(I got so caught up in complaining about the grimpderpy crapsackness of EVE Online and Warhammer 40,000 that I forgot to mention how this latest EVE war story reminded me of another, far better known [and in fact classic] story where a whole bunch of people patiently work for a long time at putting together an

To kind of echo another respondent in this thread: I love reading all these EVE Online war stories — but I would never play EVE Online if my life depended on it, largely because of those same war stories. The game just sounds too damn brutal. And looking at it from inside the story itself, why are EVE Online and

Has Andrew Groen gotten up to the Battle of B-5RB (otherwise known as the Titanomachy)? The last I read of him was when he covered how the Goonswarm brought down BoB.

You do realize that these days, trying to jack the Batmobile consitutes attempted suicide?

But seriously, folks … Every so often Batman gives an innocent civilian, one whose ass he just saved from Gotham’s lowlifes, a ride in the Batmobile. Criminals he won’t give the time of day, let alone a ride in his car; they only get his knuckle sandwiches.

Bad idea! If you let Trump brag about his nonexistent wall … he will insist on SHOWING IT OFF. TO EVERYONE.

There’s this one bit from the “raptors in the kitchen” scene in Jurassic Park: the raptors are in the room, looking for the kids as the latter sneak breathlessly about trying not to get eaten; then one of the raptors brings its foot down, and for whatever reason its middle claw comes to life on its own, beating out a

Sorry it took so long for this to occur to me — but what exactly is “The Stars and Stripes Forever”? Is it the one that goes (sing along with me) Da-DA-da-DA-da-DA -DA-da? ‘Cuz that’s the tune that comes to my mind when you mention “The Stars and Stripes Forever.”

I really wonder what you young whippersnappers would make of all the designs Matt Jefferies went through before he finally settled on the iconic design of the Starship Enterprise. (And then when he showed the finished model to Gene Roddenberry, he hung it upside down.)

Don’t forget that when you hit a 20 in Strength you also need to roll %tile dice

I find myself wondering: what was more horrifying for the Red Skull -- being trapped in that fallout shelter with no food and just enough air and water to go crazy on … or finding out that a Jew, one of the hated untermensch the Skull and his fellow Ratzis tried to hard to exterminate, was a godlike superman?

So many people make this mistake: the name of the guy most of us now associate with Superman is Christopher REEVE, it’s the guy who played Supes in the 1950s TV show who was named George REEVES. (Still an understandable mistake -- note how close their names are.)

Very much agreeing with this -- especially as it neatly explains/dovetails with why so many people like Thor: Ragnarok of all the Thor movies the MCU has come out with so far, because Ragnarok embraced the batshit cosmic craziness of His Kirbyness Jack I and ran with it.

Bear in mind that for Captain America, the American Dream has nothing to do with bling or keeping up with the Joneses*. It has everything to do with freedom from fear, freedom from want, freedom of belief and freedom of speech. Y’know — uncool stuff like that.

And the Shield! Don’t forget the Mighty Shield!

The grenade scene. Where all the big macho men ducked for cover, and the only two people to even think of saving everyone else were Peggy and the shrimp.

And let’s not forget the movie that Bogie did after “All Through the Night.” Remember that one? No? Sure you do! You must remember this, / A kiss is still a kiss, / A sigh is just a sigh ...

Not Nick Fury, it was Phil Coulson who said that (inevitably -- he’s such a Captain America fanboy the Widow thought he’d swoon when SHIELD found Cap still alive in the ice). Also, I’d say he doesn’t even think of himself as an Avenger. To him, Steve Rogers is Steve Rogers.

Just thought of this and I just had to add it. Of course Captain America doesn’t hate anybody. Given the way he grew up as Brooklyn’s favorite doormat, he had plenty of chances to find someone to hate … and if he had it might’ve gotten him killed -- or made him a killer. Either way, he’d no longer be worthy of Doc

Oh, yeah, that was it. My bad. And, yeah -- very important distinction. Captain America doesn’t hate anybody … maybe not even Thanos?
