I'll run no more. I'm calling you out.
Edit: DAMMIT!
Post-merge edit: What the hell. This is confusing.
Eddy: iris?
Sounds like something for SE++. I don't blame him, though. The frantic scrambling as the thread gets longer is no fun to read.
He's trapped in hell - I don't know why, think it's something to do with the Ennis miniseries that I haven't read yet - and spends the whole like first issue and a half trying to bust out, and he finally does, but Satan's (and for some reason it's really Satan, not Mephisto) all like "lol mindfuck you're still in hell :twisted: " and Johnny's like
I really didn't like the writing or the art at all. The whole thing seems like a giant waste of time.
Infidelity. Go big or go home.
Elk- Cthulu made me do it!
...By that method, no one posts a new one.
And yes, I know. I was scrambling to get one.
From issue 16 I really liked the art, and I do enjoy the massive increase in violence as compared to the 70s Johnny Blaze, but I don't really like them retconning the entire past 2 series. I personally rather liked the Dan Ketch storyline.
Oh well. I'm a whore, I'm still going to try to get the first 15 issues, and at least read the Ennis storyline. Oh, and the secret to life is actually mittens.
Is that it? I was lead to believe it was he or she who posted first.
I honestly don't know.
I just assume that if the lock doesn't say something like "Now everyone scramble!" then someone was given permission to be the author of the new [chat].
Or rice through an Asian.
Or even borscht through a Russian that hasn't made it to America.
Suckers.
ta!
A lot of people thought that. Elks posted a statement to the contrary a little while back.

Boooooooooooooooo Patton.
yesterday, I'm almost certain.
And I have to say, I'm disgusted. Buying a game from it costs 800 "Microsoft Points". But you can't buy 800 points. You can buy 500 for $6.25 or 1000 for $12.50.
So you buy 1000 and get an arcade game. Well now you've got two-hundred left. You -could- buy something lame like gamerpics or a dashboard theme.
Or, you could buy 1000 more points and buy another game. Then you've got four-hundred. Now, the choice is two lame two-hundred point purchases, or buy a thousand more points, and repeat this process until you've spent all your points to avoid "wasting" any money.
Now, at first, I'm thinking, "Oh, Church, you and your cynicism." Then it hits me. If this isn't Microsoft just trying to take advantage of my compulsiveness to milk me for money I never intended to spend, why isn't there an option to just buy 800 points?
Welcome to marketing.
oh, that's right, because money is the most important thing in the world.
Of course that occurred to me, but it just seemed inane. I assumed, in fact, I assumed that we all assumed that points are just more fun than money.
"Real" things on the holodeck are still just forcefields animated and controlled by a dedicated AI, except for like edible food or whatever, which are replicated, but replication takes fucktons of energy, which is why the Federation doesn't have endless fleets of starships.
Shit, nerdbaited.
It's a pretty common colloquialism, so the line from Patton didn't occur to me at all.
That said, I have a new entry for the movies that make me cry thread. The end...when he's walking into the sunset with his little dog...choke.
I'm sad no one picked up on King Lear
