Trying out City of Heroes/City of Villians considering I picked up the value pack with 3 free comic books and a months free subsctiption for $10 at Big-lots.

Just doing my semi-bi-weekly check of www.xkcd.com and found an absolutely hilarious comic.





























If you've never been, you should definitely head over there and check out some of the older comics.  They do some great ones involving math and relationships.  Also, Zero Puncuation reviewed Alone in the Dark last week which was too good.  You can find that and this weeks review for Age of Conan at www.escapistmagazine.com .  Very funny.

So basically Giant Bomb is the sickest site ever.  Why?  Because it basically takes a networking approach, a la Facebook, and applies it with games.  Thats not all though.  It also tags on a very in depth video game Wiki.  And if that wasn't enough, you also have all the things you've come to expect from video games sites, such as News, Previews, Reviews, Podcast, and just overall great content.  Basically, if I'll go ahead and break it down even more.

Giant Bomb = ʃ [(Wikipedia - pedia + game)^2 + (Facebook - all the people you went to high school with, but never talked to) + (Great content)]
