I snagged Rainmakers for half off.  They make me want jolly ranchers.
@  Trpodeca : (18 January 2020 - 04:21 PM)

I was using my account on another comptuer, and oddly it seemed to default to $US rather than converting it.
@  TM2-Megatron : (18 January 2020 - 02:02 PM)

You should be able to set eBay to display in your local currency, although personally I like to know the actual currency the item is listed in so I know if I need to account for forex fees or not
@  Trpodeca : (18 January 2020 - 06:34 AM)

I'd also like to take the opportunity to say I despise Ebay for showing the list prices in US money.
@  Trpodeca : (18 January 2020 - 06:23 AM)

Well there is an overpriced limited edition, but I don't want to pay that much money for it.
@  Trpodeca : (18 January 2020 - 06:21 AM)

Well great. The one Usagi Yojimbo volume I don't have and it's out of stock.
@  Rycochet : (17 January 2020 - 06:15 PM)

I both love and hate that the Alien franchise seems to have had more luck finding a niche as a line of children's toys than it has at producing worthwhile films.
@  Donocropolis : (17 January 2020 - 06:35 AM)

I've seen them on the shelves at Walmart. They're pretty great looking retro Aliens toys. https://www.walmart....-Vary/934039489
@  fourteenwings : (17 January 2020 - 01:11 AM)

IIRC somebody on here mentioned an unbranded Alien toy a couple of weeks ago? It seems like it was actually part of a collection for the Alien movie series by Lanard. Mattel's making some stuff too.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (16 January 2020 - 03:12 PM)

Is it really a worse name than say, HMS Spanker?
@  Maximus Ambus : (16 January 2020 - 02:36 PM)

'Boaty McBoatface' was a actual thing?! Wow.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (14 January 2020 - 02:00 PM)

Might be worth bringing back this thread.
@  ThunderWear : (14 January 2020 - 01:53 PM)

Of course I had the idea to download all the pdfs like a week too late. Anyone got an archive?
@  Steevy Maximus : (14 January 2020 - 12:48 PM)

The Collector Club is dead. Seems like it all came down shortly after New Year
@  ThunderWear : (13 January 2020 - 11:06 PM)

I can't get to the collector club website. anyone else? I was literally going to download all the fiction to finish reading.
@  Maximus Ambus : (13 January 2020 - 04:50 AM)

News today is all 'there's a CHANCE it would snow in July' and 'dogs COULD bite back'.
@  Benbot : (12 January 2020 - 10:05 PM)

Holy crap, do many people get hurt by them?
@  wonko the sane? : (12 January 2020 - 02:11 PM)

Even in fallout, they never carpet bombed with nukes.
@  Maximus Ambus : (12 January 2020 - 12:43 PM)

I hope the stockpiled nuclear weapons of the US and Russia are accounted for then.
@  Nevermore : (12 January 2020 - 12:22 PM)

Geez. 1760 (!) bombs from World War II that had not detonated and were still armed have been found. That's only the numbers for the federal state of Germany I live in, and only for the first three quarters of 2019. For all of 2018, the total number was 2811 (!!) bombs.
@  CVReynolds : (11 January 2020 - 11:05 PM)

I've been wanting a Tarantulas that turns into a more realistic tarantula for a long time. Maybe Takara will someday do a Masterpiece, which would be neat. But I really want to see a modernized look like in the IDW comics.
@  Tm_Silverclaw : (11 January 2020 - 09:43 PM)

We need more Waspinators.. and rattraps.
@  Ashley : (11 January 2020 - 07:09 PM)

I'm on board with that
@  Dekafox : (11 January 2020 - 06:17 PM)

What I'm hearing is we need Cyberverse Waspinator
@  NotVeryKnightly : (10 January 2020 - 01:27 AM)

He's appeared across more branding changes than Waspinator, so maybe it's more the other way around.
@  Ashley : (10 January 2020 - 12:01 AM)

is C3PO the Waspinator of Star Wars? he'll live forever, because it's funny for him to suffer
@  Sabrblade : (09 January 2020 - 11:52 PM)

He's still waiting for them to be funny.
@  ▲ndrusi : (09 January 2020 - 10:35 PM)

Why?
@  Maximus Ambus : (09 January 2020 - 04:02 PM)

I've been watching South Park, Family Guy and The Simpsons with a straight face for a decade now.
@  wonko the sane? : (09 January 2020 - 03:18 PM)

If that's what it takes to get you to take the medication, sure.
@  Bass X0 : (09 January 2020 - 01:52 PM)

If I go crazy, will you still call me Superman?
@  fourteenwings : (09 January 2020 - 11:37 AM)

I mean, it is easier to protect HDDs, and you can retransfer the data over and over forever?
@  NotVeryKnightly : (09 January 2020 - 10:45 AM)

Not in this comparison. He's making his own files, so they're (presumably) not restricted by DRM, so he can copy them as many times as he wants. It's potentially more reliable in the long term than hoping the specific copies you originally bought never accrue any damage for the rest of your life.
@  Echowarrior : (09 January 2020 - 10:44 AM)

I prefer physical copies too. Easier to protect something physical and tangible.
@  Maximus Ambus : (09 January 2020 - 09:55 AM)

I prefer having physical copies.
@  Tm_Silverclaw : (09 January 2020 - 08:56 AM)

I have plenty of physical media I turn into digital media for my plex server. Just finished ripping Ultra Seven
@  fourteenwings : (09 January 2020 - 08:50 AM)

Isn't the general consensus that we're supposed to be over physical media anyways?
@  Paladin : (09 January 2020 - 08:17 AM)

i still don't own a Blu-Ray player.
@  TheMightyMol... : (09 January 2020 - 07:35 AM)

My current TV works just fine. I don't see a need to upgrade. And by the time I do, the Next Big Thing will probably be out anyway.
@  Benbot : (09 January 2020 - 03:58 AM)

Me neither. I'm no rebel, though. I'm just poor.
@  Maximus Ambus : (09 January 2020 - 03:38 AM)

I haven't gone 4K yet, I'm a rebel.
@  Ashley : (07 January 2020 - 11:50 PM)

the comic theme is amazing
@  Bass X0 : (07 January 2020 - 03:18 PM)

Sounds like Victor Caroli but I’m not sure.
@  Bass X0 : (07 January 2020 - 02:35 PM)

Should I recognise the narrator of the Mutant Hunt trailer?
@  Maximus Ambus : (07 January 2020 - 04:30 AM)

I got me Titans Return Blaster, now watch them unveil Earthrise Blaster and Generations Perceptor, a retool of Titans Blaster.
@  ThunderWear : (06 January 2020 - 10:22 PM)

I recently switched to to the comic theme here at the Allspark and I'm so happy I just want to look at it.
@  NotVeryKnightly : (06 January 2020 - 08:12 AM)

Can you not take so many lines to say anything?
@  fourteenwings : (06 January 2020 - 07:47 AM)

Iunno, maybe people having unique pronunciations of things re:how they understand language makes the world a more colourful place, rather than one where we correct every seemingly grievous error?
@  Nevermore : (06 January 2020 - 06:12 AM)

Others insist on "Michael Yackson".
@  Nevermore : (06 January 2020 - 06:01 AM)

Because the very combination of those sounds is unknown to them, and thus they avoid it as if it were contagious.

But Mega Drive already does that better.  Much better.
 
I wonder if there's some weird post-Penders mandate that stories must be linked to games somehow.  That said, I'll take 16-bit over anything later, since there's lot of room to move and far less stupid plot devices ...Werehog... to maneuver.


I wouldn't mind seeing them do Generations and homage 90s archie sonic comics with them being less serious.

 

While I won't deny the late 90's era was a tad more serious in tone, specifically the run to the Endgame plot, they really aren't too serious until we got to the soap opera jive in the early 2000's

I'm referring to the earlier stuff, like when Sally was pink and only wore boots, and series was based more off of Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog then SATAM.

No, I mean those comics were less serious. I'd like to see THAT version of sonic meet up and deal with the modern stuff.

So, Sonic Mega Drive part 2 was out today, and it definitely lived up to its predecessor.
 
And, uh...

That Badnik's resemblance to Ravage is almost definitely a coincidence, right?

Normally, I'd dismiss it, but Sonic's artists usually have some Transformers crossover.  Spaziante in particular used to throw in the Matrix in the background junk.


Fall of Cybertron will blow your mind. That is all.

That is sooo cute, hehe. Why is he being a sourpuss tho?

I should get back to reading Sonic.

I read the first 6 issues of the new Archie with Mark Waid (plus 1 issue of Jughead in the tpb). It's pretty good but I need more on why Veronica like Archie. Betty said she might genuinely care for him (noticed his freckles) but I dunno.

I HATED being baited with the caterpillar joke! That was awful! Haha

Which begs the question from me: with 'Mega Drive' what's the point of the flashing back stories in the main book? Both take place around the early game's timeline so it just comes off as reduntant. Couldn't just have the main book present simple, one-shot stories so everyone (characters, creators and readers) a chance of 3 to catch their breath without going back over 'Genesis' ground.
"Some people collect other characters like Jazz or Hot Shot and its encouraged, but I stockpile Cybertron Crosswises and that makes ME the strange one."

To explain this continuity's versions of those events.

 

They did more than just retell Genesis in the first issue, they connected it to the backstory for the Freedom Fighters.


"Disabled people don’t have special needs. We have very reasonable human needs. Our needs include freedom from abuse, violence, and mistreatment, the right to autonomy and self-direction, the right to represent ourselves, equal opportunity for education and employment, the right to accommodation, and societal inclusion and acceptance.

The need for accommodation isn’t a “special need”. It’s a basic human right. It’s a leveling of the playing field that allows us the same opportunities and chances as non-disabled people."
