Pokemon Fire Red/Green Leaf just came out.

Steve Irwin died, Olympics were in Italy and Lindsey Vonn hurt herself after a crash on the slopes...

Gonna be honest, I didn't overly enjoy the finale for DC KO.

Felt like a finale to a Grant Morrison crossover where it goes absurdly meta but not nearly as well written. Which actually I guess just describes every big event comic they have Snyder write.

Spoiler if zealot or demo haven't read it yet

And now we'll get another crisis event to reboot everything, oh joy. DC is that meme of the kid with his veins popping out of his head every time they go two years without a complete reboot of the continuity

Ehhh... I disagree that it went absurdly meta. It was as "meta" as it was going to get the first time Darkseid showed up "everywhere" at once. His fight Luthor, Captain Atom and Guy already provided the hints as to what he would have to do. 1. Make a sacrifice of himself/give something of himself up. 2. Refuse to bend to the whims of the heart by relying on others. The final issue culminates in him having it all and giving it up. The alternative would have been to make everything in his image and possibly become Darkseid because Darkseid "is" and Darkseid must always exist. I have no idea what the upcoming crisis brings but I welcome whatever it is if the story is good.

I also don't think they were trying at all to ape Morrison. The story makes no commentary on itself outside of the boardgame night.

As an aside, I don't think King Omega Supes trumps Cosmic Armor/Thought Robot supes.

I've read it, I don't think the next Crisis will be a continuity reboot. I think Superman pretty explicitly laid out 'I COULD reboot continuity here but I'm not gonna," so maybe they're getting away from that with their big events. I'm guessing Absolute Crisis will be a team-up of Prime Earth and Absolute characters. I'm also gonna make a prediction that the end will free all those other universes from Darkseid but at the cost of like the Absolute Universe will never be free or something.

Incidentally the whole Uxas thing really changed how I perceived Darkseid. I always sort of held in my head that he and the new gods were pieces of creatures that existed outside reality. Like every universe in the multiverse having a Darkseid, but they're all pieces of the same Darkseid type shit.. Incidentally, that seems to be what he is trying to do with the multiverse. He's trying to become what I always assumed he was.

Said it before and I'll say I'll say it again. Would wife.

[Krandor]

I took it as no reboot right now, but having a crisis event and not making it some kind of reboot would be very out of character for DC.

At least we're getting some fresh Superboy Prime content out of all this, which I can never hate on.

Kids nowadays don’t understand the struggle of going through Netzero cd’s to play PSO on Dreamcast.

Netzero usernames or passwords were hashed in a very specific way. I don't remember which. Myself and a friend figured out the hash because the dial up client (that would force ad banners) handled the hashing which it then sent to the dial in server. Using that hash instead of whatever your user pass was, allowed you to dial up with any client with a modem. So basically we played PSO free without having to pay for shit. Granted I already had AOL, but they weren't down with letting people dial up with dreamcasts.

This is like the cereal place? Like let's ignore the phrasing; they thought they could get kids to eat their cardboard flakes with the right marketing?

My dog is out of surgery, the surgeon says she thinks she got the whole tumor and didn't find any signs that it had spread.
