  1. "I'm not hurting anyone by downloading something I wouldn't have bought anyway." Then why are you downloading it?
  2. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Battle for the Cowl begins tomorrow. Check out the first five pages over at IGN Comics. Who is leaving the notes that say "I AM BATMAN?" Where is Nightwing's backup!? Does Robin really not have a crush on Squire?! FIND OUT THE ANSWERS (and more!) TOMORROW!
  3. Peter Parker didn't originally have organic web-shooters, and he doesn't have them now.
  4. Thank you for your valuable contribution to this thread. Really.
  5. Thanks to all the engineers last night who built their sentries right around corners, making them susceptible to a circle-strafing flame thrower, thereby indulging my rampaging pyroness.
  6. Wacky if you're looking for GOOD Spider-man stuff to read, check out Ultimate Spider-man. It takes Peter back to his roots and sort of streamlines years and years of Spider-man continuity. It also helps that only one writer has been on the title for something like 11-12 years; it's incredibly consistent. Once it relaunches with the upcoming Volume 2 (after all this ridiculously stupid ULTIMATUM crap), it will probably be the first and only Marvel book I actually pick up every month, and this is coming from a die-hard DC fan.
  7. Thanks to all the medics last night who indulged my rampaging pyroness.
  8. svchost is a generic process used for a lot of different stuff. It's not uncommon to have a ton of them running in Vista. Prophet is right. You need external heat to keep your computer running? Sounds like your hardware is on the fritz.
  9. No, we're not going to sticky this. Also, a thread already existed, so I merged this with your old thread and put the contents of your post in your first post.
  10. I like HLStats. It's nice to be able to check how I'm doing once in a while. I don't really pay attention to them in-game. Is it possible have it run, but make it so people can't see it while playing? Sort of like a silent mode?
  11. Make sure you download some remixes, yo.
  12. Skies of Arcadia's battle system is poops. Grandia II's battle system is far more fun.
  13. I just want to say that this is a really nicely constructed metaphor.
  14. So...why are you posting in the thread?
  15. Glad to see someone who knows the deal.
  16. Sure it is. I've been killing loads of scouts lately. xD
  17. I moved this to Site Issues because I felt it was a valid concern dealing with the title of a track that already has three remixes here. I thought we already had the source tune listed in the db as "Midna's Desperation," as that's the title I used in my submission email for Tattered Slippers. Guess we didn't add it. OH WELL
  18. I think the series will end with Dick Grayson as Batman and Damien Wayne as Robin. Dick is more Bruce's son than Damien could ever be, and the dynamic between them will be interesting to read, especially because we haven't seen a lot of them together aside from the stuff during Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul, where Dick's inner monologue about Damien was basically just making fun of his costume.
  19. Don't make a new thread for the same topic. Post in the thread that exists.
  20. I don't like it when people play with stats in mind. I do like stats being there so I can see how I'm doing afterwards.
  21. Just to clarify: he runs his server, not our server.
  22. It could happen! Spoiler's actually getting some attention in Gotham Gazette; she's one of the four characters that's being focused on. Robin told her to quit being spoiler in the second-to-last issue of his solo title, because he doesn't want her in danger. But you know Steph. She can't stay out of trouble.
  23. DC doesn't provide a legal digital option for reading their stuff. Sorry. As for summaries not doing the story justice, that's not the point. The point is that you can get by reading Battle for the Cowl just fine if you have a general idea of the premise, which I already explained. But if you're really interested in reading it all, go back to the beginning of Grant Morrison's run on Batman, starting with issue #655 and read from there. It'll give you everything you need to know about the Club of Heroes, the Club of Villains, the Black Glove, William Hurt, Damien Wayne, and the Replacement Batmen. Get Paul Dini's 5-part Heart of Hush storyline, starting in Detective Comics #846. Read Final Crisis as well. And to understand Final Crisis you're probably going to have to read some JLA issues that lead into that and all of Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers mini-series. Oh and reading Ininite Crisis can't hurt either, because that sets up Final Crisis, in a way. And in order to understand Infinite Crisis, you should probably read all the mini series that lead into that... Do you understand what I'm getting at, dude? Yes, reading the original story is the best way to get what you need, but once you read one, you have to keep going back to read more and more to get an even fuller story. Comics are a serial medium; they're always building on what came before. Eventually you just have to say "screw it" and do a quick skim of a couple of wiki articles. But hey, if you're willing to read all that (and much, much more), more power to you.
