    [Comics] DC's new 52 (Comics; Nick, help!)

    Actually, he's from Baltimore but went to school at the University of Michigan. Cyborg (in the DCnU) is from Detroit, Vibe is from Detroit, Gypsy might be from Michigan (her origin has her be a suburbanite who ran away from home on a one-way to Detroit...she could be a Grand Rapidian, an Ohioan...

    [TV] My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    You do seem awfully cynical when discussing the management of television shows and such. No a criticism, just an observation. See, I kind of liked that the villain in this case was more of a presence felt than an actual character. Made him a bit more imposing - the biggest obstacles facing the...

    [TV] My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    I give my rebuttal in three points: 1) Transformers: Kiss Players was made Takara (the Japanese owner of Transformers), not Hasbro (the American owner of Transformers and MLP). Separate companies. 2) Kiss Players was a subset of the Transformers franchise geared specifically at adults. It was no...

    True, but what's up there that's worth protecting? Michigan Tech and Oswald's Bear Ranch?

    [TV] My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

    Not in the least, because that's not what the show's target market wants. Its pink pony toys, dude. Hasbro knows who butters their bread on that.

    [Comics] DC's new 52 (Comics; Nick, help!)

    The (technically non-canon) Atlas of the DC Universe from 1990 said that Gotham City is located in New Jersey. So depending on the writer, you have the entire Bat-Family.

    My literal home town, Livonia (a Detroit suburb), was the place the entity of Hope roosted after Blackest Night. The artwork was amusingly divorced for reality (imagine suburban sprawl, just miles of subdivisions with businesses along the major roads...that's us - we're literally in zoning...

    That's Oliver. They've aged him down quite a bit. He's like the age of his pre-reboot son now. Incidentally, February will see him lose his fortune and company. Perhaps a return to the character's strengths is on the way. Also, this: Well....I'm going to read it. Since they're not giving...

    Well that's disappointingly plain. Fifty two variant covers...really just one cover Photoshopped a lot.

    [Movies] The Wolverine

    I'm going full nerd here: Since his charged up sword can cut through almost everything but adamantium, and adamantium can cut through almost anything save for (depending on the writer) other adamantium, then in theory Silver Samurai would be unstoppable with an adamtium blade. This assumes that...

    [Question] iPod Touch question

    Not running iOS 6, actually. Well, I only downloaded one episode. So both. And I'm trying to do it within iTunes, because I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it on the iPod itself.

    [Question] iPod Touch question

    I've done that. It is unchecked, I have it set to only sync episodes of selected podcasts, its not listed as a podcast on the device...but it is still saved on the device. And when I sync it, it copies back in to my library.

    I'm thinking your blanket dismissal of 77 distinct ongoings or minis, some of which haven't even come out yet, as "balls" might be coming from a place more of emotion than reason.

    [Question] iPod Touch question

    Downloaded a podcast directly onto my ipod. Decided I didn't want it anymore, so I deleted it from my iTunes library. Next time I plugged my iPod in, it just copied it over again. Changed the podcast settings on my ipod so only podcasts I select will be on there. While it no longer shows up when...

    Justice League Dark is an awesome series and the sex is well in their past at this point. John kind of accidentally got Zatara killed in the DCnU. That puts a slight damper on any relationship.

    [Comics] DC's new 52 (Comics; Nick, help!)

    A goodly chunk of this Justice League consists of anti-heroes: Katanna: Currently works with the covert-based Bird of Prey. Has diced up foes with her sword so that her husband, whose soul lives within it, can interrogate them. Catwoman: We all know she's a thief who frequently does the right...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    99% -ish of Americans 18-49 don't watch Honey Boo Boo (though admittedly that number drops when you just look at women...to 97%-ish not watching). I've shown you the numbers several times now, damn it. But that aside, I do see the connection and the lack of transparency is annoying. However, I...

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    Uh, I'm thinking there's an issue with your math there. Obama, Kerry, Bush II, Gore, Clinton, Dole, Bush I, and Dukkakis (which is to say, every candidate but Reagan from 1988-2004) released at least five years worth. Only Reagan and Carter released fewer than Romney and McCain. On the other...

And whats even funnier is that you know there's gonna be at least a hundred guys who buy every single variant cover...

    [Comics] DC's new 52 (Comics; Nick, help!)

    There will be fifty-two variant covers for Justice League of America #1. Which is the stupidest gorram thing I've heard in a while. On the other hand, both Katanna and Vibe will be getting solo books. Which is both pretty cool (I personally love to see more obscure characters get a chance at a...
