Going to the official leagues they held around. I always went to the one at Walden Books. Got those real badges, made other kids cry with my deck. I have my old foil Lapras card somewhere in my car too, need to look for that.

Lex Luthor battle mech is kinda cool.

Haven't seen that yet, I'll have to check it out. I have only been following it casually but it already looks a lot better than MK vs DC, I have faith in the studio after the MK reboot - loved the shit out of that game for casual fighting fun.
Maining Aquaman for sure.
edit: MK was super fun, P4A filled a similar casual fighter void for me.

Dude we need to play some P4A matches sometime, I know I have you on my PSN list. If you have Tekken Tag 2 I'd like to play some matches too, always more fun to play with people I know than random gaffers.
you don't even have the hat
oh shit

It's like New Super Mario Bros. Wii when everyone has invincibility stars.
my log knows what's going on. it saw something.
Are they more expensive in Brazil? The good thing about them nowadays is that you really get two packs when you buy the boosters: one digital and one physical. The online thing can be kind of buggy, but we're having a lot of fun with it too.
So much fun! Not so much for our wallets.
They actually still sell them like at supermarkets down here and at Target. It's not the original run (which I had every card of. Yeah, I was that kid.) but rather the Black & White series 'cause apparently everything else isn't legal anymore for tournament play. Damn you and your luck though! I still remember opening my first booster. I got a Mewtwo which is a better Pokemon, but a worse card than those two. No I haven't been following it except for knowing that Catwoman is a playable character and her boobs aren't hanging out so I'll buy it for just that.
Couldn't find anything about Kevin. The 52 costumes you can get if you preorder the collectors edition, apparently. But ehhh 52. I used to do this too! I killed with a Mr. Mime deck though. That shit was gimmicky as hell. After a certain point, the only way to stop it was a Colorless deck, but almost no one ran those. I'm contemplating joining a league again because I'm that much of a dork. That and I'm staying in Miami and all my friends from here moved up north. So I only know three people (all real pic gaffers haha) that live in the area. I might have more of chance making friends with elementary kids at one of these things though than anyone else.

Not a big fan of the new 52? I haven't really gotten into it so I am probably not a great judge, I like 90s Batman for what it's worth. Good to know they didn't take the low road and over sexualize Catwoman although I am sure they will for some of the other females :\
edit: sorry for the double post meant to add this in to my former reply.
It's like 15 bucks for one of the dragons exalted booster packs. Like 5 for one of the regular ones. I think it's more expensive than compared to the US prices. A deck here costs about 25 bucks, unless it's an imported one from the US that hasn't been translated yet, then it's like 60 :|. My friends are playing the digital game but I haven't played too much of it yet since my deck hasn't actually arrived yet. Once it does though, I look forward to obliterating people with poison.
Nu52 Catwoman got in some trouble when it was first released. They hyper-sexualize her all over the place. Plus the stories just aren't very good.
You should catch up on some Nu52 Batman, it has been solid to amazing throughout the run.

Can I be part of this, or is it frown upon to start this late? I just got unjuniored today and I think this will make me feel more part of the forum.
You're welcome to join those who still have their pics up!

Is this like a meta tread for sharing stuff? I don't have much to share except that I start my last semester of college early tomorrow and I can't sleep.
The only female characters seem to be Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Harley Quinn. Super disappointing. I was hoping for more B and C listers. Maybe as DLC. I would kill for a game with Big Barda as a playable character.
I haven't been reading the new 52 since there are just a lot of things I'm not happy with (and 'cause I haven't been picking up ANY comics recently). But oh la1n, I totally forgot to tell you! A senior editor at DC is interested in seeing some of my writing!
Oh shit. The booster packs here each cost about $3.75 US dollars. Sometimes even cheaper online. Shit. That IS expensive. And the decks are around $18. What the hell. :/ Let me know when you get online though if you want to play a few matches!
Such a shame too considering what Darwyn Cooke and Ed Brubaker did with her relaunch back in the early 2000's.
Are you actually making a "dat ass" face? lolol

Ah yeah I wanted to get back to you about that. You adviced me to read the Nu52 and I must say....thanks...I read the Night of the Owls and it was fucking awesome. It was Batman as I love him best.
Now for a question [major Batman spoiler...dont read if you haven't completely read Night of the Owls]
Do you think Lincoln March was Thomas Wayne Jr? I personally do

That is a disappointing female count, depressing. I would have liked to seen some Big Barda representation as well. That is amazing news, I am very proud of you
I am not on Facebook to keep up with things much anymore so PM me and let me know how things go and any time you are visiting!Acid I def need to check out nu52 Bats, it's been a long time since I have followed any of his comics and I need some new reads. I am getting back into my comic book nerd phase as of late.

Yeah it can get really expensive, sometimes it's just better to buy separate cards instead of a booster and try to get lucky with it. I'll let you know, I just need my deck to arrive first. A deck that has been taking like a month to get here. Ugh.

I don't really read comics but I did read and enjoy the original 52 in spite of not knowing most of the background stuff going on.
My favorite part was when the
Crocodile Four Horseman robot ate Black Adam's crippled adoptive son
Oh and congrats! You still haven't shown me any of your writing.

Nah the lot of us that tend to stick together since last year keep in touch in the community thread year round, IRC, tinychat, etc.
That's what you think horse! In the RPGAF thread the party never stops!
Marvel and Image are where the more exciting creative teams are right now. I always love to give suggestions to anyone looking for something to read. I picked up the first trades of Prophet(Brandon Graham) and Winter Soldier(Brubaker) today, hoping they're as good as I've heard.
Pau, get hired by DC and produce a book that saves comics!

I've never being much of a comic book reader, I do love the animated movies DC/Marvel have in netflix. Under the Red Hood and Justice League Doom among the latest I've seen, both really good.

If anyone can do it, Pau can
I mostly keep up with anything Mike Mignola is doing but I am looking to branch out since I think now would be a good time to jump back in with DC and Marvel.
The animated stuff ranges from complete crap to fantastic but fortunately it's usually more of the latter than the former. The new TMNT is a guilty pleasure >_>

I saw Under the Red Hood too a few days ago. Really liked it.

I haven't seen one that I hated yet, but I'm fairly easy to please. Nickelodeon's TMNT is a great show, It's one of the few shows that makes me genuinely laugh sometimes.

Are you reading Hellboy In Hell? It's quite dope so far. It's the perfect time to jump into Marvel/DC stuff. Although there is always something on Image worth checking out. =D
I found that the DC animated movies seem to be better in pretty much respect compared to the Marvel movies. Planet Hulk was especially bad. New TMNT is pretty cool
. The series IDW is publishing right now is really fun, it's written by Kevin Eastman!

RPJ is a way of forming lifetime bonds. The friends you make here will last a lifetime. It's like summer camp. Or a fraternity where the only demeaning hazing you have to endure is posting on GAF.
