Awesome man. I really liked what I read, just decided to hang off. Probably going to start doing that with more series tbh. Chew, revival and mind mgmt after the holidays I think.
Not sure what the pro has to do with Nintendo, but that's a good price

Why does he wear the mask!?
You haven't read Fables
If I upgrade to a PS4 pro because my system is loud I probably won't get a Switch for money reasons.

Third island, Route 13! I have made no progress today haha my boy couldn't get his pichu to evolve so I said send it to me, and I didn't realise when you trade the pokemon's happiness zeroes for the new trainer, and it was already a decent level, so it's been quicker just to go get a new pichu haha so pretty much just been going through the motions of evolving to pichu then levelling it back up for him this afternoon. Choking to get back in though. Came across alola geodude last night, so cool Rock and electric hybrid too, cool combo
That is where you are wrong.
I have read all of Fables.
A great series, even if it did taper out a bit towards the end.
Not quite as good as Chew though

Hah we could not be further apart on Fables. I appreciate you really dig it though
Totally forgot about my Greninja from the demo

ugh.
it's been how many years now and this one still isn't explained?
I'm not even sure how it will even make sense anymore, given that Thor instantly became worthy again inexplicably during Secret Wars.
Lashley

Didn't he become worthy again, just as he was about to die? Something to do with the fact he was willing to sacrifice himself?

I have the same problem with my og Ps4, so noisy it puts me off a bit. Thinking I might just get a slim alongside horizon though, just skip the pro and wait on the PS pentiple. No idea though. Cashwise it seems wiser to jump in on the pro for say three years of play, but preference wise I really value quiet gaming and no 4k TV here, so maybe a slim. It kind of has me landlocked to be honest, my indecision kept me away from the black Friday deals for both.
Pretty sure the thor thing will finally be resolved in the unworthy mini series.
I just finished the first trial, been working on Pichus happiness to evolve him, and caught a cottonette for my girlfriend who has moon.
Finally have a 3ds of my own so I'm going to try to play alot Tomorrow.
I'd go for slim but it doesn't have an optical port and my receiver doesn't have hdmi, my tv can't do 5.1 pass through. No 4K tv, seems like I'm stuck with loud.
Loud systems...the PS4 pro system I get would probably be loud to spite me.
This is one thing I really like about comics, they are the real whisper quiet.

I'm debating trying comics again (digitally), but video games take up most of my spending money. I want to support this industry, but the price for a comic that takes 15 minutes to read is crazy.
You could try subbing to marvel unlimited, that's the best comics value that includes reading comics. Subs go on sale around conventions and Christmas. ComiXology sales are pretty good too for $1 an issue. I only buy about 12 floppies a month and fill in the rest with trades, MU occasionally, and cmx sales.
Instocktrades.com is the best trade place in the u.s.

I know MU stays about six months behind, but do they add all their titles? If digital comics were all a dollar, I'd be on that every week. I mostly want to read current stuff and stay updated. However, if MU does add their stuff, just six months behind, I could probably jump on that.

Just read the main event.
It's why Billy leaves the League. The idea that a hero would be willing fight another hero like that is an idea he can't reconcile, and Supes really stepped over the line. There's a lot to his side that it can be understood why he reacted a certain way, but at the end of the day, he overreacted in such a way that he didn't care for anyone else. He just needed to be right, which is a fairly recurring flaw with DCAU Superman: he has to be right.
Never explained, but it doesn't matter because he needs a Mjolnir in order for that to be relevant, which he currently doesn't have.

Yeah they add all their new stuff, I think. I recommend downloading the app and trying it out.
If you only want to pay a dollar an issue, that's easily done if you stick to sales, you just won't be up to date

Awesome, really like the whole island trial structure. Allows them to basically do a gym leader if they want but also totally change it up to. That whole happiness thing isn't too bad once you understand it, but pokemon isn't the best about explaining some of it's underlying systems ha. I had that first pichu up to lvl 27 and it wouldn't evolve, grabbed a new one with a friendship ball and it evolved after the first battle I put it through.
Hahah! The only thread on gaf where we can proclaim our experience was as quiet as a church mouse and it would be actually true. That's a pain with the toslink thing though, pro makes sense in that regard. They should really be making all that stuff easy on your end. I genuinely believe my PS4 to be one of the worst offenders for noise, I was afraid to idle at Doom's multiplayer matchmaking screen during the summer days in case of Hell literally erupting out of the machine itself

That's the assumption. But Thor has been willing to sacrifice himself a billion times over. Going down with Hyperion facing impossible odds vs. the Beyonders isn't really something he wasn't willing to do before.
Well, there's one sitting right there, he just hasn't been able to touch it yet.
They're all trying to fool me...but it's not going to work.

like 38 hours in haha
Im pretty sure this now my favorite pokemon game
the story is actually engaging and characters have some depth (not that much but so much more than previous games), theres tons of little details that add to the experience, Alolan designs are nice, theres a lot of charm.

My Pro is NOT quiet. Quieter than the PS4 I traded in, sure, but it's audible. Noise tolerance is subjective, and mine doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm almost positive you'd want to exchange it. A bit of a high pitched whine.
Did you read the tie ins?

This still makes me laugh
not only should Daredevil not be able to lift that gun, not only would he not be able to see a damn thing, but with his increasing super-hearing the sound and vibrations of that gun should probably deafen him
like nobody thought about this scene for more than five seconds, they just wanted a cool moment
Its the higher pitch noise that gets me, I don't mind the whoosh but my PS4 gets higher pitched as it speeds up.

After hating the event so much you're still fine with paying top price for more from the same source.

Black Dragon cut off the other five from the Morphing Grid. They still have their powers, they just couldn't access them. They were able to use the Dragon Coin to tap into their powers since Tommy's connected to the Morphing Grid a different way.
