this is an intro

[doomhand]

Hullo, I'm Surge! I'm bringing in Hellboy from the comics. Not the comics based on the animated films based on the comics that the movies were also based on. Just the regular Dark Horse ones. They're pretty different from the movies as far as hidden fantasy creatures go, in that they're not hidden in the comics and Hellboy is a world famous Paranormal Investigator in them and goes around punching things a lot with his giant stone hand 'cos his aim is shit.

So yeah, this dude is going to be rooming in apartment #2.002. SUP ROOMIES HOPE YOU LIKE GIANT RED DEMONS

You can hit me up on either my plurk, surgeprisingly or on AIM as HPlus Future.

[doomhand]

SIF c: She was so great, man... I am definitely looking forward to playing with her.

All you need to know about the comics is this:



Actual thing that actually happens.

Re: Yussss, a Hellboy >:}

[doomhand]

pricks are like 90% of hellboy's job
actually like 100% really but we are rounding or something

[doomhand]

this is gonna be great in the best way
or the worst
OR BOTH

[uninvincible]

YEAHHH KINDA but at least tony functions as a night light? ;;

[doomhand]

I am vaguely familiar with some of the DC appearances she made, and really familiar with DCAU so I sort of get the jist-ish? BUT I WILL READ THIS IF YOU RECC ME A PLACE TO START that isn't in the 1950s please i will cry

You can have all my CR and I will add you on both of these things

[doomhand]

oh my god he's gonna wake up and step on bits of the ceiling
i hope

[hexappeal]

1960s, actually. :'| And I recommend READING EVERYTHING TBH because I'm that asshole. But if you know of Identity Crisis, I would just recommend Seven Soldiers (unless you're one of those people that hates Morrison). I can't remember the exact reading order, but I'd seriously read the whole damn thing. It's one of the times DC got events right and full of losers that only I really care about (magic losers).

o right she also had a relationship with DC's resident Big Blue Demon in the 80s. He's precious :(

Yes, good. Makin' frans

[doomhand]

Identity Crisis made my cry because of what happened to Sue
I liked the crisis before 52
cannot remember the name for the life of me because they have had like a million crisises and most of them start with 'I'
I have so much love for dumb losers in DC. Like the last two beetles and booster and guy Gardner and just
JLI
JLI can just come to me and never stop
but I can't say I have an opinion on Morrison at all, really? I mean I have heard good and bad things, but I haven't read enough of him to tell. I HEARD HIS DOOM PATROL RUN WAS NEAT and I really wanna read it. My DC stuff mainly got condensed to the booster and beetle and question titles after 52 and then they rebooted and I was like FUCK IT and just packed my bags and left.

also I remember Blue Devil having a sidekick and I only know this because Jaime mixed it up with the Teen Titans and this just gets better and better the more I consider it

[hexappeal]

the last page with ralph in bed alone, i pretty much lose it. i try not to re-read it if i can, even for canon review. it so gross. :(

yeah dc likes their crises

i tend to prefer magic lamers (tm!!! don't steal 100% original description!!), myself, but i don't really follow big name bros.

i don't care for a lot of morrison's main character stuff (i like all-star superman, tho). if you like hellboy, you'd probably like his doom patrol run and i feel like if i were to intro anyone to the weirder side of the dcu, i'd almost always rec seven soldiers (and maybe the deadman series and idk, architecture and morality). but yeah i mostly just read dc. or i used to. it's what i breathe, so i'm always good for recs.

yeah!! that was a retcon that came in during teen titans. he wasn't really quite a sidekick until then? idk. it was a good series for being at the height of 80s schtick, imho.

[doomhand]

;n;

Apparently Supes hooked up with WW in the reboot. I usually don't keep up with what's happening but sometimes, man. SOMETIMES... Comics were hard ofr me to get into because i live in a tiny town and we have like NOTHING here but then I was introduced to digital comics and the rest is history. The only ongoing I'm reading now is Transformers More Than Meets the Eye and occasionally Robots in Disguise. I will def check those two things out though. I can usually go through comics pretty fast when I have nothing else to do, I just need to finish some college work that I have been putting off because it sucks my soul out through my nostrils.

THE 80S
sometimes it's like a whole era of gold star stickers for trying hard and then you get like crazy good things and ugh
Me and the 80s have such a complicated relationship when i remember things

[philologist]

yeah! i don't read anything (well, i do, but only to bitch about how awful it is!!) because anything i would read is basically just as good if not better in the old universe (swamp thing, animal man, etc). i keep up with it to Bitch and Moan exclusively. i'm firmly against trinitycest although i have a soft spot for clark/diana because of silver age and kingdom come and the like.

but yeah, my closest comic store is a good half an hour drive away and they're kind of assholes. most of what i buy now is exclusively off the interwebs for that reason. also cheaper. but yeah, i either READ ALL THE COMICS or have so many to read i quit before i start. i must have 30 trades waiting to be read but eh

lmao yeah
the 80s aren't as bad as the 90s, if we're talking comics
at least

[philologist]

also same douchebag
different account

probably

[waysmarterthanyou]

Oh crap, awesome! I only saw the movies but I love Hellboy.

My name's Rae, I play Gary Smith from the rockstar game Bully.

[tsundaga]

I love any and all renditions of Hellboy so A+.

[uninvincible]

I don't see why not

:D

[doomhand]

I do the same thing! I just like to hear knews about it and shake my head and be all like YOU'RE FUCKIN UP YOU'RE FUCKIN UP. DCAU did give me a soft spot for Diana/Bruce though, because they had such an interesting thing going on. Sorta. Ish.

The comic thing would be less of a problem if my main mode of transpo wasn't walking or taking the bus. No one will waste gas to take me to a comic shop that is probably in an hour away in the nearest actual city anyway, so it's like WTFever.

IDK man, I am pretty fond of Stormwatch, even if it was fucking ridiculous. Actually that is pretty much my guideline for things. I like silly things. And just really really bad things. Like Tarot. God that comic is just... wow. no words.

[doomhand]

yes good
this pleases us

[doomhand]

THE MOVIES ARE STILL GOOD! A lot of people don't like how they weren't exactly like the comics, because that is the complaint with literally any comic book movie, but I thought they were good in their own way and it's not like they ruin the source material. It's still there and still readable.

blah blah canon feelings.

OH MY GOD BULLY I have fond memories of Bully. One of the only PS2 games I ever owned and made my brother finish for me while I watched.

[doomhand]

Yes. Good. I can definitely get behind that line of thinking.

[hexappeal]

NO NEVER DIANA/BRUCE IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE (tbf, I am not a Zee/Bruce fan, either, although I have had dynamic good enough that I'd ship it via RP. Except. My OTPs are painfully obvious.). I'm not hugely a DCAU fan. I have essentially all of it on DVD, but I only really watch episodes with Zee. And Vigilante. Heh.

Yeah, I'm... the same... haha... driving is hard and terrifying and I don't. :(

I have crap standards, too. My love of awful horror films makes that pretty obvious! I'm an eternal Stuart Gordon fan, if that means anything to you. I couldn't get thorough the first issue of Tarot, however. I tried, I really did.

[waysmarterthanyou]

I'm not big on comics but I've always wanted to read the Hellboy comics to be honest. Looking forward to seeing your Hellboy in action!

OH HEY funny thing is when I first got into Bully I got my mother into it and watched her play while she finished it, lmao. I'm always kind of happy when I hear people have played this game. IT'S GREAT.

[aintnoconvict]

I only have the barest of bare knowledge about Hellboy. But I suspect eh is a pretty col guy and doesn't afraid of anything.

MEANWHILE: I am Keri, this is Glitch. He has a zipper on his head and is an expy for the Scarecrow from the wizard of Oz. That should be entertaining. I may do the plurkadd thing, I am keriseda

[doomhand]

only what he has the potential to be, my friend.

I am not only down with this, but i am also hip to your jive

and adding you on plurk as long as you're okay with it

[doomhand]

They are simultaneously sad heavy stuff full of feelings about what it means to be human even when you're not human
but sometimes they have monkeys with guns and people being silly about things

I should do a replay since I still have a PS2, but I'd need to find the game again since I think my brother sold his copy. THE ONLY NON-SPORTS GAME HE HAD
unless it's on steam
...
it is. SOON mOuOm

[waysmarterthanyou]

It sounds like something I would like to read!

:O YES I ENCOURAGE THIS go replay it. I was lucky enough that I managed to hold on to my copy since it first came out, even though I...lost it at one point.

[escapedpandora]

Hellboyyyyyy 8D

Hello, new neighbour! 8D I'm Shams and I play Hope from FFXIII, welcome to the game!

[doomhand]

fun fact: I have never played a final fantasy game and i don't know why
all i know about XIII is something about marks and chosen and also Sazh has a chocobo in his hair and a fly car

I am feeling pretty welcome right now actually
hello c:

[escapedpandora]

the flying car belongs to Ronald Weasley but the rest is~ dingdingding, completely correct! XD I like to joke that XIII is about crazy people getting tattoos, but it's really just another tragic FF story about trying to change an impossible fate, and all the deaths in-between.

but don't worry about not having played FF! |D It's just less pressure, yesssssssssss XDDDDD

[doomhand]

fly like really cool not fly like flying but sure. also does Snow have a bike that looks like a lady or what? I never really got what was going on with that.

Oh man FF and comics have a lot more in common than I thought.

[escapedpandora]

oh, that! |D Even better than Snow having a bike that looks like a lady: he has a bike MADE of two sexy Goddess sisters. Like. He's literally riding. On top of them. While they're scissoring each other. (If we can get a Snow in game Hellboy should totally make him summon to see the sexy, sexy ladies.) how is it that kids are allowed to play this game omg

Like so. XDDD

It's... a lot of dark aspect as well. ^^;

[doomhand]

Hellboy will just kind of stare and cough awkwardly and be generally confused about how the world works where Snow comes from.

I should go read a wikipedia entry or something. I don't have a console, so me playing it is pretty much not a thing unless it comes out for Steam.

[escapedpandora]

awwwwww, yeah, I don't think it'd ever be a PC game. ^^; I wish! Then I could take screenshots easier instead of trying to get good enough youtube clips. =\a

You could watch it on YouTube, though, if you actually have the time. XD;; It plays like a movie~ just a... really, really long one. ^^;; I think it was part of the reason why XIII was received with mixed reviews: it was more a movie than a game?

[doomhand]

That surprises me, because of people had problems with games that were more movie than actual gameplay, I doubt Metal Gear Solid would have been so popular. BADUM-TISH!

[escapedpandora]

XD Well, I know a lot of people dropped it because they wanted more options and open-world choices, where as XIII had a linear plotline and didn't deviate much... so more being able to 'play' a movie instead of being able to choose what's going on. ^^;; Metal Gear has a lot of-- running around and fighting and missions to choose while XIII was all drama and tragedy. XD;
