    The last thing we watched, cartoon/animu edition

    the three Reconguista In g Movies Pro's: pretty. some of the fights are cool, and the mecha designs are interesting and sometimes beautiful, ( i actually got a couple of g-self variants cause its a lovely lokking machine) Cons: Utterly incomprehensible. Motivations are incredibly unclear, and...

    The last thing we watched, cartoon/animu edition

    Den-Noh Coil, on netflix. haven't finished it yet, but its good. Its about a young girl moving to a new city where pretty much everyone wears Augmented Reality Glasses, and thus can interact virtually with pets and each other. Complicating things are Obsolete Spaces, areas where the virtual...

    The last thing we watched, cartoon/animu edition

    G-Gundam, officially uploaded by bandai on youtube. It veers from being entreatingly stupid (a characters clown phobia is caused buy them being taken hostage as a child by gun toting clowns who fire randomly and cause a stampede that almost certainly killed their mom) to very... cringe at...

    The last thing we watched, cartoon/animu edition

    Unfortunately, no. Like I said, the previous two shows I watched had subplots where teenaged girls (one explicitly a schoolgirl) crushed on/fall in love with men in their 30’s st the youngest, and in maison ikkoku one of the main characters is a young widow who married her dead husband (her...

    The last thing we watched, cartoon/animu edition

    Working my way through Card Captor Sakura. Good, fun and cute stuff, but there some WTF elements. In a good way, you have the plot of one episode being that the mascot character gets into a huff, eats an entire box of chocolate liqueurs, and wanders off in a drunken haze. And then you have...

    Any UK transformers collectors got a spare Lifeline?

    Ok, I know this is pretty much a longshot, but got to try I pre-ordered the Ratchet/lifeline two pack that was exclusive to amazon.com. Unfortunately between placing the order and the shipping date, my bank card split and I had to replace it, and stupidly I didn't think to update payment. So...

    Stuff you couldn't get away with in 2020

    Rocket has a sentient Otter girlfriend called Lylla in the comics, and I believe the movies had an easter egg acknowledging the fact that she existed. Off the top of my head, probably Temple of Doom because of how horribly racist parts of it were. ('chilled monkey brains'). Though by the same...

    Digital Comic Books: would you read or collect them? Also Humblebundle comicbook offering

    The nearest comics shop to me is about 26 miles away by bus, so I've largely embraced digital comics. Mainly through comixology.

    Current Systemic Issues in the Anime Industry and Community

    The problem is that a lot of them are made with only one concern in mind - getting paid, and making money. And their quite happy to laser target their products at people willing to spend an inordinate amount of money on merch if they can get enough to get a profit and get paid. These paying...

    TLOU2 Review Thread

    So long as the gullible keep throwing money at them, they'll be as outraged (or feigning outrage) as necessary to keep their bank balance topped up. I'd find it funny if it wasn't leading to so much rage, harassment and radicalisation.

    Is Halo originally a Doom Rip off?

    Honestly, a lot of Halo's 'stuff' can be traced back to a specific series of 90's FPS, Marathon, and its sequels Marathon Durandal and Marathon Infinity. Being guided around by various AI, one of which is a bit crazy and has its own agender. Being a power armoured and enhanced superhuman who...

    Tom King Falsely Accuses Artist Of Being Comicsgate Supporter

    In truth, it was anti feminist (and pretty much everything else) to start with. The artist who was canned was consistently signal boosting a harassment/drama youtuber who targeted women and minorities working in comics. He did this even as the youtuber was targeting HIS WORK COLLEAGUES. That's...

    Times when games impacted you more than you expected.

    Last i can think of Is Iconoclasts. A lot of heavy stuff goes down, and all of it is affecting. I mean, its been months and I'm still thinking about it. Particularly Agent Black. She's probably the character who tries the hardest to kill you through the entire game, but ultimately you realise...

    TLOU2 Review Thread

    its been noted that twitter has systems in places to stop Isis related accounted in their tracks. It's also been noted that one of the main reasons they cant use the same systems on white supremacists is that it would lead to many Republican politicians being banned from the platform.

    TLOU2 Review Thread

    Minor side note, but i find it rather disturbing that with how much TLOU hammers home that Joel is a broken, dangerous and violent man who's left nothing mayhem in his wake, and has very much earned his dark fate... That so many gamers seem to have missed the point entirely and latched onto...
