penumbren: On a gaming note, Desktop Dungeons is just as much fun as I thought it would be. :)
Ixamyakxim: I've been torn on this one. Much like the space based one (The Pit I think it's called?) I go back and forth on whether or not I think it would be fun as hell or tedious. One of these days, when my "games I want to play" and "games I want" lists are a bit shorter I'll have to find out.
Sword of the Stars: The Pit. *nod* I have it, but I found myself bored with it. I'll give it a try again at some point, but I think I'll be using a wiki when I do, because part of what was bugging me was the crafting/recipe stuff, as well as a fairly high difficulty due to the sheer randomness of what you find - as is typical of a roguelike, but noticeably frustrating with SotS:TP. So far, DD has been much more enjoyable, but that's probably at least partly because it's made for 10-30 minute playtimes, so it's easy to quit before frustration sets in. It's also much less focused on crafting and has more of a mini-town-management/world map thing going on.
penumbren: He also has a line in one of the first Ultimates comics, wherein newly-awakened Captain America is apologizing for breaking his nose (after freaking out upon being reawakened in the modern day), and his comeback is, "Don't worry about it - it's been smashed more often than Robert Downey, Jr."
Ixamyakxim: *edit to add: LOL that's great - and this was well prior to the first Iron Man film? If so, what a perfect bit of foresight. I admit that while I have a tiny bit of knowledge of comic characters I've never really read them, so that's a bit funny to me as I find RDJ's Iron Man / Tony Stark to be fantastic.
RDJ
is Tony Stark, I'm convinced. Iron Man is my favorite comic character, so I'll admit to bias, but I just can't see anyone else pulling that character off. At least, not so long as they base it on Ultimates!Tony - if they ever swerve more toward the normal Marvel universe, RDJ is actually too over the top. 616!Tony is a dedicated businessman and routinely wallows in self-hatred/angst/doubt to an extent that I just can't quite see him pulling off, after establishing the MCU character as he has.
Ultimate Nick Fury was introduced in 2001 - here's a link to his [url=http://marvel.com/universe/Fury,_Nick_(Ultimate)]Marvel wiki page[/url], with a good portrait. Also, see attached for the random pop-culture joke that I mentioned above - it was published in 2002. (I didn't read these until after I'd seen the first IM movie - I darn near actually fell off our couch, laughing at this.)
