Can't recommend the Age of Apocalypse enough, although be advised that it's an alternate universe. Some good character exploration by putting them in strange environs. Also... no Clone Saga. Just... just no. Marvels, by Alex Ross, has some great art and the perspective on the Marvel...

Here we go... again. Every damn time we encounter someone from the rest of the world... You wanna know why? Here goes: We don't wanna. They tried making us, we're not having it. Yes, metric is easier to learn, is based on something remotely logical as opposed to the as-you-like...

I like it, but Jim, man, modulate your frickin' voice. I have no problem with the style of your delivery, just back up off the damn mic. I shouldn't have to play with my volume knob to be able to hear the quotes you included from the movie without suffering ear damage from your sudden yelling...

As a pedestrian living in a city with designated bike lanes, I find it is a common occurrence for me to be struck or nearly struck while on the sidewalk. It happens more frequently in a tunnel where there is a sign explicitly banning riding bikes and instructing cyclists to walk their vehicles...

White Russians. Milk, Kahlua, Vodka. Enjoy.

I'm voting for Super Ghouls 'n' Ghosts... although I'd be willing to cede the NES predecessors (which I never got the chance to play) would probably be as hard/harder. I tried getting my kid to play it, and he quit within minutes. Kids these days, mollycoddled by games that don't teach you to...

Waitstaff are essentially your slaves. The guy at McDonald's, he deals with you for maybe a minute, but every little damn thing a customer wants is a waiter's responsibility...sometimes for hours on end. More water? Let me run over to the other side of the restaurant and bring that over to...

Thinking back, I remember being severely pissed about the treatment Nixon got when he kicked it. I'm sorry, I had been under the impression thus far that the man was a living parody of the sorry state of American politics, but apparently I had been mistaken...

Beat me to it. Go hunt down the Bushido Blade games, they're what you're looking for. They're a bit dated, and the graphics are laughable by modern standards, but hot damn, what swordplay...!

Dear God, I hope it incorporates the Grove Street Families. Representin' the Grove for LIFE!

Not that anybody's still reading this thread down the line, but... I loves da 40k, I have 6k of orks here in the house. That said... he's right. Damn him, he's right. Perhaps I wouldn't be so harsh on the setting, but that's me being amused by aggression. (One of the reasons I like...

Wasn't that the NES version?

I smoke, so my lungs have a healthy black sheen to them. On my 21st birthday I broke my collarbone, and was too busy getting loaded again the next morning to see a doctor or anything so it set slightly uneven. Drinking and smoking, kids. Stick to the vidya games.

My g/f is into a lot of stuff like this. While not particularly interested, I recognize that she puts up with a *lot* of my crap (915 hours of TF2, anybody?), so I'm down to play. Really, the tough part was breaking 25 years of "Don't Hit Girls" conditioning.

As a proud chain-smoker, I gotta say I approve of smoking in games. Not that big a fan of using smokes to define someone as cool, but as it is something that one encounters in real life I figure it has a pace in games. That said, I have to tell you all how much I love you at this moment...
