I'm zipping along these issues. Hard to believe that I've already read decades worth of stories involving Spider-Man. I can't imagine how a fan from the original days would feel given the explosion in popularity of Marvel.
I'm reminded of why Spider-Man continues to be the most popular Marvel hero. He struggles to be one. He's always getting trolled, always balancing priorities, and always getting the short end of the stick. It's...comical, for lack of a better word. And some of his wisecracks are genuinely funny in a lame kind of way.
I was expecting my friends to go visit this lounge called Mesa but plans didn't pan out. It's Memorial Day weekend--ain't no better time to go out. It's unfortunate we don't get to do things like this more often. I feel like there's a mental block preventing us to just go out. It only takes one to stop us all from going. Bunch of slackers, I swear.
Much of my exposure to Marvel was through the Capcom fighting games. I'm watching YouTube videos and stumbled on Maximilian's Online Warrior series of Marvel Vs. Capcom. I got so many good memories of that game. I considered buying it on PSN but there's probably nobody left playing.
I recalled an impromptu Marvel Super Heroes tournament back in day at my cousin's house during a party. Bunch of kids huddled in a room and passing the controller around. One of my relatives kept beating everyone. Those were the good old days. Heck, I remember tagging along whenever my brother spent the afternoon at an arcade called Yogi's. Sad how those died out. When you consider the economy of it though, it makes a lot more sense to just buy the game and play it at home. Online competition is just a bonus.
