  1. I recall the big revamp Mark Waid, Grant Morrison, Mark Millar and Tom Peyer were set to do, but then were basically told "Fuck off, you'll never write Superman" by some executive who felt left out of the loop.

     

    So yeah, I'll check it out.

  2. I think it's laughable the way so many people have been up in arms over the "conspiracy" in the Da Vinci Code. Hello people, it's called FICTION for a reason, you know!

     

    Yeah, but it is fiction based upon a conspiracy theory that has some historical evidence to support it. But conspiracy or not there are many other reasons to hold the Christian church in contempt.

     

    Everywhere I go I see people reading this book too. There's a lot of evidence for the stuff happening in the book. I think the main reason people like this book is because of all of that information. I found that the characters were pretty two dimensional - The fast pace of the book didn't leave much room to develop them. I was kind of let down by the ending (not the epilogue). I think it would have been much easier to leave that bit out entirely.

     

    For anyone who is interested, Dan Brown draws upon three main books in the Da Vinci Code:

     

    The Templar Revelation, by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince

     

    Holy Blood, Holy Grail, by Michael Baigent, Henry Lincoln and Richard Leigh

     

    The Woman with the Alabaster Jar, by Margaret Starbird

     

    You might also want to check out Cracking the Da Vinci Code by Simon Cox.

     

    And its Angels and Demons, Christian.

  3. David Goyer Takes on The Flash

     

    I've always thought they could do a cool Flash movie. I get the impression Variety probably did shit research, and it won't actually be Jay Garrick. Unless they use that name and the Wally West or Barry Allen origin story. I think Goyer wants to cast his new boy-toy Van Wilder for this.

     

    Not that I'm complaining though.

  4. Paul was the best, because you could reverse almost any attack, causing some damage in the process.

     

    Backwards, square and triangle, I think...

     

    I'll think you'll find that he is the only person who could reverse attacks who can't reverse Yoshimitsu's sword.

     

    Jin could reverse too. :happy:

     

    EDIT: Until they took away most of his good moves in Tekken 4. :glare:

  5. tekken 5 looks simply fantastic I gotta say. I'll definitely check it out. However, Tekken 4 was finishable in a night (which I proved) which was kinda silly!

     

    I always more enjoyed Tekken as a multi-player game. Schooling my friends at every turn. I say this completely without ego.

  6. It wasn't even that people were really mean to me, it was just the feeling of completely not belonging there. It didn't help that on the school roll everyone was marked with what generation of Gore High School attendee they were (2nd, 3rd, 4th even 5th generation) and I was one of the few 1st generation studends.

     

    Gore Highschool eh?

     

    Tell me Claire. Did or do you know a guy called Jeff Laird?
