@Bossun: No, it hasn't been clarified. They have not confirmed that all games (downloadable and retail) will be region-locked. In fact, they've done everything to avoid giving a clear answer: [kotaku.com]

@JRDad: The unique friend code could be like an XBL/PSN/Steam ID if Nintendo decide to use it as more than just a code for multiplayer.

Kiddy Carrus, huh? Could be worse: a lot of French kids I was in class with pronounced "focus" as "fuck-us", so...

Price and release date as expected, but surprisingly little about the games themselves: no definitive launch line-up, hardly any gameplay, nothing about the pricing or region-locking...

Woo-hoo! Per-game friend codes are dead!

@SecretMoblin: Oh, thank you! I didn't even know they were streaming it live.

@Darrisbob1: I don't see what's so funny. Sounds like a smart move to me.

@Darrisbob1: Crecente & Co. will most likely post the big news on the front page as they come. That's what usually happens with these liveblogs.

Another big question for me is the region-locking situation. I hope they'll clarify that.

Ha-ha, thanks Brian! xD

SIX HOURS?!

@Outrider: Yes, the She-Hulk crossover was during Secret Invasion. I don't remember much of that arc. Those issues are the only ones I didn't buy in trade. I just remember them as "those books with the most insultingly hideous art I have ever seen in a Marvel or DC comic."

@Derangel: "I think I'm most especially proud of you" ? Is that the line you mean? And if I remember correctly, she said that in her diamond form just before turning back to normal to experience the full brunt of the moment.

@mikeclark1982: Marvel comics certainly seem to skew younger these days.

@Derangel: It's a shame, really, because I keep seeing people complain about her on forums, saying they can't stand her, and I just want to yell, "But that's not Emma Frost!"

@Murphiroth: You're right, team books are an entirely different beast. Each characters brings new possibilities but also new restrictions to what writers can or cannot do.

@The Sentient Meat: I'm more a DC guy, too, but I've always loved the mutants. While I don't pay as much attention to the rest of Marvel, I doubt I'll ever completely abandon the X-books as long as I read comics.

@Red_Flag: I honestly don't know.

Uncanny hasn't been consistently good in a long time now (Legacy, X-Force and New Mutants are all much, much better). Quality has been incredibly inconsistent on all fronts - dialogue, plot and art. Too many ups and downs.

@SG-17: A PSN ID without a PS3 won't do you any good. You can't link the accounts without booting up the game.
