  1. The good thing about ZP is that, although it's hyperbolic and ott, there's never actual fabrication. Everything he complains about is worth taking the piss out of, and in a deeply flawed market like videogames where spikey haired teens and steroid pumped jarheads are supposed to be Shakesperean tragic heroes there's more than enough for him to critique legitimately in his style. For all his exaggeration, I genuinely agree with most of what he says.
  2. Has the Zero Punctuation review done the rounds yet? Lollerz.
  3. Happy birthday brah. Keep it foolish.
  4. That sort of thing was rife in X-Treme too. An entire series based on people kicking down doors and explaining how their powers work in excruciating detail over and over. New X-Men was genuinely stunning when it ran alongside X-Treme in the UK reprints- incredible action sequences conducted in near silence while actions spoke louder than words and deafened everyone in the room. For me, that's when modern comics happened and I've never looked back.* *Not entirely true. You should still totally read The Man With No Fear by Frank Miller.
  5. Happy birthday, dude.
  6. An actual caption from X-Men Forever #20 What The Fuck? That's one caption.
  7. Yay for Bucky! One of the best characters in the MU right now so if they take him in the Brubaker direction with the Winter Soldier and everything, it should be pretty cool. Definitely not going the way of The Ultimates with him, then.
  8. Not by your standards, no. But it was getting pretty long.
  9. I tried watching with once but my friends' retarded, bovine grade fucksack of a sister was in the room and, instead of leaving, voiced her dislike of the film constantly like a baying moose throughout. Film. Ruined.
  10. Fightpads are worth the money IMO. Great for emulators and stuff too if you're a dirty thief like me.
  11. The hair is gone! speaking of which, I just just ditched a considerable weight off my head. I seem to do this occasional dash from one extreme to another with my hair, but I do kind of like the less hair look for now.
  12. They should play this every night after the news. Everyone would just feel better about life.
  13. That's absolutely brilliant.
  14. Owch, dude. That sucks. Ginger night sounds lulz though, even if you did spend £55. I'm terribly bored. I have this article to write, but listening to my interview tapes over and over is so blindingly tedious that I can hardly bring myself to touch the damn thing. Must...stay...focused.
  15. Yeus, I heard also. Although, reading it again recently I'd rather it was done like '616 Avengers, but doing The Ultimates' Millar's crew are just...too knobbish. To a man, they're pretty much horrible people.
  16. I can see it working in his hands. He clearly gets action (Harro, Serenity bar fight) and his character moments are always good. Yeah, I can see it working.
  17. I'd agree with you on the colours. Compare to my boy Fco over on Invincible and there's no vibrancy. Whoever's colouring New Avengers these days gets a doffed hat, too. Great work.
  18. yyeeaah boi! dyson, you unemployed ruffian, how about a game of SFIV tomorrow?
  19. Sounds like you made a good call dude! You should see how far you can push this because it sounds like you have at least grounds for compensation.
  20. Which arcs do you consider poor, Rez? Second Coming #2 was slick. More proof that CBR are talking shit often and without cause. Although the scope of the event wasn't really unveiled as such, it was an effective re-entry in to current events for Hope and Cable with some excellent characterisation and solid art work.
