I prefer James Robinson’s explanation in The Golden Age (which I know is an Elseworlds, but really should be made canon), that a Nazi supervillain had the ability to negate their powers, and as a result the powered heroes had to protect the homefront for fear that a death would demoralize the war effort.

Yeah, I rebuilt a combat rifle and honestly it was my go-to unless I needed to shotgun my way through a bunch of ghouls or something. Just never got into using the Gauss Rifle, for some reason.

Some of the ideas (like the “repeater” puzzle and the panels hidden in the pile of office equipment) were good, although I’m iffy on the execution. The interface screw ones I just honestly found annoying, like they ran out of gas.

It’s not Destiny, which has some of the most finely tuned and fun gunplay I’ve had in a while, but it’s definitely BETTER. I ended the game basically a tank covered in sniper rifles and plunking a bullet in an enemy’s skull from 200 yards never got old.

Ugh, the mountain. Never have I seen a game go so utterly to hell in just one area. The sad thing is that the puzzles are fine and challenging as is, it didn’t need the cruft.

Myself, I’m surprised at how brutal Yarny’s deaths could be. Don’t jump into the boat propeller.

Unsurprisingly trade sales are increasingly taking prominence in the industry.

It recently dawned on me that thanks to family in Tennessee, I’ve been having how awesome this guy is pushed on me for more than two decades. So I’m rooting for a “one final season” ego tour where he tanks out and everybody remembers that.

I’m pretty OK with pornography nit breaking the fourth wall.

One of the brilliantly uncomfortable aspects about this book is that The Vision built this family, so to some degree they’re a reflection of what he thinks a traditional American family acts like. The fact that they’re NOT this family and these tropes don’t fit is one of the key plot drivers of the book.

King might be the best writer at the big two right now, between this, The Omega Men, and Sheriff of Babylon.

I was gonna say, it’s not like there’s a shortage of stuff to do in singleplayer...

I have to say, this looks incredibly unappealing.

God help the kid if he’s gay and a power bottom. “Riders of Rohan” will take on a whole new meaning.

I am beginning to see signs that most of the right actually hates Cruz more than they do Hillary, which I don’t quite believe, but still. Wow.

This is not a positive thing about Ted Cruz.

I think Cruz is going to drive record low GOP turnout. Especially once he gets on that debate stage and discovers there’s a difference between college debate and Presidential.

The funny thing about the Martin O’Malley Hour is that nobody would vote for him but he’d probably get great ratings.

Paul Cornell and Alan Davis had a good streak, I thought.

How the hell did they get the creative team of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino and cough up another freakin’ Wolvie book?! That’s what gets me. These guys made Green Arrow sing and Marvel gets a redo of Wolverine MAX out of them? What a waste.
