Pretty much sums it up. That whole company was a clusterfuck of mismanagement and potential corruption. Fun times. I don't miss it. MWO had its own problems. Gold Mech skins for 500$? Laughed myself sick when I saw that.

Me too. Something a bit easier to use, with more polish. I'd be totally down for that. They did a decent job with Shadowrun, fingers crossed they get to make this. Not enough table-top-wargames have been made into digital form using 1:1 table-top rules.

It lost its developer (Roadhouse initially) and then bounced around for a while trying to find a new one before the publisher (Infinite Games Publishing) shut down and it got canned. The property was sold to someone (not sure who) at the end of 2014 and we haven't heard from it since.

You mean the first "released" and "official" turn-based BattleTech game. MechWarrior Tactics never came out (thank god. that project was shit) and MegaMek has been doing table-top-rules BattleTech for years.

It was already announced that Spider-Man in the MCU was going to be a high-school aged Peter Parker, like two/three weeks ago. Anyone wishing for a college aged Parker or Miles Morales isn't paying attention.

So how does this fit into the existing canon? Is just a "remake" similar to a movie? a stand-alone thing because it's been 24 years since the original and it looks like this is where the movies are going? Or is this meant to somehow supersede the original in the canon? I'm a huge fan of the...

It's Robot Wards on crack! I'd totally watch this if it became a reality.

Most fun I've had all day. I haven't heard him this angry in a while.

Except the target audience of gruesome and gory toys with minimal articulation is adult collectors, not children. The idea that horrific, graphic violence is somehow more appropriate is....I dunno. Off. The target audience for both is clearly adults. They both skew waaaaaay outside the range of...

See, and I distinctly remember going to Toy R Us as a kid and seeing Todd MacFarlane toys for sale. You know the ones, the REALLY gruesome and gory kind that should probably not be SEEN by kids, much less purchased. I mean, its the store's prerogative to sell whatever they want, I buy my figures...

While I agree that new Lobo is a travesty, I'd like to point out that he first appeared in Omega Men #3 (which was actually a Green Lantern spinoff), in 1983. He is NOT actually a parody of The Dark Age of Comics, as he predates that era by about 3 years. If anything, he's the ur-example of what...

Oh man, I still have one of the white ones from the article photo on the front page. I've had it for 27 YEARS. Pretty sure the tail's been sewn back on a bunch of times. What can I say? It was a fuzzy morning-star.

Not sure I like this. Although the character is of Canadian nationality, the character itself isn't a Canadian creation. Superman would more appropriate, at least Superman's original artist and co-creator was Canadian.

So this definitely made my morning.

Not "It looks German", he meant "it looks like something that I don't have a word for, but the word is probably German", due to how harsh German can sound to the English speaking ear.
