Apparently, I am on a DC kick. WHAT.

Always thought of myself as a Marvel girl, but I haven't been thrilled with what I've seen of them lately. Mind you, I am sure if I picked up some good old Spidey comics, I would be ALL OVER that.

( Babble about Watchmen, emo thoughts, and yumyum BATMAN )

tara wtf stop talking, watchmen, batman, emo, life, comics

Muahahaha, the Cult of Batman takes in another victim.

If you liked those, with connections to Gordon, I'll recommend Night Cries (have tissue box on hand though.), The Cult and the Death in the Family arc.

AHAHAHA your icon slays me.

I will have to check those out in a few weeks. I know there were some other comics I wanted to check out at the moment, but I can't for the life of me remember which ones anymore, whoops!

Thanks for the reccs. 8D HAHA, I always need a new place to toss my money at.

TBH, nothing's really stood out and spoke to me as far as Marvel's concerned. :\

shigeruhiko March 10 2009, 12:36:49 UTC

Ahh, I can understand. I grew up with Marvel, you see. Spiderman and The New Mutants. Mind you, the New Mutants was pretty cheesy but to a 14 year old me, well, it worked. Actually, I am inclined to see if there are any Cloak and Dagger GN out there, because that was absolutely lovely when I was younger, I totally loved them.

Marvel's had some good stuff, but as far as single shot stories go, DC's done a LOT better. Marvel's kind of a mess, I'll admit. But I have good memories.

Re: PS3, are they like DVD players where the games are region-specific? If so, I'd wait till you came home to the states and buy one for U.S. region, because those things are hella expensive and there wouldn't be much call to spend a few hundred dollars on something you can only use for less than a couple of years. Just my thoughts.

Even Brian hasn't gotten a PS3 yet. There just haven't been any particularly interesting games to warrant the price tag.

shigeruhiko March 10 2009, 22:42:10 UTC

Yeah, I've been looking around at ebay and stuff, trying to get a US PS3. To be honest, I totally just want it because of Metal Gear Solid 4, so I don't have to borrow my friend's PS3. (Luckily, MGS3 is taking me forever, that game is HUGE. I look forward to the replay though)

I guess, for now, we'll see what happens with Kingdom Hearts 3 and the next FF. Since those are my big draw games, if there are at least three on a system I'd enjoy (plus blueray, which is kinda cool), it'd be more worthwhile then one.

Although I am apparently playing the Devil May Cry series next. Ahaha. >.> And if I like those, that'd up it to four games. . .

I wish someone would have given me a heads up on what it was about earlier--telling me that it's "OMG AMAZING, why haven't you read it???" isn't helpful. Hearing "Oh, it's about regular people who put on costumes and became superheroes, and this is a story about their lives after retirement. Then someone's offing these masked vigilantes, and it's really dark, says a lot about the human condition, and is a complex, gripping story." If I would have heard that (simplified and not quite adequate enough), I would have picked it up sooner.

THIS.

Man, why is it so difficult to explain WHY something is awesome. Yes, yes; I got it. [x] is AWESOME OH MY GOD I SHIT MY PANTS IT'S SO GOOD YOU SHOULD TOTTLY READ IT!!!!!111!!
The question is why is it awesome. Tell me why I need to read it, like, right this second. God, is that really that a) hard or b) confusing?

shigeruhiko March 10 2009, 22:44:55 UTC

Seriously! What is wrong with explaining to me just a little of what it's about? I realize that for some, this is like the holy grail of comics, even so, telling me just a little what it's about would have been great.

I have NO IDEA why people are like this. Usually, it just ruins something entirely for me. Just tell me, IT IS NOT THAT HARD. GAH people.

YESSSSSSS. GARTH NIX IS LOVE.

Re: Watchmen...I read the comic and saw the movie, so feel free to ask me your disturbing scene question. If (and I am just guessing) it's the one in Rorschach's back story with the dogs...yes, it was in the movie. It was presented just about identically to what was shown in the book, I think. Most of the movie was pretty much straight from the book...

I should read The Killing Joke someday. Yay Batman!

shigeruhiko March 11 2009, 08:36:43 UTC

The Killing Joke was awesome, were you here I would lend it to you.

And yeah, it's that scene. I'll just have to take someone with me to tell me when it's okay to look. I can't really take violence against dogs and cats very well, dogs moreso probably because I've lived wit them. (Ugh, it was hard enough to read.) Thanks for the info<3
