LIR: emote. The NES example is one that I have room for. I don't have reservations about - kilboooo Oct 29, 09:07 9
- If it came down to having a choice between downloading Far Cry 2 for the PC for free, or buying it for the 360, I would buy it for the 360. - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:09 8
  - that's absurd. the pc map editor for far cry 2 is way more robust + the game looks fantastic in pc screenshots my friends have posted.... - x Oct 29, 09:12 6
    - PC gaming, for me, is a complete waste of money. My PC runs fine, even though the video card is ancient in PC gaming terms. - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:18 5
      - stating simply that i's a waste of money for you is a lot different statementthan that you'll "mock any pc user who... - x Oct 29, 09:28 1
        
        Is it? Is it really? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:39
      - *pats his $35 video card* You don't have to spend $500 to get good game performance - kilboooo Oct 29, 09:20 2
        
        and how does it handle Crysis and Far Cry 2? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:25 1
        
        Based on the reviews I read before buying it will handle Crysis just fine. I don't have it so I can't say but that was the selling point for me - kilboooo Oct 29, 09:26
  - I'm even lower down the gaming totem - I have an ibook, which pretty much makes this all academic. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 09:10
Would people be interested in an election pool with the caveat that I wouldn't be able to tally it until two weeks after the election? -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 09:06 6
- [deleted]
- Maybe. Though I think the pool should take priority over whatever silly extracurricular activities you have planned instead. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 09:16 1
  - I might be being optimistic assuming that two weeks is enough to know the results even. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 09:21
- one hundred percent. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 09:10
- SURE!!!! -- nm - irrational Republican nutjob Oct 29, 09:07 1

        Thanks! *runs head first into the wall* -- nm - Gus Oct 29, 09:22
        
        158.3 is the max, iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 29, 09:22 2

considering the evolution of batman from inception to now, what do we think are batman's core values? - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 09:02 59
- DC Comics has a weekly series called Trinity. Bats, Supes and WW. It started out strong and crashed hard but it was interesting to see how the three - Spawn Oct 29, 09:21 2
  - I think it's stayed pretty strong myself. Unlike countdown. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 09:23 1
    - It had been the first thing I read each week, but the last issue I could not even finish. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:24
- lonely; moody; dangerous -- nm - Callisto Oct 29, 09:11 11
  - god, I have *such* a crush on him. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 09:13
  - in other words, someone that women want -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:13 9
    - Used to want, but not anymore. Although I'd gold-dig him. -- nm - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 09:16 5
      - so it's Bruce you want. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 09:23 4
        
        I'm just tired of being sorta poor. I really do want Superman. I already have an obsessive freak who won't leave the computer and unleases vengeance - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 09:26 2

        She married Bruce (without the money). -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:25
    - totally. -- nm - Callisto Oct 29, 09:14 2
      - seriously. hubba hubba. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 09:15 1
        
        "I always said, if I had to fuck a guy... I mean had to, if my life depended on it... I'd fuck Batman." - Spawn Oct 29, 09:17
- Driven -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:09 1
  - he is, isn't he? he's committed. -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 09:12
- Noblesse oblige and secular humanism. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 09:09 3
  - The idea of him being a dark "knight" isn't accidental, I don't think -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 09:12 2
    - I'm impressed with emoti, and bummed with myself for not saying noblesse oblige -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:18 1
      - *blushes* I think about Batman probably more than a grown man should. Yours are equally important. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 09:21
- protect the innocent. bring the guilty to justice. and to make sure what happened to him never happens again. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 09:09
- It's not a "value", but I aways think of him as being totally nuts. Mental illness is part of his brand i.d. to me. -- nm - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 09:08 8
  - These are some of the most interesting stories when dealt with properly. Likewise the Venom story, where he became a Drug Addict for Justice. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 09:12
  - *love* you -- nm - Frank Miller Oct 29, 09:11
  - his 'obession' for justice will and has pushed him over the edge. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 09:11 5
    - You'd know this better than I but isn't the point that he doesn't go over the edge? - Mel Profit Oct 29, 09:14
    - The edge of what we may call sane, but actually into a higher realm of thinking. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:12 3
      - He will *never* be happy. Superman has a shot at being happy. Chrisxie and I are optimists, see? -- nm - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 09:14 1
        
        Happiness is overrated. -- nm - ::gruff voice:: Oct 29, 09:18
      - for the most part. Sometimes he does go off the reservation. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 09:13
- The best of what a man can be if he puts himself into it full force. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 29, 09:08 9
  - do we think batman is a more inspirational superhero than is superman because his power is *attainable*? -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 09:10 8
    - yes. He has to work for it. Superman can do anything and he's boring in the process. -- nm - Callisto Oct 29, 09:14
    - Absolutely. Superman is a god, with all its arrogance and sense of entitlement. Batman is a striver. -- nm - emoticreature Oct 29, 09:14
    - that is what initially attracted me to the character as a kid -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:13
    - in the way that Batman is human and if we were as driven we could be Batman. Superman serves to inspire... - Remlik Oct 29, 09:12 4
      - Exactly. Superman's greatest strength is his image, where Batman's is what he accomplishes. - Spawn Oct 29, 09:14 3
        
        At the end of the day, Superman can poop diamonds. -- nm - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 09:17 2
        
        but they'd only be industrial quality, so he'd have to sell them to .....Wayne Enterprises -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:20 1
        
        which would then use them in experiments to create synthetic Kryptonite...so he'd have a back up when Supes goes Rogue. -- nm - Remlik Oct 29, 09:24
- responsibility to better your own society - TFox Oct 29, 09:06 1
  - Yeah, he's like Mr Rogers in a cape. Totally. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:07
- SOCIALISM!!! -- nm - irrational Republican nutjob Oct 29, 09:06
- revenge was my answer! Also, I think he stands out because he doesn't kill people. -- nm - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 09:04 6
  - I wonder if maybe "Vengeance" works better than "Revenge" in this instance -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 09:06 1
    - "I am vengence, I am the night, I am Batman!" -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:13
  - wha?! - pigby Oct 29, 09:05 3
    - Right and wrong. -- nm - Spawn Oct 29, 09:15
    - if you use Frank Miller as canon, you have to acknowledge that Supes cheated on Lois Lane -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:11
    - Traditionally. -- nm - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 09:06
- He's a maverick. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 09:04
- justice over legality -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:03 6
  - fascism - pigby Oct 29, 09:05 1
    - no, the adherence to laws rather than what is morally right is what makes Supes a fascist -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:06
  - also, the triumph of intellect over brawn -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:04 3
    - this is nice. (I wonder if I can credit ticker talk in my deck.) -- nm - frankenstein loves mandy lane Oct 29, 09:07
    - now i know what the McCain supporters feel like here -- nm - pigby Oct 29, 09:06 1
      - McCain over Obama makes more sense than Superman over Batman -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 09:07

I love the variety in some of the national polls right now. Pew has Obama +16. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 08:53 3
- Meanwhile Mark Steyn at the Corner might literally be going insane. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 08:57
- weird. Drudge only has the +2 Gallup in his headline. maybe he missed that one -- nm - pigby Oct 29, 08:55 1
  - He should work for FOX News. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 08:57
Hrmm, Derek Jeter's apparently moved onto Minka Kelly. - Will Hunting Oct 29, 08:52 1
- Can't disagree. They should really make a room in Cooperstown just dedicated to the caliber of his tail once he's inducted. -- nm - TFox Oct 29, 08:53
