Hey guys,

I've been collecting for about a year with a few short boxes worth of bagged and boarded comics - paranoid about comics leaning and bending over time under the weight, I usually push them to the front of the box so they're upright, and put a book-sized piece of cardboard behind it with something heavy behind that to hold all the books upright (rather than having some of them leaning to prop the majority up).

Is this something I really need to do, though? Whenever I see people going through their boxes on YouTube, they don't seem worried about keeping everything upright. I'm thinking about ditching this method since it makes flipping through books a pain when they're so tightly pa

Hey guys, I've been collecting comics since last summer and I've got about three shortboxes of single issues so far. They're mostly recent, modern age issues, but I also have quite a few bronze age books. None of the 'old' comics I had showed any great deal of wear outside of the foxing that is to be expected, and I figured that there's no need to worry about that spreading (if that's even possible) to modern books since the paper they're printed on these days is semi-gloss and has a much lower acid content than the old newsprint.

[However, I recently picked up some issues of the '70s Shazam series for cheap, and found that one in particular has some pretty bad rusting on the staples whi

Hi, I just recently began watching the show and I'm loving it - I just wanted to ask a favour of anybody that owns the Blu-Ray release of the show. Could somebody possibly take a 1080p screenshot of the title card for me? I'm wanting to use it as my desktop wallpaper.

I've looked around for such a screenshot online, but none of them are high enough resolution. I'll be able to crop/adjust it myself in photoshop, so I just need the fullsize screengrab.

If anybody could help me out I'd appreciate it, thanks.

I'm aware that the majority of us here didn't like the look of DC's current LEGO variant covers - they seem kind of lazy, recreating the boring 'zero issue' covers with lego minifigures on a white background, unlike the Marvel LEGO variants from a while ago which actually recreated classic iconic Marvel covers.

However, having just returned from my LCS to pick up my pulls, I've found that Diamond had only sent them the LEGO variants, and so my Batman #36 now has, instead of this pretty cool and dramatic cover, a [LEGO Joker which sticks out like a sore thumb](http://i.newsarama.com/images/i/000/133/497/i02/Batma

Due to a couple of series ending, going on hiatus, or failing to hold my interest any longer I've now ended up with a couple of empty spaces in my pull-list.

I've hardly seen the current Hulk (Duggan/Bagley) and Fantastic Four (Robinson/Laming Kirk) runs discussed here, but I'm thinking about getting into them since they're pretty core Marvel characters that I've had little experience with.

The only Fantastic Four and Hulk stuff I've read before has been a bit of silver age stuff, do these current series have that same sense of fun experimentation about them? If not, are they particularly good in their own right? Alternatively, feel free to suggest other titles that might be close

Hey guys, I just recently got back into CS:GO after a couple of friends bought it in the recent sale. I used the online crosshair generator to make myself a crosshair which I've found really useful, a small static pink cross.

After screwing around with some viewmodel settings in the console, and then being unable to find the original default settings when I wanted to switch back, I just deleted the config file and had Steam redownload it. It fixed everything regarding the viewmodels, though for some reason my crosshair now seems to have a black outline which I didn't apply to it (I'm using the same crosshair commands from before), and I don't seem to be

I've been looking at getting hold of some Dungeons and Dragons books to run a game with my friends, all of us being new to RPGs outside of a short zombie game I found online that ran similarly to Savage Worlds (with fewer attributes and no skill system).

I have, however, spent a lot of time over the past 6 months or so reading r/DnD and r/rpg, and I've had a look at a bunch of different systems in hopes of finding something to play when we all get back home for the summer.

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons seems to be the way I want to go as I'm not fond of the idea of using miniatures, and the system itself seems a lot less restrictive and easier to rule on the fly than later editions.

So I've been watching the various series over the past year and two months (finished Voyager and TOS), and after being distracted by some other shows I'm finally closing in on the end of TNG.

I just watched this episode. Oh man.

Although I've seen people on this subreddit complain about how annoying they found the character of Lwaxana Troi, after a while I actually realised I quite like the comic relief she brings to some of those episodes (which provided moments such as this).

The tragic background of her husband leaving, causing her to chase so many different men and a rift to form between her and her daughter made her a bit more interesting

Hi, I'm trying to get back into reading, and the genre that interests me the most right now is science fiction.

Anything would be appreciated - I particularly like older pulp-style sci-fi and space opera stuff. Also, Blade Runner is one of my favourite movies, so any Phillip K. Dick or Asimov stuff would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

(I'm in the UK, if that makes a difference.)

I had never played a pen and paper RPG before, and neither had my friends - we planned on playing the FASA Star Trek RPG after some recommendations on here, but I figured I should start with something simpler first.

I found Dungeon Squad - a free, incredibly dumbed down Dungeons and Dragons-style game, and found that there was a zombie based version, Zombie Squad.

The basic rules are very simple (I managed to run a game having never even played a pen and paper RPG before), though the combat system isn't very good - I instead assigned any weapons players found their own damage values (eg. 'Machete D4+2 with chance to dismember') rather than the D6/D10 system prov

This will contain TOS spoilers - most of you have probably either watched it or don't care for it, but I figured I'd let you know nonetheless.

I'm finishing up TOS, and just watched the Season 2 Episode 19 'A Private Little War' (I caught Season 3 when it was on TV a while ago, and then worked my way back around with the DVDs).

I've also watched all of Voyager and half of TNG - obviously very few episodes have downer endings, even moreso with TOS.

A Private Little War might be one of my top five TOS episodes, just because of the way it dealt with the idea that there was no 'right' solution. The part with McCoy preaching to Kirk about how wrong he is to give the 'Hill People' flintlocks w
