  1. I know the idea of a registration has been done with powers before (Marvel's Mutant Registration Act that never gets passed, JSA having to unmask during the McCarthy era, etc) but I like this idea. I always hated how the Marvel U had this line between mutants and people who had superpowers when it some cases it was impossible to differentiate between the two, so making all people with powers register makes more sense. Also, after reading Ultimates #9, I'm much less worried about Millar doing this than I had been. He can write a crazy tale hitting so many plot points and setting up things great. McNiven is just an awesome artist and one of the few people that can bring the epic scope of Millar's writing into a visual form. After the Bendis invasion of the 616 for over a year, it'll be great to see someone else take the reigns for the big summer event. Here's the thing though. Not many Marvel heroes even have secret IDs. The X-Men are all known, the Fantastic Four is well known, the Avengers are known save for Spider-Man and maybe Sentry but practically everyone in Marvel has a government file with all their info on it. Captain America would seem to be the obvious choice to lead those loyal to the government. But maybe it's too obvious a choice. He has been pretty vocal lately about not likeing how things have been going, and how SHIELD has been corrupted. And when the shit hits the fan Brother eye will release the Omacs .... oh woops wrong universe

    Xbox 360

    I have to ask but other then beefed up graphics whats so next-gen about the 360. Truth be told I feel the 360 was rushed out to beat the PS3 and the Nintendo revolution.
  3. Done. MGS4 ALL HAIL THE NEXT-GEN MGS GAME Can't wait to grandpa snake take out a punk ass.
  4. HELL YEAH I'M FOR IT!!!! I'll drive us there if you want. I'm already saving up money for this thing. WHOOO HOOOOO!!!!!! Road trip.
  5. It take's place a year after Advent childern. On a side note Kojima said the MGS4 trailer is the minimun bar for the visuals in the game and that he's confidient that the finished game will look even better. Even if it's not real time it's still impressive Killzone 2
  6. I somehow pulled that one off. I beat Emerald by dumb luck. I forgot to take cait sith out of my party when the fight started. I was going to reset but I said what the hell and went for it. I had his limit break at full and used it. I somehow got Instant victory on my first shot. It was the one and only time I ever got the Instant victory limit break. Ruby on the other hand took a while to beat but damn what a great feeling. 272. When you believe that you can jump into the t.v. or computer screen while playing the game to be a part of the game 273. When you actually try to do this 274. When you actually try to do this more than once and end up getting a huge bruse on your head 275. When you already own a copy of FFIV for the PS1 but you still went out and got a copy for the Gameboy cause it's FF. (Yeah, i'm guilty of this one) 276. When you know all the lyrics to the opera house scene
  7. Dude it's metal gear. What more do you want. MGS4 Only watch this if you beaten Xenosaga 2. Xenosaga 3 I just hope the gameplay is good. Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII
  8. Aside from his wolverin run Mark Millar has always done a good job writing a good story and with art from Steve McNiven. Marvel comic have always had a bit of a dark side to it. Now things are going to get worst if you live in the Marvel U. But it still feels like it's been crowbarred in. The Marvel stories up to this point haven't needed there to be a secret club running things, and it definitely wasn't hinted at, whereas D.C's Crisis had been on the cards at least since Identity Crisis, and definitely since Luthor, all hopped up on drugs, said there'd be one. Marvel's lagging behind on 'THE MEGA-EVENT' stuff, and my worry is that this Civil-Crisis-War-Saga is going to trample on some of the good series that've come out of House of M,but far from the point. Hell, most of the pre-Civil War press seems to be pointing at House of M, Planet Hulk, Secret War and Enemy of the State as the big issues. I mean, hell... look at how the chess game between whomever is running both SHIELD and Hydra vs Nick Fury is cracking open over in the Bendis books. then it'll be lame, but I also think it'll be a good deal more involved in that. And for that matter, how many uber-crossovers haven't involved most of the "Illuminati" members putting their heads together to fix things? The Illuminati have existed for ages in the MU, Bendis is just fleshing it out. Can't wait to see how that works out. Now that I think about it. The Illuminati did appear in Daredevil occassionally ever since Matt was outed, haven't they? It does make sense in looking back why, say, Dr Strange would give a shit about Matt's identity being revealed publicly, and also Reed Richards. I suppose they dragged Cap and Spidey along with them so it wouldn't look too sus.
