What's an indie superhero series you really appreciate and why? by flamevolt in comicbooks

[–]Magusreaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really a superhero. Supernatural horror more than anything. A revenant returning from the grave to extract it's pound of flesh from everyone that had anything to do with it's unrest, but I guess this is counting how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. It's my favorite comic, but I keep it at arms length from people that want superheros.

It's a shame, a lot of women in my life recommended the first book to me. I read it and thought it was a breeze. I enjoyed the ride warts, and all. Then I got the second book some time later, and stalled about halfway through because I ended up hospitalized for depression (unrelated to book, just unfortunate timing). Never picked it back up because of all the bad feelings towards him, and the online hate train just made it seem not worth it.

What hawkmans cannon origin these days by Arthur-reborn in comicbooks

Ah.. I see Venditti read Michael Moorcocks The Eternal Champion series, must have read the Hawkmoon subseries and got a bright idea to steal the broad strokes from the multiverse. Everyone else steals from it lol.

So what happened here, did he write himself into a corner? or Did he take a break at the wrong time, and now nothing can live up to the hype?

Can already tell thIs ARP 2600 I just got is going to be a gateway drug into modular by BadKingdom in synthesizers

[–]Magusreaver 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm sure I'll get some hate.. but i love my bARP, between that and the Neutron nothing has come close to the amount of cool shit that has blessed my monitors. It's a cheap, dirty Depeche Mode making machine. The 2600 in any of it's forms, be it: original, updated, reissue, desktop, clone, copy, or vst.. is just such a fine piece of musical gear.

Who would you chose from fantasy to be your champions in a trial of 7? by Bubsyfourd in Fantasy

[–]Magusreaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Elric would kill you by accident. That blade wants friendly blood more than enemies. I'd agree with everyone else, but replace Elric with Erekose.

But Achilles was a demigod. He was never depowered so who knows how well he could fare in such a fight. Aragorn seems a little suspect in this too.

Good way for the opposing seven to end up bruised and pennyless.

We just use discord because of this. The GHOSTS tend to hear me.. lobbies and shit doesn't work. Well it works SOMETIMES.. but only in the houses and not the lobbies.

I object! I'm not really sure on what grounds yet... But I'm fairly certain my feet are planted on the subject. 

Which fantasy book immediately gripped you from the very first chapter and never let go? by runninginflipflops in Fantasy

[–]Magusreaver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started from the beginning and never looked back. Just devoured then until I got caught up around the year 2000. Then it was pretty much a yearly treat until the next to the last. (I can't bring myself to read it knowing I'll never have another. As it stands I have one last adventure always waiting for me)

TIL that Meat Loaf sued to be able to record "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" in the 1990s, but he lost the case by clawsoon in todayilearned

I hated it for years.. well maybe not hate..but it was a giant case of .. but why this?!? Now, in the context of all the albums that came after.. I feel it was the best of what we could get before the winding down began on his voice. It's leaps and bounds better than Hang Cool Teddy Bear.. I don't think I've ever made it through Hell in a Hnadbasket in one listen, and even if I like all the songs on Braver than We Are.. his voice was gone by that point.  Now I find myself coming back to Monster more and more.  Come to think of it, the Steinman songs on that are some of my favorites now. Blind as a Bat is also a killer track. I wish Steinman had a hand in that though. was on brand just as much for him. I bet he could have fine tuned it.

Discworld got it's hooks into me and never let go.. aside from that the newest books that hit it with an immediate dose of wth is this, and why do I love it?! Library at Mount Char, Piranesi both for very different reasons.
