There were more than those two. Prinny did mention Humble Bundle does those, one of y'all gave me a Sega Collection from Steam. The NES Classic Mini is one and then we'll get another one this year with SNES Classic mini. In PS2 there was Street Fighter Anthology and then we get other shit like Super Mario All-Stars which I think was also released for the Wii, people like Naughty Dog offer packages with all 3 Uncharteds and so on. Everybody can't hop on that though. People like us are in the minority so they probably don't feel that the costs might not be justified. I think sometimes there might be licensing issues too.

I would invoke dark arts and summon cthulhu if it meant we got a Def Jam Dual pack for PS4 and Xbox One. But like you said, licensing issues.

The Need For Speed Collection

This was a long time ago though and PC only. I never purchased it because I already had 4 of those games.
It's also missing the the first game.

Decided to check out Occupy Avengers' Secret Empire Tie-In
Deadly Nightshade is Nighthawk now because Kyle got gunned down by HYDRA while he was off duty.

well we start way back in 1920s moving into the 30s with Louis Armstrong. One of the more prominent black faces in media. He was in the "talkies". He was on the radio, later on television. He is a very important start with seeing black faces instead of just hearing black voices.

edit: they made Hawk guy all Hipster twee and I hate him now. He used to be a cagey carnie with a bow and crazy arrows. But then he became this purple dawsons creek hero-hugbear.

Morning fam.
Spidey was actually great. Loved how not reading up on who would be in the film was such a great surprise and boon to me. Fun anecdote, dude behind complaining that Aunt May is too young and should at least be around 50....Marisa Tomei is 52 :D And not sorry to say whoever auntie it was that looked like her. Your auntie is beautiful. Marisa Tomei has just gotten more beautiful in my book.
But all that excellency in the movie. The diversity...who the fuck did they kill to make that happen? Seriously? Do we have an empty kindergarten somewhere now?
Man I need to re-watch the movie asap.
About suiting up though
where he has that cheap ass but kickass looking homemade suite and looks down in the puddle where his mask is. I can't remember from which comic that was and I'm ashamed. I kinda remember it but I just can't for the life of me remember where it was. fill me in if you can, please.

Great to hear that it made so much more money. Here's me hoping Sony learned from Feige.

Tell me about it. Only thing I regret is not turning in three of my 3ds games to make my final amount bigger so I could put it towards a switch, but I'm happy with what I got though.

Haven't even given Secret Empire a shot. Civil War II kinda killed it for me.
I just don't care when my characters have to follow suite and be forced into this arc that has nothing to do with them. smh

Call me Miles
finally kills Cap or that Comic cube girl restores whatever because we know it's coming.

In a odd twist watch it be Sony that demanded the diversity. But they expected a bunch of tanned Japanese people

Morning, actually considering going to it again. There's definitely something I've probably missed and I enjoy finding out for myself instead of watching breakdowns :)

Actually had that discussion as well. Those Sony emails really didn't paint Sony Pictures in a good light but at the same time they had a lot of movies with interesting diversity so I chucked it up to assholes that deserve a beating and better casting directors.

You looking to get laid or something else? When I cared I literally wrote that I wanted a few hours and nothing else. Seemed to work fine. Just be honest. Will be better for all parties.

Else just follow the Doboy vs Teddie ADD sketch 😁

I didn't know you're a wrassling fan.
Click to expand...

I like it from a distance same way I like sports anime rather than the sport itself. When it's put through a slightly exaggerated lens, I can really get into it. But I think the last time I legitimately sat down to watch a full match on like the USA Network or something was in middle school and that was around the same time I last played a wrestling game with a friend (Something on the GameCube more than likely). Couldn't name a single modern day wrassler though. Even casual Wrassle-GAF runs circles around me. Could see Fire Pro spurring me to pick up an interest in the sport again.

-----

To jump to a completely random topic however, were there any black gaffers who were fans of the Dragon Warrior Monster games? Me and my cousin used to play those in between Pokemon releases. Found out about this game called Siralim 2 which essentially seems like the modern equivalent on Steam & iOS. My issue with it though is how too often its creatures look like they belong in a commercial for 90's era Rad freaky toys you can use to creep out your sister. Gameplay makes up for a whole lot of that though.

Sometimes it's posturing. Sometimes people genuinely don't know how to keep some their personal business personal (Met many of this type more than "macho alphas" in my day to day shockingly). And generally people seem to like to talk about sex when they're pretty stifled on sharing sex talk IRL.

Smiles and Cries, I got the book today. It's beautiful. Gonna gift it to my niece. It's probably way beyond her but she loves flipping through my gaming artbooks so this will fit her anyway.

People need to know the details. From how many greys to the number of lashes.

I think it's mostly posturing imo. Why else would so many threads be nothing but random dude posters assuring each other that they all have big dicks
