Re: General Old Game Hardware Thread
Went ahead and pre-ordered the Evercade VS-R; should be getting it in August. Lord knows I've got plenty of different ways to play old games already, but I appreciate their dedication to the niche/obscure/forgotten stuff. Again, they remade Duke Nukem 1&2 from the ground up, and you can't get th...

Re: IT IS THE YEAR 2005
Transformers #7 introduces a new artist, Jorge Corona. Daniel Warren Johnson (who's still writing) is a tough act to follow but gives Corona exactly what he needs to earn a warm welcome: a lengthy sequence of Soundwave kicking the everloving shit out of Starscream. You know Johnson knows Transformer...
Re: X-Men
Still deciding if "No, my friend. Nine" was a German joke I don't see how there can be any doubt. Morph has turned into not just Magik but also Darkchilde and Colossus in his X-Men costume specifically, which afaik never happened in the original run. No, he just wore a tank top in the '92...

In hindsight I should have realized this was foreshadowing.
Re: X-Men
I like that Wolverine and the X-Men where Wolverine goes off so half-cocked that Forge is fixing the Blackbird in flight.

Re: Friday's Favorite 100 Longform Video Media
Rather than talk about Transformers directly, at this point I'll just add a link to Ron Friedman's GoFundMe. He wrote a lot of the series, most significantly the movie, and now he and his wife are dealing with serious medical problems and the financial ruination that comes with them.

Re: and Dead Tree Comics
In this case they should think of how they draw Colorado.

Re: and Dead Tree Comics
Deadpool #1: How is it that in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Twenty-Four, people are still drawing Flagstaff like a goddamn Speedy Gonzales cartoon?
Yeah, I know Google ain't what it used to be, but I'm pretty goddamn sure you can still find fucking photo reference for Flagstaff.

Re: Friday's Favorite 100 Longform Video Media
See, the thing is, when I think of Robot Chicken, I basically always think of three extraordinarily good shorts from it. These three shorts ARE Robot Chicken, in my brain. If the entire show was just those three shorts, I would probably put Robot Chicken in the top ten. That's how good the shorts a...
Re: X-Men
I don't remember Bastion being any fun in the comics; my recollection was that he was a bog-standard preachy anti-mutant X-Men villain and I hated him. I like him a lot better this way. He's got the "supervillain who's having so much fun " thing going on; he reminded me so much of Malcolm ...

I don't think they even supported it on the Intel Macs for the last decade or so, but I guess stranger things have happened.

Re: Friday's Favorite 100 Longform Video Media
I would never accuse Home Improvement of biting, sophisticated satire, but the central joke that the guy who's obsessed with performative displays of masculinity is less manly than the guy who's quietly competent and doesn't have anything to prove is a perfectly good joke.

Golden Week sale at Steam for various Japanese publishers.
There's also a Steamworld franchise sale; you can get Steamworld Dig for under a buck.
GOG's got some sales on too.

Re: DC Animation
And I am done with my rewatch of Batman and Superman and on to Batman Beyond. Man, it is wild that Superman ends the way it does. Superman disgraced, the public's faith in him shaken, and that's just it . And AFAIK they didn't have any idea they'd ever get a chance to follow it up, though they event...

Re: Trump Leaving Office Poll (Part 2)
Fascinating to see how the constitutional "originalists" are now contemplating whether the president is actually a king It's fucking stomach-churning is what it is. It's not surprising , but just because it's about what I expected doesn't make it any less grotesque. This might be a good d...

Re: Thundercats
#1 is fine. Retells the story of the first episode with a couple of retcons that make the timeline somehow make even less sense By issue #3 it's clear that this is intentional. The Thundercats think they've been in suspension for at least a decade, hence Lion-O's aging, but Slithe referred to his l...

Re: Trump Leaving Office Poll (Part 2)
Generally a good idea to take oral arguments with a grain of salt, but it's looking like the conservatives on the SCOTUS are congealing around some kind of "Well no obviously the president doesn't have total immunity but he has some immunity and we're not going to decide whether or not he's imm...
Re: Mega Man
Japan-Exclusive Demo for Mega Man Legends 2 Receives English Translation
They call it a demo but at a glance it looks to be a unique, standalone series of short missions.
