Why neckbeard?
20:32:59 Agent Dunham
My Saturday nights are thrilling and not at all reminiscent of a neckbearded virgin's
20:32:00 Agent Dunham
I beat az giant flying beastie in Monster Hunter, be happy about that.
20:29:19 Dora
Awww, I was actually going to be happy for you there.
20:14:53 Agent Dunham
Oh fuck it, I'll just get to the end of the joke now. The lady is me.
20:13:03 Agent Dunham
I was offline to spend time with a lady
19:40:38 Dora
It's kinda rigged in that everyone just votes for their neighbours, but the favourite always manages to win somehow.
19:36:56 Dora
Usually from the Eastern Bloc and Turkey/Azerbaijan.
19:36:53 Death Penalty
Sounds like fun.
19:36:28 Dora
And very hot women.
19:36:18 Dora
Nevertheless, to me it's a pretty fun and feelgood experience, full of outrageous outfits and deliciously wtf-inducing acts.
19:35:20 Dora
19:33:27 Death Penalty
Oh. Pretty much as soon as pop music comes up as a subject, I tune this ChatBox out entirely.
19:32:50 Dora
No, I'm just surprised you haven't heard of it considering the amount we talk about it in here.
19:32:00 Death Penalty
I can feel you judging the shit outta me.
19:31:45 Dora
It's like the one night a year Europe (and Israel) does politics through the medium of kitsch Europop and power ballads.
19:30:37 Dora
Oh.
19:30:07 Death Penalty
I am not trolling.
19:29:52 Dora
Are you trolling, DP?
19:29:43 Dora
...
19:29:27 Death Penalty
I will answer your question while posing my own. What is Eurovision?
19:14:50 Dora
Is everybody offline to watch Eurovision or something?
08:33:52 Dora
08:31:14 Whiplash
Think they're so great with their porcelain and communism
08:29:06 Agent Dunham
Fuck you, China.
08:25:12 Whiplash
Femsin and Mascin, and Auckles.
08:22:36 Dora
I'm not sure if many languages have that.
08:20:15 Whiplash
We have no gender-identifying term for cousin, nor do we have a collective for an aunt and uncle in the same sense as 'parents'
08:19:35 Whiplash
The lack of family words in English bugs me
08:17:08 Dora
Accurate.
07:01:32 Whiplash
"It's just like having a mango in my mouth!"
07:00:01 Whiplash
Tobias also has a website selling his new drink, Mango in My Mouth

06:50:45 Whiplash
That would Sonic: Starring Someone Else, Sonic Racing and Sonic Pinball?
06:48:39 Agent Dunham
But they just GOT Sonic's next three games exclusive.
06:48:09 Whiplash
God knows they haven't found a way to make money out of him
06:46:43 Whiplash
They could sell Sonic
06:44:23 Agent Dunham
Wii U is floundering, they have to make money somehow.
06:41:55 Whiplash
Nintendo trying to emulate the attitude that's made EA the darling of gamers everywhere
06:40:46 Whiplash

06:40:24 Whiplash
Some good Robin bits too. The switch out at the end, plus feeling the need to mention that the breather he was giving her was unused
06:39:44 Agent Dunham
There was a... party and she shows up because... reasons. I REMEMBER THAT I ENJOYED IT, LEAVE ME ALONE.
06:38:58 Agent Dunham
It was good. I actually don't really remember a whole lot, it was a while ago.
06:18:14 Whiplash
What did you think?
06:11:45 Agent Dunham
I did
06:04:10 Whiplash
Did you ever read Batgirl: Year One?
06:03:46 Whiplash
Not that Flamebird was ever anything to write home about
05:56:52 Agent Dunham
Costume is hideous, don't remember the name
05:56:49 Whiplash
I'm assuming it's the result of brain damage from her near-death experience
05:55:40 Whiplash
Oh God, how terrible is Bette's new costume and name?
05:55:06 Agent Dunham
Now I will be able to enjoy the prolonged bullshit with Batwoman's sister
05:53:21 Agent Dunham
*not
05:53:02 Agent Dunham
Took way to long to nog-kill him
05:52:14 Agent Dunham
05:52:11 Whiplash
What's that? He was revealed to be alive in Suicide Squad before the issue even came out? Hooray! And now he's paralyzed so he can be an anti-Oracle!
05:51:29 Death Penalty
I continue to be an utter disappointment when it comes to reading comics.
05:50:12 Whiplash
Nah, much better to have her Batarang her psycho brother over a bridge so Gordon's trying to arrest Batgirl for murder.
05:49:32 Whiplash
Apart from that beautiful ending of a BTAS episode where she was going to tell him but he stopped her saying he didn't need to/couldn't hear what she was about to say but that however she lived her life, he was proud of her
05:48:33 Whiplash
Also one of the few stories to touch on the fact that Gordon really should be able to recognise his own daughter
05:48:11 Agent Dunham
I read the most recent issue. So bad.
05:47:50 Whiplash
Mental note: re-read Batgirl: Year One
05:46:00 Death Penalty
What a shame. It makes so many characters with potential into your garden variety tools.
05:44:11 Whiplash
It's the easiest and people think it's "gritty"
05:43:49 Whiplash
The Batgirl who dared Batman to sue her for using his symbol.
05:43:48 Death Penalty
It's pretty much the least interesting and endearing expression of emotional pain there is.
05:43:24 Death Penalty
Why is angst such a popular choice in writing?
05:42:04 Whiplash
That was the other problem, you had to get so many Riddler trophies to unlock them
05:41:32 Whiplash
Dear DC Editors: The Barbara Gordon people like is the intelligent, hopeful and rebellious Batgirl of the Animated Series who, most of the time, enjoyed the rush of being a crime fighter. Not Angsty McAngstbat.
05:39:45 Death Penalty
I forgot Arkham City even had interview tapes.
05:39:39 Whiplash
Riddler's riddle of the sphinx variation, Joker's different stories
05:39:27 Death Penalty
I meant Arkham Asylum.
05:38:51 Whiplash
AC interview tapes disappointed me, they were just recounting their origins while Strange went on about how awesome he was. AA interview tapes are where it's at.
05:38:09 Death Penalty
Adding telekinesis to that character's reimagining so blatantly misses the point.
05:37:52 Whiplash
But I suppose a crap villain for a crap version of Batgirl is somehow appropriate
05:37:23 Death Penalty
The psychology of the villains is half of the appeal of Batman, if you're asking this admittedly casual fan. It's what made the interview tapes in Arkham City such desirable collectibles for me.
05:36:44 Death Penalty
That sounds like an amazing plot. I always had a soft spot for the Ventriloquist.
05:36:20 Whiplash
Scarface keeps talking about getting rid of someone, while Wesker begs him not to, and when Batman tracks them down to Wesker's old house, he finds Scarface has torn up a picture of Wesker's mother
05:35:17 Whiplash
Scarface makes him escape from Arkham, interspersed with flashbacks to his childhood as the son of a mob boss who's protected from everything by his doting mother who is promptly murdered leaving her son expected to take over the gang
05:35:01 Death Penalty
Oh well. With the nebulous nature of comic book plots, it's only so long until someone comes along and retcons it and returns it to its roots.
05:33:55 Whiplash
There's a heartbreaking story of Wesker's origins in one of the Bat Adventure stories
05:33:44 Death Penalty
Let's get rid of the deep psychological issues and mental illness and just hamfist this with some telekinesis and some typical revenge tripe.
05:33:04 Death Penalty
Wow. That's so much less interesting than the original concept that I could weep.
05:33:02 Whiplash
Thanks DCnU! I love the way you keep shitting all over my favourite villains
05:32:33 Whiplash
Gone is the tragedy of a man unable to control or even properly process his own criminal nature, in his place comes a woman who got rejected from a tv talent show and has telekinesis
05:31:26 Whiplash
Welp, that's the Ventriloquist ruined for sure now
03:34:46 Ariana
Nevermind, I can apply for a tuition fee deferral. Wheeew.
03:07:33 Jake
Oop.
03:03:30 Ariana
Oh hell. I just found out my tuition is due on June 24th, not July 24th.
02:22:55 Jake
It might just be a paperback thing for it. Although, the other three aren't formatted like it. And ADwD isn't either. I have that in hardcover, though.
02:20:55 Jake
The font itself might also be bigger. I'm not sure.
02:19:53 Jake
The book itself also bugs me because it's spaced too much. Compared to the first three, each page is pretty sparse. They could have compacted it. Fewer pages that way. But the same formatting as the first three.
02:17:12 Jake
I haven't nearly fallen asleep during Aeron's chapters this time. So that's an improvement.
02:15:27 Jake
Me too. Doesn't seem to be going much better the second time.
02:14:07 Singularity
I'll admit I struggled.
02:14:02 Singularity
AFfC is a slow burner.
02:13:07 Jake
I've re-read the first three. On the fourth now.
02:11:59 Singularity
My Nook should arrive on Monday. Tempted to read the whole series again after exams.
02:11:43 Singularity
They'll have to make it less subtle for the series though.
02:11:28 Singularity
o lord
02:11:05 Jake
Two words: pigeon pie.
