yeah, i read that too. i was under the impression that's why it was delayed from March until April. my bigger problem is that i don't know when to expect it. Marvel.com shows that it's already available. being a reprint title (right now) this isn't a series that gets a lot of press or discussion, and i would like to keep picking it up, but they're making it increasingly difficult.

so apparently MiracleMan: The Silver Age #1 didn't come out this week, either. wish Marvel.com would update their webpage. as of today, 4/7, it still shows that it came out this week. but since my LCS didn't have any,, there's no copies on eBay, and there's nothing online (legally or otherwise), i'd say that's incorrect. how hard can it be to re-release a comic that was published like 25 years ago?

finally finished up Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3ds. 9 hours, 13 minutes of playtime, spread out over about 6 weeks. When i bought this game, my buddy told me that he called it "Hand Crampicus" because of the awkward way you have to hold the 3ds to play. He was 100% correct. I wasn't able to play more than one "chapter" at a time, and thus it would usually sit for a few days to a week between levels. There are a total of 25 chapters. the gameplay was pretty neat, as there are two different control schemes, and you use both in each level. Pretty novel, and rather fun too. The game itself was quite easy. there's a sliding difficulty scale that you can set each time you start a level. i played at 3.5 ("advanced" or something) and didn't have much trouble. what i DIDN'T like was that if/when you died in a level, the difficulty automatically got easier and you started practically at the point you perished. i felt it cheapened the challenge too much. on the other hand, the only thing the difficulty does is make the enemies take more hits and you take less before death. One thing that really stood out is the fact that the main character, Pit, is CONSTANTLY talking to whatever various gods are involved. like, non-stop. every single level, every waking moment. just jabbering on and on and on. it leaves the game very little time to "breathe" because there's a constant assault on your senses. on a scale of 10, i'd probably give it a 5 1/2. nothing worth going out of your way to play, but a fun use of time.

so, it's been over a month since the last episode aired. i don't follow TV rumors and whatnot, but i would think enough time has passed to get all the ratings and whatever the networks need. so, is there anything else in the works? a new full season? movie? netflix revival? strike while the iron's hot and all that.

oh man, my wife is in love with JL/JLU. she also was a big fan of Young Justice. didn't enjoy Avengers: EMH at first, but i think she was really into it by the end. Have you tried Batman: Brave and the Bold? easily my 2nd favorite animated Batman (after the '90s animated series of course) edit: or Mike Tyson Mysteries? (Season 1 is pretty rad but s2 isn't as good) today is the first i've heard of Justice League vs Teen Titans. will have to check it out. still haven't picked up Batman: Bad Blood tho. wait, she hates Archer? kick her to the curb.

UR Fight 3-21-16 - The Inaugural Voyage Into the Iceberg
twiztor replied to MGFanJay's topic in BOXING & MMA
watched this event the other day. it wasn't bad enough to be terrible but wasn't good enough to be great. i enjoyed it for what it was. Whoever that commentator is that's not JR or Rampage seemed to do a REALLY good job during the MMA portion of the show. JR shined during the Angle/Mysterio match, and Rampage was exactly what you'd expect. the boxing match did nothing for me, and i surmise i'm not the only one, as the arena emptied out following the prowres match. after the Sonnen/Bisping 'grappling' match, the audio gets quiet and you could hear someone without a mic saying "i'm probably the biggest grappling nerd here and even i didn't enjoy that" before the audio kicks back in. definitely the highlight of commentary for me. also, Rampage name dropping JYD. highly doubt there'll be another UR Fight event, but i'd probably watch it if there was. -
please elaborate or link to said hilarity. i could use a good laugh.

has there ever been a wrestler less interesting than Van Hammer? the dude has been through a number of gimmicks, was generally pushed to some extent, but was just bland as hell. i couldn't name a single memorable match or promo he was part of.
-
so i just started reading Claremont's X-Men run for the first time. oh. my. god. i'm like 7 issues in and i'm in love.
-
it depends on the person/personality. some people are hyped up as the best of all time~! and when they lose, it definitely harms their reputation. Fedor and Rousey spring to mind. if Rickson had stuck around and faced top competition, he would fall under this umbrella also. other people have more of a "big presence" where wins and losses don't necessarily matter as much. Conor seems to fall under this banner, although his next two fights (especially if he loses this rematch) will really show us what to expect.
-
agreed on all points. this rematch boggles the mind.
-
hmm, must have missed that announcement. thanks!
-
what happened to shogun vs rashad evans? i thought that fight was coming up?
-
just bought NBA Jam for the Super Nintendo. specifically, a hack of the original game that adds the missing players (Michael Jordan, among others) back in. It is glorious.
-
yeah, i don't know what board that belongs on. also, i'm not sure if i'm interested in watching it. i mean, i'll watch it, but i really don't know why. i honestly just hope i have nothing else going on whatever day this card happens. it is potentially the most mark-tacular wrestling slash mma card in US history.
-
not to mention that this would've been the time when most of the bigger stars had moved on and were currently in the "big leagues" (WCW had Sandman, Raven, Saturn, and Mikey Whipwreck; WWF had the Dudley Boyz & Scorpio). Hell, Taz left ECW less than a month after the first episode of ECW on TNN. Sabu likely heard from some of these guys that he could be making much more money for much less work. Hell, he would've known, since he spent a few weeks in WCW in 1995.

riiiiight. all Dos Anjos needs to do is defend his belt about 10 more times until he's cleared out the congestion of Lightweight contenders. seriously. the champion of the most stacked division of the UFC should not be weight jumping. he's got a loss vs. #2 ranked Khabib. he hasn't fought the #1 (Alvarez) or #4 (Ferguson) contender. and he also hasn't fought #6-8 or the #10 contender
-
I'm shocked ........ shocked I tell you. Slice/Dada5000 has now been changed to a no contest. let's be honest. nobody considered that a win in any way, shape, or form for anybody anyway.
-
Nate Diaz likely gets a high profile title eliminator match. Lightweight has too many possible contenders to jump Nate to the top of the list, especially since he already was destroyed by RDA. Rousey immediately "ready to come back" is a bitch move. i hope she's still got depression issues and Tate beats her ass.
-
fuck yeah miesha tate!
-
how did Beastin win that one?
-
mania '17 being in orlando makes me sad. guess i won't be watching live.
