well, i finally finished my great X-Men read. started with X-Men #1 (1963) and read absolutely everything through Uncanny X-Men #393 (2001). this included (among others) all the issues of Uncanny X-Men, X-Men, New Mutants, X-Factor, X-Force, Generation X, Wolverine, and all the other solos and side stories i could get my hands on (with the notable exclusion of Deadpool). i did the same with Batman a number of years ago, starting with TEC #27 and going through whatever was the last issue before the New52 started. surprisingly, it was approximately the same number of books (over 3,000!) and i finished both projects in about the same amount of time (3 years 4 months for X-Men, 3 years 9 months for Batman). it was incredible journey. i discovered stories i had never heard of, characters i wasn't familiar with that i fell in love with, and gained a deeper appreciation for some characters/arcs that i already had a handle on. "Age of Apocalypse" keeps its rank as my #1 comic book storyline of all time. i had previously read it a few times, but this time, with all the backdrop, was by far the most fulfilling. Nate Grey, X-Man, is my favorite character that i discovered through this read. i knew him from the AoA but always assumed that he was basically Cable-lite in the main continuity. how wrong i was. Speaking of Cable, his stories were wildly inconsistent. My favorites of his were anything that focused on the distant Askani future (i would have predicted these to be my least favorite before i read them) but anything that focused on his militant soldier attitude and leadership was not my cup of tea. the Claremont years are so far above everything else that it's ridiculous. That being said, there was a time when the X-Men were stationed in Australia that pretty much sucked and went nowhere. The initial run of X-Factor, with the 5 original X-Men members reuniting, was also a high point for me. i am taking an X-break for now, but i do have Grant Morrison's "New X-Men" run queued up for whenever i get that itch again. Likely to be followed by Joss Whedon's "Astonishing X-Men" title. If you have any later recommendations, i'd be more than happy to hear them.

yep, that's exactly what i mean. play through each of the levels in the "desert world" one day, next time start fresh with all of the "ice world" levels, etc. i know 3d Land is a bit different, but you get the gist.

i find that Mario games (specifically newer ones) are best played one world at a time. enough to enjoy it, but not so much that it becomes boring. beat one world, save, start playing again next week.

found this list on another forum. haven't ordered from any of these companies except LRG: Limited Run Games https://limitedrungames.com/ Strictly Limited Games https://www.strictlylimitedgames.com/ Signature Edition Games https://signatureeditiongames.com/ Special Reserve Games https://specialreservegames.com/ Super Rare Games https://superraregames.com/ Warned Collecter https://www.warned-collectors.com/ Vblank https://www.vblank.com/ Also Red Art Games, IAm8bit, Fangamer, and Play Asia

is this Mary-Kate Anthony person someone i should know? I don't understand how a long-lost match pops up in the hands of a random fan.

Happy 80th BDay Batman!

i still feel like that should be overturned and ruled a NC.

I was able to snag a copy as well. If anybody missed out, they've got another batch set for sale at 6pm today...

well this looks incredible! *adds to list that already too long

Chance or not, thiago is smashing dudes and has earned a shot.

i want to name my next pet NWO Sting now.

detective comics #1000 out today!

No way does Ronda lose to an armbar, "her move". I don't see her agreeing to that whatsoever.

FYI that celebrity was Frank Trigg, and that story is the exact reason the other posters mentioned him in that way.

I'm with Cliff. i enjoyed each issue as they came out, in a "summer blockbuster" way (plus I'm a big fan of AU stuff) but the way it turned into a total reboot absolutely killed it for me. the damage to the New Teen Titans (who?) alone was enough to make me turn out. discarding the entire Golden Age further pushed me away.

IIRC Burnham eventually did more of the art when it was collected. not sure how much, or if it was only for a certain version, but i kinda remember reading something about that.

a physical release of Cuphead coming to Switch in April? fuck yes!

Axiom Verge for the Wii-U will be my first LRG purchase if all goes well. sorry i don't have more info, just wanted to share my enthusiasm as well.

these pre-PPV USA specials never get talked about. hope they get all of them up sooner or later

i still hesitate before typing "product"" anywhere due to my DVDVR training. thanks, everyone.

this is a new one on me too, but i'm in!

ah, gotcha. i was familiar with the cd interlude. thought maybe the cassette had its own version of it, or an extra verse, or something i never knew i was missing. thanks!

this is news to me. can you elaborate?

i don't know who Vengeance is, but I'm board with the rest of this team. but it needs a female. She-Hulk?

i always get excited for Rizin cards for the aforementioned Pride nostalgia. i cannot fathom why Gabi Garcia garners whatever hype she gets.
