CAT NAMES -> Harley Quinn -> comic books -> ??? -> PROFIT!!!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I need two cats names. One for a girl, one for a boy. Nothing stupid or lame, cause I'll just delete those. Come up with something different and unique and chances are I'll actually use it. Could be anything from band names like Elysion to video game names like Faust and Justice.




Posted by Zeta

Popo and Nana.

... Yeah, I've really got nothing. FEEL FREE TO DELETE THIS POST!




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Lame, but I almost like it. But something I'd never use.




Posted by Roger Smith

Faustus sounds **** loads better then just Faust. Or you can go with Skitters for the guy cat. Lumine is a female name I've always liked so maybe that I guess.

I post this only for the animals cuz I love em.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I like Lumine, and Faustus almost sounds better, not quite sure though. I'll have to discuss that with my family. But I like 'em.

Posted by Sapphire Rose

Guy: Mork
Gal: Mindy




Posted by Roger Smith

Lumine and Faustus aren't named without reason.

In German legend, Faustus is a medieval scholar who makes a pact with the devil.

The name Lumine is similar to Lucifer. And in Mega Man X8 Lumine's ultimate attack, Paradise Lost is also the name of John Milton's poem that deals with the fall of Lucifer in Christianity.

And yes I do realize that X8's Lumine is a male, but I myself find the name better suited to a female then to a male, but that's just me.

Quoting The Judge: Alien and Predator


Made me lol.

Anyway, all I can do for you is list some of the names I've always liked and used for characters in stories and whatnot, though I don't know if they'll stack up to some of the awesome ones I'm seeing here. There's a difference between a fun, slightly outrageous name for a pet and a serious, believable name for a character.

Guy Names
Jasper
Sigmund
Quinn
Clark
Ramses
Xiao Shen
Ike
Elvis

Also, honorable mention to previously-mentioned "Faustus," which for some reason seems like a cool name for a cat.

Girl Names
Sophie
Kaida
Olga
Lily
Melody
Violet
Miyuki

Hey my last suggestion was pretty good. :(

If it hasn't been suggested, Yin and Yang.




Posted by Linko_16

Only works if they're black and white. Bonus points if the white one's energetic and the black one's calm and relaxed. They'd actually be perfect names for my two cats, one of which is a meek black cat, the other of which is a spunky one with a siamese coloration, which is mostly a kind of off-white. But they got stuck with the crappy names Kitty and Muffy, which I did not give them.

Named a pair of fish I had once Yin and Yang, though.

My cat once tried to look around in a paper bag, got it caught on her head or something, and barreled around the house for about a minute, constantly scaring herself further just from all the noise she was making around her. One of the funniest things I've ever seen one of my cats do.

...I really don't know. I've never read a lot of comics. I know the characters, and some of the earlier stories, but other than that it's all new to me.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

just fukken go to ign or something and follow their read guides. arcs like civil war and house of m won't mean much to you if you don't know much about the characters involved.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

In terms of Marvel, start with Avengers Disassembled, then House of M, then Secret War, then New Avengers, then Civil War, then World War Hulk. Anything in there that takes your interest, read the connected comics, like Amazing Spider-Man.

Anything pre-Disassembled is too old to be relevant. You could try the Ultimate line too, but it's falling in publishing and only half or even a quarter of the material is good.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

That was actually a big deal. Nick Fury is mentioned practically everywhere. He is what made S.H.I.E.L.D. not suck.

Oh, and apparently Ultimate is better than Classic. I don't read Ultimate because I'll just get myself confused.

Classic > Ultimate, because there's more going on. Ultimate has its moments, but if it wasn't for The Ultimates or Spider-Man, I'd just give it up.

[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;652265]Also, I honestly didn't know X is so gay for comics. Jawsome.
Yeah, I was more of a comic geek when I was younger, then my local comics store shut down. Scotland doesn't exactly have a comic book culture, so I had nowhere else to get issues from. I download most of my comics, or if I really want to read something, I have to travel out to another city.

I'd probably have been ****ed if I'd read it as it was unfolding, but it's not as bad in retrospect. It created Ben Reilly though, who I've always thought was a pretty neat character.

I can't seem to find a good source for Avengers Disassembled. :(




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

[quote=Slade;663065]I can't seem to find a good source for Avengers Disassembled. :(

Guess you could skip it. It's a good story, but most of the characters who die in it haven't returned yet, and nobody's ~*EMOTIONALLY SCARRED*~ to the extent that it has a lasting effect on their character.

Brief summary: There's an Avenger called Scarlet Witch (Magneto's daughter), who's married to a robot called The Vision. She lost her child years earlier, and pretty much had a total breakdown, so she loses control of her powers. Scarlet Witch's superpower is to alter reality, so all the Avengers' biggest enemies appear out of thin air to kick the **** out of them. Ant-Man gets blown up by a zombie Avenger, Hawkeye sacrifices himself to blow up a spaceship, and She-Hulk goes primal and rips The Vision in two. Then ever big superhero shows up to put a stop to it, ending in Dr Strange using his crazy magic **** to essentially neuter her. Magneto flies in to take her back to Genosha before anybody can kill her outright. Which leads into House of M.

Afterwards, Captain America and the surviving Avengers are like 'JEEZ GUYS, WE DONT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN!' and they break up. :(




Posted by Fate

I can't download comic books. It's like downloading games. Blasphemous. I can't do it. I have to own the physical copy or it feels cheap.

I have the first and third limited edition books of Avengers: Disassembled that I'm going to put on sale on eBay because Carlos ended up buying the individual issues.
:(




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

I have a lot of trade paperbacks for old events like the Clone Saga and the KAREN PAGE HAS AIDS saga, but not much for current issues. My HDD is about 30% comics.




Posted by Slade

Yeah, I'm actually really looking forward to getting some of these in physical form, picking up books for old events, etc. There's no way I could buy comics right now. I'm basically on really long camping trip up here in the middle of nowhere. except, with computers and stuff

Quoting Vampiro V. Empire: No he can't. It was pretty badass.

OOPS lol too late.

I started on New Avengers, then went back to read The Sentry. Couldn't I just read Disassembled later? Or would there be a lot of "OH MY ***" that I wouldn't get and would make New Avengers that much better? As in, worth waiting at least a week for?



Posted by Fate

It makes for continuity and care to read them in order. For example, you really want to read Disassembled before you venture into current comic releases. It's kind of a big deal. You'd be like "wtf why do they not fight together and what's with this 'temporary truce' business" and stuff.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

I never had a problem with skipping arcs and coming back to them later. Like Fate said, it's just for continuity, but they're still stand-alone, you just don't get the full enjoyment.




Posted by The Judge

Comic books are for faggots and for people who lived before the dawn of TV and Video Games.




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

You should definitely try to read as much as you can get. My comic-retarded friend read my Civil War trade paperback after we went to see Spider-Man 3 and he was like 'why is this a big deal?'. The stuff that goes down in these arcs is quite often HUGE if you know your background. For instance, it's not big deal that Captain America and Iron Man are beating the **** out of each other if you haven't seen them fighting side-by-side for like a bajillion years. Goliath or Hawkeye dying doesn't carry much tragedy if you haven't read stories involving them. (Well actually I don't give a **** about Goliath, even having read ooooooold Avengers)

yeah, exactly. It's like only reading the fourth in a series of seven. You miss out on a lot of the significance.

Comic books are for faggots and for people who lived before the dawn of TV and Video Games.

It's also a running joke.

SORTA LIKE THE SENTRY AMIRITE HA HA HA




Posted by Fate

His origins more than his actual self.

The Sentry is okayish. When he was just a character in a self-contained series, it was a pretty fun look at what a Superman-style character would be like in Marvel continuity. Then they re-retcon'd him in pretty stupidly, and made him a total wuss. I'm not complaining too much though, because I love the little Silver Age interludes.

superman-style characters are boring

BATMAN COULD BEAT SUPERMAN

with prep time




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

Yeah, I'm reading the Sentry right now, and it's pretty much like:

YOU ARE HUMANITY'S LAST HOPE

GOLDEN GUARDIAN OF GOOD

BUT THEY'LL NEVER GUESS YOUR SECRET

repeat
