Should I be ashamed?

Not really, it isn't all too popular, it actually is a comic series that is noe on cinema, the reason why we care so much is that near the ending for the comics, there was an ending that I really find hard to explain.

Example: "...And the man was completly alone" and they show a drawing of a man cornered up in a room

Of course, this is extremly hard to adapt to movie format, so the movie was predicted as wether an epic failure or an epic win.

That movie was just dumb.

It prolly had to do with the big blue penis for 3 hours straight. lol

Did you feel intimidated? :D

When he said your name and about the calender I did think "Well bomtoons was a pretty good user this year too..", but you have done a lot.. organising loads of contests and things in the art forum.. you do deserve it =D

1500 Pages. I feel old.

noooob, maybe you could also not post 10 times on the 1500 page if you think it's such a big deal........

NO. Simply put, your friend is a dumbass. The watchmen is not showing the blue penis just because it can, its doing it to be acurate. The comics were drawn like that and all in all it makes sense. Why would someone nearly omnipotent need clothes anyways? He cant be killed by anything he doesn't care about humanity he doesn't need to dress like that.

As for the book itself, the comic was very unusual for a comic book (and remains so today). The entire story is just so huge, but the time frame in which stuff happens is really not that big. (due to flashbacks and stuff). The characters of the watchmen are human. With the exception of Manhattan all of the characters are not "Super" heroes, they're people that wanted to make a difference by dressing up in costume. All in all though, the comic was written INCREDIBLY well, like to the point that the literature in the books are just THAT well written.

Lastly, i wanna point out that the ending of the watchmen is phenominal. I prefer the comic ending of course but they had to simplify it for the movie due to a time frame. I have never read anything with an ending as good as this one, it even caused me to consider changing the ending of my flash series exile to be similar to that one (in theme, not like what happens exactly).

If you actually read that, kudos!

There was going to be one, but they stayed at home on their couches eating doritos.

Cool Ranch.

Grilled cheese, beef jerky, and pickles... A LOT of pickles.

Easy to pick up. I don't want to read instructions.
Instantly gratifying. I don't want to invest a ton of time in a flash game.
Addicting qualities. Powerups, combos.
Added twist. Take a genre, make it look/feel different (catapalt games? Shopping cart hero?)

Yeah, i agree. But i dont mind reading instructions (i tend to mash play and press all teh buttons xD ), i always like good replay value.

games where the body parts of the character don't become red on the first frame of each animation if you pick a player color other than red.

A must watch.

Gave it my 5, deserved more than 3.7 easily.

It is really sad, that movie is truly amazing, I don't understand how it gets that low score...

Yeah D,:

Why is it that it is the first time in quite some time that the top 50 look sorta stable, unlike when stuff like Right5Thingz ranked top 5, I have nothing against game parodies, but the top 50 look fair now, it feels good!

Word

P.S.

Hate to admit this, but I had never heard of the watchmen before that happy harry cartoon. It seems like a staple of the eighties, dunno how I missed it. Anyway, I went and bought the graphic novel compilation today, am almost done reading it. It's quite intriguing. I can see where shows like Lost and Heroes have definitely taken inspiration from it.

Though both shows have seriously declined in quality recently

For serious, that pirate game, now PortalDefenders, the man is unstoppable.

I agree, Ive been really enjoying Boms games lately. Dunno how the hell he does it while juggling a full time job making flash games for woogi world aswell!

Gotta say the artwork for those 2 games is absolutely amazing aswell.

To be honest I know very little about comics. Most of these super hero movies of late are way over my head. I haven't even read a Spiderman comic before, and I know maybe 2 Xmen off the top of my head.

I just came back from the cinema, I just watched Watchmen.

I just cried. Certain overpowered person, damn you! you did something bad to my favourite character.

Spoiler free...
