Surprising to hear that praise over Uncharted 4. I loved the previous three games, and assumed I was in for more of the same. I slightly disagree on the length evaluation, though. You're right that quality and enjoyment Donald Trump length, but $60 for a 6 hour game can leave me frustrated if I don't get into multiplayer. I do prefer a great, fully realized story over 40 hours of bloat, though.

I also loved The Order 1886 when I bought it for $10, so maybe I just have horrible taste in games!

I understand. I didn't dislike Uncharted 4, but the story started pretty slow and took about half the game to really get going.

Got it, thanks! I realize it's totally just a preference thing that doesn't make it inherently worse or anything, but when I'm buying an Absolute where it's priced at such a "deluxe edition" level, I really want to make sure I'm 100% satisfied that this'll be the best edition of the thing for me to have on my shelf.

Isn't it because that collection has both the colours from the single issues and the tpb recolour? It kinda makes sense to me why they would make two separate books if that's the case

I've been pretty lukewarm on Soule's run on Daredevil so far, but I really enjoyed the 2-part casino arc with Spidey. It felt very Waid-y. Did not care for the Elektra story much at all though. Equally a hit and miss trade for me, and both stories in the annual are pretty forgettable.

I have little interest in shooters these days, Overwatch got me good but i had already given up on Halo/Duties/Battlefield after i played 4 a lot. I disliked the aim movement in battlefield and i'm so used to Overwatch now, i am not sure about getting into another shooter. I'll rent them both eventually. I bought CoD Advanded Warfare cheap at a gamefly used sale last holiday and still haven't played it.

Huh. That does indeed seem to be largely what's going on. Should the single issue colors look THAT blurry, though, I wonder? Never read it in that format, but... not sure I'll be utilizing that part of the book(s), myself. But yeah, if nothing else, this proves I should look into what exactly I'm buying more carefully in the future rather than going "Absolute+Year One? Works for me!" while knowing nothing about what they're doing with the actual product.

Roughly 65% into Teen Titans by Geoff Johns omnibus. It's excellent. Also about 50% into the New Teen Titans by Wolfman/Perez Vol. 1 tpb. Also excellent. I love Perez art so much.

My PS4 started nicely then became an airplane turbine. But they're advertising the Pro as significantly more quiet. Extra size helps.

I'm going to agree with you. If you can get into the multiplayer, it's one of the most satisfying experiences. Personally, it's my favorite game this year.

Sounds like a good choice. Worried PVP might not be my thing or be dead if I don't pick it up now.

So I'm watching GOTG on FX, first time since the theaters and there's one part that caught my attention.

Is it really Ronan>>drax?

Maybe, Miller and Mazzuchelli and Richmond Lewis wanted Year One to feel really lo-fi in singles (newsprint, part of the Batman ongoing, using the colour limitations of the printing process at the time versus the "prestige" format for DKR and all the fancy stuff that entailed) but otoh maybe DC just fucked up the colours. I don't think the single issues colouring has ever been reprinted fwiw, though I'm not certain about that.

e: it being a fuckup isn't that unlikely actually. Not saying it is or it isn't but the 2012 hardcover used "corrupted, out-of-focus digital files, completely obscuring all of Richmond’s hand-painted work" according to Mazz

X-Men Apocalypse, i reached the point where the movie is officially off the rails. I was kinda liking it for a bit too.

That guy is a real hawk eye

I laughed my ass off aloud in the theater when that tagged part happened. Such a hilariously terrible scene.

In the comics? Depends. Drax used to be insanely overpowered, but he's gone down a lot. Ronan's a huge heavy hitter regardless and always has been. Really did him a disservice on the character front though

I've had my PS4 for two years and its always been pretty quiet. Sometimes you get a certain game that makes it sound like it's going to take off, but that's not the norm.

This terrible movie is making me want to read not terrible X-men comics. Marvel, don't give me a Soule/Lemire/Bendis/whoever future.

Xpocalypse feels like another Hunger Games movie. But worse. It's just a jumble of x-men things.

Finished, such a weird movie.

Charles: Erik, don't destroy the world, you still have me.
Erik: Fuck you Charles

Mystique: Erik, don't destroy the world, you still have me and Charles.
Erik: Yeah okay.

It seemed like they were going for when he got nerfed. When he's still strong, but doesn't really get jacked until he's near Thanos. We'll probably see him get super jacked during Infinity War or whenever he gets the chance to go up against Thanos. As is, he's just sort of strong. Same with Gamora.

Thinking about picking up the Ms. Marvel omnibus. About time I read that series.

And fuck movie Mystique. Boring ass character with a boring performance that gets shoved to the front because Jennifer Lawrence.

She is such an insult to the comics it isn't even funny

I can't have Warlock without Doug.

Worst thing I can imagine. But at least Bobby will be there, right? At the very least we can get battle armor Warlock and Bobby. It won't be the same, but it'll have to.

I don't understand what they're thinking. How can we have vampire baby momma Jubilee if she doesn't do anything in the first place?
