Me too.  It was available where I live before that - it was just more expensive than I was willing to pay.

Yeah - I just read an article this morning about those movies.  Apparently, the Cap movie is titled "The First Avenger: Captain America," and it's being released 6 weeks (or was it months?) before the Avengers movie.

Thought this was pretty interesting - it's a video of the game some folks made in response to Jack Thompson's challenge to make a game where the player killed video game designers... and if you don't know what I'm talking about from that, feel free to check wikipedia or penny arcade or something. :D

Had been avoiding posting this... but people who know me in real life already know I'm here, so here's a picture I took of myself when I was in India this spring.  I'm kinda squinty because of the sun, but who cares?

LCD is the way to go.  The issues Plasma had have been reduced, but LCD's still a better choice.  Burn-in and cost are the most easy to cite, but I believe there are refreshing issues as well - if something's not refreshing fast enough, you get blur.

Nope.  I'd probably put myself in the "cautiously optimistic" camp, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.

In the recent(-ish) Civil War storyline, the government finally made the superhero registration thing mandatory.  Every superpowererd person was supposed to tell the government who they really were.  Some thought it was the right thing to do, others didn't.  Tony was the leader of the side who said they should register.  He convinced Peter Parker to go public, following his example from a few years prior (Wikipedia says Tony Stark revealed his identity in 2002).

Captain America was the leader of those who said they shouldn't, which was supposed to be a real shocker, but was actually really obvious, mostly because he'd be the guy the company would think of as a "surprising" choice.  He ended up getting shot and killed at the end of the storyline.

Did you take out the geo panel thingys?  A quick reminder of the level from a walkthrough made me think that level might be a lot easier if you do.

For some reason, this conversation just reminded me of Planescape: Torment.  Specifically, Fall-from-Grace, the succubus who runs the Brothel for Slaking Intellectual Lusts.  That was a cool portrayal of something sexual.

I also fall into the camp where some of my favorite characters are nothing like me.  I can't think of any games I've played where the character was a homosexual male (I'm a straight guy), so I can't think back to a game to see what my reaction to that particular difference was.  I liked Captain Jack in Doctor Who, though...

Sorry - I see now that what I said could be read as a response to your post... but it wasn't. :)  I was just saying my own impressions.

Do you mean how much should you expect to pay for one?

I watch it sometimes... but not always.  Depends on if I have Cartoon Network at the time.  (Hooray for some hotels!)

But I <3 hacking & slashing! :)  I'll take the old "wait and see" approach on this one.

First blood is well and truly yours. I admit defeat in the face of your superior "noticing the forum" skills. :)

Hooray!  I clicked the link, and it makes me sick!  I must have some redeeming characteristics after all!
