New Avengers 50

onefinemess | February 27, 2009

I liked it. Even with the lure-you-in-to-nothing cover.  Hey – it’s a 50th issue, it needs a grand cover even if that’s not what happens.  There was some gratuitous ass kicking though, so that should fill you if that’s your thing. Taking it to the badguys via the media is an interesting approach, we’ll see [...]

City of I14/Architect info up on Massively

onefinemess | February 26, 2009

Link. I think this is a first for this kind of MMO? An awesome first. You can get XP!   That was the magic variable for me…I’m so going to level exclusively on player content – no more fucktarded maps with too few/scattered enemies (caves!).  No more fucktarded giant room maps in kill all/chase the widget [...]

the (official) WoW forums are a step up from 4chan

onefinemess | February 26, 2009

It’s a good sized step, but it’s still only a step. I can’t imagine how many posts they modsmack per day, per minute even. SO MANY TOOLS. So yeah, patch 3.1.0 is up on the test realms (coincidentally at the same time that CoH issue 14 is in closed beta), and wow, the toolish fury [...]

things I’ve listened to lately

onefinemess | February 26, 2009

WTF is up with the new Common album? I tried to listen to it again, skipped the first three songs, then went to something else entirely different. The beats really annoy me, and the songs seem especially trivial.  There are some good rhymes in there but..ugg.  “Sex 4 Suga”.  Really?  Is he becoming more like [...]

X-Force 12

onefinemess | February 25, 2009

The wolf prince thing is really out of left field.   I can’t see where they’re going with it other than to kill him and fuck up Rahne’s life even further.  I’ll be surprised if anything other than one or both of their deaths happens.  Because that’s what Kyle & Yost do to X-characters… The book [...]

Wolverine Origins 33 – Are they really going to “kill” Wolverine?

onefinemess | February 25, 2009

Huh?  I’ll get to that in a minute.  First: What’s better than Wolverine?  Wolverine with Admantium (TM) claws! What’s better than that? A younger, hipper, more violent/troubled/sexy Wolverine with claws made of the metal of the most powerful/magical sword in the Marvel Universe (sort of, not counting the Soulsword and whatever any other random author [...]

Heroes – Cold Wars

onefinemess | February 25, 2009

OK, I get that Peter is intentionally written to be stupid. I finally get that.  For a while, I thought the writers might be more crafty than this, or just sloppy – but now I’m just forced to conclude that he is written stupid.  Being impulsive once in a while is ok, we all do [...]

FYI: Starbucks does have an 8oz size

onefinemess | February 25, 2009

It’s called a “short”. It’s just not on the menu.  And if you order a small, which will get you 8oz most other places, you get a 12oz “tall”.  Yes, I know “tall” & “small” rhyme, but “tall” doesn’t really convey much smallness does it? Well. Now you know, and knowing is a measurable portion [...]

what…the…fu

onefinemess | February 25, 2009

ck? Discuss. PS. The Japanese are WEIRD.

being dead shouldn’t guarantee you an award

onefinemess | February 24, 2009

Other than a Darwin Award of course. Nothing personal against Heath Ledger, he’s a great actor and all, but his Joker portrayal was in no way Oscar worthy.  Not that “Oscar worthy” directly correlates to quality, but I’m going to pretend it does for a few minutes even though it’s doubtful it means anything when [...]
