Wolverine12 are you reading Captain America? Now THAT is Remender's best book. Oldman Steve Rogers still kicks a ton of ass. I'm behind right now but I'm enjoying it so far. Haven't gotten to why Steve is old yet. Don't spoil it  |

I'm halfway through season one and it is a lot better than I gave it credit for. Mrs. Martian is still horribly intolerable though. |

Technically Crimson is right. Unless Miss Martian is married to someone than the correct title is Miss. |

Get ready to have your face melt off Technically Crimson is right. Unless Miss Martian is married to someone than the correct title is Miss. Man, I used to be a huge grammar Nazi. Then I realized if I'm not getting paid to write it the why bother? No one else is. Yeah, I know that only helps further the uneducated, but they don't care or notice correct grammar to begin with. Plus I just got my job back and am now drinking. Rumshpringa! |

Utopia 2 is incredible. You guys have GOT to check that series out. Each series is only six episodes long but each one feels like a movie. Here's the trailer for the first season. So how does this effect you anyway? He only made an observation. Well actually he made a few. Pragmatism rarely comes with an element of bias. He was only pointing something out. About a month ago I was going to post a picture of these weird, bright blue sea creatures that have recently been discovered. Hundreds of them were found on a Californian beach. They looked pretty cool so I was going to post a picture but the image wouldn't load. I was also going to post about the new completely transparent solar concentrators that can be used for things like window glass and phone screens. And today I was thinking of posting a picture of the Elephant Rock in Iceland. It doesn't "effect" me. It's just interesting. The real question is, how does it effect you when people post factual observations you don't like? Doctor Who is about to start. Little hesitant, but at the same time excited. I'm not a Doctor Who fan. But Peter Capaldi is an awesome actor. He is so awesome, I'm heavily considering checking out Doctor Who, even though I have never liked it. I'm really happy he got the role. He's such an evil C**T in The Thick of It. Lol. I'd like to remind you that PS3 games are coming out still, plus the pre-existing ones I have yet to play. At this point there aren't many PS4 titles. Also my PS3 somehow fixed itself. I said there were no good games coming out for PS3 anymore. Whereas PS4 has a large roster of important titles, and within the next two months, it's line up will be epochal. |

If I were to move to a different state, what exactly would I need to do to prepare for that? I mean, it's probably not the same as just moving to a different house. I just moved to Chicago at the beginning of this month and it was pretty easy. All you really need to do is change your mailing addresses on everything and redirect your mail for a couple of weeks, get new car insurance, and get a new license and license plates. I think that's about all I had to do. |

Lots to reply to. Yah I find it odd as well. Then again it is 2014 and we are safely into Phase 2 of the MCU. Maybe Marvel is just expecting a lot more new readers that believe this is a normal price for this period of time. I honestly find it difficult to wrap my head around the incentive to buy those single issues for such a high price. It somewhat perceivably seems as though Marvel wants it's fans to scale back on the amount of comics they buy (but I know that's not true). It's frustrating not knowing the logic behind their agenda. People need to eat as well as go out and enjoy themselves, but that's becoming increasingly difficult as our politicians try to pay off the ridiculously increasing debt of our nations. And they attempt to do this by continually charging us, using us to solve their problem, which is actually continually proven to actually keep us in debt rather than get us out of it. Inflation. It just doesn't work. This profit based system effects every aspect of our lives, and of course; those who actually have money are content with it's functions and are happy to keep going this way. I suppose Marvel are just desperate for more money. It's just business incentive. This world we live is literally nothing more than a college of corporations/businesses, unaware of the monetary system's world wide ramifications upon our resources and the people who need them. Now THAT was a ramble. (But hey, when discussing a subject, whether it's finance or anything else, it's wise to be as accurate and explanatory as possible). (I went deeper into the subject of finance, because I honestly don't fully understand Marvel's logic, or the logic of the fans who are ok with it. Maybe someone can explain that to me?) It's a great cause and every bit donated helps. You're right, it does. It helps a lot of people. And it's always lovely to see real everyday folk be a little more selfless. Yah I find it odd as well. Then again it is 2014 and we are safely into Phase 2 of the MCU. Maybe Marvel is just expecting a lot more new readers that believe this is a normal price for this period of time. Yeah, it's really healthy to learn from as many sources as possible. I've seen Fight Club. Brilliant film. It definitely ranks in my Top 20 favourite movies of all time. That reveal towards the end hits you like a tonne of bricks. Plus, it really makes you want to fight, win, lose and get beaten up just to feel something profound. Lol. It's empowering stuff. Did you know it came out the same year as The Matrix, and that despite how groundbreaking The Matrix was as an action movie, Fight Club best it in every nomination at the Academy's, which is a really unfortunate shame for The Matrix, but an interesting turn of events nonetheless. |

Wow I didn't know that. It's really surprising to me especially considering how groundbreaking the Matrix was. Actually if I think about it harder they both preach the same message. |

What message is that that you're thinking of? After thinking about it, they do both preach inner strength. Btw, may I recommend you watch Utopia? The first season is only six episodes long, it came out two years ago and the second season recently started on Channel 4. It's very mysterious. At first impressions, it might seem a little complicated because it's about a mystery thing, something called "Janus" which is something the government are working on but you don't know what it actually is and the story is partly based on finding that out, but it's actually very easy to follow. It's just that you'll be constantly asking yourself what's Janus, and the thing is, that's the point. It's completely fictional, but it's very, very good, and uses a lot of real life political aspects. And it all revolves around a comic book. Episode was great. Oh, and you bringing uo The Think of it, reminded me of this. xD Haha, I love it!  He's obviously very different in DW. |

What is the essence of a Utopia episode? 1. The essence of a Utopia episode isn't about the violence, but looking into the minds of violent people. It's an intimate look into various sociopathic behaviours. 2. The essence of a Utopia episode is moral ambiguity. Moral ambiguity has never been so ambiguous. Never like this. It's so deep. That's what she said. Wouldn't you rather play those games on PS4? I can't afford a PS4. Also all of those but two aren't for PS4. So no, I wouldn't. It doesn't matter so long as the story is good. And once again, there are many PS3 titles I have yet to play. Ok. I didn't realise you had that much time on your hands. Remember, Dragon Age: Inquisition and Batman: Arkham Origins will be released in six weeks (which I assume you're interested in), and The Last Guardian has been moved to PS4. If you've got the time and money, all power to you, I envy you. I definitely understand your need to play what you see as essential. The new Akiba's Trip looks very promising. I take back everything bad I said about Tony Daniel as a writer. Is that good writing? :/ (I'm not saying it's bad.) Thanks. Also have you seen Under the Dome? It's some show based on Stephen King's book. Is it any good? The book's very good. I haven't seen the TV series but Steven King meets Brian K. Vaughan, it's something that can't really go too wrong. Angie McAlister is a really lovely protagonist to read about. Hopefully the cast will be strong enough. The Director will need to be very intimate with his cast in how he directs them, how he helps them portray their characters correctly, but Brian K. Vaughan is usually very wise in choosing the co-creators he works with, so the series should be pretty decent. I was thinking the message of not letting society dictate your beliefs. Think out of the box, think in the box, hit the box, shout at the box, etc. I would like to quietly point out that all reasoning and rationale comes from external sources, because a human's brain can only rationalise with the information it's received. But you make a good point that we mustn't trust our cultural beliefs on blind faith and must question everything and feel confident about it too, so that we can personally acknowledge and know for sure. I like the scientific agenda. I believe one's agenda should be to try and discover as much as we possibly can. Even if you're slow to learn or are having difficulty, if you stay open to your continuing learning developing and don't fear the ignorance or arrogance of others, you'll feel happier and more enlightened when you really know. I certainly don't agree with the anarchistic messages and influences of Fight Club but I definitely found it all thoroughly entertaining. I suppose that's it's magic. It's a powerful, thought provoking film and the sense of empowerment and entitlement it gives you is very clever. It's all very well written and profound in it's approach. I may not agree with the more direct messages it provides, but I'm was in awe of how strong it all came across. It's genius. I have a sneaky feeling you're gona love it, Sage. I think you'll be attentively engaged. "Don't look in that mirror, it's absolutely furious." Ja. Verily. |
