CSI Miami cancelled

Scott and Brian still prefer original CSI

Scott woke up at 1am Mountain to get Diablo 3 and played it before TMS

Diablo 3 was "hand-crafted by little elves at night". - Scott

Scott recommends Monk for mele, Witchdoctor for those who like pets and Demon Hunter for Brian who plays a rogue in WOW

Chatroom suggest Oyster Farmer XD

Email from Walter: (Not the Walt from Comic Book Men, but that show did get a season 2.) 15 Superhero Movies Better Than Spiderman 3 Batman: The Dark Knight Batman Begins Spiderman 1 Spiderman 2 The Avengers Captain America Thor Ironman 1 Ironman 2 The Incredibles X Men: First Class X2 Unbreakable Blade 1 Kickass

Scott and Brian agree with most of this but what about Superman 1 and 2 and Watchmen? The Avengers should be higher on the list. Brian mentioned Mystery Men. The Tadpool added Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Hellboy 1 and 2.
