  1. haha you have, if youve bought all 4 map packs youve already paid for the game a second time... or rather a second game of it... I like COD but not that much haha. It's the peer pressure! My brothers stay on the zombie packs for their 360's, so when I go over there we play the zombies and I suck cause I'm like "now where do I go" or "where is the juggernog?"
  2. Damn now I gotta throw my two cents in! Superman is THE super hero, infact Superhero probably comes from Superman, and I'm basing this fact on nothing. He's got the heat vision, ice breath, flight, speed, invunerability, pretty much all the basic powers you'd want. However besides magic Superman is incredibly vunerable someplace else, his heart. This could be his potential down fall. While it's true, Marvel did throw the first hit and Thor rocked Supermans well cut chin with his hammer in a sucker punch scenario, I believe Superman did end up knocking out Thor in that series so I may have to give it to Superman in that case. However when you add in the Odinforce and you remember, he is a god afterall, it could be argued that it is a stale mate. Now Hulk vs Superman is a different story. Yes, in the Marvel DC crossover from the 90's Superman did win, but the Hulk was at a very serious disadvantage, being he was "smart Hulk" and because of this, he had to control his anger, or he would revert back to puny Banner form with the mind of the Hulk. However just regular Hulk on a regular day COULD be Superman. Yes, the Hulk can withstand a trip through the sun just as his skin can within stand the vacuum of space and he can hold his breathe for an entitre battle (when fighting Namor) As the old saying goes, the madder he gets, the stronger he gets. I have to dissagree about a person only being able to get so angry. Anger and hate, like love, knows no limits. Some of the worst atrocities to ever befall mankind have been at the hands of angry or hate filled men. Honestly though, Hulk ALWAYS just wants to be left alone, I'm pretty sure his grave will read "Leave Hulk alone". If Superman just flew away and said "screw this", then I guess it could technically count as a cowards win. Hulk can be just as strong as the man of steel., infact stronger since, like I said, angry and hate are endless. Besides, if Banner (not in Hulk form) some how knew he'd be going toe to toe with Superman, I have a feeling it would be in a controlled, area with red heat lamps all around to take away Superman's powers. It's kind of like what they talked about in the movie Angus, Superman is a wimp. If you know nothing can hurt or harm you, and you never face any real danger, then how can you be brave? Banner knows fear and danger all too well, well enough to give him the edge in a made-up character on paper vs another made-up character on paper fight. Hulk wins! Oh and the arguement about Spiderman beating Hulk and he's just a plain mortal, to that I say Batman has trumped Superman in the past, Batman, the plain mortal without even spider powers to assist.
  3. Still rockin' the Black Ops... just enjoyed the 24/7 Nuketown Double XP weekend... so nice! Honestly I'll stay on this game till Batman comes out, with all the expansions I just feel like Ive invested too much!
  4. I'd give them an A for sure. I really feel that the SDCC Lion-O, despite it's price point, really is a home run and one of my favorites in my collection. So far I have gotten all of the cats in 4" (except Panthro) and I have the Tank too, it's all really great and fun stuff. I am not a 4", 3 3/4" collector, but I am really digging these! This line really could have been an epic fail, but as it is, I have a hard time finding it in stores and they have already been out for a few months. I am happy with the success the line appears to be having and I hope for more.
  5. I'll say it again, I'm still liking what I am seeing. This costume is no worse then... (Singer) X-Men, (Rami) Spiderman, (any) Batman
  6. All the figures I have seen in store have all looked good except for one 8" Lion-O I saw, the eyes were pretty off, probably why it's the only Lion-O I have seen at TRU.
  7. Picked up a Thundetank over the weekend. It's pretty sweet, though I think I already ran mine outta batteries from being left on. Still can't find a 4" Panthro, but the search continues!
  8. On COD now if anyone wants to play PS3
  9. Got pulled over for running a red light and speeding. Cop let me go with a warning, Im just glad he didnt noticed I dont have a motorcycle endorsement on my license

  10. OK Im back at the night job. Lately its been a struggle to keep my eyes open, something that doesn't normally happen. Guess Im getting old
  11. I feel the same way. I've never gotten any figures in this size before, but when I saw these I knew I would be getting them, so I've finally broken down the 3 3/4" wall and it's been great. Can't wait for em!
  12. Lol, sorry man, I couldn't resist! I am fine with the costume, but like I said before, I am not the biggest Superman fan either, but still a fan. Maybe if I had more love for the character, I'd hate the sour loads in my mouth too Agreed, I've got faith in my man Snyder! He better not make me out to be a punk and take a deuce with this movie. I love his work, didn't see sucker punch so I can't speak for that, but I loved Dawn of the Dead, 300, and Watchmen, can't wait to see what he does with Superman! I didn't say I didn't like the movie, actually I haven't seen it yet, just wasn't as excited. It's Ryan Renoylds that I don't care for, he was only picked for the movie because he's a bankable star... well kinda bankable
  13. The way I see it, he's already up there. One for his crappy magician movie, and one for Inception. Just need July to secure the feet... Man-o-man was inception over-rated! I saw it, it was cool enough to see visually, but there was a point where it's like "common now, lets wrap this up" South Park, as usual, put it best: "I'm going in!"
  14. Lol, yup! Guess I am just now seeing the light on it. To be fair, MOTUC was my first real experience with Mattel. I kinda liked it better before when companies just put out toys and they got bought... it's a little complicated now. (although I will admit the pay off of having a company listen has been worth it)
  15. It's tough to say, but if it was just Mum-Ra and Lion-O, Id be fine with it, but since we have Tygra, we need the rest of the cats before Mum-Ra, or else it will just feel unfinished I am hoping they will redo Tygra if the line becomes successful... That would be nice, unfortunately we've got a long way to go before we can declare any kind of success. I love the figures, seems like most do and it's hard to find in store. I'd say we are headed in the right direction.
  16. Yeah, what kind of crap is that? I passed on reading a lot of books in my day. I just knew they'd be crappy. If those books had a picture of Superman on the cover in an unfortunate, ill-conceived and over-thought design with muddy drab coloring, then you probably made a smart choice. You don't really have to eat dog poop before you can safely allow yourself to confidently state that you don't like the taste of dog poop, do you? Oh I must have missed the new pics of pink Superman with bunny ears... wait that ISN'T the case? Well atleast this movie is giving off actual odors... oh wait it's NOT doing that either? Common now, we are not talking about such extreme's. What's wrong with waiting to see more before making call? If you already know in your head it will suck, that is great! You've got sight beyond sight! If you aren't sure of something right off the bat though, you wait till you have more information before forming an opinion. I'm not a follower and I'm not going to jump on the "I hate Snyder, Superman will suck" band wagon, that's not my bag. A well formed opinion is a good thing, be it an opinion you agree with or not. Is there a chance that Man of Steel will be horrible? You bet! Is there a chance that Man of Steel will be great? You bet! It is ignorant to form opinions based solely on the opinions of others. I'm excited for this movie, moreso then I was for Green Lantern (and I like GL as a character moreso then Superman). I DON'T think the costume looks bad at all. And yes, the color pallet of the main character DOES matter to what the director is visually trying to achieve. Muted colors! Muted! Colors! I am interested to see how it plays out against the usually sunny backdrop of Metropolis. It's no secret that they are trying to setup this to be a franchise similar to Batman. There are many people with their fingers in the pie, but the film looks to be headed in the dark and brooding direction. Is this the best choice for a character who embodies good and warmth? Eh, maybe not, but you can't hear two notes of a song and decide if it's good or not, and you can't see two brush strokes on a painting and say that it sucks. Film is art, plain and simple. Ask any artist how they feel about showing incomplete work, most will tell you how much they hate it because of judgement calls based on something that isn't complete.
  17. I wanted to buy a third so I could do that and leave the third one MISB but I held myself back. Some people have deeper pockets than others. My pockets run deep, there's just nothing in them That is something Gob would say HAHAHAHAHA AFD 4 Life Would it surprise you if I said my ringtone is "The Final Countdown"? Chicken? You're the chicken!
  18. Just keep pickin! Let the rest of us who can buy the sub buy the sub. Like I said don't take it personal. If cherry picking is the the best option for you, who gives a $#!& what Mattel wants you to do. They'll take your money no matter what. If I choose to Cherry Pick, and I will one of these days, I'm not gonna care if they want me to buy a sub. I want the figures and could care less if Mattel makes money. I'm in for the figures, not to make Mattel all warm and fuzzy. It's not a matter of being able to purchase the sub, it's a matter of not wanting to and not being pressured to. I've got a GB sub, because I know I will want all the GB figures, but that isn't true for MOTUC, and frankly that's perfectly fine, I just dont want to be bullied and threatened into buying a sub because prices might go up. It's a little insulting to insinuate that a price hike could be in order to help push the sub service. When MOTUC started, there was a more humble attitude of "hey guys, we are just glad to be able to make these and give you the opportunity to purchase it" now it just kinda seems like there is a pressure to buy ALL of them, and I don't want to. Trust me, I don't take it personally at all. When I go home and I'm off these boards, Mattel rarely crosses my mind. There is too much good stuff in life to be brought down by the bad stuff!
  19. Ray is sweet, havent seen any BTTF minimates though, I would like a Marty and Doc. I assume they can be found at TRU? I dont think you can find Doc... I only seen the DeLorean set at TOYSRUS... Hmmm, really its one of those buys that I will only get if I see it in store... I'll keep an eye out though!
  20. nah just my go to gun on Modern Warfare 2 I haven't found any Goldeneye onesI could actually use for a signature Damn, I thought the txt looked like Goldeneye and maybe it was from the new one released on wii. Anyone else stoked that Goldeneye is being re-re-released for PS3 and 360? I for one will be sure to pick it up this holiday season!
  21. I never had a chance to watch JLU but I always thought it looked interesting. I have seen an episode here or there, but not enough to make a judement call. I wish netflix would go ahead and release BTAS and JLU on streaming...
  22. I love this thread, I really do. Im down with this new suit, I don't mind that things had to be changed, like stated earlier, noncomic fans find his outfit to be a little silly. Batman looks cool no matter what era (maybe not so much Adam West era) but Superman... eh. I know I'll get blasted for that, but I am so fine with muted colors and no underwear. Infact, did anyone even bat en eye when Batman stopped wearing his? As long as the spirit of the character is captured and you can look at the screen and say "hey it's Superman" then I am happy. I don't need my X-Men, Batman, Thor, or Captain America to have 100% comic accurate costumes, why should I hold such a high standard for Superman? If anything, I am cutting Superman extra slack since I feel like there is a lot of negativity going into it from fans. I'll admit I am not the biggest Superman fan, but I was a kid that had the pajamas and yes, I did wear my own underoos on the outside, so I am a fan from a young age. I want to see an awesome Superman movie as much as anyone else, so I am still going to reserve final judgement till I see the actual film or atleast some footage and not still shots taken out of context.
  23. I dunno man, Mask of the Phatasm was just as good as either Batman movie, if not a little better then Batman Begins
  24. Hey spystreak, is your tag line pic from Goldeneye? If so, bravo sir!
  25. Is there anything that can be said about Batman The Animated Series that has not been said? That is THE Batman cartoon and Kevin Conroy IS Batman (with Mark Hammil being the definitive Joker) Everything about the show was great! Visually it was incredibly enticing, with a good mix of modern advances while still keeping that 1930's feel that Gotham should have. The opening credit sequence to the show set the mood perfectly, not one word is spoken, nothing but an incredible score and fast paced action. I cannot think of any other Batman, or DC cartoon for that matter, that could hold a candle to this show. Best. Batman. Ever.
