I only read the Dwayne Mcduffie run which was uh very 90s.

Quote

Professor Michael Collins was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was an African American pacifist and family man working for the Roxxon Oil cybernetics corporation Cybertek, whose brain was transplanted against his will into a robotic killing machine by agents of Harlan Ryker. The machine was used against rebels fighting against Roxxon's influence in the fictional South American country of Estrella.

Although his brain was intended to serve only as a medium for the robot's programming, he was able to assert his will over it (installing a "no-killing parameter" into its programming).[21] The computer is fully willing to listen to Collins, though he must take care to present his orders in a way that helps fulfill the mission and keep people from dying. The computer is fully capable of understanding distinct concepts, such as bluffing, as when Collins is forced to pretend to take a hostage.

He met Jesus Badalamente, and helped the rebels as soon as he could, though of course they did not initially trust him. Roxxon utilized giant robot ants against Collins and his allies, though the robot's scanners were able to find weaknesses. The rebels soon came to trust Collins. The leader even tries to save Collins with his own dropped gun, though he learns it does not work for anyone but Collins. Collins also battles Mainframe.[22]

To be honest, one of my biggest pet peeves with spiderman is the weaving in and out of the different spiderman universes. Like in Amazing Spiderman #252 you're fucking lost unless you decide to go buy a bunch of ultimate spiderman issues. And then stupid arcs from other universes affect good arcs in other universes. It's so annoying. That's my main problem with the maximum clonage and other shitty arcs, they infected everything Spiderman.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #3251 on:** November 09, 2011, 11:55:26 AM »

I stopped reading spider-man for a long time when at the end of maximum clonage they were all like 'you know that spider-man youve been following for years? not the real spider-man, scarlet spider is LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ' and im like FUCK YOU MARVEL.

I am actually getting into the new spider-man tho so whatever I guess. Start from scratch.

Bebpo · « **Reply #3252 on:** November 09, 2011, 01:30:49 PM »

The MGS HD Collection LE is really nice and collector-worthy. If you are a fan of the series and we're planning on getting it on the Xbox Machine anyway, I'd recommend picking it up while it's still in stock at most places.

I never read anything from Amazing Spiderman Volume 2 and I just started a few months ago. It's actually pretty good. The new ultimate spiderman is too

Does it support DPI changing on the spot?

yeah, but only between two settings. 100 to 1500.

logitech seems to be making their mice chunkier. both with the g700 and this it feels weird at first.

Geuze is a blend of young (1 year) and old (2-3 year) lambics. They've got a very tart/sour/musty/barnyard flavor to them. Definitely not for everyone.

I don't recall an ending, so maybe I finished with S2? Was there an S3? I thought S3 was supposed to become a couple of movies which never manifested.

I took some games to Best Buy and traded them towards Mario yesterday. They give pretty good prices and I got an additional $26 extra just for reserving Mario. That left me $50 in credit, so I picked up Skyrim as it's the only game I don't have coming from Amazon.

Mario is fucking awesome. First original 3DS game that's worth a damn. Skyrim is going to stay shelved for a while since Saint's Row is Tuesday.

Utage is tempting since we'll never see it here in North America.

Is it standalone or do you need Basara 3 for it? If it doesn't require a Japanese version of B3, I'll pick it up.

Bebpo · « **Reply #3284 on:** November 14, 2011, 04:36:45 PM »

99% sure it's standalone.

I'm going to get Basara 3 first and put some decent time into it before getting Utage sometime next year.

I have the NA version of Basara 3. Even with the English audio, it was still a blast.

just a tasting of what the wallet has seen this past month.

Not shown

2 for Xbox 360
1 for PS3
2 for PC

The rest of the skylanders including all of the store exclusive figures.

Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception along with Goodie bag from San Francisco event (ended up getting sent two extra copies as well as a uncharted double pack)

Just dance 3 for Xbox 360

Black Eyed Peas Experience for Xbox 360

Skyrim for PC

batman arkham city collectors edition. Bought it on release at opening and it had nothing but the figure and a two page manual in it. No game, or any of the additional goods that it was supposed to come with. WB sucks and so does Bestbuy's return policy. I got a nice figure for a $100 bucks though and a cool catwoman guide.

Thats just the stuff I can think of. Not including an awesome trip to Washington State.

cool breeze · « **Reply #3292 on:** November 16, 2011, 12:09:56 AM »

that's a saack 360 remote. did they come out with a new official one?

and I want that hardcover skyrim guide, but Amazon and Barnes online are all out. I might check if they have them in-store.

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #3293 on:** November 16, 2011, 12:22:19 AM »

yeah its a new official one its great and more accurate than the previous model. As for the skyrim guide if your having trouble finding it and don't mind paying shipping I might be able to help you out. I just returned a extra guide to my local bestbuy this morning. If they still have it I could pick it up for you.

chronovore · « **Reply #3296 on:** November 16, 2011, 06:36:20 AM »

Five years ago, I found one of these in a little record shop in Osaka for ¥1500. The packaging was pretty beat up, and I passed on it. I regretted it almost immediately, but when I went back, the store was gone. A year or so ago, this was going for US$70 through just about any Amazon z-shop I could find. Just now I managed to get it shipped through a US based z-shop for ¥1575 total, in "like new" condition.

Very stoked. I hope it is actually "like new," though I'll probably end up opening it at some point.
