Con: I had a rather violent upchucking fit around midday.
Pro: I got to text a friend I "must have eaten something bang out of order."

(Thanks to Dr. Kermode, "bang out of order" is my new favorite phrase.) :cool:

Plans to remaster 2006's 'Rogue Trooper' for PS4 etc!


One of the best games ever IMO. Looking forward to replaying this with shiny new graphics (not that the original game has aged that much). Wish more games were remastered like movies.

However, sometimes you get a remaster that's heavy on DNR and winds up looking worse.  The same holds true for games..


 
Scored these today for about 3 dollars all together:


A two sided two part flipper book (not sure the proper terminology):

So...a book?

(seriously I have no idea what you're referring to)

JEDIT: Never mind Im dummb.
 
^ No, whats it all about?

...it is it a doc about Dark Crystal? I recently tried to watch Dark Crystal again, and again I couldn't get into it :(
 
Maybe "seen" was a bad choice of words. It's a three volume graphic novel illustrated by Froud that shows the creation of Thra (the world of The Dark Crystal), the coming of the creatures that would eventually become the Mystics and the Skeksis, and how the Crystal was split.
 
Ok. So that's my question of the day answered.

No. I don't look good in garish pink nail polish :rolleyes:

Any Boxing aficionado's 'round here? I'm working on a comic strip story where a boxer ends up offworld and has galactic adventures, the first introductory chapter has the boxer in a big match and I don't want him to win, I want it to seem like he is going to win but by technicality or bad luck he loses, like he shoulda woulda coulda won but didn't cause BS. What are some scenario's where something like that could happen, or can anybody think of some old classic matches I might watch on the tube for inspiration where something similar happens? It's set in the late 1940s. I could also probably do with a crash course boxing doc, if anybody knows a good one. Thanks!

For a while i thought you were talking about that scifi boxing movie from the 80's called arena
 
Never seen it, though its now on my radar, thanks!
 
yeah arena is about intergallactic fighting. and in the movie they use a computer controlled balancer to equal out the strengths of the fighters so that the fights are "fair" and equal.obviously someone wants to rig the fights so they try to mess with the equalizer. its worth a watch just because its a classic that often goes under peoples radar and will hopefully give you ideas for your comic strip.
 
Rogue, if you haven't read it yet the second volume of Farel Dalrymple's Pop Gun War has a plot strand involving a part-cyborg character getting caught up in an alien boxing competition - there's some neat ideas there that might help jog your creativity.

Failing that, you could always have some sort of additional element which introduces a non-boxing option for the TKO (like chessboxing, but maybe weirder or more exhilarating than chess).

As far as an introduction to boxing goes, you could do a lot worse than the recent Jawbone. It's not a documentary but Barry Mcguigan trained the lead actors for the boxing scenes and it spends a lot of time showing how boxers train and prepare for a fight.
 
... Speaking of the Bay Area, the Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit, which I rode today, is the San Francisco North Bay's first passenger rail system in 59 years (!). It's pricey, infrequent, and doesn't reach nearly far enough South yet, but compared to nothing, it's pretty damn awesome.  :D

I just burnt three fingers with bean burito innards. It didn't look cooked, but it was. I put the burito's back in the oven though, just to be sure its cooked, not making that mistake again!
