I mentioned K-Mart had a good deal on L.A. Noire so they're getting my money. The deal got better. - Tim May 12, 20:08 2
- Alternately, see which one has the best trade credit at Amazon. -- nm - David May 12, 20:09 1
  - This is something frequently mentioned on the Cheapass Gamer forums as K-Mart's deals are still a really good secret. -- nm - Tim May 12, 20:11
This episode of chuck might as well be Hot Fuzz 2. Love it. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) May 12, 20:03 1
- I *knew* they would use that line. Spoils. - Beryllium (iPhone) May 12, 20:05
I can't figure out a good place to reply below, but before the movies I don't know if I could name any of the X-Men, let alone a villain. - prayformojo May 12, 20:02 9
- quiz: "Which universe does Spider-man belong to?" me: "The comic book universe." -- nm - Max May 12, 20:11 1
  - Spidey is kind of odd. He's Marvel, but he seems the least connected to the overall Marvel universe of any of the Marvel superheros. -- nm - Ender May 12, 20:12
- Magneto and Wolverine are both characters I think casual observers could have named before then. - David May 12, 20:03
- Ditto -- nm - Dano May 12, 20:03
- (and I know this isn't really David's point pertaining to the Wonder Woman project. Just sayin) -- nm - prayformojo May 12, 20:03 4
  - This is something Kim and I were discussing a while back. - David May 12, 20:08 3
    - Can't they just steal one from Greek mythology or something? -- nm - Roger More May 12, 20:12 1
      - It looks like they have a few of those. -- (link) - David May 12, 20:14
    - Wha'd I do?! -- nm - Grendel si May 12, 20:09

"Adult Late Night XXX Trivia" Oh laws! -- nm - iNubby 4 May 12, 19:34 8
- there's Adult Daytime XXX? Susan Lucci, you two timing tramp. -- nm - Max May 12, 19:48 3
  - I imagine adult daytime XXX is a lot like the day shift at the strip club, nothing but stretch marks and divorcees. -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:50 2
    - IIRC, you'd get MILFs who's kids were in school -- nm - zeitgeist May 12, 20:11
    - you're having a good week. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:51

PS3 Network Outage Causes Resale Prices to Decline -- (link) - Qale May 12, 19:32 11
- I have to admit I thought this only affected purchases. I hadn't realized you cannot play *anybody* online right now. - David May 12, 19:43 9
  - I've been kind of lucky that the FF13 forum on GameFaqs has sprung to life as it's one of the big titles that is offline completely and it seems many - Qale May 12, 19:48 7
    - Do you have to do the patch before you can play the game? -- nm - David May 12, 19:50 6
      - It doesn't appear so. I'd think it'd eventually kind of important perhaps though? -- nm - Qale May 12, 19:53 5
        
        I don't know, but I asked because I frequently cannot start 360 games without doing an update. - David May 12, 19:59 4
        
        I presume there is a seperate class of games that "phone home" DRM style that still could be called a patch loader. - Qale May 12, 20:04 1
        
        I think there are 2-3 games that do require the PSN for the DRM and are thus unplayable now. -- nm - Ender May 12, 20:07
        
        You couldn't play online, that's for sure. If you're offline (I imagine there are still xboxes that have never been connected to the internet), you're - Tim May 12, 20:02
        
        I would expect that if it couldn't connect to the patch server it would assume there was no new patch. - Ender May 12, 20:01
  - DC Comics must be PISSED with the launch of DCU Online recently. and charging $15 a month to play it -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:47

correction from earlier....NBC has passed on Wonder Woman..... -- (link) - Remlik May 12, 19:13 59
- It's been a rough couple of days for comics on television. -- nm - David May 12, 19:19 7
  - what else? -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:48 6
    - Locke & Key was considered a slam dunk two months ago. Then, the numbers crunchers got involved. -- nm - David May 12, 19:49 5
      - And of course Human Target. -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:51 3
        
        Ooh, good point. -- nm - David May 12, 19:53
        
        If only they'd sent Ilsa Poochie back to her home planet. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:52 1
        
        I think their real problem was not rastafying her 10%. -- nm - Ender May 12, 20:02
      - oh yeah I forgot. Hopefully the pilot leaks I'd like to see it -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:51
- guess they saw the outfit. -- nm - loosilu May 12, 19:17 48
  - the outfit they shot in looked goood -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:37
  - It's freaking Wonder Woman. That was about the least ridiculous outfit you could possibly expect. -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:18 46
    - Can anyone name a Wonder Woman bad guy? - David May 12, 19:20 44
      - I don't think I can name a villain for Green Hornet, Green Lantern, Thor, Captain America, Hellboy... -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:33 28
        
        Captain America is the red skull. that's all I go -- nm - Bacon May 12, 19:43
        
        wow. you must have had a crappy childhood :( -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 19:43
        
        Independent of comics, you should be able to name one for Thor. -- nm - David May 12, 19:35 24
        
        I had never heard of Iron Man outside of the song before the movie and couldn't name a Spider Man villain either. -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:52 19
        
        I think most people would come up with Green Goblin for Spider-Man. -- nm - David May 12, 19:54 7
        
        I could come up with Green Goblin soley because I watched the Spiderman animated cartoon. - ralph wiggum May 12, 19:56
        
        I always think of the Rhino, because even as a kid he struck as lame. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:55 5
        
        I'm not familiar with him, but I also think I get the idea just from the name. - David May 12, 19:56 4
        
        He's basically The Juggernaut with a horn. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:57 3
        
        I strongly suspect the early days of comic books required a lot of trips to the zoo. -- nm - David May 12, 20:02 2
        
        one trick comic artists do is to draw regular plants really huge, and you have an alien world/landscape -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 20:07 1
        
        I love it when you mention this sort of thing. It is fascinating to me. -- nm - David May 12, 20:08
        
        Really? Didn't they run the cartoon on any channels you had? -- nm - Reagen May 12, 19:53 10
        
        I guess I knew the Justice League but that's about it. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Wonder Twins. -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:56 9
        
        Other than Lex Luthor and The Joker, do you remember any enemies for the Justice League? -- nm - David May 12, 19:57 8
        
        I knew a bunch for Batman from the Adam West show. I think I only knew Luthor for Superman. -- nm - Dano May 12, 19:59 6
        
        So, you know as little about comic book villains as Pete does about Green Lantern opening weekends. -- nm - David May 12, 20:00 5
        
        keep mocking, watch xmen do thor numbers -- nm - Remlik on the nook May 12, 20:10 3
        
        X-Men is a disappointment if it only does Thor numbers. - David May 12, 20:12
        
        actually that sounds about right. -- nm - Reagen May 12, 20:10 1
        
        i think xmen does 50 plus actually, -- nm - Remlik on the nook May 12, 20:12
        
        Which is why comic book movies don't generally land on my anticipated list. -- nm - Dano May 12, 20:02
        
        Mixlpliktzk! -- nm - Roger More May 12, 19:58
        
        Also, was Green Hornet a comic book to start? -- nm - David May 12, 19:44 1
        
        Answering my own question, it was a radio show first back in the 30s. -- nm - David May 12, 19:45
        
        BBJ! nm - ralph wiggum May 12, 19:37 1

        Wait, are you trying to prove his point or dispute it? -- nm - Ender May 12, 19:34
      - So that's what the problem was with the Flash? - JD May 12, 19:25 3
        
        The only reason I know a Flash villain is because of my cats. - Ender May 12, 19:38 1
        
        Mirror Master isn't a very good name for a cat. -- nm - David May 12, 19:40
        
        When Kim went through her comics phase a couple of years ago, the cadre of villains who hate Flash ganged up and killed him. - David May 12, 19:28
      - Cheetah -- nm - peglegpete May 12, 19:23 2
        
        You and Pete don't count. Beaker doesn't either since he's the geekiest non-pro here. -- nm - David May 12, 19:24 1

        The original comic was S&M. The dude who wrote it lived with two women, one of whom was a self-described lesbian sex slave. - David May 12, 19:23 4
        
        didn't he also creat the Lie Detector or something? -- nm - Remlik May 12, 19:38 1
        
        Yes although his son indicated later that it was his mother who really did all the early work. -- nm - David May 12, 19:40
        
        Tell me more -- nm - Bacon May 12, 19:27

From B2: not2fast I've found that while Google desktop can take quite a long time to do the initial index, the day to day performance is well worth it - JD May 12, 19:09 1
- I will have to check that out. -- nm - not2fast May 12, 19:10

- This calls for an '80s style montage, resulting in a tougher, meaner Joe Biden. -- nm - Mop May 12, 19:10

- are these the mushrooms with crack in them or something? -- nm - lord tubbington May 12, 19:00 1
  - you'd think so with how much they are coveted by people who like mushrooms ... the thing is- they aren't cultivated - only grow wild - and to buy them - JenBro May 12, 19:08
