Hm, tough call but I think I'll go with George. Elaine's annoying, Kramer's overrated, and Jerry's...well, Jerry. None of them are likeable (which is intentional), but George was the closest I felt to relatable for me.[DOUBLEPOST=1360462681][/DOUBLEPOST]

Whats a good Superman story in your opinion?

Oh god, that's like asking me to pick a favourite child! Here's some of my personal favourites and short reasons why:

1) Death, Funeral, & Return of Superman - This is what got me back into comics. The writing, specifically the dialogue, can be dated at times, but the story overall is a whole lot of fun.

2) All Star Superman - While this is probably my all time favourite, it's hard to recommend this to new readers. It has so much of Superman's mythos embedded in it that I think a new reader might be lost. But by god, I love it because of the way it plays with all the best toys in the Superman toybox. And does it in such an amazing, jaw-dropping, perfectly characterized way.

3) Secret Identity - This is, hands down, not only my favourite Superman story of all time, but it still remains my favourite comic of all time. It's funny that, given that it's an Elseworld (alternate reality), it's not even our Superman, and yet still perfectly captures the very essence of everything that I love about Superman.

4) Action Comics #750 - "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice, and the American Way?" was also adapted into the animated movie, Superman vs. The Elite and I love it. It takes the idea of "why don't the violent superheroes just replace doofuses like Superman?" and shows why, exactly, superheroes like - or even especially like - Superman, still have a place in this world.

5) Kingdom Come - Honestly, this plays with a lot of the same themes as Superman vs. The Elite, but does it on a much larger scale, using just about every possible character imaginable in the DC Universe. While it has a large cast, Superman is still at the forefront and rightfully so.

6) Birthright - One of the best modern retellings of Superman, done back in the early 2000s. I love so many ideas behind it, like that he's a vegetarian because he can see auras (played very painfully at one point) or that the "S" represents all of Krypton because it makes more sense for the Last Son of Krypton than just the Last Son of the House of El. I especially love the scene where he catches a bullet from a guns salesman and says, "There. Now you'll forever know how it felt for that ten year old..."

Whew, how's that?[DOUBLEPOST=1360462823][/DOUBLEPOST]

Are there any video games (or a series of games) that you can't stand, despite popular opinion saying it is a fantastic game?

Call of Duty and Halo, because I think they're overrated purely for their multiplayer aspect, when honestly, they're only ho-hum FPS games in terms of their actual main storyline. Honestly, I think it bother me that there's a deluge of mostly-the-same triple A games get the majority of the spotlight when there are a lot of really great, imaginative, and unique not-so-Triple-A games out there.[DOUBLEPOST=1360463064][/DOUBLEPOST]

De nada. If you wind up picking any of those because of my recommendation, do please let me know. I'd love to hear what you think, even if you disagree!
