Mage gear looks kind of nifty IMO.

Except the hats. **** the hats.

Just finished Superman/Batman Apocalypse . Amazing stuff including the Final fight with Darkseid.

Crap 15 minutes are up. Well looking foreword to this.

I keep reading from people that they wanked Supergirl too much in that Apocalypse movie.

Oh and it sucks that Black Adam feature is only 22 minutes long.

She was wanked too much. lasted longer against Superman against Darkseid. and too a full on blast OB and came back while Superman was KOed by it while eventually came back.

ghey.

like Pr, I choose to blame the woman that directed it.

Does she still get b****-slapped by Clark like she does in the comics?

This should not be a short.
Black Adam, Captain Marvel, and Superman in the same movie? Should be a feature-length movie IMO.

Would have been epic if it were a three-way, instead of a two-on-one as the cover suggests.

Hmm, my statement could be seen as a kinky one.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!

Warning: There will be cursing. Don't approve it? Then don't watch it.

YouTube video

THAT IS ALL!

Oh no, a company that is out to make money is...doing things to make money. How horrid! Such a thing has never been done before!

The funny thing is that just about every complaint made in that video is either 1) dead wrong or 2) can be leveled at Sony and Nintendo as well.

Edit: Nemesis, that can be said about all the consoles ever made. Sony and Nintendo might just do it worser than Mircosoft.

Oh no, a business is making money, that's horrible!

Incidentally, with phones, you pay for the service, and then a monthly bulk fee for your minutes. It does, in fact, work that way.

"Live may be better, but I still shouldn't have to pay for it." They forgot to include a reason why not.

Avatar complaint is moot, as if the ability is all you care about, Avatars come equipped with plenty of options free, if you care about the specific virtual clothes, then either you're willing to pay for the content, or you aren't. If you aren't, they don't force you to. Plus, Avatar items are starting to be common unlockables for game achievements. His complaint includes not liking the clothes, so he's complaining about not having something he doesn't want, which is nonsensical.

Same goes for premium themes, since you're not forced to purchase them.

800 MS points are $10, not $1. Points can also be purchased through Live, not just in 1600 or 4000 point cards, in increments starting from 400 ($5). The point-cost conversion is not terribly difficult (1 MS point is worth 0.8 US cent), and all three consoles end up potentially leaving you with excess points after a purchase (I have unused Wii points as well).

Red ringing is an archaic complaint. And the "it's a ploy to make more money" conspiracy theory is ridiculous, as Microsoft pays for the shipping, plus any repairs or replacements to your console. The warranty itself only makes the company money if nothing goes wrong with your console, as it generally the norm. Anyone who thinks it works the other way is an idiot.

All console companies do new consoles, and it's actually a nice gesture to allow you to put your old, defunct system up against the cost of the new one.

Silvers don't wait a week so much as Golds get demos early. They don't have to make demos available at all, so the free accounts are getting a treat, and the paying accounts are getting the treat first because they payed money and deserve getting, well, what they payed for. That's how good business works.

There is not one good point in that video. It's all just plain wrong or butthurt, entitled whining.

it's actually a nice gesture to allow you to put your old, defunct system up against the cost of the new one.

And that has nothing to do with the company making the consoles, anyway.

I'm only pissed at Microsoft because the price of their downloads are stupid. Go to the Left 4 Dead 2 thread if you want the whole story.

They're comparably priced to downloads on the other consoles.

People aren't entitled to anything for free. Stop being so spoiled.

Was pretty sure the price of just about any download is stupid.

Honestly, I don't mind paying money for extra content, on the rare occasion I do so. Sure, I don't pay for XBL, but that's because I don't play online. I've bought a theme or two, and an avatar pack (as in, your actual icon that appears on your friend list).

The amount of extra money I've spent on Guild Wars borders a bit on silly - I've bought a second account with all campaigns and the expansion, a makeover pack, three extra character slots, an extra storage pane, both costume packs, PvP skill unlock packs, CEs for two of the games...yeah, microtransactions add up, as does the extra account and the CEs. But those things cost money to make, so why should they not charge for it? Personally, I don't mind paying to support something that I greatly enjoy at all.

Before the Left 4 Dead DLCs were released:

Valve - To show our appreciation to you fans out there, we're gonna make all the DLC for Left 4 Dead free.

Microsoft - *whispers in Valve's ear*

Valve - ...On second thought, we're gonna price them instead. Only PC users can have the downloads for free even though we don't have an explanation for that.

The whole story in the L4D2 thread is you whining about making a pretty obvious mistake and trying to blame it on, alternatively, Valve and Microsoft. I don't see how the point amount contributes to that at all.

Seriously, Smasandian said everything that needed to be said.

The explanation there is that 360 and Live have investors that require specific types of content to be priced instead of given away for free. The only exceptions are pre-order and launch-day pack-in deals.

Super Meat Boy's developers actually just came up with a workaround for this that other developers are considering employing.
