him well and I don't know him at all. Being there for the guy in one way or another is the most important thing and it sounds like you are doing that in the way you feel is best. That's never a bad thing.

The paper didn't mention anything. His obit was the shortest I've ever seen. It said

D. Dugan of Trotwood 45 viewing 1:30Pm North Dayton Chapel.

So I know its really ripping him apart. Cause even doing the obit proly made him cry for a few hours. I would sorta like to go but I just have a gut feeling that it wouldn't be right for me to go. That my friend doesn't want me there.

I'm think he's looking at me for relief from this, and if I go to the funeral I would ruin that. By relief I mean he can talk to me, and I'm not going to bother him with questions. I'm going to try to keep him happy, and his mind off of it.

I hope I'm doing the right thing. I hope.

Speaking of gas, I just ate an apple.

That has to be the loudest thing in the world to eat.

I think carrots would be louder. I could be wrong, I don't like apples that much. Only apples I like are HoneyCrisps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycrisp) and they're hard to find around me.

Next to DS, flap open, for size comparison.

Also, Ouendan shipped today. That's good, but the item I ordered with it to get $5 off, an Animal Crossing toy figure, is now OOS and so they only shipped my Ouendan. But with Playasia they never get those toys back, so I hope they either find one or end up giving me credit for it.

At least Ouendan is on its way.

Mountain bike IMO. It can handle gravel/dirt/grass or going over curbs, etc. If you're not going to be doing much (or any) real off road stuff with it you can get smoother tires which will increase efficiency on smooth pavement.

Road bikes are easier on pavement, but I don't think they do well on anything uneven.

They also have hybrids that are fine for just about anything other than real mountain bike trails. They always seemed kind of like junky mountain bikes to me though.

Honestly I'd go to a real bike shop or two and talk to a guy there about what you plan to do and see what he'd suggest.

In the thread for this product in the Deals forum, someone mentioned that the Japanese description states they are for DS storage, so I'm assuming it would fit somehow. But I dunno.

[Graystone]

I know Graystone was saying a similar thing at some point.

Anyway.

Odd dream: I don't know why, but I dreamed that I picked up some kind of wireless Logitech keyboard on sale at a Walmart for Graystone and shipped it to him. But then he decided he didn't want it, so he sent it back to the Walmart. I went back a few days later and found it and bought it at a bigger discount. For some reason, when GRaystone sent it back, he included a pair of old jeans he used to wear, along with a belt still on the jeans.

There's probably some messages in there I don't care to speculate about.

Yea I mentioned that most other countries are set up for walking. Most 3rd world countries that have cars are mainly for looks, and to keep up with the Jones.
Yet in the good ol' USA for some reason its very important that everything has to be driving distance away. Normally in this country if we have something thats in walking distance its either a gas station, or a small "corner" store.

And wtf the dream? I sent back a pair of pants and a belt? the hell?

Absolutely no problem, no need to apologize, Sir Sixers. I keep a variety of cases for my portables for different situations - like one if I just need to keep it protected for a day versus a week long trip where I'll need the charger - so I fully understand.

[Zenithian Legend]

The problem is in most places in America you just can't do anything without driving your car. Where I am I could walk to a grocery store, but it's about a mile each way so I wouldn't be able to buy many groceries...

Apparently they make Diesel engines that run cleaner and with less noise and stench then in the past and get better mileage. That's something I could see going with for my next car assuming there are good choices and they are priced about the same as normal gas vehicles. It's an old tech so I don't see why they wouldn't?

I laugh when I see the flex fuel vehicles around here (always a monster SUV as well) as it always makes me wonder if the owner will fill up even one time with something other than plain gas. There's maybe one public E85 pump within 30 miles of me...

Yessir. America wasn't exactly designed with fuel efficiency in mind. Some really crazy person needs to develop a legitimate alternate form of transportation or at the very least fuel. That crazy person will be very rich.

Jim Rome the other day had a great rant on gas prices. He said he saw it for 3.80 and wanted to see it hit 4 bucks. He would be annoyed at 3.99, fine at 4.00, and pissed off at 4.01.

Jim Rome... he shouldn't be killed, tortured slowly would be more fitting. Very, very slowly. We're talking tied up and left in a room with hungry rats here.

[Strell]

Well, conspiracy theorists will tell you that such vehicles have already been made, but that the government has destroyed them since it would radically shift the economy, and thus potentially eliminate lots of jobs in the process. I.e., an electric car would disrupt our dependence on oil, which would ruin those companies.

On a related note, I've heard there was once an engine so efficient and simple that it would basically eliminate the need for mechanics, but that it too was shut down before it could reach the main market.

Kinda makes you wonder at times. I mean I can see it happening, but I really don't want to believe in it, ya know?

Really, I'd be happy if he wasn't on radio anymore. He grew old really quickly, and I'm not a huge fan of the "Here's my take" style of show; listening to him rant then listening to the callers rant without any real discussion going on is just boring.

Also, it'd be great if the bizarre homoerotic relationship between Jim and his listeners/"clones" vanished, though I doubt that'll happen soon.

Well Saturday, He told me his dad died. So I checked the paper Sunday it wasn't there, and then on Monday they had a small two liner obit for him. When I saw the obit thats when I thought it really hurt him, and he would want to be alone.

Most obits say how a person died, and who they're survived by. But all this said was his name, and 1:30 at North Dayton Chapel.

However my friend texted me back, and said "Its cool I feel bad for not asking."

So I feel better like we're on even ground again.

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pegging (http://cheapassgamer.com/forums/www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pegging)

[Strell]

I spend anywhere from 10-20 bucks a week on gas, and that's even if I'm doing the bare minimum of driving.

So anywhere from 520 - 1040 bucks a year on gas. That's insane, considering before this administration, it would be a third of that.

I guess the thing that bugs me the most is that I'm very much a utilitarian at heart, which is why it infuriates me that there might even be the slightest notion that we would be prevented from things that might help everyone on a grand scale simply because some businessmen are wallowing in profits.

Example (and this is coming from Bill Maher, which means it could be wildly full of spin, since I no longer trust any talking head from any side of political debate anymore) - we're trying to move toward organic fuel. In Chile (or Brazil, I can't remember which), they have already done this, using organic fuels built from sugarcane. Their entire country uses it - it's highly efficient and very easy to produce.

We are trying to have the same progression, but instead we're going to use organic fuels derived from other grains. Grains that - if you trace the money - run into some of the biggest corporations run in the US. So these companies, despite making tons of profit already, are now going to get stipends and subsidies from the government, as well as potential tax write-offs and deductions. And on top of all of that, the organic fuel that they want to manufacture is 1/8th as efficient as the sugarcane variety used in Chile.

All of that really annoys me on some levels that make me sick. But I have to come to terms with reality that says there's nothing I can honestly do about it on a large scale, so I have to just try and do my part as best I can.

Anyway. Enough ranting about such things.

Can't get enough.
Easily in my top 5 of actual post-2000 groups I enjoy.

At the show he'd yell "Go Art Brut!" before every song.
He was so funny.

It's just the leak. I really dug their debut and was hoping to hear this one as soon as possible. Oh well. Lead singer seems pretty crazy so I don't doubt that he'd yell that before every song. I'd love to see them in concert.

Anywho, just found out I got a 3.6 for my last semester...which gave me a 3.48 cumulative GPA. Not bad since my first two years were full of BS by me.

[Strell]

On deck for dinner:

Grilled beef fajitas and beer brats.

Oh yes.

Aside from Bungie/MS's misstep, today's been pretty awesome.

Since like 199 people out of the 206 person Junior class took the English AP today, I basically did no work until after lunch. In the class below lunch, I went to the AP Bio room, where some of my senior friends were making s'mores with fissure burners :lol:.

Good times were had by all.

[Soodmeg]

So....how is it going bitches.


I had to get out of work early today.....it was kinda stressful.

They dumped 3 more projects on me and one is due in a week.

Meh.....mo money mo money mo money for me.


My girl just made me a big ass steak for dinner.......R6V will be mine in a couple of hours.....so today is not a total bust.

1. Got out of work early
2. Get more jobs, which you yourself say you enjoy because more jobs is more money, which is good.
3. Came home to a good dinner.
4. About to get a splendid game.

I'm not even trying to be an asshole, but you just assume that now, it seems. You could always, you know, prove me wrong instead of just saying "oh whatever". I'd be glad to hear why your day was a bust since it obviously didn't show in your post.

The point is that I don't know everything, only what you post, so that's a stupid argument.

With that said, spill the beans. Why'd your day suck?

You dont like me fine man but chill out with the trying to poke and prod me with your clever remarks. I am not buying into it.


Anyway...off to get R6V.....bye bitches.

[dallow]

Awkward......


Anyway, at the local mall they had a new store, Console Game Exchange.
They sell everything from 3D0, Jaguar, Sega CD, everything.
Weird store.

I turned in an application, I'd like to work there part time and get a discount.
I also bought a Tobal No.1 strategy guide for $1.95.

[Dr Mario Kart]

I dont think that place is new. Maybe they just moved or are expanding. Either would be ridiculous, because their pricing is stupid high. I go in just to challenge myself to find something undervalued.

[Rocko]

Wow. Except I wasn't poking, prodding, or being rude at all.

You are a hoot, my friend. An absolute hoot.

I actually had no idea you and Soodmeg had some bad blood between you. What happened?

I sabotaged both their soap box derby racers, thus winning the Cup and totally taking Susie to the soda shop for a malted.

But that wouldn't explain much.

*just after the second quarter of the Cavs/Nets game begins*
Female Sideline Reporter: "The Cavs have 5 turnouvers already. If they keep up this pace, they'll end up with 20 by the game's end."

I don't know why, but I found that funny. :lol:

I love this Vitamin Water badminton commercial where the shuttlecock gets lodged in the dude's leg after Damon Ortiz goes for a smash hit.

[SpottedNigel]

fuck fuck fuck.

I got the schedule set for tomorrow so that I can go see (hopefully) my new apartment. Took a bit of work, but made it just right.

Got a call from my lady friend asking for a "HUGE favor". Normally, this kind of thing isn't a problem. "Tomorrow (ok...) I have to go and take a house buying class (Still not a good idea, but ok...) and I need you to babysit (um...) from 3:30 to about 7 (SHIT!)"

The apartment viewing is from 4-8. Either she has to find another sitter, or I'll be walking around the new apartment with a baby who's not mine.

Awesome!... Maybe this will somehow work in my favor and the little one will be a chick magnet at the showing.

[Rocko]

Say no?

Nigel, you gots any deals for CAGs on your ebay stuffs?

[SpottedNigel]

Sure, go for the simple answer :)

Oh I know it's not a new place, just a new location.
I only knew of one other place that had it. Never went there before.
It is high priced, which is why I stuck to the cheap guide.
But if I work there.... discount!

Cost is the only thing that keeps me from reading comics - on my budget (which is food, college supplies, and supporting my CAG addiction :)), I can't afford three bucks per book.

Once I graduate and I get myself a kick-ass job, though, that might not be an issue anymore. :D

I'd love to get into comics, but it's too expensive for me as well.

About $40 but I don't do it every month. Like Last month I didn't get a box. So I'm excited for this month. It would be nice if I had a local comic store. I would proly spend less each month. Cause I could skim through them at the store. Decide if that months/weeks comic is worth buying.
I get my comics from g-mart.com.

It can be a steep slope sometimes. I like to read new things. But if all else fails I keep my standards of Spawn, The Punisher, Ghost rider, Blade, Detective Comics, Simpsons, and a couple Steve Niles be it a mini-series he's working on, or just a walking dead book.

But this month I'm trying out GI. Joe, Superman-Batman, Jonhah hex, and METAL GEAR SOLID SONS OF LIBERTY

[Maklershed]

Shop smart, shop g-mart

[Rocko]

$40 a month, eh?

I have a hefty stack of Simpsons comics. I bought 'em for quite a while.

If I had the cash I'd definitely get into some comic series, although I doubt it's a simple as Spiderman/Superman/Batman anymore... there's probably all kinds of cross-series and ultimate-this and amazing-that and all kinds of confusing shit.

Looking at Gmart's subscription thing, most of the popular things say Monthly. I though books came out weekly.

[FriskyTanuki]

This live CAGcast is interesting.

Punisher was the first comic I read back in the day. IIRC most comics are monthly. I know new comics are released on Wednesdays every week.

Yea there are a lot of comic that go different ways. I think at least 5 different batman comics a month. I stay with the normal stuff so I don't have to worry about all the different arcs etc. I know I'm missing out on somethings but its not worth spending $30 on one story arc that doesn't really do anything, Arcs do add exciting, fresh things to comics. But I'm old school in a sense I just want to see my hero kick ass.

QFT, that's what I'd look for in a comic. I don't want to have to buy 4 batman comics, all of which actually feature spiderman fantastic 4 and xmen, just to understand the story of one of them.

I want a Batman comic with just that- Batman. Cheaper, too, as you said. :lol:

I read the Detective Comics which are Batman is more badass in those. I've learned just to stick with the plain high numbered stuff. Like Batman #634 and stuff like that. Then you know its your old school ass kicking hero
