I can never talk like this on purpose. I have to get worked up. And if someone starts the conversation like that, I don't think much on the conversation at all, I just reply with a few words.

It's pretty simple, honestly. Basic beginner level move is to just tag "motherfucker" onto the end of whatever your preferred greeting is. "Hey, motherfucker!" or "What's up, motherfucker!" That sort of thing.
Matt Fraction's Hawkeye is like that, and by design.

A large part of Planetary reads like that, though there are hooks into the overall story.
A few days ago my buddy was walking to his house and I drove by and rolled the window down and said "HEY! FUCK YOU, PAL!" And he put his middle fingers up in the air and said "F U A-HOLE!" And then he text me "lol what's up?"

Quiet is my companion of choice right now.

She sucks at spotting.

Yes. Probably my only complaint about her, but I think I just started taking DD for granted. With him, enemy and prisoner locations just pop constantly. XD
Cool, I'll check that out.
Are those all in the Planetary Omnibus? I had that on my wish list to buy but I don't actually know anything about the series. It just looked cool and is cheap for an omnibus.

The Paz thing was bizarre.

Yep. The omnibus contains everything. You don't really need to know anything going in. A rudimentary knowledge of superheros in general will add a lot to the series though.
Awesome. I'm excited to get it, hopefully sometime fairly soon.
I haven't gotten her yet. I only have a horse in riot gear.

Eh the game is too long already without me not knowing how to slip in and out unnoticed
Besides, the same can be said about Quiet. Send her to kill and she'll clean house.

Noooooo. I thought I would have a honest-to-goodness pull list to post about this week. Turns out Overture #6 got pushed to Sep 30th...

RE: Quiet, I also hate how she isn't quiet lol
I imagine him giggling like a little kid when he came up with that lol

Yeah, I can see that. The reasoning behind Quiet's costume, too.
If I have one complaint about MGS V, it's that you spend so much time doing Side Ops that it feels like the main story thread gets lost in the shuffle.
Basically the same problem that all other open world games have.

I got a real complaint, fast travel is balls.
In MGS or games in general? Fast Travel is a gift that all open world games need. I have a job and I like getting shit done fast.

In MGS5, it's balls.

Why?
LaunchpadMcQ

Because it's not "fast". You basically have one of two options - wait for a helicopter evac, which at the early stages takes at least 1 minute to arrive and is only at set destinations (then you hit a loading screen, then you're in the helicopter, then you have to choose a destination) OR go to one of the delivery points, which are very few in number and rarely where you need them to be.
Brian Fellows

Yep that sounds like it would qualify as balls.

This. It would have been fine if you could opt to get a ride from A to B without loading screens in between. Especially when the two drop points are on the same map.
I love DD but Quiet is the best buddy and my go to choice for missions. I wouldn't have been able to survive a lot of missions without her. Her costume is crap but she's a really interesting character.
My complaint about the game is the whole structure itself. The open world does nothing and the missions aspect was better served on a handheld.

you do, of course, realize that when you're in the open world, you can get back to the chopper at any time from the pause menu, right? I wanna say it's right under "reload checkpoint"

I didn't notice it, but it wouldn't get rid of the extra loading screens and menus. It also doesn't help that the drop points are in weird places and you have to do the whole landing sequence for the chopper every time.
Huh, interesting. And thanks!

Most of the Silver Age comics. Pretty much any Stan Lee book, since that's how he believed comics should be.

it's basura. traveling around this map makes an otherwise fun as hell game feel like a chore.
I have several questions and/or statements:
1) Why does Messi have a mini-me version in here?
2) Seriously, posting boobs? C'mon.
3) The Gaiman Miracleman remaster looks great.
4) ComicGAF is nowhere near FigureGAF. And if something were to happen, the correct response would be to stay cool. In most of the Community thread closures, the response from the community to a relatively minor incident is what lead to the closure -- not the incident itself.
5) Mockingbird was pretty sweet.

I felt the Red Widow story in back was way cooler than the actual Mockingbird story.
oh yeah they're really doing the books justice, and that first issue was aces, dang. I can see exactly why it's something special.
Freezasaurus

I wouldn't go that far. It was.... interesting in its own way, but really just felt like a marketing tool to push that new Black Widow novel.

And I will buy that graphic novel now. So it did it's job.
It's just that for a story about a sick badass agent, I would have liked something that wasn't some wonky dream sequence. I think that's what it was. Unless I'm dumb.

Gaimans work on miracleman was so awesome. I loved it more than even Alan moors work. Which was damn good.

Not graphic novel. Novel. Words words words.

I might perhaps maybe buy that book

Honestly it's been awhile since I read a novel, but my friend did buy this for me:
Though it's technically an "illustrated" novel, so I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I'll read it.

That cover is badass.
Illustrated novels are novels that have a number of illustrations here and there throughout the book. Not a ton, but enough to help you picture certain things in your mind while reading.
