Well Justin,
Thank you kindly for your email and please send a giant high five to your mates for reading my blog.
I understand you have a few questions for me and I’d be happy to answer them, sadly they will not be posted in the “International Ask A Question Day” (Click link to read #2) posts because well, that takes place on the 14th of March… It’s not just something I made up… It’s an actual thing. You can Google it.
I WAS going to reply with some snarky comment about you not knowing how to use the internet and a step by step diagram on how Google works, but then I read your questions and I really can’t help myself. I feel I must answer them and win. (Yes, it’s a competition. It’s always a competition.)
So here you go Justin and Friends:
Xbox 360 vs PS3 vs Wii:
The battle of the game consoles. (Insert dramatic music)
Sorry Wii users. Your console is silly. If I wanted to go bowling or whatever, I’d actually go bowling. So you lose before we even start.
So, which of these two systems provides a better gaming experience? The graphic quality is basically the same on both systems. Sony offers its online service for free, where as Microsoft charges a subscription fee. Though, content is added to Xbox Live sometimes MUCH earlier than Sony because well… You know… Money.
Xbox Live is much more user friendly. No need for a blue tooth headset and prayers that the game supports it. You can see your friends and what they are doing on Live. Making the Xbox a much better social interaction network than Sony's.
PS3 does have a Blu-ray player. Although, with a little leg work, an app called Pavtube can be used to view Blu-rays on your 360. It all comes down to game exclusivity. Both systems have games that can ONLY be found on their respective consoles. In my humble opinion the system with the best exclusive content is the Xbox 360. However my Xbox 360 died a horrid death and my PS still works perfectly.
So I’d have to go with PS3 because Xbox360 broke my heart.
Batman vs. Superman:
See the problem with this is there are soooo many categories to consider when deciding who would win… What are we actually comparing here?
Who’s a better superhero? Who would win in a fight? Whose outfit has been more ambiguously gay at times? Superman and his underwear on the outside of his pants or Batman and his costume with nipples? (Thanks Joel Schumacher)
Superman is the epitome of good. Batman is much looser with his morals. Does this give him an edge as a crime fighter, seeing as he isn't bound by some moral code he has imposed upon himself? Yeah, I think it does… I personally think Superman would win in an impromptu fight, but given notice that the fight was taking place, Batman would kick some serious alien ass and take the victory. There’s not a superhero out there whose preparedness skills match that of the Dark Knight. Plus, Superman’s Boy Scout mentality just plain gets on my nerves. Not to mention, his only weakness is a rock that just about everybody and their brother can get a hold of when they want to. So for being kind of lame, Superman loses to Batman in this debate.
Lastly…
Marvel vs. DC:
This is a comic book fan’s holy grail of debates. The list of iconic heroes from both is staggering. DC has names like Batman, Superman and WonderWoman. While Marvel has Spiderman, Captain America and the X-Men.
Fifty years ago DC would probably have won this argument hands down. However, excluding the Batman franchise, DC is not having close to the amount of success Marvel is having with their line of characters. Not to mention, this whole reboot of the entire DC universe that has taken place in the comic book world. Really? Give me a break.
If I was working off of the domination of geekland alone, Marvel would win hands down BUT we all know me way better than that!
Due to my favorite comic book of all time being Hellblazer and what is happening in the world of series at the moment with Constantine being released… I am going to go with DC. Sorry Marvel fans… The new Constantine series fixes all of the things that went sooo horribly wrong in the movie Constantine with Keanu Reeves as John Constantine… REALLY?! Keanu Reeves as THE John Constantine?! What a joke.
So yeah… Due to Matt Ryan in his perfect portrayal of John Constantine, I have once again found my love for Hellblazer and therefore the warm spot in my heart for DC Comics is back.
