Comic thoughts:
Birds of Prey 84 - Nice issue. Barbara trying to patch things up with Huntress was nice. It will be awesome to have Babs back on the front lines if the thing inside her does indeed make her be able to walk again.
Batgirl 66 - This was god-awful. The romance with some loser raver and the appearance of some man-pig thing was just terrible. The only remotely good thing to happen in this issue was a surprise appearance of an OMAC.
Gotham Knights 67 - Pretty good issue. A porn cameraman accidentally films Bruce Wayne fighting Hush and makes the connection that Bruce is Batman. He tries to blackmail Bruce. In the end Alfred handles it and it looks like he shoots the guy dead.
Spider-Man House of M 2 - Jameson gets his hands on Parker's secret journal. In the end he reveals to the world that Parker isn't a mutant and only has powers because he was involved in a laboratory accident. Parker's world is now turned upside-down.
Superman: Sacrifice Part 3 - Holy shit. Max Lord has somehow permanently altered Superman's mind and caused him to beat Batman to near-death. Just before the JLA can imprison him, Superman beats everyone and gets away. Wonder Woman goes after Max, but when she stands before him, Superman appears from the shadows and holds her at bay.
Teen Titans/Outsiders Crossover - Finally, after dozens and dozens of "REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE!!" Superboy finally regains his mind and stops Lex himself. Indigo also regains control of her body and asks Shift to kill her before Braniac regains control. Shift tells her he loved her and then proceeds to make her insides into flesh. She dies because the flesh isn't able to come alive. After the fight ends,
Nightwing decides to quit the Outsiders.
Manga thoughts:
Naruto 269 - Chiyo and Sakura continue on with their fight with Sasori.
One Piece 375 - Robin and Franky arrive at Enies Lobby and Luffy catches up to Sanji and Sogeking.
Bleach 188 - Urahara shows up and has a talk with Ishin. Ends with glimpses of the captains having a meeting.
Ichigo 100% - Manaka and company have their graduation. Looks like a time skip at the end. Manaka is a construction worker.
So it's another "meh" week for the Weekly Jump chapters. The new Negima chapter will hopefully be interesting.
Game thoughts:
The soccer moms have done it again. They slapped an Adult Only rating on GTA: San Andreas, and you know what? I'm not mad at them for doing it. On the contrary, I don't care at all. Rockstar knew that sex mini-game was there and if they really wanted to keep a Mature rating, they would have made it completely inaccessible by removing the source code for it. I don't understand, however, why there's a major difference between a M-rated and AO-rated game besides a one year difference in age. I also don't understand why stores would refuse to sell AO-rated games, but would sell M-rated games. If parents want to make it so that only places like porn stores have the game, it's fine by me. I'll just have more reasons to stop on by the local porn store. >=)
In the end, this is just about people who are unqualified to be parents. They want everything done by someone else so they can slack off and do other things besides raising their own children. Of course, there are even worse people like Jack Thompson who thinks it's his duty to keep every dirty game away from children. Jack Thompson is going after The Sims 2 because he believes that The Sims 2 contains detailed genitalia under the game's censor blur. That of course is complete bullshit. This man deserves to be "boxed" just as that woman who sued some girls for leaving cookies at her door deserved her "boxing." LUE, LL, and many other gamers have already began, and I hope they do more.
Live Journal fails when it comes to listing multiple songs.
Current favorite songs: Terra - Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy VI), Memories of the Future - Yuka (Kiddy Grade OP), GO!!! - Flow (Naruto 4th OP)
