  1. DC has good story lines nowadays.. but was never a DC fan.. kaya I was not interested in buying their new Crisis storylines.. but good reads yata.. coz a comic book fan in Filbars was so overwhelmed with the storylines.. he kept on ranting the story..  :lol:

     

    I think the editors over at the top 2 (DC & Marvel) are trying to keep things tight with their respective titles. As much as possible have something significant happen in the storyline--it gives the issues more weight and keeps readers hooked. No more long drawn-out storylines that take years and years to finish. That, for me, was the thing i hated most about the 80's and 90's comics (that, and stupidly expensive fancy covers). That way, the writers who made the story can finish it as it was meant to be finished. No more loose threads, no more cheap endings.

     

    Example: the Legacy virus in X-men. It was meant to be Stryfe's revenge on mutants, a virus that overpowered the victim by overloading their powers. At first it was an urgent matter, then as the years wore on it just became something in the background, mentioned occasionally in every few issues. Only after something like 7 years did they find a cure, and by then, no one really cared.

  2. havent you tried 16X DVDr's?

    just cuiorus kasi baka pag 16X DVD gamit mga 5 minutes lang ang isang 2 hour movie..

    siguro ang tagal mag burn ng DL, naiisip ko lang at pwede kayang 2 movies in 1 DL DVDr? hehe :D

    magkano pala bili mo?

     

    im gonna canvas tommorow

     

    There are no 16x speed DVD+-Rs in the local market. The fastest offered is 12x, branded pa yan. Most likely, 8x lang ang mahahanap mo. As for generic DVDs, better to save your money and go for the mid-range "premium". Generic DVDR costs around P8. Out of the 20 i bought, 5 dun badburn, may error. Yung "premium" ng CDR-King costs around P12 pero ok naman, no errors in writing and nababasa ng Xbox ko.

  3. I think Cyclops has anticipated that Jean will die (again and again) so there was a twist wherein Scott & Emma Frost (former White Queen of the Hell Fire Club) are having a "psychic" affair behind Jean's back....well Scott had Madelyne Prior naman di ba? :lol:

     

    More likely cyclops has a thing for psychics...remember he also had a psychic fling with psyclocke!

  4. martian manhunter might not be a good choice on this especially if its xavier and phoenix on the side of the x-men.  :(

     

    manhunter is somewhat vulnerable to fire and phoenix is... well... has an embodiment of a bird on fire...

     

    regarding spectre... unfortunately i don't know anything about the character except that he is a powerful dude  :cool: ... just a question pre... kasama na ba si spectre sa JLA?... di na ako up to date pagdating sa DC e... hehe...

     

     

    I think it doesn't matter what happens in each comic's own continuity, just as long as they once worked with the team. If we take continuity into account, a lot of things can't be done. For one, Jean Grey can't be included in a current fight because she's dead (again).

  5. can anybody guide me whats the best and cheapest computer specs that i can use for internet gaming and surfing? pang internet cafe ba.

    salamat

     

    For gaming, you have to get an AMD CPU. Whether you choose between an Athln64 or Sempron64 depends on your budget. Best to spend your money on a good, sturdy motherboard. MSI and Asus are brands known for reliability. Sometimes its better to get a PCI ethernet card instead of using the ethernet port built-in the motherboard, medyo madaling masira kasi ang ethernet port (from experience). 512mb RAM, minimum. 2x256 sticks on a dual-channel board performs better than a single 512. for vidcard, nvidia 6600. better to get a PCI-express motherboard and vidcard para madaling i-upgrade later on.

     

    for just plain surfing, 256mb ram puede na, tsaka nvidia 6200 video card. the cheapest AMD Sempron64 is more than enough.

  6. kikew,

     

    you mean that there won't be the 2.0vtec engine for the new honda civic that will be launchd

    this april.  In Singapore it has the 2.0vtec and it has the same engine as the present honda civic 2.0vtec.  I am confused bywhatyou say

     

    The '06 base Civic is offered with a 1.8L engine in both the European and US markets. The Civic SI will be offered with a 2.0L engine is the US. No word yet on the Type R.

  7. gnun b? ndi b yun sa CD writing software n settings lng? dapat pati yung CD writer mo eh kaya din ang 800MB?

     

    There is such a thing as "overburning". Check the help section in your Nero on how to enable it. Be careful though, if you overburn a CD too much, you risk damaging your drive. Usually, you should allow no more than 5% of the CD to be overburned (so a 700mb cd could theoretically contain 735mb).

    Luke Skywalker's theme from Star Wars (it's the music that starts playing when Luke looks at the desert sunset in Star Wars, the music that starts playing when a baby Luke is given to his aunt at the end or Revenge of the Sith)

  11. Was there a stand-alone X-men / Justice League Crossover? Or is this part of the DC vs Marvel/Amalgam universe that they published?

     

    I have the long delayed Justice League / Avengers Crossover, and as far as crossover stories go, this is probably as good as it gets.

     

    Art is by George Perez, and while his style isn't as flashy or as powerful the current artists, you have to give respect where its due. His art is all about the details. Beautiful work.

     

    Kurt Busiek does an excellent job of mixing in the major and minor characters, especially since both the JLA and Avengers have had lots of different members over the years. The story is far, far better than that Dc vs Marvel crap. Its not going to change your view of comics or superheroes, but at least you won't feel cheated after reading it.

     

    If you want a crossover where major events happen, get the Stormwatch-Aliens crossover. Sure, you may not care about the Stormwatch people, but this crossover really matters in continuity--mainly because if this didn't happen, Stormwatch couldn't have become The Authority.

  12. if ever sa memory card.. kailangan ba canon rin ung memory card

    ko or will a generic do.( uhmm may generic ba?)

     

    Canon (as do ALL camera manufacturers) gets its memory cards from third party companies. They just put a Canon sticker on it. As for how "generic" you want to get regarding the memory card, it depends on your camera. An entry or mid-level camera has slow read and write times, so buying the fastest memory card out there is useless. If you've got a digital SLR, then it pays to get the more expensive memory cards (which allow faster reading and writing), allowing you to shoot at the max burst speed your camera can allow.

  13. Sanayan Lang Ang Pagpatay

    (Para sa sektor nating pumapatay ng tao)

     

    Pagpatay ng tao? Sanayan lang 'yan pare.

    Parang sa butiki. Sa una siyempre

    Ikaw'y nangingimi. Hindi mo masikmurang

    Tiradurin o hampasing tulad ng ipis o lamok

    Pagkat para bang lagi 'yang nakadapo

    Sa noo ng santo sa altar

    At tila may tinig na nagsasabing

    Bawal bawal bawal 'yang pumatay.

    Subalit tulad lang ng maraming bagay

    Ang pagpatay ay natututuhan din kung magtitiyaga

    Kang makinig sa may higit na karanasan.

    Nakuha ko sa tiyuhin ko kung paanong balibagin ng tsinelas

    O pilantikin ng lampin ang nakatitig na butiki sa aming kisame

    At kapag nalaglag na't nagkikikisay sa sahig

    Ay agad ipitin nang hindi makapuslit

    Habang dahan-dahang tinitipon ang buong bigat

    Sa isang paang nakatingkayad: sabay bagsak.

     

    Magandang pagsasanay ito sapagkat

    Hindi mo nakikita, naririnig lamang na lumalangutngot

    Ang buo't bungo ng lintik na butiking hindi na makahalutiktik.

    (kung sa bagay, kilabot din 'yan sa mga gamu-gamo.)

    Nang magtagal-tagal ay naging malikhain na rin

    Ang aking mga kamay sa pagdukit ng mata,

    Pagbleyd ng paa, pagpisa ng itlog sa loob ng tiyan

    Hanggang mamilipit 'yang parang nasa ibabaw ng baga.

    O kung panahon ng Pasko't maraming paputok

    Maingat kong sinusubuan 'yan ng rebentador

    Upang sa pagsabog ay magpaalaman ang nguso at buntot.

    (Ang hindi ko lamang maintindihan ay kung bakit

    Patuloy pa rin 'yang nadaragdagan.)

     

    Kaya't ang pagpatay ay nakasasawa rin kung minsan.

    Mabuti na lamang at nakaluluwag ng loob

    Ang pinto at bintanang kahit hindi mo sinasadya

    At may paraan ng pagpuksa ng buhay.

    Ganyang lang talaga ang pagpatay:

    Kung hindi ako ay iba naman ang babanat;

    Kung hindi ngayon ay sa iba namang oras.

    Subalit ang higit na nagbibigay sa akin ng lakas ng loob

    Ay ang malalim nating pagsasamahan:

    Habang ako'y pumapatay, kayo nama'y nanonood.
