Lol Thanks!
I just realized that it's appropriately timed with the EU Avengers 2 release.

Sounds good. I flipped through it but wasn't sure on whether to buy, I'll see if the shop has it in tomorrow

I flipped through it in the shop. What is it about?
That art reminds me so much of Darwin Cooke.

Stop eating taco bell?
Basic gist is a manned exploratory mission to Mars go horribly awry and crashes on an unknown planet. Hijinks ensue.

Girly hijinks or regular kind?
I wish I could

So it's basically Nameless if you swap horror for hijinks?

Fuckballs, that reminds me. I still need to grab the Mad Love Deluxe Edition from IST. Was gonna buy it this week, but the Aphrodite IX hardcover didn't show up yet.
Edit: oh, fuck me! It got pushed back to July 31st!? Image gonna Image.
... I thought it was itentionelly by you
Welp. Hard to describe my feeling about Avengers 2. I dont even feel nearly as pumped back then three years ago. But then again I almost knew nothing about the movie, just that all the Marvel heroes now come together and Iron Man is in this and his movies were awesome.
It just feels normal now and Avengers 2 doesnt have those epic shots like the 360 Degree Assemble scene or the suiting up scene or the living comicbook panel, where your inner comicbook nerd wants to move your hand in your underwear.
Also
they cutted away before Cap could finally say "Avengers Assemble.
Anyway. Great movie. It just feelt way to different than the first movie.
And there is no way we will get Hawkdude

Glad to hear. I'm seeing a 7PM show next Thursday night. My LCS has a theater reserved just for their customers (and it's not a big shop). Only saw a dozen or so people signed up for it so far.
About how long is it?
2 1/2 hours.

That's cool, but it's hard to get even remotely excited for something that is 2 years out. I would have held off on the announcement if I were them.
the movie division has announced movies til like, 2019? I guess they have to do it because they're publically traded and investors need to know what they're doing

I really wish somebody other than Telltale would start making Telltale games. I love their stories, but everything else (especially on the technical side of things) leaves a lot to be desired. Grabbed the first episode of the GoT game while it was on sale on X1, and my god, it is hideous.

Finished the first deluxe hardcover of Y: The Last Man. Some really good stuff, can't wait to see where the series goes from here. The cliffhanger at the end of the second arc was a good one.
As for comics this week, Deadly Class was amazing and it's nice to have Velvet back, even if it does mean the end of it's second arc.

Good point.
Ugh, no kidding. I love the Telltale games, but technically they are pretty bad.
It keeps getting better and better. Enjoy it, man.
The last telltale game I played was walking dead season 1 so I guess this is good news for me.
There's this thing called "Life is Strange" and "Broken Age"

I got Life is Strange the other day and it has me doing one of those I'm liking it too much so i don't want to play it so it can last forever things.
It's really nothing like Nameless at all other than being sci-fi.
Regular hijinks. Chip pitched it as "gay Saga" if that means anything to you.
Also, 200cc Frantic mode Baby Park in Mario Kart 8 is fucking glorious.

Fables looked good artistically (and sounded great) but I never got past episode 2 due to the "choices" being horseshit and the stupidity of ending an episode with a
Snow White dies
Just kind of felt like my intelligence was being insulted at points.
Gay Saga is the best pitch ever. I love Chip.
I think my only real gripe with it is that at times it really feels like it's a french game trying to be an american narrative take on highschool dramas of the 80s-90s.
It's really damn good at it, but you kinda still feel that it's not 100% culturally savvy.
I would love a Platinum Marvel game. I would also love an Obsidian RPG in the Marvel universe too.
Make that RPG AoA or Inferno based and we're good to go.
Any RPG sounds good haha!
Anyways, I gotta read the rest of my comics this week. I read the whole Ales Kot Twitter rant saga, I laughed so hard when he started calling people parasites- is he the opposite to Andrew Ryan? Lol.
I'm pretty convinced that he's done at Marvel soon. All of that meta-superhero stuff in Winter Soldier was out there and it seems like he's had enough.

You didn't like X-Men Destiny? Lol
Ahh X-Men Destiny. I Redboxed it but couldn't finish it. There's a cutscene where Colossus bursts through a door except it would never load the Colossus model and then freeze before the scene was over.

Being a dumb X-Men fan I paid full price for that game.
