Finding Marvel Puzzle Quest in the darndest places

This past Friday I went to the Franklin Institute in Philly, which has a massive Marvel:  Universe of Super Heroes exhibit.  It runs until Sept 2 and anyone who might be in the area should try to go if they can.  Lots of original comic art and props and costumes.... It is massive and amazing, and just wow.

Anyway, the opening video for the exhibit was a very fast overview of Marvel's history, mostly focused on comics.  At the end they talked about Marvel heroes showing up in other media and guess what they put on screen?  That's right, Marvel Puzzle Quest (Steam version)!  And, it was the only game they showed.  That was surprising and pretty cool.

Other stories of unexpected encounters with MPQ?

    Well I was getting my tyres changed at a garage, whilst waiting I thought I'd do some PVP. One of the guys there came over and said "oh, you play that too..." He was past day 1500 and was telling me how he had all this ISO and nothing to spend it on.... like what I read on here

    I would love to have that problem. The ISO crunch feels like it will last forever.

    I have never encountered anyone else IRL who plays. The marvel fighting game though , I see a lot.

    I went to see John Cleese and Monty Python and the Holy Grail and the couple next to me were BOTH playing.

    For real. I have 18 4s that are ready to champ but I gotta work on champing my 3* dupes too. I could use some double iso events.
