Anyone know a good guide for 'droid apps? What are your favourites? I've not got many, just looking for general tips, stuff I might not know.

Can't be Bucky- they're relaunching Captain America with him as a new partner for the newly re-capped Rogers. or something. Speaking of which- has Fear Itself 'Done a Siege' with that? I remember during that event Steve Rogers was variously returned to life, seen for the first time several times by a bunch of characters, intermittently dressed as Captain America and (really weirdly) in a designless black body suit that literally looks like placeholder art nobody filled in because his new outfit hadn't been finalised in time. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Bucky in a Russian jail right now? in a few issues (Avengers #13, Moonknight #1) They've used the classic cap outfit. So is that Rogers? Because in Avengers #13 they ALSO have Steve Rogers in his...whatever he's called new outfit. So confused. So alone...

What's it even about? I don't know. Nick Fury in the 50s! A bunch of shit! Not even the real Red Skull! Fuck off! also: Turns out I really like Red Hulk on the team. Who knew?

You have a point with New Avengers. The 50s stuff is complete shite. It's not going anywhere, it has Sabretooth in it and the art is a steaming load of stale jizz. The modern sections are fine, and I like that, but...urgh. The Doc Strange arc was so good, too. if they cut the shit, this one would be decent too. I disagree about Avengers. I don't mind the pace at all, though Bendis is being a bit...much.

A Coen boxset without those films is a bit tragic, really.
-
I heard Uncanny X-Force was good too. True or False? also: taken to watching Justice League. It's good, but a little clumsy sometimes. Superman, particularly, is frequently gimped just to give other characters something to do. Every time he joins a fight he's usually taken out by either electricity or gass. There's also been no mention so far of his super speed. I know that's probably down to making room for the Flash, but it still sucks when he struggles to keep up with a escaping van.

I'm enjoying The Avengers franchise still. Infinity was cool and the kang opening arc was really good in the main book. New and Secret have also been pretty decent doing their own thing too. Academy is, of course, amazing. I've not read up on Amazing Spider-Man lately, but I like where it's going a lot (except for the FF. Too much of them) so I just need to catch up. I have no idea about X-Men, frankly. Totally lost track but the status quo following Hope's return was a clever enough set up for me to check it out. Again, just need to catch up. It's certainly not weak. I think there's an element of disconnection, certainly. When you loose a unifying threat like Osborn and The Sentry, that's bound to happen though. Fear Itself looks like it's going to be a really good event (feels like a blockbuster movie so far, which is boss) even though the plethora of side stories is bound to be a pain in the arse. For one thing, I'd much rather Iron Man got back to the Mandarin and Stane story than faff around with the event.

Ha. I really want that error!

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn

Heathen dog! - this is going to be ace! Just look at those names! It's a wonderful, wonderful collection of people just right for the job. I think the animated approach is going to be a good one too so really looking forward to this. Oh yus. -
I need to read more DC, I think. hit me
-
Dude, like, pay attention and stuff.
-
Aye. 4 is truly exceptional stuff. It's just the perfect evolution of the show. The plot is more compelling, the developments more exciting and the relationships are better crafted than ever. Don and Peggy, particularly, are fantastic. In fact, Peggy on her own is probably my favourite character in anything ever now. Yes.
-
The thing with Mad Men is that there's just so much that's implicit rather than explicit and all the character development is done in the subtext that it does all seem a bit shallow at first. I enjoy the hidden depth to it all though, and of course that shallow flashy exterior is a perfect metaphor for the ad business.
-
I'm still going to get it. Frankly, there's been some odious guff surrounding more than a few of the reviews- the poorest all based on a 2 hour review session in a hotel with bots only. The more positive reviews are by writers who spent more time with it. and hell, if it's shit then L.A Noire is out soon. Trade in for that and we're all good.

or: Age of Apocalypse for wankers.

They've been stress testing by turning off dedicated servers. Presumably it's that.

Loads of pussy.

Fuck off and die in a hole. Alone.

I've not read loads yet (13 I think) but..by god, it's good.
-
Rez, did you pick up The Boys recently? Just started it myself and it's fucking amazing. Brilliant take on super powers and funny as fuck. Had me chortling like a mad bastard more than a few times already. The end of the Tek Knight story was just...incredible. Proper piss funny stuff.

Now now, Michael. Less canned spicey ham from you.

I agree with this - RPGs aren't about stats and *vomit* item management, they're about doing stuff. Mass Effect is a game about a soldier, so making it an action game makes perfect sense as long as the player is able to effect the world as before. JRPG stat based gaming is a poison. Get rid.

That actually sounds pretty rad.
