Monday morning burst transmission
Jun. 9th, 2008 11:16 amIt's weird, but for a Monday, I don't really mind being here. I'm sure that will change over the next few hours.
I've done some reading about the D&D day events, and it sounds like the DM we had went kind of easy on us. Apparently the statues in the second last room weren't supposed to activate until the Big Bad showed up, and the Big Bad was supposed to be on a pedestal.
Not revered or anything. On an actual "ten feet off the ground" pedestal. Which would have made hitting him harder.
I will not complain.
I've been re-reading some comics lately. The Dr. Who books from IDW are interesting, but seem kind of strangely paced; a couple issues seem to just stop. When comic doctor says something, you really realize how odd the dialogue is when it isn't being delivered by Tennant's goofy face.
Sometimes I think the show should start "The Dr. Who Temporal Adventure Hour is brought to you by Audiex Sonic Screwdrivers!" That gadget has almost transcended into a plot device by now.
I've gone over the Messiah Complex HC a few more times. I've been out of the X-Loop since.. Wow, a long time. It is still pretty easy to get back into the swing of things with general knowledge (and the "previously on X-Men" blurb inside the book cover).
Still, some questions remain unresolved afterwards ( which I will ruminate on under the cut )
Ruminating on the Ultimate Alpha Flight. It may not be as bad as what's been done to them in the main MU, but it's still not making me enthusiastic. At least they're not the only foreign supers getting the shaft.
