That was just the Yancy Street Gang trying to get under your orange skin. Shake it off, Ben. Shake it off!

Amazons are not Greek. They fight wars against the Greeks.

It could be like an executive producer credit, where he doesn't actually do anything but still gets paid.

I'm enjoying Channel Zero. And that creepypasta about the spelunker was really good.

I thought they made Falcon into Captain America and Hawkeye a murdering asshole?

I'm interested in hearing about your dad's reaction to some of the Vietnam material. The whole "John Wayne visits the troops" story always puts me in mind of John Keegan's story of an actual visit to Vietnam that John Wayne took, and the soldiers' response to him.

The idea sounds interesting, but it seems like the creators take it too far. I have a hard time believing someone as compassionate, empathetic, and self-effacing as Diana Prince started out as a selfish little girl.

Yeah. Diana should be like Steve Rogers - just a fundamentally good person who just happens to have superpowers. Starting off as a bratty teenager may be more "realistic," but in my experience bratty teenagers don't grow up to be people like Wonder Woman.

I've been playing a lot of Lego Batman 3 lately, since I checked the downloads sitch and discovered a free patch that adds a bunch of characters, including Power Girl. Just thought you should know, if you didn't already.

The second one looks like a Phil Jimenez piece to me, who is far more talented but less revered than Jim Lee.

When Rucka first started on Wonder Woman many, many years ago I was initially excited, because for once he had a character where he wouldn't need to add the tough alcoholic lady supporting cast member, because two of the three markers were already ticked off by the main character. I was not disappointed.

Let Sub-Mariner be Sub-Mariner and Wonder Woman be Wonder Woman.

Do not trust to hope. It has forsaken this franchise.

The aesthetic is certainly from the 50s, and the tagline has always been "the future as imagined by the 50s," sort of dieselpunk as it were, but I don't know where or at what point the Fallout universe diverged from our own.

I enjoyed Dead Money a lot for its atmosphere as well. It started to grate on me before the end, though, and I was glad to leave that place behind. Great supporting characters, too, and it really felt cathartic to finally get to kill them.

At the risk of repeating myself…

That's just patently false. It's always fun being a bastard.

Yeah, but it's DC. Albeit an alternate reality DC (I don't recall the aircraft carrier in the Potomac when I lived there), but still with recognizable, fragged-out landmarks and super-mutants. It's a lot of fun!

The Narrator: "Ron Howard was in trouble."

I left off New Vegas in the middle of the Big MT expansion last summer. I should get back to that. It was delightfully bonkers and nihilistic, like all the best of Fallout.
