He did this with Spider-Men in a way that didnt made me shake my head at the explanation that peter was "keept somewhere" after he pronounced that he is officially out of ideas when he would bring him back. I really didnt needed a Ultimate Peter Parker/Miles Team Up, since it absolutly broke his Death of Spider-Man story which I consider perfect and one of my favorite modern Spider-Man stories. One of the Books that really left me with a bad feeling behind and I am just sad that he had to do this in the last breaths of his run.

But I have to admit that your love for his X-Men books often make me want to start reading it, but its not yet finished in OHCs so I havent taken it out of the shelf.

The Uncanny OHCs are gonna take a while as the first one just came out. But I think they are really great stories overall that in parts have rough patches but they also have some really great highs. The art is never shit in either book. The caliber of artists he gets to work with in those books is kind of nuts.

I dunno, I bet GH is a secret SAO fan.

Also, Batman is getting a Telltale game this summer? oh my.

It had a teaser at the game awards
 
Heh, I was looking for a prompt to accept the invite, but it didn't tell me what to press. :(

Also, I was in the middle of a boss fight I ended up just getting too frustrated with. I have to level a bit more.
I've learned story missions are like dungeons. They should always be run with others. Even one additional random helps a TON

Send me a message on PSN when you hop on. I'll get via my PlayStation iPad app and hop on

I don't usually watch game award shows. :p

Yeah, can't wait. I hope they've fixed their damn engine this time around, though.

Ha ha ha, that's a good one. I don't know what other people have experience, but since Telltale started doing games on PS4, I've noticed a drastic drop in how much stuttering their is in their games. I've barely noticed any.

If any game engine really needs an upgrade, it's Bethesda's. That thing needed a revamp several years ago.

I'll hit you up when I play again. I've also got the new Senran Kagura game that I'm working through, and I just started watching S2 of Daredevil last night.

Game of Thrones had plenty of problems when I played it. Haven't played any of the others on PS4.

Those games are massive, though. A certain amount of bugs/glitches are understandable. I honestly don't know why Telltale games run like shit.

I streamed the whole thing in one day. I have problems.

Tales of Borderlands ep 4 final 30 mins or so for me was stuttering every 3-5 seconds and pausing for 2 seconds at a time. Made it unplayable. Restarted it and reinstalled it still the same problem. Never been so let down by a developer. A big ending to that episode was ruined for me. all my decisions were auto picked or picked blindly.
 
He's playing Tera so honestly? You're probably right.

I know people who are obsessed with Elins.

Game of Thrones had plenty of problems when I played it. Haven't played any of the others on PS4.

Technical issues were the least of the game's problems.

oh, no. I understand that. It would be literally impossible to squash every bug in those games. But I'm speaking more in terms of visuals. The textures and everything looks dated as it is. I know building a new engine is a daunting process, but they have to do it sooner or later.

See, I didn't have that issue. A stutter here and there, sure. But for the most part everything ran smooth. I have to wonder if there isn't some part of these performance hitches that vary from console to console.

We should be getting a new engine with the next Elder Scrolls game. I think they keep an engine around long enough to at least facilitate an entry in both the Elder Scrolls and Fallout series.

Damn. That's worse than anything I've experienced. Glad I skipped that one.

To be fair to it. I haven't heard of anyone else having issues that severe. Tales of the borderlands is their best game other than Walking Dead season 1. Both are fairly close to each other too. You shouldn't skip it. Even if you don't like borderlands it stands alone.
 
I resubbed to MU and read the Demon Bear arc from New Mutants, which was good. Art is fuckin great though, i believe this is the proper first Bill Sienkewicz comic i've read. Weird that they go out of their way with the subplot/ending of the cop and the nurse becoming Indians permanently though and then reaffirm that it's permanent a few pages later

I like Borderlands, but I've never given a shit about the story so it was an easy pass for me. If it rivals season one of Walking Dead I might pick it up when it is really cheap eventually.
 
Started reading Carl Barks' duck books. (Christmas on Bear Mountain specifically). Product of its time and all that but the racial stereotypes/racism is a bit much.

I would put it slightly above Walking Dead. Its really funny and has some great emotional punch. It actually gives Borderlands some compelling characters and good story. Also no claptrap and 2 wonderful robots instead.

first Scrooge McDuck appearance!

Yeah, that was good fun. Sets the tone for Scrooge perfectly.

What is interesting to me though is the rather large variation in the detail from panel to panel. There are some workmanlike panels (and I am not using that term negatively - the art is still good and very expressive). And then suddenly, we get super detailed panels.

Maybe it was a time optimisation thing or it is intentional to add more emphasis where needed.
 
Still, why are missles hitting Donald Duck? This is disturbing.

:D

If you want to know the absurd circumstances of how he gets in that situation...

His nephews draw a treasure map for fun and throw it away. Donald finds it, thinks it is a real map and finds a location in New Mexico. Which just turns out to be a target zone on a missile test site.

They totally did that on purpose. Want him out of the way for the inheritance. Huey, Dewie and Louie are assholes.
