    - Starting off HOT with some corny jokes
    - Stream that from my account? Kayfabe, bruther!
    - Did I almost hear Craig swear? Stephen King bringing up lots of venom!
    - that first music festival sounds like my wide awake nightmare
    - the next Crash, Sue the Shooter vs. Quicksilver could be the first one in MOTHTS that gives me concern as my Invisible Woman is a paltry level 70 2/5/2
    - Not only did they change the art in 'Meet Rocket & Groot', the 'Luck Be A Lady' part will only be one day
    - Look at you, Ian, playing the game!
    - I find it HILARIOUS the devs thought the prior re-work of Carnage (version 2.0) would be a BUFF!
    - hashtag iPhone stinks
    - Then one of these oily guys sidle up to you and say 'uhhh, do you like the shrimp?'
    - My Silver Surfer is 4/4/2 with no ISO invested. He is a BEAST in PVP.  One day...
    - I'd roster Gwenpool as she's not getting rostered out at least for two more seasons
    - MY vine is a disaster, 2 Riris, 3 New Cages, 4 Coulsons, 4 Iron Fists and 6 Mordos
    - If only you meticuously tracked your movments in game, say with a spreadsheet, you'd know EXACTLY where those Legendary Tokens came from
    - My reward of the week was getting THREE Medusas in a row from two Latest Legends tokens

    I would disagree that people who like a feature will not comment on forums about it. Go back to when they introduced the champion feature. There were a lot of posts about how cool that feature was. On the other hand, if the forumites are split on something, then the negative feedback tends to drown out the positive.

    I realize my situation may be unusual. I was hoarding CP since I was finishing 3* and was merely days away from going on a "token opening party" to spend CP on 40+ classic LT when the change happened. I was looking forward to getting a plethora of covers from the large swath of 4* characters. I do hope they followup with the feedback in that thread and give players choice on how to spend CP to get 4*s. That's really it, just about choice.

    Can't answer about comic subscription services, but I have heard good things about Jay & Miles Explain the X-Men. I think it's fairly PG language-wise, though they do talk about the stories and events of the X-Men, so depending on the storyline you may have objections to the content as parent.

    I asked a friend who listens to more comics related podcasts than I do, and they suggested: Journey into Misery, which is another explanatory-type podcast; War Rocket Ajax, which is a bit more variety with guests and general recs, though still comics based with issues reviewed in each episode; and apparently the CA folk have started up a new podcast called Monster Society which is a best comics read in that month deal.
    None of which I've listened to, so can't advise as to language or themes, but they are all pretty professional-seeming, so I think if you'd be okay with your kid listening to the PW3, these would be okay.

    The official Marvel podcasts (This Week in Marvel and Women of Marvel) I'd probably save for a couple more years. TWiM in particular seems to be aimed at their key purchasing demographic (i.e. 20+), so while the language is pretty tame, some of the concepts and series talked about aren't and you'd probably have to pre-screen them to check their appropriateness. WoM is more family-friendly, but it is (slightly) more focused on female characters and women in the industry.
    But they are both interesting from a behind-the-scenes perspective, as well as littered with little tidbits of the guests favourite comic moments and trivia, and the hosts do an excellent job of keeping things moving and being entertaining. Probably not that interesting for an almost eight-year-old though.

    That was not a good choice for me to try as my first episode. So much music festival talk :) I'll try again with 89

    Oh, props for the shield intercept tip. I reset my advertisers token or whatever it's called and they started appearing again.

    Tony, I wasn't impressed with the selection available through comiXology's subscription service. Marvel Unlimited is great, though. In addition to Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men, I'll recommend The Lightning and the Storm (about Simonson's Thor) and Justice League International: The Bwah-Ha-Ha Podcast.

    --I'm not familiar with the song that plays in the trailer for The Defenders so it didn't affect me. I think the characters look great.
    --My 4-star Cyclops isn't a Champion but still did great against Hulkbuster. Thing is a Champion but I had a bad board in the first attempt; I won on the second try but it was still close because Thing just isn't very good, especially one-on-one. Sue, also a Champion, was so easy that I didn't even go invisible; I hit Quicksilver twice with green and that was it.
    --I have two covers for the new Rocket & Groot thus far (0/1/1) and looking forward to more. The fully-cover'd one that we borrowed was cool. In the required node for the current PVE, I'm using them with the 4-stars Star-Lord and Punisher.
    --Welcome back, Ian! I'm glad you're out of your funk.
    --Thank you, Ian, for your words of logic and wisdom about vaulting.
    --I spent 2500HP in the Heroes for Hire store again, this time buying a green Quake. She's now 1/3/5 and I have a 6th blue dying on the vine.
    --I have not bother'd with the Marvel Insider thing. It just doesn't seem worth it.
    --I've always heard the Featured Character of the Week intro as "Pigs in Space." I thought you were doing it in homage on purpose!
    --Galactus has switched from destroying worlds to creating them. Go figure.
    --My Surfer is 2/1/2, level 270, and I don't use him any time where it's important.
    --I have one blue for each Quake and Coulson dying on my vine. I'm unlikely to be able to use either of them.
    --I don't think Mordo is worth buying a cover for since he's still in stores. You stand a good chance of pulling a useable cover.
    --I saved CP and LTs until I Champion'd 4-star Blade. Once that was done, I bought 8 Classic Legends and three of them were 5-stars: Doctor Strange purple, Green Goblin black, and Iron Man yellow.
    --I know just enough about Sex and the City to know Charlotte was the sexiest one. I don't really want to know any more. Instead of "old lady from Porky's," how about "Spock's girlfriend from Star Trek VI?"

     I'll always send people to the Longbox Heroes podcast, they're clean, have awesome recommendations, and they're the best in the biz! DISCLAIMER: One of the co-hosts also happens to be my alliance commander, and I've been given a quota to recommend his podcast at least once a day to remain in good alliance standing ;) Am I good for the day, @LFChikarason?

    Did Ray ever confirm that we can indeed listen to the "lost perendiac" episode?  When I listened to the back episodes i went backwards to listen to their rosters get progressively worse.

    I do agree with you guys that the people on the forums can be very melodramatic, but it is interesting to here that D3 takes player reactions into account when, as of today, they have reversed the changes to Carnage and the  Scarlet witch/war machine team up tile issue, while staying the course on OML and Vaulting, despite the latter having more of a negative reaction.

    MPQ question:  What is the longest wave fight you would be willing to undertake?  Assume enemies get higher levels with each passing level.

    Haha, oh man, you tell them, Ian. Tell them like it is. I fell thoroughly chastised and I'm out here supporting the damn thing. ;)

    Also, I could tell Ian's back with it with his snap response to the Cyclops Crash opponent "trivia" question :)
