For me, it's one I don't mind missing at all: Dave Matthews Band. I liked them well enough with their debut album (the only one I bought for myself), and we went to a bunch of shows over the years at her behest. That said, I grew to hate their audience and lost patience with their live shows. Now, listening to them

I prefer watching TV on TV. With people. I'm old fashioned that way.

I suppose it's not too surprising, given she's the one character they can't do anything with in current continuity. Scott at least gets his space adventures with Corsair. And silver age Hank, Bobby, and Warren were all pretty forgettable.

Well, that sounds unfortunate…

Dawww.
I think Upvote You, Upvote Me was the original title for that Genesis song, but nobody knew what it meant back then.

I just always considered DKR to pretty much be the end of Bruce Wayne-as-Batman. It did (perhaps unfortunately) leave the door open for the sequel and other, later stories (doesn't Batman Beyond basically follow?), but I like to ignore those and just say, "THIS is where the story ends." To me, it's what Miller was

I actually did read Earth X (thanks MCU!), and really enjoyed it. It prompted me to start Universe X, but I just couldn't get through it. I don't remember what my specific problems were, but it might have been characters too obscure for me to know, and art that never seemed clear as to what was happening. I gave up

Very true. When Watchmen is constantly hailed as the best comic book (or one of them), I'm fully aware that this is largely due to it HAVING an end, right from the beginning. Ditto with The Dark Knight Returns.

Interesting. I've only really been following the X-books on MCU, and hadn't realized how continuity-centric other lines have been. The whole "past X-Men brought to the present" storyline has seemed really stupid to me, but I can't say that the characterizations haven't been creative and enjoyable regardless. If

Johnny Cash already kinda did that.

This is the one with the "weeping grey", right? Something about how humans are all descendants from the lost Martian population? Man, this movie sucked.

Yeah, had they even had any kind of recognizable characters, it might have at least seemed worth slogging through. Instead, it barely looked any better than Atari graphics.

It certainly wasn't a bad game in the least, but Ninja Gaiden was the first game I was really aware of the soundtrack, especially once I learned the code to access every track (and sound effect).

Yeah, I just posted my thoughts on the X-Men game above. As I said, considering what an X-Men fanboy I was, they achieved the impressive feat of making it so bad I just returned it. I was SO disappointed that my favorite comics got made into such a bad game.

I don't know if I played it or not, but it couldn't have been worse than the original X-Men game released on the NES. As a total X-Men fanboy at the time, they achieved the near-impossible task of making the game so bad that I simply took it back and got a refund—something you could still do at the time, before

Until I saw it recently at a sci-fi movie marathon, Krull was just that movie that was featured in comic book ads of the time. I may have been just a tad too young to otherwise be aware of it.

Oh yeah. Oops!

Looking forward to these being on MCU in a few months…

I think Red Dead Redemption should get a nod here, too. The scope lent itself to moments where you could honest-to-god enjoy a sunset….IN A VIDEO GAME. I also enjoyed the gradual climate changes as you trekked across the country, ranging from hot Southern deserts to cool, snowy mountains in the north.

It's interesting you cite Bioshock 2 as the best game regarding combat. I think I'd actually agree with you, though I couldn't say exactly why when I was playing it (other than the lock-picking games). I'm also not a big FPS guy, so I can't compare them too much to other games. 1 and 3 are rightly praised for their
