Well, I could just fire up the DS I own currently. Or the GBA. Or the GB. Or the Wii. Or the GameCube. Or the N64. Alas, the Super Nintendo bit the dust...
(although, I was a sucker- I did get Chrono Trigger DS for X-mas)
Initially posted about it in the wrong motw thread (that's what I get for being a week behind...where does my time go?), but X-Force...man, that ending hit me hard. When it comes to death in fiction, I believe two things:
A. In high-violence settings like comics, there really ought to be more of it. I encourage random, unexpected deaths and maimings because that's what ought to happen in fights where so many lethal people are throwing around so much firepower, often with the specific intention of killing and maiming. If I was writing comics, every scene where Vision/Red Tornado/Wolverine gets blown up, would probably be replaced by another character where the killing blow actually meant something.
B. Every character has at least one big story to tell, and in the interest of good literature, their story should be told before they bite it.
So I'm unhappy with this one because the post-Nextwave Boom Boom was essentially a brand new character, with potential, and now it's gone before they even did anything with her. I'm especially pissed off because I'm a big Cyclops fan, and his decision was just completely nonsensically retarded. Maybe if they'd thrown in a panel explaining why they had to be sent that second, or something.
It also sucks because such a terrible scene followed a great "Hit the button, Hank" quote.
I'm kinda hoping they get back in time for Elixir to magic her brains back in or something. Also, I admit to being curious what would happen if Elixir healed the Leper Queen.

Are you by any chance a DC comics editor?
I was going to warn him that the threatening calls are coming from inside his house, but now I think he'd be pleasantly surprised to find out for himself.

I think you're going to see her come back, especially now that we've seen the time-travel devices the team used aren't working as planned in the Messiah War one-shot.
I mean, they'd have no way to save the hostages that were still alive unless they came back at an earlier point anyway, and I doubt even Kyle and Yost would kill off so many New X-Men characters that they spent a lot of time building up.
I'm also hoping they go back in time and are able to save her.
Frankly though, my only wish right now is that they stop drawing Hope with such a huge freaking head.

Somebody didn't read Yost's run on New X-men.
But still... Hellion and Noriko were like, the golden children of the New X-Men...

Yeah, I did, but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here.
They had plenty of opportunities to kill some off from Quest for Magik through the end of the series, and yet they all lived IIRC. There is some hope there.

In any case, there's a DSi thread elsewhere.
