Congrats, man. Its a great feeling to be recognized for good work.

doug_heffernan October 13 2007, 01:27:18 UTC

Thanks and hell yes it feels good! It gives me an even stronger sense of purpose to do my best at work.

What have you been up to? Have you seen the Doomsday Superman movie yet?

shawn_henehan October 13 2007, 02:00:12 UTC

I haven't seen that yet. I was wondering if they were going to make a Reign of the Supermen sequel though (thats when he came back to life as four different people).

Not much has been going on here, just school and work. We got the high speed internet finally and I've been playing some old school Team Fortress. Its been fun.

Oh you don't have to explain it to me. I have all the issues of Reign. My favorite would be the Eradicator. It will probably never happen though.

I am still waiting for a Superman movie sequel or a Justice League movie. Of course I am still counting the days until The Dark Knight!

Team Fortress...that just came out for the 360. Team Fortress 2 I believe (The Orange Box).

Reign was when I got into Superman, and I loved every issue of it. Of course, that then led into my love of Green Lantern.

The Justice League movie could be great, if they do it right. From what I've read about it lately, the studio seems to be on the right track. It stars the big 7, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter.

That Team Fortress 2 game looks beautiful. I probably won't get around to buying that one until the next box set comes out with Half-Life Ep. 3 ( I assume it will all be packaged together again for that release). But until that time, I've got 1999-era graphics and a smooth connection. I'm happy.

Yeah that was cool how during Reign Green Lantern had a melt down after Mongul wiped out Coast City. I have most of those issues too.

I like how Hal Jordan was so mad and his will so strong, he defeated all the GL's the Guardians could throw at him...even a newly released Sinestro.

There was one cover of GL with a close up of his face tingling mad with power holding up his hands with all of those rings on them. That would be a cool animated movie too.

One part of Reign I didnt care for that much was the Steel portion. I mean, ok, yes have some diversity, but his name is John Henry Irons...aka American Folklore of John Henry. He was cheesy and if someone could make a metal suit that can fly, you would think he would come up with a better weapon than just a huge sledge hammer.

The games I am waiting for right now are the new Burnout, Mass Effect, and Kane and Lynch: Dead Men.

The latest issue of Green Lantern had a variation of that cover. It was almost exactly the same, except instead of Green Lantern rings, its yellow Sinestro rings (Sinestro just started up his own corps, they all have yellow rings).

I like Steel. He is the only one of those heroes still left. Eradicator has been out of the picture for a while now, Cyborg was evil to begin with (and is now a member of the Sinestro Corps), and Superboy died a little over a year ago (the creation of Superboy is currently tied up the courts and DC can't have him appear in any of their comics anymore).

A new Burnout game would be awesome right now. I could SO go for some party crash. Mass Effect looks great too, I loved the KOTOR games from that studio. Assassins Creed is looking pretty good as well.

doug_heffernan October 15 2007, 18:23:38 UTC

I am sure Sinestro's rings come from Qward don't they?

I liked the evil cyborg Supes.

Steel......argh....noooo. Thats cool if you like him, but man, after the movie with Shaq in it, I pretty much swore him off.

Superboy in court, thats funny. Your Honor, I object! This boy is not even human! He is just a Kryptonian and should therefore not be held responsible for his own creation or being alive. I rest my case.

I would like to see more Flash stuff.

IGN.com has some cool what if Justice League movie plots and characters.
