A NEW Heavy Metal live action film would be okay, as long as it's better than FAKK2. If you're right about it being a remake, though, all I can do is quote El Superbeasto:
Good to see "the best/most iconic of the DC universe" still being represented in that game, as per Jim Lee's help. I guess he wasn't thinking too far ahead (or too far back) with this reboot that was planned over a Sunday lunch break.
As for HeroClix....maybe it needs to go F2P, too, considering the too expensive virtual prices (equal to a plastic piece). You know, last year or more, the DnD Star Wars minitatures went half-priced, due to the economy (giving collectors a break) but these virtual versions don't???
Ugg, Rock video started playing as soon as window opened, so I was stuck going through my tabs for a moment trying to find where it was coming from to shut it off.
