Ehhhh, I dunno. There seems to be a split personality when it comes to how Overwatch is marketed. On the game side, like at Blizz-friendly cons, it's all shop; meta level talk, if you will. It's a team shooter, you do this and this, or not this and this... mechanics! Which makes sense to market it that way, over there.…
Except, clear definitions have been offered and then clear examples where Overwatch fits said clear definitions have been given. That is; by definition, clearly defining something. No one is diluting the definition of 'superheroes,' by including Overwatch. Instead, the are clearly defining the term 'superheroes.' We don't…
Ah, true, true. Still a 'tag' though. Under 'Game Type' it's an Action MMORPG. Edit: In that search tags can be misleading. Well, maybe not misleading, but self-referencing. As in say this article: http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/07/overwatch/ It has superhero tags because the word 'superhero' was used in the article, if…
Yet on CO's game page, http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online, there is never a mention of Superhero; just phrases like 'action' and 'hero.' The only two instances 'super' is used are in the terms super-team and super-villain, never superhero. CO does not define itself as a superhero game, but as an action-hero…
I dunno. They show Tracer and Winston deploying a "Fastball Special." If I were Marvel, I'd be all over that. ; ) Edit: I do think it's funny how they have pretty much all the kids going, 'Mommy, mommy! Look a Sup..." and then nothing. It's like you can almost hear the lawyer clearing her throat.
Yeah, kind of. I'd also say it's Marvel's attempt to get Gurihiru Studios (Chifuyu Sasaki & Naoko Kawano) more work, with something short. I think Marvel likes their Anime/Manga style, but realizes an American audience might have their limits. I have to say Gurihiru's section of the Holiday Special looked several orders…
Sometimes I think 'producers' fail to realize why a one-off (well, in this case three-off) works: It's limited and quirky. The Holiday Special was enough to show said quirkiness (I didn't read the Howard The Duck isshes). A series (even if limited) is pushing it. What's next, a Gwenpool movi... Hmm, Emma Stone as…
I would be happy with a 'Become Nemesis' token from the Onslaught system. Assuming the character using the token had a Nemesis, which should be the case for most 40s.
Hah! In the videos with him in those specific outfits they were actually standies. Maybe that's why they look so odd: they took pictures of the standies for the comic ad (and flipped the Left Twix standy... or right one... the red shirt one, LOL). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Ot04Q7t_o
Yeah, $1k, $2k and $3k are good benchmarks. Personally, I fall into the $2k mark on laptops and $1k on towers. Just can't convince myself to spend that extra grand. Overall, I view computer purchases like watch purchases. While there are noticeable differences in timekeeping once you get into the $500.00+ watch range,…
Why is it a cut and paste of Lachey's head? I mean, it's clearly tacked on. Does his body cost more or something? Oh, and would have worked way better as an insert, especially since it's on the staple-end pages anyway.
So, I'm going to assume the US Military is keeping everything mum about the specifics of that day. 'Cause, Wayne having an arguably reasonable beef about one specific building aside; 99% of the collateral damage in the Met came from the World-Shaper's link to Zod's command ship, which had nothing to do with Kal and 'They'…
Aha! So she's "Vaygerz Mom." Assuming Leia and Han have three kids, Ban, Leiza and Chewaggie. :::Sing-Song::: The Solos... Edit: (The paternity of Chewaggie is in question though ; )
Aha! So, Jean Grey has been a fembot all along. Why didn't I see it before! But yeah, seriously, in the amateur realm, if you had a page like that in your webcomic, you'd get your butt blistered by critics for being lazy.
Yeah, I had it work as intended once. Nemesis Minions 'control' Big T. My heroine destroys the control crystal. Big T turns on Nem Mins. Everything despawns. Miller time.
A similar change occurred in manga too. It used to be, a monthly release had a discernible single story in one chapter; a weekly release usually had a short term conclusion at the end of a month; meaning 2-3 chapters, 4 at the most. Now, they're all paced for tankoubon (big volumes; usually 5 for monthly, 10 for weekly)…
So, I was finally able to watch The Avengers: AoU Saturday and I now get the why of Spader as the VA of Ultron: They needed someone to out RDJ, RDJ's Stark. For the most part, I think it worked.
Scott Summers doesn't do what Scott Summers does for Scott Summers... ...Scott Summers does what Scott Summer does because he is: Scott Summers. Probably why he's misunderstood. : )
Pffth, as far as we know, Logan has survived several Big Bangs and Big Crunches. Edit: Personally, I have no hate for Wolverine. I'm just selective with my memory. I liked the relationship he had with Carol Danvers and consequently, the relationship he developed with Rogue, neither of which involved shipping initially…
Even there that serious one ain't that bad looking, and the beanie is the same color as the undershirt. From the cast pic it looks like the designer had the beanie the same color as the leather jacket, which is... odd, since it should be sock-fabric-ish. As far as dark designs still looking individualistic and…
Well, more like, considering one had no connection with the other, I questioned which game they were actually making. If they put out a game that's just like the demo, I don't see how they can make it a game about Reedus exploring Silent Hill. If they put out a game that's about Reedus exploring Silent Hill, then I don't…
My thoughts on it was this. All of the spooky, claustrophobic, intriguing, mysterious feeling you get when you play the first person PT, goes right out the window once you see Reedus; walking around in the open, and the huge marquee of Silent Hills. It's like there was little communication between the demo devs and the…
Except, kind of backwards, at least after Man of Steel. In that, I see Kal-El as the peace/order-restoring vigilante that the Human-First/'Merica-First Batman has to stop, instead of vice-versa. 'Cuz, at the end of MoS, Kal-El is his own man, doing his own thing, not an 'Merican agent. All of this is on the surface,…
Heh, ya know, I'll accept that. 'Course, doesn't quite explain why he had bare eyes before... : ) True, one of the best parts of a late 80's fight between X-Men and Juggernaut was Rogue stopping a passenger train heading toward a crater created by the fight. Though, I'll forgive Big-Budget movies when it comes to…
Now, I get it. I do. It's 'cuz movie, but if the rest of the suit says 'stealth,' then why have glowing eye slits? Augmented vision via a HUD happens on the inside of the helmet. The glowing eyes on the outside is superfluous.
Ah, Angar: The hippie super villain. Well, in the way back he was. This is probably a decent update. So, I'm guessing Fury's/Coulson's group is Secret Warriors... ish, and Adama's group is HAMMER... ish.
It makes a lot of sense. Make it like a combo of iTunes and Steam, with a loadable wallet that you can buy Big N software and 3rd Party software with, then download that software onto any device/hardware that is compatible (with Nintendo's hardware having the most features, no doubt). They may get less hardware sales, but…
Not all of Marvel's xenophobic story-lines are created equal anyway. Some flow organically from the actions/destruction in the previous ishes and sometimes solely on an administrative/government level; allowing people to fully get behind the aliens/mutants ('cuz gov'ment bad). Others are simply normal-people/civilians…
In regards to WW's new look, is it me or can they not get hip wear to look right even in a free-hand drawing? I swear that's loin-skirt is clipping. Edit: Supe's stopped tryin'... ...and apparently Bruce has given up completely, heh.
I wanna say The Vision, but it's got that odd reflection down the middle of the face. Also, why is it just chillin' in the back of a truck, 'specially with Cap and Ultron battlin' it up?
