A selection of threads that belong in offtop: Should I physically harm my friend? I hate "fail" so much Battle of the Pics What are you listening to? Today I had to fight to the death with an intestine.

Threads about video games and anime don't belong in offtop. Moved.

They just used his music software. It's used in a lot places; there's actually a whole scene dedicated to pxtone stuff.

It's still Wednesday, so I'm still taking art.

I'm going with the textless version.

There are three main Bat-titles that DC publishes right now: Batman, Detective Comics, and Batman Confidential. Batman is focused more on developing Batman as a character and telling the BIG Batman stories, like RIP. Detective Comics is (obviously) more about Batman solving crimes. If you're a fan of The Animated Series, this is the title for you. Batman Confidential is where DC tells stories from Batman's history; it's not a title that ties into the current happenings in the DCU. The story arcs are contained. As for a starting point with Batman, I'd recommend grabbing the Batman & Son trade paperback. It's the first story arc in Grant Morrison's run (he's the current writer of the series). I think Club of Heroes is after that, and a few more story arcs that all lead into Batman RIP, which is the big story going on right now. Detective Comics is more of a one-shot/two-parter book, so you're generally safe just jumping in anywhere, except for the current story arc, Heart of Hush, which is a 5-part sequel to Batman: Hush (which is available in two trade paperbacks; recommended). Heart of Hush just started last issue, so that's not a bad jump-on point either, so long as you read Hush. With Confidential, you're pretty much all set grabbing an issue whenever a new story arc starts, because the story arcs aren't linked together; there are different creative teams and they take place in different points in Batman's history. The current story-arc is a really hilarious story about the first time Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) met Catwoman; it's three issues in. There are a ton of other older Batman stories you can get, but I assumed you were asking about following the new stuff and keeping current with the character. EDIT: Also want to stress: don't even attempt to read Batman RIP if you don't know what's been going on in Batman comics lately; you will get lost and hurt your brain.

Then don't make arguments about actors accurately or inaccurately portraying the character based on how they're presented in the comics. Wow, you actually missed the joke.

read more comics Yeah seriously. I mean, read Batman right now. Joker in the RIP storyline is right in line with Ledger's Joker, perhaps even more psychotic.

Then it's not really Star Fox, is it? :\

Once I get all the album art subs, I'm going to send it to bLiNd and Jade first. After they listen to it and enjoy it and all that, we'll start setting up a release for the unwashed masses.

Yes, just make sure you mention it and nobody will yell at you. xD

Here's what I want to know: Is it an MMO like all other MMOs where you just grind monsters, or is it an actual game that you play? Am I rewarded for playing-skill instead of time-spent-playing? MMOs are always attractive to me because they're free and they usually have some nice art direction and graphics, but they're inevitably not-fun because I basically end up grinding monsters with auto-attack. I don't really like standing there watching my character attack a monster and occasionally throwing a spell in.

Not really all that important.

Keep 'em coming guys. Oh, and concerning the "disc" issue. This is a digital release, so there's no disc 1 and disc 2. The songs aren't really arranged in any particular order except mine being first and zircon and pixietricks' being last. There's no specific song where one disc stops and the other one starts. That being said, I don't really need "rear" cover art. Submit it if you want, but if you just want to send something for the front, that's fine too.

I love how I'm still not on the list. xD

Thread locked?

I realize you're new, but you should at least look around a little before posting a request, because we have a request forum. Thread moved and retitled.

Yeah. As a Cassandra player, I can tell you that I'm absolutely helpless as Sophitia.

I agree, but let's not forget that David Goyer has been pretty instrumental in writing these two movies. It's not just Nolan (and his brother).

Q is Start and R is reset. Also, is the opening stage in this anywhere? :\

Album stuff is here, there's another thread for bLiNd himself. Anyway! Album art makers! Here's the tracklist. http://shariqansari.com/blind-album-tracklist.html I'll accept all submissions for album arts; just give me a front and back. I'd also prefer you draw something yourself instead of photoshopping sprites and stuff, but it's not a total dealbreaker. Remember: the title of the album is Super Metroid ~Reserve Tank VARIAtions~. Get 'em in to me by Wednesday!

As mentioned in the latest writeup, Our Illustrious Pretzel is officially engaged! So congratulations to David and Anna!

Uh, there's an easier way. Just look at the upper right corner of the channel settings window and drag the LCD display marked "FX" to whatever mixer channel you want it set to.
