  1. Not to get too far off topic here, but I have a "1st issue collector's item" edition of X-Force #1 with a trading card pack-in. It's never been opened and I only bought it for 25cents. Any idea if that's worth anything?

    Less than what you paid for it

  2. I agree they're well known, I don't dispute that at all. My eyebrow goes up though when I compare them to other characters that Chuck says don't have wide appeal or that have never been considered. I freely admit that JJJ and May are well known, but no one, and I mean no one, is going to pick them up as casual buyers. You have to be very devoted to a line to purchase characters like them, so I agree they have name recognition, I don't find them to be impulse buys, which Chuck claims is necessary for "new and old fans," but I don't see this wave appealing to anyone but long term fans. I don't mind that, I wish they would show this kind of committment more often to more obscure heroes and villains, I just think it makes some of their logic for not making other characters seem very hollow.

    Honestly you would be suprised....

  3. Are you looking to take a holiday from the boards?

    Consider this a formal, and public, warning.

    Your first post in this thread made me cringe but I let it slide, your second did again and now your third with the odd emphasis is just annoying.

  4. While I'm no fan of Apple products, Steve was a fantastic marketeer and had a knack for giving the general public what they never knew they always wanted.

    Apple will be interesting to watch now as to which way they turn, I'd be suprised if anyone else can manage to convince the shareholders to stick with such "premium" offerings in this economy. Simpler packaging alone would make a difference.

  5. I've more or less completed it now purely doing it single player, Its perfectly enjoyable single player, more so than the L4D series. Its fantastically short though if you stick to the main quests, explore and do the side quests and theres a good 30 hours in it just doing one play through with one character.

    I'm waiting for one last mate to pick it up then four of us will be going through it on CO-OP though :D

    (Its basically Borderlands with zombies to be fair)
