I'm just saying, the people who complain about how AWFUL suburbia is strike me as the same morons who think that Catcher in the Rye is just the best book EVAR. You know, and those suburbanites are so PHONY. Because having a yard and a garage is just SOO boring and plastic. Besides, what's boring ab...

I guess I didn't get it when I watched it. Thought it was stupid, in fact. And why do people hate on suburbia so bad? It's a better place to live than 99+% of the rest of the world.

It has to be idiots suits that don't really have any idea what is going on because I can't see why the developers themselves wouldn't see this is lame. As a software developer (not games, though), I would say that it's 99.999% likely that the devs howled with RAGE that they were told to do this, an...

Let's see: Superman and Batman. Who else is famous? Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, the Flash, Hawkman... Honestly, I don't know what the deal is. I think sometime in the '70s or '80s DC got the image of being "campy," whereas Marvel had more of a street-cred. At least that was my p...
