Jonathan Hickman's Nightly News is a worthy read. He does some great design work with pages, inserting charts and graphs, and large chunks of text, yet still maintaining the flow of the story.

Punisher MAX is awesome. It's everything Punisher should be.Finncognito said:
I've read up to, and including, Mother Russia.
I own all the Sandman graphic novels, and I don't hate them. I guess deep inside I'm just a bitter goth girl.
I don't hate ELO. They were my first ever rock concert. I have A New World Record on my iPod.
And my favorite comics of all time are: Reid Fleming: World's Toughest Milkman, Flaming Carrot, and American Splendor. (With Eightball, Hate, and Usagi Yojimbo right behind.)

Another Youtube obese monster of filth.
I present, Fatman, showing off his dirty undies.

Totally not safe for work.
Here's his channel, in where you can witness him eat a block of cheese, and dance around naked.

Man... What little faith I had left in humanity, has finally been extinguished.

The only ELO song i know is Mr Blue Sky, which sounds pretty much like Belle & Sebastian, and that can't be bad.

I have never read a comic in my life, but I always keep meaning to get into it. I loved the discussion, it definitely game me some ideas on where to start.
Jeff, what did you think of the American Splendor movie? As a film I loved it, but not being familiar with the comic I suppose my view of the movie was limited.

Hey New Frontier is fantastic, you guys need to give it a chance. I'm not as much of a comics geek as some of you GFW guys but I really enjoyed that book.
Recently got into Ex Machina, too, really cool so far.

My opinion on comics mentioned... maybe someone will care!
For me, preacher isn't that great and Sandman isn't that bad. They're both good. Sandman is more dated and has some crummy parts. Preacher felt too long and went overboard at times. Both are worth reading.
I don't get anything out of Chris Ware's work aside from an appreciation of his attention to detail and creativity in layout. It doesn't make for good storytelling to me, and the stories that he tells don't particularly interest me anyway. I'm going to give him another shot though, and try to approach it from more of a formalist perspective.
I'm not that into Dan Clowes, but I like Harvey Pekar.
Maus is pretty good but I personally got more out of some of the Joe Sacco stuff.
New Frontier is good but if you've never liked superheroes I don't think you'd really care. The art's gorgeous.
Walking Dead I dropped after the third or fourth volume but I mean to pick it back up eventually. It started to drag and feel too repetitive and manipulative of the reader without that much actual interesting story progression. Also Kirkman has some writing quirks that really bug me after awhile that come up in Invincible as well (which I get quite a bit of enjoyment from despite the similar problems). My major peeve with the guy is the way he'll have characters in dialog explain their feelings and motivations to each other all at once in a completely unnatural way. I love his plotting though and he has some neat ideas. It's good popcorn reading for me.
I've really enjoyed reading Fables, but it hasn't been mentioned as far as I can remember. Any fans/critics here?
Damn, I seem to have a lot of pent up comics opinion. Maybe I should join a comics forum again... any good ones these days?

How can this man be proud of being fat? I don't get it. Being fat has a negative social stigma for a reason.
Fatman's gonna get the beetis, if he doesn't have it already

Yo Ho's we needs some allies for COH me and PillowKnight gots a game called banana ridas
I would, but I've never played online...any room for a noob that'll be wiped out near instantly I'm sure?
Edit: Ah, you switched it to 2v2. I need to lose my fear and just jump in online. Last thing I want though is some team member bitching me out because I'm new and made some mistake.

Edit: Tried to join the 2v2 game you had going to test my connection, but couldn't connect to PillowKnight, not sure if the problem is on my end or his.

I'm looking. Game isn't showing up. I can't figure out where the add friends button is...wow that makes me sound like a fool. My name is Tendo on there as well.
Edit: Nevermind, at least until May when I move out. Just like with TF2 and COD4 on PC, my university treats CoH like a P2P program and disconnects my port after its been connected for so long. Such a nice feature, turn my port off for 2 minutes to disrupt P2P programs. To bad it doesnt even stop p2p programs. I hate this place.

Company of Heroes uses the following ports to connect to the lobby, host games and accept connections:
UDP 6112
UDP 30260
hope that helps

I'll open those when I get my new place, but for now I'm stuck dormside with no access to the control panel. It's complete bullshit. My internet runs slow as hell anyway because the kid next door hosts all kinds of anime torrents sucking bandwidth for the whole building. I'm just ranting and being pissed now. Well I added you and pillow, I'll look you up in a few weeks.

Just listened to most of this week's show [I'm behind, I know; don't ask], and it occurred to me why I like the show so much: GFW Radio has a much longer attention span than most podcasts. Shawn went into a lot of detail about the gameplay problems of Turning Point, a game not many core gamers care about or expect much from, and it turned into a good discussion about the state of FPSes. 1Up Yours would have turned it into "there are a lot of glitches and the gameplay isn't compelling. It doesn't compare to Call of Duty 4." There's value in taking the time to work through the conversation and not always pushing to the next AAA game's talking points.
Enough gushing. You guys suck because you spoiled The Wire. Until next week, this has been The Captain.

so I went ahead and bought RE4 Wii because of the podcast, even though I played the thing to death on GC and even once on PS2 to get some of the extra Ada stuff, but whatever. New controls make it totally worth it, poppin headshots is so much easier now. And the game? hasn't aged one bit. God I love it still. I wasn't planning on playing long tonight, but I ended up almost ending the first chapter.
