I’m going to be straight up here. I love comic books.
My favorite character of all time is probably Black Widow. I don’t care if she seems a little slimy and untrustworthy. She’s hot, kicks ass and plays by her rules…mostly. The fact that Scarlet Johansson played her in Iron Man 2 was plainly awesome.
Introduction:
I began to play DC Universe Online the day that it came out on the Playstation 3. For me, the excitement was crazy. I was going to get to run around with Batman and Wonder Woman, help Nightwing kick people’s asses and give what for to the Joker’s minions. Simply put, I couldn’t think of a more fun approach to an MMO.
I already reviewed the game so everyone knows that I loved it. That was before I reached 30th level with my first character—a tech gadget girl mentored by Batman. I named her ‘Ambrosia’ and I’m about to tell you her story.
I have never been a huge fan of sixties campiness. Once in a while I find myself drawn to watch a clip from Batman or see Bruce Lee as Kato beat the holy hell out of some idiot in a bad suit but for the most part, I keep my cheese modern. Give me Bruce Campbell over the early days of barely color TV any day thank you very much!
When I initially heard that they were making a Green Hornet movie, I thought ‘how far can we sink?’ but almost at the same time, I found out that Hawaii 5-0 was a ‘new’ show. So never mind on the whole drowning at sea thing, maybe our creativity was bloodied by a couple of angry gremlins hell bent on getting a third movie made about them.
DC Universe Online hit the shelves on the 11th of January and there’s a disturbing lack of reviews out there. I personally snagged it on the PS3 for the couch quality hang out that I can only get with a console. The PC version is also out there for the taking.
I should start by saying that I played the heck out of City of Heroes and City of Villains. I had a respectable character in each. Then, I went on to play Champions Online (heck, a person could make ME in that game and it was incredibly easy!) This should suggest that I love superhero games and the genre in general.
